Penalty for love?

Henrik Grenick meets Jacqui Polson at the music store where she works.  They are both immediately attracted to one another.  He is having an off night, and was looking to maybe buy a new guitar.  Jacqui is so busy with school and work that she has no time for men, anyway.

Penalty Play (Power Play Book 3) - Lynda AicherHenrik talks her into meeting him for lunch and a friendship forms.  They have quite a bit in common, mainly music.  She has 4 older brothers who love hockey, so even though she does not recognize him, she still understands the demands of the game.  After lunch, she takes him to the college practice room and they play together.  

They become more than friends quickly.  And soon become so much more than that.  Jacqui is determined to have him when she wants.  The chemistry between them is explosive right from the start.  Henrik is angry about this at first.  He wants more from her and with her.

Jacqui has secrets that can destroy their relationship.  She is not sure she wants to be close to him because of the secrets she carries.  Henrik is not sure how to keep her close, when he can feel her drawing away.  Can love conquer all?

This story was so moving and sweet.  Yet there is a side of HOT also.  I love this about the Power Play series.  We are reading about strong, alpha type men who love fully.  This is book 3 in the series and it is so good!  I give this book a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Cherry Pie (Mercury Rising Book 1) by Samantha Kane     Date of Publication: September 16, 2014   Blurb:   You can go home again if you can get a foot in the door.   Mercury Rising, Book 1   A year after packing and moving from L.A. to Mercury, North Carolina, John Ford still hasn't adjusted to the heat. Or to life without his long-time partner. As he fixes up the old house he bought, the quiet becomes his only companion, and he's content with that—until a deep-voiced stranger plants himself under a tree across the street.   Eight years ago, Connor Meecham left someone behind in that house—himself. Now he's back to find the man he used to be, before drugs and prison sent his life careening off the tracks. But it's not his mother's face peering through the window any more. It's a man who seems as lost as Conn himself.   When John learns what the house—and the dying town—mean to Conn, he finds himself opening the door to his heart. Just

This is book #6, in the True North series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding of the series, and too avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this compelling series in order. Skye returns to the place she hates the most to help out the sister she always wanted.  When she gets there, tables have turned.  There is now danger if she pushes too far in finding her sister.  Who can she turn to? Benito AKA "Ben" is a blast from the past, who has always had a thing for Skye.  She was the one that got away, and he has no intentions of letting that happen again.  He also has to find her sister and solve his case. While this author is a definite auto purchase, she always brings the goods to the table.  In this story, we get a second chance romance with such heart and heat that every page is a sizzling delight!  I loved the banter, and was eagerly turning each page to get to the next.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***Th
