Waiting

Image
Foster goes off to the new year of college with a focus in mind - Hockey.  Then his brother adds a twist.  He asks him to keep an eye on his best friend who will be attending the same institution of learning.  The same best friend who is close to his brother, whom he has avoided since he felt the pull of attraction. Zach is not a people person.  He is however, a Foster person.  He has always wanted Foster. He gets single minded in his studies and can be a bit different.  Foster never makes him feel that way.  This couple had me rooting for them from the very first chapter.  I enjoyed this read.  I found the characters very real and fascinating.  There was humor and heat, and a real connection.  I could not put this book down.  I give this a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Seconds

Noah meets Spiro after he comes to stay with his Grandmother for the summer before he goes off to college. At first he is just in awe of the good looks, great body, and superior smile. Then as they become friends it has the potential to turn into more. Spiro has to watch himself. He is reminded at every turn by his uncle that he is there at the courtesy of this family who owns it all. Can he help it if they have such an amazing person such as Noah in their family? He is struggling to hide his interest in such an amazing young man. This story takes you through the beginning of first love, and off to the reunion as well. While not normally my style, I found my self intrigued by the story itself. These two lives being brought back together as one was almost magical. It is refreshing, honest, and felt very sincere. I think it is the way we look through most of the story through Noah's innocent eyes. I give this read a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy wa...

Release Package ~ Blocked

Image
     Title: Blocked Series: Boston Terriers Hockey Author: Jacob Chance Genre: New Adult/Sports Romance Release Date: June 26, 2020         Attending Boston University was something we were supposed to do together, until Shaw Masters, my brother’s best friend, broke my heart and chased our dream without me.  Choosing bromance over romance, Shaw is now living his best life, playing hockey for the Boston Terriers while I’ve wasted a year letting my shattered heart rob me of my future.   But not anymore.    Now, also attending B.U., I’m determined to forget he exists.    Who cares if he’s everywhere I turn with his familiar, lingering gaze drawing me in?    Who cares if his presence stirs up old feelings best forgotten?   He might be the goalie, but it’s my turn to block him from gliding back into my heart.           ...

“I’d never wanted to kiss someone more than I did right then, standing in the middle of a crowded dance floor in nothing but my Pikachu boxers, dancing with a woman who was unlike anyone I’d ever met. She’d gotten so fully and completely under my skin, I didn’t know how I’d existed before I met her.” ~ The Perfect First by Maya Hughes (Fulton U #1)

Finally

Image
This is book #3, in the Boston Terriers Hockey series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this fun series in order intended. Maddie is finally done with high school and on to the rest of her life.  A life she has been waiting and hoping for.  Along with Shaw giving her a chance at a future, anyway.  Only he has no idea. Shaw has been feeling something new for Maddie for a while.  Not really sure how to approach it, he wants to feel her out without her overprotective brother in the way.  Little does he know how poetic those thoughts are going to be. The series continues with the latest couple being my new favorite.  I love how their friendship builds with somewhat ease.  They were already connected, so it was only a matter of time.  The characters were a pleasure to read.  I was rooting for them right from the very start.  I give this r...

“I want a man with clear intentions. A man who makes an effort and is excited to spend time with me. A man who actually wants to want me. If he has to fight himself to be with me, then chances are he'd never fight for me if it came down to it. What woman would ever choose somebody like that?” ~~ The Chase by Elle Kennedy (Briar U, Book #1)

Solid

Image
This is book #4, in the Briar U series.   This can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding, and to avoid spoiler, I recommend reading this series in order. Conor was a typical party guy who loved being a player.  Lately he has found himself being played.  Girls just want to get with him to brag that they caught a hockey player.  He is doubting a lot of things lately. Taylor is being dared yet again by the Sorority Sister who still hates her.  She has just one plan - be honest with Conor on what is going on and hope for the best.  What does she have to lose?   The attraction between the lead characters is obvious right from the start.  I was eagerly reading each page, and not even wanting to stop to eat.  This series has been sexy and fun from the first book! In my opinion, this is the best book yet.  I loved the banter, so edgy and clever.  I wish my college years had these two in it.  I...

Excerpt Reveal - The Dare

Image
      THE DARE Get ready for another binge-worthy romance from New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy ! College was supposed to be my chance to get over my ugly-duckling complex and spread my wings. Instead, I wound up in a sorority full of mean girls. I already have a hard time fitting in, so when my Kappa Chi sisters issue the challenge, I can’t say no.   The dare: seduce the hottest new hockey player in the junior class.   Conor Edwards is a regular at Greek Row parties…and in Greek Row sorority beds. He’s the one you fall for before you learn that guys like him don’t give girls like me a second glance. Except Mr. Popular throws me for a loop—rather than laughing in my face, he does me a solid by letting me take him upstairs to pretend we’re getting busy.    Even crazier, now he wants to keep pretending. Turns out Conor loves games, and he thinks it’s fun to pull the wool over my frenem...

Callie has had to push herself to survive.  To come here to school, to go forward with her plans, and get on with her life.  After great tragedy she intends to be her best self. Hayden remembers Callie from high school.  He remembers wanting her from afar.  He remebers her bully attitude.  He does not know who she is now.  Maybe its time? Such a sweet and sexy story.  I found myself entrenched into the story rather quickly.  Not wanting to put down for anything.  I loved the friendships that were built.  The characters are endearing, charming, and the chemistry is sudden and hot!  I loved this story and cannot wait for the next installment in this incredible series!  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an hones review only.
