Mad Rivals by Lisa Suzanne


A steamy Pro Football, Business Rivals, Enemies to Lovers Romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.

Pro football legend Madden Bradley was never supposed to be anything but my enemy. With one season left on his contract, he’s set to take over his family’s empire, and I’m his business rival. Forced into a partnership we both resent, the last place I should be is tangled in his sheets.

Now we’re stuck working together, and the more we clash, the more explosive the tension becomes…until it finally detonates.

He’s maddening, charming, and completely addictive. And when he murmurs exactly what he’s going to do to me, I forget that he’s supposed to be the enemy.

Our forbidden romance has to stay between us. Our families can’t find out. Our companies can’t know. The truth could destroy everything we’ve worked for.

But when we discover a buried secret together, Madden faces an impossible choice:
The legacy he was born to lead… or the woman he was never supposed to fall for.

To The Chase by Julia Wolf

I’ve never thought of myself as forgettable.

I’m confident. A little grumpy. I’m never afraid to speak my mind. I’ve got curves for days, and hair the color of a summer sky.

All that tends to leave an impression.

So when he shows up two years after ghosting me, acting like we’ve never met, I’m more thrown than I care to admit.

Salvatore Gallo is shy, brilliant, and only speaks when he means it. He’s the CEO of a billion-dollar cyber security company, but he blushes when I tease him and watches me like I’m a code he can’t quite crack.

He’s still the same man who made my heart flutter with a single, intense stare.

And now he’s asking for a second chance.

I should say no. I want to. But this time he’s not hiding how much he wants me and I’m as drawn to him as ever.

The problem? He is hiding other things. Like the three kids who’ve become his entire world. Choices he’s made. And a life I’m not sure I’m ready to be part of.

But Salvatore Gallo is patient. Persistent. Devastating in the way he shows up for me, again and again.

He’s chasing me, and I don’t know how much longer I can keep pretending I don’t want him to catch me.

Dream On by Jennifer Hartmann

Lexington Hall and I were never supposed to collide—he, the golden boy of Hollywood, and me, a small-town dreamer with stars in my eyes. But when we shared the stage in our high school musical, something ignited.

Then, just as quickly, it all fell apart, leaving my dreams in pieces.

Now, four years later, Lex is a household name, turning our past into a television sensation. He's spun our story for the world to see, while I'm still haunted by what we lost.

With millions obsessed over the "real" Stevie St. James, Lex reappears with an offer too tempting to turn down: a fake romance to keep the buzz alive, in exchange for the financial freedom I desperately need.

I convince myself I can play the part. But as old feelings resurface and new risks emerge, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur.

Dreams are easy to chase—but falling for the guy who shattered mine could cost me everything.

Vicky is an outlier. An outlier in society, an outlier in the business world; she’s even an outlier in her own family. She knows that people find her weird and annoying, and she’s resigned to her loneliness until she sees him. Having never been attracted to any man before, her new obsession with burly, rough and ready Mike and the fact she can’t breathe when he’s close comes as a shock.

Unfortunately, Vicky’s cold beauty doesn’t appeal to Mike. The woman they call the Ice Princess is the opposite of his type, and her obvious crush irritates him. How many times does he have to make it clear he’s not interested before she gets the message?

But there are things about Vicky, Mike doesn’t know. Reasons she behaves the way she does. Loneliness, vulnerability and kindness, that she keeps hidden. And information her family 
should have shared with him. So when the fireworks start, and she screams, he acts on instinct, pulling her body into his. And when she buries into his chest, shaking in fear, for some reason he’s not so annoyed by her anymore…

This is a full-length, enemies-to-lovers romance with a neurodiverse heroine and a grumpy but protective hero.

Universal link https://jwbooks.pub/CowboyContract


Ten years ago, Leland made a drunken deal with his best friend. Agreed if they were both single at thirty-five, they’d marry each other.

He’s counted down every damn day since.

But when her birthday comes and goes with neither of them saying a thing about that pinky promise they made so many years ago, he’s faced with a decision.

Confess everything—tell Paige he’s loved her since they were kids and was just too young and stupid to do anything about it. Or keep his fool mouth shut.

If Paige doesn’t love him back, he could lose her completely. But watching her find someone that’s not him would be the worst torture he could imagine.

The risk versus reward is enough to stall him in his tracks.

Proving he’s older, but still might be just as stupid.

The Reluctant Siren by Lexi Blake

Harlow Dawson went through something terrible while working a case in Los Angeles. She fell in love. To be fair, the love part wasn’t so bad, but the betrayal left her devastated and in police custody. She returned home to decide how to move forward. One thing was for certain. Her life wouldn’t include Jensen Wiley. Two years later she’s back on her feet, working with her best friend, and building her business. She’s been falling for a new guy at The Hideout. Niall Griffen makes her feel safe. Until she learns his secret at the worst possible time.

Jensen Wiley has spent years working his way up in the criminal organization that took his brother’s life. The only thing that ever threatened to break his need for revenge was meeting Harlow Dawson. She became his partner until he realized she was being drawn into the darkest part of the organization. He had very little time to get her out and didn’t think she would go quietly. He knows his betrayal saved her life, but he hasn’t stopped loving her. Now they’re in the same city and he needs someone watching over her. He means to keep his distance until she walks right into the middle of his mission.

Niall Griffen has worried about his best friend, Jensen, for years. When Jensen asks him to watch over the woman he loves, Niall reluctantly agrees. The trouble is he falls for her too. If nothing happens, he doesn’t feel there’s any reason to talk to his friend about their unrequited love triangle. But after one night together changes everything, Niall knows he needs a new plan to make sure no one gets their heart broken. The good news? Harlow comes from a family with an interesting dynamic. He just might be able to make this work for all of them.

Things begin to unravel when Jensen’s past comes back to haunt him and the man he’s been hunting threatens to turn the tables on him. Protecting Harlow is now the only priority and might just send them all right into the relationship they all need.

Over the Moon by Laura Pavlov


Hockey is my first love, and I’m coming off the best season of my life.

I scored the winning goal and we went on to win the Stanley Cup.

In the process I tore my MCL, and I’ll spend the next few months recovering.

Eloise Gable is the team’s new physical therapist, and she’s a distraction I wasn’t prepared for.

She’s been sent to Rosewood River, the small town where I grew up, to help me heal

and get me ready for the new season.

Yet, she doesn’t seem all too happy about the situation.

In fact, she can’t stand me most days.

It doesn’t stop me from staring at her any chance I get.

She’s beautiful and brilliant, but she’s got her guard up the minute I get close.

Did I mention that she’s also my coach’s daughter?

But after a long run together in the summer heat, we end up stripping down to our undies and jumping in the river.

It seemed like the logical thing to do.

The problem is, Eloise Gable is completely off limits.

But I’m a professional hockey player, and in my world, limits were meant to be pushed.

Hockey may be my first love, but after falling for my coach’s daughter—

It's definitely not my last.

Sometimes the temptation is too much to deny.

Falling into bed with my best friend’s brother was an accident.
What happened right after… not so much.

With abs more defined than the Texas Hill Country and a killer smirk I can’t ignore, the “boy next door” is all grown up and too hot for his own good.

My heart races for a man who’s forbidden.
My breath catches each time his hand brushes against mine.
His heated glances melt me, leading me closer to temptation.

One night together has us desperate for more. But we have no desire to give this small town something to talk about—or worse, upset his sister.

But when a new tyrant of a landlord threatens my family’s business, I need a miracle.

Call it a marriage of convenience or a friendly favor, but he comes through for me. The diamond ring on my finger gets me out of a jam but also has us confronting our feelings.

Did I just make a deal with the devil? Or am I actually falling in love with my fake husband?

With characters causing quite the stir in their small town of Peachtree Pass, readers are going to fall in love with not only this setting but along with the characters in this coming home story.

Married to Number 22 by Elise Faber

I signed the contract.
I just didn't expect her to show up ten years later, ready to cash it in.

Recently traded to the Grizzlies, I’m struggling to find my place on the team. I’ve changed coasts, moved away from my best friend, from the Breakers who became family, and…I’m alone.

And it’s my birthday.

A fact that everyone around me seems to have forgotten.

Until a knock at the door proves differently.

I was in love with Luna when I was a teenager, and now she's on my doorstep, vivacious and beautiful and…holding a piece of paper I barely remember.

One that says we’ll get married…

And I think I’m just insane enough to say yes.


Married to Twenty-Two is the first book in the brand new Grizzlies Hockey series. If you love big, bearded hockey players who fall hard and fast for the women they love, this series is for you!

Every child deserves to be loved.

Every child deserves parents who love them.

Yet, for as long as I can remember, I’ve harbored an insatiable craving for that one simple thing.

Love.

I was desperate for it. Through years of mistreatment and degradation, I longed for the affection I saw others receive. And I was willing to do anything to prove myself to the people I wanted it from—including going to war.

Yet it was never enough. Nothing ever was.

Except when it came to Laura, my high school sweetheart … and I pushed her away.

Over and over again.

Because how could I possibly deserve love from her—or anyone—if my own parents couldn’t find me worthy of theirs?

Maybe I’m just not worthy of anything.

Ruining Hattie by P. Rayne

A man with no limits is the most dangerous kind of threat.

When Trent Clarke caught me picking pockets at eleven, he didn’t turn me in. Instead, he took me under his wing and taught me that in this world, you take what you want and never look back.

He might have shaped me, but I built my empire of the most successful string of strip clubs on the West Coast.

Now that I have everything, it’s time to track down my deadbeat mother and remind her who she left behind. That is if the drugs didn’t kill her already.

But I don’t find the worn-down shell of the woman I remember. Instead, she has all the things she never managed to give me—the white picket fence, a family dog, even church on Sunday mornings.

The real kicker? She replaced me and raised the perfect daughter with all the care and love she never gave me.

A twisted need for revenge roars to life inside me, and I aim it at my mother’s precious stepdaughter—sweet, sheltered Hattie Sinclair.

At first, it’s purely about vengeance, pulling Hattie into the darkness to watch her innocence unravel piece by piece. But she becomes something more. Something dangerous. Something I can’t resist.

Until she becomes my obsession.

The Way We Win by Tia Louise


Coach Bradford has a dirty little secret… and it’s not (just) me.


Jack Bradford is the oldest of the Bradford siblings, my best friend’s brother, and my son’s

football coach.

He’s six-two, dark hair, ocean-blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a square jaw that’s perpetually

flexed.

He’s a hero in our small town, and the gentle way he cares for his young daughter will melt

your… everything.


I’ve done my best to show my interest, even walking down the aisle on his arm four times (in

his younger siblings’ weddings).

Everyone in Newhope ships us, but he always keeps me at arm’s length.

I’d pretty much given up on landing this DILF, when an overbearing dad says my son is only QB-1

because I give the coach “special favors.” (I wish!)

Then my ex-con ex-husband starts threatening us, and the walls break.


Coach Jack shows up at my door, sleeps on my couch, and his fight disappears.

Being with him is beyond my wildest dreams. His secrets don’t scare me.

He’s everything I’ve ever wanted… and more.

Together, we’re a win, and at last I go from dirty little secret to dirty little wife.


(The Way We Win is a small-town, single dad, single mom, football romance with a HOT high

school football coach, a sexy librarian, Friday night lights, ALL the Bradford fun, SPICE, and a

touch of suspense. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)

First comes love. Then comes marriage.
We all know how the rhyme ends.
Except I don’t want love. I sure as heck don’t want another marriage.
But a baby? That I’m desperate for.
And I know exactly who can help me with that.
Simon has always been there for me. He listens to me. Supports me. Makes me feel like maybe I’m not as broken as I think I am. He wants me to be happy. To move beyond the pain of my past.
That’s why I’m shocked and more than a little disappointed when he doesn’t immediately agree to my offer.
Until he explains his conditions. Then, I’m downright terrified.
There will be no single-motherhood for me if we do this. Simon wants not only in my bed, but also in my life.
I’m not sure that’s a deal I can make.
And when the past comes back to haunt me, I might not get the chance to decide.

**Tear Me to Pieces is a romantic suspense set in the Lost Boys world. It includes an overarching plot line that continues in Butch and Becca's book, Desired Perception (part of the Alaskan Security series I write as Jemma Westbrook. I promise it makes sense.)

I never imagined I’d agree to an arranged marriage for over 5 million dollars.

Not to mention that the man I’d be marrying is someone I’d already met once before.

Gage Kingston waltzes into the meeting with the lawyer unaffected—cocky, tattooed, and acting like he didn’t know who I was.

But after we agree we’d be stupid to walk away from that kind of money, we embark on a six month timeline to riches despite the animosity between us.

Now I’m living with the man his aunt thought would be perfect for me while wondering if the woman was going insane before she died to think this was a good idea.

Then the first letter came.

Turns out Diane had a plan to get us to fall for each other while trying to make our marriage work.

Arguments turn to meaningful conversations.

Innocent brushes turn to lust-filled challenges.

And before I know it, we’re crossing every line we drew in the sand.

Did Diane somehow know that we were meant for each other before we figure it out for ourselves?

Or was jumping into a marriage with a man I barely knew one of the worst mistakes of my life?

Good Directions by Claire Hastings

Read now: https://geni.us/GoodDirections



It was a stupid bet—that I could find a date, a real date, to my sister's wedding. Or I was at the mercy of my brothers’ whim.

No problem. I got this.

Except…I don’t.

Until I meet Sawyer Brown. The moment she pulls up to my roadside fruit stand looking for directions, I’m all in.

Then she tells me to go to hell.

Which is just peachy since she just so happens to be the expert the state sent to help my company this summer.

To say that we don’t exactly hit it off is an understatement. As it turns out, I happen to have something Sawyer desperately needs, and I’m not above using that to leverage her into being my girl—even if it is just for show.

But pretty soon fake dates turn into real ones, keeping secrets turns into baring it all, and our reasons for doing this slowly fade away.

Or so I thought…

The best man ghosted me six years ago after kissing me, and now I have to plan every wedding event under the sun with him.

Nate Stiles is the definition of serious.
Furrowed brow? Check.
Rain cloud personality? Double check.

I shouldn’t be thinking about the fact that our kiss was the best one of my life right now. I should be planning the bachelorette party of the millennium.

I shouldn’t be wondering when Nate became such a good dancer after we got roped into salsa lessons with the happy couple. I should be mentally ticking off boxes on my bridal checklists.

I shouldn’t be wondering what it would be like if I didn’t hate Nate Stiles. I should be holding strong against a man who doesn’t believe in love.

My name is Essie Lovelock. I am a reformed love obsessed fairytale fanatic and I’m determined to be the best maid of honor my best friend could ever have.

And I am absolutely not going to fall for the best man.

Book reviews for books read May 3rd - May 10th

  Happy weekend!  I read two ARCs this week. They were both very different and both very good. Marika Ray's new book is going to be the perfect summer read. Take it to the lake or the beach and fully enjoy the quirky romance between Maple and Holt. I promise you will adore the meddling seniors along the way. Then I read an arc by a debut author and it knocked  my socks off. When was the last time you got a book hangover from a brand new author? Yeah, it is a rare thing but it happened to me this week.  Check my reviews and add these to your TBR. You wont be sorry. Until next time, happy reading.

Best Reads of 2024

 It is 2025!
