Well, code, social anxiety, and online gaming.
What she didn’t deal in was sexy hockey players.
And she certainly didn’t deal in sexy hockey players like Connor Smith. He was brass. He was loud. He was funny and charming and…ballsy.
Kailey was about the furthest thing from ballsy someone could find.
Connor didn’t seem to care. From the moment she’d showed up at the rink to help her friend set up a player development program for the Baltimore Breakers, he had led a campaign to win her heart.
The thing was, Kailey didn’t actually want her heart to be won, and the more Connor campaigned, the more she resisted. And…the more she resisted and argued and pushed back, the more she found out that she actually could be ballsy.
And the worst thing about that?
It made Connor campaign even harder.
Ballsy by Elise FaberMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Less than perfect becomes an emotional temptation. From heartache to hope, Connor and Kailey are proof that love is more than beautiful words. Ballsy is an expression of the soul that pulls at the heart. A beautifully broken melody that hits all the right notes. My all time favorite, Elise Faber novel.

TEASER ALERT
Neighbors With Benefits by Isabel Jordan is one week away...
Things get hot and hilarious in the suburbs when Neighbors With Benefits by Isabel Jordan releases April 29th!
BLURB:
Ridley Lennox is not having a good day.
Her high school nemesis becoming president of the Homeowner’s Association and trying to ruin her life is bad enough. But when Satan himself moves in next door, everything really starts circling the drain.
Finn Doyle is a menace. The fact that he’s the most gratuitously sexy, extroverted jerk she’s ever laid eyes on is irrelevant. His unneighborly actions make him her sworn enemy.
Which makes it super weird when he joins her war against the HOA.
That’s when everything gets…wacky.
Because somewhere along the line, Ridley, born introvert and known advocate of commitment avoidance, becomes friends with Finn.
And, to her complete disbelief, he seems to want out of the friendzone and into an infinitely more…hands-on relationship.
The wild part? She’s starting to think about it, too. Neighbors with benefits is a thing, right?
Maybe. But only if neither of them does anything stupid…like falling in love.
Neighbors With Benefits (a contemporary romantic comedy) is book 1 in the Love in the Burbs series. It's a light, hilarious, comfort read featuring small town/suburbs hijinks, meddling septuagenarians, copious pop culture references and casual cussing, and tons of witty, snarky banter. Like, TONS. Told in the 3rd person with dual points of view, it has a guaranteed happily ever after. Download today and happy reading!
Isabel Jordan writes because it’s the only profession that allows her to express her natural sarcasm and not be fired. She is a paranormal and contemporary romance author. Isabel lives in Indiana with her husband, eleven year-old son, a neurotic Shepherd mix, and a ginormous Great Dane mix who answers to the name Jerkface. (Don't feel bad for him. He's really a jerk.)

BLURB:
Stranded at the edge of the galaxy, and forgotten by Earth in the wake of tragedy, the small group of survivors on Walker Colony turn to their founder's granddaughter to lead them. With dwindling supplies and an abundance of failing equipment, Shayla keeps the life support systems running with little more than her wits and duct tape as they wait for a ship that may never come.
Built to be faster, larger, and more powerful than human men, cyborgs are the perfect killing machines. The only mistake their creators made was giving them the ability to think and learn. Although fearsome and formidable, they are also enlightened and conscious of their human emotions. They rebel against their programming, escape their enslavement on Earth, and begin their search for a safe place to live in peace.
When the cyborgs discover the abandoned humans on Walker Colony, hope is renewed. The twelve surviving women are in desperate need of supplies and support, while the cyborgs require just a small sample of human female DNA to begin the process of ensuring the survival of their race. To protect the humans, the imposing cyborg captain decrees all women are hands off. Yet, once Freeman sees the fiery-haired Shayla, the powerful leader is on the verge of breaking his own rules.
As she learns more about the cyborgs' heart-wrenching story, Shayla agrees to help. Convincing the other survivors to join her won’t be easy. With the colony crumbling around them, a deal is struck, but a malevolent force is bearing down on them as secrets and betrayals jeopardize their mission. Will the threat result in tragedy for the colonists, or will Free and his cyborgs come to their defense, risking their hard-fought freedom in the process?
A USA Today and #1 international bestselling author, Maddie is a lifelong reader who became a romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked, and gobbled up everything she could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi. If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy, adventurous and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman, Maddie was all over it. As an author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger and suspense to her plots.
Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn't until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She went on to publish eleven novels the first year.

BLURB:
Throwing the perfect party for a siren's birthday is hard enough. Keeping the fussy client happy while trying to stop a killer might be more than the twisted sisters can handle.
When Dahlia is suddenly thrust into the future during a seemingly ordinary meeting, the sisters find themselves at a loss. Lia is haunted by visions of murder, but no one knows who they can turn to for help.
With a persnickety siren demanding an under-the-sea themed birthday party, the sisters could just dive deeper into conch shells, seahorses, and starfish. But when a dead woman is dumped on a busy road, it seems hunting for a killer none of them can identify is now their most important job.
Besieged by zombies, embracing new abilities, and navigating the mounting tension with the Voodoo Queen makes this adventurous new midlife more complicated by the day. The sisters no longer fit in the mundane world, but it seems the magical realm doesn't want them either.
Time to put on their big girl pants and show both worlds what they're made of.

Kai needs a child, an heir for his fortune. But from the moment the big Maltaffian lays eyes on his intended surrogate, he instantly feels an insatiable hunger only she can assuage. If the impatient little Terran wasn’t so anxious to hurry along their conception, maybe he could make her realize she needs him too.
Haven never expected to be a surrogate for an alien, but she’s always up for an adventure. When her best friend decides to volunteer with the top-secret fertility clinic, Haven jumps in right alongside her, with both feet. Though she might be a bit of a party girl right now, she knows she might be glad one day that she took the once-in-a-lifetime chance to restore her fertility.
And the free vacation and cash bonus will be the icing on the cake.
Then she meets Kai.
At first, she’s happy to ogle the mouth-wateringly beautiful Maltaffian male, and secretly very pleased to learn that they’ll be making his baby the old-fashioned way.
But then out of nowhere, he becomes wildly possessive, snarling at anyone who comes near her, making crazy statements about sharing his fortune and his fancy life with her, and swearing he’ll never let her go back to Terra-58 where he can’t protect her.
And that’s when things at the Midsummer Fertility Center start to get weird.

This Science Fiction Romance contains fictional alien solutions to infertility and depictions of surrogacy for aliens that are in no way based on human gestational carrier practices.

An Alpha dragon wants me, but my hands are full with a pack of shifter jerks... Since becoming a shifter, my life has turned upside down. Gone are my days of solitude, enjoying an empty nest while my daughter is off at college. Instead, I'm juggling a new job, anew pack of friends, and a hot dragon shifter making eyes at me. That's enough to drive me crazy, but now I'm also worrying about my daughter accidentally swearing an oath to an evil Alpha of her own. My friends and I have a plan to free her from the alpha’s ruthless control, but the process might be a little reckless. We can use both magic and death, right? I sure hope so.
