HAPPY BOOK WEEK

Power Play by Kat Mizera is #NowLive!






Available on All Platforms


The Phantoms are back with a vengeance… and the City of Angels will never be the same.

I never asked for the spotlight, but inheriting a pro hockey team pulls me into a world of chaos.

All eyes are on me now.

I’m no stranger to the world of hockey but watching from the sidelines and calling the shots are two very different things. Especially when you’re not wanted.

It’s time for me to take charge and clean house.

When I need people I can trust, one man comes to mind… my ex. He’s one of the best goalies in the league, and despite what went down between us, he’s still in my corner.

It’s our little arrangement off the ice that complicates things.

If I’m going to make my power play, I need him by my side, but that means keeping our heads in the game, and our hearts out of the equation.


REVIEW: POWER PLAY (L.A. PHANTOMS) BY KAT MIZERA

Power Play (L.A. Phantoms #1)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mizera has a way with both words and hearts. Her sense of humor, depth of emotion and love of romance are put on full display with Power Play. Gabe and Harper are the perfect blend of sweet and sultry. From the heartache of love to the unpredictability of life, it's hard not to be drawn in to their second chance story.












About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

An arranged marriage is my family’s last chance… I have to marry a ruthless stranger to save them.

This is a hostile takeover, and somehow I’ve become the price.

I'll protect the people in my father's company, even as my father sells it to the highest bidder--along with me. That doesn't mean I'll be the meek bride he expects.

It's a sensual battle of wills. He's the king of the boardroom, and he'll make me his queen. At any cost. Falling for him is a weakness I can't afford.

TAKEOVER is a thrilling new billionaire romance from Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author Nana Malone. Contains a hero who takes what he wants.

Release DateFebruary 20, 2024


“Passion, heat and deep emotion—Naima Simone is a gem!” —Maisey Yates, New York Times bestselling author

He’s the best mistake she ever made…

Back in Rose Bend after a work trip that went wrong, Florence “Flo” Dennison craves the kind of distraction only a searing fling with a gorgeous stranger can provide. And she gets it—in an encounter hot enough to leave scars. But satisfaction turns to shock when Flo realizes her one-night stand is leading the restoration project she’s been hired to photograph. And his sweet little girl has decided Flo’s her new bestie…

Single dad and architect Adam Reed wants stability for his daughter, and he’s sure that Flo—young, ambitious, beautiful—isn’t looking for that. But when his nanny bails and Flo helps him out, it becomes impossible to keep their distance. Now, navigating tangled family ties and her own trust issues, Flo has to decide if one wild night can become so much more.

Bonus novella!

Brooklyn Hayes just woke up in Vegas married to her best friend, who also happens to be her sister’s ex. Will they make it through a trip back home without spilling their secret…or falling in love?

REVIEW: THE SINGLE DAD PROJECT (ROSE BEND) BY NAIMA SIMONE

The Single Dad Project (Rose Bend)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What I love most about reading a Naima Simone story is no two books are ever the same. It's that variety of personality that keeps me coming back for more. Rose Bend is one of my favorite series because of the eclectic mix of humor and heart. The Single Dad Project is a perfect edition to the series. Adam and Flo are emotionally stunning, frustratingly, irresistible and abundantly human. That makes for a relatable and unforgettable, heartbreaker of a read.

CODE NAME: MAGNET (K 19 ALLIED INTELLIGENCE TEAM #5) BY HEATHER SLADE


"From sensory overload, to breathtaking danger, Code Name: Magnet is a firestorm that burns it's way into your soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)





Release DateFebruary 20, 2024



A man of attraction.
A man full of lure and connection.
Magnet is the brawn behind the brains—and impossible to resist.


I’m more than muscle and mastery. I’ve got more than just my head in the game. We’re so close to finding our target, so close to putting an end to the reign of one of the biggest human trafficking rings in the world. This is the worst time for my commander to add a green agent to my team, especially one who lacks self-confidence. I don’t have the will or the manpower to train her, but there’s something about the woman that attracts me like no other ever has.

Innocent people need me for protection, sanctuary, and I’m not going to lie, they need me for retaliation and redemption too. But there’s something about this particular woman that has me on high alert. A handful? Maybe. Sexy? Definitely.

If there’s one thing I know, it’s the power of attraction. This is one connection we’ll never relinquish.

While each title in the K19 Allied Intelligence Team One Series is a standalone featuring one couple with their own HEA, the books in the series may be more enjoyable read in order.

"From the heat of attraction, the fire of romance and the heartache of life comes of an unforgettable match. Moreland flips the script and finds a haunting love story. A tarnished beauty that sticks to the heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer  - Hopeless Romantic)




I rescued her because I had to.

 I  fell in love with her because she gave me no choice. 

Roman Costas 

Powerful. Intensely private. Cold. Dangerous. 

When he unwittingly puts an innocent woman in danger, he does something he never planned.

 Becomes involved.

 He didn’t anticipate the feelings Effie Warner brought out in him. 

He didn’t expect the woman he rescued to become his world. 

All he knows is that he’ll burn down the city to keep her safe. 

No matter the consequences.
