NEW TO AUDIO: THE REBOUND PLAN (OFF THE ICE) BY AINSLEY BOOTH

#NewRelease





The Rebound Plan - A Hockey Romance (Off the Ice #3) by Ainsley Booth releases July 16th!


Narrated by Lauren Beck, Nathaniel Priestley and Dane Anderson

 

"Sensual heartache meets enduring romance. From rulebreaker to heartbreaker, Booth pushes the boundaries of romance." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: July 16, 2026


I have one week to get my head in the game and forget about my inconvenient attraction to my teammate’s wife.


A relaxing retreat to cottage country with my teammates is the perfect way to prep for the upcoming hockey season.


Or so I thought.


Now I’m trapped in my cabin with my crush–and her jerk of a husband–where it's impossible to get space or clarity. Or get over her. And that mission becomes even harder when I learn that Shannon’s marriage is failing.


With the lines of loyalty and friendship becoming blurred, and relationships being tested in all directions, I know I need to tap the brakes hard.


Until one night when everyone else is at a party down the lake, and the team captain makes me an offer I can’t refuse…to share his wife, and have a taste of the forbidden I always assumed was forever out of reach.


The Rebound Plan is a swoony forbidden romance between a tall, growly, protective hockey player and a failed model-turned-escort-turned-WAG who needs to learn to love herself as much as she loves those around her. It's not a love triangle—you know who to root for from minute one. #TeamRuss the whole way.

The Playing Game - A Hockey Romance (Off the Ice #1) 

By: Ainsley Booth


"...romance with personality. From swoonworthy to heartaching, Kieran and Harper turn emotions inside out." - (Isha C., Blogger Reader Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


Narrated by: Lucas Webley, Michelle  Sparks


https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Game-Hockey-Romance-Book/dp/B0DSCCVGFF/


NHL veteran player Kieran Marsh has had more relationships than trips to the sin bin, making him a player on and off the ice. And two years ago, I had a one night stand with him when I thought I would forever stay the anonymous girl in the hockey jersey.

But now my city has an expansion team, and guess who's one of their star players?

Of course I accept an offer to go see the opening night game. I can't stay away, even though hockey destroyed my family, and so much about Kieran reminds me of the worst things my father ever did to my mother.

And when Kieran sees me in the stands? I know nothing is going to be the same again. This is his game, and he knows how to win.

The Scoring Secret - A Hockey Romance (Off the Ice #2) 

By: Ainsley Booth


  "Hunter and Hatchet turn sweet seduction into unforgettable romance.  From flirty to funny to frustrating, Kyle and Ty are a heatwave that leaves scorch marks." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)

Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Rob Hatchet 

https://amzn.to/3Pp8d3p


Hook up with the irritating hockey player living downstairs? Never. Fall in love with his sexy online alter-ego, on the other hand… a girl might just accidentally do that.

The first time I meet Ty Connor, he comes off as a privileged jerk. The second time, he’s breaking into my best friend’s apartment…apparently, with her permission. And his arrival in my life coincides with the start of a brutal dry spell in my dating life. Do I blame him for that? Maybe a little.

So we’re not going to be friends. But it’s impossible to fully ignore a guy I share a stairwell with.

The only bright spot is an online sexting buddy who I can’t meet in person, because I can’t handle one more bad date. That is, until my feelings for my anonymous online pen pal collide headfirst with the sizzling attraction starting to burn with the jerk downstairs.

Now my best friend is marrying his teammate, and things are getting complicated.

It can’t be more than a secret, summer fling... one that ends before the hockey season starts again. Because I won’t risk falling for another beautiful, talented man who is so far outside my league, nobody would ever believe us as a real couple.

The Scoring Secret is a spicy, blush-inducing slow burn hockey romance with “You’ve Got Mail for the Tinder age” vibes.

About I’VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU (Coming 7/28/2026):

My secret workplace romance starts innocently enough at a birthday party.

But when a rowdy partier knocks me into a lake and a sexy stranger comes to my rescue – my night becomes one to remember.

A night so steamy I almost forget why I’ve sworn off men after a failed workplace romance.

Trouble is, the brand new doggy daycare in Darling Springs that I’ve contracted with is owned by none other than my sexy stranger. Thanks, fate.

Sawyer turns out to be a total grump in a tailored suit, no matter how sunshine-y I am. Even when he squeezes that hard body past me as I bring donuts to work. Or when he pretends he’s not roaming his dark eyes over me as I teach Fido to sit, stay and come.

But I’m focusing on my shiny new future—my dog-training business is suddenly the hottest thing in town, thanks to a new actress client. And when I’m roped into a charity dance number, I smell an opportunity, especially when I learn my hot landlord has an alter ego and a fandom.

Turns out Mr. Serious Boss is up for dance lessons.

Then the entire Dirty Dancing experience.

Giving into our chemistry once won’t hurt. Two might be pushing it. By the seventh, it’s undeniable–I’ve got a crush on him too.


REVIEW: I'VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU (DARLING SPRINGS #2) BY LAUREN BLAKELY

I've Got a Crush on You (Darling Springs, #2)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Spiceaholic. Blakely brings the flavor. Chloe and Sawyer go from pushing the envelope to owning the heart. A feast of the senses you can't put down. From laugh out loud to fiery seduction, I've Got a Crush on You makes all the right moves.












#Excerpt


Ready for whatever the night brings, I cross the lobby and turn the corner into the bar. My heart stupidly skips a beat when I find Sawyer exactly where he promised he’d be. At the end of the bar, with a glass of iced tea in front of him. Music plays overhead. Sounds like Journey. Maybe “Don’t Stop Believin’”?


And is Sawyer…singing along to it?


Well, air singing, since he’s sort of mouthing the words, drumming out a beat on the counter with his hands.


I smother a smile so I don’t look too giddy when I walk his way. But really, this is a great sign. Would a beheader sing along to Journey? I don’t think so. I march over, eye the stool next to him, and say, “Is this seat taken?”


Sawyer rises, a knowing look in his eyes as he sweeps them up and down me in a shameless tour of my body. But he doesn’t answer my question with words. He answers with actions when he cups my cheek, strokes his thumb down my jawline, then comes in close, dipping his face toward mine. Giving me time to say no.


I don’t. I lift my chin in invitation.


He drops his mouth to mine, and for a few dizzying seconds, the kiss is as slow and sweet as a summer afternoon. It’s hazy and warm as he brushes his lips across mine in a teasing whisper of a kiss.


It’s deliciously unexpected. I’m not used to men knowing their mind, making a plan, and sticking to it. But I think I could get used to it in the kissing department, since this kiss goes straight to my head. And, well, my bikini. I’m aching between my thighs already. I grab the collar of his shirt, twisting my fingers around the material so I can hold on tight.


He kisses me for a few more delirious seconds, that trim beard whisking across my face in a light scratch. When he breaks the kiss, I figure that’s when we’ll sit down, but there’s no reprieve. After his mouth quirks up in a too pleased grin, he rasps out, “Come here, Chloe.”


“I’m here,” I whisper.


“Closer,” he says, hauling me against him before he takes another kiss. This one knocks the breath right out of me. It’s hard, demanding, full of teeth and tongue and desire. He kisses me like he wants to f*&k me. His tongue explores my mouth. One hand grips my face. The other ropes around my waist.


There’s no hesitation from him.


No games.


No dicking around.


I have a feeling that Sawyer is unapologetic. A man who wants what he wants and tonight that’s…me

SERIES SPOTLIGHT: KEPT IN PARADISE BY SHAIN ROSE




#SeriesAlert 


#KeptinParadise




IN THE DARK by @author.shainrose is releasing September 29th! 

(Callahan & Jasmina)

 #PreorderNow!









Release Date: September 29, 2026


The stakes are high, but the secrets are buried bone-chillingly deep in the luxurious, ultra-private billionaire enclave of Paradise Grove, where the decadent sizzle of 365 Days meets the scandalous intrigue of Desperate Housewives in USA Today bestselling Booktok sensation Shain Rose’s dark and edgy romance for fans of Ana Huang, Rina Kent, Marni Mann, LJ Shen, and JT Geissinger.





He was only supposed to be a secret fling. A forbidden kiss stolen in the dark . . .

Not the cold-blooded monster who betrayed me.

Callahan Knight is the Diamond Syndicate’s perfect weapon with honed muscles, lethal control, and merciless loyalty. Even when taking out a rival cartel’s capo—my uncle—he doesn’t flinch. He shatters my family without hesitation, and I swear I’ll never forgive him for that.

But the Syndicate doesn’t care about my hatred. To secure their power, they demand more: A vow of marriage or watch everything we love get destroyed.

Now I’m the unwilling bride living in the luxurious prison of Paradise Grove with the man I refuse to call my soon-to-be husband. Instead, he’s the villain. Enemy number one. My tormentor . . .

But also maybe my undoing.

Because when he looks at me with the same fire we once shared, I can’t decide if I want to kill him . . . or kiss him.

Yet, I refuse to be distracted by his touch or piercing gaze. Instead, I’ll play the part, wear the ring, and say my vows all while I dig for his greatest weakness.

Because he may be the Syndicate’s deadliest weapon—

But I’m just as lethal as the monster I have to marry.









REVIEW: IN THE DARK (KEPT IN PARADISE #2) BY SHAIN ROSE 


In the Dark: Deluxe Limited Edition (Kept In Paradise)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From dangerous liasions to fools in love, Cal and Jas turn romance into an epic battle. Rose declares war on the senses with a heartbreaker that is simply, breathtaking. In The Dark is love on the edge. Sensual and emotional collide with an explosion.

With the scandalous intrigue of Desperate Housewives and the decadent spice of 365 Days, this first standalone in a sizzling new series from USA Today bestselling Booktok sensation Shain Rose welcomes you to Paradise Grove, a luxurious, ultra-private billionaire enclave—where the stakes are high, and the secrets are buried deep. Perfect for fans of Ana Huang, Rina Kent, Marni Mann, LJ Shen, and JT Geissinger.

He’s the forbidden enigma I wanted to ignore . . . but instead I’ll be forced to share a home with him.

Jameson Knight arrives at precisely the same time every day to pick up his young daughter from school, smiling as she runs into his open arms.

It’s the only time I see him smile.

I don’t ask questions because it’s not my place. I’m just his daughter’s favorite teacher, nothing more. . . . Until the first bullet flies by us at recess.

Suddenly, I’m risking my life to protect her. And then Jameson drags me back to his estate, claiming it’s a matter of life-or-death.

Now I’m in the most beautiful home I’ve ever seen, faced with an offer from a man who’s just as gorgeous: Be the temporary live-in nanny until he can ensure my safety and find a more permanent solution. It’ll be easy, he promises.

Yet, the arrangement is anything but simple.

Not when Jameson’s hungry stare is all consuming and his touch pulse racing.

And definitely not when I find that nothing in this neighborhood is as it seems, including Jameson.

He may be powerful, possessive, and protective. But he’s also dangerous, demanding, and calculating.

As more of his secrets come out, I should run but . . .

How do I escape the enigma of Jameson Knight if he’s already captured my heart?
