“I thought the book was fascinating and memorable. I appreciated the raw honesty. I felt for the author's, her family's, and her friends' tragic moments. I respected the author's opinions and ideas; however, there were times when my perspective was different. I liked the writing style as I thought it was reflective of life. I enjoyed Megan Tusing's narration as her performance kept my attention.”

REVIEWSULLIVAN: AN IRISHMEN DUET SPIN-OFF BY MELANIE MORELAND 

Sullivan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A dangerous liason that's easy on the senses and hard on the heart. Autumn and Sully take the adage "old enough to know better, but still too young to care" to heart. From spicy attraction to heartbreaking romance, Moreland turns unpredictable into irresistible. The thrill of the chase is an intriguing yet haunting, showstopper.



#Excerpt



He told her the one thing that could make her walk away.


“A long time ago. We grew up in a different world from yours. I know it’s hard to understand, but our reality isn’t simply black-and-white. There is gray, and I’m part of that. The day I had to end a life, I saved an entire family. I’m not proud of it, but I don’t regret it.” I paused. “And I’d do it again to save someone I love. Especially you.”


“I knew this was too good to be true,” she whispered. “That there would be something to end this.”


Horrified, I was on my knees in front of her, holding her cold, trembling hands. “No, Autumn, No. I’m still me, mo fhiadh beag. The man who loves you. I would never hurt you. I would die to protect you.”


“I’m so confused.”


“I know. I didn’t want you to find out like this. I wanted to sit down and tell you.”


“Why didn’t you?”


I smiled ruefully, tucking a strand of her silken hair behind her ear. “Because I was afraid of exactly this—losing you. Afraid you would walk away when you saw all of me.” I met her teary eyes. “I’m just a man, Autumn. Flawed. I’ve made choices I’m not proud of, but I strive every day to be better. The part you fear now is a very small piece of me but one I have had to use to survive at times. But it doesn’t change who I am. I’ve never felt about someone the way I do you.”

SCORING CHANCE (COLORADO DRAGONS #5) BY ERIN PARISIEN is #nowavailable!


"Heat, humor and heart join forces to create a captivating heartbreaker. From unpredictable to irresistible, Avery and Logan are a banquet of the senses that stirs up trouble" - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


Release DateApril 22, 2026


When romance author, Avery Daniels, agrees to shadow a professional hockey player as research for her upcoming series, she never dreams she’ll get to meet her long-time crush, Logan Keller. Or end up in the emergency room.

But accidents happen, and she’s more than willing to forget about the whole thing. Too bad Logan isn’t. His guilt runs deep, and in order to make it up to her, he offers to give her a deep dive into all things hockey. Including a place to stay for the duration of her trip. His spare bedroom.

It would be foolish to agree, for so many reasons. But it would be a great way to get all the inside knowledge on the life of an actual player. And spend some time with someone who's intrigued her for most of her life.

But Logan is hiding a secret. He knows exactly who Avery is, and she isn’t the only one with a crush. Now he just needs to convince her to give his offer a chance.

"Fragile to the touch, but stronger than it looks. Davis breaks down the stereotypes of romance to find a love story that is unforgettable waiting in the wings." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


Release DateApril 12, 2026


He's the team's captain—strong, empowering, and chivalrous. She's a decorated veteran—smart, beautiful, and fierce.


I breathe, eat, and sleep hockey. It's my duty, my honor, my privilege to give all I have to my team, for my team. Lead by example. Leave the pain on the ice, wearing blood and sweat on my jersey with pride.


No sacrifice is too big… or so I thought.


Emmeline knows true sacrifice. Face of an angel. Heart of a warrior. Marine turned coffee shoppe owner, brewing a mean cup of joe kissed by the heavens, protective of her family by choice and those in need of saving.


I thought I knew sacrifice. I had no idea. Em makes me look like an amateur.

And I can't get enough. I can't get her out of my head, not that I want to.

But she's full up. She has no need nor desire for a pro athlete who lives in the limelight and dines with celebrities and politicians.


I face off with the toughest players in the NHL, yet I can't break the ice around her heart. I'm a warrior of a different kind, and I'm prepared to go to battle for her.

Release DateApril 15, 2026


A new team. A clean slate. 

Storm Cromwell comes to Denver determined to step out of his famous NHL brother’s shadow and prove he belongs on the ice. Hockey is the only thing that matters—until he meets Asher King.

Confident, brilliant, and completely off-limits, Asher is the heiress to Denver’s hockey empire, carrying a legacy heavy enough to crush anyone who dares to touch it. With her grandfather in hospice and a ruthless family war brewing, her future—and the empire itself—hangs by a thread.

Storm should stay focused. Asher should keep her distance. But the pull between them is impossible to ignore. He sees her beyond the name and the power. She sees him as more than a reckless distraction. As loyalty, ambition, and desire collide, they’re forced to choose how much they’re willing to risk.

Letting each other in could cost them everything … but walking away might destroy them both.

THE FIRST RULE OF FAKING IT (COLORADO DRAGONS #3) BY A. RIVERS


"....temptation at it's most enticing. Flirty. Funny. Fabulous. Rivers aim for humor and ends up owning the heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


Release DateApril 17, 2026


What’s worse than being stuck in paradise with your ex and the woman he cheated on you with?

When your hot hockey player best friend–who’s always made your heart beat a little faster–insists on pretending to be your new boyfriend.

Alec means well, but no one–not my ex, not my friends, and certainly not my family–is going to believe he’s suddenly madly in love with me. The only person at risk of believing the act… is me.

But maybe I’ll get through this despite his tempting touches, lingering smiles, and the fact there’s only one bed in our hotel room… as long as I remember the most important rule of Don’t fall for your fake boyfriend.

LAST LINE OF DEFENSE (COLORADO DRAGONS #4) BY DANIELLE WRIGHT


"April and Davi turn sweet romance into delectable temptation.  Unpredictable has never felt so satisfying." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)



Release DateApril 19, 2026


April

My whole life changed in a night. Broke up with my douchebag boyfriend, decided to take a new job in another state, bonus on that I would be working with my sister who I missed like crazy. All big life changes.

Biggest life change that I was not anticipating, was Sandavi, 'Davi' Badagova.

To prove to my ex that I could do so much better than him, I walked up to Davi and kissed him in a bar. Which lead to a night I will never forget, and a friendship I was never expecting, and the man who was going to change everything, if I let him. That was my biggest challenge.


Davi

As the starting goalie for the Colorado Dragons, I was absolutely the last line of defense for my team. I love it. Thrived on studying the movements of my opponents, learning to anticipate shots before they were even fired. Never in my life did I think that would translate into my personal life. Watching April strut up to me at the bar, lean into me and kiss me was something I never expected, and a moment I will never forget. She’s moving to my town, working for my team. I want more. She does too, but she’s scared. No worries, I’ll learn what she needs from me, I’ll fight the battles she’s got going on in her head, and I’ll protect the treasure she is. I am a Dragon after all.

POWER PLAY (COLORADO DRAGONS #6) BY S.L. STERLING


" ....a battle of spirit that pulls at the heartstrings. Sterling combines heat and heart with explosive results. From forbidden attraction to tempestuous romance, Power Play is an uphill battle that ends up being worth the climb." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


Release DateApril 24, 2026


He’s the team’s enforcer—scarred, gruff, and untouchable. She’s the coach’s daughter—off-limits, infuriating, and impossible to ignore.

On the ice, I’m built for battle, my scars a warning to anyone who dares get too close. Off the ice, I am just as guarded, convinced love is nothing but drama I don’t need. Bianca is the last person I should want—spoiled, privileged, and protected by the one man I can’t cross.

But every clash between us sparks fire. Every argument feels like foreplay. And the more we fight, the harder it becomes to deny the pull between us.

Rules say she’s forbidden. My heart says it’s inevitable.

And when hate blurs into something dangerously close to desire, neither of us can pretend anymore.

Duff has always been the guy women run to after heartbreak. He’s a pleasant distraction. A safe place to land before they move on. He tells himself he’s fine with that. He has to be.

But Emmy was never supposed to be one of them.

When her marriage implodes and the life she thought she knew crumbles around her, Emmy has nowhere else to go. So she moves in with Duff—temporarily. Just until she gets back on her feet.

She tells herself she doesn’t need anyone.

He tells himself he’ll settle for being her friend.

Living under the same roof makes it harder to ignore the truth: the man she once misjudged is patient, steady, and everything she didn’t know she needed.

And for Duff, sharing a home with the woman he’s loved for years is equal parts heaven and torture—because for the first time, she’s single… and finally within reach.

Being offered a job in a brand-new city wasn’t something I was planning on.

Neither was meeting him at a random hotel bar that same night.

We shared a drink, flirted, and then one thing led to another.

We exchanged first names, and I escaped the next morning with a quick goodbye.

I never expected to see him again.

I especially never expected him to come face-to-face with him at my brother’s house.

As the new coach of the team.

Zane

I was the youngest coach in the NHL.

I had to focus on one thing and one thing only.

My job.

It’s the only thing I had time for.

Until I came face-to-face with the stranger I thought I would never see again.

She’s off-limits in every sense of the word.

Not just because she’s younger than me.

She’s the sister to my star player.
