PLAY TO WIN (WYNN HOCKEY) BY KELLY JAMIESON
Release Date: March 19, 2019
SYNOPSIS
Meet the Wynns—a hockey dynasty built on family, money, and drama. From USA Today bestselling author Kelly Jamieson, the first novel in a new series is a total win-win.
“Kelly Jamieson is an auto-buy for me.”—Carly Phillips
After an injury forced Théo Wynn to give up professional hockey, he turned to his second love: numbers. Now, as the general manager of his grandfather’s NHL team, the Los Angeles Condors, Théo is dying to prove to the rest of his family—especially the brother who betrayed him—that he’s just as successful as the rest of them. If only Théo had a gorgeous woman on his arm to complete the picture. . . .
Lacey Olson needs to get out of Las Vegas right now, thanks to her no-good, crooked brother. When a handsome stranger who’s out partying with friends comes to her rescue in the cocktail lounge where she works, they strike up a conversation that leads to a crazy plan: her leaving with Théo for L.A. tomorrow. A few drinks later, the idea gets even crazier: a quickie marriage that works for both of them.
But back in California, Lacey immediately turns Théo’s precise, well-ordered life into one big beach party. And before long, she’s tempting him with her smart mouth, sexy body, and sunny charm. The last thing Théo needs is a real relationship to distract him. Because he only plays to win. . . .

REVIEW: PLAY TO WIN (WYNN HOCKEY) BY KELLY JAMIESON
Play to Win by Kelly Jamieson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Play to Win is no cookie cutter romance. Lacey and Theo do have to tackle a few stereotypical fairytale aspects, but Jamieson packs in a bit of modern attitude to balance out some of the old. For instance, Theo has a knack for rescuing a damsel in distress, but he's no White Knight. Prince Charming wears glasses, loves numbers and is not afraid to show off his sensitive side. When Lacey finds herself in a bind, she refuses to be a victim and she finds her warrior in the most surprising of places. Play to Win fights it's way through the fantasy of who can be a hero and gives it a realistic shine.

WITH A HITCH BY RC BOLDT
Release Date: March 19, 2019
SYNOPSIS
RC Boldt brings us this smart, sexy new standalone about a matchmaker/dating coach who's faced with the challenge of finding Mrs. Right for the city's beloved NFL wide receiver...
———————————————————
She’s playing it safe. He’s playing for keeps.
DARCY
Growing up in the foster system, I learned the hard way that lasting love doesn't always come easy. Dating in the modern era can be daunting; the bar scene and dating apps leave you wondering if there's any hope in sight.
That's where I come in. Helping you break the “swipe-right” cycle, I’m dedicated to matching you with the love of your life.
Finding Mrs. Right for Dax Kendrick should be a piece of cake. Except nothing about this man is simple.
DAX
The NFL has given me more than I ever imagined—a roof over my head, food on the table, and a chance to provide for the family who sacrificed everything while I chased my dreams.
Maintaining a squeaky-clean image for my sponsors when my paycheck and the fruits of my endorsements are all women want is a hefty challenge.
I’d nearly given up when I hired Darcy Cole. Yet the more I’m around her, the less I care about finding my perfect match.
Because it might be right in front of me.

REVIEW: WITH A HITCH BY RC BOLDT
With a Hitch by R.C. Boldt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ditched got my attention. With a Hitch captured my heart. I fell hard for Ivy and Becket and knew that I had to have more. Darcy and Dax are a continuation of my love affair with the amazingly talented RC Boldt. With a Hitch has everything from friendships to family and sex appeal. Darcy, Ivy, Dax and Becket are a new kind of family. Their proof that family is not always made by the blood shared, but by the bond love builds. History, life and emotion are at the heart of this family. I love that. When it comes to love, life has not always been kind to this group, so it's nice to know someone has your back. Becket and Ivy found their happy ending. Will Darcy and Dax be next in line?

RISKY PLAY (RED CARD) BY RACHEL VAN DYKEN
Release Date: March 19, 2019
SYNOPSIS
Even one-night stands deserve a second chance in New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken’s novel of sporting desire.
What else can a virgin do when she’s ditched at the altar? Seattle heiress Mackenzie Dupont is treating herself to a single-girl honeymoon in Mexico and a desire to relinquish her innocence to a gorgeous one-night stand. Fake names. True pleasure. But when she wakes up alone, Mackenzie realizes just how much anger is left in her broken heart.
Suffering a tragic personal loss, pro soccer player Slade Rodriguez has his reasons for vanishing without a goodbye. Right or wrong, he’s blaming the beautiful and infuriating stranger he never wants to see again. They’re both in for a shock when Mackenzie shows up as his new personal assistant. And they both have a lot to learn about each other. Because they share more than they could possibly know, including a common enemy who’s playing his own games. And he’s not afraid to get dirty.
Now there’s only one way Mackenzie and Slade can win: to trust in each other and to stop hiding from the lies they’ve told, the secrets they’ve kept, the mistakes they’ve made, and the attraction that still burns between them.

REVIEW: RISKY PLAY (RED CARD) BY RACHEL VAN DYKEN
Risky Play by Rachel Van Dyken
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rachel Van Dyken is one of my favorite authors to read. From start to finish, my heart belongs to the characters she creates and the dramas they face. Risky Play is no exception. Slade, I admit is a little hard to love, but who really ever is when they're nursing a broken heart. Mackenzie is the type of heroine, I root for. She's finding her footing after numerous upheavals in her personal life. There were times I just wanted to hug her and assure her that life would get better. There were many moments were Slade needed a good throttling, but a good author, doesn't make it easy to get to the happy ending. Once you get there, a good author makes you glad you stayed. I was glad I stayed.

THE HOOKUP HANDBOOK BY KENDALL RYAN
Release Date: March 19, 2019
SYNOPSIS
My love wand is on a strike.
As bad as that blows, pun unintended, it’s ten times worse for me. I’m a male escort, but not just any escort, I’m the escort. The one with a mile-long waiting list and a pristine reputation that’s very well-deserved.
Only now, I’m on hiatus. Because after years of pleasing women all over the city, my man missile decides to get finicky. And the only woman he wants? Someone I can never have—my best friend’s younger sister, the nerdy and awkwardly adorable Sienna.
She’s working at the agency this summer, keeping me organized, handling paperwork, and most importantly, keeping me on track to finish writing my book about sex and intimacy, which is due to my publisher in thirty days.
She thinks I hate her, that I don’t want her here. The truth is much more twisted. I get hard every time she walks into my office. Her wide blue eyes and pouty mouth drive me wild with desire, and if she stays, I’m not sure how much longer I can stay away from her.
Little Miss Overachiever says she’s here to help? Fine. I’m going to put her nerdy, curvy tush to work.

The Hookup Handbook by Kendall Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Shock value has nothing on Kendall Ryan. The Hookup Handbook is a giant riot. I laughed so hard I cried. Only a Ryan character can get away with vocalizing the words we all want to say, but dare to keep to ourselves. Case and Sienna light up every scene they share. From sassy to brassy and with a hint of nasty, Ryan reminds us how much fun it is to be bad. 5 + Stars.

Advice from a Jilted Bride by Piper Rayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Is there a happily ever after in the cards for a heartbroken, cynical, jilted bride? It's always a joy to read a Piper Rayne original. With humor, heart and that sassy wit, we all know and love, this duo is able to heat up bookshelves and e-readers everywhere. Advice From a Jilted Bride could be described as the anti - romance, except that wouldn't be the Piper Rayne way. Brooklyn and Wyatt remind us that cynicism is only a happy ending away. Love is always sweeter the second time around.

SAVING THE SEAL BABY DADDY BY KATIE KNIGHT, LESLIE NORTH
Release Date: March 22, 2019
SYNOPSIS
When Maria Blanchard asked Navy Seal Trevor Daniels to father a child with her, no strings attached, Trevor had no idea just how explosive his chemistry would be with the fiery woman who had been a wallflower during their high school years. He vowed never to contact her again after the positive pregnancy test. A year later, when one of Trevor’s dark ops missions ends with the death of his captain and suspicions aimed at him, Maria’s the only investigator he knows who can help him crack the case.
Maria Blanchard had been raised to be a proper Southern Belle, an archetype so wrong for her she’d retreated into books during her high school years. When the police academy finally gave her the guts to be the strong woman she’d always desired, she realized she didn’t need anyone to achieve her dreams. Not to get her dream job, and certainly not to get her dream baby. Still, when her childhood crush agreed to father her baby, she hadn’t expected her heart to open along with her legs.
When Trevor shows up on Maria’s doorstep in need of her help, he calls in his favor. However, being wanted for a military crime means that Maria won’t just be helping Trevor, she’ll be harboring a fugitive, and the father of her child. Unable to say no, when her pride and her heart are screaming yes, Maria agrees to help Trevor one final time before they break ties.
But as their bond grows stronger and love ignites, it becomes a rush to save Trevor’s life before they lose out on a future they could only dream of.

Saving the Seal Baby Daddy by Leslie North
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Knight gives action free rein. Saving the Seal Baby Daddy packs some big emotions in a small package. Maria and Trevor make more than memories, when they find themselves embedded in a mystery that could have deadly repercussions. From friends to lovers to partners in crime this dynamic duo are in for the ride of their lives. Nothing says lovin' like a little danger between co- parents. Steam has nothing on intrigue in this fast paced thrilling romance.
