This included his sister Josie’s best friend, Lila Novak.  Nick and Lila had a torrid affair the last time he dropped into Barefoot Bay, and now that he’s back, possibly for the long haul, he hopes she’ll forgive him for disappearing without a word. Lila loves her life as a teacher at Mimosa High School, but her affair with Nick has thrown her a curveball she never expected. Carrying his baby, she’s faced with the loss of her job unless she agrees to do the last thing she wants to do – marry him.

  • Rush by CA Harms

    Posted on by Karen Comment

    Just finished this book.  The first thing you need to know is DO NOT READ THIS AT WORK.  I did and I had to hide the tears and my eyeliner teardrops.  The beginning reminded me of a certain movie I saw once, but not even that movie had me crying the way this book did.  Kinsley is a woman broken by the man she trusted, but it also gave her a strength she couldn’t see.  I love the fact that Ashton was able to see that strength though.  He is definitely book boyfriend material, as are his brothers, Knox and Beck.  They are the knights in shining armor I know I always dreamed of, only these knights ride in black cars driven by Murray. 

    A fantastic read, and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

     

     

    I was running from my husband, a man I thought I’d known. Running from the hell he had put me through.  He’d nearly destroyed the woman I had once been and I would do whatever it took to regain my freedom. 
    I would lie, and cheat.  I would steal if it meant that I never had to go back there.  I’d run and keep running… 
    But there was one problem. I hadn’t planned for Ashton Montgomery.  He was a distraction I couldn’t allow. Not if I wanted to stay safe. I had to remain distant, but he was relentless and had other ideas. 
    I caved because I hadn’t thought it all through, not in detail.  If I had I would’ve realized that you can only live in a fantasy world for so long before everything came crashing in around you. 
    And those lives you’ve destroyed along the way, make you no better than the monster you were trying to break free from.  How could I have been so careless?  It wasn’t meant to turn out this way.
    But the Rush of my freedom took control and I forgot how important it was to keep the secret of who I had once been.  And now I had nothing.  Only the fear that the man I’d run from would find me again, and finish what he started. 

     
     

     

     
    C.A. Harms is like any other addicted reader. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories. She hasn’t always been a lover of Romance and had once been addicted to a good Mystery. Just recently she has taken on a new liking and now is a full blown Romance novel addict.


    She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. You will always find her with her kindle or paperback in hand as it is her favorite pass time.

  • THE SEASON: Kingston

    Posted on by Karen Comment
    This is Nicole’s first foray into the world of sports romance.  All i have to say is to keep writing them.

    This book was phenomenal.  Loved it.  I really loved that we not only had Kingston and Ellie’s point of views, but also Bianca’s as well.  I mean in a relationship between two people and one has a kid, that person is in a relationship with that kid too.  I loved seeing how everything affected Bianca.  

    I think Rush needs to bring Ellie to Club Destiny, you know, to aid him in getting her kinkier!

     
    Becoming a goaltender in the NHL is the only thing I ever wanted for myself.
     
    Goal accomplished.
     
    Two years ago, I was the best goalie in the league, for the third time. With our Stanley Cup win, the Austin Arrows were on top of the world. Nothing could possibly bring us down.
    Wrong.
     
    Turns out, even when you’re at the top, you can find yourself back at rock bottom. But it gets worse.
     
    Not only did the team fall from grace, then I did too. I was accused of something I didn’t do. And now I’m being forced to repair my tarnished reputation.
     
    Only I don’t know how to do that.
     
    When the suggestion is made for me to pull off this ruse for the media, I know what I’m getting into. I also know there’s only one right answer.
     
    But it’s complicated, and I’m not the only one who could get hurt.
     
    There’s only one major problem….I can’t say no.
     GRAB IT FOR YOUR EREADER HERE:

     

     

     

    Learn more about Phoenix, the owner of Rush’s Austin Arrows in Nicole’s standalone novel A Million Tiny Pieces! 

    “…And watching as we lost six of the seven preseason games gave me a bit of heartburn, as well, but I’m holding out hope for this year. We’re skating well, have solid puck handling, the team looks strong. Much stronger than last year, but we’ve still got a long way to go.

    Admittedly, I couldn’t let go of some of my key players, no matter how much of a disgrace they’ve been to the team. But I’ve got my eye on one of them in particular right now. Kingston Rush, a.k.a. Mount Rushmore.

    Here’s a guy who was the league’s top goalie two years ago, with three Vezina Trophies under his belt. Quite frankly, he’s a beast and a huge asset to this team—when he’s on his game, that is—so I’m hoping a little extra attention might go a long way.

    I have an idea of what got his jock strap in a twist; I simply need to dig deeper to get to the root of it. Something, or rather someone, turned him from the easygoing, mysterious badass to an instigator who started picking fights with everyone.” – Phoenix Pierce, Owner – Austin Arrows
     

    New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nicole Edwards lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, their three kids, and four rambunctious dogs. When she’s not writing about sexy alpha males, Nicole can often be found with her Kindle in hand or making an attempt to keep the dogs happy. You can find her hanging out on Facebook and interacting with her readers – even when she’s supposed to be writing.
     
    Nicole also writes contemporary/new adult romance as Timberlyn Scott.
     
    Nicole would love to hear from you!

  • Tape to Tape by V.L. Locey

    Posted on by Karen 1 Comment

    One thing I love about hockey is that it doesn’t matter if you are black, white, straight, gay or blue with purple poka dots.  In hockey, the only thing that matters is how you skate, shoot, or block.  This book reminds of of that.  I really enjoyed the electricity that was caused by the friction of Theo and Dot in and out of the bedroom.  There is a very fine line between love and hate and sometimes the physical attraction between the two characters would melt the ice.

    Another great installment in the Venom Series.  I am looking forward to see what the next book has in store.  

    Tape to Tape_ebook_SMALLVenom defensive coach Dot “The Shadow” West has made a nice life for herself. She’s found a new position on an up-and-coming women’s professional hockey team, her daughter is thriving, she gets along well with her fellow coaches and her players admire and respect her. She’s proud to have accomplished so much by herself. Everything is running smoothly in her life with no help from anyone, thank you very much.

    Sadly, there’s one annoying glitch in Dot’s new life, and it’s in the form of good-looking Theo Grier, former Wildcat goalie and co-host of a controversial sports talk radio show based in Philadelphia, home of the Venom. When Dot loses her cool and calls in to spar with Theo on the air her structured and solitary existence takes a sudden unexpected turn. Before she can hip check the smug fool out of her life she somehow ends up working with him on a new talk radio sports program.

    Can she defend her heart against the unwanted feelings Theo is stirring up? Or will she continue to guard herself, and her past decisions, against the offensive moves being made by the ex-goalie? The only man to ignite her passions – and ire – in years?
