Tempting Tristan & Unsportmanlike Conduct

Tempting Tristan

 
 

Don’t ask, don’t tell had many implications in the lives of the soldiers who couldn’t tell.  They had to hide a part of themselves from people they saw as family. That was particularly true for Alex.  Now that he is out from the army, he was ready to let loose and be who he is.  I love that he had a passion that translated to civilian life.  

Tristan had gotten burned on to many times.   I don’t blame him for wanting to take a break from men, but when Alex walked into the bar, he just could not resist even though he tried.  I mean if a guy like Alex pursued me, he could tempt me anytime.

Loved this story.  Had tears in my eyes a few times.  Love is Love.

Fresh off the heels of yet another bad relationship, Tristan Brewer is taking a break from men to try and figure out where he keeps going wrong. He knows his biggest fault—he leads with his heart, not his head—and that’s never going to change. But after several introspective weeks, he’s beginning to get a handle on things. That is, until badass heartthrob Alex Wells walks into his bar… 
Alex has spent eight years in the Army, months in a hospital bed, and far too long hiding his sexual identity. He’s guilt-ridden, damaged, pissed off, and up for a Silver Star—for the incident that nearly cost him his life, and kept him from his grandmother’s funeral. But all he wants to do is forget his stint with the institution that allows but doesn’t necessarily accept, and live the life he’s always dreamed of.
The chemistry between Tristan and Alex ignites from the moment they meet, and the more time they spend together the hotter the flames become. But the closer Tristan gets, the more Alex’s walls go up, and when the two walk onto a military base, Tristan finds out Alex’s physical scars aren’t the ones that run the deepest.

Unsportmanlike Conduct

I love to cruise.  When I was single, i went on one with a girlfriend much like Kristen did.  It was freeing and so much fun.  Kind of like Vegas in a way.  What happens on the cruise stays on the cruise. When an unwanted admirer is near, hockey heartthrob Pasha is there to rescue her.  Luckily she doesn’t recognize him, but before long, he realizes that they have a connection and he really doesn’t want her to know it.  What starts as a friendship, turns into more. I was so upset at him for not telling her.  I could tell the secret would come out.  When it does, I could really feel her hurt.  I love when a story is so well written that it can make me feel what the character is feeling at that moment.  
 This past summer, I was able to meet Sophia during a BBQ.  I can’t tell you how awsome it is to meet an author you really love to read.  Thank you for letting me fangirl for a bit Sophia.

The author of Delayed Penalty returns with the story of a free spirit who believes she’s found forever with a playboy on a singles cruise. Discover why Kelly Jamieson calls the Pilots Hockey series “fun and flirty, warm and sweet.” 

Kristen Katsaros wants a life full of adventure and laughter. After a difficult childhood, her motto is to live each day like it’s her last—because it just might be. So when Kristen’s parents send her on a post-grad singles cruise in the Caribbean to meet a Greek husband, she promptly hooks up with the hottest guy she’s ever met. Pasha’s decidedly not Greek, but Kristen gives him a pass because he’s got fun written all over his rock-hard abs.

Pavel Gribov, the cocky playboy of the Detroit Pilots hockey team, can score any girl he wants. But when a teammate drags him on a singles cruise, he can’t resist the chance to help out a drop-dead gorgeous damsel in distress by pretending to be her boyfriend. Before long, the fake fling turns intimate, fueled by something much deeper than lust.

Kristen and Pasha both agree to walk away once the cruise is over, but reality hits like a slap shot when Kristen finds out Pasha lied about everything. Just when she’s ready to start living again, the two stubborn survivors must decide if they can bear to lose the best thing that ever happened to either of them.
