Look, I couldn’t care less about baseball, and let’s be honest, when it got to the point where it turned out that one main character literally punched the other’s teeth out? I normally would’ve DNF’d the book so quickly! But I trust E.M. Lindsey so I kept going. I’m glad I did, as the wayRead the Post
Review: In the Penalty Box – Lynn Rush & Kelly Anne Blount
Content warnings: After being injured, Willow’s back home from her Olympic training program to finish her rehab as quickly as possible, even if that means sometimes sharing ice with the local high school hockey puckheads. When a goalie injury – and a stray puck – bring her to the hockey team captain’s attention, Willow suddenlyRead the Post
Ho-Ho-Holiday Mini-Reviews
I’ve been reading a ton of holiday novellas for the JingleBooks bingo, and while I don’t feel like doing full reviews for each of them, I figured a few small reviews would be helpful for anyone looking for some post-Christmas reading – or for me next year! So here’s seven quick reviews! As a sidenote,Read the Post
Review: Off the Ice – Avon Gale & Piper Vaughn
I’m a hockey fan, so of course I jumped on the chance to review this reissued m/m hockey romance. This is billed as a “hot for teacher” romance, but that’s not quite the whole story. “As you know, it’s a subject near to my own academic interests, but it might be a little off fromRead the Post
Review: A Season to Celebrate anthology
Look, I’m going to be 100% honest with you. I completely picked this up for Priscilla Oliveras’ story, because all the other authors are completely new to me. Also, while the cover is cute, it’s usually indicative of the kind of romance I don’t particularly enjoy, so I had pretty low expectations going in. Luckily,Read the Post
Review: Game Changer – Rachel Reid
Goodness, this book is simply adorable! From the meet-cute to the grand finale, everything is delightfully fluffy and low angst, and it stars a hot hockey player. Sold! Kip is biding his time working at a smoothie shop while trying to figure out what to do with his life. He’s graduated from college with aRead the Post
Review: Intercepted – Alexa Martin
Trigger warnings: gas lighting, racism I’m probably the last person you’d want reviewing a football romance, since my knowledge of the sport is pretty much zip, despite (perhaps because of) sitting through a relative’s endless high school football games as a kid. However, the cover was just so gorgeous that I couldn’t resist, and I’mRead the Post
Review: Love You – Stacy Finz
This is the third – and last – book in the Garner Brothers series, and I was looking forward to finishing out the series. There was a pretty large chunk about this book’s hero, Win, in the second Garner Brothers book, Want You, that mostly dealt with his relationship with Brittany. I was annoyed byRead the Post
Review: Playing Dirty – Amy Andrews
Trigger warnings: I’ve been following Ms. Andrews’ Sydney Smoke series since the second book, and I’ve been waiting for the resolution of the troubled relationship between Griff, the rugby team’s gruff and unemotional coach, and his daughter, Val. So, yes, while this is also the story of Val’s HEA with new-to-the-team Kyle, a pretty largeRead the Post
Review: Guarding His Heart – Synithia Williams
I absolutely adore the cover (THAT SKIRT!) but I think it vastly under-represents how steamy this book is. This is the third book in a series about Jacksonville Gators players, but the first I’ve read, and I thought it worked perfectly as a standalone. “I’m a decent dude with an uncertain future, a body breakingRead the Post
