I live by one simple rule: my daughter and baseball are all that matter. Until I get traded to the same team my unforgettable vacation fling works for.

I wanted Willow Lawson from the first second I saw her, and once we gave in to temptation on the sunny beaches of Hawaii, I knew I’d never forget her.

But our fling was meant to be just that. A hot vacation hookup and nothing more. After all, she’s got a rule too:

Never date a baseball player.

When my agent lands me the deal of a lifetime with the Vancouver Tridents, it seems like the perfect move.

Until Willow walks into the conference room on my first day, and I realize maybe this time, our rules were meant to be broken.

Teagan 

Fed up with living in the shadows of my famous hockey-playing father and brothers, I decide to take matters into my own hands.

There’s only one thing standing in my way. Actually make that three things standing in my way. Coulter Collins, Fin Baxter, and Royal Reynolds, the three senior captains of the men’s hockey team. Their job as team captains is to select the two new team members. I need to make sure I’m focusing on tryouts and not the three sexy men watching my every move on and off the ice. 

Armed with my lucky hockey stick and full-length, mirrored visor, I take the ice to prove I’m just as good as any male hockey player because I have a secret weapon:

I Puck Like a Girl.

Cleo White You're It (A Forbidden, Dad's Best Friend, Laser Tag Romance)

 

I am a walking, talking disaster.

Sometimes it feels like every step I take leads to a mistake that is painful or embarrassing, or painful and embarrassing, and it's pretty remarkable that natural selection hasn't taken me out yet.

The point is, I have a lot of experience in cleaning up my own messes. Even with all that practice, though, inheriting my dad's failing laser tag business might be a little much.

Saving Galactic Guild Arena won't be easy. Especially when my new business partner is my dad's best friend/famous author/grouchy recluse/my former crush.

Darwin Wilder knows better than anyone what a mess I am. The man hates me, and for good reason. I need to remember that, because in a life full of missteps, falling for my dad's best friend is one mistake I know I'll never recover from.

My Review, Thoughts, & No Spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by ME!!

Erin FitzGerald Something Gained: Book Three, Wolf Mountain Ranchers Book 3 of 3: Wolf Mountain Ranchers

 

Seven years ago a stranger stole my future. My hopes, plans and dreams have been put aside in favor of basic survival, a skill I’ve honed at great personal cost.

The handsome cowboy who finds me walking home one day and takes it upon himself to be my transporter, the bringer of food and gifts, has demons of his own. Jacob says he understands struggle and suffering and expects no repayment, but in my experience everyone seeks their due.

When it becomes clear to Jacob that my son and I are in danger, he shelters us, giving me time and space to adjust, something he understands due to a past he won’t talk about.

I’ve been running from a ghost for seven years, hiding until I thought the storm had blown over. But returning home was my biggest mistake, because the past is only two steps behind.

I don’t expect Jacob to save me, and I’m beginning to realize he needs more than I can give. After a lifetime of feeling like I’m not enough, the thought of not being enough for him scares me more than the evil that hunts me.

My Review, Thoughts, & NO Spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by ME!

These characters and what they went though, you could feel it in the way that Author wrote this story. You could feel what they were feeling, going though, the good, bad, happy & sad. To me, that is what this story. These characters were ones that will hold a special place in my mind & heart for quite sometime. Phenomenal characters, & story. I personally cannot wait to see what that Author writes next. This one is in the running for another one of my favorite reads in 2024.

I never should have gone after Audrena James but after one night, I knew I’d be coming back for more.

It wasn’t enough.
It never would be.
I’m going to keep Audrena no matter the consequences.

Nicole Baker The Last Time (Isle of Hope Book 1) (Isle of Hope Series) Book 1 of 2: Isle of Hope Series

 

Call my high school crush to repair my childhood vacation home? Yes, please.

Although, I haven't seen him in almost a decade. He's probably married, bald, and sporting a beer belly.

Spoiler alert: He's not bald!

He's somehow even more alluring now than he was when I was seventeen. Only now, he's a mean/grumpy mess of a man with a three old daughter that he's struggling to take care of on his own.

Even with his grunts and sharp words, I'm still powerless to stop myself from crushing on him all over again.

When I learn about the tragedy in his life, I even start to sympathize with him.

As the summer progresses, we start to get to know each other. I see some of the man I used to know come back.

Things heat up between us. We can no longer deny what has developed.

Then I discover his big secret. The one that's been tearing him up on the inside, keeping him from moving on and finding peace with his past.

That was when everything took a turn, and I'm not sure if we'll ever recover.

My Review, thoughts, & no spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me!!!!!

These two characters had plenty of chemistry & I enjoyed reading about their relationship. This story will stay with this reader for awhile along with the characters. I enjoyed this one.
