Jennifer J Williams Get Pucked: Pucker Up Part of: Pucker Up (7 books)

 

 Moving to a new city is exciting, but I'm freaked about following my brother to Colorado where I have no apartment, no job, and no friends. So I decide to let off some steam on my first night here, and end up inviting a very attractive man back to my hotel room for some no-strings fun. But when he's nowhere to be found when I wake up, I chalk it up to a typical experience with guys.


So imagine my surprise when the hot guy from my first night is my brother's teammate on the Denver Wolves NHL team, and he needs me to be his new nanny! Gabe Dawson just found out he's a dad to the cutest little baby I've ever seen, and the team is about to go on a long road trip. Gabe needs me to move into his house and care for his daughter. He assures me we'll have a strictly professional relationship. Things quickly become tense as we both fight our attraction. But what if I'm the one who needs more? And what happens when he no longer needs me?

Julia Jarrett Fake The Game (Vancouver Tridents) Book 2 of 3: Vancouver Tridents

 

 I’m the bad boy of baseball. And she’s the good girl who’s meant to repair my image. Falling in love with my pretend girlfriend is not part of the plan…

My life is a mess. My career is in serious jeopardy because of one stupid decision that had disastrous results. I’m stuck on the injured list, for who knows how long, and losing endorsements because of my reckless behaviour.

It’s only a matter of time before my team decides I’m too much trouble to keep around

The last thing I should be doing is swooping in to rescue a perfect stranger from some jerk at a bar - because of course a photo gets taken of her in my arms.

Now the last shot I have at holding onto everything that matters, is a curvy redhead who has no idea who I am and isn’t all that impressed by the mess I’ve thrown her into.

For some reason Sadie agrees to help me, and now I’m forced to spend time with a woman who might be the only person to see the real me. A lot of time. Even more so when she moves into my apartment.

With every fake date we go on, her warmth and smiles start to chip away at the ice around my heart. But what can I offer a woman like her? I’m nothing but a reckless asshole and a cocky baseball player with a past I’d rather no one knew about. I don’t let people get close to me, I don’t do relationships.

But when our arrangement comes to an end, I can’t bring myself to walk away.

How can I convince my fake girlfriend to give me a real chance when the secrets from my past won’t stay hidden?

Jenn Plummer Unravel Me (Aspen Ridge Series) Book 1 of 3: Aspen Ridge Series

 

 Sawyer

I was ruined for anyone else from the moment Ivy walked into my life. Six years of loving each

other and then she was gone, taking my heart with her. It’s been ten years since she left and no

amount of time apart could change the way I feel about her. The control she still has over me is a

constant reminder of the hollow space she left in my chest when she ran away.


Now she’s back, her life in tatters and hiding from her possessive ex-boyfriend. She’s hurting,

and I’ll do anything to take the pain away. Even if that means I have to let her go again.


I want Ivy back in my life, but I don’t know if she feels the same. Regardless, I will do anything

to prove we belong together.


But I can’t help but wonder, will she run again?


Ivy

I’ve been surviving in a life that I was manipulated into living. A life I never wanted for myself.

Now I’m unemployed, homeless, and lost.


As everything crumbles around me, I’m forced to run back to the last place I truly felt safe.

Aspen Ridge.


For ten years, I never looked back. Until now.


I planned to stay under the radar, but everything falls apart when the only man I’ve ever loved

finds me, reminding me how it feels to be loved, wanted, and protected.


For the first time in a decade, hope for my future fills me.

But I can’t help but wonder, can I really just stay and pick up where we left off?

Tory Baker His to Claim (The Rowdy Johnson Brothers) Book 4 of 5: The Rowdy Johnson Brothers

 

JW Johnson thought he was doing the right thing, keeping to himself and away from the pretty little baker in town. 


She’s younger, a hell of a lot more innocent for the likes of him. He should leave her alone and keep his distance like he has been all along. She’s too good and too pure. Try telling that to the hunger he’s got buried deep inside of him.


Everything changes when someone starts messing with Maeve and her livelihood, Whisked Away. He’s stepping in, taking care of Maeve, and claiming what’s his. Forever.


This over-the-top, protective cowboy is ready to have his woman any way he can. Especially on her knees, calling him daddy and loving her with everything he’s got.

Kassie Vander Savage For You

 

 Montana:

What’s worse than getting your heart broken by the guy you have been with for four years? Your supposed best friend is the one who hurt you too. So what do I do? I promise myself to never get hurt again. I promise myself to have a hot single girl summer but do you think I get my wish? No. Because the hot shot school quarterback has his sights set on me and I don’t think I can stay away from those smoldering gray eyes any longer especially when he is the one making my bucket list come true. Rocky wants my heart but I don’t know if I’m ready to put my heart on the line. Guess what though? Jokes on me, because he already decided that I’m his. Can I trust he won’t break my heart or will I end up heart broken again.


Rocky:

I’ve always wanted what my parents had. A love that’s all yours. Everyone has only seen me as a ticket. Montana hits me like a hurricane with her feisty attitude, voice of an angel and curves they make a man want to sin. She’s been hurt before, she doesn’t know if she can trust me. There are people who don’t want us to be together but I know what I want, and what I want is her. She doesn’t care that I play football. She acts like she doesn’t want me at all. I’ll prove to her that we can have it all. I’ll protect her at all costs. I’ll prove to her that she can trust again. She thinks she’s better off alone. I play to win and her heart is something I plan to keep.

Wynter Ryan Puck Me Baby One More Time: A Why Choose Hockey Romance (Playing the Puck) Book 2 of 9: Playing the Puck

 

Britt

Being wild and crazy isn’t in my DNA. I’m the quiet best friend. The one who gets straight A’s and hides behind her glasses. But after a breakup with my long-time boyfriend, I need to feed my wild side.

Having a birthday on the same day as Halloween has always felt like a curse until I decide to embrace the magic of the holiday and dress like Brittney Spears for my best friend’s family Halloween party. I’m dressed in a schoolgirl uniform, complete with a blonde pigtail wig and foregoing my glasses for my contacts to hide behind the eye mask to keep my identity a secret, and ready for the night of my life.

I have one mission, and that is to seduce my crush. The problem is I don’t have a crush on just one guy; I have a crush on three guys: my best friend’s triplet brothers, Torin, Talen, and Tarek. All three are professional hockey players who can have any woman they want, but tonight, I want them to want me, and I’ll do anything to make that happen.

I was wrong to think being with them once would be enough to get them out of my mind. Instead, I have to stop myself from begging them to Puck me baby one more time.

Torin, Talen, Tarek

We knew it was Britt hiding behind the mask and wearing the Brittney Spears costume that fateful night, but we decided to play along when she refused to give us her name in that adorable fake British accent that fooled no one. Each one of us gave in to the temptation we swore to stay away from. A brotherly pact we decided on long ago. But when she approached each of us individually, all bets were off.

Once we found out we had each been with our dream girl on the same night, we should have been horrified, but instead, it felt right. Being identical triplets, we have shared everything from the moment we were conceived. Why not Britt? And why not all of us at the same time?

Stepping back and giving her time to come to us was the hardest thing we’ve ever done. Waiting almost two years to make her ours again has been almost impossible. But no other woman will do now that we’ve had a taste of our Britt.

So, when the opportunity arises to be her new roommates, we jump at the chance, hoping to make her moan, oh, baby, baby, baby, one more time.


My Review, Thoughts, & No Spoilers. 


I really enjoyed this next book in the series. It definitely held my interest and was a very good read. I like the authors way of writing and this one did not disappoint at all. Brit, Torin, Talen, and Tarek, I just really reading about them. Really enjoying the series.

 I am not a good man.

My nine to five is spent with a blade in my hand. I hunt, intimidate, collect debts for my uncle’s Brotherhood, the Hooligans. I believe in consequences, an effect for the cause. Fate is folklore and love? An illusion.

Until I met her. Little Red.

Some call me Reaper, the Angel of Death. She calls me her wolf.

Now, protecting her is my new obsession. Because if she doesn’t belong with me, then I don’t belong anywhere.

Good thing she didn’t listen.

Emberlynn Raine From me to you: A Lovers to Enemies, Rockstar New Adult Romance (Evy & Jay Book 1)

 

 An angsty emotionally charged romance with a jaw-dropping ending.


THE MAN I LOVE HATES ME

I was once his everything until I wasn’t… But little did he know, he would always be my everything…

Evy: I was sixteen when I moved to a new town called Bellevue. A fresh start. A new beginning.
Emerson Jayden Jameson was the most gorgeous boy that I had ever seen in my entire life. He took my breath away with his signature black leather jacket, glossy raven locks, and bright blue eyes. But it was his heart that stole mine.
Jay has lived in Bellevue his whole life and dreamed of becoming a rock star. Mine was to become a writer and study at Yale.
I didn’t plan for him. And he most definitely didn’t plan for me. We blindsided each other and got entangled in the most passionate love affair that took me to places I had never dreamed of going. And I wanted to stay there in his arms forever and ever.
But everything changed when he moved to L.A. to chase his dreams. That was when life asked me to prove my love for him in the worst possible way. To make a decision that would alter the course of our lives, for better or for worse. And I had no choice but to make it— in its wake, I ruined us.
And now the only person I loved in the whole wide world hated me.
My life went downhill from that point while he lived the dream life he had always wanted. I am twenty-six now and I have truly hit rock bottom. Jay now only lived in my thoughts, forever haunting my sleepless nights. Or so I thought.

My name is Evelyn May. I met Jay when I was sixteen, naïve and young. He pulled me into his magnetic field, and he held me captive, forever. I got lost in those blue-blue eyes as I fell and I fell hard in the most magical way. And soon he became my everything, my love, my heart, my whole wide world, my Jay. And this is our story.

From Me to You is the first book of the Evy & Jay series. It is a lovers-enemies, rockstar, fated-soulmate new adult romance with explicit scenes recommended for +18 years or above. No cheating or SA. This is not a standalone book. It ends in a cliffhanger. HEA toward the end of the series.


My Review, Thoughts, & No Spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me. 


What a wonderful story by the author. I enjoyed reading about Jay & Evy. This book had you, the reader on a roller skating rink of emotions. This one definitely will stay with this reader for awhile. Looking forward to her next book.
