When team captain, Henry, needs homework help, he turns to Hannah, a plus size tutor looking for extra income.
I loved this friends to lovers, virgin FMC romance full of body positivity and great mental health rep. The chemistry between Hannah and Henry was A-plus and I couldn't get enough of their interactions. Highly recommended for fans of authors like Grace Reilly and especially great on audio! Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and ALC copy in exchange for my honest review!...more

LOVED this dual POV, new Formula 1 racing romance between a pro driver at his sister's wedding and the bridesmaid for hire, Elle (aka Jane) who reluctantly falls for him despite her best efforts not to!!

Jacobs and absolutely perfect for fans of books like The secret bridesmaid by Katy Birchall, Bridesmaid for hire by Meghan Quinn or The paid bridesmaid by Sariah Wilson. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review! I can't wait to read the next book in this series!!...more

Don't miss out on this one!!

I could definitely tell that this reissued edition with a new cover was still the authors' earlier work. It just didn't have the same emotional depth that I've come to love and expect from them both. Good on audio but just an okay read for me. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary digital copy in exchange for my honest review. ...more
This was a satisfying and SUPER spicy conclusion to the Beyond the Play college sports romance series featuring the Callaghan siblings - each of whom This was a satisfying and SUPER spicy conclusion to the Beyond the Play college sports romance series featuring the Callaghan siblings - each of whom specializes in a different sport. I really liked that this book focused on Isabel who plays college Volleyball and her forbidden romance with her brother's Russian hockey star rival, Nik.
Full of emotional depth, great mental health rep (Nik has a physically abusive father and suffers from panic attacks) and, again a TON of open door heat, this book was great on audio (I must applaud narrator Oscar Reyes and his excellent Russian accent!). Nik might have been the product of a troubled childhood and had a toxic relationship with his father, but he sure knew how to treat a lady right!!
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review. This book is PERFECT for fans of authors like Elle Kennedy and HIGHLY recommended for those who love spicy sports romance, the likes of which only Tessa Bailey can compare.
I am so so so late to the Becka Mack fan club but I'm so glad I finally picked up a book in her Playing for Keeps Vancouver Hockey sports romance seriI am so so so late to the Becka Mack fan club but I'm so glad I finally picked up a book in her Playing for Keeps Vancouver Hockey sports romance series. While this one is the fourth in the series, I think it can be read as a standalone. That said there are definitely cameos from past characters and you'll probably want to read them all at some point to fully immerse yourself in this world.
Perfect for fans of authors like Liz Tomforde, Stephanie Archer or Elle Kennedy, this was a FANTASTICALLY STEAMY runaway bride, one night stand, dual POV, roommate romance! I ADORED Jaxon and his cat daddy, TOP BOOK BOYFRIEND qualities. He was a giant marshmallow with so many insecurities about his own self worth that I just wanted to give him a giant hug!
The way Jaxon worships biracial sports photographer Lennon like no one ever has before was amazing. Their chemistry was off the charts and the scenes where he does her hair, brings her star gazing, and just overall takes care of her when she's not feeling great or PMSing was AMAZING!! Everyone wants a guy like Jaxon, TRUST ME!!
This was also great on audio read by Alex Kydd and Jae Delane (two narrators I wasn't very familiar with but was very impressed by). Now excuse me while I go binge read the other books in this series and fall even harder in love with the men of the Vancouver Vipers hockey team!! Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!
Steam level: VERY SPICY, multiple graphic open door scenes...more

I absolutely devoured this dual POV, sports romance with BDSM content. It was heartfelt, SPICEY AF and VERY much my vibe. Fans of 50 shades of gray will appreciate the BDSM content, although this was much better written overall.
I truly enjoyed this soooo much, especially as an audiobook narrated by Stephen Drexter and Andi Ardnt. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy!! I can't wait to read (or listen) to what this talented indie romance author writes next!!!!...more

This is the sports romance to end all sports romances for all the Taylor and Travis fans out there. Loosely based off a Taylor Swift style megastar, Lacey Logan finds herself falling for a soon to retire baseball player a few years older than her and completely out of her league. This opposites attract, dual POV romance was swoony and oh so fun! I devoured it just a couple sittings and couldn't have enjoyed it more!

Hayden and Brody had amazing chemistry and I loved that she was only looking for a no strings fling and he was the one who wanted more. Full of emotional depth and a side plot involving her alcoholic team owner father accused of embezzling money, this book was both SPICY and heartfelt. It was also great on audio narrated by Samantha Cook. Many thanks to Harlequin for sending me a beautiful finished copy in exchange for my honest review!...more

This was another fun sports romance from Pippa Grant that was great on audio narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke. I don't read many Rugby stories but this was highly entertaining. Would recommend for lighthearted fun and a cute dachshund sidekick!...more

Highly recommend the Dirty Air books for fans of Formula 1 racing and this final story about Santiago, a former star driver who lost his lower leg in an accident and the way he falls for Chloe, a lonely NYC girl looking for her bio Dad in Italy.
This book was full of emotional depth, GREAT disability rep, and was an utterly heartwarming fake dating, forced proximity, dual POV, second chance sports romance! A heads up that there is a toxic parental relationship between Chloe and her drug-addicted, emotionally abusive mother.
Great on audio narrated by Vanessa Vasquez and Noah B. Perez and perfect for fans of Hannah Bonam-Young and books like Elsie Silver's A photo finish and Karina Halle's One hot Italian summer. Don't miss this big-hearted love story about acceptance, love and finding the person who feels like home....more
