Why you will love this book… 🔥Contemporary/Suspense 🔥Grumpy/Sunshine 🔥Single Dad 🔥Workplace Romance 🔥Protector Hero
My boss is a tough, grumpy bounty hunter—and a hot single dad—and now he’s sworn to keep me safe, whether I like it or not.
My name’s Macy, and I always look on the bright side of things. Life’s too short not to. Super grump extraordinaire Colton Fury is the total opposite. Luckily for him, along with the muscled bod, tattoos, and rugged face, it works for him.
When I start getting creepy calls at the office and someone breaks into my house, it becomes clear I’m a target, and Colt sort of…loses his mind. He turns even bossier and more protective.
Now I’m living with him and his super cute daughter, and trying very hard to remember that I can’t let myself fall for him.
Before long, there’s kissing, touching, and a whole lot more. Colt tells me—okay, more like growls at me—that he doesn’t do relationships. And I promise him no strings or complications.
Every day that passes, the complications are growing and I’m starting to realize I want them. All of them.
But soon, it’s not only me in danger, and it’s not only Colt who’ll risk it all to save the people he loves.
The Fury Brothers: fierce, loyal, and live by their own code
Five men who grew up in foster care and became brothers by choice. They vow to always have each other’s back: no questions, no doubts, no hesitation. They protect their own…always.

My brother’s teammates know not to touch me—but that doesn’t stop me from daring Jaxson Brittain to be the first to break the rule.
After one steamy night in Austin, I’m all too aware of the hot, broody defenseman with icy blue eyes and ink sprawling his muscular arms. He was the one my brother assigned to keep me safe—and I had far too much fun tempting him to be the one to put me in danger.
It was just one night of tip-toeing the line, of teasing and flirting and messing around knowing nothing would ever come of it.
But when the universe throws me back into his lap two weeks later and we end up on a secret road trip together, all bets are off.
I can’t help but touch him. I can’t help but pray for him to touch me. And I can’t resist the temptation to test him at every turn.
Jaxson is smart and doesn’t have a death wish. So, like a gentleman, he keeps his hands to himself… the jerk.
But the closer we get on the road and the farther we get from reality, the less those warning signs from my brother seem to deter him.
When we started this road trip, we set a boundary. We promised to keep all arms and legs safely in the friend zone.
Now, miles and miles away from all the reasons we shouldn’t, all I can hear is my heart thumping out the resounding reason we should.
And the way those heated blue eyes watch me, I know I’m not the only one.

Summer
I know better than to fall for Gabriel Carter, notorious NHL playboy. Not only has he broken innumerable hearts during his 7 years in LA, he’s my boss–even if he does have a smile that leaves me weak in the knees, a body built for sin, and enough charm to melt my sundress clean off.
So what if I swoon a little over the way he sings Everly to sleep every night he’s not on the road? So what if he’s deliciously protective and alpha-male over me whenever the paparazzi get too close? It doesn’t mean anything… or does it?
I try to tell myself it’s just a job, but between the stolen kisses and blurry lines, playing house with him is starting to feel a little too real.
Gabe
Summer Crawford loves nothing more than putting me in my place. She’s five feet, five inches of sweet southern sass– and temptation sleeping in the bedroom next to mine.
When all the rules go out the window one night, everything changes. After knowing how explosive our chemistry is together, there’s no way I can go back to pretending we’re just friends.
There’s one small catch: Summer is my employee. My daughter Everly’s nanny. Ev needs her, which means she’s completely off-limits. Or at least, she should be… but I’ve never been good at following the rules.
Turns out, I need Summer too. Now I’m playing for keeps–and I always win.

This is a new book in this series and you know I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. We see some of the pull between these two in the Kingsmen series and it only excited me for this new series. Miles is a rule follower and trying to get in the groove with a new city and new team. Bryce is in a new city trying to make her way in the journalism world and it happens to be the same city as her “nemesis”. It’s a big city so they will probably never run into each other right? They both have the same friend group and sparks fly. Miles is funny and sexy and Bryce is strong independent (has some relationship issues) but I love seeing the challenge between these two! Will they be able to find a HEA? The cover is fire and I always surprised and content once I read a Piper Rayne book. They are really good at world building and I always want to be apart of the friend groups in these books. Another great start to the series and the end will leave you salivating for book 2!

Lake Chapel was supposed to be my fresh start: an opportunity to reinvent myself; my chance to finally live.
Now I’m grappling with the demons of my past… and losing.
To survive this setback, I’ll need the support of the four possessive, domineering men who think I belong to them. But can my captors really be my salvation?
Worlds are bound to collide. Friendships will be tested, and rivalries are revving up.
I can’t slip back into the dark—not now that I know what it’s like to live in the light.
For the first time in my life, it’s more than just me I’m fighting for.
It’s them.
Kylian. Locke. Decker. Even Kendrick.
It’s all of them, and all of us together.
My name is Josephine Meyer. But that hasn’t always been my name. What will the boys of Lake Chapel think when they finally learn the truth?
New series and the title Park Avenue Princes is of course every bit of rich boys that have the city as their playgrounds and their parents that will be there safety net. In this book we meet West and his friends and at first meet my eyes were rolling listening to them. JT is the dean son and every bit of shy and opposite of West. After a bet it’s on to corrupt the deans son and get revenge on the Dean. All plans are never as they seem.
It took me a minute to like West but when he is with JT I feel like you see a different side. I am interested to see how the other books go just because the other Princes were jerky and not sure they can settle. All in all it was a sexy read. West is caliente when it comes to the sexy times.

EXCERPT:
“What was your news?” I say, wiping away the remainder of the tears.
“I can tell you later,” he answers, sheepishly sliding his hands into the pockets of his jeans.
“Just tell me now. I need a distraction,” I say, letting out a small laugh.
Blake doesn’t laugh with me, though, he just stands there and gives me a nod, like he is contemplating how to say what he is going to say.
“Just rip the band aid off, Jacobi.” I push, just wanting to hear his news already.
“Fine. I signed with the Chicago Dark Knights this morning.”
It takes me a second to digest the news.
“You did what?” I ask, feeling a smile spread across my face.
“I signed my first official NHL contract this morning. I’m heading to Chicago.”
Not being able to help my excitement, I jump up and down until I eventually throw my body at him.
He’s been waiting for this moment since he got drafted. We’ve been talking about the possibility of him signing early since we arrived at Montana State and now it’s actually happening.
“That’s awesome! I’m so excited for you!” I say to him, placing a kiss on his cheek.
“Thanks,” he says, and I don’t need to pull away from him to know that he has a smile on his face. “But there’s something else that comes with it, though, and I don’t know how you are going to feel about it.” He lets out when I’m back on my feet.
“What?” I ask, a huge grin on my face with all the excitement that I’m feeling. All thoughts of Theo and what happened today are now completely gone.
First in the series so I get so excited to see how the tone for series will be. Here we have a small town appeal with a little suspense (Just a dash). Sebastian is emotionally not present after the rough times in life he has had. He is merely existing and trying to climb back out of his hell. He owns the local bakery and yes I would be at that bakery every day if it had Sebastian in it lol. Enya has her own struggles that she is trying to overcome and move in the right direction. These two meet in a clashing way and from there the emotional rollercoaster starts! LB Dunbar will have you tied to both these characters and you will be rooting for them to get their paths aligned! Sebastian family are hilarious and I loved their banter and I am excited for the next book in the series! For now you need to bask in this fine read because you will fall in love!
This is a sports romance and brothers friend romance and add that it’s Sara Ney and I am here for it. Tess has always crushed on Drew but he really didn’t notice. What happens when decisions are made for one night? Drew plays football and is well known. Drew is a more serious guy and one night will change how he feels about Tess. This was a good read but not my favorite of the series. I will say there is some emotional parts in the story. For me I felt that the chemistry between Drew and Tess was not so strong. I really liked Drew and his brother. Tess is not my favorite heroine but overall it was a good book. The story is gradual and the emotions are all there. The sexy times are sweet. Just when you think things might go smooth for them , a obstacle gets thrown in.
