New in The Dugout series by Piper Rayne🚨

May 16th, 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is about second chances and two people healing and finding their true HEA. In this book we have Decker and Penelope ( who is the coach’s daughter) and these two have a small history. In the last book we get a taste of the animosity against decker and his brother. We see them go to therapy so that was a great touch and explains a lot of questions I had from the last book. Penelope is a single mom and we see her navigate her relationship with Decker like a boss. This was a slow burn but very well worth the burn in the end. I always love the worlds that this duo always masters, it really pulls you in and makes you feel a part of their world. I was interested in Decker book but once I started reading I knew that this would be my favorite of the series. I feel like Decker was misunderstood and he was brought to light in his book! Great read! *Now that being said oh man that Bonus! Do not forget to read the bonus! I am so patiently waiting for Easton because I have a feeling his book will outrank any books in this series!

One Wild Night. One Hockey Player. One BIG Surprise. KNOCKED UP BY NUMBER NINETY by Elise Faber is now live!

#oneclickhere – https://geni.us/KnockedUpby90

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Having a baby wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Then again, neither was sleeping with a hockey player who hates my guts.

Star forward for the Grizzlies, Leo Wilson is my least favorite person on the planet.

Unfortunately, after a night of drinking and debauchery—on both our sides—we end up in bed together.

It was supposed to be one time—

Not a night punctuated by a lifetime of parental responsibility…and the slowly sinking feeling that I may have misjudged Leo.

That there may be more to him than the playboy persona.

That he may be everything I’ve ever dreamed of.

And that…I don’t think I can let him go.

New from Natasha Madison!

May 8th, 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Natasha Madison. Really knows how to create characters that keep you engaged and make you want to be in their world. Zane and Victoria meet during a one night stand but when they meet again at her brothers and Zane’s captain for the team he coaches , well you can imagine the shock. There is an age gap 15 years but you can’t tell at all. I will say Zane tried to fight the pull and stay away for the sake that he was the coach of her brother but that tension and pull well Victoria is persistent to say the least. I love a strong heroine and that it definitely what she delivers in Victoria. Great read and you get to see all the friends we love!

Victoria

Being offered a job in a brand-new city wasn’t something I was planning on.

Neither was meeting him at a random hotel bar that same night.

We shared a drink, flirted, and then one thing led to another.

We exchanged first names, and I escaped the next morning with a quick goodbye.

I never expected to see him again.

I especially never expected him to come face-to-face with him at my brother’s house.

As the new coach of the team.

Zane

I was the youngest coach in the NHL.

I had to focus on one thing and one thing only.

My job.

It’s the only thing I had time for.

Until I came face-to-face with the stranger I thought I would never see again.

She’s off-limits in every sense of the word.

Not just because she’s younger than me.

She’s the sister to my star player.

New hockey romance🚨

May 6th, 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

New author to me but I love a hockey romance and the synopsis caught my attention! Cole was Mr Grumpy and Cassie was his sunshine that he didn’t see coming! He was her celebrity crush until she overheard him and since then she really wasn’t that interested. I mean that’s what they say but with these two meeting it is pure entertainment! This book really flowed well and I loved both characters were strong and there was maturity. Definitely a must read can’t wait for what’s next!

New book by Bella Matthews

April 20th, 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Warning please read the triggers before reading this book! That being said this book was emotional for me. This story had difficult situations but Bella wrote this one beautifully. Ryker , who has hearing aids, we have seen through the series and his in the perfect MC. He was a real protector of Delaney I. So many ways that meant so much for her since Delaney never had that kind of affection. She is so strong and really had some hard times but with Ryker as her support their HEA is that light at the end of the tunnel. You see all your favorites from this series and I love the family that they have. Again this book had me shedding a couple of tears but it was well worth it in the end. Best for me in this series!

Sweet Oblivion by Bella Matthews is now live!

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a marriage of convenience, billionaire, sports romance.

I never wanted to get married.
Until the night my life went up in flames, and Ryker Beneventi walked into the fire to save me.

The Philadelphia Kings’ scorching hot defensive end has a tendency of doing that . . .
Protecting me is instinct.
Marrying me is strategy.
Calling me “his wife” . . . That’s for fun.

One carefully crafted press release later, and I’m standing beside the most photographed man in football, wearing a diamond I didn’t choose, and bearing a last name revered in this town.

It’s supposed to be temporary.
A clean solution to a messy problem.
But nothing about our marriage is as it seems.

Because somewhere between the locked doors and late nights, the lines between love and legacy blur. Until the only thing left more terrifying than the night that forced us together . . .
Is how scared I am to walk away.

New from Piper Rayne!

April 6th, 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is book two in this series of the Chicago Colts and it does not disappoint. Brothers best friend and add a pregnancy in there and let’s go! If you read the first book we learned that Callie was pregnant and left us wondering who was the daddy?? Well yes Foster is the one! These two are so funny because Callie is very independent and has her own hangups as does Foster who does not warm anyone’s bed more than for a wham bam. Everything gets a little complicated because Fosters best friend and teammate is Callie brother(from book 1). Again I am a lover of this duo writing powerhouse because the character they create are so down to earth and they all will have you laughing. Yes there is a HEA but you know it is never easy. Watch Foster fall ladies!!

What to expect:

🏈Sports Romance
🩰Enemies to Lovers
🏈Accidental Pregnancy
🩰Single Guardian
🏈Best Friend’s Brother

🩷Blurb:

Hating Jameson Murphy is easy.
Wanting him is where everything gets complicated.

He’s my best friend’s older brother.
My father’s star player.
A charmingly infuriating football god I’ve spent a lifetime avoiding and failing to ignore.

He should be the last man tempting me into bad decisions. But when a snowstorm grounds our flight, and champagne blurs our judgment, one reckless night shatters every rule I’ve put in place . . . leaving me with two little pink lines and one very big problem.

Now, thanks to an unreliable mother, a surprise baby sister, and a new living arrangement I never saw coming, my carefully crafted life is unraveling faster than the worn satin ribbon on my favorite old pointe shoes.

And Jameson?

He’s everywhere.

In my space.

In my secrets.

Looking at me like he already knows how this ends and how it doesn’t.

Forcing me to face a truth I’m not ready to accept . . .

What if surrender doesn’t mean losing yourself?
What if it’s about trusting someone else?
And maybe . . . just maybe, what if it means finally finding home?

Sportsromance new series!

September 2nd, 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hello! This is book one in this new sports romance that plays out a little different than your normal plot line. Ruby is in Montana to learn about hockey so she can write the romance book that they want her to write. We meet this paranormal author who is out of her comfort zone for the next six weeks. To Nick’s surprise his dad has brought in Ruby so Nick can teach her all about the sport. This does take place in the off season but you will see his teammates appear. Nick is grumpy and tries to box her out and Ruby really held to her guns. Nick does not make it easy at the beginning and is every bit stubborn. I loved seeing Ruby thought process and inner dialogue when writing her story. This story was funny and sweet and it was great seeing their banter back and forth. Great start to the series!

She’s a sunshiney romance author who needs to learn hockey to write her next book and he’s the grumpy hockey player who doesn’t know he’s been assigned to the task.
