The Rookie by Kendall Ryan (Looking to Score #3)

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐🌠

Kendall Ryan steals my heart again! 4.5 stars - I'm always a sucker for a good sports romance, but this one mostly takes place outside of the sports world, and I loved every moment of it.

Logan Tate is spiraling out of control after the sudden loss of his father. It's causing him to act out during game play and when he's forced to take some time away and get some help, he's left having to face the one thing he's been running from...his family.

Summer is trying to establish herself as a sports therapist, so if that means pursuing Logan to his family home in order to convince him to give her a chance, she doesn't let anything stop her.

I loved watching Logan's entire family embrace Summer as one of their own. The family dynamic, especially between the siblings, will warm your heart and have you laughing through tears.

A great story of personal growth, overcoming loss, and discovering what truly makes you happy in life. I'm definitely going back and starting this series from the beginning, but don't miss out on this one!

🏒 Sports

SUMMARY:

He has everything a man could want. A lucrative hockey contract. Adoring fans. A family who loves him.

But he's about to throw it all away. Logan Tate's name is dominating the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Instead of goals and assists, the talented young defenseman has been racking up fights and suspensions.

I work with athletes who are struggling, but Logan's different. He's not just going to blow his season, but his entire career. And now he can't return to the ice until he deals with his issues, but the stubborn man won't let anyone get close enough to help.

Which is why I packed up and followed him to his family's property in the remote mountains of Colorado. He can't avoid me here.

The only problem?

I can't avoid him either. He's chopping wood and building fires, rescuing my car from snowy ditches, and inviting me to Sunday dinners with his loud extended family. He's a whole lot of man, but beneath all those hard edges is an unexpected tenderness.

Tempted or not, I have to stay out of his bed and get him back to the ice...no matter how difficult that might be.

The Stud Next Door by Kendall Ryan (Frisky Business #3)

 

💛💛💛💛💛

Single dad lovers rejoice! The Stud Next Door is a wonderful addition to the Frisky Business series that'll have your ovaries swooning.

I love the banter between Connor and his friends, who are always ready to keep him in check. The playful ribbing they constantly give him to take a chance and put himself out there is hilarious, especially once he decides to follow their advice.

Jessa has completely different plans for her future...ones that don't involve a handsome neighbor and his precocious daughter. But what's the point of life if you don't follow your heart and live in the moment, even if you know it can't last?

This is the 3rd book in the Frisky Business series, but can definitely be read as a stand alone. If you love a hot, single dad with an adorable baby that will melt your heart, you've found your next favorite read!

😄 Comedy

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Life threw me a curveball. An adorable eight-pound, four-ounce curveball with her mother's eyes and my dark hair. I'd like to think my single-dad game is strong, but honestly? I've been struggling a little.

When a beautiful young woman moves in next door and offers to give me a hand, I jump at the chance to hire her as a nanny. Jessa is amazing with my daughter. She's also patient, kind, and way too pretty.

The number one rule of hiring a nanny? Don't bed the nanny.

It's a rule I intend to keep.

But as the days pass, I begin to realize how much my life is missing. Companionship. Romance. Intimacy. When I discover my heart has space for one more female, it's a lost cause, another curveball. The hot-as-hell nanny is leaving soon for a mission trip to Central America. No sense in letting myself fantasize about Jessa being a permanent part of my life.

The closer we get, the more difficult it becomes to keep my feelings in check, because my heart won't listen. And neither will my libido.

Well, you know what they say. Rules are meant to be broken...

The Boyfriend Effect by Kendall Ryan (Frisky Business #1)

 

❤❤❤❤❤

I absolutely LOVED this book! The Boyfriend Effect is the first release in the Frisky Business series and I can't wait for more! Each page is better than the last and you won't want it to end.

A true friends to lovers story that will melt your heart through laughter and romance. Maren's got a heart of gold and I love her witty banter, but mostly that she's not afraid to say what she thinks.

Hayes *sigh* is the king of my heart and I loved everything about him. He's one of those guys that you hate to love, then eventually warm up to, but oh how I loved the journey!

I love that we get a look inside the adult toy business as well. My favorite scene is during the all-time best awkward factor when Maren shows up with her brother there...you'll just have to read and see!

The highlight of this book is the fact that it revolves around 5 guys who own a business together, but are BFF's as well (the bromance is strong with this crew.) This was truly a joy to read and I can't wait for the other guys to get their stories told as well!

😄 Comedy

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

I'm not boyfriend material.

If a trail of broken hearts and a piss-poor record of failed relationships have taught me anything, it's this. My buddies are happy to give me shit about my latest breakup from here to next Sunday. Thanks, but I'd rather have a root canal.

And a vasectomy.

At the same time.

Relief comes in an unlikely package -- the gorgeous and feisty Maren. She just so happens to be my best friend's sister, so that's not awkward at all.

But I'm a man on a mission, and Maren is down to teach me all the ways I've been failing as a boyfriend. Apparently, there are many. And it's all very informative -- until I start to catch feelings.

Now it's not just my reputation on the line, but my heart too.

Penthouse Prince by Kendall Ryan

💛💛💛💛💛

A fast-paced second chance romance! Penthouse Prince is the perfect book to get you out of your reading slump. I adore a good single parent romance, especially one with minimal drama, so this was a pleasant surprise!

Corrigan is the one who put everything on the line when she fell for Lexington, only to have him run scared and never look back. While she's constructed walls around her heart to prevent future heartache, she can't resist the pull that's still there.

Let's be real for a moment though...two year old Grier is the star of the book and steals every scene she's in. I absolutely loved this story and it was a quick read that you can just dive into and forget your worries for a few hours.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Lexington Dane was my brother's best friend growing up.

We did everything together.

He taught me how to throw a punch, how to change a tire...and he taught me how to kiss. I fell hard and fast, and gave him all my firsts.

I promised I'd wait for him...

But I'm done waiting, because he went off to college and never came back. He took his fancy business degree and moved to New York City, where he promptly became a real estate mogul -- turning every penthouse and apartment project he touched into gold.

It's been ten years, and now he's back and needs a favor...someone to watch his little girl. That's right, the cocky penthouse prince and heartbreaker extraordinaire Lexington is back with an adorable two-year-old daughter. Guess who he wants to watch her?

I've never been able to say no to him. I might agree to be the nanny for his precious little angel, but there's no way in hell I'm falling for her hot-as-sin daddy.

Taking His Shot by Kendall Ryan (Hot Jocks #7)

🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

Jordie's story was worth the wait! Taking His Shot is the final book in the Hot Jocks series, can be read as a stand alone, but it's more enjoyable if read in order.

I've been looking forward to Jordie's story throughout this series and have admired him from the sidelines, while he played supporting characters to the other guys.

The chemistry at the auction between Jordie & Harper was instantaneous, truly setting the stage and leaving me anxious to read more.

Bets placed among friends, especially the male variety, always have a tendency to come back in the worst way.

I loved this book and will definitely be revisiting their story again soon. The entire series is on you'll want to binge-read and share with friends!

😄 Comedy
🏒 Sports Romance

SUMMARY:

She says she doesn't date players.

She swears up and down that she'll never handle my stick.

We'll see about that, sweetheart.

When I win the pleasure of Harper's company at a charity auction, I get exactly one date -- one shot to win over the gorgeous and feisty brunette.

Game on. I play hard, and I love a challenge.

But just when I think I've finally carved out my shot...a huge secret implodes around us, threatening everything we've built.

Wild for You by Kendall Ryan (Hot Jocks #6)

💙💙💙💙💙

Wild For You is my favorite in the series yet! I've been thinking about Ana's story ever since we got a glimpse of her abusive boyfriend in the previous book, and this did NOT disappoint.

Ana Walsh might come off to some as a damsel in distress, but she knows when to leave a bad situation, even if it took longer than it should. Don't forget her fluffy and lovable sidekick, who ends up winning everyone's hearts.

Grant Henry is the ultimate book boyfriend! Always willing to lend a helping hand, even if it lands him squarely in the "friend zone". He'd a genuinely honest gentleman and one that I would gladly read in a story any day.

While this isn't your typical sports romance, more of a slow burn - I wouldn't change a thing about it. The story line draws you in hook, line and sinker, with plenty of surprises you may see coming, but twists that will throw you for a loop. I can't wait for the final book to release and to hear Jordie's story!

 💧 Drama
💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

He's growly. Grumpy. Stubborn.

And now, my new roommate.

Walking away from my disastrous last relationship was an easy decision, but moving in with a friend-of-a-friend hockey star who's rarely home? Not quite as simple, because Grant makes me feel all kinds of things I'm not prepared for.

Protected. Desired. Unsteady.

***

She's beautiful. Smart. Tempting.

And a little fragile.

I've never been anyone's knight in shining armor, but when Ana needed a place to stay, it was easy to offer her a room with me.

Not so simple, though, is keeping my hands -- or my mouth -- to myself. And the night she crawls into my bed and shares her body with me? Heaven.

But she's not looking for a relationship, and to my surprise, I find myself pissed off by that idea.

They say my heart is broken, that I'll never settle down. I used to think that was true. Now, though? Hell, your guess is as good as mine.

First, she took my bed.
Then she took my heart.
Then she took my everything.

Down and Dirty by Kendall Ryan (Hot Jocks #5)

🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

Down and Dirty will melt your heart! Such a wonderful addition to the Hot Jocks series and I'd gladly read it again in a heartbeat.

Aubree Derrick is forced to make the best of a surprising situation when she wakes up in Vegas and discovers she's married to the last person she'd suspect.

Landon Covington is guaranteed to be at the top of your book boyfriend list (everyone has one!) His blatant honesty is refreshing and the fact that he's still a virgin warms my heart.

This book has it all: surprise marriage, friends to lovers, sports, comedy and a virgin to boot! I loved the chemistry between Landon and Aubree, it's definitely a slow burn romance, but worth the journey.

😂 Comedy
 💧 Drama
💋 Romance

Summary:

Remember that time you accidentally woke up in Vegas married to your hot younger guy friend?

That's basically my life right now.

Mistakes were made, okay?

He's too young for me. Twenty-three to my thirty. And he's saving himself for the right girl.

Yup. Apparently I've married the last alpha-male virgin on the planet. And my stubborn, oddly traditional, new husband doesn't want a divorce.

He wants me.

Complicated doesn't even begin to cover it.

Crossing the Line by Kendall Ryan (Hot Jocks #4)

🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

Crossing the Line is a friends to lovers dream! Making the best of a tough situation has never been so hot, especially when doing a favor for a friend, turns into so much more...

I loved that this had the typical characters in a role reversal, where the guy wanted more from a fling, but the girl is focused on her career and doesn't have time for anything serious.

Bailey and Asher will have you laughing til you swoon. Let alone the rest of Asher's lovable family, since they're entertaining enough just on their own! Such a great addition to the Hot Jocks series - a charming, quick and steamy read!

🏒 Sports Romance

Summary:

Recovering from a pulled groin muscle isn't exactly how I planned to spend my much-needed summer vacation.

But I'll admit, being nursed back to health by my gorgeous friend Bailey, who's just graduated from medical school, doesn't exactly  sound like a hardship.

We spend a week together at my family's beach house, a week of swimming and barbecues, a week of entertaining my little cousins and sleeping right across the hall from each other. A week of watching Bailey grow closer with my mom and sisters, and my wacky but lovable grandma. A week of enjoying Bailey tending to me -- which is saying something, because it involves a lot of shoving ice packs into my underwear and taping up sore muscles.

She's funny and kind, and after being myself for the first time in a long time, I find my walls come tumbling down. But when Bailey says she's not looking for a relationship, I'm bound and determined to be more than just the fun hookup who sprained his groin a second time -- this time with her.

Misadventures with the Boss by Kendall Ryan (Misadventures Series #12)

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Piper Daniels has moved to a new city for a fresh start, when her "helpful" sister sets her up on a blind date via the internet, on a site that is known for hookups.

Jackson Dane is a pompous womanizer, who has no time for relationships, only his job as CEO. One night isn't enough for him, but Piper is gone before he can blink.

They're both astonished when come Monday morning, they discover that it's a smaller world than anyone could've guessed. Piper is determined to keep things strictly professional, but that makes the challenge even more appealing for Jackson.

This was a great steamy read, with depth to the storyline and a great background to the characters. I'm a sucker for a good office romance, even if it began before they technically worked together, lol.

🔥 Steamy romance
