The Perfect Catch by Meghan Quinn

 


⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾


Five seconds has never been so hot! The Perfect Catch has brought me my new book boyfriend. I'm so enamored with broody, grumpy Walker and will fight anyone for the chance at five blissful seconds with him.


A forbidden work romance between two people who need each other more than they know. Not only from a career standpoint, but they have both lost a sibling.


Walker is a dirty talking, grumpy and sexy catcher that has lost his love for the game. He's come to terms with everyone hating him, but is forced to turn things around.


Kate is exactly what Walker needs: strong, sassy and won't take any of his crap. As she slowly chips away at his outer wall, she can see he's really just a teddy bear that has been forced to put a guard up around his heart.


This has all the steam, humor and character love that we've come to know and expect from Meghan Quinn, but this is probably the first time I didn't get my heart ripped out by the author, so that was a happy surprise!


I immediately purchased the book and it's my favorite one in the series so far, which if you know the rest of the guys, that's a tough decision to make! Definitely a home run in my book and I can't wait to listen to the audiobook soon as well.


⚾ Sports Romance



SUMMARY:


"Kiss me. Just this once...please Walker."


Those whispered words were my undoing...


As the most hated player in baseball, I had two options: either clean up my image or pack my bags. Being traded wasn't an option which only meant one thing, I had to become compliant.


That's how I found myself sharing a small bistro table with Kate Chapman, the Chicago Bobbies newest PR Manager. Devastatingly beautiful, vastly intelligent, and incredibly cunning, she knows exactly how to handle my grumpy demeanor.


It was supposed to be simple. Book some PR events, show up, smile for the camera, and be done. But one massive mistake on my end sends me into the trenches with Kate, forcing me to open up to her.


Innocent glances turn into cordial encounters. Secret touches turn into tempting invitations. And dangerous nights alone turn into consuming desperation.


I've never wanted a woman as much as I want her. And I know she wants me, but there's a no fraternizing with the players rule. Neither of us can afford to lose our jobs, but we also can't seem to keep our hands off each other either.

A Kiss for a Kiss by Helena Hunting (All In #4)

 


💗💗💗💗💗


The best in the series so far! A Kiss for a Kiss brings all of your favorite characters together again, for the story you've been waiting to be told. For the full reader experience, you need to read A Secret for a Secret before reading this book.


Finally, a mature second chance romance that those of us over 40 can relate to! The characters are ones I've already grown attached to in the previous book, so I was more than ready for Hannah and Jake to finally get their HEA.


With very minimal drama (which I greatly appreciate), and the perfect mix of romantic comedy, this would be a great summer read.


💋 Steamy Romance



SUMMARY:


I'm Jake Masterson, single dad, and the General Manager of Seattle's NHL team. I walked away from a career as a player so I could raise my daughter. For the last twenty-plus years, Queenie has been my main priority, but now she's getting married.


And there's a small complication.


A beautiful, sexy complication named Hanna.


She's my son-in-law's older sister. Or at least that's how they were raised. The truth is a little more scandalous than that.


I've been drawn to her from the moment I laid eyes on her. And I spent months trying to keep a lid on that attraction.


Until we finally give in.


It starts with one searing kiss, but quickly ends with us between the sheets -- and in the shower, and the hot tub, you get the picture -- and turns into months of sneaking around.


Here's the problem: we live on opposite ends of the country. It can't be anything but casual. And as I've already said...it's complicated.


But when Hanna finds out she's pregnant...suddenly things get real serious.

Forbidden by Karla Sorensen

 


💜💜💜💜💜


This one is a knock out! Forbidden knocked me off my axis and I'm not ashamed to admit I even ugly cried during this one.


Isabel is a character after my own heart! I loved her sassy confidence, but how she's incredibly shy around Aiden is endearing, especially when it leads to fiascos.


The real scene stealer for me was Anya, Aiden's adorable daughter, who knows what her heart wants and isn't afraid to ask for it. She's incredibly spunky and daring, but sweet and tender too.


The beginning of this story absolutely wrecked me, but I knew it'd be worth it by the end of the book, and it was. Aiden is the grumpy widower that I wish was in my neck of the woods.


💋 Romance



SUMMARY:


No man has ever rattled Isabel Ward. Until Aiden Hennessy walks in the door of her gym -- ownership papers in hand.


The former fighter is a lot of things -- a single dad, a widower trying to start over, and a watchful presence that knocks her off her very capable feet.


To make matters worse, Isabel had a crush on him for the entirety of her teenage years. Doodles in her diaries and letters declaring her admiration -- while never sent -- haunt the absolute crap out of her now that she has to face him every day.


No woman has ever tempted Aiden to move on from the memory of his wife -- until Isabel. She's too young, too fiery, too much of everything he should avoid.


But avoiding is impossible, just like pretending the blistering chemistry between them doesn't exist.


Now that the unshakeable woman is shaken and the untemptable man is tempted, Isabel and Aiden have to decide what they're willing to risk for a taste of the forbidden.

Good to Be Bad by Lili Valente & Lauren Blakely (Good Love #3)

 


❤❤❤❤


A steamy twist to the British Bake-Off! Good to Be Bad is perfect for any fans of baking competitions, but be warned: The steam isn't only coming from the kitchen!


After being misled by a one-night stand, Gigi is determined to keep West at an arms length. By the time she discovers the truth, they've both already started developing feeling for each other.


Gigi and West are both entered in the same baking contest, but as their relationship grows, there's someone trying to sabotage the competition.


This was such a sweet (pun intended) light-hearted romance with plenty of sexy times! I enjoyed all of the baking references and witty banter. A great book to escape in!


💋 Steamy Romance



SUMMARY:


It was only supposed to be one time.

But that red-hot one night stand from the party?

The sexy man in the suit who gave me more O's in a few hours than I've had in a year?

Turns out my charming British stranger is keeping a little secret.

He's as much of a whiz in the kitchen as he is in the bedroom and soon we'll be going head-to-head in NYC's biggest bake off.

My one-time lover is now my enemy. I vow to loathe him for all eternity, though that would be easier if I wasn't dying to get naked with him again.

But the more I learn more about my rival, the more I suspect he just might be everything I've wanted...

If only I knew how to let him in...

GOOD TO BE BAD is a sexy standalone romance in the Good Love series!

Halftime Husband by Erin McCarthy (Sassy in the City #5)

 


🏈🏈🏈🏈


Multiple chance encounters you won't forget! Halftime Husband is one "meet cute" after another and can't help falling for Brandon and Dakota through all their silly banter.


The 8 yr old twins, Poppy and Willow, steal every scene they're in. With no animosity, they genuinely bond with Dakota, even after chasing off multiple nannies before her.


A light-hearted, steamy romance that will have you cheering for more.  This is a stand alone and doesn't need to be read in series order.


😄 Comedy

💋 Romance


SUMMARY:


Running into a man once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times makes it fate...right?


Unless he is now your grumpy boss who holds the future of your fading dance career in his hands. And you hooked up with him when he was just a mysterious stranger rescuing you...


My life is a hot mess. I'm Dakota Tanner and I speak before I think, I spend before I earn, and I live totally in the moment. Which is why I'm down and out in need of a major life makeover. Cue the hot guy who has it all together and makes my toes curl in bed. Who then disappears before I wake up. When he reappears five months later as head coach of a pro football team, he wants a secret romance (aka: a no-one-can-ever-know bangfest) while I'm a nanny for his wild-child daughters.


I should say no. But he just might be my one true love...or my biggest mistake yet.

Decidedly with Luck by Stina Lindenblatt (By the Bay #6)

 


🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼


A beautifully woven fairy tale! Decidedly with Luck has one twist after another that will keep you on your toes until the last page.


Keira is hoping to move on from losing her husband, but after she's left with the consequences from her unknown one-night stand, the lies start spiraling out of control.


Logan has always harbored feelings for Keira, without her knowledge, so he can't pass up the opportunity to have one magical night with her, even if he has to keep his own identity a secret from her.


When their lives intertwine, Keira and Logan both fight their growing feelings, and avoid revealing the truth for as long as they can, which only makes the tangled webs of deception even more complicated.


I enjoyed being able to see this story from both POV's, and it was hard at times not to yell through the screen of my Kindle, but I truly enjoyed their journey. A great addition to the By the Bay series!


💋 Romance



SUMMARY:


Masquerade ball rule #1: what happens at the ball doesn't always stay at the ball.


Oops.


A chance encounter with a masked stranger at a charity ball led to an incredible kiss and a night of hot sex. The kiss was my goal for that night, a baby step forward after my husband's death a year ago. The hot sex? Not so much.


You know what else hadn't been my goal?


To be knocked up by a man whose identity is a mystery to me.


So now I'm preparing for my impending motherhood and planning a fundraiser to provide books for foster kids.


The latter is where hot hockey player Logan Mathews comes in...


****


The last time I saw Kiera Ashdown was the night of the Jingle Balls masquerade ball. She'd wanted her first time with a man after her husband's death to be with a stranger.


After my NHL team trades me to San Francisco, where my daughter and ex-wife live, I'm determined to be a better father and not repeat past mistakes. My hockey career and my daughter come first.


The last thing I expect to discover is that Kiera is my seven-year-old daughter's teacher. The last thing I expect to learn is that she's pregnant with my dead best friend's child.


And the last thing I want to admit is that I was the one who made love to Kiera--several times--the night of the ball.


Because if she ever found out that I'd lied to her, I could lose her friendship. I could lose so much more.

Savor You by Kristen Proby (Fusion #5)

 


🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳


Second chances never tasted SO good! Savor You is my favorite in the Fusion series and my heart is filled with so much happiness after listening to Mia and Camden's story.


Reunited after years apart brings feelings, both good and bad, back to the surface. When they're forced to work in close proximity for a new cooking show, they attempt a fresh start, but that can only last so long until they get closure for past mistakes.


With minimal drama, plenty of romance and laughter, a chance to interact with characters from previous books in the series - I was completely enamored with this story, from start to finish. I love the Fusion series and it's a definite must-read (or listen!)


SUMMARY:


In the next sizzling romance in Kristen Proby's New York Times bestselling Fusion series, two celebrity chefs compete in a culinary competition, but resisting each other will prove to be the greater challenge.


Cooking isn't what Mia Palazzo does, it's who she is. Food is her passion...her pride...her true love. She's built a stellar menu full of delicious and sexy meals for her restaurant, Seduction. Now, after being open for only a few short years, Mia's restaurant is being featured on Best Bites TV. To say Seduction is a wild success is an understatement. All the blood, sweat, tears, and endless hours of work Mia has put into the restaurant has finally paid off.


Then Camden Sawyer, the biggest mistake of her life, walks into her kitchen...


Camden's celebrity chef status is world-renowned. He's the best there is, and the kitchen is where he's most at home. He can't resist the invitation to Portland for a showdown against Mia for a new television show. Mia was in his life years ago, and just like before, he's met his match in the beautiful Italian spitfire. The way she commands the kitchen is mesmerizing, and her recipes are clever and delicious. He's never had qualms about competition, and this is no different. He can't wait to go head to head with Mia. But can he convince her the chemistry they share in the kitchen would be just as great in the bedroom as well?


As Mia and Camden face off, neither realizes how high the stakes are as their reputations are put on the line and their hearts are put to the ultimate test.

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...

Catching the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox (Circle B Ranch #2)

 


❤❤❤❤❤


The Bishop family is one of my favorites! Catching the Cowboy is a slow burn, brother's best friend romance that'll run you through a gambit of emotions.


Rowan Bishop has had her share of bad luck with boyfriends, so when she moves back home, she isn't about to put up with any crap from the one guy who's tormented her for years, right along her brother.


Adam (Diesel) Hayes has only ever wanted one woman and Riley Bishop has repeatedly made it clear that his sister is off-limits. Just when he starts to get the one thing he's wanted in life, his world is flipped on it's axis when his past finally catches up with him.


Kennedy Fox brings us back to the amazing Circle B Ranch and the Bishop clan we all adore! With the perfect blend of family drama, witty humor and romance, you won't be able to put the book down until the end.


I listened to the audiobook and admittedly threw my earbud twice, but always came right back to the story (I have no patience for stubborn men, lol.) The last few chapters will have you immediately wanting to dive into Wrangling the Cowboy to see what happens with Maize and Gavin next.


Don't miss out on this wonderful addition to the series, as it brings back some of the Bishop characters that I can't get enough of!!!


😄 Comedy

 💧 Drama

💋 Romance


SUMMARY:


Settling down and starting a family is something Diesel has considered, regardless of his one-night stand reputation. However, he just might be single forever since who he wants is off-limits -- his best friend's little sister.


He's been in love with her for years, but betraying his friendship could ruin everything.


Rowan Bishop is over men, especially after finding out her boyfriend cheated and left her heartbroken. After graduating from college, she's back home and has to face the one guy who purposely gets under her skin -- her older brother's best friend.


She hates that she's attracted to him, but she's willing to fight for who she wants.


Spending time together is a bad idea, but neither can deny the chemistry sizzling between them. Late night talks turn into spontaneous adventures and just when Rowan's willing to admit how she truly feels, Diesel's past catches up with him and ruins their picture-perfect romance.


One secret turns into another and before either can grasp their new reality, more truths unravel -- threatening to expose their forbidden relationship.

Hudson by Melody Anne (Anderson Billionaires #4)

 


🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨


The marriage flu is contagious! Hudson is a feel-good romance that will make you smile. Everyone loves match-maker, especially when it comes in the form of Uncle Joseph.


Daisy Green is a firecracker, determined to save everything she loves from being destroyed. She's so focused on the past that she can't let change in and see a possible future. Then her path crosses with the one-night stand she never thought she'd see again!


Hudson Anderson (by far my favorite guy so far!) has always known he wanted to build for a living and now he finally has the chance to make his dream a reality. I love that Hudson grew up poor and has his own past to deal with, so he's not the pompous billionaire that everyone expects.


Hudson and Daisy butt heads in the best of ways: making you laugh, frustrated and flushed all at the same time! Two people from separate worlds, introducing the each other to views they've never experienced before. I loved this duo!


There's plenty of Anderson family love to go around in this one and if you're like me, as soon as you finish the book, you'll immediately look up the release date for Crew's story, which is February 11th, 2021!!!


😄 Comedy

 💧 Drama

💋 Romance



SUMMARY:


Hudson Anderson has watched his brothers fall victim to the marriage flu. He wants nothing to do with it. That is until he meets a fiery Daisy Green who shows up on the property he's just purchased, calling him a thief, and insisting the property isn't his. He should brush her off, and move on with his life. But instead, he finds himself intrigued, and he wants to get to know her.


The veteran's center Hudson worked on with his brothers for the past couple of years is finished. And now he's moving on with the next step of his life -- building his dream complex, a huge golf course community. When his uncle Joseph connects him with Bubby Green, he should know it doesn't come without strings, but the deal is too good to pass.


Daisy Green is a warrior when it comes to causes. She wants to save her town, save her people, and save those things others want to tear down. She's never imagined she might just want to be saved herself. She's furious when her grandfather sells her family land to a spoiled, rich man who wants to build something only the elite can enjoy.


Both Hudson and Daisy think they can change the mind of the other. But maybe, instead of changing one another's minds, they might be able to meet in the middle and start building something beautiful together.


This is the fourth book in the Billionaire Anderson series. Come and enjoy the family dynamic of the Andersons with characters you'll fall in love with, and a romance we all strive to achieve.

All Scot and Bothered by Kerrigan Byrne (Devil You Know #2)



💗💗💗💗💗

Kerrigan Byrne has outdone herself with this one! All Scot and Bothered is by far my favorite book she's penned to date. My heart is still pounding and it's been two hours since I finished.

**While this can be read as a stand alone, it's more enjoyable if you've read How to Love a Duke in Ten Days since those characters make several appearances in this book as well.

You're immediately drawn into the story and held captive by the intrigue, drama, suspense and romance. Such a beautifully woven tale of two people from similar pasts, striving to find the truth and protect the ones they hold dear.

A true enemies to lovers story, you'll find it hard to favor one character over another the more you get to know them. A steamy romance surrounded by intrigue and deception.

You'll go through all the range of feelings with this one! I laughed so hard it came out as a painful snort, then there were times I was close to tears, and once I literally felt chest pain over someone's heartache.

I adore when an author can run you through such an emotional maze and have you begging for more. The best part is the heroine is a plump female who doesn't back down from a challenge, even when she's lacking confidence.

I devoured this in one sitting, not even wild horses could make me put it down. From characters that will steal your heart, plot twists you won't see coming, and a genuine romance, this thrilling book will keep you on the edge of your seat!

🌂 Historical Romance
🔎 Mystery


SUMMARY:

They are a dangerous duke, a fierce lord, and an infamous earl -- dark, bold, brave men who know exactly what they want. And there is only one woman who can bring them to their knees...

He is first and foremost -- at everything. A man who's made his own way in the world through ruthless cunning and sheer force of will. A strong and imposing Scot who can turn on the charm but does not suffer fools. His title: Lord Chief Justice of the High Court. His name: Cassius Gerard Ramsay. His mission: To investigate the goings-on at London's most notorious gaming hell, owned and operated by one of the most intriguing and desirable women he's ever met.

IN THIS GAME OF LOVE, THE RULES DO NOT APPLY.

Cecelia Teague was an orphan facing a rather dire future -- until a secret benefactor from her mother's scandalous past swept into her life. Sent to prestigious boarding school and later to university, Cecelia believed high society was at her fingertips... Then, from out of nowhere, she became the inheritor of a gambling establishment. Now Cecelia must live two lives: one as a proper lady who finds herself undeniably drawn to Lord Ramsay and the other as a savvy gaming hall owner trying to save her business from the very same man. He has no idea she is both women...and Cecelia would like to keep it that way. But what happens when consuming passion and escalating danger threaten to reveal the truth?

The Trouble With Quarterbacks by R.S. Grey


🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

You had me at Foosball! The Trouble With Quarterbacks isn't your regular Sports RomCom - this one had everything you could want:

**Hilarious moments
**Adorable nephew
**Just a smidge of drama
**Plenty of stolen kisses

From their first encounter, I knew I was going to love everything Candace and Logan brought to this story. From tender moments, to dealing with the crazy paparazzi, this book draws you in and won't let your heart go.

I always know that I'm guaranteed plenty of laughter and romance with any R.S. Grey book, and I have to admit this is probably my favorite one so far! Hot NFL Uncle and a British preschool teacher, with two hysterical flatmates, what more could you ask for?

😄 Comedy
 💧 Drama
🔥 Steamy Romance

SUMMARY:

CANDACE: KAT & YASMINE! DO NOT DALLY! Come straight home after work. Kat, don't take the long route from the subway station just so you can pass by Cute Hot Dog Guy. This is important!

I've had THE BEST DAY. You won't believe it. There I was in my preschool classroom, washing a bit of poo out of some soggy trousers, when this absolute babe came to collect his nephew from my class.

Truthfully, I thought I'd blacked out for a moment when I first saw him. He was a proper hunk with glorious brown hair, quite tall, and he had these arms. Are muscly arms supposed to turn me on? I'm panting just thinking about them.

Anyway, he told me he's a professional foosball player. At least, I think that's what he said. The tots can get quite loud near pick-up time.

YASMINE: Foosball? What are you on about? Have you gone mad?

KAT: Oh sod off. So what if I like to have a good look at Hot Dog Guy's arse on my trek home after a hard day's work? It's called self-care.

CANDACE: Kat, you're hopeless. Yasmine, yes -- foosball! I suppose it's a big thing over here in the States? We must investigate and learn everything we can.

By the way, he's called Logan.

Logan + Candace. I think that sounds quite nice! I can hear the wedding bells now. Dum dum da-dum.

YASMINE: Oh good grief. I suppose we can do some snooping when I get home. I'll grab wine on my way.

Royal Bastard by Avery Flynn (Instantly Royal #1)


👑👑👑👑👑

A RomCom with laughter and heart! Royal Bastard is the perfect read to brighten up your day and make you smile.

I feel like the girl is always "the American" in these types of stories, so this was a pleasant surprise to have the guy in that role. Nick is determined to teach his Grandfather a lesson for ruining his life and breaking his Mom's heart.

Brooke is the girl that just wants to make everyone proud, even if that comes at her own expense. She's determined to save the town that had her back when she needed them most, even if she has to deal with some stubborn, lazy American boy.

In true Avery Flynn fashion, this book will keep you entertained from start to finish! I love stories where people underestimate the underdog and it only makes them fight to surprise you. Nick is my new book boyfriend and I'll fight anyone who says differently!

😄 Comedy
💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Efficient, level-headed, and always focused, Brooke Chapman-Powell takes her position as the Earl of Englefield's personal secretary very seriously. So when the Earl asks her to teach his in-all-likelihood-uncouth-and-rather-forward American bastard grandson how to be a proper earl, Brooke is determined to do whatever it takes to make a go of it.

Nick Vane has about two gazillion things that land higher on his to-do list than becoming an English earl. Things like naps. Hosting poker nights. Oh, and raking in the profits from his latest invention. Accepting the title his grandfather had denied him since birth because the old man was on his way out without an heir? Didn't. Even. Register.

But Miss Prim and Proper just won't give up, and before he knows what's what, he's on a plane to England. Well, what's an American to do when a sexy, uptight Brit insists he learn manners? He'll teach his grandfather and her a lesson...
