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!

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.

Awk-Weird by Avery Flynn (Ice Knights #2)

🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

Awk-Weird is another goal shot for Avery Flynn! This one will have you laughing from the first chapter, and I highly suggest being careful what you eat or drink while reading.

The title perfectly describes the story and Tess is one of the funniest characters I've read. Her random facts are both entertaining and educational, all while being bestowed at the most-inappropriate times.

Cole is a lovable character, even if he does want to kill his teammates for creating the chaos his life becomes. He's a stand-up guy with a big heart.

I've loved both books in the Ice Knights series, but this one is my favorite. I smile every time I see the cover, just remembering how much I laughed and even cried a little. This is a one-click for anyone that loves romantic comedies!

Summary:
There's more to me than just being awk-weird. I own my own flower shop, have some great friends, and I have my eye on adopting the most adorable kitten. But sadly, hot guys don't tend to be blown away by my trivia-spouting, dorky self.

So when a Thor-lookalike who happens to be a professional hockey player hits on me at my bestie's wedding rehearsal party... You better believe I climbed that tree like a cat. And the fact that it happened not one, not twice, but three times? Yeah, that's pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a woman like me.

There's zero chance I'll end up ever seeing him again...right?

Until the pregnancy test comes up positive. What happens next?

Oh my God, I wish I knew...

Summary:
Dean Walker is all about keeping life simple. He's effortlessly talented and intelligent - spending his summers playing drums in the local band and the rest of the year teaching high school in the same Jersey town where he grew up. He likes his love life simple too, enjoying the commitment-free hook-ups his good looks and sexy charm have always made oh so easy.

Then he meets Lainey Burrows. And his simple, easy life gets turned upside down.

One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son's new math teacher. But that's nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all - their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked up, and now they're about to become parents. Together.

What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won't be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight.

The Best Friend Problem by Mariah Ankenman

💙💙💙💙💙

The Best Friend Problem is a delightful, light-hearted romance. You'll be drawn in from the first page and won't be able to put it down until the end.

Prudence has amazing friends, including a super hot firefighter male bestie. Too bad her dating history is less than stellar and filled with duds, so that's when she decides to take matters into her own hands...

I was super jealous of her relationship with Finn throughout the story, as I wish there were more guys out there like him! Pru is fiercely independent and has a plan for everything, so watching it all go up in smoke was highly entertaining.

This story is filled with romance, laughter and a touch of drama. My first read by Mariah Ankenman, but definitely not my last! (Although we really need to talk about the pregnancy cravings she created for Pru!)

Except all this talk of babies and insemination and...Pru and Finn cross a line they never expected to. Sure, one night of passion won't change their close relationship. Until Pru goes in for a fertility check-up to find...she's already pregnant.

As best friends, Pru and Finn have survived college, new jobs, and bad breakups, but can they survive crib shopping, birth classes, and late-night cravings? Especially when Finn has never considered himself even remotely Daddy material?

Dare Me Tonight by Carly Phillips (The Knight Brothers #3)

💜💜💜💜💜

Dare Me Tonight is a steamy romance that'll make you believe in second chances. After Sienna gives a cherished piece of herself to Ethan, you find yourself hoping for the impossible to happen between the two.

Once you find out more about the history of the Dare family, your heart breaks for the siblings and you can see why they've all built a wall around their hearts.

Ethan is trying to protect his contract for the sake of his business, but every time he pushes Sienna away or insists on keeping her a secret, it just proves to her that he's not the guy she's meant to be with.

I love how overprotective her family is, especially her brothers. This was a great heart-warming story about family, forgiveness and making your own path in life.

With each book in this series, I'm always left counting down to the next release date! I absolutely love the Dare family!!

Sienna Dare is trying to figure out the direction of her life when she meets enigmatic Ethan Knight - a strong, confident man so hot and irresistible he's the one she finally relinquishes her v-card to.

The problem? Ethan has a billion dollar contract with Sienna's brother at stake. An overly-protective brother who doesn't take it well when he finds out his business associate bedded his much younger sister. Oh, and she's pregnant, too...
