My teammates don’t call me a gambler for nothing.

As a hotshot forward for the Las Vegas Wolves hockey team, I, Landen Zehner, am known for taking chances—both on and off the ice.

Lucky for me, I almost always come out the winner.

That’s why I know I’m going to win over the team’s new event coordinator, Cricket Nance.

She’s everything I’ve ever wanted.

So I’m going in hard and fast by making her a bet to give me a real chance.

That means seeing no other people.

I tell her to trust me and we’ll come out winners.

You can bet on it, baby.

Bet on Ice is the ninth novel in the bestselling Boys of Winter hockey romance series and can be read as a standalone.






"Hilarious and perfectly 'played' sports romance that I devoured in one sitting! I can't wait to read more." - #1 NYT Bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken
"The usual Grey crisp writing, lovable heroes that you kinda want to slap, and a heroine that doesn't back down," Resistance on Ice is another fun standalone novel in the bestselling Boys of Winter hockey romance series.” - Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills

My Review

This is the ninth book in the amazing Boys of Winter Series, a Sports Romance. Landen and Cricket’s romance is sweet. They share a strong chemistry and an instant attraction/love. The story is easy to read. This is a great addition to the Series.

TEASER


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

  Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn't allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.

Release Blitz: Never Got Over You By S.L. Scott

Release Date: January 14


The universe shifts, and our stars realign.


I’d sworn off men. And then I met Nick Christiansen.

Technically, I fell for him, literally, the moment I landed in his quarterback-sized arms and looked into those soulful eyes. I blame the rum. Or was it tequila? 

Spoiler alert: It was those delectable dimples.

Either way, Nick was stupidly handsome and ridiculously charming. He held me like he cared and listened to me like I mattered. Captivated by great conversation and rock-hard abs, Nick had me reconsidering the “No Men” promise I’d made myself.

I still regret walking away the next day.
~
I can’t stop thinking about the one who got away. But then I run right into Natalie St. James. 

She’s still unwittingly gorgeous, if not more so, and as wildly quirky as I remember.

Sidebar: She’s on a date.

What do I expect? For her to still be thinking about me? 

I still regret what happens next. 

We didn’t get the love story we deserved the first time, then I screwed up our second chance. When the universe shifts and our stars realign, is the third time a charm?

Read an Excerpt Here:


He shoves his hands in his pockets and rocks back on his heels. “About that date? The offer still stands if you’re up for it.”

“Tonight?”

“Right now.”

Checking my watch, I purse my lips in thought. “I don’t know. I’m coming off a bad date, so that puts a lot of pressure on you to redeem my night. If you don’t, that will be two bad dates in one night. Might be a record.”

“I’m up for the challenge.” I knew he was, but I love that he takes the bait . . . I mean, up to the task. When he looks at me, it’s as if he sees my thoughts, and my cheeks heat in response. Taking a few steps closer, so close that my eyes dip closed as if I’m about to be kissed, he says, “As I see it, we have several options.” 

Playing off how bad I just misread that situation—again, I might add, recalling the last rejection from him that I barely survived—I tap my eye as if dust invaded the corner. “Sorry,” I reply, blinking like a crazy person. Lowering my arm, I latch my good eye onto him. “Several options, you say? Do tell.”

He gives me a second full once-over and then rubs the pad of his thumb over his bottom lip as if he’s devising a plan. The intensity of his eyes lands back on me. “We can get a drink at a nearby bar. Or maybe you’re up to hang out at my hotel suite . . . or your place. Whatever you want to do, I’m all yours.”

“Are you?”

A smirk splits his lips. “Since Catalina, but that’s old news, and I want to hear about the new you.”

“Like?”

“Natalie in New York versus you in California.”

Undecided on what I want to do, I look down the street one way and then the other, but with him standing so close, his scent has our past trickling back into my memories. I turn back to face him. “I know a place not too far from here. It’s low-key at this hour, but then turns into an after-hours dance club.”

“I prefer low key.” 

“Then we have ourselves a date.”

We make it to the corner before he says, “You look good, by the way.”

“Thanks. You aren’t so shabby yourself.” The sound of his laughter is addicting, and don’t get me started on that cute smile. I’d almost forgotten about those dimples. 

He playfully knocks his elbow into mine. “Looking on the bright side paid off.”

“How so?”

“You told me that if we look on the bright side, we won’t be strangers the next time we meet. And here we are—not strangers.”

“At the time, it was one of my wiser pieces of free advice.” 

“What about now?”

“I’d tell you to get my phone number. Much wiser, but you know, we could reintroduce ourselves and share our numbers just in case one of us goes MIA.” Hint. Hint. Hint.

Meet S.L. Scott

New York Times and USA Bestselling Author, S. L. Scott, was always interested in the arts. She grew up painting, writing poetry and short stories, and wiling her days away lost in a good book and the movies.

With a degree in Journalism, she continued her love of the written word by reading American authors like Salinger and Fitzgerald. 

She was intrigued by their flawed characters living in picture perfect worlds, but could still debate that the worlds those characters lived in were actually the flawed ones. 

This dynamic of leaving the reader invested in the words, inspired Scott to start writing with emotion while interjecting an underlying passion into her own stories.

Living in the capital of Texas with her family, Scott loves traveling and avocados, beaches, and cooking with her kids. She's obsessed with epic romances and loves a good plot twist. She dreams of seeing one of her own books made into a movie one day as well as returning to Europe. Her favorite color is blue, but she likens it more toward the sky than the emotion. Her home is filled with the welcoming symbol of the pineapple and finds surfing a challenge though she likes to think she's a pro.

Cover Reveal: Strays By Cora Brent




Title: STRAYS
Author: Cora Brent
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Wicked by Design
Photo: Eric Battershell
Release Date: January 27, 2021


BLURB

A man like me isn’t cut out to be a dad. 
And if this kid had another option I wouldn’t try to be one now. 
But for once I’m going to step up. 
I’ll right the worst of old wrongs. 
I’ll pretend this last name of mine is something decent instead of a legacy of hard-core criminals. 
I don’t know if I’ll ever be free of my sins. 
I do know it wouldn't be wise to get close enough to find out. 
Into this chaos walks Isabella Gentry. 
She was warned to keep her distance from me. 
I was the one who warned her. 
She’s beautiful. She’s headstrong. She’s spoiled as hell. 
And she’s my freaking roommate. 
Half of me wants to turn her world upside down in the cruelest way imaginable. 
The other half wants to worship the ground she walks on. 
This can go one of two ways. 
Either I’ll decide to be the worst version of myself. 
Or I’ll surrender the past in order to build a future. 
And maybe along the way I’ll prove something. 
That the guy everyone loves to hate might be redeemable yet...






EXCERPT

“What are you gonna do about it, Izzy? Throw your wine at me?” 
She does. She throws her wine in my face. Or at least she tries to. The flick of her wrist comes up short when I rear back and the wine splashes on the floor, leaving her standing there with a stupid empty glass and a puzzled expression. That should have worked, her pretty eyes say. Why is this jackass not covered in my wine backwash? 
There’s no effort required to pluck the glass out of her hand. I toss it in the sink, where it promptly shatters. 
“Hey,” she complains. “That was Waterford crystal, you dick.” 
I chuckle and close in, aware that I’m hard and getting harder. “That’s your whole problem, Isabella.” 
Her eyes flash. Her lips pout. In another second she’ll be stamping her bare foot. “What the hell are you talking about?” 
“This.” I run a hand low, over the shape of my cock. She can see the rigid outline through my shorts. I know she can. She sucks in a corner of her lower lip and jerks her head to force her eyes away. 
“You’re disgusting.” 
I chuckle. “You wish you thought so.”

BLURB

When I rescued Scarlett De La Cruz from her tower it’s not like her prospects were looking so great. 

You’d think she’d show a little gratitude. Thank me for putting my ring on her finger and marking her as mafia property. 

My property. 

I’ll keep her safe. And the trade-off isn’t so bad. Most women would jump at the chance to sleep in my bed. 

Not Scarlett, though. 

My Cartel Princess has a big mouth and an even bigger attitude. But it’s her furious caramel eyes that keep me coming back for more. That and the way her body bends to mine like it already knows it belongs to me. 

Scarlett is my enemy. She’s also the one woman I can’t keep my hands off. 

But if I don’t keep my head on straight, everything I’ve worked for all these years will have been for nothing.

One night in Vegas. 
That’s all it took. 
One glance stole my breath. One touch lit me on fire. 
We live on opposite sides of the country, so one night of fun should be okay, right? 
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and now it’s time to move on. 
But our chemistry was unforgettable.

EXCERPT

Thud.
“Shit,” I squeal, crashing into the chest of an older man.
“Sorry, I didn’t see you,” he says, grabbing hold of my upper arms.
“My fault. I wasn’t looking where I was going.”
Slowly, I lift my head to see his face, finding myself staring at him through my eyelashes. He’s probably well over six feet tall, towering over my tiny frame.
Quickly stepping back, I apologize again as I take in this extremely handsome man. Silver flecks run through his beard and hair, and he’s wearing a well-fitted dress shirt which shows off his rather nice muscles.
He’s got to be at least forty, Mia. Calm down.
I can’t think of anything to say. So, I say the first thing that pops into my head. “You haven’t seen a tall, blonde girl around the casino by any chance?”
Great description, Mia. That narrows it down to probably a quarter of the occupants.
“No, sorry, miss. I haven’t. The name’s Jackson.” He smirks as he extends his hand.
He’s probably getting some form of perverted joy out of this.
“Mia,” I reply, offering him my hand to shake.
The moment our hands connect, warmth spreads up my arm, sending shivers all over my body.
“Mia,” he repeats, shaking my hand for much longer than is required. “Are you staying here?”
I nod.

MY REVIEW

This was my first Alana Jade's book, and won't be my last. This forbidden romance is sweet, steamy, and romantic, filled with drama, and twists and turns. Jackson and Mia are great characters. Jackson is handsome, and sexy. Mia is lovely. They share an instant attraction, and a sizzling chemistry. They are perfect together. I loved to follow them in their journey to love. I am looking forward to read more books written by Alana Jade.

Cover Reveal: The Kiss By M. Robinson

 

Release Date: February 16 


From Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes a new stand-alone romance with all the feels. 

What happens when you make a pact with your boys to stay single and never fall in love? 

Well, you get the Playboy Pact.

We were friends, her and I.

Best friends. 

It was easy. 

Simple. 

Comfortable. 

That was our dynamic. 

We had a system. 

An understanding. 

An unspoken arrangement. 

We were there for each other through thick and thin. We had an unbreakable bond. Nobody understood our friendship. Because a guy and a girl couldn’t just be best friends without emotions getting involved, right? 

Without noticing, everything shifted, and I was experiencing all these new feelings… 

Jealousy. 

Possessiveness. 

She’s mine. 

Yeah…

For the first time in my life, Mila wasn’t merely a girl I trusted and hung out with on a regular basis. 

She had become… 

…the woman I was in love with.
