A love of a lifetime . . .

Leaving Belmont Clarkson is the hardest thing Sage Alexander has ever done. From the moment they met, she knew Belmont was the one, and getting up close and personal with him on his family's epic road trip has taken her desire to a new, even hotter level. But there's no way she can go there---not without revealing secrets that could devastate them both.

Losing Sage is not an option. Belmont's heart is hers, has always been hers. He knows she's hiding something from him, but nothing will stand in his way of telling her just how much she means to him. Finding her is easy---saving her from her past could cost him everything.

 

I have enjoyed all of the Romancing the Clarksons novels, so I was looking forward to the last in the series...in the way that you want a story to end, and don't, all at the same time.

For this one, I wasn't sure. Belmont is pretty damaged, and you know that about him from the beginning of the first story. So, would enough happen, would he heal enough on the road trip, to be ok (or at least on the way enough) to be a convincing hero? For me, yes...and no at the same time. I think I wanted there to be more of him as someone strong and on the way to ok with her...but it seemed like it was a lot "because" of Sage.

There are parts at the end where this shifts, so the book as a whole works for me. I liked the resolution of the family story, I liked that it left them in a good place, and in one that they can move from, and I liked seeing where they all ended up.

The sex was, as always, hot, steamy and fun...with a twist I don't think I have encountered before in a book, so it felt different (good I promise) and I do recommend the title overall.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans, and laptop, and drove cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend, and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband and daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

Field-Tripped
Release Date: October 30, 2017 
A new standalone holiday romance from Nicole Archer. 


I was done with games. But playing with her is so much fun. 

Ten years ago, I was all set to compete in the winter Olympics. Then I lost everything—my career, my best friend, and my girlfriend.

After that, I stopped playing games for good. I swore never to go back to Colorado. Too many bad memories. Plus, she’s still there.

Now I live a simple life as a creative director at Shimura Advertising in New York. All is good, until my boss cons me and my coworkers into spending two weeks in Colorado at Proton Sports’ sleep-away camp for adults, pitching their business. Turns out Proton’s idea of a pitch is making the agencies battle each other in a bunch of ridiculous winter games.

Guess who owns the rival company? Her. And she’s out to get me. I might just let her win.

Hot Stuff - about book 

HOT STUFF_Amazon  

Get ready to fall in love with this new standalone sports romance from New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr. 

He’s the newly drafted quarterback. 
Hot. 

Arrogant. 

Too sexy for words. 

Ready to score. 

I’m an athletic intern, and the coach’s daughter.

Driven. 

Determined. 

Prepared to conquer the world. 

Completely off-limits. 

The NFL is full of rules. Rules I’ve never broken. Never challenged. Never even scratched—until the day Lucas Carrington crashes into my life with his hard body and I-don’t-give-a-f*ck attitude. 

After I almost injure my father’s star player, I volunteer to make sure he’s in top shape. At first, it’s hell. I don’t like his attitude, his cockiness, his easy smile. Don’t like the way he oozes sex. Or how his penetrating eyes follow me everywhere.

That doesn’t stop me from wanting him. 

He’s meant to be a distraction—something to occupy my mind for these precious few remaining hot summer nights before I’m forced to leave football behind forever.

I know what we’re doing will lead nowhere good. I know we’re crossing the line. And I know my father will never understand. 

None of that matters. 

But maybe it should. 

Rules aren’t meant to be broken. 

Or are they?​

What do you get when you take a hot as hell quarterback and expose him to a new athletic trainer intern who happens to be the coach's daughter?  You get one hot, forbidden romance!  Kim's Karr's Hot Stuff was hot, sexy and sweet-with the bonus of being about a football hero.

Lucas kind of broke my heart in this book in the beginning.  He didn't have the best attitude and had been dealt a hand he didn't want to play. He had a past, one that somewhat hobbled him, and watching him grow through that was great.  He was a little more innocent in some respects than I was anticipating, and I found that refreshing.  Was he the stereotypical hot quarterback who never had to TRY to get the girl? A little.  But Strawberry Fields sure changed that.

I liked Gillian.  I really did. I thought she was fun and sweet.  I admired her spirit and her passion.  There was almost a slight awkwardness to her in a way that also worked.  But I loved her drive.  Her purpose-that she knew it and worked for it.  I think she grew up quite well in the book.

There is absolutely a connection forged between these two from the moment they meet.  Their meeting had me cringing and almost face palming but it totally worked for them.  I like that they had a somewhat of a slow build.  I liked that their relationship wasn't perfect, they had issues to work through.  That's part of relationships in life so that felt very real and authentic here.  I enjoyed the journey they went on together.  Their sexy times were sexy, but I loved seeing them expose their vulnerabilities to one another.

I thought the writing in this book was strong.  I feel it flowed well.  I didn't love an action by one of the characters but I'd consider it a spoiler so I'm not going to go there.  As I mentioned, this book seemed real.  I felt like I could go to watch a football game and see Lucas and Gillian there, and I loved that.  This book was hot and sweet, the perfect addition to a football Sunday.  I would recommend this title.

About CHASING CHRISTMAS EVE:

Meet cute...
Run for the hills—temporarily. That’s Colbie Albright’s plan when she flees New York for San Francisco. Wrangling her crazy family by day and writing a bestselling YA fantasy series by night has taken its toll. In short, Colbie’s so over it that she’s under it. She’s also under the waters of a historic San Francisco fountain within an hour of arrival. Fortunately, the guy who fishes Colbie out has her looking forward to Christmas among strangers. But she’s pretty sure Spencer Baldwin won’t be a stranger for long.
Make merry...
Spence’s commitment to hiding from the Ghosts of Relationships Past means he doesn’t have to worry about the powerful—okay, crazy hot—chemistry he’s got with Colbie. Just because she can laugh at anything, especially herself... just because she’s gorgeous and a great listener…just because she “gets” Spencer immediately doesn’t mean he won’t be able to let Colbie go. Does it?
…and hope for a miracle.
Now the clock’s ticking for Colbie and Spence: Two weeks to cut loose. Two weeks to fall hard. Two weeks to figure out how to make this Christmas last a lifetime

Order CHASING CHRISTMAS EVE in ebook or paperback, releasing 9/26/17!






Jill Shalvis is one of those authors that just knows how to write a good, fun romance.  I'm a sucker for a good holiday read so this was right up my alley.  This light, sweet, funny romance hooked me from the start!

I love Colbie.  From the moment the book begins she had me smiling and intrigued.  I laughed at (with, really) her initial drama and just buckled up to enjoy the ride.  I liked seeing Colbie's easy going nature and watching her growth throughout the book.  

Spence? Hello, hot nerd.  I definitely have a weakness for that type of character.  Spence was a fantastic book boyfriend for me.  Sweet, caring....yet slightly broken.  Sexy as all get out and I just loved how he responded to Colbie.

These two share a connection.  Even though there was a deadline in place I never felt rushed.  I never felt THEY felt rushed or hurried or frantic.  It was sweet and hot and sexy.  I absolutely loved it.

Jill Shalvis is an amazing writer.  This book just further proves it.  It has laugh out loud moments, moments that had me sighing and swooning and grinning.  The pacing of the book flowed and the writing was just sharp and fun.  I know some people don't love to read holiday books before the holiday, but this is one book I'll come back to no matter the date on the calendar.  While part of a series, this can absolutely be read and enjoyed as a standalone.  I highly recommend this book!




 

Spence drew in a deep, shuddering breath that wasn’t much steadier than hers and pulled off his now crooked glasses. “Hang on a second.” He tossed them aside. “I need to check on something.”

“What?” she asked warily.

Once again he slowly drew her in, his eyes heated and focused on hers, infusing her with some of his calm. “I want to see if this is how it’s going to be.”

“How what’s going to be?” she whispered.

“This.”

His kiss started out just as slow and thoughtful as the first, all careful control. But when his tongue touched hers, control flew straight out the window.
