As the Portland Freezers’ publicist, her job is to keep the struggling team in the spotlight—and out of trouble. But with their last big sponsor pulling out and ticket sales plummeting, she needs a miracle. Enter Blake Tyler, the Freezers’ fiery new center. He’s aggressive, unpredictable, and a walking PR disaster. He’s also frustratingly gorgeous. Then there’s Charlie Haskell, star forward of their biggest rival, the Skateful Shredders. He’s got charm, swagger, and a history of getting under Anna’s skin. When a brewing hockey feud turns personal, Anna finds herself caught between two players who refuse to play nice—on or off the ice. Blake plays to win. Charlie plays for fun. Anna isn’t playing at all—until her heart is on the line. With a...

Game Point by Meg Jones  (Game, Set, and Match #2) Blurb from Goodreads : When Aussie Dylan Bailey walks away from her tenth grand slam without a title, she decides to call in for early retirement. But after spending time with fellow pro and British player Oliver Anderson, he convinces her she still has one last title fight left in her.   Together, they embark on a journey of rediscovery and second chances, as Dylan and Oliver navigate the highs and lows of professional tennis while falling deeper in love with each passing match.    This had definite Wimbledon vibes in the best way!  It was just a bit long in certain parts and perhaps a smidge more tennis than necessary?  I know that sounds crazy but some of the swoony scenes were shorter than the tennis matches!  Still, definite chemistry, good friends to lovers a...

Announcing Trouble by Amy Fellner Dominy Blurb from Goodreads : I may know everything there is to know about baseball, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. Or like him. Garrett Reeves: sidelined player and the embodiment of everything I’ve learned to hate about baseball. He’s gorgeous, he’s cocky, he’s laser-focused on getting back in the game, no matter the cost. When he convinces me to call games alongside him, our chemistry heats up the booth. We’re good together, whether I want to admit it or not. I’m finding that I like baseball again, but even worse, I’m liking Garrett. A lot. But when he has to decide between our future and a new shot at his dreams, I know baseball will win out every time.  My Review: I haven't loved a YA book as much as I did this one in at least a few years! I didn't realize that I had read (and enjoyed) other books by this author until after I finished this one and lo...

But when he runs into a trespasser leaping from his shoreline boulders into his lake, what’s a good ol’ boy to do but strip down and join her?
