New Release + Review: How To Win The Girl by Sara Ney

HOW TO WIN THE GIRL

Sara Ney

Release Date: May 24

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

 

 I, Drake Colter, solemnly swear I do not want a girlfriend…   

 Carefree and ridiculously good-looking, I have the entire student body eating from the palm of my hand—shouldn’t I let the ladies on campus have their fill rather than being tied down? If only my brother Drew would take notes from my playbook. As identical twins, we share the same voice, the same face, and the same physique; it’s virtually impossible to tell us apart—but that’s where the similarities end.   

 Lately, my brother has been whining about wanting to settle down with. He longs for affection, companionship and all the bullshit that goes along with it blah blah blah. 

 

Problem is, he’s hopeless when it comes to dating. It’s seriously embarrassing to watch, considering we’re identical; everyone thinks I’m him and everyone thinks he’s me.   

 

Luckily I’m not intimidated by woman and have plenty of experience. I might not want to find myself a girlfriend, but that don’t mean I can’t help him. Dude never needs to know!   

 And that’s the very thing that lands me in trouble…

   

 

 

    

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a fun read! Sara Ney is one of the best at writing opposites attract romances!

Drake's decision to insert himself in his brother's life goes topsy-turvy when he meets Daisy. This enemies to friends to lovers but with a mistaken identity twist kept me glued to the pages and entertained all the way through. 

I loved these two! Drake's self-assurance should come off as cocky and a turn-off, but it becomes comical, and you can't help but smile at him, especially when the script gets flipped on him. Daisy is unapologetically herself, which is a breath of fresh air for not just Drake but also for me, the reader. 

I can't wait to see what Drew's story will be about and who will be the one to catch his attention.

New Release: Personal Foul by Maggie Rawdon

 Release Date: January 26

I’m her dirty little secret, the one she loves to hate.

She knows just what to say to cut deep, and I know how to press every single button she has.
We hate each other, until one night after I lose the biggest football game of the year. 
When she offers the kind of mercy I need. 
It changes everything… until the next morning.
Now I’m her dirty little secret, and she’s avoiding me like the plague. 

Which makes it difficult when we get partnered on a project 
and we’re stuck on a couple’s trip with our friends.

The tension between us is sky high. 
So I propose a way to lower it: enemies with benefits.
One hotel room. A few days. A chance to let our little “hateship” run its course. 

Except when it’s unexpectedly cut short, I’m not ready to give her up. 
And I think I might be a bad habit she can’t quit, despite how smart she is.

But we have bigger problems, and both of our post-college careers are on the line.
I’m about to find out if I can win this game or fumble the two most important plays of my life.

New Release + Review: How To Lose At Love by Sara Ney

Release Date: January 19

I needed a good girl to save my bad reputation.

 

With too much on my plate, the very last thing on my mind was a relationship—the football draft was looming and dating got in the way. I never understood why my teammates bothered with girlfriends. None of us had the time.

 

When my sports agent suggested that being seen in public with a respectable girl would be good for my bad reputation, I couldn’t think of a single person to help me out. The only girls I knew weren’t wifey material, and the ones who were? Might catch feelings.

 

Except Ryann Winters.

 

Responsible. Sarcastic. Smart. Ryann was perfect but there was one clincher: she was my teammates ex-girlfriend and I had recently been paid by him to dump her.

 

Not the best start to a fake relationship…

Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sara Ney is one of those unicorn authors for me. Whenever I'm in a book slump, or in a mood funk, her stories always seems to bring me out of whatever I'm dealing with. 

I fell hard for How To Lose At Love! It's a fun, addictive read that I didn't want to end. It's comical but not over the top. There are these quotes from different characters in the stories that are hilarious and full of sarcasm.

It starts with Dallas being paid by his teammate to break up with said teammate's girlfriend, who is Ryann, the heroine in the story. 

The nerve, right?! Well, fate intervenes and now Dallas needs Ryann to help him out. 

I may be embarrassing myself but I didn't realize Dallas was Duke's brother until he was telling Ryann about his brother hiding out with a kindergarten teacher. (The Secret Roommate - which is also another great one to read!) Then I realized how similar Dallas's personality was to his brother's. (There are also twin brothers in this family who hopefully will both get their turn at love.)

If you are looking for a fun read that will hook you, then you need to read this one!

Cover Reveal: The Baby Blitz by Lex Martin

Title: The Baby Blitz

Author: Lex Martin

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Najla Qamber

Photo: Perrywinkle Photography

Release Date: February 21, 2023

BLURB

Two pink lines won’t change the bad blood between us.

I haven’t always hated my brother’s best friend, but Michael Oliver gets under my skin and brings out the worst in me. He knows how to push my buttons, and I relish pushing all of his. He betrayed my trust years ago, so I’ve made it my mission in life to aggravate him until he admits he was wrong.

When his sister’s wedding brings us together, Michael suggests a truce for one night. If only he weren’t so handsome and smart, maybe I could resist the allure, but I’ve always been a little impulsive, and this man is my ultimate temptation. After years of pent-up frustration and unrequited lust, I finally let down my guard, and that’s all it takes for us to combust.

But like all bad decisions, the morning after brings a reckoning, and I leave his hotel room swearing to never waste another moment of my time pining after him. Who needs that grumpy jerk warming her bed? Not me.

I don’t let myself think about that steamy night together, or how it pained me to hear about his football injury, or how much I know he wants to get drafted so he can help his family. Because I’m cutting Michael out of my life for good.

Only the two little pink lines mean I can’t forget him. Even if I desperately want to.

* * *

The Baby Blitz features a college football player and the feisty girl next door, the one he swore he’d never make a move on. One-click if you enjoy steamy enemies-to-lovers romances with lots of angst and humor. This is a companion standalone to The Varsity Dad Dilemma and Tight Ends & Tiaras.

Cover Reveal: The Secret Roommate by Sara Ney

Release Date: October 4

All I need is a place to hide for a few weeks.

 

The paparazzi were on my ass 24/7 and I needed a bit of breathing room—an escape from the madness—before the media frenzy begins.

 

Sure, I could have gone to a secluded cabin in the woods—but I didn’t want to be bored out of my mind. I’d seen enough wide open spaces as a kid from Texas to last me a lifetime.

 

So instead, I let my agent hook me up with a modest house in the burbs where we didn’t think anyone would find me hiding in plain sight.

 

I’d have a roommate; but supposedly, she was going to give me space. Stay out of my way and respect my boundaries. According to my agent, I wouldn’t hear a peep from her.

 

Wrong. He was wrong about everything and now my life was never going to be the same.

New Release + Review: Off Season by Chelle Sloan

 

Title: Off Season
Series: Nashville Fury, Book 3
Author: Chelle Sloan

Contemporary Romance; Sports/Football Romance; Second Chance Romance

This is a game I’m not willing to lose.

When you’re at the top of professional football, the fall to the bottom is steep.

I was the king of Nashville. Now I’m the problem child.

One minute I’m the face of the franchise. Next thing I know I’m being sent away after my self destructive ways have become too much to handle.

Little does my team know that sending me back to my hometown is the worst thing they could have done.

She’s here. The one who broke me. The one who sent me to rock bottom.

She’s also the only one who can put my damaged self back together.

I’ve loved Lucy Valenti since the moment I met her. Her big brown eyes and kind smile hooked me in. Her faith in me made me want to be a better man. She’s the only one who has ever seen me as more than a football player.

She was my end game. My final play. But I ran out of time.

Or did I? Because I can’t ignore the sparks that fly when we are around each other. Or the heat that still burns between us.

I always said the offseason was going to be our time. And if I don’t throw one last Hail Mary, it might be the end.

And this is a game I’m not willing to lose.

 

**The Nashville Fury series is a series of interconnected, standalone, sports romances.**

“Come here,” I say, pulling her to me so I can kiss her long and deep. 

“What was that for?” she asks when I finally release her lips. 

“I’m trying to remember . . . I think I did, but I wanted to make sure . . . have I told you tonight I love you?” 

Her laugh hits me in all the right spots. “Only a few times.” 

I lean back on the table, keeping her in my arms. 

“You know”—I turn a little and pat the table—“this is the spot where I fell in love with you.”

Her eyes grow wide at my statement. “You did? When?” 

“The day you asked if I was Bryce Donald.” 

Her eyebrows go up so high it’s comical. “The first time you met me? Bryce, you didn’t even know me. I was the new girl in town who spouted off math stats to anyone who would listen.” 

“Yeah, you were.” I can’t help but smile at the memory. “I knew from the first moment I laid eyes on you that you were different. I didn’t know it was love then. I was a teenager and stupid and thought the only thing that mattered was football. Yet, from the moment you walked into my life with your big brown eyes and your huge heart and random math facts, you’ve made me a better man. You’ve made me want to be a better man, even though I didn’t always show that. You changed my life that day, and I’ve loved you ever since.” 

Her eyes soften as her hands travel up to cup my cheeks. Usually when she does this, she’s bringing me in for a kiss. But this time all she does is let her thumb slowly stroke back and forth. Like she’s memorizing my face. I should know. It’s what my hands do every time they touch her body.

“Do you want to know the moment I knew I loved you?” 

I lean forward so our foreheads are touching. “When was that?” 

“The first time you called me Lulu.” 

I chuckle softly before kissing her forehead. I stay there a little longer than I intend to. It helps me push back the stray tear that’s trying to come out. 

“I knew you loved it.” 

“I only loved it because it came from you.” 

I tip her chin up and lean in, bringing our lips together for the hundredth time tonight.

“I’m going to miss you so fucking much.”

My voice cracks, and she runs her hands through my hair, trying to soothe me. “I’m going to miss you too, but it’s only a few months. We’re different now then we were then. We love each other and have thought this through. We’ve got this. You and me. September will be here before we know it.” 

Her words are strong. Confident. 

She believes in us. She believes in our love. 

She believes in me. 

I guess I only have one thing to do: make sure I’m worthy of it.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been looking forward to this book since I read Chelle Sloan's first in the series, Off the Record, and I was not disappointed!

Bryce Donald is the Fury's star quarterback, except he's slipped and no longer performing like he should and blaming everyone else for his blunders. 

Lucy Valenti has been Bryce's rock for so long. When he needs reassurance, she's there. When he has a problem, she's there to help him solve it. But when will it be Lucy's turn?

This story started out as what I thought would be a feel good, lightish read, and then Chelle Sloan sucker punched me with all of the emotions!

This story had me forgiving Bryce for the past two books and falling for him, then not liking him all over again, then finally liking him again. (Yeah, I get Lucy's dilemma!)

I loved Lucy throughout the whole story and I felt for her! She knew her heart and knew when she had to put herself first. 

If you are a sports romance lover, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY suggest reading this series by Chelle Sloan. She has given us an amazing series and I can't wait to see what happens when someone realizes bro-code has been broken!
