Title: Fumble
Series: Hall of Fame Book #1
Author: Eva Haining
Genre: Romantic Comedy/Sports Romance
Release Date: July 28, 2020


Faith Fairchild has a plan.

Now, all she needs is the man.

Hunter Vaughn was voted sexiest man alive four years running. He is mouthwatering in every way imaginable. A football legend - he's about to be entered into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. My job is to keep him happy no matter what.

He has charm, class, money, and experience...

Everything I want in the man I'm going to convince to take my virginity.

Faith Fairchild is my new assistant and half my age, with no concept of just how sexy she is. I would love nothing more than to bend her over my desk and show her who's boss, but my golden rule is don't sleep with virgins. I want no strings sex with a woman who knows what she's doing.

Just because I don't plan to score, doesn't mean I can't play the game... right?

When challenged to a little bump-and-run, can the innocent virgin really play the ultimate player?

FUMBLE is a sexy, lighthearted romance.

 







“You have the mouth of a sailor. I didn’t think Stanford encouraged cursing. Isn’t there some saying about curse words being due to a lack of vocabulary?”

“Well, you graduated from there, so I guess they lowered their standards long ago.” Her cheeks erupt in chagrin. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. I’m not usually so…”

“Defensive?”

“Yes. In truth, I get called out on my predilection for cursing quite often, but I grew up around my dad. Football players aren’t exactly known for clean speech. Wouldn’t you agree?” There’s a hint of mischief in the sparkle of her eyes, and it’s sexy as hell.

“You got me there. Look, about what happened earlier…” She cuts me off as her hand slides over my thigh. “What are you doing, Miss Fairchild?”

“You were jealous…” Although it pains me, I rest my hand over hers, stopping her gradual descent to the promised land.

“I… yeah, I was, and I shouldn’t be.”

“Maybe not, but it doesn’t negate the fact that you were. I hated seeing you leave with that shrew last night.” The scent of her perfume is intoxicating. If she were anyone else, I’d already have her spread across the back seat with my face buried between her legs. I lean in, close enough to feel the warmth of her breath and smell a hint of strawberry lip gloss. My pulse is racing, but I know a kiss won’t be enough for me.

“We can’t do this. I don’t sleep with employees.” She searches my eyes for a chink in my armor.

“Haven’t you ever wanted to break your own rules?”

“Trust me, I want to break every last one of them right now, but you’re Coach’s daughter.” All evidence of nerves disappears as she straightens my tie, running her fingers down my chest.

“I’m not asking you to marry me. We’re both consenting adults. What’s wrong with some harmless fun, no strings attached? What happens on the road stays on the road.” God, she’s testing every ounce of willpower I possess. My dick is aching.

“You don’t strike me as a no-strings kind of girl. I’ll make an educated guess that you’ve not had a one-night stand before.” I’ve hit a nerve. She pushes against my chest, sliding herself to the opposite end of the backseat.

“And look where that’s gotten me…” Her words hang in the air without clarification.

“Safe from scumbags like that little prick in the locker room.”

“From what I saw, there was nothing little about him.” She’s goading me, holding up her palm to show me a phone number scrawled in black pen. “I bet he’s up for some no-strings fun.” Without thinking, I grab her hand and hold it to my crotch, bulging and hard as a rock.

“Bigger than this? He couldn’t satisfy you.” Her breath catches, labored, as she struggles to hide how turned on she is.

“And you could?”

“I would. I’ve been fucking longer than he’s been alive. I know how to take my time, to savor a woman like fine wine. I’d make you scream so loud, you’d be hoarse for days, and you’d love every second of it.”

“Then, prove it.” Her hand rubs gently against my cock, and it feels so damn good. “Teach me. I want to learn how to satisfy a man.”

“I doubt you need any help in that department.”

“You’d be surprised.”

“Nothing shocks…” Fuck, I’m ready to come like a horny teenager from an over-the-pants cock rub. “Holy shit. You need to stop that. I’m serious.”

“I’m not doing it right?” Her smoldering gaze tells me she knows exactly what she’s doing to me.

Release Blitz for The One I Stood Beside by Piper Rayne

 



The One I Stood Beside by Piper Rayne is now live! 


It’s the classic story—best friends since childhood agree to a fake marriage, thinking they can pretend to love each other without their relationship changing.


Jude would do anything for me. He’s stood by my side since we were six, and I’ve done the same for him.


When my father dies, leaving our family farm drowning in debt and on the brink of being auctioned, I’m not surprised Jude steps in to help. I just never dreamed he’d fall to bended knee and devise a plan for us to fool everyone into thinking there’s more than a lifelong friendship between us.


Soon, I’m moving into his house, we’re planning a wedding on his family’s ranch, and we discover a new side to our relationship. I keep reminding myself it’s not real—it’s only to secure a loan to save the farm.


I’ve secretly loved Jude all my life, and now that I know how good we are together, I’m not sure we can return to being just friends.

Release Blitz for Dishonestly Yours by Krista & Becca Ritchie

 


Dishonestly Yours by Krista & Becca Ritchie is now live! 


Starting fresh is the only way Phoebe can escape a life of crime, but her best friend's older brother complicates honest dreams in this gripping new series from the authors of the Addicted series.

Phoebe Graves grew up in a family where deception and seduction are as commonplace as breathing. The Graves and her best friend Hailey's family have been on the run their whole lives, but after a high-stakes con job goes south, Phoebe and Hailey decide to run away and start over. The small Connecticut town they settle in seems too good to be true.

The biggest flaw in their plan is Hailey's frustratingly handsome brother, Rocky, who insists on coming with them. Living honestly isn't in his DNA, and his past with Phoebe is downright messy. He's everything she wants, but nothing she can have.

Phoebe worries that Rocky will tempt them back into their old ways, where lying is second nature. She doesn't want Rocky to mess up the new life she's begun for herself. The longer she stays in town, the more she realizes what it means to have a reputation--and what a normal life with the man she loves could look like.

Audiobook Review for The DM Diaries by Teagan Hunter

 The DM Diaries by Teagan Hunter

Published July 2, 2024 by Montlake

Genre:  Contemporary Romance

 


Taken from Goodreads:  Falling in love with a guy like this is easy. Finally meeting him is a different story in a funny, flirty, and emotional romantic comedy about celebrity, secrets, and plus-sized dreams.


Olive O’Brien is a plus-size influencer with half a million followers and big dreams. And she’s feeling the pressure to stand out while staying true to herself. To cope, Olive finds solace in an unexpected the DMs of Jasper Rafferty, the world’s hottest movie star, where she feels safe to share her hopes, fears, and secrets because it’s not like he’ll read them. Until he does. Kind of.

Career-wise, Jasper’s younger brother, Jude, is in free fall. After an interview gone wrong, Jude now has the thankless job of managing his brother’s social media accounts to help reboot his own image. Olive’s messages are unexpected, and her wit and vulnerability catch his interest. How can “Jasper” not respond? And how long can Jude keep up the ruse?

As the DMs get flirtier and more personal, the bigger question is what’ll happen when Olive finds out she’s fallen for a fraud. It might not be what either of them expects.

 

My Thoughts:  I listened to this book.  The narrator is wonderful.  I did not know the story before I started listening and truly felt like I was listening to the characters tell their story personally.   I was pulled in with her voice and kept in because of the story.  

I really enjoyed that Olive is a plus-size model, she is not the normal rom-com “perfect” girl.  She has misgivings about her size, there were some uncomfortable moments between her and Jasper.  I felt the reality in their story.    Jasper is a great character.  He never lets life get in the way of his relationship with Olive, she is always his priority.

The DM Diaries is a great book to listen to or to read.  I will be looking for more from Teagan Hunter. 

 

Thank you Valentine PR for a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Release Blitz for Hold Me Until Morning by A.L. Jackson

 




Hold Me Until Morning by A.L. Jackson is now live! 


I should have known I’d be playing with fire when I found the sexy as hell woman moving in next door...


It was pouring rain, so I figured the neighborly thing to do would be to lend a hand.


I nearly dropped to my knees when I realized who she was.


Hailey Wagner.


It’s been six years since I’ve seen her, and she’s always been the one person on earth who is off limits.


My past sins I’ve kept like an ugly secret made sure of that.


Too bad this single mom with the soulful eyes still makes my pulse speed the way it did back then, and I soon find our chemistry is just as strong.


When I find her ex threatening her, I insist on staying with Hailey and her little girl until I’m sure they’re safe.


I thought I could handle being under her roof. Only the tension between us strains, and with one forbidden kiss, all restraint is lost. We collide in a lightning bolt of greed, the two of us locked behind her door night after night.


Falling so hard I know there will be no coming back from it.


But being with Hailey exposes the past I’ve been trying to hide, and I’ll do anything to protect her from it. Because if I don’t? We’re both going to pay the consequences…
