Book Blurb:

From the author of the On the Line and Fire on Ice hockey romance series comes a sultry novel featuring a brooding NHL player who’s hell on skates—and the no-nonsense woman who forces him to clean up his act.

Miranda: Even though I’m broke, putting myself through college, and working two jobs, I’m trying to make the best of it. Meanwhile, Jake Birch, hockey’s hottest bad boy, lives in a luxury hotel in downtown Chicago—and still complains about every little thing in his penthouse. But after I tell him off, instead of getting me fired, Jake requests me as his personal housekeeper. Then he starts flirting with me. Only I’m not flirting back . . . at least, I’m trying not to. Did I mention that he’s hockey’s hottest bad boy?

Jake: I’ve met the best woman at the worst possible time. Miranda is the fire to my ice—a sexy, charmingly candid spark who breaks down my walls and reminds me what it’s like to feel again. But I’m being forced to date my team owner’s daughter to keep my job, so I can’t be caught with Miranda. Still, we’re getting closer—until Miranda finds out about my “girlfriend.” And that’s not the only secret I’ve been keeping. But Miranda’s the one I want . . . even if she doesn’t believe me.

TBRreview

I LOVE these hockey books! I know nothing about hockey but that doesn’t take away a bit of my enjoyment of these books!

This book reminded me a little of Maid in Manhattan. At least reading the synopsis. But it’s MUCH better than that movie – no disrespect to Ralph Fiennes or J-Lo.

Miranda is a busy busy girl who doesn’t have time to give numbers to a spoiled rich guy who sleeps with a stripper. And cocky hockey center Jake is not on Miranda’s list. She needs to work her 2 jobs and go to school.

For the first time ever, a woman isn’t interested in Jake the hockey center/team captain. She isn’t intimidated by his sex appeal, money, or hockey status. And she tells him like it is. And she calls him on his attitude and helps him.

Jake isn’t just a rich hockey player, he’s got rituals and routines and reasons for the way he is. And Miranda is the first person Jake can talk and share things with and she heals him.

5 stars!

Review ~ Dirty Work ~ by ~ Chelle Bliss & Brenda Rothert

Normally I am not a political person. BUT in this instance, I’m ALL over it!

Reagan Preston is from a prominent political family and is running for a Senate seat against uber hot, war-hero, Jude Titan. And boy does Reagan think he’s hot. And cocky. And annoying. But so very hot.

Jude is taken with Reagan but equally annoyed by her. He plans to have veterans rights as the cornerstone of his platform.

Reagan and Jude are thrown together repeatedly and their attraction and chemistry is undeniable. Despite people from each campaign trying to dirty up the race.

I love that even with the potential for mudslinging, they both stood strong and didn’t want to hurt the other.

A fantastic story with a great message! I hope Lexi or some of the others get stories too!

5 stars!

Book Blurb:

From authors Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert comes a smoldering standalone enemies to lovers romance that will, ahem…check all your boxes.

Reagan

I hate him. Jude Titan is everything that’s wrong with the male sex: cocky, domineering and loaded with swagger. Oh, and did I mention he’s a Republican? Yeah, the guy’s so conservative he leans to the right when walking. And lucky me, I’m running against him for Senate. But I’ve got plenty of fight in me. A golden boy war hero opponent with a smile that leaves melted panties in its wake? Bring. It. On.

Jude

Damn, she’s sexy. Reagan Preston intrigues me from the moment I lay eyes on her. And speaking of laying…I want between those thighs. But I want to make her burn for me first. Every debate and stolen moment is foreplay for us. She claims she hates me, but her body tells a different story. I plan to win this election, but I also want to win the sharp, fiery Democrat who captures my attention like no woman ever has. Politics is filthy, just like all the things I want to do to Reagan Preston.

BLOWN AWAY by Brenda Rothert

Grab your copy now!

 

In a sensual, emotionally charged novel of love and loss, a tender affair gives two daring storm chasers the strength to overcome shattered dreams and the courage to build a future together.

Drew McGovern is living for two. Her fiancé, Colby, used to savor the feeling of a powerful gale, the rain pelting his face as the sky grew dark—until a shocking tragedy struck him down. Drew’s still grieving his death a year later when she bumps into some of his old storm chasing buddies. For reasons she can’t explain, she volunteers for the next tornado. But when she reconnects with Colby’s best friend, Aiden O’Neal, Drew gets a breath of fresh air that stirs the ashes of her broken heart.

Aiden doesn’t trust himself around Drew. He’s wanted this girl for a long time—long enough to remember the stab of jealousy he felt the first time he saw her in Colby’s arms, long enough to remember the tears that fell as they buried the man they each still miss. Now he’s trying his best to behave himself. But when the wind ruffles Drew’s hair and puts a sparkle in her eye, Aiden can’t resist the urge to hold her close. And when it comes to true love, he’s holding out hope that lightning strikes twice.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

TBRreview

Blown Away.  

Exactly what I was when I read this book.  I read it within a day because I couldn’t put it down!  Day job notwithstanding; I HAD to know how Drew (I love women named Drew) and Aiden’s story would turn out!

I am not one for extreme weather – I whimper at lightning – but I found the storm chasing phenomenon and information fascinating!  It’s not something I could do but the level of detail and information that was given by Murph about the storms and cells was just astounding!  And I am NOT a science person at all, but I learned some things in reading Blown Away.

Drew is a girly girl, working in a salon, doing girl things but after her fiance dies unexpectedly, she finds herself adrift.  Until she runs into her storm-chasing pal who extends an invite to come join the team on their next excursion.  Fast forward to the chase.  And Drew is “living” with Aiden, Murph, Millie and Tex.  Oh Tex.  He is a crack up.  You can’t not love Tex.  He has some fantastic one-liners in the book and I’d LOVE to see him have his own story.  Hint Hint.

5 stars!
