ONE NIGHT ONLY by Shann McPherson is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

A spicy, forbidden romance where she’s older and he’s OBSESSED.

Dallas Shaw is a “no strings” kind of guy. Voted NHL’s sexiest goalie two years in a row, he’s the league’s biggest playboy—a reputation he maintains with pride.

But when a pretty blonde crashes into his life like an adorable wrecking ball, what was supposed to be a one night stand turns Dallas’ whole world upside down. When he wakes up alone the morning after, he’s left with nothing but her sweet scent on his pillow and a serious case of longing he’s never felt before.

A month later, fate brings Dallas’ dream girl back into his life. And he’s determined to win her over. The only problem? She’s his agent’s new executive assistant, and her employment contract definitely included a pesky non-fraternization clause.

Emily Cole, the beautiful woman with honey eyes and hidden scars, unknowingly has Dallas’ heart in the palm of her hand. He can’t stay away from her, no matter how hard she tries to push him away or how many times she reminds him that she’s almost 10 years his senior. For the first time in his life, Dallas Shaw is down bad.

Now, all he has to do is convince Emily that he’s worth the risk. That he’s no longer the infamous playboy with a roster of women in every city he’s ever played. And, most importantly, that he’ll never hurt her the way she’s been hurt before.

It was supposed to be just one night. One night only. But what if the one night stand is the one?

Trigger Warning:
One Night Only includes a female protagonist who is a breast cancer survivor. This book includes mention of cancer and cancer treatments, the physiological and psychological effects of cancer and cancer treatments, the mention of lasting effects of cancer treatments, and, most importantly, the journey to learning to love oneself after cancer and everything it takes away.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

This book was amazing! One Night Only is the first book I’ve read by Shann McPherson, and I will definitely be checking out more.

Dallas is the playboy goalie for the NY Thunder hockey team. Emily is the smart older woman he saved from an awkward blind date. They shared what was supposed to be one night only, and then Emily snuck out of his apartment, never expecting to see him again. But their paths cross again several weeks later when it turns out that Emily is the executive assistant to Dallas’ sports agent.

It’s clear that they have a sizzling connection, but Emily’s company strictly prohibits employees from dating athletes. She has so much more to lose than Dallas, so at first, she doesn’t give much thought to the notorious playboy, nine years her junior. Eventually, Dallas wears her down — and despite these two not seeming to have much in common, they balance each other perfectly.

Reformed playboys who fall head over heels in love are always a favorite of mine to read, and Dallas was absolutely smitten with Emily from the start. I really saw the transformation in him from the guy who had a puck bunny lined up in every city to the man who adored and worshipped the woman in his life. He was so patient and loving with Emily, which is exactly what she needed as she tried to rebuild her life post-cancer and after her engagement ended. The tenderness between these two was so well-written, and I thought that McPherson did a phenomenal job in penning Emily’s journey of healing and finding love again.

I can’t wait to see what is going on with Dallas’ sister Millie, and his teammate, Logan!

PLAYBOY by Brittanée Nicole is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

“In your dreams, Baby Hall.”

Older. Hotter. And way out of my league, Hannah Prescott has been my obsession since the moment she uttered those five simple words.

She thinks she’ll deter me by her dismissive attitude but her words only spur me on. I love a challenge and since Hannah is my literal dream girl, she’s worth putting in a bit of work.

Up until now everything in my life has come easy: hockey, women, friendships. Then Noah Harrison is traded to our team and my spot on the first line with my best friends is at risk. Suddenly Hannah is wearing his jersey and I realize I’ve got to act fast or risk losing my shot forever.

Fortunately for me, dreams do come true because though she only offers me one night, fate has other plans. She may have said she’ll never call me Daddy Hall, but the positive pregnancy test in her hand makes that impossible.

With my every dream within reach, I need to find a way to prove to Hannah that she’s the one for me and I’m so much more than a playboy.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Another couple pairs up and finds love in Playboy, book 4 in the Boston Bolts Hockey series, with Daneil “Baby Hall” and older woman, divorcee Hannah.

I have to admit, after Daniel’s… um… rather emotional reaction during their one-night stand, I didn’t think the chances were very good for him to get a second shot with his “dream girl.” Since they are part of the same friend group, Hannah couldn’t exactly get away from Daniel, which gave him the in to wear her down. I love how confident and self-assured Hannah is, and how she fought being cared for by Daniel. The guy is one of the sweetest book boyfriends I’ve ever read! He just went so above and beyond to take care of Hannah and to convince her to give them a real shot.

Hannah has some major baggage stemming from her flighty mother, and her greatest fear is becoming like her. She is hesitant to settle down, but that decision is taken away from her when she gets a positive pregnancy test… and Daniel is all in on being the partner she needs.

Does the baby bring them together? Of course. I really don’t think she would have given Daniel a chance otherwise. But there’s a great connection between these characters, and there are plenty of spicy moments mixed in with the sweet and tender ones.

I love books where a reformed playboy falls head over heels, and Brittanee Nicole definitely delivered that with Daniel and Hannah’s story!

It’s an instant no from Hudson at first, but when she convinces him that no one will find out, including her brother, and that he will benefit from the marriage, too…well, Hudson might just find himself saying “I do.”

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Have I read a Meghan Quinn book yet that I did not like? No, no I have not. She always manages to deliver top-notch romcoms that are as sweet as they are spicy. Bridesmaid by Chance is the latest book in her Bridesmaid for Hire series, and Hudson and Sloane’s fake marriage story was absolute perfection.

The banter, the steam, the family connections, the big emotions… MQ is a master at writing it all. The “etiquette class” was a laugh-out-loud moment, and I found myself trying to muffle my snorts since I was in the car with my family at the time.

I loved the change in Hudson from the start of this book to the end. Sure, he’s a brilliant businessman, but he’s rather stunted when it comes to personal relationships. Once they get into their marriage pact, Sloane drives him absolutely bonkers and pushes all of his buttons, but also calms the chaos in his life in a way that he never imagined she could.

I read the ARC in conjunction with the ALC, and I admit going into this audiobook, I was wondering how Jason Clarke could make me fall in love with Hudson since he already perfectly portrayed Hardy and Brody in the first two books of this series. But the man knows how to play the romantic MC because Jason Clarke was phenomenal as Hudson. He easily went back and forth between the character being a rigid businessman and having fun with Sloane despite himself. But JC BROKE MY HEART when I got to the climax of this story. He just absolutely nailed Hudson’s vulnerability and insecurities those last few chapters! And Vanessa Edwin was an absolute delight to listen to as Sloane, the younger assistant. She demonstrated such a range in bringing to life Sloane’s fun-loving side as well as the insecure and unsure side of the character’s personality.

Don’t miss out on this series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

He’ll save her from the nightmare in her past.

Luke Haven has an adrenaline problem. As in, he can’t get enough.

His squeaky-clean, nice-guy reputation in his small town isn’t a lie. But it’s not the whole truth, either. Although his real problem? He’s not even sure what he’s searching for.

Melanie Andolini never thought she’d be starting over in her thirties. But moving back to her hometown is exactly the fresh start she needs.

Until she runs into Luke Haven, and things get complicated. Really complicated. Although it feels like a lifetime since they dated in high school, sparks fly as soon as they’re face to face—hot enough to light up the whole town.

Melanie blazes into Luke’s life like wildfire—messy and chaotic, beautiful and tempting. But they played with fire once and both got burned. They’re not going down that road again.

Except Melanie brought home a secret that still haunts her dreams. And when her nightmares turn all too real, Luke will risk everything to save her.

And make her his—this time, forever.

Author’s note: a not-your-usual second chance romance with a fiery heroine and a hero who won’t quench her flames—he’ll bask in her heat. Family shenanigans, witty banter, page-turning suspense, and a wild happily ever after that will leave your heart full.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Second-chance romances are my favorites, and Claire Kingsley knocked this one out of the park with Luke and Melanie’s story!

As Whispers and Wildfire begins, there is the perfect hint of anger between the characters when they almost literally run into each other on the road as Melanie is returning to town to start over again after her divorce. But you can tell that the anger is covering up some bigger, deeply hidden feelings because it is clear that Luke and Melanie have not gotten over one another. Things kick up a notch between them when Melanie temporarily fills in as the receptionist at Haven Auto, adding sexual tension to the past hurts, flirty moments, sizzling sexual tension, and longing glances.

Mixed in through it all is the POV of a third character, a dangerous presence from Melanie’s past. Unbeknownst to Luke or Melanie, that danger is creeping closer and closer to Melanie’s present, bit by bit, and it may very well threaten everything that they are rebuilding together.

I loved this book so much. I loved how Luke embraced Hot Mess Express Melanie (seriously, as a hot mess myself, I related to her so much!), and her chaos was a soothing balm to him. I love that he connected with her voice (she’s a voice actress) before even knowing who she was. I loved how they were both able to acknowledge the miscommunication that led to their breakup in high school, and how they have grown and matured in the years since. And I especially loved seeing the Baileys around town, the cameo from Brynn Miles at Salishan Cellars, and the mention of Cara and Logan at the football game.

Narrators Erin Mallon and Marcio Catalano did a wonderful job portraying Melanie and Luke. I especially loved how Erin Mallon played all of Voice Actor Melanie’s different characters throughout the story. But I especially loved how Robert Hatchet (who has become one of my favorites!) just nailed the creepy antagonist in Whispers and Wildfire!

🎧 🎧🎧🎧 Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars 🎧🎧🎧

“I’m sorry I took your sun away, Little Star.”

This was such a heartfelt, emotional, second-chance romance. I loved how Riggins and Stella’s story unfolded in the past and present chapters, from when they were little kids to how they fell in love and then fell apart. This couple goes through so many highs and lows over the course of the book. I thought that Morgan Elizabeth beautifully handled Stella’s struggles with depression and anxiety as well as Riggins’s alcoholism.

At times, I grew frustrated with Stella for sticking around and not saving herself as Riggins fell deeper into his addiction. How did he not remember that they were married?!?!? I suspended disbelief and just went along with it, figuring that she had blinders on and he was really good at hiding his addiction from her. Both turned out to be true. My heart ached for these two characters, and I really could not wait to find out why he just reappeared again in her life after 7 years, how he finally found out that they were married, and what had happened that led to the miscommunication between them after his father’s funeral that prevented any kind of reconciliation then.

Stephen Dexter and Emma Wilder did a wonderful job in playing Riggins and Stella. They hit all the high highs and all the low lows in bringing this story to life. All My Love is full of some dark moments, but there is also a lot of healing and tender moments as Stella and Riggins piece together the past, let go of old hurts, and forge a new beginning together.

Some layovers are for hiding out in hotel rooms. Some are for adventure. A New Year’s Eve layover in Singapore? For airline captain Camden Whitehouse, that was for meeting Amie, the gorgeous flight attendant from London who he hasn’t been able to get out of his head for almost four years. He still can’t rinse the taste of her skin from his memory. But she snuck out in the middle of the night, and Cam woke up to face the new year alone.

Three years and nine months ago, Amie Caine’s life was turned upside down—by a pilot, of all people. After a few too many Singapore Slings and the most incredible sex of her life with the hottest man she’s ever met, she snuck out of his hotel room without a trace. He left a trace, though, and now that trace is three years old and she looks just like him.

They’ve thought of each other every day—but between the fears, secrets, and lies, and the thousands of miles between them, can they go the distance?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I thought that The Best Bad Decision was a solid debut novel from S. Sidney. I found Cam and Amie to be relatable characters and their overall story heartwarming.

The prologue is told in third person, when Cam and Amie have a one-night stand during a layover in Singapore. She’s a flight attendant, and he is a pilot (for different airlines), and they both find themselves in the city on New Year’s Eve. They spend a wild night together, never exchanging last names or many details about themselves, and Amie sneaks out of his hotel room before dawn. The rest of the book picks up four years later: Cam hasn’t been able to get his mystery woman out of his mind, and Amie is now a single mom to a precocious three-year-old little girl, Maisie. It has been four years, but fate intervenes and puts Cam and Amie together when they run into each other at the same hotel during a layover in Santiago, Chile. Cam can’t believe his good luck that he’s found his NYE woman again, and Amie realizes that the time is now to tell Cam what she couldn’t previously because she had no idea how to get in touch with him.

After the initial shock that he has a toddler daughter wears off, Cam jumps into Daddy Mode. Sidney did a great job in writing this family, not just the relationship that Cam built with his daughter, but the mutual pining between Cam and Amie over their long-distance friendship. It’s so clear they both have deep feelings for each other, but when she lives in London and he’s in Phoenix, how can they make that work? Which one of them will have to uproot their life for them to give it a go? I really liked the way the author handled that obstacle. The progression of Cam and Amie’s relationship from friendship to everything else felt natural and I loved seeing how they found common ground in their parenting and romance.

I look forward to more from S. Sidney with Amie’s friends! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
