  BLURB 
 Sweater Weather [ swet-er weth-er] Noun: A slang term meaning hockey season used exclusively by the Fulton University hockey team and their fans. Saffron Briggs—Fulton University’s newest pitcher—hates me. I shouldn’t like that fact, but I do. Maybe too much. She claims I’m not her type, which is ridiculous. There’s a reason they call me Levi “Sexy” Sexton…I’m everyone’s type. And thanks to my dad, who just happens to be her softball coach, I’ll get my chance to thaw out the ice queen. I’m her new tutor, so she has no choice but to spend time with me. It may be Sweater Weather, but I’ll make time to show her what a god I am. On and off the ice. Levi Sexton—captain of the FU hockey team and my new tutor—drives me crazy. The man has zero boundaries. He doesn’t care that I have a boyfriend, that I’m friends with his sisters or that I don’t like him. And I don’t. Not even a little. Not when he’s winking at me from the ice or when he’s telling me how good I look in his hockey sweater and especially not when he’s kissing me, which he absolutely should not be doing. And definitely not when I find myself kissing him back. I’m pretty sure Sweater Weather isn’t supposed to be this hot.    

        

Review:

This one was a good read.  Levi, at first, was a little annoying to me because he came off as way too full of himself.  I warmed up to him, though.  Saffron is a great character.  She is cute and intelligent and doesn't fall all over Levi.  Levi likes Saffron, but she doesn't make it easy for him.  I liked the fact that Levi was Saffron's tutor.  I hadn't read a book before where the guy is the tutor; it's always the girl who is the tutor.  I liked seeing these two go from getting on each other's nerves to much more.
4 Stars!!

“What the hell?” He stood on the other side of the door. “Where’s the doorknob?”
I leaned down and spoke through the hole where the knob used to be. “It’s in here with me. The lock jammed, and the knob came off in my hands when I tried to pull it open.”
“Alright. Give me a minute. I need to run next door to get a screwdriver.”
“I have one now! I picked it up after the beeping incident, so I wouldn’t need to bug you again. It’s in the top drawer in the kitchen!”
“Okay, great. Hang on.”
Two minutes later, the door popped open. It wasn’t until I saw Holden’s face that I remembered I was only wearing a tank top and underwear, sans bra.
He gulped and took a long look before turning his head. “Sorry. I didn’t realize you weren’t dressed.”
I wasn’t the only one scantily clad. Holden had on only a pair of boxer briefs, his beautiful tanned skin and carved six pack on full display for my eager eyes, yet again. I couldn’t stop myself from staring. Silence ticked by until Holden turned his head back, probably to see why I’d grown quiet. “You oka—”
My eyes rose to meet his, but not before he’d caught me ogling him.
I shook my head and laughed nervously. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to stare. I just hadn’t expected you to be in your underwear either, I guess. It caught me off guard.”
Holden ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah, I’m sorry if I checked you out, too.”
I should’ve just left the bathroom and covered up with a robe, but something about being near this man made me say and do things that were completely out of character. “Would you mind if I…looked a little more?”
Holden’s brows shot up to his hairline. “You want to check me out?”
My face heated. I shook my head and looked down. “Oh my gosh. I’m so embarrassed. I think the lack of sleep and stress from being locked in here made me a little bonkers. It’s just that maybe we both have some pent-up curiosity about what we look like as adults. I mean, I’ve only stolen glimpses of you without a shirt on since we were teenagers in my backyard pool. And you certainly haven’t seen me in a skimpy bottom and no bra since then. I guess I was thinking if we took a good, long look, once and for all, we might get it out of our systems.”
Holden stared at me. I could see the wheels in his head spinning. Eventually, his eyes dropped to my chest. “You have no bra on…”
I shook my head. “No bra.”
He swallowed. “Let’s do it.”
“Really?”
He nodded. “Fuck yeah. I’m going to hell anyway. Might as well enjoy the ride down. But you have to stay in the bathroom, and I’ll stay on this side of the doorway.”
“Okay.” I bit my bottom lip. “You look first.”
“Why don’t we look at the same time?”
I nodded. “Good idea. How long should we do it for?”
Holden shrugged. “A minute?”
“Do you have your phone?”
“No. I thought someone broke in and you were being attacked. My phone was the last thing on my mind.”
“Mine should be on the coffee table. Do you want to grab it so we can use the timer?”
Holden walked away and came back ten seconds later. “What’s your code?”
“Zero, seven, one, three.”
He started to type and then froze before looking up at the ceiling. “That’s the day you’re getting married, isn’t it?”
I nodded.
Holden cursed as he went back to typing. “I’m so fucking going to hell.”
He called up the clock app and then turned the phone to show me. The countdown was set for one minute. His finger hovered over the green button. “You ready?”
I nodded.
Holden pressed the button, and we began to openly ogle each other.

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a new standalone romance.
Rule number one for dating your best friend’s sister: Don’t.
Just don’t do it.
Especially when your best friend is dead and the last thing he made you promise him was that you’d keep an eye on his little sister, but not too good of an eye.
As a musician whose longest committed relationship was six weeks, I, Holden Catalano, was the last guy on Earth who should’ve been messing around with Laney Ellison.
The super smart girl whom I affectionately dubbed Lala since childhood was always off limits.
Though that didn’t stop me from thinking about her over the years, especially those times when the two of us would sneak out onto the roof and talk for hours after my buddy fell asleep. It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.
After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.
Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.
Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.
And things started to get complicated.
Especially since she was engaged.
And especially since, lately, I’d noticed something more in her eyes. Desire.
Lala didn’t exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything.
Yet, I was being good—on my very best behavior.
But you know what they say…all good things must come to an end, right?

Release Blitz for FALLING FOR THE FAKE BOYFRIEND by SE Rose & Sierra Hill



Release Date: March 30

One football player.
Two simple rules.
Three fake dates.
Zero chance of falling for the other.

Emmett Hudson is just trying to play college football at Clearview Falls University while keeping all the balls from spinning his life apart. He thought he had everything under control until the coach threatened to bench him if he didn’t get his grades up with the help of a tutor.
Lucy Parker isn’t into football players, except the one she’s crushed on since high school. But he’s the star quarterback and doesn’t even know she exists.
The answer to this problem comes when a deal is struck with her new tutoring assignment, aka: Emmett. He promises a way to get his teammate’s attention if Lucy commits to being his fake girlfriend for three dates.
Three. Seems easy enough. Right?
But even with safeguards in place, their fake relationship soon begins to feel more real than either Lucy or Emmett expects.
And with their hearts on the line, it could turn this winning strategy into a losing proposition.

Grab Your Copy Here!

Review:
This one is a good read.  Emmett is a good guy.  He's a football player that has a lot on his plate.  His grades are slipping, so his coach makes him get a tutor.  Lucy is his tutor.  Lucy is an intelligent girl who puts studies before other things.  She's shy but doesn't take crap.  When she first meets Emmett, he's late, and they don't hit it off.  She starts to soften to him.  They end up fake dating to benefit each other, although mostly Lucy will gain from the deal.   She wants to gain the attention of another football player, and he offers to help her.  I didn't 100% like the fake dating part because I just wanted them to be honest about their feelings.  I loved their time together and was rooting for them to see that they were perfect for each other.  This one is a good read that you should read.  
4 Stars!

Release Blitz for Truck Me by Aria Bliss




 

Title: Truck Me

Series: Mutter Brothers #2

Author: Aria Bliss

Genre: Steamy Small Town Romance

Release Date: March 28, 2023

BLURB

Garret Mutter is broody, grumpy, and always scowls. By all accounts, I’d say he hates me. But there’s a fire burning deep in his eyes every time he looks at me that makes me shudder with desire.

Five reasons my life imploded:

✔️Boyfriend of seven years rejected my marriage proposal.

✔️Publicly humiliated and disgraced by said boyfriend.

✔️Unemployed.

✔️Moved back home to live with parents at age thirty.

✔️Forced to deal with the loss I’ve been running from for over ten years.

I haven’t seen Garret since high school, and I hate that I’m not at my best—not even close. I’m sure he remembers me as the always-perfectly-put-together beauty queen. Not the frizzy head, make-up free, failure that I am today.

But he’s even hotter than he was in high school.

So. Not. Fair.

Tall, grumpy, bearded, growly, with a thick wall of solid muscle—that’s Garret Mutter.

And from the way he’s glaring at me, I can’t tell if he hates me or wants to kiss me.

Thankfully, he doesn’t make me wonder for long.

The growing attraction between us ignites, and I soon learn that there’s so much more to Garret than the grumpy-bear scowl he hides behind.

Garret has a secret, and it just might destroy my family.

We made a choice to be together. And now we must face the consequences—Garret more than me—as we each deal with the hard truths of our pasts.

Our invisible scars run deep and threaten to stand in our way.

And I’m not convinced we’ll be able to overcome them to build a future together.

Author’s Note: This is Garret and Charlotte’s story. A grumpy-sunshine, opposites attract, girl next door, small-town romance between a disgraced former beauty queen determined to get her life back and a hot alpha mechanic who’d rather be left alone than deal with the painful realities of his past.

Review:

Truck Me is book two in the Mutter Brothers series.  Each book deals with a different brother, so there can be read as a standalone.  I just found the series with this book, but I will go back and read book one, Truck You, while I wait for book three. 

Garret is a grumpy guy who stays to himself.  He has a soft spot for Charlotte's niece.  Charlotte grew up next to the Mutter family.  She was a beauty queen with big hopes and expectations.  She moved to Chicago but returned to her small town after her relationship and business dreams fell apart.  She has a lot on her plate.  Her paths cross with Garret; there is a connection there, but he's very closed off.  He has layers, and every once in a while, he sees his softness come through.  Their story has a lot of emotions and struggles, and I really liked it.  

4 Stars!!
