Wanted: one hot guy with rock-hard abs and a big stick

Broke and desperate, Sugar Ryan has no use for arrogant, bad boy athletes . . . until she’s forced to bargain with the cockiest of them all.

If only he knew she was alive.

Her mission? Get on this hockey player’s radar any way possible.

Zack Morgan is the king of the ice and the bedroom—but nothing prepares him for the mystery girl who shows up everywhere he does—frat parties, his favorite bar, and finally his front door with an offer he can’t refuse. The only rule in her boyfriend bargain: no falling in love.

But after one (um, two) smoking-hot hookups, he’s done with pretending and vows to make their fake relationship real. Too bad she can’t trust a player with a reputation for breaking hearts.

Will this hockey star score his forever girl or will their Boyfriend Bargain end in heartbreak?

Excerpt:

“We should kiss, just get it out of the way and move on,” I say, sure of the crazy idea as each second passes.

There’s a hitch in Z’s breath, and his eyes go straight to my lips. “Works for me.”

“But just one. None of that fancy tongue work.”

“Afraid of falling in love with me?” He grins.

Well. My eyes take in the broad shoulders and the dragon tattoo on his muscled chest. He’s definitely my type: pure, grade A male hotness—exactly what I don’t need. “I won’t fall in love.”

Another grin. “Liar.”

Hook Shot by Kennedy Ryan!

Length: 408 pages

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

A deeply emotional standalone romance set in the worlds of professional basketball and high fashion.

Divorced. Single dad. Traded to a losing squad. Cheated on, betrayed, exposed.

My perfect life blew up in my face and I’m still picking up the pieces.

The last thing I need is her.

A wildflower. A storm. A woman I can’t resist.

Lotus DuPree is a kick to my gut and a wrench in my plans

from the moment our eyes meet.

I promised myself I wouldn’t trust a woman again,

but I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want Lo.

She’s not the plan I made, but she’s the risk I have to take.

A warrior. A baller. The one they call Gladiator. Kenan Ross charged into my life smelling all good, looking even better and snatching my breath from the moment we met.

The last thing I need is him.

I’m working on me. Facing my pain and conquering my demons.

I’ve seen what trusting a man gets you.

I. Don’t. Have. Time. For. This.

But he just keeps coming for me.

Keeps knocking down my defenses and stealing my excuses

one by one.

He never gives up, and now…I’m not sure I want him to.

My Thoughts 💭

I absolutely loved Lotus and Kenan! Their story gave me all the feels! They had a connection at first sight and Lotus had tried hard to avoid it but it was inevitable! As soon as she swore off men for a while the perfect man for her makes his entrance to her life. They both were so loving and understanding with each other! This was a wonderfully written book and I definitely recommend it!

Synopsis

Shelby Walsh is struggling to make ends meet. She spends her days doing singing telegrams for extra cash, but she never expected to be sent out to perform for the world’s most famous composer. And definitely not in a skimpy Greek goddess outfit. How is she supposed to keep it together when every part of her is screaming for him to take her?

Theo Hayes is a recluse. He just wants to be left alone to work on his next big movie score. He’s even grumpier than usual because he’s in a bit of a rut. But when his brother sends him a singing telegram for inspiration, he finds his muse and plans to never let her go. Keeping her for his very own is the only option.

My Thoughts 💭

I enjoyed this quick read! Theo is having writers block and as soon as Shelby lands on his door step he’s able to hear the music again. I love these alpha men they write and how they refuse to let the woman they’ve fallen in love with out of their sight.

Bitter Heat by Mia Knight review!

Length: 326 pages

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Purchased

Synopsis

She was the wood. He was the flame. After this, they would be ash.

A cruel twist of fate leaves Jasmine Hennessy stranded in a remote cabin with her worst nightmare—her ex-husband, James Roth, who she hasn’t seen in five years. He isn’t acting like the man she married, but did she ever really know him?

One night together kicks off a series of events that threatens her freedom as Roth seeks vengeance on those who ruined him seven years ago. He’s determined to bring her back into the world she left behind where money is king, reputation is everything, and people will kill to keep their secrets.

Author’s Note: This is a dark romance novel with triggers and mature themes that may make some readers uncomfortable.

My Thoughts 💭

This book literally sucks you in and refuses to release you until you get to the end and cry because you have to wait for the second book. I kind of hate Roth and want to know why he keeps hurting Jasmine! It’s like he has an obsession and must have her no matter what. I need more of this story!

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked this book. I still absolutely love Cole and Austin! You get some of the sharks point of view in this one which has me very interested in getting Deke’s story! This book also answers the questions you were left with at the end of I Dare You. The secrets, lies and revenge are still intense as ever. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!

The Hitman’s Angel by Jessa Kane!

Published: April 19, 2019

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Margaret’s mother split six months ago, leaving her in the clutches of her strip club owner stepfather. Now it’s her eighteenth birthday and he’s informed Margaret that she needs to start earning her keep. And that means giving her first lap dance to a Russian stranger named Lenin. When her mysterious first customer pays thousands above the asking price for her company, then shreds the leather couch with shaking hands to keep from touching her, Margaret begins to wonder if there’s more to the Russian than meets the eye.

And there is. So much more than she could ever imagine. Including the fact that he refuses to let his angel go, now that he’s found her.

My Thoughts 💭

This insta-love quick read was soooo hot! This has some daddy play so if that offends you beware! Lenin is a hitman but gets distracted when he sees an angel,Margaret. Margaret is innocent but the power Lenin gives her makes her naughty side come out to play and Lenin is all for it. I absolutely loved this book!

Gypsy Rising by Kristy Cunning!

Length: 343 pages

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Sing, gypsies, sing of your lies…

That old song plays in my head, as the world turns around me faster than it has ever turned.

Monsters and mayhem. That’s become my life.

Fear and apprehension. That’s become the normal for those around me.

Dread and distraction. That’s what has interrupted my own personal romance story with my mon-star quad.

Vengeance and retribution. That was the theme of the monster world long before I landed in it, and it’s starting to heat up more than ever.

Jabs from a complicated, ancient past keep coming so much and so quickly that I’ve grown desensitized to them. Which is a good thing, since I’m about to need a thick skin.

I guess it’s time to see if I can handle being in the middle, because that’s where I’m about to put myself. My mother always did accuse me of being a masochist. I’m starting to think she must be right.

Either they love me, or they love her.

I suppose it’s time to find out who wins. I don’t fight pretty, and I’m not that great at smack talk.

It’s not that they’re not worth fighting for. I just don’t want to have to fight for them. Not when when I’m fighting bigger battles already. Either we’re in this together, or I’m on my own. That’s for them to decide on their own.

Let the games begin.

**Reverse Harem Series

**Sexual content

**Dark humor

**Mature language warning

**Book 5 of 6. Cannot be read as a stand-alone.

My Thoughts 💭

I love Violet and her monsters! Violet may seem absolutely naive but she’s kind of diabolical. She’s making the cold hearted take note of the wrong that was done to the simpletons. She just wants everyone to care. She succeeded in making her monsters care and I loved every minute of it. I can’t wait for the next book!

Vow Of Obedience by Brianna Hale!

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Don’t cry, little girl. Daddy will forgive you.

The job was meant to be impossible, even for the Cavalieri Della Morte. Kill Adelmo Lange, the reclusive crime boss who murdered my brother.

Until her. Adelmo’s daughter.

Branwen has taken a vow of silence to atone for her sins, but I don’t need her to say a word. She’s the bait that’s going to draw my target out.

Now she’s going to swear another vow. A vow of obedience. To me.

Together, we’re going to take down her father. If she does exactly what I tell her, she may even escape with her life.

Do as daddy says.

VOW OF OBEDIENCE is a standalone novella of 30,000 words and part of the CAVALIERI DELLA MORTE SERIES.

My Thoughts 💭

I liked the book but I think I would’ve enjoyed it more if I found out what sent Branwen running first. It was kind of different with Branwen not speaking most of the book. Geraint was a good daddy. The book was hot but it just felt like something was missing.

Synopsis

Maliki

Vicious.

Nyx

Chaotic.

Maliki + Nyx

Vicious. Chaotic. Gods.

What once was sweet has turned vile.

I covet death.

He thrives in darkness.

Our sacrilegious desires run rampant.

Our maleficent demons demand to be sated.

Mercy finds no refuge in our hearts.

Insanity takes courtship within our minds.

Together, we embark on a path saturated in blood and rotting corpses.

We won’t stop until we find what we’re looking for.

If we must set this world on fire, we’ll do it and dance in the flames.

When this is over, you’ll hear the crows singing our names.

My Thoughts 💭

OMG Maliki and Nyx are so crazy and I absolutely loved them! They are just as crazy as the first generation and it makes me so happy 😂! Maliki and Nyx are both damaged but they fit amazingly well together! I actually loved them more than I thought I would! The twists and secrets have me soooo ready for the next book! If you’ve made it this far with the badlands series you already know what’s up! These characters are crazy, broken and viscous but we love them anyway.
