Review: Out of Bounds by Lauren Blakely
Lauren Blakely’s books are consistently good. Whenever I finish one of them, I’m left with a big smile on my face. That was the case when I finished reading Out of Bounds. Drew Erickson is an NFL quarterback on the rise. He’s focused on the game and his performance has never been better. He’s at […]
Review: Calling the Play by Samantha Kane
Calling the Play is the second installment in Samantha Kane’s Birmingham Rebels series. The Rebels are a ragtag NFL team made up of all the cast offs, troublemakers, and rejects who none of the other teams wanted. In book #1, Broken Play, we met Cass, Beau, and Marian, who ended up in a triad relationship. […]
Review: Game On! by Dani Jace
Game On! is book #2 in Dani Jace’s Seaside Heat series. Although it’s book #2, each book seems to be a standalone since they’re about different couples. I haven’t read book #1 and had no trouble following the story. Admittedly, I picked this up because of the novelty element: the book takes place in Virginia […]
Review: Pucked by Helena Hunting
I had heard so many good things about this book and I really expected that I would like it, too. However, the writing combined with some plot and characterization issues prevented me from enjoying Pucked. Violet works in accounting for her step-dad, who’s a sports scout. Violet’s step-brother, Buck, is an NHL player. Violet and […]

He’s got a promising career ahead of him and has sworn off women while he focuses on his training and preparations for turning pro. Then he meets Dr. Siena Carr. When Tommy walks into Siena’s emergency room in need of stitches, […]
Review: Off Limits by Kelly Jamieson
Off Limits is a holiday novella in the Aces Hockey series. Goodreads lists it as #1.5 in the series. I haven’t read book #1 and had no trouble following the storyline, so it’s safe to say that this can be read as a standalone. The couple from the first book makes just a brief appearance […]
Review: Hot Holiday Nights by Jaci Burton
Hot Holiday Nights is book #10.5 in Jaci Burton’s Play-by-Play series. It’s a novella (hence the .5) and although it’s part of the series, it can be read out of order and as a standalone. This is also the first ménage story in the series, which I didn’t realize until after I had read a […]
Review: Broken Play by Samantha Kane
Broken Play is the first book in the new Birmingham Rebels series. This book is way more than I bargained for, but overall I still think that it’s a decent read. *** SPOILERS FOLLOW *** It’s a spoiler for sure, but I feel like it needs to be disclosed upfront: this book contains not only ménage […]
Review: All Wound Up by Jaci Burton
Note: This is book #10 in the Play-by-Play series. I’ve read several books in the series, but not all of them (yet). Characters from previous books make appearances in this latest one, so that’s something to be aware of if you’re a stickler for reading a series in order. Regardless, All Wound Up can be read and […]
