Jennifer needs our book sleuthing abilities! AND OMG this one just made me go OH NO HE DIDN’T!!!! ROOOOOAAAR!!! Oh some in our crew will be all over this one. 😉 I  know I haven’t read this one ’cause I could have NEVER forgotten that scene.

She asks:

Hi, Maryse! I was hoping you could help me find the name of this book, please.

The hero is a baseball player/athlete and gets “oral lovin’” from one girl before every game. It’s supposed to be his good luck charm. He finally gets the heroine to go out on a date with him and is supposed to stop his pregame “ritual.” read more

BASEBALL STAR ROMANCE ALERT!! SQUEEE!!!! I’m a HUGE fan of this author, and Nay found out that book #3 in this series just went live. 😀 I read #1 and enjoyed it (in fact, here’s my book review), so I just HAD to post this series reading order – now that it is a series (although they CAN be read as standalones).
While I’m actually hooked on this author tearing my heart out with her more-angsty love stories, this one is a fun and lighthearted romance read.

Nay: …her 3rd book in the Balls in Play series, a novella titled Sweeping the Series, came out last week, and the first two books in the series are currently on sale. They’ve been on sale since 3/26, so I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to last. I think I need to read this series! …I want to eventually read every one of her books because her writing is just so awesome. read more

Book Review – Wait for It by Mariana Zapata

Wait for It
Okay, so you know when I say I’m in the mood for a certain kind of romance read, and I’m always searching for that “next” one? That one that has me dreaming about it, thinking about it, and reading in slow motion during those awesome parts. Those heartfelt, heart-tugging, butterfly inducing scenes. The silly (or serious) conversations. The surprising glances. The subtle possessive behavior by the one you’re (er… she’s) crushing on so hard, even though he doesn’t realize he’s doing it? read more

SPORTS SERIES ALERT & BOOK #4 JUST WENT LIVE!!
About book #1:

All Keegan wanted was a roommate who was quiet, minded their own business, and paid for part of the rent. Instead, she got Camden Brooks.
Camden, with his sinful body, sharp tongue, and the inability to stay out of Keegan’s personal space, couldn’t seem to curb his interest in the new girl who wouldn’t put up with his domineering ways.
Feelings were running rampant, sexual tension was thick, and both were struggling to let go of control.
To some people, getting a roommate simply meant living with another person. But to both Camden and Keegan it was a curveball that neither was prepared to swing at. read more
