KICKED by Celia Aaron was a quick, sweet second chance sports romance. If you are like me and is a BIG BIG fan of football, then you are in for a treat because Ms. Aaron has given her readers a love story that weaves football, passion, and forgiveness.

Trent Carrington has it all from the looks, money, and confidence. He is Mr. Quarterback that can go pro. But one thing Trent doesn’t have is the girl that he let get away. Or more precisely the girl he left brokenhearted. Two years has passed and Trent is finally making his move to win back the girl that he loves.

Cordy Baxter is the female kicker of the football team. She is on the team so she can maintain a scholarship to help ease with her tuition. Kicking is the least of Cordy’s problem especially when she has to see Trent Carrington everyday. So when she tries out to be first-string kicker in order to get a full scholarship, she didn’t expect Trent to help. Spending more time with Trent began to resurface old feelings she had for him. Will Trent be able to kick his way into her heart? Or will she be kicking him to the sidelines?

Kicked was definitely your fast paced sports romance. It was definitely straightforward, predictable, and sweet. This book left you feeling happy that Cordy and Trent were able to work through their issues and kicked past two years of heartbreak. So if you are looking for a sexy and cute sports romance then this book might be for you.

I want to explode, right then and there. His deep kisses are throwing me into a downward spiral, arresting my breath, seizing my heart, and occupying every inch of my skin with desire-filled chills. He’s consuming me with just his mouth to the point that I feel myself evaporating , our bodies molding together as one.”

Olympic medalist. Check. Underwear Model. Check. Body like a Greek God. Check. If those three facts doesn’t check off your checklist as to why you need to go read Meghan Quinn’s latest sports romantic comedy, Stroked then let me add in the fact, this book is ridiculously splashing with lots of humor, banter, and of course dripping with lots of sexy moments. Yes, prepared to get wet.

If you aren’t familiar with Meghan Quinn, then you are truly missing out on a motherload of a smart witty and playful romance. Meghan is well aware of how much I adore her books and Stroked is definitely one book that you need to take a dip into and here’s why.

Reese King is a world champion Olympic swimmer. His life has been dedicated to his profession. While he may be successful, there is one thing that has always been plaguing him, he can never capture a gold medal and this upcoming Olympics, Reese plans to put the naysayers in their place. So when Reese’s publicist suggest that he enter a fake relationship with a reality star, Bellini Chambers in order to boost his popularity and gain sponsorship, Reese never thought he would be in such a predicament dealing with Bellini and her bitchy attitude.

Every inch of her passion is possessing me: the way her hips melodically fuck me, the way her tongue won’t ease up, just keeps begging for more, and the way her fingers grip the curls of my hair, pulling aggressively, just enough to turn me on even more. She’s playing my entire body like an instrument, her sexual need strumming me to the point of orgasm.”

Bellini Chambers is everything you would think a reality star behind closed door is really like. You know what I am talking about all you Bravo and E! Reality junkies out there. If you need me to spell it out to you she is a world class bitch. So you can imagine what it would be like working and having to deal with her demands.

Paisley Macarro deserves a gold medal for taking up the job as Bellini’s personal assistant. While Paisley has to work for Bellini, she also was able to get close to Reese since the whole Bellini and Reese publicity. As Reese got to know Paisley, he was intrigued by her and wanted to know more. And soon Reese was able to worm his way into her heart. But happens when Bellini discovers the secret relationship of Reese and Paisley? Will Reese be stroking his way to romance and a gold medal or will he discover that Bellini is ready to drown his career and any chance of happiness?

You’re perfect in every way.”“And . . .”“And the most attractive man I’ve ever met.”“And . . .” I roll my eyes. “And your dick is the best dick I’ve ever had inside me.”“And . . .” I think about it. “And I love you.”

Splish Splash!!!! Stroked was a smart witty and humorous read that had all the makings to get you drenched. As always, Meghan writes stories that are clearly to have you giggling like a fool and swooning like a love sick puppy. The writing was stellar. The characters were entertaining. And the story line was a riot of fun, sassy romance. So are you ready to take a dip and get soaked by this sexy and fun romance by Meghan Quinn?

“I respect you as a trainer and a human being. And, most importantly of all, I am attracted to you in a way that makes it hard to breathe when you’re close.” That was when he paused to take a breath. “I want you in a way that makes rolling into bed every night without fantasizing about crawling over your body impossible. That’s why.”

HOMERUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNN!! Nicole Williams scores a major league run in her newest sports romance, Stealing Home. As a big fan of Nicole Williams, I knew that I couldn’t wait to read this book. And if you know me, I am a big sports fan and I LOVEEEEEE baseball so of course you know I will this devour it in one sitting. Nicole Williams starts Stealing Home with a run batted in as she introduces two MCs that I instantly fell in loved with. Right off the bat, I became a fan of Luke Archer and Allie Eden.

“I can’t promise you forever. I can’t promise any length of time actually, but I can promise honesty and commitment. The rest, I don’t know. We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Allie Eden is San Diego’s Shocker newest athletic trainer. She knows that she has to work really hard to get recognized in a career that is a prominent male dominated work field. Allie loves baseball and is good at her job and she doesn’t want anything to jeopardize her career. And so when San Diego Shocker most valuable player, Luke Archer takes notice of her… Allie has a hard time resisting him. And how could she when Archer offers her his bat and balls to play.

“One kiss. One minute. I knew that if I let Luke Archer past my walls, he would consume me. I never would have guessed it could happen so quickly. So completely. One taste. One touch. And he owned me.”

Luke Archer is an all-star baseball player. He lives and breathes baseball. Baseball is his passion that is until a sexy athletic trainer walks into his life. Allie challenges Luke and he loves that. And so when he crosses the line with Allie, he knew that one taste of her was not enough. Luke is ready to step up to the plate and explore this relationship with Allie. But what happens when Allie begins to have doubts about Luke and his intentions? Will Luke be able to show Allie that she is first base, second base, third base and most importantly she is home plate?

“Sex with Luke had been many things, from filthy to redefining, but the one thing it had always been was transcendent.”

Stealing Home was indeed one sexy sports romance that had heat, passion, banter, and of course a little angst to help shake things up. Nicole Williams didn’t steal home but she delivered multiple runs and a home run to add to the scoreboard. This is one of those reads that made you smile big especially when you get to the epilogue. So if you are a fan of baseball that has a strong heroine and a sexy cocky hero with a heart of gold then this book is definitely for you. Are you ready to step up to the plate and steal home?

Score!!!! Amy Andrews has scored major points in her newest release Playing By Her Rules. Hot Australian Rugby hero. Check! A sassy heroine.Check! A swoonworthy hero. Check! Hot chemistry.Check! A fun and sweet second chance love story!Check! Twitter Hashtags. Check! Rugby players.Check! Check!

Eight years ago, Matilda Kent got her heart broken from her first and only love, Tanner Stone. The once carefree and smart mouth Matilda is now guarded when it comes to dating and love. And so when she was assigned to do an six-serial feature editorial, Matilda should be ecstatic as this would be her big break but the feature was on Tanner Stone, Australian Rugby Captain of the Sydney Smoke.

“That old Tilly was still in there, he was sure of it. She was just hiding, buried beneath a shit-ton of hurt, and he hated knowing he was, at least partially, responsible. The thought needled like prickles on sunburn. He had to try and make amends somehow. If he’d broken her, wasn’t it his responsibility to fix her? To coax her out from behind that wall so she could smile again— could be happy within herself and shine bright for the whole damn world to see?”

Tanner Stone let Matilda Kent walk away from him eight years because he didn’t want her to give up on her dreams. This was the secret he kept to himself all these years because he would rather be brokenhearted than see the girl he loves throw away her dreams so she could follow him in his dreams to play rugby. Tanner made a choice to let her go so she can go to Stanford and doesn’t regret that one bit but it seems Matilda thinks he let her go because he didn’t love her enough. Now that he finally has a chance to make things right with Matilda, she doesn’t want anything to do with him but just get this interview over with. And so Tanner will go out of his way to show his Tilly that he is the right and only man for her. Will Tanner be able to prove to Tilly that this is #definitelylove?

“That’s what he wanted. To love her again. But she didn’t look in any kind of mood to be throwing that out there. He had some more making up to do.”

Seriously, Tanner Stone is book boyfriend material. He was sweet, kind, humble and has a big heart especially when it comes to Tilly. Tanner reminds us all that love is not easy. Sometimes love entails sacrifices and letting go. And for Tanner, he wouldn’t change a thing because he didn’t want to be the reason for Tilly to give up her dreams in writing and going to Stanford. Like I said earlier, Amy Andrews has scored major points in my book for writing a lovable hero who has won reader’s hearts for his humility, sacrifice, and sweet personality. #TannerStoneForTheWin.

“Her mouth devoured his. Or maybe his devoured hers. Matilda wasn’t keeping score. She just hung on to those big shoulders, opened her mouth, and gave him everything she had, demanding the same in return.”

As sweet and amazing Tanner is, I loved the banter and Twitter status updates that was incorporated into the story line. I loved that Amy Andrews was able to weave a second chance romance via Twitter and #Hashtags. The hashtags were cute, fresh and added a modern touch which allowed readers to feel Tanner’s celebrity status as we get to see the friendly banter exchanges between Matilda and Tanner. I think it’s best that I end this review with a personal tweet.

If you read the first book, Cleat Chaser then you all have been introduced to Easton Holliday and Kyrie Kent and how they got their happily ever after baseball romance. Well, now it’s time for Easton’s teammate and best friend, Braden to get his happily ever after with his very own cleat chaser, Nikki in the Cleat Catcher. Nikki Graves is a cleat chaser. Well, correction she was a cleat chaser. Was being the operative word since she finally catches the eyes and heart of Braden Bradford, catcher for the Ravens.

“Braden was a lot of things—star athlete, decent dresser, funny, smart, hot as fuck—but far and away his best attribute was his kissing ability. You’ve never been kissed until you’ve been kissed by Braden Bradford. And that’s too bad, because he only kisses me.”

Kyrie’s best friend, Nikki has been in a serious relationship with Braden for quite some time now. Braden and Nikki have been living together and their relationship is in the serious committed phase. Their relationship should be a home run but these two will have to overcome all the strikes and foul balls that will occur in their relationship. And one of the major hurdles that they will have to overcome is Braden’s career as a baseball player. With a possible knee injury and trade looming, will Brady be able to make a play to save his career or will his catching days be over? Will baseball be his number one priority or will it be Nikki? Can Nikki catch her man and be the support he needs or will she find herself striking out?

Cleat Catcher was a fun, sexy, dirty-talking erotic romance that still had the aspect of that heart-warming love story. The story of Braden and Nikki was sexy, angsty, and of course steamy especially when these two have a major thing when it comes to dirty talk. So if you are looking for a story that is hot, sexy, funny, and emotional then look no further than Cleat Catcher. Celia Aaron and Sloane Howell definitely has hit a home run with this second installment to the Cleat Chaser Series.
