I swear there is something about small-town romance that has a way of bringing a smile to my face. Maybe it’s the characters or the simplicity of the story line. But either way, I adore reading this trope. And in Erin Kern’s latest upcoming release, Winner Takes All, she has scored major touchdown points in my book. This is the first book that I have read from this author and it surely won’t be my last.

 photo ea41daa025bbe3d7d15aa22624015e_zps38i1w4ot.gif“How could one woman confuse him so much, yet understand him more than anyone else?”

Right off the opening pages, Ms. Kern introduces readers to a retired NFL quarterback, Blake Carpenter. Blake had it all from fame, money, and endorsements until everything came to an abrupt halt when a knee injury sidelined his career and soon rumors of performing enhancing drugs began to tarnish his image. As one of the leading quarterbacks in the NFL, Blake career’s comes spiraling down when the only career option left for him is coaching high school football. And in order to keep this job, he knows he has to leads his team to victory. With his eyes on leading his hometown high school team to the playoffs, Blake didn’t realize he might find himself blindsided by a gorgeous, feisty, and stubborn physical therapist hired by the district to help his team.

#WinnerTakesAll1

Annabelle Turner wants to win. And in order for this football team to have a winning season, she knows that these kids needs proper physical therapy and conditioning but the only problem is that Blake Carpenter is so stubborn. He doesn’t like to hear any of Annabelle’s suggestion that is until all the sexual attraction and tension built up. Will these two fiercely independent and strong personalities find themselves scoring off the field?

 photo ea41daa025bbe3d7d15aa22624015e_zps38i1w4ot.gif“No matter how many times she saw them, Annabelle could never fully prepare herself for his blue eyes. They were deep, like the deepest part of the ocean, where the sun couldn’t penetrate. And intense.”

Blake and Annabelle have this hate/love relationship. It is either hot or cold when it comes to these two. Their banter was intense, sexy, and oh so palpable and readers like myself couldn’t wait till these two finally have to admit their true feelings for one another. As Blake and Annabelle slowly broke down each other’s wall, readers begin to see that these two are indeed a perfect match. Annabelle was able to see behind the fame, money, and scandal, Blake Carpenter is a good man with a heart of gold. But before these two could ride off to sunset, Blake must confront and come to terms when help is needed. Will Annabelle be able to help him or will Blake put her on the sidelines? And will Blake be able to lead his team to victory or will he discover victory ain’t sweet when you have no one to share it with?

 photo ea41daa025bbe3d7d15aa22624015e_zps38i1w4ot.gif“The fact that Annabelle Turner, a woman who’d narrowed her eyes at him as much as she’d mentally undressed him, saw right through his I-don’t-give-a-shit attitude shocked the hell out him. Because he either wasn’t as closed off as he thought he was. Or Ms. Turner was more in tune to him than he wanted.”

Winner Takes All by Erin Kern was a sweet, charming, and playful small town romance. Ms. Kern was able to weave a heartwarming story line that was filled with banter, second chances, and sexual tension while pulling those heart strings as readers gotta see the real Blake Carpenter and Annabelle Turner. So if you are looking for a romance that has sports, family, second chances, and a winning love story then I suggest you give this book a try.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Reviewed by: Neilliza
☆☆☆☆ 4 Stars ☆☆☆☆

Under the Lights is the story of two broken souls getting a second chance. It is a fast paced story of finding onesself and love along the way. Willa, Gunner and Brady were childhood friends, the closest friends who loved spending them in their tree house. One day Willa got pulled away from them, thinking they would never see them again. Six years later, Willa is back. Both Gunner and Brady are in for it. Both have feelings for her and confused on what to do about it. This story is all about the three friends growing up, finding themselves and each other. We get the POV from all three. It has a little bit of a love triangle, that I was too keen on, but ended up enjoying anyway. It is very much a teenage book and what they go through in life at their worst and their best.

When I was finished with this book, I was left wanting more. I felt like Willa and Gunner’s story was just getting started, but ended so quickly. I am happy to know that Brady’s book is coming, as I fell in love with him in this story. I can’t wait to read book 3.

☆☆☆☆ 5 Stars ☆☆☆☆

The Blurb of the book peak my interest and the story pulled me in. What an awesome debut novel. The book is so well written, I would’ve never guess A.S. Teague was a new author. When I started reading, I was looking for an MMA fighter story, but it wasn’t what I got. Which isn’t a bad thing at all. Undisputed is so much more than I expected. It was emotional, sweet and touching. I couldn’t get enough of the couple and Connor, loved him so much.

 photo Undisputed-Teaser.jpg

The story is all about unexpected love and friendship. Breccan may have started as a man whore, but he made quite a change once he met Sidney and Connor. Meeting the close family, not only opened his eyes, but changed it forever. I love the relationship between Sidney and her nephew Connor, but I truly fell in love with the new and unexpected bond between Connor and Breccan. What I would never forget is that beautiful and emotional letter at the end that completely gutted me. I’ll leave it to the readers to find out.

Don’t want to say too much more, as I don’t want to spoil the story for the rest of the readers. All I have to say is enjoy and read with an open heart. This beautiful story will definitely touch everyones heart. <3

I must be in the minority of readers who thought this book was okay. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it but I didn't loved it. It was one of those quick reads that you know what the ending is going to be. Bending Bethany was a very quick, sweet happily ever insta love story. So if you looking for a light, fast drama free HEA love story then this book might be for you.

A sizzling sexy sports romance that is bound to have readers begging and craving for more!!! R. S. Grey has truly elevated her writing game as she has written one of the most sexiest, steamy sports romance that I have read. Who knew stepping out of bounds can lead to love? Well Rachel definitely did as she has written one of my favorite summer reads of 2016 and possibly my favorite book hero.

#OutOfBounds

If you are like me and are a big fan of enemies to lovers trope then you are in luck because Out of Bounds has that and so much more. With the 2016 Summer Olympics approaching, what better way to kick off the summer games than a hot, sexy romance between a coach and his student.

 photo 988d960e54ba354cd1ff1519543ac3_zpscqekbzex.gif“From the first day I’d met Erik, we’d been at war. If we weren’t throwing knives, we were falling into each other’s arms.”

Brie Watson has only thing on her mind. To win gold. Nothing will stop Brie from pursuing that dream. Why gold? Well, as every Olympian strives to win gold for their country and to prove that they are the best in the world. Winning the gold medal is so much more than that for Brie. To win gold means more endorsements, sponsorship, and money that she wants to win in order to repay all the sacrifices that her mother did in order for Brie to get this opportunity to pursue her career in gymnastics. And nothing will stop Brie that is until she is informed that the team will have a new coach.

 photo 988d960e54ba354cd1ff1519543ac3_zpscqekbzex.gif“She wanted to be someone’s voice when they were beaten down, lost, forgotten—but now it was my turn to stand up for her. She deserved a better life and I wouldn’t let myself rest until I gave it to her.”

Erik Winter is a former gymnast whose career ended earlier from an accident. And right off the initial meeting with Brie, the sexual tension in the air was strong. The push and pull and back and forth banter between Erik and Brie could be felt and it was only a matter of time till the lines were crossed. Will Brie and Erik discover that stepping out of bounds has it’s consequences? Or will Brie discover that she might be winning more than gold?

 photo 988d960e54ba354cd1ff1519543ac3_zpscqekbzex.gif“He was a sweet poison and I was so addicted, I didn’t care that our encounters left me choking for air.”

Rachel Grey is one of those authors who deserves to be on the spotlight and so I will take this opportunity to praise her for her flawless, smart, and magnetic prose. Rachel, I think it’s time for your moment to stand on the pedestal and here’s why. This book is by far one of the BEST SUMMER SPORTS ROMANCE THAT I HAVE READ. Out of Bounds had passion, lust, perseverance, dreams, sacrifices, and loved integrated into a story line where raw emotions were running rampant. The push/pull and hate/love was the driving force that catapulted this story onto a whole new level as readers got to see Erik and Brie in a whole new light. So if you are looking for a book that had heat, steam, passion, and sexual tension then I would highly recommend that you read Out of Bounds as R.S. Grey has executed the perfect landing as she delivers an unforgettable summer romance.

There is something about small town romance that has a way of capturing my heart. Maybe it’s the simplicity of the story, the raw heart-tugging emotions, or maybe it’s Laura Trentham beautiful prose. Well, it was all of the above.

Till I Kissed You by Laura Trentham is the third installment to the Cottonbloom Series and this time around Trentham continues to charm her readers with a second chance romance story line. Trentham continues to steal my heart and of her readers with her tangible, palpable, raw characters and stunning prose.

Right off the opening pages, readers are immersed in the push and pull relationship of Regan and Sawyer. The chemistry and sexual tension between these two could be felt and it was only a matter of time till these frenemies found themselves rekindling the love that they shared in the past. I love the underlying message that Trentham sprinkles throughout the story of love, forgiveness, and trust. And as Regan and Sawyer worked through their past and present, Trentham took her readers on a journey where emotions runs deep just like the river in Cottonbloom and where friendship and love are meant to go through their ups and downs but most importantly the loved shared between Regan and Sawyer were meant to be sticky and sweet like molasses.

Till I Kissed You is a love story that is full of heart, honesty, vulnerability and compassion. This is a love story where love is pure. This is a story where emotions runs deep and love transcends time and social status. So if you are looking for a love story that is brimming with beauty, second chances, and passion then I highly recommend you to read this book.
