  What to expect: 🏒 Hockey Romance 🤫 Fake Dating 📚 Tutor x Hockey Player 🧡 Found Family 🤗 Reformed Playboy 👀 Forced Proximity 🌶️ Spicy 😇 Virgin FMC Staten Renault is the epitome of all things nerdy.

  I’ve always wanted to be stalked. Turns out, I already am. Signing that contract was supposed to give me control, masked strangers, the illusion of danger, and a fantasy I could walk away from. Except the men who answered weren’t strangers at all. They chased me through cemeteries, cornered me in libraries, and left notes on my pillow while I slept. I thought it was a game I controlled. Then the masks came off. They intercepted my contract. Hacked the website and manipulated everything to make me theirs. One of them has been watching me for months before I ever signed anything. I should run, scream, or at the very least feel violated. Instead, I feel alive. Because while the rest of the world wants me polished and perfect, they want me to be theirs just how I am. And the most terrifying part? I want them too. My Review: Yes! This is the second book I have read in this series. I am hooked. A signed contract. Three obsessed/unhinged men. An FMC that wants to be chased. Yes, yes, an...

  I’ve only ever loved one man: Hollywood heartthrob Griffin Stone. In high school, Griffin was hot jock Mr. Popular, while I was the dorky science nerd who tutored him. Now, ten years later, I’m a leader in space technology and a newly-minted billionaire, and apparently I’ve stepped through a wormhole to an alternate dimension because Griffin freakin’ Stone just admitted he’s always had a crush on me. He thinks  I  rejected  him . Can time heal old wounds and bring our stars into alignment? Wishing Upon a Star is a billionaire, Hollywood second chance novella. My Review Things seemed innocent at first between Scarlett and Griffin but then the chemistry heated up. Griffin is the example of nerd turned sexy man candy. Yes, I said "man candy".  I enjoyed the interactions with Griffin and Scarlett.  Ahh, what a fun, steamy, quickie read. If you like engaging characters, good storyline, with sparkles of spice and Buffy the Vampire Slayer trivia, you will want t...
