Audiobook Review: My Fight Song

Image
  Hockey is their game. Love is the rematch. Kaylee Jenkins thought she left the ice—and her heartbreak—behind in Minnesota. But transferring to Thatcher College means more than just a fresh start. It means crossing paths again with Tanner Bouché, the boy she didn’t pick years ago at hockey camp. Now he’s the Thunderblades’ captain, and totally not ready for the scathing editorial she’s about to drop in the campus paper about his team. But Tanner isn’t the cocky jock she remembers. Beneath the swagger is a leader carrying the weight of a championship team, and a guy who’s never stopped wanting the girl who got away. When fate throws them back together—Kaylee as the team’s manager, Tanner as her impossible-to-ignore captain—sparks ignite on and off the ice making second chances seem possible. And when her reputation is put on the line by the ex she once trusted, Tanner is ready to drop the gloves for her honor. But winning each other’s trust might be the biggest victory of all. My R...

Audiobook Review: Hearts on Fire

Image
  The plan was to fix up the farmhouse, sell it, and leave. Then I met Drew...and his cat Bodhi. I’m a stranger in this place. When a car accident nearly killed me, Mom took me away from my father and this small Texas town. Now, I’m back, and while everyone seems to remember the little girl I used to be, no one knows the woman I’ve become. That’s okay. I’m not here to reconnect or fix what’s broken between my father and me. I’m just here to fix the house I inherited, sell it, and go. Then I meet Bodhi, the three-legged cat who keeps peeing on my porch. And along comes Bodhi’s dad, Drew, the protective firefighter with rough hands, a smooth smile, and such a dirty mouth.

Audiobook Review: Wraith

Image
  If you want to make trouble, you’ll have to make it past Wraith first. Wraith has a knack for spotting a brawl long before it happens. Getting on his bad side is definitely not recommended. When his eyes linger on a deliciously curvy woman, he’s instantly concerned by her attempts to blend in with the crowd. Who taught this special treat to react with fear? Caroline Sweets wants to be anywhere but at the biker bar. She’s there doing research for her latest romance novel. Surely, the popular MC romance genre will be her key to fame and wealth. If only that burly biker didn’t check all her own boxes for a sexy leading man. The members of the Devil Daddies MC will risk all to secure two special acquisitions and women with a Little side. My Review Wraith is a big presence. I knew it was only a matter of time when he tracked Caroline in the bar. No slow burn here. I mean Caroline and Wraith's second interaction involved a kiss. It was not long afterwards that these two hooked up. Just...
