  The first time I set foot in Fire Chief Declan Everhart’s small town he declared me trouble. Maybe it’s because I’m a pop star hiding in his house for the holiday season. Or maybe it’s the way I can’t help but tease the grinch. More than likely, though, it’s because his best friend Cade touched me right in front of him, lighting a fire so hot it threatens to incinerate us all. Now I can ’ t keep my hands to myself . Cade is famous for being the playboy assistant coach of the Boston Bolts, a man only out for a good time. But I know what we have is  rare. Cade wants me, Declan wants me, and Declan would be a bad liar if he didn’t admit that some part of him wants Cade too. I've gone round  and round about these feelings. Can we really just say the heart wants what it wants, or are we just asking for more  trouble ? Author's Note: Trouble is a grumpy/sunshine holiday MMF romance. My Review I like the combo of these three together. Cade and Declan are opposites. Cade has a bubbly

  A bad play shouldn’t cause a media meltdown but I’m Kyle Bosco and I’m a competitive jerk. So of course I couldn’t just shut up. Now I must atone for my comments. Somehow that includes working at a daycare with seven year old Piper who thinks I’m her best friend. But Piper is not the one who has me tied up in knots. That job is reserved for Harper Wallace- her mother. Harper is fierce, combative, and an irresistibly gorgeous single mom. If hating me were a sport, she'd be MVP. For reasons I can't tell you, she's completely off limits so I obviously should stay away. But hear me out? I'm a competitive jerk. I’m not the guy that rides the bench. I’d rather go down swinging and foul out than not play at all. My Review What a first impression Harper made on Kyle. Let's just say that she also did not make friends of the Boston Revs or her children, especially Piper. This girl is a walking/talking baseball encyclopedia of knowledge. She knows all of the players stats; I
