The Remingtons: Love on The Record by Zoe York

A few months ago Melissa Foster invited a few authors to join her in the Kindle Worlds, I have read almost all of them and I feel the need to post my reviews ;) Every day this week I will post a new one! Below is the first!! I'm very excited to share these lovely books with you. They are all short Novella's that can be read in one or two days!



The Remingtons: Love On The Record 
by Zoe York


For NYPD detective Griffin Sark, it’s lust at first sight when fashion reporter Tessa Ramirez crashes into his life. But she’s also featuring him in a puff piece that he hates from the moment he first hears about it, and criticizing a woman’s job is never a great way to land a date. Opposites attract, wills clash and hearts (eventually) melt in this standalone romance.


My Thoughts.

I can't say it enough... Zoe York has a way with words! Her books ALWAYS flow perfectly! She has the tact to reel you in, it's so hard to not finish her books in one sitting! 

Tassa Martinez is a cute little "Ninja", as Griffin calls her. She is a reporter trying her best to keep her job. she's lucky to finally get a break, and is allowed to write a front page story, but only because the original journalist has to have gallbladder surgery. This is Tessa's time to shine. & God, her boss is such a witch! The hunky detective got trapped into being an interview subject. Only later to find out the subject of the report is New York's Finest Under Forty. As you can imagine that might not go over too well. These two meet when Tessa literally runs into Griffin in a bar. Hmm, does meeting like thus make the interview process easier? I'll never tell! ;) The Character Development of this book is amazing, i can't get enough of the relationship these two share. It warms my heart! Zoe's characters always work a way into my heart, her books are amazing and if you haven't read her work, I suggest you do!

So, read along and enjoy the story of Tessa and Griffin.

Distorted Loyalty by Stacy Eaton




Distorted Loyalty
by Stacy Eaton

✪✪✪✪✪


The Blurb.


Emergency room Doctor Rachel Wilde and Detective Grant Murphy meet by chance and it takes only one glance and a simple gentle touch to ignite their senses. When Grant's wife is in a tragic accident, Rachel goes above and beyond the call of duty to save her life. It is the moment she faces Grant again that their lives begin to spin out of control and they realize the lives of their loved ones were deeply intertwined. The distorted loyalties of the ones they lost will drive a wedge between them and it will take another death, a last will and a look beyond the grave to find the path they must follow.



My Thoughts.



Holy Heck Stacy Eaton is a freakin' magician with words, They come to life in her books. I feel like head is caught in a vortex after finishing this amazing story. She literally ripped my heart out, shook it up in a blender, threw it on the floor and stomped on it. And then put it all back together again. (In a good way) Absolutely amazing! If you plan on reading this book ( I mean read this book) you better have an open schedule, because once you read the first line, first chapter, you will be so immersed you WILL NOT be able to put it down. Before I knew it I was in chapter 8, talk about a book leaving you timeless.
It really is a small world when it comes to people. I don't think many of us know how intertwined our lives really are with others. Our lives can already be interlocked years before we meet. It's crazy... and absolutely amazing!! When Rachel and Grant meet little do they know their lives are about to change, MAJORLY! Little did they know their lives have already changed. I can't really rehash this story because I do NOT want to spoil not one bit. You'll just have to read it and find out what happens because you will be flabberasted, you will get goosebumps, you will cry, you will be heart broken, but you will also laugh, and smile. This book is a perfect blend of emotions and I felt every single one of them. Stacy really has a way of capturing your attention from the get go. I fell a little in love with Grant, and Josh, Rachel's son, too. And my heart broke for Jazzy, Grants daughter but I would trade any word of this book. It rocked my brain, my heart, my soul. I couldn't have ask for a better story line nor characters. So, my word of advice, buy this brilliant story and me amazed for yourself! I guarantee you will Thank Stacy for writing such a remarkable book! Happy reading!

He’s gorgeous, he adores her, and the man stole her heart with his sexy singing voice. Mia feels like the luckiest girl in the world, until she discovers that Mr. Perfect is not Mr. Faithful. Mia is devastated. Everything she once believed about Declan and their marriage is now covered in a big cloud of doubt and regret. On impulse, she kicks the cheating bastard out, pushing them into a separation that could mean the end of the picture-perfect couple. 

But when Mia receives an invitation to her high school reunion, she finds herself abandoning the present for the oh-so alluring pull of the past. Although her heart still belongs to her husband, inescapable thoughts of her crush, Noah, resurface. And ten years later, Noah isn’t afraid to make his move. When the build-up of fantasies and ‘what ifs' comes to a head, sparks fly and it’s Mia’s turn to question if her marriage is everything she wants out of life. Searching for answers, Mia dives head first into dating Noah, falling further away from her husband and closer to her old flame. 

But Declan’s not giving up so easily. Mia is his one and only and he’s not about to let another man win her heart.

Searching for Tomorrow


 
   Searching for Tomorrow
by Kathryn McNeill Crane

Debut novel from International Bestselling author, Kathryn 'Katie Mac' Crane.

The Blurb.

Some people are blessed to find that one certain person who completes them. 

Wrynn’s yesterdays were what others only dream of having. She and Tripp were the best of friends before they even thought about love. They had the fairy tale life where ‘like’ turns into ‘love’, and ‘love’ becomes ‘happily ever after’... 

What happens when life conspires against you, and snatches your soul mate from your arms? 

… Only her forever love ended much too soon. 

Broken beyond her own ability to repair, Wrynn boxes up her grief and attempts to raise her three girls the best she can on her own. As time slowly passes, Wrynn relives her life with Tripp while struggling most days to get out of bed. She is reminded of him at every turn. 

How do you set your grief and anguish aside? How do you pick up the shattered pieces, put those pieces back together again, and try to move on?

Wrynn tries to find the joy in life every single day through her daughters, family, and friends. Her twin brother Liam has dedicated himself to helping Wrynn put her life back together after losing his own love. On the other hand, her mother-in-law lives to torment her at every turn. Wrynn can't even find a chance to breathe, much less a desire to somehow search for her tomorrow.


Genre. Contemporary Romance, New Adult, Military.


My Thoughts.
Searching For Tomorrow is the perfect title for this beautiful book. I read this with a friend as my first ever group read. It was amazing getting to talk about the book I was reading, and them actually know what I'm talking about. Kathryn Crane brought us a remarkable journey about loss, love, sacrifice, commitment, and joy. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when starting this book but I was extremely happy with how it all went about. Searching for tomorrow is exactly what Wrynn is doing. Living day by day in the best of her abilities. Getting to relive Wynn life with Tripp while also getting to experience her present life was my favorite thing about this book. Wynn best friend and soul mate tragically lost his life and now she's dealing with that loss while having to raise their 3 girls. Hearing stories from the past was a great bonus. When reading a book I'm always wondering how certain things ended up turning out the way they have, and with this book, all of my questions were answered.this was an amazing tale that left me with a book hangover. It just kept getting better and better, and I could not have ask for a better life for Wynn and her girls. This story broke my heart and healed it along the way. I felt like humpty dumpty to be completely honest. And i loved every minute of this experience. I really hope you pick up this book for yourself. Everyone should
experience a masterpiece such as Kathryn Crane's Searching for Tomorrow. ♡

My Thoughts.



*ARC generously provided for an honest review.

I absolutely adore sports romances, these ten wonderful authors did not disappoint. These were some of the best sports romances I've ever read.

Playing For Keeps- This was a sweet short read. A hockey player with a rowdy past and a reporter. What a mix. Colton is known for taking a different puck bunny home every night but when he's thrown into a team transfer can he change his ways? All he knows is that the sexy beat reporter makes him want to. This was a light short story. A quick read. The characters were perfect and the story line pretty good. It's enjoyable.

Racing Hearts - So, I have to start this review with the fact that I love stock car racers, my husband is one. ;) and when I realized there was a racing book in this box set I went crazy, because there aren't many romances about race car drivers. Racing Hearts definitely filled a void in my life. It was JUST what I needed!! Tom was unluckily at the wrong place at the wrong time when he was t-boned by a drunk driver. Now left with seizures after the accident he's not allowed to race. Which pretty much means life is over in his eyes. When his high school girlfriends little sister comes by offering a trained dog to help him though, he's in for an eye opener. Can Meg change his view on life after the accident? I loved Meg, she's a no nonsense, get off your but and do something kind of girl. She was the perfect heroine for Tom! This book included all that was needed. It was perfect for a short story!

Loved By The Linebacker- Lyssa Layne did a pretty fine job on her first alpha male, if I do say so myself. Evan is a man whore, simply as fact. A different girl to satisfies his needs is all he needs. By why can't he get his agent out of his head? Camila is a sports agent, like the best one out there, yes, even though she's a woman. It's a man's job but who cares? Because she certainly doesn't. Her best friend talked her into signing his little brother, ugh. That little brother being Evan, she's probably gotten in over her head with this one. Why does she want him? In her bed? It was fun getting to ride along for this love story for Evan and Camila. They were total opposites and I loved it. They were awesome characters and the story flowed spot on. 

Finding The Strength- Okay, first if all, let me just start with the cover. That thing packs a punch! It's powerful, it's beautiful and it speaks volumes! Tayla and Cam's story blew me away! I was engrossed the whole time and didn't want to blink, not even for a second.. When leaving the spa Tayla sees a handsome man at the reception. Counter, little does she know he's the man that'll save her life. Walking to her car from the spa, Tayla is attacked by a mugger. After thus grueling time she is talked into taking a self defense class by her best friend. She's a nervous wreck and not sure how to be strong, nor self confident. Cam never imagined having to save the beautiful woman he just encountered in the spa. And he never imagined seeing her again after the attack. But, that didn't keep him from wondering what shape she was in afterwards. Cam is a Tae Kwon Do black belt who had a rough past, Tae Kwon Do has improved him as a person. When these two are reunited it's a cheering match til the end. This was an emotional, sweet, and heart wrenching read. Another piece of art written by the lovely Stacy Eaton. This story also made me admire the strength of Tae Kwon Do. It's so much different than I thought it would be. I had really no clue what all Tae Kwon Do was, until reading this book. It's inspiring, that's for sure. I hope you enjoy this beautiful Novella.

Third Base-Adriana is a business woman who unfortunately lost her husband last year. They were both huge supporters for the Wounded Warriors project and Habitat for humanity. During her latest project Adriana meets Tomas, a baseball player. It's a story of Family trouble, dealing with loss, a jealous ex girlfriend, and unwanted sparks. I absolutely LOVE baseball. With that being said this story was not at all what I expected. It just didn't hit the spot for me. I really wanted it to, but sadly it didn't. I really hope this story brings more to you, than it did me.

Flawed- This book had me reeled in from the start, I don't know why, but whatever it was, it did the trick!! A bartender and a beach volleyball player. A man who needs money, a girl who needs to find what she loves. When Ariel takes a all exclusive paid trip to Ft. Lauderdale thanks to her sister in law she meets two hot volleyball players. One guy is obviously a player, exactly what Noelle told her to find while on vacation. And the other, quite, reserved, and someone she can't get out of her head. In away this book is about second chances, and when things go wrong and are taken the wrong way, it's all you can do to set it back on track. Reading this book left me with a smile on my face. And I didn't want it to end!

An Unforgettable Lesson- It takes skill to pull of a remarkable story, let alone a short novella. Mrs. St. Claire definitely pulled it off. This was my first book by her and certainly will not be my last. I'm not a golf person, unless you count putt putt golf. Lol. And honestly, when I saw the cover I thought, "oh lord, golf. How boring is this book going to be?" but, boring. It was not. Not at all! I loved Amelia and Huck and I think they were the perfect match. Huck decided he needed to learn how to play golf, for work related reasons. In order to show up a competitive Co worker. When he makes lessons to learn golf it all goes wrong at first. But when a snarky young Cajun golfer ends up helping out, golf turns out to be so much more than he thought it would be. The sparks fly in this one. And the banter is fun. You can't help but smile. I love that in a book! I hope you enjoy it!!

Body Lock- I was totally lost in this book, right from the start. Kimmie had me, hook, line, and sinker. And i loved every minute of it. I never knew what was going to happen next. That's the best thing about a good book. And Hot tamales, talk about a book boyfriend, Ford is Yummy! Sweet, Caring, brooding, strong, and everything Dakota needs in her life. Dakota was unfortunate to lose her fiance. He was everything to her. They met in a gym and it was instant interest. Now 9 months after that horrible incident she is trying to do anything she can for an adrenaline rush, sky diving, you name it! When her friend recommends she go to a gym, that's exactly what she does, an MMA gym. And that is where she meets the yummy hunk I mentioned before. You'll have to read it to find out more (: it's totally worth it, promise.

Serving Up Love- A Forbidden Desire, an ex pro Tennis Player, a Spoiled Rich Girl, a Demanding coach, this book has it all. Another one to hit the spot. I'm not much of a tennis player, unless we count on the wii. (: but this book was good. Very good. Ethan was almost killed in a car accident 5 years ago, which unfortunately made him lose his ability to continue as a Tennis Pro. So now he owns his own Tennis courts and coach's as much as he can. And he doesn't date his clients. Even though he might just want this one. Melanie is the spoiled rich girl, but she's so much more. And Ethan is about to find out all about it. I love that this book was about so much more than just tennis. I really enjoyed it! Especially the unsuspecting parts. Enjoy!

Played By Love- Ooh Rachelle, You are a wonderful writer. This book had it all. Nerds, jocks, deceit, lies, passion, and love what more could you want? Jaden is a soccer play, but  Ella has no clue. See, he's secretly a nerd, too. That's all Ella thinks he is. The chemistry is there right off the bat and it's comforting. I loved getting to know these two individuals. Jaden is all about the girl but can he be trusted? It's fun finding out!! I loved the story line and especially how everything happened at the right, or wrong moment. Another book to recommend to my friends!
