“Can we play some music, Daddy?” Sophia asks. “Like always?”

“Sure, princess. Let me get my cell out.”

“Daddy and me always play music when we make stuff together,” she explains. “Do you wanna pick a song Elsie?”

“Ahhh…” She swallows, tugging her brows, biting her lower lip as her eyes land to mine. She appears as though she’s about to burst into tears.

But why?

“How about we leave Elsie alone, okay princess?”

“No.” Elsie shakes her head. “I—I want to. Pick a song, if that’s okay. I don’t even know if they still have it, it’s—ahh…” Her eyes swell with tears, brimming around her lower lashes. “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard it.”

It’s then I foolishly realize that wherever she’d been, there was no music there at all.

I drop everything, going to her until I’m right in front, grabbing her hand in mine. “Tell me the name of the song, and I will find it for you.”

Her chin trembles a little as she clings her eyes to mine, and I could tell how badly she’s trying to keep herself from falling apart. My hand slides to her face, a finger forcing all that beautiful black hair away from her brows. And I’m doing it again, touching her like she matters. Her mouth parts, a breath stilling in her lungs as she inhales.

“‘I Won’t Give Up,’” she says. “By Jason Mraz.”

My hand falls to my pocket, and without separating from her gaze, I fire up the music app and speak the name of the song. Pressing play, the melody slips into the air and her soft smile grows.

“Thank you.” She sighs. And I almost want to kiss her. Too close to doing it.

“I’d ask you for a dance...” I trace my knuckles across the underside of her jaw. “But I’m about to burn our dinner…” My lips quirk up. “And the last thing I want is for my future wife to think I’m a bad cook.”

Her laugh is small, but what it does to my heart is damn right huge.

Natasha Madison's newest book Made for Me is out today! It's a spinoff from the Only One series, and when I say Chase and Julia's is not to be missed, I mean it. This book is the final one on my Best of '22 List. Check out my review here. 

MADE FOR ME

Natasha Madison

Release Date: December 27

From Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a brand-new stand-alone friends to lovers sports romance. A spin-off from the Only One series

Blurb:

Chase

Everyone expected me to play hockey. 

I was good at it, but I was better at being a doctor.

So I hung up the skates and joined Doctors without Borders

But there is no place like home, so now I’m back.

And instead of being on the ice, I’m behind the bench as the team physician.

After years of playing cat and mouse, it’s time to admit it. 

She’s mine.

Julia 

Working as a social worker was a dream come true.

It wasn’t easy, and it has made me shut off my heart to love.

No commitment. No strings. No promises.

Until one fateful night changed everything.

He was there for me like no other one.

The biggest thing is I let him. 

Maybe he was just made for me!

Meet Natasha Madison:

When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four-inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

I've never read a Maggie Rawdon book before this one, but when I saw the blurb, I knew I needed to sign up for it right away. I love, love, LOVE a well-done college sports romance, and I'm so happy I got the chance to read this one. Now I need to go back and read the first book in the series. Check out my review of Delay of Game here. 

DELAY OF GAME

Maggie Rawdon

Release Date: December 15

Blurb:

She wants lessons to end her wallflower era, but the only thing I want to teach her is how to be mine.

Olivia is my best friend and the one person who was there for me when I wanted to quit football freshman year.

We’re just friends. A fact I have to remind myself of every time I see another guy flirt with her.

She thinks I’m a nice guy. A good friend. Her grumpy protective “bestie”.

But what I really want? It would make her blush. 

So, when she tells me she’s tired of blending into the background and asks me to tutor her, I can’t say no. 

Even though I should, because my past means she’s the last person on earth I should touch. 

And with everything on the line right now—championships, the draft and our final year—I need her more than ever. 

So, when it all catches up with me in the worst possible way, I have to face an impossible choice—or risk dragging her down with me.

And this game is one I can't afford to lose.

Annie Dyer's newest book in the Manchester Athletics series is out now, and Jesse and Jerica's book is a steamy slow burn and I think my favorite of the series now. I love this author's writing, and despite not knowing a thing about soccer (sorry, I'm American), her books are always must reads for me. Dyer's characters are always deep and complex, and they're so easy to fall in love with. Read my full review here. 

TARGET MAN

Annie Dyer

Release Date: December 8

Blurb:

She’s out of bounds…

As the captain of Manchester Athletic, I know exactly what persona the media and fans need to see.

Everything else is behind tightly closed bedroom doors.

I didn’t have a pretty childhood. I’m all kinds of broken. The only relationships I have contain boundaries, non-disclosure agreements and safe words.

My best friend and teammate is one of the few people who knows about what I do in private.

My problem?

The one woman I think I can fall in love with - his sister.

Target Man is a steamy, slow burn with a bang, older brother's best friend, soccer sports romance, with a dirty talking hero who knows exactly how to take control. Be warned, one more chapter will keep you up all night!

Part of the Manchester Athletic series but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Luca is finally out! It's the seventh and last book in the series, and I'm so sad this set of books is over. I mean Winners has already started the next series and yes, I'm enjoying it, but Belles and Mobsters is the one that got me started on her books. I fell in love with it from the first book, and I'm going to miss it. Anyway, if you've been reading this series, then you already know that Luca's story is a must read. (Here's my review of it.) If you haven't, then I recommend starting with Luciano. It's the first in the series and oh-so good. (Check out my review of Luciano here.) 

Title: Luca

Series: Belles & Mobsters #7

Author: Eva Winners

Genre: Steamy Mafia Romance

Release Date: December 1, 2022

BLURB

Luca King.

The notorious playboy.

A master of one night stands.

My constant shadow.

Wherever I went, he was always there. Until he wasn’t. One wild night at a masquerade party was all it took. I got pregnant, broke my engagement, and failed my family.

The worst part.

I had no idea who the father of my baby was. I had only one clue. A Prince Albert piercing. Not exactly a smoking gun.

My parents disowned me after I refused to marry the prospects they presented. It wasn’t my fault I became gun shy. The last four men I met ended up dead. It was safer to have this baby on my own.

Our world was a dangerous one. And without the protection of my family... I was running out of time.

So it left me with no choice but to disappear, leaving no trace of where I went.

That was until Luca King found me at my lowest.

Maybe I should have tried harder to stay hidden because he would surely be my destruction.
