“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.

Meet Annie Dyer:

Annie lives in the north of England, not too far from the amazing city of Manchester. She is owned by several cats and many hens, narrowly avoiding being a mad cat woman by enslaving a very understanding husband. She’s an avid reader of many genres and if she’s not writing a book, she’s usually reading one!

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.

Title: The Game

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative

Model: Nicky John White

Release Date: January 16, 2023

BLURB

It started out like any other Tuesday.

I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.

Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.

Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.

Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.

But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.

It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong...sometimes they feel so right.

Ilsa Madden-Mills' newest release Princess and the Player is out now, and it's so much more than I thought it was going to be. I love sports romance, but this wasn't just that. There were some darker moments I didn't anticipate going into this book, and I think I liked the book all the more for those parts. Check out my full review here. 

Can this tormented prince accept love, or will he push his princess away forever?

Princess and the Player, an all-new neighbors-to-lovers romance featuring an NFL football player and a masquerade ball from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills, is now available!

A masquerade ball brings together an NFL player and a penniless princess in this smart and sexy romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills. 

Levelheaded Francesca Lane never thought she’d miss her own wedding. But when her fiancé betrays her, she puts on her wedding dress and ditches the altar for a masquerade ball—at an exclusive lifestyle club. There, she meets unknown-to-her NFL star Tuck Avery, dressed as a prince and hiding behind a mask—he’s there to celebrate his birthday. For one night, Francesca and Tuck indulge in a wickedly incognito affair. No names. No strings. And the masks don’t come off.

Unfortunately, Francesca realizes quickly that her masked prince is the wealthy jock who lives in the penthouse of her apartment building. His hobbies include parties and supermodels—or so the tabloids say. Getting tangled up with a shallow jerk is the last thing Francesca needs right now, so she vows to keep Tuck from recognizing her (not that she’s his type anyway).

But fate has a teeny-tiny trick up her sleeve…a plus sign on a pregnancy test. Can this tormented prince accept love, or will he push his princess away forever?

Fall in love today!

Eva Winner's newest book in her Belles and Mobsters series is out now, and all I can say is that if you love mafia romance like I love mafia romance, then you NEED to read this book. Sasha is every bit the nutjob the previous books made him out to be, but he's so much more, too. This is definitely my new favorite mafia romance. It's that good. See my full review here.

Title: Sasha

Series: Belles & Mobsters #6

Author: Eva Winners

Genre: Steamy Mafia Romance

Release Date: November 1, 2022

BLURB

Sasha Nikolaev.

The unhinged mobster.

Satan’s spawn with pale blue eyes.

I made him a promise years ago. Granted, I only made it so he’d kiss me. But it was a promise made nonetheless. So I waited.

And waited some more.

He never came back to collect. So I moved on.

Never would I have ever thought I'd see him the day I walked down the aisle.

Except there he was, waiting for me in the pews.

Sasha Nikolaev.

When he snatched me in the middle of the ceremony, for the whole world to see, shit hit the fan.

He claimed I had a debt to pay.

My family promised retribution. My fiancé did the same.

And now, nothing will ever be the same.

She didn’t want to go to college a virgin.

I said no, but she kissed me, and I was lost in her.
