Review

Ah man, Cody, how my heart reached for that guy.  Closed off, scared, unable to truly dream, I loved him and wanted to see that man smile.  


It was hard to see how things could work out between him and the optimistic and open Jude, the UK footballer. With one in Canada and the other in England, and both in professional sports, it seemed like they might be doomed, even though they so clearly needed one another.


Becca pulled it off in such a satisfying way that makes you smile and feel warm inside. And Cody meeting Jude’s teammates - had me grinning.

Synopsis

From USA Today bestselling author Becca Steele comes a new standalone MM sports romance set in the Love the Game universe.


When my Premier League season comes to an abrupt end thanks to an injury and subsequent transfer to another team, I decide to surprise my brother by flying out to Canada to catch him in the NHL playoffs.


I never planned on sleeping with a man for the first time on my very first day in Calgary. A man who turns out to be my brother’s grumpy, antisocial teammate.


I never planned for it to happen again.

And again.


We’re professional athletes. His life is in Canada and mine is in the UK.

I know there’s no future for us. So why can’t I make myself stay away from him?


Love the Game is an MM sports romance shared world, and features books from Willow Thomas, Becca Steele, Jodi Oliver, EM Denning, Becca Seymour, Becca Jackson, EM Lindsey, and Cora Rose.

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series.

He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...

REVIEW: Once Upon a Second Chance by Davidson King (Once Upon a Holiday Story Series)

  ONCE UPON A SECOND CHANCE Once Upon a Holiday Story Series by Davidson King Release Date: November 15, 2024 Review What a wonderful holiday romance. Small-town vibes, two really great guys, a little hurt comfort, an age gap, and a lot of tenderness. Aaron - a young man who’s known struggles more than he’s known safety and comfort and home.  Daniel - an older wealthy man with a heart of gold and deep ties with the small-town, but with the sting of lost love weighing on his heart. The tentative friendship, turned fling, turned so much more is sweet and patient. I love how important they become to each other so quickly and the healing they each help with. But equally beautiful was the town's role in their story. The common element to the series - The Hook’s Book Nook - is fun, though a small part - the two women who run it are wonderful, I would love a series about them and their travels.
