Release Blitz for Undeniably Enemies by J. Saman

 

Undeniably Enemies by J. Saman is now live! 

I knew better than to take my best friend's little sister's virginity at that Halloween party.

But in my defense, I didn't know how to say no. Or maybe I simply didn't want to.

She was my Cinderella and I was her masked villain.

Then I ruined everything. Twice.

Years later we're undeniably enemies, our hate for each other legendary.

Except I haven't been able to stop thinking about her. Or that night.

Only now she works for me in the hospital where she's a medical student and I'm an attending physician. Not to mention, without realizing it, I bought the apartment next to hers.

We try to keep things professional but when she learns the truth behind the secrets I've been keeping, angry sparks explode into a raging inferno of scorching touches and burning passion.

I know I have to keep my distance. She's all wrong for me. Too young. Too bratty. Too dangerous to the life I've worked tirelessly to rebuild. The one being with her would destroy.

The problem is, I've never wanted anyone more. And I don't know how to stay away for long.

Especially when I discover I'm not the only one keeping secrets.

Book Review for Two Minutes for Holding by S.L. Sterling

 

Title: Two Minutes for Holding

Series: Vancouver Dominators Book #3

Author: S.L. Sterling

Genre: Sports Romance; Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Hockey Romance; Teammates Younger Sister; Surprise Pregnancy; Cinnamon Roll Hero; One Night Stand Revenge

Release Date: March 25, 2025

Cover Design: Thunderstruck Cover Design

Knox stood across from me, anger in his eyes, his right hand in a fist ready to hit me. In that moment, as I stared at him trying to figure out what to say before he hit me, I wished I’d never walked into that little dive bar.

Actually, that wasn’t true because that was the night that changed my life forever.

That was the night I saved Knox’s little sister, Peyton, from making what I was certain was a huge mistake I’d figure she’d regret for the rest of her life.

We all had a code among the players on the team. We all looked after one another, and that included family members. So, when I saw some guy hitting on Peyton, I stepped in. I pretended to be her boyfriend to get rid of the guy who’d been hitting on her and when she turned those big hazel eyes on me things didn’t stop there. I bought her drinks, let her vent out her frustrations about the fight she’d just had with her brother and then one thing led to another, and she ended up wrapped up in my sheets.

A few months later, the memory of her and that night remains fresh in my mind and soon she is all I can think about. Thankfully, I get to see her again at the season’s end barbeque. Armed with good intentions, that is when I find out everything is about to change in not only my life but hers, including my friendship with her brother.

The guys on the team had always told me love would hit me when I least expected it, either that or I’d get a girl in trouble. I just never believed they would both happen at the same time.

My Thoughts:  Hockey romance is my current favorite, especially when well-executed. *Two Minutes for Holding* by S.L. Sterling nails it. There are tensions between Clay and Knox due to hockey code and Knox's sister. While Knox's actions disappointed me, I appreciated how Clay and Peyton handled the situation.

I've read the entire series and loved each book. Although they can be read in any order, reading them sequentially helped me connect with the secondary characters, who become main characters in other books and appear throughout the series.   

 

S.L. Sterling was born and raised in southern Ontario. She now lives in Northern Ontario Canada and is married to her best friend and soul mate and their two dogs. 

An avid reader all her life, S.L. Sterling dreamt of becoming an author. She decided to give writing a try after one of her favorite authors launched a course on how to write your novel. This course gave her the push she needed to put pen to paper and her debut novel "It Was Always You" was born. 

When S.L. Sterling isn't writing or plotting her next novel she can be found curled up with a cup of coffee, blanket and the newest romance novel from one of her favorite authors on her e-reader. Her favorite authors include Kendall Ryan, Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward, Lauren Blakely, Alessandra Torre and Willow Winters. 

In her spare time, she enjoys camping, hiking, sunny destinations, spending quality time with family and friends and of course reading.

Release Blitz for Loving Violet by Maria Esther

 

Loving Violet by Maria Esther is now live!

Who even believes in love at first sight anymore? Certainly not me.

At thirty-five, I thought I'd never find love and was perfectly fine with it. My life was fulfilling--running my own business and enjoying casual flings whenever I felt like it. But the day I went to pick up my favorite coffee and saw her behind the counter, everything changed.

I didn't know her name, her story, or if she was married. All I knew was that I had to make her mine. Later I found out that she comes with a lot of baggage. A single mom starting over in my small town, she wasn't ready for a new relationship. She also carried scars from her previous marriage, making her wary of trusting anyone again.

Yet, when have I ever backed down from something I truly wanted?

Violet is everything I never thought I would want. She is gorgeous, a devoted mother to her boy, and everyone in town loves her. I'm sure I am not the man she thought she would fall in love with, but I might finally get the chance to say the words I've never dreamed of... I want to spend the rest of my life Loving Violet.

Audiobook Review for The Girlfriend Zone by Lauren Blakely

 I had one date with Leighton McBride before I found out she’s the coach’s daughter. And now the only woman I want is the one woman I can’t have.

This sexy, coach’s daughter, one who got away, age gap, forbidden hockey romance brings all the feels, heat and spice! THE GIRLFRIEND ZONE is now available in all formats including the special edition hardcover and free to read in Kindle Unlimited. Check out the excerpt below and one-click your copy today!

About THE GIRLFRIEND ZONE:

In my defense, I had no idea the tattooed, glasses-wearing, soulful hottie I spent one perfect day—and one unforgettable night—with was a hockey star on my father’s team.

And Miles didn’t know I was the coach’s daughter.

That’s the point of a “no-work-talk” date.

But now? He's as forbidden to me as I am to him.

When I land a new gig as the team photographer, we vow to keep it professional. We mostly succeed…except for that time after a game when he couldn’t keep his talented hands off me. But I swear, it won’t happen again.

Too much is at stake—I can’t risk my heart or my father’s team.

But when I end up living at Miles’s place to care for his pack of rescue pups, the lines blur fast. Late nights turn into stolen moments and I discover there’s more to him than I ever imagined—a man who’s genuine, thoughtful, and irresistibly real.

He looks at me like he can’t believe his luck. Touches me like he never wants to let go. And listens to my hopes and fears.

My heart’s getting dangerously attached. But if I follow it… am I putting everyone’s dreams on the line?

My Thoughts:  I listened to this book and enjoyed hearing every word.   Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke are the perfect narrators for Miles and Leighton.  I could feel the sparks between them as I listened to the book.    The angst they felt at the thought of not being together tugged at my heart.   I wanted them to be happy and together.

Hockey romance is my current favorite trope.  I love a sexy hockey player and an off-limits woman.   Lauren Blakely (author) did a wonderful job of making these characters come to life with their flaws, their feelings, and their want to be together but also not cross any lines.  I enjoyed seeing them figure out their lives, while being respectful to each other and to the coach.  I could not wait to see what the coaches reaction would be when they finally came together.

READ THE EXCERPT:

Miles

I breathe out hard, giving in to the lust that grips me, the want I feel for her…my coach’s daughter.

For a few seconds, I freeze over those words—coach’s daughter. 

Don’t go there again. Get it together. Stop f*&king thinking of her.

But the dick is sometimes stronger than the will.

I ignore that voice because it doesn’t matter what I do when I’m home alone. It’s what I do when I’m with her that counts. I haven’t crossed the line again. And baggage or no baggage, we’re not going to be a thing. But her admission that she looks at the pictures too? It’s what I wanted. It’s what I needed. It’s also all I can have of her.

So what’s the harm in giving in tonight?
