BLURB:

Thereโ€™s no faking it in love or hockey…

Transferring to a new school under false pretenses is harder than I expected, especially when my cocky new housemate, Callan Thomas, annoys me at every pass. Heโ€™s treated like a god and revered by everyone on campus. Too bad he made me feel like a rejected fool the first night we met.

But that doesnโ€™t stop me from accepting his offer to become his fake girlfriend, because he has skills that I need. Only Callan can help me improve my game and make the USA womenโ€™s hockey team.

I try to keep despising him, but he keeps proving my first impression was wrong. And the more time I spend with him, the more complex my feelings become. I need to tell him the truth about who I really am before anyone finds out and things go too far.

Problem is, I think they already have…

Excerpt:

Itโ€™s like the cap has been unscrewed from a bottle of soda, because inside me the fizz and excitement of talking with this beautiful and captivating girl bubbles through my blood.

I offer my hand between us. โ€œPeople call me Church. Whatโ€™s your name?โ€

She raises her eyes to me, extending her arm to place her warm hand inside my palm, where I gently cup it in mine. Sheโ€™s soft and warm and I know her prickly attitude is a defense meant to throw me off.

โ€œIโ€™m Aria. And Is Church your last name?โ€

I tip my head to the side, cocking an eyebrow. โ€œYouโ€™ve never heard of me?โ€

Most people at the school know who I am. Hockey is a big deal around these parts and the Moo U hockey team is royalty. Unless sheโ€™s new or a freshman, sheโ€™d certainly know who I am. And based on the statement on her tank top, she knows hockey.

By deduction, that must mean sheโ€™s new or lying, but I canโ€™t figure out her angle or what sheโ€™d gain.

She could just be messing with me as a joke. Maybe she was sent by one of the guys to prank me.

Aria shakes her head, some of her golden-spun hair spilling over her shoulder.

โ€œIโ€™m new to Burlington University this semester. In fact, I just arrived today.โ€

I laugh. โ€œWell, welcome. And please donโ€™t take this the wrong way, but I need to introduce you to one of the campus colloquialisms. Nobody calls it Burlington University. We refer to it as Moo U.โ€

She nods curiously, considering the validity of my suggestion, but then seems to think twice about it. โ€œYouโ€™re serious? Moo U? Huh. Weird.โ€

I let out a hearty laugh and raise my hands in surrender. โ€œI swear. Ask anyone. The school is well-known for its agricultural studies. We are in Vermont cow country. Surrounded by dairy farms and apple orchards.โ€

โ€œOkay, if you say so, Church,โ€ she says drolly, a hint of a smile around her full lips. โ€œSo, are you going to tell me why everyone calls you Church?โ€

I run a hand down my short beard, a reminder I still need to shave it off before the semester starts.

โ€œWell, as you may have guessed, Iโ€™m a hockey player. Starting center. And the name was established when I played in juniors, when a kid said playing against me was just liking going to church.โ€ I slap my hands together in a prayer position, giving her my best impression of a dutiful churchgoer. โ€œBecause when my opponents faceoff against me, they kneel and pray.โ€

She laughs in a fit of hysterics at this. Like seriously, full-on belly laugh, clutching at her stomach and throwing her head forward to her knees.

And I realize I think Iโ€™ve met my match.

How utterly inconvenient.

Moo U Hockey: https://hearteyespress.com/wotn#/moo-u-hockey/
Cover Design: Christine Coffey

BLURB:

She needs Prince Farming . . . but she got me instead.

Sure, lifeโ€™s been easy for me. Growing up in an oceanside house in SoCal, playing top-level college hockey, driving a luxury car with a generous allowanceโ€”sounds like the dream, right? Turns out what I didnโ€™t have was freedom. And when I decided to transfer to Moo U for my last year of hockey, my controlling father cut me off. 

No money, no car, no friends. Iโ€™m just another student struggling to make ends meet. The only place I can afford to live is the Meyersโ€™ farm, where Iโ€™ll work in exchange for room and board. Farm work is so exhausting that I donโ€™t even have time to wallow in the crappy turn my life has taken. Zoe Meyers is a hot blonde Amazon with all the energy of a chipmunk on crack. And her positivity is making me realize how lucky I really am, even though Iโ€™m broke. Too bad sheโ€™s not impressed by a guy who canโ€™t figure out which end of a goat to milk.

Because suddenly I want to impress her. I want to do a lot more with her too . . . if I can get her out of the barn and into my arms.

Excerpt:

โ€œIโ€™m the one who gets to take you home.โ€ Helen has reappeared with a full drink. Sheโ€™s swaying slightly.

โ€œI donโ€™t think you should be driving,โ€ Noah says.

Helen lifts one finger. โ€œCorrect. So youโ€™ll have to sleep over instead.โ€

Noah raises an eyebrow. โ€œThanks, but thatโ€™s not a good idea. Zoe, let me know when youโ€™re leaving.โ€

I check my watch. โ€œNow. Probably too early for you, right?โ€

โ€œNope. I like to get enough sleep during the season.โ€ He looks over at the bleary Helen. โ€œI guess we better take her home first.โ€

His level of consideration for Helen surprises me. โ€œOkay, Iโ€™m still parked at the arena, so we can drop her on the walk there.โ€

I say goodbye to Rocky, and Noah shuffles Helen over to the front door.

โ€œZoe,โ€ a voice calls out. Itโ€™s Martin. โ€œAre you going already?โ€ 

โ€œYeah. I live out in Shelburne, so itโ€™s a bit of a drive.โ€

He swallows. โ€œWell, um, maybe you can give me your contact info. I can send you my momโ€™s pickle recipe.โ€

Noah snorts, but I ignore him and exchange numbers with Martin.

โ€œIโ€™m sure Martin has a very impressive pickle.โ€ Noah starts in as soon as weโ€™re outside. Helen is on the other side of him. Sheโ€™s hanging onto his arm like sheโ€™s Tarzan and heโ€™s a vine.

โ€œHeโ€™s a farmer. Well, his family has a farm. Theyโ€™re converting from corn to soybeans.โ€ Stop babbling, Zoe. Gah.

โ€œThatโ€™s probably safer. Martin looks a lot like a stalk of corn. Wouldnโ€™t want a farm accident.โ€

I bite my lip to keep from giggling. Martin is thin and pale, and his light blond hair is unfortunately spiked at the top. โ€œYouโ€™re so funny. Not. I do want that recipe. Martin and I have a shared interest in canning.โ€ If I practiced for hours, I could not sound lamer.

โ€œMaybe a shared interest in caning would be more fun?โ€ Noah suggests.

I ignore him. People like to make fun of old-fashioned preserving methods but when itโ€™s time to eat theyโ€™re happy to enjoy them. And Iโ€™m trying hard not to wonder whether Noah has an interest in caning. Yow.

โ€œDo you know how hot you are, Noah?โ€ Helen pipes up. 

At least he has the decency to blush. โ€œUhh, no.โ€ 

โ€œItโ€™s true.โ€ Helen blinks at me. โ€œEven Zoe admitted that youโ€™re the hottest guy sheโ€™s ever met in real life.โ€

He grins and winks at me. โ€œIs that a fact?โ€

โ€œYeah, and she never finds any guys cute, soโ€ฆโ€ Helenโ€™s voice trails off before she can embarrass me further.

โ€œI also said you have the biggest ego of anyone Iโ€™ve ever met,โ€ I tell him.

โ€œBut is it ego if I actually am that wonderful?โ€ Noah asks. 

Helen pulls at his jacket. โ€œI have a question. Why do you wear so many clothes? You would look better in less clothes.โ€

While I agree with Helen in theory, I already know the answer to this one. Heโ€™s cold, and itโ€™s only September. By the time itโ€™s January, heโ€™s going to look like the Michelin man.

Noah doesnโ€™t even answer Helen, but sheโ€™s undeterred. She yanks on his sleeve until his jacket comes half-off. He swears and tries to get his jacket back, but instead, Helen pulls it off completely and totters away, swinging it over her head.

โ€œNo good deed goes unpunished,โ€ mutters Noah. While I should be sympathetic, Iโ€™m busy being transfixed by the gap of skin revealed at the unbuttoned bottom of his shirt. Is that a happy trail?

Noah notices where Iโ€™m looking and swiftly buttons and tucks in his shirt. 

โ€œShowโ€™s over,โ€ he says. Weโ€™re now at Helenโ€™s place. Noah manages to retrieve his jacket and get Helen safely in her apartment without being further molested. In no time, weโ€™re back in the car and on the road.

โ€œIโ€™m surprised you didnโ€™t jump at the chance for a sleepover,โ€ I say.

โ€œI prefer my partners to be fully conscious.โ€ 

I swallow and try to ignore the sudden spark in my lower body. Fully conscious sex with Noah would be both scary and amazing.

Blurb:

Sheโ€™s my sisterโ€™s best friendโ€ฆ

The night we hooked up was definitely the best in my life. But you know sistersโ€”they make things complicated.

So Maeve and I called it one and done, and for the sake of their friendship, we pretended it never happened.

Itโ€™s pretty easy to develop a routine. We joke around, make fun of each other. And I never let on that I know what Maeve looks like without her clothesโ€”or how often I think about it.

Iโ€™m starting to think we pulled it off when out-of-the-blue she sashays back into my jewelry store. The visit starts like normal. The banter. The teasing.

But then she invites me to a party. And what kind of gentleman would I be if I didnโ€™t walk her home after?

Letโ€™s be realโ€”Iโ€™m no gentleman. And Maeve is no lady.

The kind of teasing weโ€™re doing now is dangerous. This is fast becoming a frenemies-with-benefits situation. Itโ€™s complicated enough before my sister decides to set us upโ€ฆ with other people.

We can only keep our secret for so long.

Iโ€™m starting to think there might be a diamond in all this rough.

But Maeve never lets me have the last word…

Excerpt

We reach the entrance to the cathedral. The powerful organ reverberates through the floor. Every single personโ€”man, woman, and childโ€”stands and turns to face me. It would be so easy to flush. To let my heart pound out of my chest and the blood rush to my face.

Instead I lift my chin. I face them down with a calm expression. A Bradley at heart.

Only, I wonโ€™t be a Bradley for much longer. Fifteen minutes, give or take.

My father steps forward. I grip the sleeve of his tuxedo so tight he must feel it. He must feel my terror, but he doesnโ€™t seem to notice. He keeps walking, and so I do the only thing I canโ€”I follow his lead. I float down the long carpet covered in rose petals.

At the end of the aisle, my groom waits for me.

Francisco Castille, the exiled Duke of Linares.

I suppose I should leave the โ€œexiledโ€ part off. Itโ€™s probably a touchy subject in his family. I wouldnโ€™t know. Iโ€™ve never met anyone on the right side of the church. They move in European high society, while my family has been strictly New York City upper crust. This will be a merger of more than two people. It will combine businesses and connections. And, above all, this wedding will save my familyโ€™s entire world. Our livelihood. Our reputation. And the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of employees. So if my groom is as controlling as my brother warned, then thatโ€™s the price Iโ€™ll pay.

That is the price Iโ€™ve promised to pay.

Francisco wears a tuxedo, naturally.

Some men stand stiffly in them. He looks as if he was born in that tux. As comfortable as I might be in my favorite sweater and worn jeans. Itโ€™s the royalty in him, I suppose.

Black hair. Thick brows. A stern expression.

So far away. The cathedral has to be huge to fit the guest list. Walking closer is like coming into focus, seeing the brackets around his lips, the small slash in his eyebrow. A scar, perhaps. How did he hurt himself? I have no idea. Weโ€™re basically strangers.

We reach the end of the aisle.

My father moves my hand into Franciscoโ€™s grip.

Then weโ€™re left alone, two of us standing in a sea of people. About to be married.

โ€œFancy meeting you here,โ€ he murmurs.

Through the delicate satin of my glove, I feel his strength. His heat. Itโ€™s a comfort, even though I barely know him. I match his dry tone. โ€œI heard someoneโ€™s getting hitched.โ€

His lips quirk. โ€œA wedding, you say. Nothing too fancy.โ€

โœ๐Ÿป Professor Romance’s 5 โญ๏ธ Review: Saffron A. Kent’s A Gorgeous Villain โœ๐Ÿป

Overall Grade: โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

Have you ever read a writer who stylistically is so interesting? Their intentionality to their stylistic choices marks them in your mind with each of their stories. For me, one of those authors is Saffron A. Kent. And hereโ€™s the thing…I donโ€™t think many of her readers get that about her. 

What do they see?

  1. An author who writes indulgent New Adult romance. What that means is there is angst and dirty $ex in abundance in her stories. 
  2. A hero and heroine who inspire the type of feelings you love from New Adult romance: some pettiness, some unfiltered feelings, some insecurity. All of these seem like tenants of NA romance, and she infuses these easily into her stories. 
  3. Stories that seem enchanting. They might not deviate too far from the traditional NA romances – usually, itโ€™s forbidden for any of the many tropes available. But SAKโ€™s readers love the almost taboo nature of her stories. 

But what do I see and adore? What keeps me coming back for more? What makes me ravenous for her stories?

  1. There is an intentionality in her style that I donโ€™t think people get. She uses these simple sentences to bring a cadence to her stories. That cadence tends to mimic a โ€œstream of consciousnessโ€ feel in her storytelling. It suggests unbridled access to the thinking and feelings of her characters. Itโ€™s become a convention of Saffron A. Kentโ€™s stories, and her newest story, A Gorgeous Villain, does this brilliantly. 
  2. Her limited point of view drives anticipation. SAK loves to hide her heroes from her readers. She gives us small portions of them until they are revealed in full force. This creates a rabid devotion to them because you get so little of them or you earn them through the perspectives of her heroines that you find yourself wondering what they really feel. How can they really make that inciting comment to her heroine? In A Gorgeous Villain, SAK doles out Reed aka โ€œRomanโ€ in small doses. She also did this with the first book of the series, My Darling Arrow. You gorge on the story to get to the POVs of the hero because you need some reconciliation, some meaning behind Reedโ€™s actions. The intentionality of this choice makes you binge-read a story such as A Gorgeous Villain. 
  3. SAK has a type. When I was working on my masterโ€™s thesis, I envisioned a new hero for modern literature specific to gender. Like me, Saffron A. Kent creates the same heroic type in her stories: broken, misunderstood, possessive, and physically gorgeous. If you look at her reviews, and you review the negative ones, youโ€™ll find people who complain about the repetition of this. But again, itโ€™s intentional for her. Itโ€™s a precept of her romance. If they read close enough, they will find the differences. With Arrow, we are treated to the devastation of perfection. And with Reed, we recognize familial abuse and its devastation on Reedโ€™s developing character. Her readers who adore her recognize this in her heroes, and we fall deeply in love with them. My heart hurt for Callie and Reed equally. Most specifically, Reed has grown up in a world where love doesnโ€™t exist without him doling it out in actions. To love without being loved stunts a person. Only the action being loved can save them. 
  4. Her heroines are matched for her heroes. They deliver them from themselves, sometimes to their own detriment. Callie is selfless in her love and adoration of Reed. This creates an emotional journey that tips back and forth as the story progresses. SAK puts her readers through the paces with this story because it wouldnโ€™t be a SAK story without the emotional ups and downs of it. Again, some would call it repetitive, but it feels necessary as the journey is drawn. Reed has spent so much of his life living in fear of his father that it feels natural for him to resist growing into love. Thankfully, Saffron A. Kent allows us to take the journey with Callie and Reed. 

It took me a couple of days to write this review because there are so many words I have for A Gorgeous Villain: angsty, ebullient, dirty, ephemeral, and sweet. Each turn of the page culls more and more feelings from you. I found myself holding my breath, tearing up, and wanting to throw my Kindle at the wall through Callie and Reedโ€™s journey. But…thatโ€™s what I love, and once again, Saffron A. Kent has shown me why I adore her stories. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

โœ๐Ÿป Professor Romance’s 4 โญ๏ธ Review: L.B. Dunbar’s Living at 40 โœ๐Ÿป

Overall Grade: โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธ โญ๏ธ

L.B. Dunbarโ€™s Living at 40, the first book of her newest series, Lakeside Cottage, is an emotional journey about finding an abundant life. Her hero, Logan, and her heroine, Autumn, are searching without realizing they are searching. Both of them feel their ennui, but each has handled it in different ways: Autumn wants a child to provide the fulfillment she lacks in dating relationships, and Logan pours his focus into his child and his career to keep him from recognizing the lack in his life. When a life issue provides them with a different perspective, they find themselves drawn to each other. Realizing that he finds her attractive, Logan offers to give Autumn the baby she wants, while Autumn falls into the crush sheโ€™s had on Logan for years. Both of them engage in this journey without realizing the magnitude of their interest in the other. As the story progresses, they find themselves falling deeper when they both were trying to protect themselves against that. This story along with Dunbarโ€™s adept characterization makes for a story that insistently pulls at your heartstrings. For me, the ending of this story is Dunbarโ€™s masterpiece. It is the definition of bittersweet, and you will leave Living at 40 with tears in your eyes and a sigh in your heart. 

With all of that, though, I found the story to be a bit repetitive and inconsistent in its rendering. Autumn and Logan circle each other for much of this story, and for quite a bit of it, I struggled with liking Logan because his inconsistency punches holes in Autumnโ€™s heart. As Living at 40 isnโ€™t a dark romance, that was a hard pill to swallow. When Logan finally realizes his truth, their romantic journey becomes easier, but it takes much of this book for them to reconcile their love for each other. 

What ameliorates this issue, though, is their chemistry in the bedroom. Autumn and Logan are steamy. Additionally, the inclusion of other characters into the story along with a health plotline for Logan add more dimension to the story that pulls from the constant push and pull of Logan and Autumn. Thankfully, this allows for a distraction from the inconsistency of Logan and Autumnโ€™s journey. 

But really, the piece de resistance of Living at 40 is its ending. It is there where the entire story is reconciled in a way that will make you cry. There is both resolution and reconciliation, but itโ€™s done within the specter of sadness. And I loved that. We are so used to the happy endings of romances where everyone gets everything that they want, but is that real life? In this book, L.B. Dunbar reminds us that where there is life there is also darkness. Her finale felt poetic in reminding us to live the most abundant life no matter our circumstances. We can choose happiness even in difficulty. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

Two years ago, Reed Jackson betrayed Calliope Thorne and broke her heart. So she stole his most prized possession โ€“ a white mustang โ€“ and drove it into the lake for revenge.

Now, Callie is stuck at a reform school while Reed is off at college, living his life without repercussions.

Until he comes back.

With him comes back all the feelings that Callie has been trying to bury: anger and heartbreak.

But most of all, desire. At the sight of his beautiful but lying lips and his gunmetal gray eyes that still taunt and smolder when he looks at her.

Whatever though. It’s not as if Callie is ever going to fall for her ex-boyfriend again. Or let him corner her in a bar one night and touch her, kiss herโ€ฆ

Neither is she going to kiss him back. Or worse, sleep with him.

Because that would make her naรฏve and foolish.

Oh, and also pregnant.

And there’s no way Callie is ever going to get pregnant at eighteen and with Reed’s baby, no less. The guy she hates.

The guy who taught her all about heartbreak. Who might look like a gorgeous hero but really
is the villain of her story.

BLURB:

Is it an accidental pregnancy, if itโ€™s purposefully planned?

Autumn Kulis wants a baby. Itโ€™s that simple and that complicated because one thing stands in her way – she doesnโ€™t have a man in her life. And at almost forty, she isnโ€™t getting any younger. On a two-week trip to her brotherโ€™s lakeside cottage, a plan forms. Make a list of three men. Sleep with each of them. Allow nature to take its course. Only, a certain someone gets in her way.

Logan Anders goes with the flow of life. Divorced, single dad, he works hard, and occasionally plays harder. When his college roommate invites him to Lakeside Cottage for two weeks, he hadnโ€™t remembered his best friendโ€™s little sister being so hot. Nor was he a fan of her plan to find a baby daddy. Heโ€™s determined to make her list then tear it to shreds leaving him the only man horizontal with her.

When we were forty, we had so much life to live, and a simple proposition could be the start of a second chance at really living.

TROPES

*Brotherโ€™s best friend

*Childhood crush revealed. . . and acted upon.

*Purposeful pregnancy plan

*Four lifelong friends and shenanigans

When the lines of their arrangement blur, Presley and Sebastian are faced with decisions theyโ€™ve avoided for years. And thatโ€™s not even their biggest problem.

A small town in danger of failing.

A secret that could tear them apart.

And two hearts that canโ€™t hide anymore.

Theyโ€™ve shared so many summers, but none compare to what theyโ€™ll face.

Timing is everything.

And their time is almost up.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

Title: The Rookie

Series: Looking to Score

By Kendall Ryan

Release Day: July 20, 2021

About the Book

He has everything a man could want. A lucrative hockey contract. Adoring fans. A family who loves him.

But heโ€™s about to throw it all away. Logan Tateโ€™s name is dominating the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Instead of goals and assists, the talented young defenseman has been racking up fights and suspensions.

I work with athletes who are struggling, but Loganโ€™s different. Heโ€™s not just going to blow his season, but his entire career. And now he canโ€™t return to the ice until he deals with his issues, but the stubborn man wonโ€™t let anyone get close enough to help.

Which is why I packed up and followed him to his familyโ€™s property in the remote mountains of Colorado. He canโ€™t avoid me here.

The only problem?

I canโ€™t avoid him either. Heโ€™s chopping wood and building fires, rescuing my car from snowy ditches, and inviting me to Sunday dinners with his loud extended family. Heโ€™s a whole lot of man, but beneath all those hard edges is an unexpected tenderness.

Tempted or not, I have to stay out of his bed and get him back to the ice . . . no matter how difficult that might be.
