What I Read Last Week

I read 9 fabulous books this week! From paranormal to small town to bully to sports romance, it was a phenomenal reading week. Plus I squeezed in a couple short stories that I found on Prime Reading. I love browsing through Prime Reading to see if anything catches my eye.

How did I manage to read 9 books? Well it definitely helped that 3 of them were under 60 pages! Plus there was one novella that was only 94 pages. So having those added in helped me out a lot.

Did you see my anticipated reads post that went up last week? If so, then you'll notice that four of these books were listed there. If you're curious about the tropes for these books, they are mentioned in that post.

What did you read last week? Any favorites? Any misses? What's on tap for this week?

Happy Reading,
Laura

Single and Ready to Jingle by Piper Rayne {a review}

He’s a real life, living and breathing Scrooge. And if he wants me to help him, he’s going to need to get some Christmas spirit. We’ll start with the mistletoe.

The fantastic writing duo, Piper Rayne, have just released a holiday romance called Single and Ready to Jingle! I read an early copy and it was so freaking adorable. Major Hallmark and Lifetime vibes for those who watch those holiday movies. Plus it features on of my favorite tropes!

My rating for Single and Ready to Jingle:

I've really been enjoying putting my reviews together as random thoughts/stream of consciousness. It allows me to say what I need to say, but not expand and potentially give spoilers. 

• This book was such a cute holiday read!
• THAT MEET CUTE! Oh my word I was laughing.
• I need a visual on that outfit! I can only imagine the looks.
• Loved that these two were such opposites when it came to Christmas.
• Loved how Andrew wanted to make everything right for Kenzie, and was encouraging her.
• Loved the dates they went on. I feel like there was only one "holiday type date" that they missed out on.
• The conflict/drama wasn't what I expected, but given what we learned earlier in the book, it totally makes sense.
• The ending was not what I was expecting, but I am glad it ended that way.
• Piper Rayne continues to create characters and write stories that I fall for.

Is Single and Ready to Jingle on your TBR? Did you preorder it? This book is going to be a good one to read during December!

Happy Reading,
Laura

The girl who loves Christmas falls for the Grinch—it’s a Christmas miracle.

What started as a dumpster fire of a blind date turns into a deal.

In truth, it probably didn’t help that I showed up dressed like an elf but that’s a story for another time. Our start was rocky at best which is why it’s so frustrating that I can’t stop thinking about his sexy British accent. Or the way his chest and arms fill out his suit. Or his perfect hair with that single streak of grey at the front.

Santa likes lists and so do I, so here’s all the reasons why Andrew and I aren’t right for each other:

He’s my brother’s best friend
He’s the biggest grump I’ve ever met.
He hates Christmas.

That last one is big for a girl like me who thinks that the entire month of December should be a national holiday. So, when he calls for my help in planning his firm’s holiday party, I can’t pass up the opportunity to grow my small business. Bonus, we make a deal, and he agrees to attend three holiday events with me so I can make him fall in love with Christmas. As if I’d pass up an opportunity to make a Grinch’s heart grow three times its size.

It isn’t long until I discover Andrew has a very real reason to hate Christmas and I start to see him in a different light. That’s when the Christmas miracle begins.

False Start by Piper Rayne {a review}

I’d love to say I’m above it all, but the truth is, I admire him too. I just do it from afar.

Did you hear that Piper Rayne has a new football series kicking off later this year? It's true! The series is called Kingsmen Football Stars. We've already met one of the members of the team in My Scorned Best Friend. Yep, Xavier Greene is on the team, and we are about to meet his teammates.

But did you also know that Piper Rayne has released a prequel novella to set the stage for You Had Your Chance, Lee Burrows? They did! That novella is False Start. Now do you need to read this prequel before the full length novel? No, but it might be a little helpful to have the backstory of Lee and Shayna.

My rating for False Start:

 
In False Start we are headed back to college. It is there that we find out Lee is struggling with one of his classes, and he needs a tutor. It is then that Shayna and Lee officially meet, and a schedule is set to work on catching Lee up in class. From that point on a friendship of sorts builds, and then comes the attraction. There's more though, and it involves a bet. Sigh. 

Lee rubbed me wrong in this book, and I found myself wanting to smack him upside the head. Along with a few of his teammates. But here he is this amazing football player who is doing what needs to be done to stay on the team, and secure his future. As for Shayna, I related to her in a lot of ways. She's quiet, but she's passionate. She loves with everything she has, but when you've done her wrong, she won't put up with it. 

This prequel has me even more ready for You Had Your Chance, Lee Burrows! Getting to see how Shayna and Lee's story began? YES! Bring on the second chance romance with the hate to love, and enemies to lovers tropes. I am freaking here for it.

Is it the end of December yet so I can see how these two find their way back to each other?

Are you going to read the Kingsmen Football Stars series? You know I am! After all it's sports romance, and it's a series written by Piper Rayne. That duo knows how to write a steamy rom-com that also has emotional moments added to the storyline.

Happy Reading,
Laura

The start of Lee Burrows and I was a college girls' biggest fantasy.

Campus' most popular guy, the starting quarterback, the same guy I've crushed on forever, notices me—the quiet introvert.

Although, he never would've noticed me if he didn't need my help passing our biology class. I didn't think I had a chance with him until he started flirting with me and asking me questions like, "Who was the guy you were talking to?" and "Do you have a boyfriend?"

It took a few tutoring sessions before we ditched the library to "study" at Lee's apartment.

It was a fantasy come true until I found out the truth and vowed that Lee Burrows would never get another chance with me again.

My Brother's Forbidden Friend by Piper Rayne {A Review}

My first crush on a boy started when I was five years old, after I'd caused my mother's death.

my rating

If you've been around for a while, you know that I absolutely love The Greene Family series from Piper Rayne. These two have created this amazing small town called Sunrise Bay which is located in Alaska. In this town there are numerous businesses, all of which are owned and operated by residents. When you're reading, you can almost imagine this picturesque community. Then you add in the community members, and it just feels like a place to call home. If you haven't read any of the Greene Family books, Hank and Marla are the parents. They married many years ago, and brought together two families. Think modern day Brady Bunch, or a Yours Mine Ours situation. Times haven't always been easy for the family, but together they make their way through the good times, and the not so good moments. As this series progresses, you really see how the family grows, their connection deepens, and healing occurs. For you see that healing is very important. When you lose a parent through death (or divorce), there is grieving that has to occur. That being said, our characters have pretty much all buried that heartache, that pain, those emotions, and so these stories bring that out, and they find their healing moments.

Chevelle Greene owns and operates her own little fishing charter business that has a slip at the marina Cameron's family owns. Cameron's dad recently came up with an idea to open a charter of their own that is of course more impressive, and very much higher end. This ends up creating a bit of conflict at the docks, as Rowdy is already struggling to make ends meet, and Chevelle is doing okay, but now with a third boat, it's going to be rough. Cameron and his dad are also not getting along, and he's decided to essentially upend Cameron's life for a bit. The goal is to show Cameron how good he's got it, and to wrangle him in a bit. Cameron goes through the motions of the day to day life, all while living with Chevelle, and keeping his side hustle a secret. Slowly but surely the forced proximity to Chevelle, and their history together, begins to blur the lines of their relationship. 

My Brother's Forbidden Friend hit a bit harder than the other Greene Family stories. Chevelle has been carrying this guilt for so long, and just burying it down deep. Everything that happened with that storyline just had me a bit weepy. Cameron's situation also showed the issues he is dealing with when it comes to his parents, the family business, and their feelings of jealousy. It was the moments with the Hank, and the Greene children that really hit me emotionally. To see them come together, supporting Chevelle, and finding what they did just really brought it all full circle. Healing has begun.

After watching these two dance around each other for so many books, I am so giddy that Chevelle and Cam got their happily ever after. Cam may have already felt like family to the Greenes, but now he's really solidified his role within.

Cam really impressed me throughout the story. I thought that situation with his dad would have done a number on him. Instead it pushed him in all the right ways. Cam came out stronger, and with a partner by his side. I was also a bit nervous about his friendship with Fisher (Chevelle's brother), and how this relationship might cause issues. Thankfully Allie was there to buffer the emotions, and bring a bit of lighthearted comedy.

Oh, and that cameo toward the end of the book? I love it when Lake Starlight and Sunrise Bay come together for a scene or two. 

My only complaint for the book was that there wasn’t enough of the Grandma trio. 😂 I just love those ladies. But I also know that they are getting older, and it has me nervous for Rylan and Calista's story. I'm worried that one of the ladies might no longer be with us, but I'm also curious to see how Piper Rayne handles that situation.

Our Couple:

• Cameron Baker
• Chevelle Greene

The Tropes:

• Blended Families
• Brother's Best Friend
• Forbidden Love
• Secret Romance
• Small Town
• Will They or Won't They

Locations: 

• Sunrise Bay Alaska
• Winterberry Falls Alaska

This final full length book in the Greene Family series was one of my favorites. The storyline, the characters, the emotions that played out, just all of that came together to create this delightful story. Chevelle and Cam's story is one that I won't soon forget. 

Now I can begin to count down the days until A Greene Family Christmas releases! That novella will signal the official end of the series, and I'm not ready to say goodbye. Thankfully Rylan and Calista's story will allow us to reconnect with both the Bailey's and the Greene's. I am so ready for that one!

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on My Brother's Forbidden Friend. I hope you'll give this book a read, and fall for the characters like I have.

Happy Reading,
Laura

I’ve gone from crushing on my brother’s best friend to wanting to crush him.

Cameron Baker and I have a few things in common. The first being that we were both born and raised in our small Alaskan town. Second, is that we hide our feelings and keep our hearts closed off from anyone who could break them.

But hiding my feelings is harder to do with Cam than most. When I was five years old, grieving the loss of my mother, he showed me how big his heart is, and I’ve never forgotten.

He comes from the richest family in town. Cam’s bad boy gorgeous, flirts like he has a Doctorate in charm, and he’s my brother’s best friend. That last part is where it gets tricky and the sole reason we’ve never crossed the line.

Now, his parents have cut him off to force him to prove himself. I never thought he’d open a competing business to mine. So, I do what I do best, shove all my feelings aside and ready myself to crush him. Game on.

Offside with #55 by Piper Rayne {a review}

Offside with #55 by Piper Rayne is officially available! This final book in the Hockey Hotties series will draw you in with the forbidden workplace romance, and intrigue you as you meet Kane's brother Lee. You see Lee has a book of his own coming at the end of 2022, so this was the perfect time to introduce him!

It's so hard when a series ends. Especially when it is one you are invested in, and find yourself craving more of the characters. Yet the time has come to say goodbye to the Florida Fury. So what better way than for Jana to take ownership of the team, and fight her attraction to the new head coach (aka Kane). You see these two have had a secret fling going on for a bit, but with these new roles at work, something needs to change.

Jana and Kane caught my attention a couple books ago, and my curiosity was piqued. Both of them come across as interesting characters, and I was interested in seeing how they were together as a couple.

Their story pulled me in as I love a good forbidden workplace romance. From the forced proximity to the friends with benefits relationship to ignoring what is right in front of them, this book held my attention. Now, was it my favorite out of the six? No, it wasn't. BUT it was definitely towards the top of the list.

This book was also a nice launching point for the football romance series that is coming at the end of the year. Lee has my attention, and I'm finding myself wondering how his story is going to go, and if I will fall for the characters in this new series.

Also that epilogue? Hit me right in the feelings. I actually found myself tearing up a bit. Ahh memories. 

I will say it here and now, I am crossing my fingers that we revisit the team, or another team within the league. I am also crossing all the things that we will finally get Tweety and Tedi's story. I need to know all the things about them. I just do.

The Hockey Hotties series has had it's ups and downs, but throughout it all, I have found myself warming to the characters, and falling for their stories.  I'm sad to see the series end, but I am also ready for football!

Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts on this book, and the series in general. Go pick up a copy of Offside with 55, and get to know Jana and Kane. (and catch up with all the other couples)

Happy Reading,
Laura

  

The last thing any professional hockey player wants is to be the old man in the game. The guy who doesn't know when it's time to retire. Still, I can't bear the thought of leaving the game.

This past year I've reflected on all my regrets, and I told myself that once I retire it'll be the time to settle down and start a family. But this is where it gets tricky.

I think I've found her—my Mrs. Although she'll deny our connection to anyone who asks. We've been sleeping together casually and since I'm still playing hockey, I've let her get what she wants—me—whenever she wants.

After being told my career as a player is over, the owner of Florida Fury grants me a shot to stay in the game. A coaching position I didn't know I wanted until it was offered. The catch? He's also passing the family business down to his daughter.

Who's his daughter?

The woman who's been in and out of my bed for the past year. Which means the woman I intend to make my wife is now my new boss.

A Greene Family Vacation by Piper Rayne {a review}

If you're like me, and have fallen head over heels with the Greene family, then you need to read this novella! A Greene Family Vacation has us catching up with the family while we wait for Xavier and Clara's story to be released. The family has packed their bags, and SOME of them are headed to Hawaii. There are a few people staying behind, and once you read the book, you'll understand.

Recapping this book is near impossible. There are so many people involved, and so many various storylines. I am almost positive that if I were to even attempt to recap this book that I would unintentionally provide spoilers.

Here's what I can say...we were provided a bit more information about the three upcoming stories. We see bits and pieces of Clara and Xavier's story being revealed, and that book is going to be explosive. There is so much pain and heartbreak involved, as well as a friendship that has been decimated. Right about now, Xavier is making me angry. Uh, that man.

Then there was a piece of information about Mandi's love interest thrown in. Which leads me to believe that another spin off is coming, and we will be headed to Graywall. This also goes hand in hand with another key player. Oh, and have you seen the cover for My Fake Fianceé? LOVE.

Finally there is the storyline between Cam and Chevelle. Ooh, hello brother's best friend trope. I see you. I can't wait to read you. Hawaii was good to them both, and ooooooh there story is going to be steamy.

So while we learned those future book tidbits on vacation, we also caught up with the majority of the Greene family members who have had their happily ever afters. There is at least one secret being kept. My gut tells me there is more, and I was just too focused on the one. A re-read might be in order to see if I missed anything.

Honestly, for me, the only thing this vacation was missing was more chaos from the Grandmas. Ethel, Dori, and Midge bring the hilarious moments where ever they go, but they also push buttons. It is those moments that have me loving the story that much more. However their interactions weren't as grand as usual. So that was a bummer. I also found myself really frustrated with the Greene "kids". The way the Grandmas were "handled" irritated me. Just no. NO. Grrr Argh.

Speaking of those Grandmas...I would seriously read a book solely about them and their antics. Not only that, but origin stories. How they met their husbands, and that whole romance scene. I'm here for it. But that's just me, and my love of those 3 ladies.

I loved everything about this novella. If you enjoy The Greene Family series, then this is a must read for you. Come catch up with everyone, and find out what is going to happen in future books. It's completely worth it.

Now my pipe dream would be for the Baileys and the Greenes to have one large get together. We'd get to catch up with both families, and witness all that interaction. Maybe that will happen when Rylan and Calista finally get their story. We all know that story is coming at some point.

Thank you for taking the time to read my random thoughts about A Greene Family Vacation.

Happy Reading,
Laura

My Fake Fiancé by Piper Rayne {cover reveal}

Piper Rayne has just revealed the cover for My Fake Fiancé! This is the 8th full length novel in the Greene Family series that takes place in Sunrise Bay Alaska. Mandi Greene will be our main character in this installment, and I am curious to see where this goes. I think I know who her love interest is going to be based on previous occurrence in a book.

So if you are someone who enjoys small town romances, a large family who is all up in your business, and falling for your fake partner, then go preorder this book! I know I have!

Also save the date for August 23, 2022, as that is when My Fake Fiancé is releasing.

I never felt truly desired by a man—until him.

My sisters are always the ones who catch a guy's eye at first sight. I'm used to attracting guys because I'm funny, or kind, or have a beautiful face. Never has my curvy figure drawn the attention of a man as hot as Noah.

But the second he stepped foot into my small town Alaskan inn, his gaze swept over me with desire, igniting a flame I thought was dead. He flirted with me, and I might've left two chocolates on his pillow at turndown, but that's where it stayed.

Over the years, he's floated in and out of town while a friendship developed between us. Which is probably for the best because I'm not a one-night stand kind of woman.

Which is funny because when he propositions me to be his fake fiancé in order to end a family feud, it turns out I am the kind of woman willing to pretend to be the one he's in love with.

Second Shot with #76 by Piper Rayne {a review}

Happy Book Release Day to Piper Rayne! Second Shot with #76 is officially available. This is the 5th book in the Hockey Hotties series, and if second chance romances are your jam, go grab this one.

After reading Sneaking Around With #34 I was really curious about Cory and Ande's past. I had not read Tropical Hat Trick, so I didn't know what happened that week. Now though I at least have a general idea, and I will be going back to read that novella.

Witnessing these two go through everything they did to get to their happily ever after was an interesting ride. Especially that situation with York. Everything with York did not sit well with me, and she was definitely the villain in my mind.

I loved the connection that Ande and Cory had. How after that time together on the vacation, they both couldn't stop thinking about the other. Then reconnecting in Florida was just so good!

Piper Rayne has created a wonderful hockey romance series, and I am loving all the characters. I am looking forward to Offside with #55 when that releases! It is my hope that Piper Rayne continues writing hockey romance. Whether that's with the Fury or another team I just want more!

Hockey romance + second chance romance + a villain you'll love to hate = one fabulous read!

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on Second Shot with #76. I do hope you'll go pick up a copy.

Laura

My mom always said you don't get a second shot at making a first impression. I've remembered that my entire career. Especially since I'm one of the few black men who play professional hockey.

I'm calculated and respectful in the way I speak to my coaches, the owners, and the media. I've never taken a risk... until her.

I could blame it on the fact that for once I pushed away the pressure of my career for the ocean waves, the sand, and good times with my new teammates. But those are excuses because the minute I saw her at the airport, something lit up inside me and the best week of my life was spent with her in my bed.

After our week in paradise, we said goodbye, exchanged phone numbers and both assumed that unless one of us was flying through the other's city on the opposite side of the country, our vacation fling was over.

Then one night after practice I see her. She's here. In my city. Telling me she moved here for a job. If that's not fate tell me what is.

I've never wanted a second shot more than I do this time, but she's determined to leave what we were on the island we left behind.

My Scorned Best Friend by Piper Rayne {cover reveal}

I'm a little giddy right now.

Piper Rayne has just revealed the cover for My Scorned Best Friend.

This is Clara and Xavier's story.

If you've read the Greene Family series, then you know, YOU KNOW, things have been tense between the two. You know they are more frenemies than friends. But we don't know why. Heck the Greene siblings don't know. Well on July 12, we will all know what went down. We will all get to witness these two best friends overcome what ever issue they had, and FINALLY get together.

Cover Design: By Hang Le

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

 

Xavier and Clara kissing in a tree...

When your best friend growing up is a girl, that's the song your classmates taunt you with over and over again. But it was never like that... until now.

It's always been Clara and me. She's the only one who truly knows me. After I was drafted into the NFL and ended up the starting quarterback for the San Francisco Kingsmen, I begged her to come with me. But she had her own life and responsibilities back in our small Alaskan town, so I didn't fault her for staying.

We remained the best of friends despite the distance. I'd hang with her in Alaska during the off season, and she'd visit me in California while I was playing. Then, one night the lines blurred for the briefest of moments and set in motion a series of events that changed everything.

I'm not proud of the decisions I made after that fateful night, and I plan on making amends, because I need Clara back in my life. But not as my best friend--as my everything.

Sneaking Around with #34 by Piper Rayne {a review}

Have you been missing the guys from Florida Fury? Well the time has come to reconnect with the team! Sneaking Around with #34 is the latest addition to Piper Rayne's Hockey Hotties series, and it is quite the ride.

Going into this book I wasn't certain what to expect. Obviously there had been history between Imogen and Warner, but what exactly was it? Why was Ford so angry with Warner?

Well once I got started, I found that I couldn't put down the book. Sneaking Around with #34 featured two of my favorite tropes (second chance romance & brother's best friend). It also mixed in some hate to love, and I was here for it.

Warner and Imogen have quite the history! Now that he's been traded to Florida, and she is working for the Fury, they are being forced to spend time together. Especially since the team has plans for Warner, and Imogen is able to talk him into working with her. Ford and Warner are still at odds, and it is showing. Their teamwork is nonexistent, and it is frustrating for everyone.

Loved getting to watch Imogen and Warner find their way back to each other, all while hashing out what happened in the past. Turns out there was a lot more to the story, and another person had inserted themself into the relationship. Sneaking Around with #34 isn't just about Imogen and Warner though. Ford is very much a part of this story, and it was really interesting to read. Even more so when things were realized.

Absolutely enjoyed this book, and cannot wait to see how the next book plays out since we were able to see snippets of it being setup.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on Sneaking Around with #34. I hope that you'll go pick up this best friend's sibling, second chance romance book! Imogen and Warner are pretty phenomenal.

Sneaking Around With #34 by Piper Rayne is now live!

 

I have a reputation for being tight-lipped. You learn quick when you become a professional hockey player to be guarded with the media, so I've worked hard to cover up the mistakes of my youth.

But when I'm traded to the Florida Fury, where my ex-best friend is the starting right wing, I'm forced to confront my past. Ford and I have a lot of history, especially when it comes to his little sister, Imogen.

My heart still lurches in my chest when I see her.
My hands want to reach out and touch her.
My mouth wants to keep apologizing.

She's the only woman who ever made me want more. But she's also the one who fell victim to my most regrettable decision.

I'm not a believer in fate, but I must be back in her world for a reason. I've fought for everything I've gotten and I'm not backing down from what I know will be the best thing in my life.
