JH Croix has just revealed the cover for After We Fall, and it is absolutely stunning! This is the sixth book in the Dare With Me series, and is all about Grant and Harley. After We Fall can absolutely be read as a standalone, so if you're not a series person, no worries.
Clear your calendars for August 30, 2022, as you are going to want to read this small town, sibling's best friend romance!

I made a deal with Harley Jackson. We’d burn that fire between us to ashes with a few nights between the sheets. Friends with benefits, but with a time limit. It turned out to be colossally stupid.
A few nights together only made the fire burn hotter. I was never supposed to fall for her.
Grant & Harley’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, daring pilots, sassy heroines, roommates who can’t get enough of each other, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, oozing with swoon, and one smokin’ hot protective hero.
USA Today Bestselling Author J. H. Croix lives in a small town in the historical farmlands of Maine with her husband and two spoiled dogs.
Croix writes steamy contemporary romance with sassy women and rugged alpha men who aren't afraid to show some emotion. Her love for quirky small-towns and the characters that inhabit them shines through in her writing.

Campus God, the fourth book in the Campus Series from Jennifer Sucevic, is now available! If you are someone who 1) enjoys football romances, 2) enjoys college romance, and/or 3) enjoys a good hate to love slash enemies to lovers story, then you need to go read Campus God NOW!
This is the second book in the Campus series that I have read. I had previously read Campus Hottie, and enjoyed that story. That being said, Campus God had me hooked from the very first page. I'm not going to recap this book, as the description gives you all the info you need. So with that, let's jump into my thoughts.
The hate to love between Crosby and Brooke was strong. Yes he was trying to keep his distance from her, and being an ass made it so she couldn't like him. Not to mention that Crosby is roommates (and teammates) with her jerk of an ex.
As the story developed though, you could see the true Crosby starting to make an appearance. He dropped the mask, and really started to show Brooke who he is. I loved that.
Of course I also fully enjoyed that these two had this online/texting relationship before anything developed in person. It was in those moments where Crosby shined. Yes, Crosby could have easily told her that he was the person she was texting, but it was a slippery slope.
The only thing in the story that I didn't care for was Brooke's mom. I didn't truly understand the dynamic there. I needed more backstory there to fully grasp the situation.
The moment of conflict pulled me in. I have fallen for these two characters, and was rooting for them the entire time. These two may have started off as enemies, but friendship was formed, and then ultimately a happily ever after occurred. I still want to smack Brooke's ex. That freaking man-child had me so angry. Crosby was there to soothe the pain that his "buddy" caused.
As their story wound down, I found myself looking at Asher. The setup for his story has drawn me in, and I look forward to reading that when the time comes. I have a feeling it's going to be a doozy.
Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on Campus God. If enemies to lovers, hate to love, or college romance is your preference, then please go download this book. It was so dang good!

Crosby Rhodes is considered a god when it comes to Western Wildcats football.
And who knows, he might just be one. There’s certainly no shortage of girls on campus who agree with the sentiment. They swoon over his pretty face, dark messy hair, and hard body honed from years of lifting and two-a-day practices. That alone makes him catnip for the female species.
Add a lip ring and surly disposition to the package and you can understand what all the fuss is about.
Would I be included in that majority?
Hell, no.
As far as I’m concerned, Crosby can eat shit and die. The guy is a major jerk. Not to mention, a pain in my assets. And that’s putting it nicely. For reasons I’ve never understood, he goes out of his way to humiliate and hurt me. His barbed comments are always a direct hit before exploding on impact.
I’d love to know what I did to elicit such hatred but that would involve conversing with him and I refuse to do that. There’s only one more semester before graduation. Surely, we can get through the next six months without coming to blows.
That’s the hope, anyway.
Which is exactly why I’m thrown off guard when my nemesis pulls me aside and suggests a truce. Do I necessarily trust him after everything he’s put me through?
Nope. For the time being, I’ll agree so there can once again be peace in the kingdom all the while keeping him at a firm distance. Except that turns out to be impossible. Everywhere I go, there he is. It’s like I can’t get away from him. More shocking than that, he’s actually being nice.
If stomping out the underlying attraction that constantly flared to life between us was difficult before, it’s all but impossible now. But that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I’ve been burned by one athlete, I’ll be damned if I allow it to happen again.

Tutoring the Player by Rebecca Jenshak is now available! This is the first book in the Campus Wallflowers series, and based on what I've read, I am going to be obsessed with this series. The heroines are relatable, and it is giving me flashbacks to the Hockey Gods series by Xavier Neal. (geeky/quiet/shy/introverted female + popular collegiate athlete)
Are you ready to head back to Valley U and meet up with a new cast of characters? I absolutely am. I first discovered this university when I read the Campus Nights series. It is from that series that the Wildcats Hockey series was born. And, well, I'm a bit in love with that series. Okay fine, I'll admit it, I love the Wildcats Hockey series because it's set in Minnesota. There, I said it. Not the point. Not the series I should be talking about. ANYWAY...We are back at Valley U. We have a group of 4 friends who are living together. All of them would be classified as wallflowers, and to me that's relatable. Next door to these ladies, is a party house, where a very popular person resides. The person who lives in the "white house" also happens to be the enemy of one of the wallflowers. But that info is for book 2.
As Tutoring the Player begins, we have Daisy watching the party happen, and wishing she could be there. But she's not part of that crowd, and she knows she wouldn't fit in. Daisy also knows that her crush, Liam, is at that party. So that really has her attention. That being said, Daisy doesn't think there is a chance for her and Liam to be together. Different worlds and all that. HOWEVER, they are in a class together. And things are about to get interesting, as Daisy is partnered up with Liam and Jordan. Jordan is Liam's roommate, as well as his teammate on the hockey team. Daisy has zero interest in Jordan, but is absolutely smitten with Liam. One day though feelings begin to change. Maybe it's the "forced" proximity, but dang if Jordan isn't drawing her in. Then Jordan has the idea of how to spend even more time with Daisy. Jordan has decided that he needs a tutor, and Daisy is the perfect person to help him out. This friendship is about to evolve. But can their relationship handle the confession that is about to happen?
I ABSOLUTELY loved this story! From the opposites attract trope, to the shy girl as the main character, I was so intrigued. I see so much of myself in Daisy (and her friends). So I think that is what drew me to this book. Then there was the potential of the love triangle with Daisy, Liam, and Jordan. What started as a crush on one, quickly turned into a crush on the other. I was here for it.
Watching our characters develop, and their feelings intensify was so good. I was rooting them on. The situation with one character had me wondering what was going on. I had a suspicion as to what was going on with them, and I was spot on.
The moment of conflict was interesting. Part of me saw it coming, but at the same time I didn't think it would happen like that. Then there was everything that was going on with Violet, and the conflict between the cousins. That was it's own whole thing.
As much as I loved this book, I am eagerly anticipating the next. The set up is perfect, and I am ready for the hate to love.
If you are someone who enjoys college romances that feature the opposites attract storyline, with a little love triangle mixed in, then you need to go grab Tutoring the Player.
Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts about Tutoring the Player. Please read the book. It truly is wonderful.
