The Hook Up by Kristen Callihan (Book Review)

The rules: no kissing on the mouth, no staying the night, no telling anyone, and above all… No falling in love.

Anna Jones just wants to finish college and figure out her life. Falling for star quarterback Drew Baylor is certainly not on her to do list. Confident and charming, he lives in the limelight and is way too gorgeous for his own good. If only she could ignore his heated stares and stop thinking about doing hot and dirty things with him. Easy right?

Too bad he’s committed to making her break every rule…

Football has been good to Drew. It’s given him recognition, two National Championships, and the Heisman. But what he really craves is sexy yet prickly Anna Jones. Her cutting humor and blatant disregard for his fame turns him on like nothing else. But there’s one problem: she’s shut him down. Completely.

That is until a chance encounter leads to the hottest sex of their lives, along with the possibility of something great. Unfortunately, Anna wants it to remain a hook up. Now it’s up to Drew to tempt her with more: more sex, more satisfaction, more time with him. Until she’s truly hooked. It’s a good thing Drew knows all about winning.

All’s fair in love and football…Game on

 
 
 
There are few times I can say a book surpasses my expectations. 
 
The Hook Up’s cover was eye-catching, the book summary piqued my interest, and the contents of the pages had me smiling and flushed on many occasions. 
 
Drew and Anna’s relationship had humor, anguish, and a multitude of steamy sexcapades. 
 
This book was damn near perfect. My only flaw with it was ………I didn’t want it to end. That, my folks, doesn’t happen often to me.

Gray doesn’t make friends with women. He has sex with them. Until Ivy.
 

The last thing star tight-end Gray Grayson wants to do is drive his agent’s daughter’s bubblegum pink car. But he needs the wheels and she’s studying abroad. Something he explains when she sends him an irate text to let him know exactly how much pain she’ll put him in if he crashes her beloved ride. Before he knows it, Ivy Mackenzie has become his best texting bud. But then Ivy comes home and everything goes haywire. Because the only thing Gray can think of is being with Ivy.

Ivy doesn’t have sex with friends. Especially not with a certain football player. No matter how hot he makes her…

Gray drives Ivy crazy. He’s irreverent, sex on a stick, and completely off limits. Because, Ivy has one golden rule: never get involved with one of her father’s clients. A rule that’s proving harder to keep now that Gray is doing his best to seduce her. Her best friend is fast becoming the most irresistible guy she’s ever met.

Which means Gray is going to have to use all his skills to win Ivy’s heart. Game on.

Under the Lights by Shannon Stacey (Book Review)

They were the golden boys of fall: Stewart Mills High School’s legendary championship winning football team. Fourteen years later, they’re back to relive their glory, save the team—and find themselves again…

Chase Sanders’s life has taken a lot of crazy turns lately. But returning to his hometown to help his old coach keep his high school football team afloat might be the craziest thing to happen to him yet. That is, until he starts falling for the last person he should—Coach’s gorgeous daughter…

Kelly McDonnell learned the hard way that cocky, charming men are nothing but trouble, so she knows Chase is bad news. Still, she can’t resist his smile—or the rest of him. But when his loyalty to her father conflicts with their growing attraction, any hope for a relationship might be blocked before it can even begin…

This book depicts small town living to a tee. 
 
Everyone will know your business and won’t hesitate to stick their noses into it. It’s truly hard to have any secrets. 
 
However, the bright spot of small towns (also illustrated in this tale) is how people band together in good times and especially in bad. 
 
If you’ve ever lived in a small town (like myself), you know how important a single business can be and when it goes under, families go under with it. 
 
 In Under the Lights, friends and neighbors banded together to save a football program which to some might seem like nothing but to them it was everything. 
 
Again, since my school had little in the way of money, I’m glad all their hard work paid off because this town needed a win desperately.

Playing Dirty by C.L. Parker (Book Review)

Shaw Matthews plays to win, and he intends to snag a coveted partnership at San Diego’s hottest sports agency by signing America’s top athlete. Only one woman stands in his way: rival agent Cassidy Whalen. But eliminating the competition will be Shaw’s pleasure when he concocts an ingenious plan to seduce Cassidy and show the beautiful ballbreaker who’s the better man for the job. That is, until 

 
Cassidy turns the tables–and their steamy encounters start breaking all the rules.
Cassidy has worked hard to make it in a man’s cutthroat arena, and she isn’t going down without a fight, not even against the six-two alpha hunk whose rock-hard body awakens desires she’s never known before. As Cassidy shares night after night of unending passion with Shaw, the game begins to change. Now Cassidy stands to lose everything–unless a fiery contest of wills can become a winning proposition for two people who keep raising the stakes.

 
 
 
Ladies and gents, be prepared for a cold shower after you read the sex scenes unless you have time and opportunity to ease the ache with a friend/lover. Yes, my peeps, “Playing Dirty” is jammed packed with fuckery galore. 
 
Seriously, hold onto your hats and be ready to experience some wet drawers and/or dreams.

Author Showcase – G.E. Stills (The Daughters of Darkness, Contest Included)

 
Matt goes to Las Vegas in an attempt to forget a failed marriage. Jillian goes there fleeing an unhappy relationship and the discovery, her married lover is selling drugs. When Matt and Jillian meet, their relationship grows from companionship to lovers. An evil man, working for her former lover, finds Jillian and tries to kill her. Garnet and Megan discover Jillian before she dies and they save her from death. The salvation comes with a heavy price though, because Garnet and Megan are demons. Perhaps it would have been better for Jillian to die.

 

 

Garnet stared at the man across the hall. He had on a backpack and fannypack. That he was wearing latex gloves and sneaking out of the room made her suspicious immediately. Robbery? She had seen the woman staying there yesterday even spoken to her a couple times when they had met in the hall. The impression she got was the woman was a nice lady. Early this morning she had watched that woman come down the hall with a handsome man beside her. That man had left earlier in the afternoon. This man was not the same one. 

Her demon senses kicked in and the short hairs on the back of her neck rose much like a dogs hackles. Danger, predator, her thoughts shouted. The man spoke in a low menacing voice and his eyes were cold pools of malice.

“Lady, you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.” At the same time, he took a gun out of his fannypack.

Garnet crossed the hall with inhuman speed but even so, it seemed like slow motion to her. Midway across to him, his gun chugged, a bullet tore into her and imbedded itself in her stomach. Garnet ignored the pain and finished crossing the distance. She ripped the gun from his hand and shoved him back into the woman’s room.

He reached for her throat and growled. “Who the hell are you?”

“A predator similar to you but my bet is I’m more deadly.” Her backhanded slap sent Boyd sailing across the room to crash against the opposite wall. He slid down it to become an unconscious heap on the carpet with his cheekbone shattered.

She glanced around the room and saw the woman renting this room. She was lying on the bed naked and hadn’t moved during all the noise and commotion. Something is wrong with her. What’s going on here. Garnet was beside the bed in instants. The woman’s chest rose and fell but her breathing was slow and she shuddered at the end of each breath. She checked the woman’s pulse. It was there but this too was slow and weak.

Garnet focused her attention on the man. And you have the answers to my questions. Answers you’re going to give me.

She knelt beside him. The right side of the man’s face sagged from the broken cheek she had given when she cuffed him and already his right eye had begun to swell shut. Blood trickled from his mouth and reddened his lips. A couple broken teeth lay on his chest. Garnet lightly slapped his left cheek to arouse him to consciousness. He groaned and opened his eye.

“What did you do to her?” she demanded.

“Fuck you,” he slurred.

Her expression hardened into a scowl. “Oh we are going to alright and when we have, you’re going to tell me everything.”

He glared up at her with his single open eye. The watery grey orb reflecting cold hatred. She braced a hand against his chest and wrapped the fingers of the other around his fanny pack. With a single jerk, she tore the pack free and tossed it away, next Garnet closed her hands on his shirt and pulled them apart sending buttons flying and exposing his chest. His belt was the next to go as she tore it open then tossed it away to join his fannypack. Hooking the fingers of one hand under his waistband and bracing her other hand on his bare chest she ripped them apart leaving only tattered remains around his ankles. His boxer briefs joined the pack and belt and left his midsection bare.

She met his gaze with hers again. The hatred in his eye had been replaced with terror. “You look like a beautiful woman but what are you?” his words trembled.

“It is good that you fear me. You have reason to. I’m you’re worst nightmare. You’re last one, you waste of a human.”

Happy Independence Day!

Today, many people across this great land will be celebrating by enjoying a BBQ, possibly drinking, and more than likely, participating in firework’s festivities. However, don’t forget why we are partaking in those activities. 

I’d like to share a quote with you. One I hope will stick with you, as it did me.

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Stay safe, y’all
