BLURB
For so long, football was my life, but in one moment, it was ripped away from me forever. Forced down another path, I opened one of the hottest nightclubs in Miami.

The Takedown became my new playing field. Women threw themselves at me, and I happily caught them, tossing them away as quickly as I could, sated and with a smile on their faces.

Until the night I caught Dixie Sinclair falling off her barstool.

I should have walked away.

She was precisely the type of woman I had avoided my whole life. She was stuck up, judgmental as hell, and thought she was too good for everyone. Everything I typically wanted nothing to do with.

One look into her blue eyes had me questioning my assumptions about her. Dixie was a puzzle that needed to be solved, and I was willing to forget years of self-preservation to help her piece herself back together.

I wanted her to be mine.

I needed her to be mine.

She was the game I was willing to play for the rest of my life.

Tempting Talon is a slow burn/millionaire/sports romance inspired by Playboy Pilot.

MY REVIEW
The night Talon met a gorgeous, but very tipsy woman, and helped her home, changed his life. He may not have been looking for anything serious - being a retired football player with a hot club meant he never has to chase a woman - but it found him when Dixie first fell into his life. Now he just has to make sure she knows he has people in his life who are his priority, and he just may have a secret or two lingering in his world. Will Dixie become a priority too, or will his past come back to haunt him and ruin everything they've worked to build together?


Dixie's life isn't really her own, being that her mother practically controls her every move. So when she meets Talon and he treats her so well, she thinks she's just met and fallen for the one. But how can she compete with his past?


Dixie has a heartbreaking backstory. She is such a sweetheart and definitely did not deserve what people had done to her, did not deserve the way they treated her. But I guess the positive is that it had all made her strong, and that's why I liked her so much. I may not have found this story to be one of my favorites in the Cocky Hero Club, but with Dixie's strong character, and Talon's adorable Dante, it's still a good installment in this series.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
