A Cocky Hero Club Novel
Author: Tara L. Ames
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 9, 2022

Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward's New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.

BLURB
A hockey star looking for more than a score. An Olympic figure skater dodging his play. A desire too ice melting hot to ignore.

My flight was cancelled and I ended up sharing a ride home with a guy I had met on my vacation. But he was no ordinary guy.
Two hundred pounds of sexy.
Six foot three made of steel.
Top scorer both on and off the ice.
This hottie knew how to slap a puck!
He was #35 on the ice and #1 in puck bunny hearts.
I had to protect myself from this cocky devil before he became #1 in mine. Burned by his teammate, I swore off dating anymore jocks and that included this one… No matter how crazy fun my adventure was with him on that wild trip home!

I wasn’t expecting to fall for a sexy snow bunny on my ski vacation, let alone an Olympic figure skater. But after four amazing days with her, she left me high and dry.
Well, I refused to believe good things come to an end. I was determined to melt away her fears and win her back.
It was game on, baby!

Cocky Devil is a fast-paced hockey romance inspired by Cocky Bastard.

MY REVIEW

Alex has never had such an immediate reaction to a woman, and he wants more of her. Unfortunately, now that Madison has found out who he is, or rather, what his profession is, she's become determined to keep him at arm's length. Now he'll have to work overtime to convince her he's nothing like her ex, who happens to be his teammate.

Alex is the saving grace of this story. I loved his character - he's sweet, sexy, and beyond determined to prove to Madison that he's nothing like her jerk of an ex. Unfortunately for him, and for me as a reader, Madison was not deserving of such a sweet guy. Her push and pull, hot and cold bs with him drove me nuts. Sometimes you just gotta take a leap of faith, and Madison needed to learn that, rather than stringing the poor guy along for nearly the entire story. Alex deserved someone equal to him, and he didn't get that, so 3 stars is all I can give this one.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
