BLURB
They say he who dares wins…

Luke Kessler is known for his daring play on the field and his carefully scripted life off it. The Growlers’ wide receiver has a strict rule of dating one woman he’s meticulously chosen per season, then letting her down gently. After all, his game is football, not love. That is until his dopey mutt falls for a French bulldog owned by a hot mess of a woman whose sassy mouth and mind-blowing curves have him fumbling his best laid plans.

After a humiliating concert performance played out in front of the world on social media, cellist Summer Pearson has sworn off a career in music. Forever. She’s hiding out with her grandparents in Milwaukee, licking her wounds and preparing for a predictable, if not boring, law career. The last person she needs challenging her life choices is a sexy, dog-rescuing jock who loves his grandma as much as he loves a good dare.

Especially when that same guy is dating her perfect cousin.

This fun, flirty sports romance delivers a happily ever after that will have you laughing, crying, sighing, and cheering in the endzone. One-click it now for doggy hijinks, senior citizens bent on shenanigans, sexy ax-throwing, locker room bromance, steamy private cello performances, and all the feels as two people discover they are worthy of love.

Double Dog Dare is book 2 in the Milwaukee Growlers Football series but can be read as a standalone with no cliffhangers.

MY REVIEW

Luke picks one woman per season to date, then says goodbye at the end of the season. It's all very scripted and arranged, with no commitment and no feelings involved. Then Summer happens to him. She's not the woman he's chosen this season, nope, she's that woman's cousin...oops!

Summer's life imploded in full view of everyone. So she's come to this town to be around her grandparents and her cousin. She's trying to lie low, but when her dog is molested by a hot guy's dog, she realizes her life isn't going to be so quiet after all, because Luke is not only gorgeous, but he rescues dogs, he's sweet, and she's falling hard, quickly. But when faced with a revelation that rocks her to her core, will it spell the end to her and Luke?

Awww...I adored Luke and Summer together. Their story has it all - sweet leads with hot chemistry, adorable, crazy grandparents, and dogs. Did I mention dogs? Luke is the kind of hero I like best - charming and cocky with an inner sweetness, and Summer is so relatable with her insecurities, insecurities that guide her behavior near the end, and even though she was pretty harsh, it was understandable given her past. There's also a whole football team of guys that I can't wait to read as they fall in love - bring on more football love!

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...
