Review / Release Blitz: Rookie’s Regret (Tennessee Thunderbolts #3) by Gina Azzi

Title: Rookie's Regret
Series: Tennessee Thunderbolts #3
Author: Gina Azzi
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Release Date: September 8, 2022

BLURB
Lioness. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I see the brilliant redhead selling cupcakes at the hockey arena.

With the soul of an artist and the spirit of a nomad, Bea Turner is gorgeous, quirky, and refreshing.

She’s also my teammate’s little sister.

As the Tennessee Thunderbolts' Rookie, I should steer clear. I’m here to play hockey and provide much-needed financial security for my family. To do that, I need to avoid distractions.

Bea doesn’t just distract me; she flips my world upside down. One bad joke has me pursuing her. One date and I crave more. Calling her mine? Well, now I’m dreaming of a future.

The life of a hockey player — trades, travel, uncertainty — isn’t for the heart of a creative. Bea desires adventure and possibility, not early morning skates and strict exercise regimens.

When I’m thrust into a situation at odds with Bea’s dream career, I know I can’t hold her back. If we’re meant to be, we’ll make it work. But what if we’re not?

What if my greatest regret is letting my lioness go?

MY REVIEW

Cole's whole focus has been hockey since his uncle took him and encouraged him to play - it's what keeps him going, helps keep the demons from his childhood at bay. Then a redheaded lioness captures his interest and flips his world upside down. He just has to convince the beauty selling the cupcakes that they can be good together.


Bea has dreams of opening up her own pottery shop. But that dream has to be put on the shelf while she comes home to care for her beloved Gran. Meanwhile, her hockey playing brother Beau has arranged a temp job for her of selling cupcakes at the stadium where the Thunderbolts play. It's not her dream job of course, but it does bring her Cole, the sweetest rookie she could possibly imagine. But are they moving too fast? Is she losing herself to him and his dream? Can the rookie and his lioness both have their dreams and make a relationship work at the same time?

Two opposites with demons from their pasts, it's amazing they worked together, but they did, and I loved them together. The emotional layers their story has are woven with moments of fun lightheartedness, serious chemistry, and a sweet couple surrounded by lots of equally amazing family and teammates. I'm excited for the next hockey god to fall in love, especially Bea's brother Beau and his high school sweetheart.

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...
