Blurb
He’s the bad boy my family warned me about—and the one man I can’t have.


I just landed the job of my dreams—planning the Miami Thunder football team’s 50th-anniversary celebration—and I can’t afford distractions. Especially not tattooed billionaire and reformed troublemaker Lucas Carras. He exudes alpha-hero intensity, but he’s been off limits for as long as I’ve known him.

But the kickoff party is happening at the nightclub he co-owns with my brother… and with my sibling out of town, I’m stuck working with Lucas.

Forced proximity ignites the desire we’ve both been pretending doesn’t exist. From bedrooms to storage rooms, the scorching tension causes us to cross every line we swore we wouldn’t. On paper, we’re complete opposites. In reality, the chemistry is undeniable.

This party is everything I’ve worked for—my moment to prove myself. Until the sabotage starts.

Orders vanish. Vendors back out. Someone is determined to ruin the anniversary… and my reputation along with it.

Suddenly Lucas isn’t just a distraction. He’s my protector, my anchor, and the only man I trust to stand by my side.

But when my brother finds out about us, family drama explodes. And I’m torn between being the good girl who plays by the rules... and falling for trouble.

Perfect for fans of Carly Phillips and high-heat sports romance, Falling for Trouble features a possessive hero, high-stakes suspense, and a guaranteed HEA.

MY REVIEW


Rainey's so happy that her firm has won their bid to plan the Thunder's 50th anniversary celebration. She and her business partner did it on their own without having to be the nepo baby and ask her father (the Thunder's owner) to help. But it's when her brother's best friend and business partner is paired with her firm to help, that things take a turn. Being in such close proximity with the guy she's crushed on and is ridiculously attracted to, is begging her to step over that forbidden line. Can she and Lucas resist the pull?


Lucas has spent nearly his whole life believing he's not good enough - not for his friend Jack, and definitely not for Jack's sister. His childhood was horrible, and he made some not so great choices that led him into some not so great company. But he was adopted by amazing parents, and has now become a successful businessman, is a ride or die best friend, is protective of the people he cares about. He's always known he can't even think twice about Rainey, but he's unable to keep hold of his restraint any longer. He'll keep it a secret like she asks, hoping it won't get ugly if it comes to light, but knowing inside it's gonna be a disaster...


Rainey and Lucas are so sweet, and their chemistry melted my Kindle the first page they see each other again. I felt so hard for Lucas, his past had done a number on him, so it makes it perfect that he and Rainey fell in love, because she saw through his bad boy image and into his tender, if bruised, heart. I've been reading the Dares for a long time, and each one has so much love to give. This time around, it was Rainey's turn to fall, and fall she did, for the man perfect for her. I adored them together and loved being in the big world of the Dares again. Brother Jack's story is coming up soon, as well as Lucas and Jack's business partner Tristan - and I can't wait!

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...
