This series never gets old, swoon worthy, totally corny and thoroughly entertaining.
The Kindreds have been invited to another planet and an Earth Dr is included. Bravik and Danielle are a mature pair, she's not impressed with him at all. This planet has weird effects on the inhabitants, what is happening to this couple? Aches and pains disappearing, middle age lines smoothing. What fountain of youth powers does this planet hold, not to mention their emotions and memories are also affected. It will take the power of the Goddess to save them from this odd place and it's creatures, danger is imminent.
Once again this author proves what a wondrous imagination she has. Evangeline I really want those floaty boob dot things.

 woman who struggles with infertility has given up on finding love

A warrior who thinks he will never be able to bond a bride

Thrown together on a mission where they must pretend to be Joined Mates

Will their lie become a reality?

Dr. Danielle Adams isn't looking for love. Health issues have rendered her unable to have kids and she has given up on finding a relationship. Instead, she's focusing her energy on her career as a Medical Anthropologist. She's excited for her next assignment--going to study a new group of humanoids with their own special brand of medicine. But when she receives an ancient love artifact that supposedly grants wishes about love, passion, and fertility, she can't help making a few wishes of her own. Not that they'll ever come true...

Commander Bravik is a Hybrid Kindred--half Blood, half Beast and all business. He's also the Diplomat in charge of the first cultural visit to Soluu Four, home of the H'raken people. Rumors that they have incredible healing techniques that don't rely on medical technology have piqued the High Council's interest, so they are sending Bravik and a human woman he barely knows--Dr. Danielle Adams--to investigate.

Everything is going well until they arrive on Soluu Four and find out they are expected to bring a mate. In order to avoid offending their hosts and ruining the mission, Danni pretends to be Bravick's bride. But to her surprise, the healing techniques she has come to study turn out to be sexual in nature. When her "husband," Bravik, is injured on the strange little planet, she is called upon to put her new skills to the test. Things are getting hot and heavy--can it be that Danni's wishes will come true after all?

You'll have to read Healing her Patient to find out.

Rocky Mountain Rescue (Brotherhood Protectors Colorado Book 2)

 by Elle James

Amazon

Another great book in this series.
Max is a new recruit, medically retired from service after a major fall. His first assignment is protecting JoJo, from who or what is yet to be discovered. She has a traumatic past that she doesn't wish to discuss.
I really enjoyed watching their relationship develop as the mystery unfolded. The suspense towards the end was gripping, I couldn't put this book down.
Action packed and wonderful characters, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Former Green Beret Max Thornton’s career ended when he fell two hundred and fifty feet during a training exercise and broke nearly every bone in his body. Left with a permanent limp and in need of a job, he is recruited by Brotherhood Protectors where he can use his combat training and skills to protect, guard and rescue others. He didn’t expect his first assignment to be the resident mechanic. Nor did he expect the mechanic to be a spitfire of a female with a whole lot of anger.

Josephina Angelica Barrera-Ramirez or JoJo, as her friends call her, prefers to be left alone with the work she does on the machinery and vehicles of the Lost Valley Ranch. Suffering from situational amnesia brought on by an attack she sustained during a deployment to Afghanistan, she’s touchy about being touched and doesn’t take flak from anyone. When she becomes the target of a killer, a former Green Beret is assigned as her bodyguard. Forced to have the Green Beret around, her distrust of men is challenged and the wall around her heart crumbles.

When danger threatens, Max and JoJo must fight their own fears to defeat evil while losing the battle of their hearts to win a future together.

I really enjoy this series, but the K9 deserves a pic on the cover too. A fast paced and entertaining story, he's an alpha male and she's no shrinking violet. Will they clash, they seem to love to hate each other. Great story line, just when you think the action is finished there's more. Her determination to catch the bad guys could get them killed. Wonderful characters, I can't wait for the next book in this series.

This special operative and a K-9 handler must work in close proximity to solve a crime—and whether they kill each other or wind up in bed is anyone’s guess.


After a string of deaths are linked to a man locked up for another crime, Special Operative Alix Broshears and his team are racing against the clock to stop him before another person dies. Bringing in the gorgeous handler from a local K-9 unit makes sense—unless you ask Broshears’ libido. When it comes to the intelligent woman who thinks on her feet, his control is tested every damn minute.


Vivian Valentine is up for the challenge of joining the team on yet another mission with her K-9 partner, Zack. She’s also determined to prove her worth to a certain special operative who takes arguing with her seriously.

Sure, they hate each other. They’re also friends.

And there might have been one encounter in a closet, but they don’t discuss that.

Despite their strained ties, when Broshears learns Vivian’s in peril, the race is on to save her. Nothing can keep him from holding back his wrath against their enemies…or his feelings for the woman he’s determined to rescue.

Just for Kicks (Milwaukee Growlers Football Book 1)

 by Tracy Solheim

Amazon: https://amzn.to/3rw2hEz

I love reading a fun sports romance, and even better was discovering a new to me author. Was Dex a typical sports star, an arrogant twat?...no. He hated the media but there were more personal reasons behind this. His pink haired pixie Andi, who he married to stay in the country was way more that he expected. Her own upbringing made her vulnerable and yet strong. Could they just be a perfect match? His team mate's girl Jade will be the one you love to hate in this catty world of WAGs. This was a fun and entertaining story, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

There's a new team in town. Milwaukee Growlers Football Book 1

It was supposed to be just for kicks...
Andi Larsen learned early on there is no such thing as fairy godmothers. A childhood spent in foster care will do that to a girl. She’s working her way through night school and is on the cusp of establishing her own business without help from anyone, thank you very much. But when her deadbeat ex steals her identity, amassing a staggering debt in her name, her fairy godmother appears in the guise of a spunky, Fireball whisky-wielding septuagenarian. The older woman’s solution for Andi? Tie the knot with a kilt-wearing, moody jock whose legs look sexier in a skirt than hers do.


Declan Fletcher never intended to be a place-kicker for a professional football team. But fate had other plans. Exiled from his beloved Scotland a decade ago, Dex is now a superstar athlete known throughout the league as the “Man with the Million Dollar Leg.” But when a mix-up in his immigration paperwork threatens to send him home before the season begins, he’ll do anything to avoid deportation and facing his greatest mistake. Even if it means marrying a pink-haired waif of a lass with eyes that seem to see everything he’s determined to keep hidden.


A grumpy cat, nosy teammates, and a sizzling sexual attraction make their marriage of convenience anything but convenient.

Nelson High Raiders Box Set: YA Sports Romance Series

 by Jordan Ford

Amazon

I can't believe it's been over 4 years since I read these books individually. Lucky you, getting to binge one of my fave series. After reading through my reviews from before I want to go back and read them now.

The Playmaker
I love a good YA in between other books and this was one not to be disappointed with. In fact I absolutely enjoyed every bit of it.
Teenage angst...so long ago for me and I'm an Aussie so American sports is another world away.
Tori is not one of the 'popular girls' as she is different and unique, she's hot for the football jock who is also a childhood friend. Colt the football jock has his own self doubts that he keeps hidden to stay cool. Circumstances bring them together and we watch Tori change herself, her clothing and makeup to try and fit in. Their journey is amusing, the banter funny, but I'm sure to a teen it's total drama.
Ultimately it's about friendships and the journey through the final year of high school.
The story flowed well and the characters were so engaging.

The Red Zone
I found this book hard to put down, I got so caught up in their lives that I was annoyed when I reached my train stop and had to get off.
Living in Melbourne myself there are a lot of Kiwis around especially when a local rugby game is on and I couldn't help but read Kaija's speech with her accent.
High schools I'm sure are similar the world over, the popular kids, the jocks, the nerds and all those kids on the outer. Teenage angst, love, jealousy and bullying all made so much harder in this generation of social media where there is no escape.
Fabulous story line and engaging characters, I laughed and cried reading this book.

The Handoff
This one is about Layla, Mack's sister and Mack's friend Finn. Layla and Finn found an expected connection that quickly became special.
Trouble seems to find Layla, the grief of losing her father has her lost and lonely despite being a popular girl (pretty much due to her drinking and easy reputation with the boys). I enjoyed watching her blossom and mature while surrounded by drama.
I really enjoyed the story line in this book, I was totally swept up in Layla's life and felt so sorry for her. I was hoping that it would all work out in the end and she'd get her HEA.
The characters were fun, except for the ones I wanted to smack and I waited for them to get their comeuppance. There was that one scene that I read faster to see how it panned out...my heart was pounding.
There is an ongoing secret in these books and I imagine it will all come to light in the next book.

Shoot The Gap
This is Tyler's story, the goofy funny guy and his friend Sammy who is like one of the guys. He has the hots for her sister and can't see past her looks and popularity to what a b*tch she is.
The story line flowed smoothly and kept me entertained, I enjoyed catching up with characters from previous books too. Such teen angst, typical high school with the popular kids and the jocks and the nerds.
I'm sad to see this series end, but look forward to whatever this author puts out next.

If you're a fan of small-town football, field parties, high school angst and melt-your-heart kisses, then you'll love The Nelson High Raiders novels!

The Playmaker:
Can the quirkiest girl in school win over the coolest guy on the football team?

The Red Zone:
He’s never wanted a girl more, but she’s not the type to fall for a star quarterback. Can the popular jock win over this feisty new exchange student?

The Handoff:
She’s the last person he has time for, but Finn’s never been able to turn his back on someone in trouble. Can the kind-hearted offensive lineman be won over by Nelson High’s party girl?

Shoot the Gap:
She’s a tomboy with a crush. He’s her best friend with a secret. Will either of them have the guts to admit they’re falling for each other?

This complete box set also includes a bonus short story epilogue!

Force of Nature (Aaron Falk Book 2)

 by Jane Harper

Amazon

This story continued the tale of Aaron Falk and his next case. The story was slow and steady, a tad creepy and a lot more going on than I first thought. There was no particular hook that grabbed me making me read faster, but perhaps the author is clever with her subtlety as I had to know whodunnit.
I hope my company never puts together adventures like this, not even glamping.
This group of woman strayed off the path, Alice is missing...do any of the others really care?
The author brought the area to life, I could almost smell it...well it's close to home for me so I'd know (this is fictional but could be any ranges surrounding me).
Fabulously woven tale of mystery keeping me guessing all the way.

From the international bestselling author of The Dry and new novel The Survivors.

Lost, Cold, Desperate ... Danger Runs Deep

Five women reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking along the muddy track. Only four come out the other side.

The hike through the rugged Giralang Ranges is meant to take the office colleagues out of their air-conditioned comfort zone and teach resilience and team building. At least that is what the corporate retreat website advertises.

Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a particularly keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing bushwalker. Alice Russell is the whistleblower in his latest case - and Alice knew secrets. About the company she worked for and the people she worked with.

Far from the hike encouraging teamwork, the women tell Falk a tale of suspicion, violence and disintegrating trust. And as he delves into the disappearance, it seems some dangers may run far deeper than anyone knew.

Even worse, they are seen at the house and have both become targets … in a game Caleb has to win or will lose everything that’s important in his life.

Breaking Free (Delta Force Strong Book 4)

 Elle James

Amazon

I love this series and the characters. Such strong Alpha men that meet the women they will love and show their softer hearts.
This mission has Bull undercover as a fiancé of the Ambassador's daughter. She's not impressed as she has secret plans of her own. The country is in turmoil and their lives in danger.
The plot kept me glued to my kindle, plenty of action, danger and exciting moments. Still time for these two to develop a sizzling chemistry. Will it be over with the mission?
This story stands alone but you'll want to check out the others for character development.

The Delta Force team is sent to tumultuous Turkey to protect the American Embassy from a distance, undercover. Craig “Bull” Bullington is assigned inside the embassy to provide intelligence and protect the ambassador's daughter, acting as her American fiancé.

As the daughter of a Turkish mother and the American ambassador to Turkey, Layla Grey, knows her place but refuses to stand by and do nothing about injustices toward women in her mother’s country. Hosting dignitaries by day, she runs covert operations at night to free women captured to be sold into the sex trade. Having a bodyguard assigned to her cramps her style and she chafes at the constraints.

After her enemies compromise her cover, all hell breaks loose, and Layla’s life is on the line. Bull is forced to go rogue in order to get Layla out of the country alive.
