Synopsis:

Hockey is my first love. And I’m coming off the best season of my life.

In the process of scoring the winning goal that gave us the Stanley Cup I tore my MCL, and I’ll need to spend the next few months recovering.

Eloise Gable, the team’s new physical therapist, has been sent to Rosewood River to help me heal and get me ready for the new season.

Yet, she doesn’t seem all too happy about the situation.

In fact, she can’t stand me most days.

It doesn’t stop me from staring at her any chance I get.

She’s beautiful and brilliant, but she’s got her guard up the minute I get close.

Eloise is a distraction I wasn’t prepared for.

Did I mention that she’s also my coach’s daughter?

But after a long run together in the summer heat, our built up tension snapped.

We end up stripping down and jumping in the river.

It seemed like the logical thing at the time.

The problem is, Eloise Gable is completely off limits.

But I’m a professional hockey player, and in my world, limits were meant to be pushed.

Hockey may be my first love, but after falling for my coach’s daughter—it’s definitely not my last.

Review of Over the Moon

Over the Moon (Rosewood River, #3)Over the Moon by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m over the moon about Over the Moon by Laura Pavlov! The third book in the Rosewood River series did not disappoint. I couldn’t get enough of Clark and Eloise. Fans of Laura’s other small-town romances will love seeing familiar characters from her previous books pop up. While those connections are a fun bonus, this story absolutely shines on its own and can be enjoyed as a total standalone. (That said, I’ve read and loved all her small-town romances and recommend them every chance I get!)

Over the Moon is packed with swoon-worthy moments, laugh-out-loud flirty banter, delicious chemistry, and all the small-town charm that makes Laura’s books so special to me. I’m ready to pack my bags and move to Rosewood River already! I also can’t wait to read Bridger’s book, Crazy in Love, when it releases in September. This unputdownable series is totally one-click worthy.

Synopsis

“I need a reason to exist.”


Beautiful, intelligent, independent, strong-willed, wealthy—Lilith Fontenot seems by all appearances, to have it all. But that’s not how the highest paid prostitute in New Orleans sees herself.


A stain on society. A scourge. A waste. Outsider. Prisoner…


Any idyllic dream of the normal life she may have once imagined, Lilith buried long ago. Her only plan now is survival.


But mob boss Nico Santelli and community center owner Soti Christos have not given up on Lilith. Each has his own very specific, very opposing, plans for her, and neither will rest until it becomes a reality.


WHORE is a singularly bracing take on an ancient tale of tireless love, betrayal, and the possibility of redemption.

Review of Whore

WhoreWhore by Willow Aster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Soti sized stars! Review to follow!
UPDATE:
Is it too late to add another book to my Best of 2017 list? Nope. I make the rules, and it’s still 2017. 

Whore, by Willow Aster, is absolutely incredible. This emotion-packed, unconventional romance was intense. There were a few times I had to put this book down to keep myself from peeking ahead every few pages.  My anxiety levels were pretty cranked up from the angst and suspense-filled plot.

Lili is forced into following her mother's footsteps to work at Maison D’amour as a prostitute. She meets Soti, a generous man with a heart of gold.  After a twist of fate, Lili might be able to leave her depressing life at the whore house.  Her scheming mother forced Lili into a relationship with Nico, an upcoming mafia associate with an agenda of his own. That's all I'm going to say because I don't want to spoil this story for you.

Lili and Soti’s unconventional romance will tug at your heartstrings.  If you're thinking this story is going to be like the movie Pretty Woman, it isn’t. Whore is a story of unconditional love, strength, devotion, and redemption.  One-click this one!

Excerpt:
I take a sudden deep breath and my breasts brush against his chest. The contact surprises us both. I do it again, intentionally this time, trying to gain control in the only way I know how. His neck flushes and he takes a step back. I enjoy the rush it gives me, knowing that I affect him too.
“Hey, would you like to come around the corner with me to—”
I swallow my surprise and shake my head, holding my hand up before he says anything else.  
“Please,” he says louder.
“What’s your name?”
“I am Sotirios … Soti.”   
“Soti, what makes you think you know anything about me?”
He tries to make eye contact, but I focus on a spot just past his left ear.  
“I just want to help you…” His words trail off.
The wind blows my hair forward, a sheet of black coming between us until I smooth the long strands down on either side. I gaze down the street and see a blurry little girl with black hair down to her waist in middle school, standing shy and hopeful in front of a group of girls.
“We know what you are,” they said. They hurled spit and names on her and she stood there, taking it, until the teacher came and helped her.
Help only got me so far.
“You listen to me, okay?” I say so softly he leans in to hear me. “I was born for this.”
When my eyes finally land on his again, I know his face will haunt me forever. He looks as bleak as I feel.
I clear my throat. “Now, if you’ll excuse us.”
With that, I loop my hand through the arm of my next income source, calculating how I can get the most money out of him for the least amount of time. It takes every ounce of willpower I own to not look Soti’s way one more time. Once we round the corner and I know he’s out of sight, all the adrenaline leaves my body, and I’m actually glad to have someone to hold onto.
I avoid my reflection as we walk back to the house. I don’t want to know what the rest of the world sees when they look at me.
