The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date.

Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on.

Exactly what I needed after my breakup.

Or so I thought…

Until my real date arrived.

Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up.

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.

Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date.

I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet.

But my real blind date and I had no connection.

So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game.

When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty.

Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period.

Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy.

A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled.

You guessed it: Dimples.

Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play.

And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood.

He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away.

Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right?

Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

Tempting Little Tease by Rachael Brownell

 

Title: Tempting Little Tease

Series: Lake State University Series #2

Author: Rachael Brownell

Genre: College Romance/Brother's Best Friend Romance

Cover Design: Emily Wittig of Emily Wittig Designs

Release Date: November 11, 2021

The moment I met him I knew I was screwed.

It started with a sext.

An extremely hot, highly inappropriate sext during the wake for my best friend’s dad. That didn’t stop me from replying. From sneaking off to the bathroom, secretly hoping he would follow me.

And he did.

He staked his claim on me against the bathroom wall. Captured my moans with his kisses. And when it was over, I walked away knowing two things.

One – I wanted more.

Two – I couldn’t get involved with him.

He was dangerous to my heart. It was still healing from being destroyed two years earlier. And this man has the power to shatter it completely.

Still, I couldn’t stop myself from playing the game he started. Every sext was hotter than the last, tempting me to act on my desires. The first time we were alone, clothes went flying. There was no denying our chemistry as we collided. And in the heat of the moment, nothing else mattered.

Not my broken heart.

Not his reputation as a player.

Then the front door to my apartment opened… we were caught in the act. My roommate screamed. Her boyfriend growled. I cried. And he… he begged for more.

We needed to stop. One of us was going to get hurt – me! I was going to get hurt.

I should have known I couldn’t walk away from him. His promises sparked my curiosity. My body craved his attention.

It was his words that held me captive. They had the power to not only break my heart, but destroy my soul if I let him in.

I was so interested to see where things would play out between Kendall and Declan and I loved how fierce Declan was to fight for her. No matter what was in her past, he wanted her. She fought him tooth and nail because she was scared. There is just the right blend of college angst, raw moments and so much more within these pages. I adored their wit and banter as it made me laugh so much. But the devotion that Declan has for Kendall is just everything. Every girl needs a guy to go after her and show her the world like Dec did for K!

Rina’s Reads - “Declan and Kendall's chemistry was visible from the beginning, their spark inextinguishable, their attraction undeniable.”

Goodreads Review - “​​Welcome back to Lake Street University, and we are coming in hot! Declan and Kendall’s story is so steamy and they haven’t even done the deed yet!”

“K,” he says, taking a step in my direction. I match his movements, backing up until I’m pressed against the glass of the shower doors with nowhere else to go. “Why. Are. You. Avoiding. Me?”

His words are punctuated, his voice barely above a growl. When I flick my eyes to his, I see them filled with lust. Dark pools swirling with need.

Oh, hell.

He wants me and that can’t happen right now. There are at least twenty people downstairs. Our friends. Lo’s family. His family. Acting on anything would be a big mistake. We could get caught. Again.

“I-I’m n-not,” I stutter out, my voice barely audible.

Declan lifts one hand to cup my cheek, and I automatically lean into his touch before I can stop myself. His hand feels like fire against my skin and I love the way his touch burns me straight to my soul.

“You are, and I want to know why because whatever is going on between us is great, but it could be so much better.”

Rules, I remind myself. I have them for a reason. Reasons I can’t remember right now. Not when he’s standing this close. When my body is aching to be closer to him. For him to lean in and brush his lips across mine, to taste the watermelon chapstick I wore just for him.

“Yeah,” I say, sensations washing over me as I close my eyes, the rest of my body now warming from his simple touch.

“So much better,” he whispers, his voice sounding dangerously close. “Tell me you want this,” he pleads, his breath fanning across my lips. “Tell me I can kiss you, Kendall. It’s all I’ve been thinking about today. Your soft, delicate lips, wondering if they taste like watermelon or not.”

Oh, hell.

Opening my eyes, I immediately feel my knees go weak. Declan’s lips are inches from mine, his gaze seeking permission to close the distance. It’s like he read my mind, or maybe my body language. He knows what I want, but still we stare at each other for a few tense moments before I finally nod my head.

It’s all the assurance he needs before he presses his lips to mine. Gently at first. A soft caress. When I place my hand against his chest, gripping the front of his shirt, his restraint snaps and he deepens the kiss, his tongue demanding access. As soon as I finally grant it to him, he growls into my mouth.

Suddenly I’m being lifted by my ass, my legs wrap around his waist, my arms around his neck, and then he turns swiftly, my back hitting the wall with a resounding thud. I can feel his erection against my inner thigh, long and hard. But that’s not where I want it, so I wiggle in his arms as he continues to assault my mouth and position him at the junction of my legs.

The second he thrusts against my warm center we groan in unison.

“So. Much. Better,” Declan says against my mouth, his hips thrusting with every word.

Rachael Brownell is an International Bestselling author of new adult romance.

She lives in Michigan with her husband, son, snuggly dog, and hateful cat. She moonlights a few days a week (her excuse to get out of the house and socialize) and writes almost full time. Her first book was published way back in 2013 and since she’s released more than 30 additional titles.

When she’s not writing her next novel, you can find her hanging out with her family, watching her son play baseball, or running on the treadmill at the gym (though she skips more days than she goes). She also enjoys golfing but is still learning, so if you see her on the course… stand back.

The Trailblazer by Gina Azzi

 

 Release Date: November 11

I always knew I’d marry my first everything, Declan Yaeger, the Southern boy with Irish roots. That was before he became my first heartbreak, a NHL superstar with a playboy reputation I no longer recognize.

The summer he left our small, Tennessee town, to pursue his hockey dream is the summer my life changed. That was seven years ago, before he became a defenseman for the Boston Hawks. Before I became fixated on my career, losing pieces of myself along the way.

To protect my grandfather's legacy, I agree to marry my oldest childhood friend, Henry. But when I enter the Church on my wedding day, the grey eyes piercing mine aren’t my fiancé’s.

They’re Declan’s, the last person I expect to show up with an offer of his own. One I can’t refuse even though my heart should know better than to accept.

Will my marriage to Declan heal the broken between us? Or are we destined to repeat the mistakes of our past?

Ah I have been looking forward to Declan’s story and I am SO in love with him and Vivi. It is raw and emotional. Packed with such a punch that you will want to swoon after your heart aches. The history between these two is intense to say the least. I lived for their moments. How much they were making for lost time and misunderstandings. How fierce Vivi is to keep her grandfather’s legacy going. How much Declan wants to support her through it. There are just so many emotional moments that you cannot help but adore this book. I loved how the past players all came together with them as well. I am in love with this series more and more!
