SYNOPSIS

Lily LeBlanc isn’t versed in the art of casual sex, but after seven years in an on-again, off-again relationship, she’s definitely willing to give it a shot. And who better to try it with than her best friend’s boyfriend’s best friend? What could possibly go wrong?

NHL player, Randy Ballistic, lives up to his last name on the ice and in the bedroom. His best friend and teammate has recently given up the puck bunnies and traded them in for a real girlfriend. And she just happens to have a seriously feisty, extra-hot best friend on the rebound. Randy’s more than happy to be Lily’s spring board back into the dating scene.

But casual sex is only casual until those pesky things called emotions get involved. Once that happens, someone’s bound to get pucked over.

With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. So of course she isn’t interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. When Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet’s misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.

Suffering from a complete lapse in judgment, Violet discovers just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants. Violet believes her night of orgasmic magic with Alex is just that: one night. But Alex starts to call. And text. And email and send extravagant—and quirky—gifts. Suddenly, he’s too difficult to ignore, and nearly impossible not to like.

The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn’t want to be part of the game

Miller “Buck” Butterson has been banging his way through life ever since a puck to the face fixed his messed up front teeth. After five years in the NHL, deflecting goals on the ice and scoring them with puck bunnies, Miller has decided he’s ready for a girlfriend. A real, non-bunny girlfriend to take on dates, and not jump into bed with after five seconds of conversation.

Miller thinks he’s found that woman in his teammate’s sister. Except, unlike team captain and all-around nice guy Alex Waters—who happens to date his stepsister, Miller’s media reputation as a manwhore is well earned. Beyond that minor detail, Miller doesn’t know the first thing about relationships or the time and effort they require.

Miller learns—eventually—that if he wants to make Sunshine “Sunny” Waters fall for him, he’s going to have to do a whole lot more than show her his stick skills in the bedroom.

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FIVE BALLISTIC STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

This was my first Helena Hunting book and I freaking LOVED it!!!
FREAKING AMAZEBALLS!!
I need to read the other two books in this series.
This can totally be read as a standalone but why would you want to miss out on books 1 & 2??

Randy Ballistic is one seriously HOT NHL Player. He’s the best friend of Miller Butterson, who was the hero in Pucked Up. Randy has messed around with many a puck bunny in his day but he tends to be a serial dater. He likes spending time with women and what I mean by spending time is he likesTHE SEX!! As soon as things get too serious, he’s out! He has his father to thank for his inability to commit. He’s so afraid of ending up like his Dad, that he refuses to get too close to any woman. There’s a whole group of women on social media who commiserate over being dumped by BALLISTIC. They all agree that the man knows how to please a woman and that he has a couple of quirks as well. He only does it in the dark and underneath the sheets!! When I found out the reason why, I fell even more in love with Randy!

Lily LeBlanc is Sunny’s best friend, who is the heroine from book two. Lily has just broken up with her boyfriend of seven years. He was pretty much a loser and was only good at making her feel inadequate. She’s never been the kind of girl to hook up with a guy for just sex, but once she meets Randy and they have quite a steamy encounter in a bathroom at a cabin they both end up in, Lily is thinking a no strings arrangement might be just what she needs.

They both agree to keep things casual and the minute they feel things heading in a serious direction, they must call it quits. So these two end up having some seriously amazing sexual rendezvous and Lily does find it odd that Randy only wants to do it in the dark. Randy is starting to feel things he hasn’t for any woman before. Other women just don’t do it for him and he’s finding himself drawn to Lily’s snarky attitude and he’s intrigued by how she challenges him at every turn.

Lily and Randy never intended to get in too deep but once reality sets in, will they be able to see the truth and risk it all for love, or will they let old insecurities take hold and ruin what could be a once in a lifetime deal??

I LOVED this book so much!! I mean three days later, I am still thinking about this book and wishing I had the time to go back and re-read it. This releases on FRIDAY!!! Get ready to fall in love wit RANDY BALLISTIC!!!!!!!!

REVIEW – THE SCORE (Off Campus, #3) by Elle Kennedy

January 11, 2016May 12, 2016Leave a comment

SYNOPSIS:

He knows how to score, on and off the ice

Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn’t have the first clue about what she’s going to do after college. To make matters worse, she’s nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di-Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won’t include the king of one-night stands.

It’ll take more than flashy moves to win her over

Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition,girls…he’s a ladies man, all right, and he’s yet to meet a woman who’s immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world—and now she wants to befriends? Nope. It’s not over until he says it’s over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it’s time to stop focusing on scoring…and shoot for love.

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****4.5 STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author in Exchange For an Honest Review}

Elle Kennedy definitely has another HIT on her hands with this one. The OFF CAMPUS series delivers the HOTTEST Hockey Players, panty melting scenes, and laugh out loud moments as well. Each guy is pretty cocky and gorgeous, but never do they come off as narcissistic pricks.

Dean Di Laurentis is a serious PLAYER. He enjoys sex and is a serious exhibitionist as well. He also doesn’t have any desire to be in a serious relationship with any woman and he always makes his intentions clear with every girl he hooks up with. The one time he attempted to be in a relationship ended disastrously and several years later he is still haunted by the past.

Allie Hayes is Hannah’s best friend and roommate. Hannah is Garrett’s girlfriend and I’m sure none of you have forgotten THE DEAL. That book was on my top ten of 2015 list. Allie has just broken up with her boyfriend of the past three years and is feeling vulnerable. She wants a clean break from him but he isn’t willing to give up on her. So in order to avoid her ex, she spends the night at Garrett’s house, where as luck would have it, Dean happens to be.

Allie knows Dean and is fully aware of his reputation, which makes her immune to his charms. She isn’t like any of the girls he hooks up with. But after several shots of tequila and a couple of puffs from a joint, Allie finds herself waking up the next morning naked in Dean’s room, with a serious hangover, and a gloriously naked Dean as well.

The sex turned out to be mind-blowing for the both of them and after a ton of resistance from Allie, the two enter into an arrangement. They agree to have sex on a regular basis and to not see other people while doing so. But as they start to spend more time together, feelings begin to develop and pretty soon they question whether there might be something more than just sex between them.

We learn how life has been pretty unfair to Allie and how things aren’t always what they seem where Dean is concerned. He lets people think he’s just a pretty face with a limited vocabulary, but he’s destined for Harvard Law and it’s due to his academic prowess and not his family’s bank account. I found myself comparing Dean to Grayson from The Friend Zone, which only made him that much more lovable to me.

There were some angst filled moments, but they were quickly resolved and I wished that they had been drawn out just a bit longer. Expect to laugh your ass off at least a few times, especially during the bath tub scene with Winston. The steamy scenes were seriously freaking HAWT!! Dean is pretty insatiable and I guarantee that you will either be taking a few cold showers, attacking your man, or spending some quality time with your Winstons.

This book releases on Jan 11^th and I know you’re all going to fall in love with this story and Dean!!

4.5 Stars!

Allie Hayes is a 22 yr. old college student at Briar University. She is in her senior year & about to graduate with a degree in drama. She is trying to get over a break up, and does something completely out of character. She has rebound sex with the gorgeous sexy hockey star Dean Di-Laurentis. Dean is known as a total manwhore. He’s arrogant, rich, superficial & the biggest flirt ever. She has one of the hottest sexual experiences of her life with Dean, but decides it can only be a one time thing, & nothing more.

-“If you want me, come and get me.”

-Sweet Lord. His gaze contains so much raw, palpable heat it startles a gasp out of me.

-I didn’t expect the intense sexual chemistry between us, but it’s here, and it’s addictive, and I don’t know how I can ever give it up.

-How is it that everything he does makes me smile?

After their one night together, Dean can’t quit thinking about Allie. He wants her again desperately, but she is the first woman who’s ever been immune to his charms & doesn’t fall at his feet. He just can’t get her out of his system, & pursues her relentlessly. He is used to always getting what he wants, but has met his match in this feisty blonde who turns him on like no one else.

Dean hasn’t ever had anyone pull the “just friends” card on him, so he has to work extra hard to change Allie’s mind about him. She is a relationship kind of girl & just doesn’t really take him seriously, but Dean can be very persuasive! ;)) I really LOVED this book!!! It was my favorite in this series. Dean in love just stole my heart! Adored his sense of humor & there was so much more to him. He’s intelligent, caring, & of course HOT, HOT, HOT!!! I highly recommend this book!!! 😀

*****Dee’s Review*****

**** 4 You, me, and Winston Stars****

(ARC received in exchange for an honest review)

Another deliciously funny love story by Elle Kennedy. The whole hockey gang is back to deliver even more hilarious antics, and sexy times. This time around it’s Dean De Laurentis’ turn; he is the famous player of the team. His fame is not only due to his notorious power with the hockey puck but because of his magic charm with the ladies. Well, he has found his match in Allie, a sassy girl who’s about to give him a run for his money…

This page turner will keep you highly entertained and laughing so much your belly will ache.

This couple was the perfect combination of sassy and sweet. Great chemistry and super fun banter.

The Score is a wonderful addition to the Off-Campus series, which is already a favorite amongst romance readers. Elle Kennedy’s writing style is always charming and incredibly entertaining, making this book another hit and one you definitely don’t want to miss.

REVIEW – MY KIND OF WONDERFUL (Cedar Ridge, #2) by Jill Shalvis

December 28, 2015April 1, 2016Leave a comment

SYNOPSIS:

UNEXPECTED AND UNDENIABLE…

Bailey Moore has an agenda: skiing in the Rockies, exploring castles in Europe, ballroom dancing in Argentina. Now that she has a second lease on life, she’s determined not to miss a thing. What she doesn’t realize is that item #1 comes with a six-foot-one ski god hot enough to melt a polar ice cap. She doesn’t want to miss out on him either, but Hudson Kincaid isn’t the type of guy to love and let go. And as gorgeous as Cedar Ridge is, she’s not planning to stick around.

As head of ski patrol at his family’s resort, Hud thinks he’s seen it all. But never has he run into someone like Bailey. She might look delicate, but her attitude is all firecracker. And her infectious joy touches something deep within him that he’s been missing far too long. Now he’ll just have to convince Bailey to take a chance on her biggest adventure yet . . . something rare and all kinds of wonderful.

Bailey Moore is a 24 yr. old woman who grew up in a small town south of Denver. She works as a graphic designer, but also enjoys painting on the side. Bailey has had a rough time these last few years, & feels like she has a new lease on life. For so long she never had time for anything but survival, but now she has a list of things she wants to do, & she plans to live life to the fullest!

Bailey has been commissioned to paint a mural at a family owned ski resort in Cedar Ridge, Colorado up in the Rockies. This is about two hours away from home, but she figures it’s also the perfect opportunity to learn to ski better & also complete some things on her list. What she doesn’t bargain for is the drop dead gorgeous Hudson Kincaid. Hud is the head of ski patrol at his family’s resort, & also a part time Cedar Ridge cop. He’s very close to his siblings & the person everyone can always count on. He gives so much of himself to the people he cares about. So much that there’s nothing left for himself. Between the resort, his jobs & family, there is little time left for down time or dating.

Hud meets Bailey & they both feel the sparks. There’s something between them, but they decide to keep things casual. Things soon become more complicated when real feelings develop. Hud doesn’t do relationships & Bailey doesn’t let anyone get too close to her, so they both have to come to terms with their feelings. Hud begins to make Bailey feel whole again as they fall hard for one another. They both try to resist, but it’s no use. They are already in over their heads & crazy about each other. I really enjoyed this book & can’t wait for Hud’s twin brother Jacob’s book! Every time I pick up a Jill Shalvis book I know I’m going to just fall in love with the guy & get a fantastic sexy love story that takes me away to a beautiful place & makes me want the next book right away! ;))

-“When I’m with you…”

-“I feel things. You make me feel things.”

-Everything about him did it for her.

-I know you care about me because I can feel it in every look you give me, in every touch.
