Others: PositiveShe's the only woman he wants...and the only one he can't have. Asher Donovan is a living legend―the darling of the Premier League, the (arguably) greatest footballer in the world. But his reckless antics and recent team transfer have caused much controversy, and when his feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them a championship, they're forced to "bond" during off-season cross-training. Surviving the summer shouldn't be hard…until Asher meets their new trainer. She's beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't take his mind off her. The only problem? She's his rival's sister―and completely off limits. Scarlett DuBois is a former prima ballerina whose career was cut short by a tragic accident. Now a teacher at a prestigious dance academy but still haunted by the ghosts of her past, the last thing she wants is to spend the summer cross-training Asher Donovan, of all people. She swore she would never date a footballer, but when her brother leaves town for an emergency, she finds herself thrown into dangerously close proximity with the gorgeous, charming striker. Training, she can deal with. But falling in love? That's out of the question―especially when he's the only person with the power to break her heart.

Others: MixedWho meets their soulmate shopping for bagels in a supermarket bakery aisle? Before I moved to the small town of Silver Hills, I would have told you no one. But the second I meet Henley Ward, I'm swept away. He is everything I look for in a man: tall, strong and so handsome. Our instant attraction, spirited banter, and heated glances leave a lasting impression... Until I see him again. Like a raging tornado, he storms into the school ready to take on the teacher who has crushed his daughter's spirit. The dedication this man has to his three daughters could be the sexiest thing I have ever seen. Before we know it, we are stealing kisses in his kitchen and secretly getting together any chance we can. I know I should stay away from Henley so I don't lose my job, and his focus is on raising the girls and being the best wide receiver in football, but our attraction is intense and the draw between us is too tempting to resist. I can only hope our secret love will survive when our truth is revealed. Secret Love is book two in The Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be read as a complete standalone.

Others: PositiveA dark paranormal/ fantasy romance from bestselling author, Sadie Kincaid. Every few millennia, a child is born. Some say they’re marked with a curse. Others claim they possess the power of the ages. Meet Ophelia Hart. Lover of classic literature and unicorns. An orphan with nobody in her corner—no family, no friends. But it’s her loneliness that fuels her life’s ambition to become a social worker and help the forgotten children just like her.

Too bad she comes to the attention of the three ruthless, arrogant commanders of the Ruby Dragon Society. Three of the most feared and powerful vampires on campus.

Because there is something about Ophelia Hart. Something that captures not only the attention of the Ruby Dragon commanders, but also their powerful, enigmatic sire—Professor Alexandros Drakos.

And she needs to do it fast, for there are darker forces at work than those at Montridge University. Forces that were long ago Forged in Blood. Forged in Blood is book one in a trilogy.

Loved itThis one actually just got released in paperback, but it was originally only on audio and that's Two Can Play. And I can see why. The audio book was amazing.
