Swans Book Review

This was a really emotionally book where I sympathised with the male main character rather than the female.  She had no right to put all the blame on Hawke for something she decided on. Hawke has it going on. He is the defenceman for the Cold Fury Ice Hockey Team and when he's off the ice, there is nothing holding him back from partying and having a good time. Nothing can mess with him.  Except something did and it's in the form of his ex-girlfriend, Vale Campell, walking back into life after she dumped him. Vale Campell is a complicated girl and I did not like her.  She removed almost all the blame from her and Hawke's breakup from herself.  Who does that? It was Vale's idea to break up with Hawke, he even came after her, all for nought.  Then some months later, she decides to contact him and when he does not respond, she blames him for not loving her and walking away from their relationship. I mean really, really Vale.  Me...

Title: Hawke (Cold Fury, Book #5) Author: Sawyer Bennett Release Date: March 15, 2016 Synopsis: The New York Times bestselling hockey series featuring the Carolina Cold Fury continues as the team’s most notorious party animal gets blindsided by the one that got away. Off the ice, elite defenseman Hawke Therrien enjoys his fair share of booze and good times. And why shouldn’t he? He’s worked his way up from the minor leagues and made himself a star. The only thing Hawke misses from that life is the pierced, tattooed free spirit who broke his heart without so much as an explanation. She’s almost unrecognizable when she walks back into his life seven years later—except for the look in her eyes that feels like a punch to the gut. Vale Campbell isn’t the same girl she was at twenty. As crazy as she was about Hawke, her reckless behavior and out-of-control drinking were starting to scare her. She had to clean up her act, and that would never happen with Hawke a...

This is my first book by  +Nicole Michaels  and the book was entertaining, but to me, it was not all that great. Some of the problems in the book were not believable to me, but weirdly, I still had fun reading. Callie Daniels is a triple threat. She owns and operates her own Bakery, contributes to a popular lifestyle blog and she is the new dance coach at the local high school. She believes that you have to work hard in order to get what you want, and has thrown herself head first into her work, leaving no time for dating. Bennett Clark is the football coach of the town's football team and believes in playing by the rules. When he got his first glimpse of the dance instructor, it blew his mind.  But Bennett learned his lesson about love the hard way and wants nothing to do with the sexy teacher. That is, until some sneaky manipulation on the principal part has them as partners in a charity dance competition.  And that's all she wrote. I was co...

Body Checked by Katherine Stark Publication date: August 18th 2015 Genres: New Adult, Romance, Suspense Synopsis: SERGEI DRAKONOV. The newest left wing for the Washington Eagles hockey team is a triple threat: muscle, roughed-up good looks, and a dangerous tabloid reputation. Not the kind of guy who fits into Jael Pereira’s five-year plan. Jael doesn’t have time for a relationship, between her challenging senior year course load and her stiflingly dull internship at the FBI. But for one steamy night, she gives in to Sergei and his smooth-talking ways. Sergei wants more than just another one-night stand. But his brother—a high-ranking member of the Russian mob—wants him to help the family business. He can use Sergei as an easy way to launder money, or to smuggle drugs on the Eagles team plane. And if Sergei doesn’t agree, he can kiss his skating career goodbye. The FBI’s been watching Sergei. When they learn about Jael’s fling, they want her to persu...

I don't really like baseball but how can I resist this book cover.  The description of the book was interesting as well.  My vow to read books from authors I have not heard about helps as well and this is what I think about my new discovery. Nikki Case is no fan of baseball. After having to clean up the mess of her ex-husband's gambling debts, Nikki wants nothing to do with the sport. Things don't go her way when she is assigned to manage the image of a Baseball team. The New Jersey Sonics are well known for their womanizing ways and drunken brawls. Expecting the worse, Nikki goes in with the big guns but was met with opposition. The team was not as she was expecting, especially smoking hot, star hitter, Jake Baldwin, who has the power to make her wet. Jake Baldwin admires the way that Nikki seems that she is made of steal.  After being pranked left and right by his team members, Jake watched as Nikki took it all in stride.  She was labeled the frost queen...

I heard about this author in a young adult book I was reading and I instantly went out to the library to see if I found any of his books.  This is the only one they have by E . Lynn Harris.
