I might have made it as an NFL quarterback, but I was still meโ€”still living in my hometown north of Nashville and tackling being a single dad. The media assumed I wore a halo beneath my helmet, but they didn’t know my tragic past. I was no angel.

Because the only woman I ever truly loved was the girl who stole my heart when it was committed to another, and I never recovered from the mess we created.

Seven years is a long time to wait for a second chance. I tried to move on and live without her. Now, Eden’s returned home to haunt me all over again, making me feel all the things I can’t deny when she’s near.

She might have her running shoes strapped on tight, but I’m desperate for her to stay this time. In order to do that, I need to find a way for us to put the past where it truly belongs, buried six feet deep with the person whose death still stands between us.

I didn’t become one of the best in the league by playing it safe. Eden’s always been mine, and it’s time she finally learns it, too.

Hard Checked, Ice Kings series, Stacey Lynn

Hard Checked, an all-new beautifully written, second-chance-at-love sports romance that will bring all the heat and feels from Stacey Lynn is available now!

Hard Checked

Ice Kings series

by Stacey Lynn

Blurb:

Iโ€™ve been checked hard into the boards, right off my skates, and Iโ€™m not only spinning out of controlโ€ฆ

I might just be falling in love all over again.

Getting served divorce papers was not how I planned spending New Years Day.

I probably shouldnโ€™t have gone to my favorite bar and gotten wasted trying to drown my sorrows.

I definitely shouldnโ€™t have spent the night passed out in the bed of the bartenderโ€™s daughter, Gigi.

And the absolute last thing I should have done was let my guard down and start having fun. Now Iโ€™m thinking of her all the timeโ€ฆ fantasizing about the things I want to do to Gigi.

Iโ€™m in the middle of the best hockey season of my life. I need my head in the game and my focus on the playoffs โ€“ not playing house with the gorgeous bartender who makes me feel more alive than I have in years.

Finding someone new so soon after a failed marriage isnโ€™t the smartest thing Iโ€™ve ever done.

But it just might be too late. Iโ€™ve been checked hard into the boards, right off my skates, and Iโ€™m not only spinning out of controlโ€ฆ

I might just be falling in love all over again.

*****

Excerpt:

Another set of drinks arrive at our table, served by a pair of small hands, with a tiny little broken heart tattoo on a ring finger and dark purple nail polish.

โ€œThanks, Gigi,โ€ I say, lifting my head and grinning at her.

She smirks at me. โ€œNo problem, hotshot. Dad wanted me to give you these but says itโ€™s last call.โ€

โ€œDamn,โ€ Jason groans. โ€œI didnโ€™t realize it was so late.โ€

โ€œYou can take off. Iโ€™m good.โ€

โ€œYou sure?โ€

โ€œYeah.โ€

He turns to Gigi whoโ€™s taken our empties and is starting to walk away.

I try. I try really hard to not let my gaze drop to her short, cut-off sweat shorts, to the length of her legs beneath them. The shape of her calves or to notice the dark red polish on her toenails.

I fail.

Miserably.

Thereโ€™s something so damn attractive about her petite size.

I grip my new beer bottle harder and take a healthy swig.

โ€œHey Gigi,โ€ Jason calls out. โ€œKeep this loser company for me so he doesnโ€™t get shit-faced before practice tomorrow?โ€

โ€œMe?โ€ Sheโ€™s turned, gaze bouncing from me to Jason and she frowns. โ€œYou need my help?โ€

โ€œNoโ€”โ€

โ€œYesโ€”โ€ Jason says at the exact time I disagree.

She smirks at Jason. โ€œSeems to me he doesnโ€™t need it.โ€

โ€œSometimes this asshole doesnโ€™t know what he needs.โ€ He slaps the table and slides out, holding out his arm in a gesture for Gigi to take his spot.

โ€œJasonโ€”โ€

He shrugs and holds out his fist. โ€œIโ€™ll pay the tab. You get home safely, yeah?โ€

โ€œYeah,โ€ I grumble and return his fist pump.

โ€œAnd youโ€™ll thank me for this someday, too.โ€

I watch him go, frowning.

What the fuck does that mean?

โ€œI can pretend to sit here until he leaves if you want to be alone.โ€

Her voice does something to me. Like a bug is happily leaping in my gut when she looks down at me, all that teal hair and new nose ring and tattoo peeking out from the wide collar of her sweatshirt.

Itโ€™s the collar Iโ€™m noticing. And the tattoo.

Not the thin, white strap of her bra.

Shit.

โ€œYou can sit. Please. You want Jasonโ€™s last beer?โ€

โ€œNah.โ€ Her nose crinkles and the soft light above the bar flints on her nose ring. I quickly look away as she slides in. โ€œIโ€™ve never acquired the taste for beer. No matter what kind it is, it always tastes like wet cardboard.โ€

โ€œYou know what cardboard tastes like?โ€

โ€œYeah. Like beer.โ€ She grins.

I grin back.

This girl is funny. Well-traveled.

Divorced. Cute. And fun.

The exact kind of temptation I do not need in my life right now. Yet as I sit across from her, taking in every little nuance about her like the freckle on the back of her hand, that broken heart tattooโ€ฆ I canโ€™t for the life of me think of an excuse to leave.

Hooked On Her, Ice Kings series, Stacey Lynn

Jason Taylor is hot on and off the ice and you’ll definitely want to find out why.

Hooked On Her

Ice Kings series

by Stacey Lynn

Blurb:

Tessa Chauncy is the best kind of trouble. Beautiful, sweet and completely off limits. Iโ€™ve sat by and watched other men drool after her and forced myself to stay in check. Hey, Iโ€™m in the NHL… I have self-control in spades.ย 

Except when it comes to her.

With the bat of her lashes and quick whip of that sharply pointed tongue Tessa can knockย grown men to their knees. Iโ€™ve seen them wither and crumble under her confident stareโ€” something Iโ€™m pretty sure she learned from sparring with me,ย thankyouverymuch.

But Iโ€™m not just falling for her. Iโ€™m down for the count.ย 

Sheโ€™s the girl I wanted, when wanting her was wrong.ย ย 

Sheโ€™s also my new roommate–

And oh yeah, my best friendโ€™s little sister.

Heaven help me, Iโ€™m probably going to get his fist to my face or his hockey stick shoved in very dangerous places for what Iโ€™m about to do, but I donโ€™t think I care anymore.ย 

Iโ€™m in love with my best friendโ€™s little sisterโ€ฆ.and Iโ€™m done waiting.

*****

Excerpt:

I scoop more chicken onto a folded chunk of naan and moan as I savor the taste. There are some decent restaurants where I live, all within walking distance, which is a bonus, but none are as good as Tandorโ€™s. I canโ€™t even piece together what makes it so delicious but itโ€™s mouth-watering amazing.

โ€œJesus, Tessa. Can you not sound like youโ€™re having an orgasm when you eat?โ€

I choke on my chicken and wash it down with my water. โ€œDonโ€™t like it, you can leave.โ€

โ€œBut then I wonโ€™t be able to share with you why Iโ€™m here.โ€

The chicken Iโ€™ve devoured rolls in my stomach. Obviously itโ€™s not because heโ€™s a nice guy. I lean back in my chair. โ€œWhat is it?โ€

He huffs a laugh and I hate he looks so damn good, smirking at me, shaking his head like Iโ€™m some amusing little thing.

โ€œYouโ€™re cute, Tessa. I ever tell you that?โ€

โ€œI think the day you took me to get stitches in my head, yeah. You bopped me on the nose with a finger and said โ€˜cute and tough, niceโ€™ before ignoring me the rest of the weekend.โ€

Iโ€™m mortified with myself. Heโ€™s not supposed to know these things, know how much I remember every.single.encounter with him ever.

His mouth opens a bit and he stares at me. Yeah. That dose of word vomit probably surprises the hell out of him too. But hell, in for a penny. He says he doesnโ€™t give a shit about what Sawyer thinks? He should know what I think.

โ€œIโ€™m pretty sure thatโ€™s the day I started having a crush on you.โ€

He doesnโ€™t take his eyes off me as he chews on what I think is chicken tikki masala. Slowly, he swallows and sets his own fork down. Leaning forward, elbows on the table, Iโ€™m tempted to drop my gaze to his mouth and watch his full lips move so sexily as he opens his mouth and asks, โ€œWant to know when it started for me? When I started facing the reality that it was my best friendโ€™s little sister that made my dick hard in my dreams at night and when I was on the road?โ€

Review – Scoring Off the Ice

Book Review, Ice Kings series, Scoring Off the Ice, Stacey Lynn

Moving on from cowboys … to hockey players so I think that’s an OK trade.

*****

Scoring Off the Ice

Ice King series

by Stacey Lynn

Blurb:

Sometimes scoring off the ice leads to the greatest rewards.

Iโ€™ve had only one goal in life since I first strapped on a pair of skatesโ€”make Americaโ€™s pro hockey league.

I left Denmark. I made it to the top. Now, Iโ€™m determined to be the best. No distractions. I eat, sleep, and breathe hockey.

Until my birthday when my teammates convince me to live a little.

But living a little takes on a whole new meaning when less than a year later Iโ€™m confronted with a crying baby on my doorstep, drooling on a note that declares heโ€™s mine.

Suddenly, I’m a single dad in way over my head.

There is no playbook for situations like this.

Luckily, I have Paisley.

My gorgeous neighbor, my long-time crush, and nowโ€”my savior.

Sheโ€™s there any time I need her.

Helping. Guiding. Gazing at me with those green eyes that make me feel capable of this after all.

With her at my side, Iโ€™m quickly learning thereโ€™s more to life than winning a hockey game.

*****

Excerpt:

โ€œWho are you?โ€ I donโ€™t like calling her the woman. Iโ€™ve wondered her name for months since she started appearing in that doorway so close to mine.

She turns to me and in her arms is the baby. Sheโ€™s holding a bottle and the baby is drinking. Quiet little sounds come from it and she grins down at the baby in her arms before tilting her head at me.

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œYou. What is your name?โ€

โ€œPaisley. Are you Mikah?โ€

She must want money if she knows my name. Perhaps sheโ€™s a fan. A puck bunnyโ€”thatโ€™s what my teammates call the girls who follow players and only want one thing from them.

โ€œHow did you know?โ€ I wish she wasnโ€™t so pretty. Sometimes it hurts to talk when all I want to do is look at her.

She points to an envelope on the table. The note.

โ€œItโ€™s on the outside. I didnโ€™t know if it was your name or the babyโ€™s, so I took a guess. Are you… are you okay?โ€

โ€œA stranger shows up at my door with a baby in her arms, saying itโ€™s mine. How okay am I supposed to be?โ€ I wander to the table while I ask.

Iโ€™m surprised by her gentle laugh.

โ€œI suppose this isnโ€™t your typical Friday night.โ€

She is funny. If I didnโ€™t think I might throw up, I might laugh. No. This is not my typical Friday night. Mine are for resting. Not life-changing drama.

I say nothing and grab the envelope. I stare at it for a moment. Perhaps if I do not open it, I can pretend this didnโ€™t happen. My fingers shake as I tear it open.

The envelope is larger than normal and thick and Iโ€™m careful as I pull out several folded papers.

The top one is the most important though as I instantly see my name, written in scrolling black ink.

MIKAH,

His name is Angelo.

*****

Review:

Scoring Off the Iceย is a sweet, slow-build romance about a couple of strangers (who have been long-distance lusting after each other) getting thrown into sending time with each other thanks to an unexpected bundle of joy. Time spent with baby Angelo allows Mikah and Paisley to get to know each other and to finally figure out if their attraction to each other can turn into something more.

I didn’t realize that when I chose this one that it falls into the New Adult category. I don’t usually read these – I’m a woman of a certain age (*snicker*) and I tend to just not connect with the characters or their situation. And while this one was better than some I’ve read, I did feel like the ending was a little rushed and handled poorly by the characters.

You knew going in that there was definitely going to have to be some baby-mama drama, and there was, but Mikah handled it very poorly and I felt that Paisley forgave him a little too easily. It was in the last 10% of the book, so since it happened at the end that’s what I left with instead of the many enjoyable pages of Mikah learning to be a dad and Paisley & Mikah getting to know each other … but I do think maybe a little more attention should have been given to the issue.

This one is getting a lot of positive reviews so just because NA is not my cup of tea doesn’t mean that it isn’t a good read. Lynn is a strong writer and her storylines are solid with interesting characters. I enjoyed getting to know both Paisley & Mikah and I’m definitely intrigued by some of Mikah’s older teammates so I’ll be giving other books in this series a go.

Knocked Up, Stacey Lynn

After reading the sneak peek for this one it immediately went on my TBR list!!

*****

Knocked Up

by Stacey Lynn

Publication Date: June 12th, 2018

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Blurb:

First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes baby in a baby carriage. Just not necessarily in that order….

Braxton: I should probably be dead or in jail right now. Instead, thanks to some tough love, I worked my ass off and now I own a string of tattoo parlors throughout the Pacific Northwest. And yet the one thing Iโ€™ve always wantedโ€”a familyโ€”still seems out of reach. When my best friend gets married, Iโ€™m just hoping to blow off some steam with the super-hot maid of honor. But after Cara Thompson tracks me down to tell me sheโ€™s pregnant, sheโ€™s more surprised than I am when I tell her Iโ€™m all in.

Cara: For the first time in my life, Iโ€™m living for myselfโ€”not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And whatโ€™s the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god,ย Braxton Henley seems way too eager to โ€œbe there for me.โ€ Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he wonโ€™t back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one night stand mightโ€™ve led me to the one.

Excerpt:

I quickly take everything off and drape the paper sheet over my lap, leaving my socks on, and when Iโ€™m ready, the edges of the sheet tucked under my thighs and backside, Pam knocks on the door.

โ€œReady?โ€ she calls as sheโ€™s already pushing open the door.

โ€œYup.โ€ I sound like Iโ€™m about ready to croak, and Braxtonโ€™s deep, rumbling chuckle worsens my rattled nerves. He kissed me!

I raise my hand to my mouth and as my fingertips press my lips, theyโ€™re taken away, gripped in Braxtonโ€™s warm hold. He smiles down at me knowingly and I force my attention on Pam.

She pulls the internal monitor out of the drawer, along with a bottle of lubricant and a condom, and Braxtonโ€™s grip on my hand turns almost bone-crushing.

โ€œIs thatโ€”โ€

โ€œYup.โ€ I cut him off.

โ€œUm.โ€

โ€œNow you see why I wanted the external one,โ€ I mutter quietly.

I canโ€™t look at him. My cheeks are on fire, and for some absolutely insane reason, other parts of my body are warming and this should not be happening at my midwifeโ€™s office.

โ€œSo,โ€ Pam says, turning around and back to business. Except itโ€™s hard to take her seriously as she waves what looks like a massive vibrator in her hand. โ€œWeโ€™re going to insert this inside of you.โ€

โ€œHoly shit,โ€ Braxton mutters. And God, kill me. Please kill me now.

If Pam hears him, she ignores him as she steps toward me, and pulls out a set of stirrups from beneath the table. โ€œIโ€™m going to need you to lie down, Cara, and spread your legs, and slip down to the edge of the bed for me.โ€

โ€œI feel like Iโ€™ve heard this before,โ€ I say, unable to stop myself. My filter has evaporated along with my self-respect and all of this is so absolutely humiliating.

Pam pauses, glances at me and then at Braxton and nods, understanding. But I swear, as her gaze sweeps down Braxtonโ€™s arms, even she blushes. Which is great . . . my midwife thinks my non-boyfriend baby daddy is hot.

โ€œI feel like Iโ€™ve said this before,โ€ Braxton says, and both of our eyes whip to him. My gracious. Heโ€™s smiling, shoulders shaking like heโ€™s holding back the worldโ€™s most boisterous laugh, and itโ€™s all I can do to not kill him while heโ€™s standing there, glancing between the monitor-slash-vibrator and my spread legs and I canโ€™t hold it in anymore.

โ€œThis is embarrassing.โ€

Pam is back to business, already spreading the condom over the phallic-shaped instrument, and then she drizzles on the lubricant.

Braxtonโ€™s breath brushes over my cheeks. His dark locks tickle my temple as he whispers, โ€œI feel like I should be offering to help with this.โ€

โ€œShut up,โ€ I grit, my stomach muscles clenching from trying not to die or laugh. โ€œThis isnโ€™t funny.โ€

โ€œOh. This is the funniest thing Iโ€™ve ever seen, Iโ€™m not going to lie.โ€

My fingers squeeze his hand and Pam is in front of me. She holds a small black box in her other hand and the tip of the wand against my center. โ€œIโ€™ll go slow, and it might be cold, okay?โ€

โ€œYup.โ€

โ€œSweet Jesus,โ€ Braxton whispers. โ€œI donโ€™t know whether to be terrified or turned on right now, Cara.โ€

*****

Filthy Player

A Rough Riders Novel

by Stacey Lynn

Release Date: October 9th

Blurb:

The Raleigh Rough Riders are back, and this time Super Bowl Quarterback Beaux Hale finds himself playing the most important game of his life.

Every woman knows Beaux Hale is nothing but a player. Yet the first time he walks into Paige Hallowayโ€™s restaurant and flashes his sexy grin, she feels a heat between them spark. Too bad he opens his mouth and ruins it.

He may think his money, fame, and sexy looks will attract any womanโ€”but heโ€™s wrong.

Paige doesnโ€™t have time for a man. Sheโ€™s too busy keeping a roof over her head and taking care of her father to care about relationships.

Lucky for Beaux, heโ€™s a man who’s ready to use all the plays at his disposal. He didnโ€™t bring his team a Super Bowl victory by giving up at the first block in his pathโ€”and Paige Halloway has just become his new long-game.

Beaux also knows that sometimes, in order to win and claim your prize, you have to get a little bit filthy.

Excerpt:

โ€œYou know, youโ€™re not anything like I really imagined you were.โ€

โ€œIs that a compliment?โ€

โ€œI suppose it might be.โ€ Her lips twisted like she didnโ€™t want to admit it. I couldnโ€™t stop from chuckling. Why did this woman dislike me? Instead of it turning me off, I was curious.

โ€œOkay, then, how about this. You take care of my truck, Iโ€™ll do your favor, and then tonight, you let me take you out for dinner.โ€

โ€œYou donโ€™t even know what the favor is.โ€

โ€œDoesnโ€™t matter. Iโ€™ll still do it, and I still want you across the table from me so I can keep proving how much of a non-asshole I am.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re sort of pushy, you know that?โ€

โ€œI prefer โ€˜determinedโ€™ when I see something I want.โ€ I flicked my hand out. โ€œWhatโ€™s the favor?โ€

โ€œShe glanced toward the door to the garage and sighed again. โ€œMy dadโ€™s a fanโ€”โ€

โ€œJust your dad?โ€ I teased.

She huffed, lips pressed into a pout and continued, ignoring me. โ€œItโ€™s just, I was wondering, it doesnโ€™t have to be much, nothing big at allโ€ฆbut could you autographโ€”โ€

โ€œDone.โ€ We had boatloads of crap in the marketing department I could grab. Iโ€™d take care of it and blow her mind with my generosity. And it wasnโ€™t just because I tried to do everything I could for fans, but because she was pretty when she blushed.

Even prettier as her eyes went soft when she mentioned her dad.

Spectacular as she gritted out her favor like asking for something from someone was worse than getting teeth pulled without Novocain.

โ€œYeah?โ€ she asked. โ€œThatโ€™d be really great. But dinner, I donโ€™t know.โ€

The pretty little liar. Her blush told me she wanted it. โ€œTonight, whenever. You make the call, and itโ€™s not payback for the favor or you fixing my truck. I just want to share a meal with you.โ€

โ€œWhy? Because you want in my pants?โ€

Her tone was snippy and her shoulders tightened. Sheโ€™d handed me a loaded gun and hell if I was going to shoot myself with it.

I closed the five feet of space between us, making her step backward until she was almost plastered to my truck.

โ€œI do want in your pants, Paige. Any American male who watches you for longer than two seconds probably wants the same. And Iโ€™ll take my time getting there if I have to, so Iโ€™m not going to be a dick and lie, and Iโ€™m not being a dick by being honest. Iโ€™m just honest. But dinner is because youโ€™re pretty, and for some reason I canโ€™t explain, I want to know why you look so damn exhausted, why you just asking me for help made you look like you want to puke, and why you did it anyway. So basically, I just want to talk to you. Get to know you. Iโ€™m interested and Iโ€™m not going to hide that either. Itโ€™s not my style.โ€

โ€œWow.โ€ Her cheeks had turned pink while I was talking and by the time I was done, her lips were parted. โ€œThatโ€™s a lot to discuss at dinner.โ€

โ€œThen weโ€™ll tack on drinks and dessert at the end.โ€

Author Info:

Stacey Lynn currently lives in Minnesota with her husband and four children.

Gingerbread Man is #NowLive! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰New Release!๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ These two wear their hearts on their sleeves and itโ€™s just the sweetest! Read my full review to see if Against the Rush is for you. The devil's in the details when a struggling business owner agrees to marry an enigmatic stranger in exchange for his help. Check out my review to find out why a little patience goes a long way with these two! Check out my review to find out why maybe I'm not giving NA romances the attention they deserve. I have one simple rule: donโ€™t date professional baseball players. There are no exceptions, no workaroundsโ€ฆnot even for Grant Navarro. He's a shy hockey heartthrob. "This is only the second of this authorโ€™s books that Iโ€™ve read and Iโ€™m looking forward to more. Her mains are likeable, interacting well together with a good combination of humor & heat, and she does well at giving us intriguing secondary characters."
