I feel like I ran to read this second book. After a cliffhanger like that I immediately knew I had to come finish it to see what happens between Kate and Chamberlin. Just like the first book I felt like I devoured this book almost instantly lol. Also like the first one it’ll have your emotions all over the place 🤣 but I feel like this book made me love love love Chamberlin even more. This author always knows how to write a captivating story. I truly can not wait to read more from this author and this series. If you haven’t read the first book I highly suggest you read before starting this one.

I absolutely loved this story! I can’t wait to read the rebel series now! I need more 😊

Read the trigger warnings; some of those themes are pretty heavy. I don’t have triggers but I sure did bawl a couple moments, the situations were written so well, you empathize with characters and it breaks your heart reading their stories.
I could not even believe a few things I read, leaving my mouth open in shock, which makes me NEED to read the series to get more details on the what, where, who, when etc

Drew and Katie met at a Halloween party and had a pretty eventful night when they git chased by the police. Neither of them expected that they would end up falling for each other. Drew was busy building up his IT business and playing hockey. He didn’t have time for much else. Kat had been burned one time too many by guys using her to get a shot at meeting the professional players. Even though they have an amazing chemistry word in her inner circle says that Drew is known as “Mr. Casual”. Can they really have a serious relationship? This is only the second book I have read in this series but it is a great standalone. The author made the characters both relatable and likeable. Although it is a quick read, it is enjoyable and engaging.

Wildfire Knockout by Brooke May

Book88/50 was 5⭐️!

This is the third book (novella) in The Predator Series, and they just keep getting better and better!

This novella follows Beth, her time to shine in the ring, and her decision as to whether or not she should let Scott near the walls she’s worked so hard to build around herself.

You definitely need to read the previous books to know who the characters are and what they are going through in order to get a complete picture of what’s happening. You don’t want to miss out on this series! (4 books in total) So, I recommend you start with “The Predator: Part One” and go from there!

You won’t regret it!!

As always,
Happy Reading! 🩷

I have read a couple books from The Playmakers series and loved them, so I picked this up immediately! This author has such an amazing way of drawing you in and never letting go until long after the end of the book. It’s a pretty quick read but it doesn’t feel like anything is missing, which is an incredible feat. This wonderful sports romance has a sublime combination of sweet, spicy, and sassy. I laughed out loud several times throughout this book! Katie and Drew are amazing characters who are very well-developed. Their chemistry is top notch and believable. I highly recommend picking this up if you’re in need of some laughs, spice, and romance. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!

This is book 10 in The Playmakers series. This is a contemporary romance which I loved. There was fun, laughter, romance, loads of chemistry and finding love when you don’t want it or expect it.
Even though this is part of a series these books can be read as a standalone as it focuses on a different couple although there are references of characters in other books.
In this book we meet Drew and Katie.
Drew and Katie meet at a fancy dress Halloween party. Neither of them is looking for romance Drew is busy focusing on his career and Katie is going through a man hating phase.
But when they meet they can’t deny the chemistry between them.
As they start to spend more time together, their not wanting a relationship turns into a relationship being something they both want. However that journey won’t be straight forward and the couple will need to go through some ups and downs before they get their happy ever after.
I loved this story. It was a really sweet romance and the humour and banter between Drew and Katie really brought this story to life for me.

I loved reading part two! Katie ( K.C. And Chamberlain saw eachother at his fight at the end of part 1. Now they are in the same state and Chnerlain will stop at nothing to get his girl back. He has never stopped
Loving her or looking for her. Will they get a second chance after all this time with all the secrets ? Will Katie be able to tell him why she left and what she found out right before she left? I. The last 4 years so much has changed for both of them. He is a well known, well respected fighter and she is….well a mom to a little girl!
Katie may have run out and not
Looked back but As fate would have it, They are both at the same water park, at the same time. That is when Chamberlain sees Marissa.

So much happens in this book, I was sucked in from the cliffhanger in part one and couldn’t wait to see how their story went.

When Katie’s dad comes out of the wood work claiming that he has Katie and Chamberlain’s support, when neither of them want anything to do with her family after what pain they caused them, chamberlain vows to make everything right and see the record straight.
This series is quite addicting and cannot wait to see what happens in future books and how Scott and Beth get along. Another great 5* read. Looking forward to more!

This book did have me from the get go- the opening is filled with a flurry of events. I haven’t read any of the other books in the series. I’m not sure if this would work better fit in under publication order, or if it would work better in a timeline order. I liked it, and I’m intrigued enough that I’ll look into the other books in the series when I get time. I’m not much for rockstar romances; but so far so good.

After reading the first book and having been left on a cliff hanger, I knew I needed to read this book. I was not disappointed at all. Since this is the second part, I highly suggest reading the first one to understand what is going on because It does pick up right where the other left off. I was fully engrossed with this book and everything that was written on the pages. I didn’t and couldn’t put it down. I was so engaged in it, that everything else was put on hold in my life until this book was finished. The said, this book is a quick read. lol. It contains all the steam, angst, love, drama, plotting, scheming, suspense, and emotions, that you could ever want in a book. Even though this is the second book in the series I felt like it was even better than the first. Might be because it is the conclusion of the couple but I just felt like this one was a quicker read than the first. There is so much drama and scheming going on with people in this book that I was feeling all of the emotions and getting frustrated with people around me for no reason at all. They were just breathing but I couldn’t handle that and everything that was going on in the book. I can not wait for the next book in this series.

We pick up with Katie and Chamberlain’s story 4 years later. Katie is settled and living in Denver with her aunt and her aunt’s partner. Katie has just graduated college with a teaching degree but is currently working as a server in “gentleman’s club”. Katie finally gives in to her friend Beth about going out. Beth takes Katie to a fight that her boyfriend is promoting.

To Katie’s complete horror, Chamberlain is fighting that night. She sees him. He sees her. She can’t believe her luck. Of all the fighters in the world, why did it have to be him? Chamberlain can’t believe his luck. He has been searching for Katie for four long, torturous years. Now, she is there watching him, close to him, and from the look on her face angry with him. Chamberlain isn’t going to give up searching for her, especially since he knows where she is now. He is going to find her.

I was all about the reunion. With the way things went down, I was devastated that Katie got shipped off without being able to at least talk to Chamberlain and find out what really went down. If he felt anything for Gwen (which, of course, he did not because it was completely obvi that he was all in on Katie, but what do 19 year olds know?). I do think he should have had to grovel a little more, be sweet a little more, beg a little more. But Katie was also withholding a great big secret from him. So, I guess maybe he groveled enough?? I loved the way Chamberlain was all in from the moment he realized. There was no doubt in his mind.

I don’t want to give away the big stuff in this story so I will just say that I was super happy with the way it all went down. Chamberlain did it right (on sooooo many levels, on soooooo many things). Great read. Totally worth the time and emotional investment. I love Marissa. She is by far my favorite. Big 💙for her!

The Predator: Part Two (The Predator Series Book 2)

If you haven’t read the first book in the series you need to stop what you’re doing and binge book one. Otherwise there will be gaps and events that don’t make sense. Then you can grab this one.

I fell in love with Chamberlain and Katie in book one. I fell deeper in love with them in book two.

Their story isn’t a short one, took over four years to find their way with obstacles along the way with the biggest being her family.

Their story is a sweet one, but definitely stressed me out at times. Thankfully Karma has the last word. The family they built wasn’t traditional, but it works for them in the best possible way.

I really had a hard time putting this book down, finished half of it in one evening with my family interrupting me. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next.

I think my favorite part was Vegas with the aquarium coming in a close second. Not going to give anything away, hope you love this as much as I did.

This book is a fantastic follow up to the first book. It picks up right where the first one left off, so I would highly recommend reading these in order. I was pulled straight back into these characters and the journey they are going on. Their connection is just as intense as I remember and I was probably even more invested in them this time around.
I loved the story and how the author moved it forward in this book. It had a slightly different feel to the first book but it was just as good to read. I love this author and the versatility she seems to bring to all of her work. This is a brilliant story and a fantastic follow up to the first story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

G. K. Brady’s Love Rinkside follows full-time consultant and part-time amateur hockey player Drew, and Katie, who works with his sister. They meet properly at a Halloween party, talk about how they are both rinkside as they are close to professional hockey players but don’t play professional hockey, and spend the next month trying not to fall for each other, as they both said they wanted to stay single. Neither of them manage to stick to this plan, and neither of them know how to communicate this to the other, which results in heated arguments and grand romantic gestures. I felt like the falling in love part happened fast, but it was probably because it was a short book. It’s also not as much of a hockey romance as I expected, as Drew plays amateur hockey and we only seem to read about one game, but either way it is definitely a short, easy, fun read!

The minute I found that this was a rockstar romance, I was ready to jump in. Please as always make sure you check trigger warnings. Your mental health is important to you and to those around you. After finishing I realized that this is a prequel. Which I truly do not mind. It actually makes me more excited to read the others in this. We see each band member and the way they work with each other and against. This was a fun read for sure.

Blurring the Lines & Extras (The Blind Rebels Series) by Amy Kaybach – Review by Jessica Stone

So this book is a novella/prequel for the blind rebel series and it has two parts. It’s really interesting to be able to go back after reading the first few books in the series and to see what happened before the events of those books.

If you like drugs, sex and rock n roll then this story is for you. It follows each member of the rebels and Becka and how she met Mav. Each chapter is from a different perspective which I enjoy reading a lot to gain the insight into these different character and the first part really focuses on Becka and her trauma and need and Mav and all the craziness going on in his life. You get to see the instant connection between them and their relationship form. I really enjoy how unhinged Becka is if I’m going to be honest, maybe not the healthiest ways of coping are utilized by her and she’s a wee bit of a nut case but I’m always routing for a girl who knows what she wants and goes for it.
The second half focuses on everyone else in the band a bit more, introducing them a bit more than the snippets you get in the first half.

I enjoyed the writing style and the bouncing around to different characters I believe it kept this read at a fast pace while still divulging the information it needed to while touching on some hard subjects without being to subjective which is sometimes hard to do when touching on drugs and addiction, alcoholism and other such topics. While I would highly recommend this read, especially if you are going to read The Blind Rebels series I would suggest double checking your trigger warns before starting, otherwise I would say dive right in and enjoy, I definitely did. There are a few bonus chapters at the end of the novella which are from the other books, I feel like this book could be read before the series if you chose, I don’t feel like you would be lost if so but I also think that reading the other books and then coming back to this one really brings things full circle.

Part two of this series is the conclusion and the make-up sex part of K.C and Chamberlain’s story. These two rediscover each other after years of rebuilding themselves and trying to “get over” the other. However, their connection is still there making all the sex worth it!

I enjoyed their reunion but felt like something was missing in this book. Felt more like this was the buildup for Beth and her story. Don’t get me wrong, the sex was really good!

Love these characters and look forward to what they may get into in future stories.

A lighthearted and heartwarming sports romance novella, which kept me happily turning the pages. Drew is a workaholic with no time for relationships, but then he meets an unknown woman in a mascot costume at a Halloween party. Katie has had enough of men, especially those using her to get close to the professional sports team. Then she meets a guy dressed as a giant banana slug at a party, only to be pursued by police. Following an adventurous night running from the cops the couple go on a date. Although their first date didn’t go as planned after Katie’s dog attacked Drew, they decide to take a second chance. Just as the couple’s relationship is developing Drew’s work demands leave Katie fearing another painful rejection. This is a quick and entertaining read, with likeable characters and a storyline with plenty of humour and romance. The chemistry between Katie and Drew is spicy and steamy. An enjoyable and engaging novella.

The Predator Part Two picks up after the first book in the series, so I definitely recommend you reading the first book to continue on to part two. Katie and Chamberlain’s story continues and there is so much left unsaid….this second chance romance with its definite secrets, greed, drama also tells a tale of forgiveness, love and a true emotional roller coaster. This story had it all and really loved knowing what happens with the aftermath from the first book.

Chamberlain and Katie’s love rebuilds back to what was lost, and makes the most out of their time apart. I really loved their story and I cannot wait to dive into Beth and Scott’s story next!

I read this novella without reading any of the Blind Rebels series. I enjoyed this novella. I was entertained by the world of rock n roll. I haven’t previously read stories about rock stars. I’m glad I started with the Blind Rebels. It was captivating to learn about the bands and the lives they live off stage. I loved the Blind Rebels band members and their dynamic. They seem like a lot of fun to hang around. I liked Maverick’s character the most. He is gentleman like, honest, and noble. I found myself despising Becka’s character, though. I found her to be manipulative and untrustworthy, and I felt bad for the way she treated Maverick. The romance scenes between the two, however, were steamy and exciting.
The extra chapters left me wanting to read the rest of the Blind Rebels series. I’m sure they add clarity to the series. For me, they were a bit confusing. I felt as though I really should have read the rest of the series before reading them. Overall, I recommend this novella to readers who have read the rest of the series or readers wanting to start the series. I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the Blind Rebels stories!

Blurring the Lines & Extras (The Blind Rebels)

I have not read any of the earlier books about Blind Rebels so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but figured it would be okay since this is a prequel of the series. Had no opinions on anyone, but that quickly changed with Becka. That girl is unhinged.

Mav, Cal, Kill and Sam go through their ups and downs as most bands do and appear to come out stronger than before. I’ll find out for sure once I read this series.

While reading the extras it gave me a glimpse of what is to come for me and maybe a few spoilers, but that is more than okay. I will definitely read that section again after I have read the series. Might have to give up sleep to do it but that’s okay.

Chamberlain has been on the professional boxing circuit for four years. The entire time, he has been celibate, confident he would find Katie. A private investigator fails to find her. When Katie was disowned, her father sent her to Denver to live with his sister, Jackie. Jackie is a lesbian and has also been disowned by the Cunningham family. Katie was thankful for her Aunt and her partner, Karmin’s support during her pregnancy. She met Beth while she was at a grocery store when her water broke. Beth had helped Katie get to the hospital and stayed while she gave birth to Marissa Fiona Lawrence. Seeing Chamberlain’s Denver fight has Katie scared, but she knows Chamberlain needs to meet his daughter sometime. When they meet at the aquarium, Katie knows that Chamberlain will be a great father to Marissa.

The love story between Chamberlain and Katie continues. I found Chamberlain’s belief in his love for Katie endearing. Scott is loyal for remaining by his side throughout the four years that Chamberlain was searching for Katie. Internet searches, a private investigator, and an attempt to get Katie’s family to tell Chamberlain where she was didn’t dissuade him. Marissa’s sassy attitude and obvious ability to interpret feelings makes her a challenge for everyone. There are several moments in the plot that I wanted to shake Katie for her indecisiveness. Appearances by their past “baggage” add intrigue to the unpredictable plot. By the end of the story, I could see Scott and Beth as a distinct possible continuation of this series. The amazing detail and engaging dialogue add even more depth to this amazing story. This is a five-star romance novel that I couldn’t put down.

This is a prequel/novella to the Blind Rebels series. I definitely think you want to read the series before you tackle this one. This is a story that revolves around a band that are friends and brothers. I found myself a little lost and definitely wanting more, but at the same time, some things as I kept reading suddenly made sense! I would definitely want to delve into this series. The relationships between the band members are deep and I loved how the author followed their journey.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurring the Lines is a prequel to the Blind Rebels series, with some extra content such as scenes from the later books from different perspectives. I haven’t read the Blind Rebels series yet and found that Blurring the Lines itself is perfectly enjoyable to read on its own (and to get a taste of the style and characters before committing to the series) but the extras make less sense out of context and could be a bit spoilery. So I’d recommend either reading Blind Rebels first or reading Blurring the Lines followed by Blind Rebels, then coming back to the extras later.

Blurring the Lines is a story of the rock & roll lifestyle taken to the extremes. Multiple characters seem to be on a self-destructive trajectory and with changing perspectives in the narrative we don’t totally know what’s going on in their heads. I’m keen now to read more of the series to learn how the characters cope in the aftermath of this story.

I particularly like Sammy, who is really doing his best to keep everyone as ok as they can be. I hope we learn more about him in the other books!

This book gets four stars from me. I’d recommend it to readers who like dark, emotional stories and are interested in the music industry.

Me being me, read the Note to the Reader and instead of reading the rest of the series first, just dove right in. It was definitely enough to make me want to read the entire series.
I was shocked through Part 1 and then Part 2 started, leaving me so intrigued that I knew I’d be ditching the rest of my tbr pole as little longer so that I could binge this series, even if I do know a few spoilers now.
I can’t wait to learn more about the guys. May may be my favorite, the twins seem complicated albeit intriguing; I don’t know if I’m ready to learn more about Sammy, it might crush me.
