My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Quarterback Keeper by Isla Vaughn is a modern fake romance.

Kylian is willing to do anything to make his dying mother happy in her last days. Her one wish is to see him happy in a relationship. He runs into Gia, as a stowaway, on his boat. Gia  has lots of baggage from her previous relationship and is very skittish. They agree on a fake engagement to show Kylian’s mom he is happy and Gia gets a place to sleep and a sense of security. Between Kylian’s shady father and Gia’s ex, their relationship is very messy.

Isla Vaughn did not use a lot of dialogue in this book. It was more mental thoughts that portrayed the scenes. Because of that, you didn’t get a strong connection between the characters. It felt like the main characters had more of an inner battle with themselves that outshined their external feelings.

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups Series) by Sylvie Stewart and Marika Ray – Review by Danyel Owens

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups #3)Night Sweats and Hockey Nets by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets was the 3rd book in The Hot Flash Hookups Series by Marika Kay and Sylvie Stewart and definitely did not disappoint! I didn’t want to put it down! There were lots of scenes that literally made you laugh out loud!

I loved the instant chemistry between Nikolai and Chloe from the moment they met in the bar. Chloe, a recent widow, is wanting to find a little fun. Nikolai is a loving dad that is  fighting for custody of his daughter, Ayana, and not at all  looking for romance. Little does he know, she’s actually his coach’s daughter! He needs a nanny and she steps up to help. They try to deny their feelings but Ayana has other plans.

And Nikolai’s accent – definitely hot! And you could hear it through the whole book!

The scene at the end with Rhodes has me thinking that we might just get a Book 4 and I can’t wait to read it!
