Synopsis 

ASHTON 

If there’s one thing I know, it’s how to play the game…both on and off the field. If it hadn’t been for that one teenage slipup where I kissed Beau Campbell, I’d be able to keep fooling myself. Football is the one thing I use to distract myself from the truth, and when I screw-up and lose the game I love, I find myself right back in Fever Falls. And right back face-to-face with Cranky Campbell, who hates me even more than he did when we were kids. Whatever magic he held over me then is still there. As much as I fight it, I still want him. And I always get what I want…well, except with Beau, who constantly calls me on my crap. Why do I like that so much? 

BEAU 
I might’ve spent years watching Ash live out my dream—without the off-field antics and orgies with women, at least—but I’ve made a good life for myself. I’m a firefighter, and I coach my brother’s football team for those with developmental disabilities. But when Ash swings back into town armed with his monster ego and an arsenal of stupid nicknames, everyone is in awe of him. Nope, not me. I don’t care if our kiss years ago was responsible for my sexual awakening. I won’t fall for Ashton Carmichael. Though that resolution would be a whole lot easier if he wasn’t so tempting. Once he finds his way into my bed, I’m screwed—in more ways than one. But there’s more to Ash than meets the eye, buried beneath his ego, sarcasm and how we burn up the sheets together. Soon, it’s more than a game. We don’t just get each other fired up, we just might win each other’s hearts. 

Too bad things are never that simple…

✔Coming out
✔Little bit of angst
✔HEA
I loved Ash and Beau together. And Beau is such an amazing character and so very considerate and caring. I loved Kenny so very much. Infact he is one of my favourite characters. I loved the little quotes from Kenny at the beginning of each chapter from Beau's POV. He's so pure!!!
Ash coming out to Beau's mom and her reaction was just so amazing. It was one of my favourite scenes from the book. Linc, Beau's bestie, was another one of my favourites. I'm really hoping for his and Rush's story. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series. 
If it wasn't obvious, this book is highly recommended!

Synopsis

Seven tales of romance, hope, and passion. Even after the roughest night, dawn promises new beginnings. 

Resisting Desire by Talia Hibbert
Activist, womanist and journalist Nina Chapman is in love with her brother’s best friend. Oops. When her attempt to seduce calm, reliable James Foster backfires, Nina’s mortified—but as much as she’d like to avoid him, she can’t. No; she literally can’t. Because Nina’s latest article has made her public enemy number one, and now the man who broke her heart just might be her only protection… 

Dropped Stitches by Annabeth Albert
When activist knitter Bea goes to vote, the last person she expects to run into is her high school crush. The two women forge an unlikely election day connection, but can they see a future beyond the victory party?

Parking Lot Cowboy by Rebecca Crowley
Margot Dunn has spent months making up an elaborate fantasy about the tall, silent cowboy who serves as her fellow volunteer escort at a family planning clinic in Topeka. Then one morning he speaks, and the complicated reality of ranch-hand Tyler Olsen is better than any story she could make up. 

Dare to Dream by Hudson Lin
After the 2016 election, Derek Lam kicked his political activism into high gear—it’s what anyone with half a conscious would do. Which is why he doesn’t understand how Diego Ortega, a classmate from law school and a Dreamer, could be so politically disengaged. For Diego, pursuing law had never been about social justice. His priority has always been providing for and protecting his undocumented mother and his kid sister. Getting political did nothing but draw attention his family didn’t need. Working on a class assignment together, Diego and Derek’s mutual attraction bubbles just under the surface. But any potential relationship will have to survive the sparks that fly from their clashing political views.

The Coffee Shop Around the Corner by Shae Connor
Political discourse is Madeline Maloney’s jam. Social media manager for a progressive mayoral candidate, she finds her interest piqued by an email exchange with a local businessman—but also by the cute guy at the coffee shop where she buys her morning cup. Palmer Harrison spends his mornings smiling at the beautiful woman who orders a caramel latte every day and his off hours emailing with a mystery woman who works for a mayoral campaign. Their parallel relationships intersect on Election Day… 

Love Your Face by Ainsley Booth
Fifteen years ago, Fred left the Midwest behind and moved to New York City. Return visits have been rocky, and this Thanksgiving promises more family drama Fred really doesn’t want to deal with it. Her best friend’s surprise appearance smooths over a difficult holiday, but raises new, complicated personal feelings when the very straight Ami confesses she’s not very straight after all.

Sacred Son by Robin Covington
Adam Woodson has dedicated his life to fighting for the rights of Native Americans in court and in the legislature, a career that has kept him too busy to regret the man who got away. Judah Nighthorse is rebuilding his life after prison, fighting to regain custody of his son from a non-Native foster family so he swallows his pride and asks the man he left behind for help. When fighting the good fight together sparks desire they can’t resist, they must decide if their future holds a second chance or a final goodbye.

Review 

Resisting Desire by Talia Hibbert 

🌟🌟🌟🌟
M/F
I was wary about starting this as it's been a while since I read a m/f story. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nina and James were being total idiots-in-love and falling for your sibling's best friend is one of my favourite tropes.

Dropped Stitches by Annabeth Albert 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
F/F
I love all of her books and this one isn't any different. Meeting your high school crush after a long? She nailed this. I absolutely loved Bea and Kira. This left me wanting for more.

Parking Lot Cowboy by Rebecca Crowley

Margot and Tyler were adorable together. I loved the characters. The family planning clinic escorts was something I've never read about before and I thank the author for giving me a chance.

Derek and Diego were amazing!! I loved their little conflict and how Diego finally decided to fight for his dream.

🌟🌟🌟🌟
M/F
Who doesn't like coffee shops and baristas? And the two people who have caught your interest is really just one person? Mads and Harris were another amazing couple.

M/M
This is a heartwarming story of redemption and second chances. Adam and Judah went through a lot but finally got the HEA they deserved. I loved Gideon so much. It also made me want to know more about Oliver and Gareth. 

Overall I absolutely loved this anthology and every single story in it was something different.

 Synopsis

Ollie 

Word of advice: don’t come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they’re charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help. 

My family believe I can’t be happy if I’m not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name. 

I really should’ve asked for his name. 

Lennon 

Word of advice: learn how to introduce yourself properly. 

In my defense, I don’t recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey. 

I’m not supposed to see him again, and he’s never supposed to find out I’m a reporter. 

That all changes when my editor reassigns me. 

It’s a lesson I should’ve learned by now. Nothing’s changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret. 

*Deke is a full-length MM novel with a HFN/HEA and no cliffhanger*

Review 

       

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK❤❤

t was amazing  

Each book in this series is better than the previous one!Ollie is an NHL hockey player who is proud but out only to his family. His family is absolutely supportive of him and maybe a bit too supportive. They want him to come out to the whole world but he isn't ready for that yet. It doesn't help that they think he's ashamed of being gay when in reality he just doesn't want to be the only gay player in NHL.              Lennon is a sports reporter and when a stranger in a bathroom comes out to him and tells him about his family he helps him out by pretending to be his boyfriend.
Lennon is an amazing character, funny and witty, one of my absolute favourites! Oh, and dare I say, they are fucking hot together!! The scenes with Ollie's family where they think he's Clark cause he looks like Clark Kent (Superman) were just gold!
We also have appearances from previous books- Matt and Noah & Damon and Maddox. And Jet! Gimme more of him!!! I can't wait for Talon and Miller!!!!!(exclamations are directly proportional to excitement)
I obviously LOVED this book and you will too!
