Release Day : Three & Out

After rushing to the altar and moving across the country, Harper Duquaine (or is it MacLaughlin, now?) is in uncharted territory. What once seemed like a promising opportunity to advance her husband’s career while giving her some much needed independence and adventure has proven to be a bust. By the time fall rolls around again, she’s back in a boring job by day and overstocking her inventory of crocheted scarves by night. Not even the prospect of a new football season holds much excitement.

At least that’s what she thought. Harper suddenly finds herself the manager of not one but two fantasy football teams—each with its own set of drama. Between the added pressure of her new marriage, an unexpected career prospect, and the hiccups created by people from her past and present worlds, Harper quickly finds herself going from bored to overwhelmed.

Can she hold up under the pressure, or will Harper learn the hard way that the turf isn’t always greener on the other field?

Release Day : Playing It Cool + Giveaway


Harper Nugent might have a little extra junk in her trunk, but her stepbrother calling her out on it is the last straw… When rugby hottie, Dexter Blake, witnesses the insult, he surprises Harper by asking her out. In front of her dumbass brother. Score! Of course, she knows it’s not for reals, but Dex won’t take no for an answer.
Dexter Blake’s life revolves around rugby with one hard and fast rule: no women. Sure, his left hand is getting a workout, but he's focused on his career for now. Then he overhears an asshat reporter belittle the curvy chick he'd been secretly ogling. What's a guy to do but ask her out? It’s just a little revenge against a poser, and then he'll get his head back in the game.
But the date is better than either expected. So is the next one. And the next. And the heat between them…sizzles their clothes right off.
Suddenly, this fake relationship is feeling all too real…

        Release Day : The Summer Games: Out of Bounds


        I despise Erik Winter.

        He’s arrogant and cruel—a man I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy—and by some twisted turn of fate, he’s my new Olympic gymnastics coach.

        I’ve had to contend with gruff coaches in the past, but Erik is far worse. His stern demeanor
        complements a body built for intimidation, and his reprimands come from a mouth so cunning, I know it could strip me of my defenses—if I let it.

        Though each of us would love to be rid of the other forever, we are bound to each other by need and
        necessity. I’m his rising star, his best shot at proving himself to his critics. And without a coach, I have zero chance of winning gold in Rio.

        The easiest way forward would be to wave a white flag and make peace with the man I’ll be sharing
        close quarters with for the foreseeable future, but he is intent on war.

        Fine. By. Me.

        If he pushes me, I’ll push back harder. If he wants to test me, to play with my head, I’ll show him just
        how many boundaries I’m willing to cross. Because I know it’s not a choice between winning or
        warring—not if you can have them both. At the end of it all, I plan on leaving Rio with gold around my neck and his icy heart in the palm of my hand.

        I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way, I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things... everyday.

        I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors include Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things "funny". Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

        Book Review : The Summer Games: Settling The Score

        Hey guys !! I haven't done one of these in a while and I did promised you guys a review of this book. So here goes nothing, sorry in advance if this review doesn't turn out well :|

        " Sometimes the best way to get out of a slump is to get a good hump!"

        R.S Grey has been one of my favourite writer. Her first book that I read was The Design as I was given a free copy in advance for a review. So when I heard about her newest book, I know I have to read it, plus look at that cover !! I mean who doesn't like to stare at that hot body *heart eyes*
        I love how the story flows and her style of writing is very easy to follow and not confusing at all. The way she describes her character is well written and carried out that I could really imagine them in my heads.

        The other thing I like is how I was able to connect with Andie, however on some occasion I felt that she was a tad bit overdramatic but other than that it was amazing. What I wasn't ready for was how fast I fell in love with Frederick. He has a british accent (which coincidentally is one of my kryptonite!!) and is a olympic swimmer that already has a few gold medals under his belt. Another character that I really enjoy reading was his sister, Georgie. She is such a fun character to read and I really hope she might have her own book soon (*wink wink*) (This is me hinting to you rachel !! hahaha)

        Anyway, I would give this book a 5/5 as I really enjoy reading it. And I'm looking forward to more books by Rachel :) Hope you guys enjoy that and as always, any kind of feedback is welcome :)

        Synopsis 

        From the USA TODAY Bestselling author of Scoring Wilder, comes a sexy new standalone novel.

        As an Olympic rookie, Andie Foster has spent far more time in her cleats than between the sheets. For 21 years, her Friday nights have consisted of blocking shots rather than taking them. But now that she's landed in Rio, she's ready to see for herself if the rumors about the Olympic Village are true:

        • The athletes are all sex-crazed maniacs...
        • The committee passes out condoms like candy...
        • The games continue long after the medals have been handed out...
        As Andie walks the line between rumor and reality, she's forced into the path of Frederick Archibald, a decorated Olympic swimmer and owner of a sexy British accent--too bad he's unavailable in a way that "it's complicated" doesn't even begin to explain.

        In other words: off limits.

        It doesn't matter that he has abs that could bring peace to the Middle East and a smile that makes even the Queen blush; Andie fully intends on keeping her focus on the soccer field. But the Village is small. Suffocating. Everywhere Andie goes, Freddie happens to be there--shirtless, wet from the pool, and determined to show her a whole new meaning of the phrase "international affairs".


        Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
