From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a single dad, dual athlete, second chance, hockey romance.
Hendrix Sinclair is everything I’ve ever wanted and nothing I could ever have.
He’s hockey’s hottest single dad, with a sinfully sexy smile and a deliciously dirty mouth. One I’ve loved for nearly half my life. Not that anyone but the two of us have ever known that fun little fact . . .
We spent a decade in two different cities.
Chasing two different dreams.
And were supposed to be falling in love with two different people.
Only I never did.
He was busy becoming the NHL’s newest superstar, while I was fighting to become one of the biggest names in professional soccer.
Now, after years spent convincing myself we could never work, it only takes one look, one searing kiss, and one forbidden night to unravel everything I thought I knew.
It also only takes one day to shatter it all.

When I read in Bella's newsletter that this was her angstiest book yet, I so wasn't ready. And because I've had to wait for these books to be written and can't just binge them, I feel like I forget a lot of the small details. Until they literally slap me in the face and I am thrown right back into things. It never occurred to me that this book was happening in the same timeline as the last one and overlapped with others. So the deja vu was real.
I remember Serena crawling into bed with Olivia and I really had no clue as to why. I had this image of her that couldn't have been further from the woman in this book. It's hard to imagine feeling sorry for the heir to the kingdom but oh my heart broke for her. And then just kept right on shattering.
Hendrix made me so mad at him. I had to remind myself that we have all done stupid things when we were young. Especially when we are hurting and think we are doing the right thing. But honestly I still kind of hate him. He made some major decisions and took his sweet arse time rectifying things.
And as much as he explained things, he didn't really do enough to make up for everything. I needed a lot more grovelling. Luckily for him, Serena was amazing. Also lucky for him I didn't realise how mad I am at him until right now because the book was so superbly written that I was so busy being lost in the story I didn't sit back to think about how stupid he was until now.
I really can't wait for the next book. Even if it feels like the few months is an eternity.

Sweet Salvation by Bella Matthews is now live!
From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes an enemies to lovers, Vegas wedding, hockey romance.
Marrying my enemy in Vegas was never part of the plan. Falling in love with my husband . . . now that’s where things get complicated.
I’ve spent my life being called out as an ice queen.
I don’t do reckless.
I don’t do relationships.
And I definitely don’t do bad-boy hockey hotties who check every wrong box and skate for my family’s biggest rivals.
At least I didn’t until Logan Adler and his ridiculously sexy face sat down next to me.
One night in Vegas. One incredibly stupid bet. And one very real ring later, I wake up married to the one man who could destroy everything I’ve worked for.
In theory, walking away should be easy, but I need to avoid a scandal, and Logan needs a wife to help him keep custody of his little girl.
So we make a deal.
Stay married.
Keep it secret.
And whatever we do—don’t cross any lines.
It should be simple.
Until the lies start stacking, the lines start blurring, and Logan starts looking at me like I’m not his enemy. Like this wasn’t a mistake. Like maybe I’m his salvation.
And maybe . . . just maybe . . . he could be mine.

Damn this book started with a bang, settled into sweetness and then exploded at the end. And I was not ready for it. Any of it. Partially because, thanks to my goldfish memory, I go in pretty blind. Then there's the fact that if I read the teasers I put myself into a book funk because all I want to read is this book so once this lands on my kindle I just dive right in and live in the story.
Every time I read the St James name I think of Olivia's mum, Scarlett. But Olivia has been a boss babe for these later generations and I had no idea that the timeline for this one kicked off during the previous books timeline. So as I read it I got huge reminders of just how awesome Olivia was handling that situation. And to be honest it made me question why she didn't kick her bosses in the arse and sink them.
Although as Liv said it all happened to bring her to Logan. And damn did that boy love with his whole heart. There is something about a single dad that's not just super involved but is truly doting and protective and Logan was all that and then some. And watching him fall for Olivia and love her for who she was made him even better.
This was such an amazing addition to the series and to the larger whole family saga. I read it in one sitting and am so sad to put it down. I am really hoping for Sarina to get her hea soon but let's be honest I'm going to love whatever this author writes. I just need it yesterday.

I feel like the countdown to this book took forever. I finally had some time to kick back and relax with a good book but I couldn’t get into anything because I was too busy anxiously awaiting this one. And then it was on my kindle and I couldn’t pick it up because the kids were being needy so I had to wait. Once I finally picked it up I did not want to put it down. Adulting is such bullshit.
After I read Ashton and Jamie’s book I was a massive Delaney fan. But it didn’t occur to me that this was going to be her book until Bella spelled it out and then it was “of course.” Firstly, because after meeting Delaney we needed her story. Then because yes, who better than Ryker to help heal her past and build her a beautiful future.
And oh mylanta this book delivered. It had ALL the feels. It had drama and steam and banter and just everything we have all come to expect from this author. I loved Delaney so much. She had lived through hell and never once played the victim. That girl had a spine of steel with a heart of gold and she got the book boyfriend goals she deserved.
Ryker with his “my wife” and his protectiveness and softness. He was peak masculinity and I loved them together so much. Tori, the pet pig, was an awesome character addition and I can’t wait to catch her cameos in future books. And now I go back to waiting for the next book 🙁

I never wanted to get married.
Until the night my life went up in flames, and Ryker Beneventi walked into the fire to save me.
The Philadelphia Kings’ scorching hot defensive end has a tendency of doing that . . .
Protecting me is instinct.
Marrying me is strategy.
Calling me “his wife” . . . That’s for fun.
One carefully crafted press release later, and I’m standing beside the most photographed man in football, wearing a diamond I didn’t choose, and bearing a last name revered in this town.
It’s supposed to be temporary.
A clean solution to a messy problem.
But nothing about our marriage is as it seems.
Because somewhere between the locked doors and late nights, the lines between love and legacy blur. Until the only thing left more terrifying than the night that forced us together . . .
Is how scared I am to walk away.

I am so addicted to this author’s work and so in love with this crazy massive, somewhat related “family.” I just have such a hard time keeping track of who is related to whom and who’s parents are who but now I don’t even bother. I just read it like a standalone until my brain clicks or someone says something that makes me go “oh my god that’s ……” And it works. Because regardless of the characters, the writing is flawless and the story is always engaging.
This story’s beginning grabbed me so hard and I was instantly so engrossed and desperate to see what’s going to happen I didn't want to put it down. There was just so much going on for Ashton and then as we got to know her more it was hard not to admire her.
And honestly I started out wanting to hate Jamie in solidarity with Ashton, but I just couldn’t do it. That man gave amazing boyfriend, and before that he gave awesome one night stand. Plus, getting his point of view was sweet. Although his actions were proof enough without his POV. He was so jealous and protective and sweet.
I can’t get enough of these books and I honestly don't care in the slightest whose book is up next although I would really love it to be Delaney. She just feels like she's going to have an interesting story and deserve an epic love.

🩷Blurb🩷
Hating Jameson Murphy is easy.
Wanting him is where everything gets complicated.
He’s my best friend’s older brother.
My father’s star player.
A charmingly infuriating football god I’ve spent a lifetime avoiding and failing to ignore.
He should be the last man tempting me into bad decisions. But when a snowstorm grounds our flight, and champagne blurs our judgment, one reckless night shatters every rule I’ve put in place . . . leaving me with two little pink lines and one very big problem.
Now, thanks to an unreliable mother, a surprise baby sister, and a new living arrangement I never saw coming, my carefully crafted life is unraveling faster than the worn satin ribbon on my favorite old pointe shoes.
And Jameson?
He’s everywhere.
In my space.
In my secrets.
Looking at me like he already knows how this ends and how it doesn’t.
Forcing me to face a truth I’m not ready to accept . . .
What if surrender doesn’t mean losing yourself?
What if it’s about trusting someone else?
And maybe . . . just maybe, what if it means finally finding home?
What to expect:

🩰Enemies to Lovers
🏈Accidental Pregnancy

💋Read Sweet Surrender Now💋
Sweet Addiction by Bella Matthews is now live!
From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes an enemies to lovers, forced proximity, sports romance.
Rome Beneventi is a walking, talking bad decision—six feet, five inches of tattoos, temptation, and trouble wrapped in a smirk and dipped in sin. This MMA champion should come with a warning label . . . or at the very least a disclaimer.
I sell books, and he breaks bones.
We are not on the same page.
At least not until he discovers my secret and instead of keeping it, blackmails me into fake dating him.
Now I’m living in his house.
Lying to my family and friends.
Playing nice for the cameras.
And trying not to melt every time he calls me “baby” like it’s more than a show.
I told myself I’d never fall for him.
That I was too smart to love the devil in designer clothes.
But the thing about enemies?
Sometimes they’re the only ones who see you clearly.
And faking it with Rome Beneventi?
Yeah . . . it stopped feeling fake a long time ago.
