ONLY FOR TONIGHT

Natasha Madison

Release Date: September 12






Blurb:

When one night changes everything.


Ariella

The last time I saw him, I’d just turned eighteen.

Six years later we’re face-to-face again.

Neither of us wanted the night to end.

The next morning, we made a pact.

Each of us going our separate ways.

Until two pink lines changed everything.

 

Jaxon

Life was going my way.

Hockey. Family. All of it.

Until…I saw her.

She was different now. 

One thing led to another and we got carried away.

It was supposed to be one night. 

Our secret.

Then she’s at my door with news that rocks my world.     

I’m going to be a dad.

Meet Natasha Madison:

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

Natasha Madison is such an insta one click author for me. I don't even check the blurb, I just jump up and down screaming pick me. And when I was offered an audio version as well I was one happy camper. Although I have to confess I can't keep track of all the extended family and friends so I get a little zing when I come across a character I love.


This book started with so much chemistry and it just went off from there. Jaxon was awesome and despite the fact that he had a few stupid moments I loved him. He was so all in, he just was really terrible at communicating and reading signals. And his actions didn't represent his feelings. 


Luckily for him Ariella was very mature and wasn't afraid to take things on head first. And was as awesome as Jaxon. And so relatable.


The narrators were perfect for the characters I had pictured in my head and I loved getting lost in their voices and the author's words. And I am praying that the little bits and pieces I picked up through this means that the next book will be the characters I am thinking it is.

This series was my first introduction to this author, and I’ve loved every word of it. And having read this series in order I really didn’t think I would like this book. But I’ve also been dying to read it to see everyone all together at the end of their careers after having first met them way back in college. I feel like I’ve watched them grow up and start families and break apart and come back together.

 

Trevor has been such a selfish acehole who jeopardised the relationships and friendships of everyone around him and I wanted him to go crawl under a rock and die. Don’t get me wrong I felt for him, kind of. He made a mistake, and he owned it and didn’t try to hide from the stupid. He just didn’t course correct. And as humans I think we do tend to hold onto things and it’s especially hard to move on from relationships that have such huge significance on our lives.

 

When we first met Sage, she caught my attention hard. She was not someone I immediately took to, but she was so unapologetically herself that I respected her. I was dying to know what her story was and when we finally got it, I found I liked her and saw her soft underbelly a lot more.

 

Trevor’s redemption was really awesome to watch, and I completely forgave him all of his past indiscretions. I also loved and hated that we didn’t see Sebastian’s feelings on the changes in Trevor or his relationship with Sage. I thought for a moment we were going to see him have a chat with Sage about the whole Trevor / Erica thing, but alas I was wrong. Not that what actually transpired wasn’t better.

 

The whole book had so much happening and so many different types of relationships being shown in their different styles and stages. I couldn’t wait to see how different things were going to come to light or be resolved. I’m just so sad to be at the end of the series and having to say goodbye to all of these characters. Now I have to stalk the author to see what else she has for me to jump into.

Alright so I went into this knowing it was a prequel for a new series. But I thought I'd done my research, each book was a different couple so I was confident to dive in. And then I was sucked into the drama and then the book ended without a resolution and I am dying to read the next one to see how it all plays out.


Kade and Willow had history that we walked into the middle of. And I immediately wanted to go to war for Willow. But then as we got more of the story I realised that the assumptions I'd made had been a little off. And I loved the way that Kade loved her.


Willow and Kade were sweet together and there was enough going on to make this novella interesting and I really can't wait to see where the series goes from here.

I feel like I've been waiting for this book forever. So, when I finally got my grabby hands on it I couldn't put it down and I regret nothing.


Ari was a new character and I immediately loved her. She had been through so much but she just kept looking for the positives and didn't ever have a victim mentality. Or when things were a little grey in the bedroom she didn't hesitate to enjoy it for what it was without thinking she shouldn't. Which sounds jugdy but I really hate when authors almost try to justify the characters response after they have suffered trauma and there was none of that.


Marcus is a hard one for me. I love him and I sympathise with his life. And there were so many layers to him I couldn't get enough. But …. dum dum dum …. He just wasn't dark enough for what I was expecting. His stalking gave me slow burn vibes. 


I don't know. Maybe it was just me and my expectations but I was expecting darker and stalkier. That all said, I loved the story. I loved the drama and the twists and turns. And I really loved that he owned his mistakes and made up for them immediately. And now I go back to waiting for the next Mila Kane book.

Title: Run the Play
Series: Nashville Rampage #2
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Tropes: Football/Fake Dating/Found Family
Workplace Romance/He Falls First
Release Date: August 19, 2025




BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Run the Play is a fake dating, found family, workplace, he falls first romance.

Rowan

I swore I’d never look twice at a football player again, especially after barely surviving the last one. But when my abusive ex gets traded to the team I work for, my past shows up to haunt me.

Not a moment too soon, star player Landry Reynolds runs interference, announcing that he’s my boyfriend. My emotions get the best of me, and I find myself playing along.

He’s charming, bold, and way too convincing. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that it’s all pretend.

I might be falling for my fake boyfriend, but I can never have him for real. I could lose everything I’ve finally found, and that’s scarier than having my heart crushed by the wide receiver.


Landry

I didn’t mean to get involved. I just couldn’t watch her shrink away from him a second longer—not after knowing what he put her through.

So I did what I do best: I ran the play and told him she’s mine. Now I can’t stop thinking about how right that little white lie feels. How right she feels.

There’s a good chance I was never faking.

This started as a way to protect her. I never imagined it’d be so hard keeping my hands off her. Then again, I’ve never been very good at following the rules.

Kaylee Ryan's books are always so sweet and easy to read. They are the perfect book to just cuddle up in a blanket and get lost in. I spend three quarters of my time with a goofy grin on my face and I can't help but feel like I know all of these guys personally. 


In the last book we got to know Landry pretty well since the couple was his sister and best friend. So I went in knowing he is beyond sweet and caring and just the perfect book boyfriend. Although that said, all of the guys in the rampage family are swoony.


Getting to know Rowan, I instantly fell for her and knew that Landry was going to be perfect for her. Because Rowan really needed a soft place to land after all the knocks life had taken. And luckily for her fate dumped her right in the middle of this group.


The entire story was swoony and I can't wait to see who's up next and watch them fall.

Make Me Yours by Jennifer Sucevic is now live!


  

A steamy friends-to-lovers, off-limits, pro hockey romance from USA Today and Amazon top #26 bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic.


Steele Sanderson has always been my safe place.
My best friend.
My constant.
My person.
So when I walk in on my boyfriend—who also happens to be my boss—screwing a colleague on his desk, it’s Steele who picks up the pieces.

Now I’m living in his penthouse, crashing in his guest room, and working as his assistant while I figure out what’s next. Every day, I tell myself this is temporary. That just because he looks at me like I already belong to him doesn’t mean I actually do.

Except... Steele doesn’t see it that way.
To him, I’ve always been his.
The only one he’s ever wanted.
The only one he’s ever loved.
He’s protective.
Possessive.
And done waiting.

I keep telling myself that crossing the line could ruin everything—that risking our friendship isn’t worth it. But when he offers a friends-with-benefits arrangement, promising to give me everything I’ve secretly craved, how can I possibly say no?
It doesn’t take long for the lines between us to blur.

Now I have to decide—keep pretending nothing’s changed or finally give in to the man who’s been right in front of me all along.

Make Me Yours is a swoony, boy-obsessed, friends-to-lovers steamy romance with close proximity, undeniable tension, and a hero who has always been all in. It’s the first book in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.

Is there anything better than starting a new series by an author you love? Seriously this one felt like there were so many easter eggs of stories still to come and yet I was so obsessed with Steele and Lilah that I barely acknowledged my family from the second I picked this up. Since the first time I picked up a book from this author I have been a fan. But I really loved the fact that these guys were adults so I don’t have to feel so bad knowing I’m so much older than the characters.


This was the absolute best example of friends to lovers and I don’t know if that’s my sexism showing since Steele was the one doing the pining. Or if it’s just that he was genuinely waiting to shoot his shot while happily playing the part of super supportive best friend. But when he swept in and jumped at every chance to show Lilah why they would be so perfect together I was there for it.


Because he was such a golden retriever until the clothes started coming off and then damn that boy was hot. But he was also super supportive and sweet and emotionally mature and I just couldn’t get enough of watching him care for Lilah. Not that Lilah wasn’t a star herself. She was just a little slower to the party and Steele was book boyfriend goals in every way I couldn’t keep my mind off him.


And as mentioned I can’t wait to see where the rest of the series is going to go and I don’t even care who’s book is next. I just want it now.

BIGGEST PLAYER

Sara Ney

Release Date: July 29





Blurb:

Bestselling author Sara Ney scores with a fiery romance about online dating, where a single mom and a football pro ignite sparks when they swipe right—even though they know it’s all wrong.

Margot’s a busy single mom juggling teaching, parenting, and trying not to die alone. Dating apps? Total nightmare. But desperate times call for desperate swipes, even if they make her break out in stress hives. When she matches with a guy who looks too good to be true, she’s convinced he’s a walking red flag—or worse—a catfish.

Dex is hot, and he knows it. A quarterback with a killer smile and looks to spare, he’s a good guy looking for a long-term relationship. He wants what his friends have: someone to come home to…and if they’re naked when he gets there, even better. When he logs on for a casual scroll, he’s not expecting to meet her. One swipe, and suddenly he’s hooked.

Margot’s convinced he’s a catfish. Dex has zero dad bod and no dad energy. But their sizzling back-and-forth leaves them both thinking “what if.” After a surprise run-in leads to a mind-blowing (and soggy AF) kiss, their opposites-attract energy skyrockets. Can they find a way to make it last?
