Alright I always feel guilty writing a review for a series I love when it's been a minute between books. My goldfish memory is strong, and I barely remember anything from the previous books. I know that I loved them, which is no surprise since I'm a fan of the authors writing. But I can't really remember the previous couples or their stories or where the current couple fits in the friend group and I want to remember it all so badly. It's like this weird little Deja vu tickle in the back of my mind as certain people or things click.

 

So I basically read this as a standalone and man did it work perfectly. I was so completely absorbed by Britt and waiting for her past to dumpster fire all over her present. Wanting her to come clean and be all in with Colby and yet not knowing how that would play out. I was on the edge of my seat wondering if this was the moment he would figure it out or if something would happen to bring it all out into the light.

 

And who would have guessed that Colby would give such awesome book boyfriend vibes? I love watching a reformed player become boyfriend goals, but I didn't expect Colby to be quite so domestic or so quickly committed. I thought he would fight it harder, or I don't even know, just not be so completely gung ho about the whole thing.

 

I had so many moments where I thought ok this is what's going to happen next. And I would flip the page and watch something else play out. Until the end when it was like watching it play out on the big screen and I felt a little anticlimactic. Then it twisted and turned a little and then we got the adorable epilogue, and I am sad to put it down. I will say that I didn't feel like we got any closure on Bebe and her whole family, but I am happy with how it went so I can forgive that.

The Knockout by Bella Matthews is now live! 


 

 

From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a hot new hockey romance between a broken ballerina and the forbidden bad boy who saves her.

 

We all have dirty secrets. Some are just more fun to hide than others.

 

Ares Wilder is a so-called bad boy. A ladies man. The teammate most likely to fight both on and off the ice. And now this devastatingly dark and handsome hockey player with a sinful smile and a filthy mouth is my twin sister’s new brother-in-law, landing him firmly in the forbidden category.

 

Only he doesn’t see it that way.

 

Resisting him should be no big deal, right?

At least that’s what I thought…

 

Until one night, he manages to look past the illusion I’d spent a lifetime perfecting and see the broken girl behind the pink satin pointe shoes.

 

We were the perfect storm I never wanted to escape.

But with secrets piling up and my world crashing down, will Ares be one more thing I destroy?

The best thing about discovering a new to me author is getting to binge their back catalogue, the worst thing is when you inhale them and then have to wait while they are writing their current series. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier to have stumbled across Bella Matthews but waiting for each of these books to be released is a terrible torture. Especially since I get so caught up on the characters and their families and extended family and I can’t find anything else to read while I’m waiting because I don’t want to read anything other than the book I’m waiting for.

 

Anyway, the moment finally arrived and I got my grabby hands on it. And I got lost in the banter and the family connections and then I was falling for Ares. I couldn’t put this book down. Everything about the way Ares and Grace came together and then grew this beautiful relationship was so easy to just get wrapped up in.

 

But honestly, Ares was everything. He gave such awesome swoon. Watching him win over Grace and then show up at every opportunity and not just fight for them but to force Grace to look at what she wanted and fight for it herself was beautifully orchestrated. I needed Grace to pull her head out a little sooner, but I also completely understood where she was coming from.  This was one book where I was so absorbed in reading it play out I couldn’t even take a minute to try to guess what was going to happen next.

 

I knew there were things that were going to need to be sorted out but I also had complete faith that everything was going to work out perfectly. Everything about the book was like a warm bath on a cold day and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one.

R.C. Stephens has revealed the cover for Forever Player!

 

Releasing May 8, 2024


 

I never thought I would see her again... yet here she was at my game sitting with another man. 

It was like a slap shot to the heart. 

Until Willow, the only thing I cared about was playing professional hockey. 

After our wild and passionate night, I knew she was different-- and one night would never be enough. 

But she walked away leaving me with an unfillable void.

I couldn't stop thinking about her and what we shared. 

Little did I know she was keeping a big secret. 

One involving two pink lines. 

I want to do the right thing--by them both--but Willow has built impenetrable walls around her heart. 

Before I can show her how good we could be together, I'll have to tear down her defenses. 

Winning her love is the game plan, but forever with her is the ultimate goal.
