The Book Club Boyfriend

Must Love Hockey

 by Kendall Ryan 

Release Date: Nov 11th




Blurb


Scarlett “Scottie” Calloway built her career writing books about why women don’t need men. Romance? Overrated. Soulmates? A marketing ploy. The last thing she wants is to spend a summer co-hosting a romance book club with an arrogant, insufferably handsome hockey player who thinks he knows a thing or two about love. Immediate no.


Chase Remington lives for three things: hockey, winning, and pushing Scarlett’s buttons. He’s never met a challenge he couldn’t charm his way through—until her. The queen of anti-romance loathes him, and frankly? He’s having the time of his life getting under her skin.


But when a PR stunt forces them together, their battle of wits turns into something far more dangerous—an attraction neither can afford. She swears she won’t fall. He bets she will.


By summer’s end, only one will be right.

And if there’s one thing they do have in common?

Neither likes to lose.


The Book Club Boyfriend is a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers sports romance featuring professional athletes, shameless flirting, and a hero who falls first—and hard. Expect banter, chemistry, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

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.

Fake marry the smokin’ hot NFL quarterback who dumped me in high school? Hard pass.

…Or it would be, if my Hollywood disaster of an ex-fiancé wasn’t trying to destroy my career—and bankrupt me in the process.

Cue Presley Lowe.
Big-time quarterback. Bigger ego. Even bigger... contract.
The boy who shattered my heart, then dared to somehow get even hotter with age.

💍 He says a fake marriage will solve both our problems.
I say he’s lost his mind.

But I’m broke, backed into a corner, and out of options.
So now I’m wearing Presley’s ring, taking couple-selfies, and sleeping one wall away from the man who gave me my first heartbreak—and my last good kiss.

I pretend not to notice when he walks around shirtless.
He pretends he doesn’t remember exactly how I like to be kissed.

We’re both lying.
But it’s all temporary. Totally fake.

Right?

So why does every look he gives me scream mine?

And why am I starting to feel like there’s nothing I wouldn’t give to keep hearing him say, my wife?

What happens when your fake husband is also the boy you never got over?

Good Girl's Guide to Love by Chelle Sloan is now live!


A sexy, bad boy/good girl, fake dating, football romance from bestselling author Chelle Sloan



GUIDE TO LOVE RULE #37: Fake it till you make it. Just don't fall in love.


Ever since I can remember, I've always played it safe. I didn't take chances. I’m the quintessential good girl of the Banks family.

At least, I was until Linc Kincaid walked into my life.

Now I'm doing things I never thought I'd do. Getting drunk. Singing at karaoke bars. Kissing hot as sin football players for the world to see.

One minute I'm a shy nurse whose biggest problem was that her ex-boyfriend was back in town. The next I’m fake dating the bad boy of the Nashville Fury.

Because yeah…that happened.

Linc and I didn't mean to get ourselves into this situation, but after pictures of our crazy night hit the internet, we agreed it was a genius plan: I needed help to keep my clingy ex-boyfriend away and he needed to clean up his image. A win-win.

Plus, he was up front with me—he didn't do long term. And since I'm a forever kind of girl, there was no way I was going to fall in love with my fake boyfriend.

Right?

Wrong. So Wrong.

In my defense, he started holding my hand for the cameras. And kissing my forehead. Calling me a swoony nickname that caused all the butterflies.

But I was holding out. Being strong. Until he offered to give me spicy lessons in the bedroom.

And I said yes.

I guess that's what I get for taking chances.

Now, somewhere along the way, I fell in love with my fake boyfriend.

And there's no guide to love for that.

 JUST (FAKE) MARRIED

Hailey Shore

Release Date: September 4


Available in Kindle Unlimited




They’re faking forever. What could possibly go wrong?

Ethan

I swore I’d never set foot in Last Hope Gulch again. I traded cowboy boots for scrubs, the family ranch for the operating room—and left behind one infuriating woman: Harmony Calloway. A do-gooder with a megawatt smile, she’s been getting under my skin since we were kids.

Then my dad died and left a will straight out of a soap opera. If the feuding McGraws and Calloways don’t unite in actual matrimony, the ranch gets sold off—and the town that raised us might just go under. 

So I’m fake-marrying the one woman who’s always made my blood boil... in every possible way.

 

Harmony

I’ve spent my whole life dedicated to keeping Last Hope Gulch thriving. Marrying Ethan McGraw, my high school heartbreaker —isn't my idea of a good time. But if it saves the town, I’m willing to fake it with a smile. 

The plan is simple: a fake wedding, a fake marriage, and absolutely no real feelings. The only problem? The very inconvenient chemistry we've had since high school and some family secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Between forced proximity, staged kisses, and town gossip hotter than a jalapeño, I am starting to wonder…

What if our fake marriage is the truest thing we’ve ever had?
