Scarlett Stone hates me. Every time she takes the mic during her popular sports podcast, she rips me a new one.

Some would call us enemies but I make it a rule not to make a rival of a smart, sexy woman like her. If I make one single error on the ice, she calls it out in a way that both frustrates me and turns me on.

When I find out she’s been assigned to cover me on a trip to Minnesota, I ask my agent to pull strings to get someone else.

Anyone else.

Turns out, I’ll have to smile and take it. Oh and try not to make things worse, but it seems even my breathing yanks her chain. I’d give anything to know why.

It almost seems… personal.

During the award ceremony, a huge snowstorm hits the area. One that makes it dangerous to be on the road so everyone has to hole away in a room for a few days. Except there’s only one room left in town.

I’m trying to be the good guy here but she’s not having any of it. She’s hell bent on making me pay. Which sucks because her attitude lights a fire inside of me.

But it’s fine. Because while she’s distracted by despising me, I’ll focus on winning her over.

January 27, 2023January 26, 2023 Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

Defending by Jami Davenport is available now!

https://geni.us/Defending
Available on All Platforms

Much to my utter dismay, the Portland Icehawks chose me in the expansion draft, and now my estranged father is my hockey coach. No one on the team knows he’s my dad. They think he’s a distant relative I don’t get along with. They’re right about that last part. We hate each other. He blames me for the death of my sister, and I blame myself, too. He’s unfairly targeted me, and his constant criticism is destroying my confidence and my game.

The only thing I look forward to is my time spent working with the homeless, especially one feisty, attractive female, but neither of us do relationships because those require trust and commitment, and we’re too scarred to take the risk.

Can we conquer our demons so I can rescue her from the streets, and she can rescue me from my past?

EXCERPT

“Malyshka—”

“I am not your baby girl. Why do you call me that? You have no right.”

That’s a good question and an accurate point. But who am I kidding? I’ve thought of her this way since the start. I had plenty of time to consider what it would mean to bring her into my life and what that would look like. Surviving the upbringing I had meant being able to deeply analyze a situation or facts and come to a decisive conclusion quickly. I’ve played out various scenarios already today, and I already know where I want this to go.

“Not yet, maybe.”

“Not ever.”

I take a step closer and peer down at her. She doesn’t step away, and the defiance from a moment ago slips away. I ease my arm around her waist again, and she doesn’t push at my chest or tense. I keep my voice low since I don’t want anyone to hear us.

“I’ve never called another woman that in my life. But I think you could do with someone to look out for you. And if you were with Sem for five years, then you definitely deserve someone to take care of you.”

“And you think that should be you.”

“We both know it will be.”

“Your certainty is rather pushy.”

“But you aren’t disagreeing.”

My free hand cups her cheek, and she closes her eyes.

“How are you so gentle? No one your size should be. No one who does what you do ever is.”

“Because I will never intentionally hurt you, Kitty.”

I’m the one who tenses as that slips out. Her eyes snap open as her brow furrows.

“Why’d you call me that?”

“Instead of malyshka?”

I offer her a soft smile.

“That too.”

“Would you let me kiss you before I answer that?”

“My guess is I won’t like the explanation.”

I shrug. She waits a moment, then nods. She tilts her head back before our lips meet. Holy hell. I’ve kissed plenty of women, but nothing has felt like this. Her lips are plump and soft. Her body feels amazing pressed against mine. She smells divine. Something floral. As she opens to me, I swipe my tongue inside her mouth. I can taste the gum she must have chewed earlier. There’s a hint of cinnamon lingering. She sighs as I deepen the kiss.

When she slips her arms around my waist, I don’t stop her. I’ve never let a woman do that while I’m carrying my gun. I’ve always kept their hands away, so I don’t have to explain. But I’ve already felt her gun twice and seen it. Her hands wander over my back while mine slip to her ass. She’s wearing the sweater she had tied around her waist earlier. Her ass is soft and firm at the same time. I don’t know how, but I want to do things—dirty, dirty things—to it and with it. I squeeze, but not enough to hurt. She arches her back, so I tighten my grip. Each bit of extra pressure makes her press herself against me.

I slide one hand up her back and fist her hair. I hold her head in place and take control of the kiss. Her fingers dig into my shoulders, and she moves like she can’t get close enough.

“Is this what you like?”

Release boost : Illicit Affairs by Savannah Sloan

January 25, 2023January 25, 2023 Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

Title: Illicit Affairs

Series: Appeal of Attraction Book 1

Author: Savannah Sloan

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 12, 2023

Tropes- age gap, arranged marriage, cheating, Forbidden, Political scandal

“I’m still rather new to the Savannah Sloan universe, but after Illicit Affairs, I’m keeping my eye on her as I LOVED it so much.” The Power of Three Readers

“I am so happy I found this author! I was absolutely floored!” lindasbookstoreadblog

“This book is phenomenal.” @boundbypaper

I’m not the man you’re hoping I am.

The first time I saw her, she wore her youth like a designer gown. Tailor made to fit her like a second skin. Her innocence obvious even as her body screamed sin.

Two things that spoke to the bastard lingering inside me.

Young and eager, she served herself up to me, a delectable dessert on a gilded tray. I took from her what only one man would ever get to have, and then when it was time, I walked away.

I tried to tell you, I’m the villain of her story.

But now she’s here, broken by a past I had nothing to do with and damned to a future with a man she doesn’t love. Her family sees her as nothing more than a pawn.

She wants more. And I’m the only one that can give it to her.

Don’t waste your sympathy on him. He’ll get over it. As my brother he should have known, I don’t share well with others.

What? I warned you—I’m not the hero here.

But I am the man she needs.

It’s always starts the same: tightness in my throat, pressure in my chest. It feels as though if I don’t remove myself to a place where I can be alone, that I might die—even though sometimes I wonder if that would really be the worst thing. So I run. At least this time, I had the wherewithal to put on tennis shoes and not run out in my slippers.

That penthouse. The glamorous sterility of it makes grounding myself damn near impossible. I can’t find something to name in the room of different colors when everything is either white or various shades of tan. That vanilla existence literally sends me into orbit. There is nothing in that environment to distract from the darkness swirling inside me.

When the panic sets in, like it did tonight, I pace the entire minute-long elevator ride to the ground floor. Like a caged animal, I ping four steps from one wall, then four steps to the other. Back and forth. I can’t stop moving. Sweat beading on my neck, my damp hands fidgeting as I beg for the ding of the doors before they open. I desperately anticipate seeing those big plate glass doors that let me run from their expectations. I can put a pin in my father’s predetermined future for me, at least until they find me.

Funny how the path he’s chosen for me has changed so drastically over the last few months. Before, it was law school, working for him, breaking my back to make up for the fact that I was born his meek little girl and not his goddamn respectable son.

Liam Betancourt is far from father of the year. Everything with him is a business transaction. He wasn’t always like that, but one day he woke up and slipped into his god complex like a perfectly tailored suit and hasn’t let something as emotional as fatherhood color his judgment since. His priorities changed quickly. All that matters to him anymore is power, and he only bothers with things that will give him every ounce that he feels entitled to. Now that an opportunity for a fistful of it has come his way, or more specifically, in his daughter, he won’t let it slip away from his insatiable grasp.

Savannah Sloan was born in the Pacific Northwest, but gave up beautiful beaches, snowcapped mountains, and Seattle Mariners games to move to the Midwest for a guy.

A tall and tattooed Marine to be specific. You can’t fault her for that.

She is now a mother of four, a disobedient housewife, and a lover of happy endings.

No wait—that’s something else—Happily ever afters… she fully believes in them. However, she’s not opposed to the aforementioned.

In her overabundance of free time, Savannah loves writing about dark, brooding, morally gray men and the strong women who always fall for them.

You can find her on most social media platforms… she’s just not the best at updating them.
