Title: The Path to Loving Him
Author: Meghan Quinn
Release Date: January 7, 2025

What does one do when they completely blow an interview?

If you're me, you pick up a one-night stand with the most gorgeous man you've ever seen… 

That's right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldn't want walked in. And when my friend convinced me to take him back to my hotel room, I didn't think about it, I just did it . . . well, I did him.

It was an unforgettable night, but I didn't stay for breakfast. Instead, I got out of there and tried not to think about him again.

Everything was fine until I received a call from the interviewer saying I got the job as the assistant baseball coach at Almond Bay High. I'd be working directly under the one and only Ryland Rowley--my one-night stand. 

Now, I'm not only working with him but renting the apartment above his garage. And I have to deal with the fact that he's the man I dream about and can't have while not letting my attraction get in the way of keeping the harmony between us. Sounds easy, doesn't it?

It should have been, except the plan falls apart when my shower breaks, and night after night I have to slip into his house to use the bathroom only to find him in the kitchen, staring me down with those hungry, single dad eyes.

They started as strangers texting…

The last thing star tight end Gray Grayson wants to do is drive his agent’s daughter’s hot-pink car. But he needs the wheels and she’s studying abroad.

Unknown: Mr. Grayson, my father tells me he lent you my car. I don’t care if he’s going to sign you or not. As said agent’s daughter, I know football players & their ways. So let me be clear. There will be no shenanigans taking place in it or you’ll answer to me. You want to hook up with someone, do it in a bed and not in my car. Sincerely, Ivy Mackenzie

GrayG: Hey, Miss Mac. You do realize your car is a bubblegum-pink Fiat, right? Even if I could get it up surrounded by all that heinous pink, the car is better suited for Lilliputians. So don’t worry, there will be no shenanigans (Shenanigans? Srsly? What are we, 80?) anywhere near the car. I’m not about to pull a hamstring in the pursuit of pleasure. BTW beds are overrated. Branch out a little.

Soon became best-texting buddies…

Gray Grayson drives Ivy nuts. He’s irreverent, sex on a stick and completely off-limits. Because Ivy has one golden rule: never get involved with one of her father’s clients.

But when they finally meet in person, everything goes haywire. Game on.

This book was glorious! I loved it even more than the first book in this series.

Kristen Callihan's writing style is easy to connect with and flows beautifully. I was quickly drawn into the story with the witty, amusing dialogue and compelling characters. The plot was intriguing and kept my interest from start to finish. I was so invested in the story. The world-building brought the intricacies of college sports to life and painted a clear picture of the characters' lives.

These characters blew me away! When you read a lot of sports romances, it is easy for many characters to blend together after a while. That wasn't the case with Gray and Ivy. They stood out clearly and captured my attention and my heart effortlessly. They were distinct with vivid personalities that jumped off the page. A fantastic cast of secondary characters adds depth to the story. 

The connection between Gray and Ivy was addictive. Their banter was sizzling and their chemistry was off the charts. Their dynamic was so well-written. I truly loved them. They were the absolute cutest. I love how they felt comfortable and at home with each other right from their first interaction. They clicked on a deep level and it showed. The romance between them was so swoony. I loved how they enjoyed spending time together just hanging out. The spice was scorching with an added emotional element that made it even hotter. 

Overall, this is college sports romance done right and done well. I also have to add that this book has stood the test of time. It was released almost a decade ago and it still stands strong and is relevant. This is a college football romance story with memorable and enchanting characters, an engaging and addictive plot, and a genuine romance that ticks off all the swoony and steamy boxes. Callihan is a skilled writer who weaves an impressive tale that you won't be able to get out of your head. This series is such a joy and I can't wait to keep plowing through it.

This book has been on my TBR for some time so I was glad to have finally marked it as read. Do you read a lot of backlist titles or do you read more new releases? Do you read an even amount of both? I'm curious!

Release Blitz & Review: Pretty Drunk (Pine Village #3) by Lacey Black (plus a review for the first book in the series!)

Title: Pretty Drunk
Series: Pine Village #3
Author: Lacey Black
Release Date: March 19, 2024

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Small Town/Surprise Pregnancy

Forced Proximity/Enemies to Lovers

Hallie

No one pushes my buttons the way Logan Johnson does. I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to ignore him, which isn’t easy when you live in a small town and share the same friends.

So, when I have a little too much to drink and need a place to crash after our friends’ wedding, it would figure I find myself at Logan’s house. What I’m not expecting is ending up in his bed. With him. Naked. More so, I wasn’t anticipating enjoying myself as much as I did, anxious for a repeat, which is why I’m not surprised when it happens again.

The problem is those drunken nights have resulted in something unplanned. Something monumental. Something that will change our lives forever.

Logan

Being attracted to someone who drives you completely crazy is its own form of hell. Hallie Rhodes is entirely infuriating, yet so damn beautiful it makes me ache. 

There’s a fine line between love and hate, and we’ve been blurring it for as long as I can remember. So, when a late, drunken night turns into something it shouldn’t, all bets are off. Plans change and futures are cemented, despite having no idea what really comes next. All I know is the more time we spend together, the more I realize having her in my life is paramount.

Now my biggest challenge of all presents itself. Proving to Hallie we’re better together than we ever were apart.

This series is small-town romance at its finest! Lacey Black can grab your attention easily with her outstanding characters and intriguing plots.

Black has a very fluent writing style that is easy to get lost in. The plot was very engaging and I was glued to the pages of this story from start to finish. 

All of the characters in this series are great. They all have distinct individual personalities. It's so easy to fall in love with all of them. Hallie and Logan were so relatable with excellent character development. Their characters were fleshed out really well. 

The romance in this book is a tale as old as time. A surprise pregnancy stemming from a one-night stand. There is also a frenemies-to-lovers vibe going on that is quite tantalizing. Hallie and Logan slowly fall in love and he is very supportive after finding out about the pregnancy. Their banter is amusing and their chemistry is so natural and organic. 

Overall, this was a beautiful love story that was entertaining and heartfelt. This series is full of incredible characters that really stand out and capture your heart. This book is perfect for you if you love the surprise pregnancy and enemies-to-lovers tropes with a small-town vibe. I am so eager for the next book in this series!

This book was the perfect start to a new series! 

Lacy Black has an expressive writing style that is perfect for this type of story. I really connected with it. This book was entertaining and kept my interest from start to finish. The plot was very intriguing. I loved the small-town vibes throughout. 

The characters were fleshed out nicely. It was easy to relate to them and step into their shoes. The characters had excellent character growth. Blair's character really had to evolve a lot. Each character was well-developed with individuality. The secondary characters added something special to the story. 

Blair and Gabe have undeniable chemistry. They have a history together so it adds to the intensity of their dynamic. This book has a he-falls-first-and-hard situation. Gabe was trying to prove to Blair that they belonged together. He was so swoon-worthy. 

Overall, this is a small-town romance with an organic story about family and forgiveness. The journey for Blair and Gabe was so heartwarming and full of emotion. This is the story for you if you are a fan of raw stories and memorable characters. I am such a fan of this series and can't wait for the next book!
