Pucking Revenge by Brittanee Nicole

4 Stars

Good boys don’t lie, fight, or steal.

Up until the moment I learned that my uncle and coach, the man I’ve looked up to my entire life, was having an affair with my best friend–the only woman I’ve ever wanted–I was a good boy. The Saint of hockey. Brooks Langfield–star goalie of the Boston Bolts and all around nice guy.

Apparently, being good is overrated because seeing Sara blindsided when she learns that the man she was dating is married makes me just angry enough to stop thinking and finally take what I want–a real shot with my best friend.

Fake dating Sara under the guise of revenge means I’m now lying to my family, fighting anyone who even looks at her the wrong way, and stealing kisses as if she’s truly mine to touch.

Now she’s the only person I want calling me a good boy and somehow I need to show her this is so much more than pucking revenge.

Loved this story so much. Friends to lovers with a splash of fake romance. I loved the give and take between Sara and Brooks. When Brooks finally tells her the truth it was perfect. Brooks’ aunt still sucks for how she acted at the end of the book. I hate when the wrong person is blamed for bad deeds. Will be looking for more books by this author.

Valentine’s Heart by Merri Bright

3.5 Stars

All She needs to do is punch her V card before she goes into heat. The doctors think a nice beta will help me before I take an alpha’s knot on. My sisters find me someone at the club but all I want is the one person who is off limits. My alpha bodyguard is everything I want and can’t have. When he rescues me from the beta and pushes me into heat will I get my HEA?

Pretty solid book. The biggest issue I had was the ending. It felt rushed. Like the relationship building was going nicely and then an issue popped up with Donovan from something that happened when he was a teenager and he hadn’t really worked through it. This meant he wasn’t comfortable with having a true relationship with knotting with Valentine. I don’t know if it was page count or what but the author shoved it off. Got Valentine through her heat and then talked about it in the epilogue. It was fine but it felt like a cop out with how traumatizing this situation was to him. Overall it was a good addition to the series but it was definitely a short story.

Wicked Demands by Marley Wray

3 Stars

Camryn’s family messed up and now owes Declan a lot. She is willing to give him her virginity if it gets her family out of trouble. It’s all a transaction until someone starts targeting her and no one gets to mess with what’s his.

Declan was such an asshole through most of this book and Camryn was so strong. She is screwed over by family and taken advantage of by Declan, but she knows her worth. Declan screws up with her and makes him work for her forgiveness. Loved the groveling he ends up having to do to win her back. I need to know who the bad guy is, but it’s still not resolved.

Knotty Deal by Leann Ryan

3 Stars

My brother screwed up and now owes a debt we can’t afford to pay. The only option is to sell virginity to get the money to pay the debt before they kill my brother. Can I live with my decision?

This is a rewrite and I hadn’t read the original. It was a short and dirty book. Virgin offers herself up to payoff her brother’s debt to the mafia. Ends on a cliffhanger and that frustrated me. I did enjoy it until that point. If you are looking for a quick and dirty story this is a good option.
