Romancing the Sun Kings
Lily Evans grew up in foster and group homes. She then joined the military and now works for a security company. Being Payton’s bodyguard is the most challenging job she’s ever had. He doesn’t want his team to know who he is, so she’s pretending to be his wife. It’s not a good mission this time. She must follow the rules and keep her distance from her client, but it isn’t working.
Love the characters and storyline. A story I didn’t want to put down until the end.
Zach Keller was no longer on the ice, but hockey was still in his heart. He hit the big time,
but an injury closed down his career. One of his most significant losses was the girl he left behind when heading to the pros. Her father didn’t think he was good enough, and Sam was right; she needed to fulfill her dreams. Now, twenty-three years later, he’s being offered a second chance.
Rebecca Piedmont, owner of the Florida Sun Kings hockey team, has a lot of work ahead of her. The last owner and coach left a bad taste in the team’s and fans’ mouths. She needed to rebuild the arena, the team, and the fan base. She was up to this. Hockey was in her blood. What she didn’t expect was Zach.
This is a short read but packed full of hope and drama. Not everyone is ready to be a team player, and Rebecca must show she can handle even that. Loving this series.
Wade Pierce, “Cowboy” to his teammates since he’s from Texas, has just gotten his best
friend hired on as the team’s PR person. His best friend, whom he’s been in
love with for years, but never told Bree. A best friend who had ghosted him for
the past year. What he doesn’t expect is that she has asked to stay with him
until she finds a place of her own. He can never tell her how he really feels.
If he messes up their friendship, his two sisters will never forgive him.
Besides, Bree is holding something back from him, something she’d never done
before.
Aubrey “Bree” Sutton is running from a bad situation. Looking back, she sees how foolish
she’d been. When Wade starts asking her what’s wrong, she can’t tell him, not
yet. She’s only beginning this job, and if she tells him the truth, she could
lose her best friend. Speaking of, she’s seeing him in a different light. His
abs and biceps are sure different from when they were younger. And she’s
feeling different around him, too.
Ethan McKennan is hoping for a good season for the Sun Kings. They had a scandal and felt like they were left hanging. Now, with a new owner and coaches, the future looks
brighter. Then he notices the blonde who is taking photos with her phone on the
other side of the Plexiglass. Ethan is smitten with just one look.
Mia Popovic looks down on the ice at the most handsome man she’s ever seen. He may be
smiling now, but she finds too often that men quickly dismiss her when they
find out what she does for a living. A second-grade teacher seems to put her
into the boring category.
This is a shorter story but packed full of fun and romance. I loved it!
Messy Love on Mango Lane Series
Kade Maverick was carrying a burden around. After his father left when he was young, he became the man of the house. So when asked to take care of his niece for a while, he finds it’s a burden he enjoys. His business is going great, and if he could get his mom to see him as worthwhile, life would be good.
Loved this story! Some teary moments but so good. Looking forward to more in this series.
Zane Albright has loved running the lifeguard program for
the past eight years in Sarabella after his mentor, Theo Stringer, handed him
the reins and became mayor. In fact, after the girl he loved left town, he
threw all he had into it. And now she’s back, and Theo wants to use Callie’s
youth program on their beach. He has to work as a team with the woman who broke
his heart.
Callie Monroe was ready to leave LA and come back to
Sarabella. Back to what she hoped could be a second chance with Zane. If Callie
was lucky, maybe they could at least rebuild their friendship. She’d had to
leave back then. She has to get Zane to forgive her. As they learn to work as a
team and things are looking up… Callie’s time in Hollywood catches up to her
and brings all kinds of twists along.
It is an enjoyable series with endearing characters and
exciting storylines that kept me turning the pages on both the first story and
this one. I’m looking forward to more stories in this series.
Dominic Collins is at a pause in his career right now. Thankfully, Uncle Bill lets him run The Turtle Tide while he’s in Arizona because Grandma broke her hip. His uncle has given him free rein on the menu. This is only a temporary stop; he keeps reminding himself when he meets Madison.
It’s a short story that is so complete. I laughed. I cried. I loved the story and characters.
Nick Lawless is a career lifeguard. Nick’s future is unsure
after a boating accident that tore his shoulder up a few months back. He loves
his job: Saving lives and protecting the people who visit the beach in their
small town. When his best friend’s sister, a physical therapist, says she can
get him back in the water, he’s unsure. For one thing, little Hannah has grown
into a beautiful woman, and being Graham’s sister…she’s off-limits. On the
other hand, he needs help.
Hannah McCarthy has had a crush on Nick since she was
eighteen. Her brothers, Graham and Liam, warned her he’s a player. Stay away.
She has experienced a player and had no plans to date another. And yet, as she
gets to know Nick, she’s not sure he’s all people think he is.
I’ve enjoyed all the stories on Mango Lane, and this one
adds to the series. Already looking forward to the next book.

The Pineapple Club Series
Book 1: The Friendly Disaster
Calen Cooper and Emma Price were best friends. He was her
best guy friend, and Sheridan was her best female friend. Calen had a crush on
her back in high school, but he’d outgrown that. Or so he thought.
Emma Price wanted to find that perfect guy to marry. Yet,
she never made it past a few weeks of dating before something happened to break
them up until now. Manny was the guy. He was perfect.
Sometimes people go searching for something that’s right in
front of them. I enjoyed this story. If you cry easily, keep tissues handy.

Writing as Neena Roth
Jerad Nebal had walked away from Nikki five years ago. And it wasn’t a good parting. In fact, it was terrible. He had falsely accused her of something and left. And now, he’s a different person. God is now in control of his life. He knows he’s lost all chance with Nikki, but he has terrible news that he’d rather deliver in person.
Nichole “Nikki” Strauss should feel something more for Soren, the man who asked her to marry him. But the black-haired, green-eyed man from five years ago hasn’t vacated her heart yet. And suddenly, after five years, here he is. And questioning her relationship with Soren...and criticizing Soren’s business. He lost that right. Yet, his news has her packing her bags to travel with him to India.
What a page-turner! I loved this story. Human struggles come into play...strongly...even though they Christians, which is real-life for all Christians. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I highly recommend it.
