Jared has always been Layla’ s protector but what happens when protector becomes hunter !? You get Lajared ( Layla +Jared) 😍😉
Thanks to Jared Layla is removed from her abusive foster home and ends up in home that is filled with love , acceptance and hope but no Jared …
Jared and Layla’s paths cross again when Layla heads to college and the boy she remembers isn’t the same as the one standing in front of her , he’s dark , bitter , different but she knows he’s there under all the layers ….
There were times when I wanted to wrap my hands around Jared’s throat and not in a pleasurable way ! I just wanted to squeeze the life out of him 😡but at the same time I just love him 🥰 and my heart hurt more than once at the treatment Layla underwent with those girls !
I must be honest I have a bad case of emotional whiplash and I’m still reeling …. There’s so many things I need answered and be warned you’re going to be left hanging ❣️📕I’m holding my breath in anticipation…. GREAT ANTICIPATION for book #2
Excerpt
PROLOGUE JARED
POVERTY. It’s something I’m not accustomed to, not anymore. Not since my father took me from the slums and brought me to his billionaire mansion. He told me it was all mine and that I needed to buck up and be the son I was destined to be. He might have lost a son, but he didn’t gain one back. The car slows as I approach Woodview Estate. It gives me the fucking shivers. I’m not afraid; it’s more of an old memory, like a fire burning in my mind. One I extinguish as I park my new BMW along the curb. The grass is dead, the orange earth is dry, and the pitiful shrubbery is wilted. This place is devoid of life. Like nothing is worth growing here. This is Ireland, so it rains all the time, but this place is forsaken. Even the rain doesn’t bother to piss on the landscape. As I stare around me and study a little closer, I start to notice signs of life. In front of me is a large row of houses, and at the corner of the end house, shadows of movement catch my eye. Behind drawn curtains, light seeps through the small cracks. I’m sure some watch me from the windows. My presence here has not gone unnoticed. get out of the car and lock the doors. Shadows creep closer. Most of the men have their faces camouflaged inside hoodies. Three houses are in front of me, and I wander toward number six. I’m apprehensive of the guys at my back, circling closer to my car. The moment I push open the gate to number six, they murmur. Their whispers reach my ears. “He’s with Chester. We’d better scram.” Like rats, they scurry. Chester must be the man I’m seeking. Warren only gave me an address, no name. I knock on the door three times before someone answers. The guy who opens it isn’t looking at me, so I’m faced with his profile. Tribal tats rise from the collar of his jersey and wrap around his neck. He draws a drag of a cigarette, side-eyeing me. His hands are coated in tattoos too. “What do you want?” “I’m looking for Chester.” This fucker is a wolf, but I’m no lamb. He faces me, flings the cigarette past my shoulder, and grins. “What for?” “Can I come in?” I ask, and I take a step closer to him. His grin transforms into a sneer, but he steps back. “Sure.” I don’t like that he’s at my back, but I continue to keep a relaxed posture as I walk into the dingy entrance. The smell of smoke and something stronger clings to everything. “I didn’t pick up what you wanted.” He passes me while lighting up another cigarette. He shoulders a door to our left open, and we step into a sitting room that’s full of guys who are sporting tats just like his. I unquestionably have the right house. He plops down between two other men on the couch. All eyes are on me. “I didn’t say what I wanted.” I point at the empty armchair to my left. The guy, who I assume is Chester, nods, and I sit down, opening my jacket. R&B music plays in the background. A fog of smoke floats close to the ceiling. A guy close to me offers me a rolled-up cigarette. It doesn’t smell like smoke, and I decline before facing Chester. “Could we talk somewhere private?” He glances at the other men, who laugh, before he faces me. “No. If you have something to say, say it.” I‘m not telling him shit in front of everyone. They all move when I reach into my pocket. I raise one hand as I slowly withdraw the envelope of cash with the other. “Three grand for a word in private, Chester.” He jerks his chin, and I toss the envelope to him. He catches the cash, shreds it open, and starts counting. Once he’s satisfied, he passes the stash of cash to the guy beside him before standing. “You’ve bought yourself five minutes.” My five minutes are in the entrance hall. I assumed it would be someplace more private, but I take the time I’m offered. “I need a gun.” “What makes you think I can get you one?” “Warren O’Reagan gave me your address,” I explain. Something shifts in Chester’s stance. “You don’t look like a friend of Warren’s.” I smirk. “Neither do you.” Chester jerks his chin again. “It will cost you.” “Name your price.” He thinks about it. “Ten grand.” For a fucking gun? “I want it wiped.” “It will be untraceable. But it will take time.” “How long?” He takes a drag of his cigarette before stepping to the front door. Opening it, he flicks the cigarette outside. He pauses before looking back at me. “Is that your car?” “Yeah.” I stride toward him. He lets out a whistle. “Touch it and you die.” He issues the warning to the group outside and closes the door. “I should have asked for more money since you’re driving a car like that.” He grins. I don’t smile. “I’ll give you five grand tomorrow and the other five grand when I have the gun.” He nods, and I hold out my hand. Chester hesitates before he grips my fingers. “We have a deal.” I’m ready to go when he asks a question he shouldn’t. “What do you want it for?” I glare at him. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” “Just asking, brother. You know it won’t end all your problems.” He holds up his thumb and forefinger, mimicking a gun. “It might end one,” I say before I take off. My car is still unscathed. Driving out of the estate doesn’t make the memories evaporate; instead, I’m yanked right back to my childhood. The very reason I want a gun. Everything comes full circle. My father once said, “What’s meant for you won’t go by you. Justice will be served in this life or another.” I say, fuck that. If Justice isn’t served the way it should be, then I’ll take matters into my own hands and deliver my kind of justice. Once I do this, my life will be my own again. I’ll finally be able to live.

Reviewer: KimRating: 4.5 Stars I’ve never read this author but after this addictive angsty and unforgettable read il definitely be going to read more of her books.
The couple in this I think will be some il never forget. Wren and Crew really did seem to have a great connection and belong to each other. They was very opposite in every way but they just seemed to fit perfectly together.
The feels in this we’re everything. Watching the couple fall in love for the first time was everything and more. There chemistry was so explosive.
I loved everything about this slow burn romance.

Sneaking Around With #34 by Piper Rayne is now live!
I have a reputation for being tight-lipped. You learn quick when you become a professional hockey player to be guarded with the media, so I've worked hard to cover up the mistakes of my youth.
But when I'm traded to the Florida Fury, where my ex-best friend is the starting right wing, I'm forced to confront my past. Ford and I have a lot of history, especially when it comes to his little sister, Imogen.
My heart still lurches in my chest when I see her. My hands want to reach out and touch her. My mouth wants to keep apologizing.
She's the only woman who ever made me want more. But she's also the one who fell victim to my most regrettable decision.
I'm not a believer in fate, but I must be back in her world for a reason. I've fought for everything I've gotten and I'm not backing down from what I know will be the best thing in my life.

I am not a hockey but I am definitely a Piper Rayne Hockey romance fan. Loved this story. A second chance at a forbidden love. Boy this couple had a lot to get over to try again. I literally gasped when I read what tore them apart at a young age. It was BIG! But loved watching them work through and fall in love again. No wait that not right the love was always there they just had to get over the Lani and start a new. Can't wait for more stories and more HOT hockey players in this series.

Great way to spend an afternoon off! Not sure how MJ Fields did it but she made me fall for a character I hated. Marcello was in another book and I couldn't stand him he was mean and horrible to a character I adored BUT with age definitely comes wisdom. He is no longer the punk playing games he is a MAN finding true love. The girl he finds is broken by a rough life and he heals her with his love, patience and kindness. Oh a bit of heat! This is Marcello's story and it is AWESOME!
The brooding construction manager is a man of myth and legend, rarely seen in the wild. Once upon a time, he was the star quarterback, the smiling homecoming king, royalty in our small town. Until tragedy struck. And then he disappeared completely.
Now he’s resurfaced, and I can’t keep my eyes off him. He’s an island surrounded by lava, bound by a desert and guarded by dragons. I
don’t stand a sunshine’s chance in a hail storm. Our siblings disagree and are out to prove it, nudging us into each other in the hopes we’ll fall. But with our town in tumult and the two of us firmly in the middle, nothing between us is easy. And when he’s faced with an impossible decision, I learn the truth of what I already knew.
No one can have Keaton Meyer.
And I have the broken heart to prove it.

Rating: 4 Stars
So sweet! So touching! Two broken soles scared to move on from lost loves. One stuck in the past and one believing she cursed. But when they realized they couldn't fight the attraction Holy Crap it was HOT! With a lightning and thunderstorm in the back ground. It was perfect imagery. Love soon followed the lustfilled attraction. Then this author tried to break my heart. Outside forces tore our couple apart. But this is a Staci Hart romance and I got a beautiful HEA.
About the Author:
I was the kid who stayed inside to read.
As a four-eyed nerd with a bad perm, I was no one’s dodgeball pick, but I had a lot of friends. Frodo and Bilbo, for instance. Kristy, Stacey, Claudia and the gang (iykyk). Once, in the third grade, I wrote a teen murder mystery inspired by Christopher Pike. On solving my mystery in twelve pages, I decided I was a terrible writer and should never, ever do that again.
Fortunately, I didn’t take my own advice.
I write romance for that feeling you get at the end, like you’re standing on top of a mountain with a backpack full of hundred dollar bills. I write romcoms because is there anything better than banter and grand gestures? I write because I love to create and I love words. I love books, and I love stretching my imagination. I love love, and if you do too, bring your coffee and have a seat. I think we’re gonna be friends.
From USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a brand new standalone sports romance. The seventh installment of the Only One Series. A spin off from the Something So Series and This is Series
Wilson
I was the bad boy on and off the ice.
I loved it — owned it.
Hockey. Women. Money.
Until she came into the picture.
Now, all I want to do is be better.
I want to prove to myself I don’t have to be the guy everyone thinks I am.
She knocked down the walls I spent my whole life building.
Franny
My last name opened the doors, but proving I was worth the title of TV producer took all of my time.
He walked in with a chip on his shoulder.
I was happy to point out all his flaws.
Falling for him was inevitable.
When scandal hits, no one expected me to stand by his side.
Natasha does it again! Holy sexual tension. I absolutely loved Wilson and Franny story. These two had a chemistry that practically had my kindle setting on fire. There is so much more to Brad Wilson than meets the eye and he was truly swoon-worthy. (that epilogue) Franny is so strong and confident and doesn't hide that she likes getting herself some and talking about it too. It is always awesome to read heroines who are ballsy AF. What I love best about these stories, is the family and yes sometimes I forget who belongs to whom, but it never distracts from the story. This was another amazing read, by the Queen of hockey romance!!

It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...
