From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L.P. Dover comes an electrifying tale of revenge, scorching passion, and steamy suspense that's sure to have readers on the edge of their seats.

Despite her tough upbringing, Wren Langston has found success as a UFC fighter and a career criminal. Yet when a series of murders draw a chilling connection to her, Wren fears her past is catching up with her. Nikolai Michelson, the man behind the murders, is a part of one of the most dangerous mafia families in the country - and he also holds a personal grudge against Wren.

Knowing she can't face Nikolai alone, she turns to his older brother Seth. The elder Michelson brother is immediately drawn to Wren and is determined to protect her from his family at all costs. As they work together to expose Nikolai’s crimes, they find themselves drawn together by mutual attraction.

Unfortunately, the Michelsons don’t forgive easily, and Seth's actions put him at odds with his own family. As the tension between the brothers escalates, Wren finds herself caught in the middle of a dangerous power struggle that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear.

With betrayal lurking around every corner, Seth and Wren are running out of time. Can they reveal the truth before it's too late? Or will their love be the ultimate sacrifice in this deadly game of power and revenge?











New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L. P. Dover is a southern belle living in North Carolina with her husband and two beautiful girls. Everything’s sweeter in the South has always been her mantra and she lives by it, whether it’s with her writing or in her everyday life. Maybe that’s why she’s seriously addicted to chocolate.

Dover has written countless novels in several different genres, including a children’s book with her daughter. Her favorite to write is romantic suspense, but she’s also found a passion in romantic comedy. She loves to make people laugh which is why you’ll never see her without a smile on her face.

BLOGS REVIEW

Ending the Fight is book four in the Gloves off next generation. I have not read them all and you will be able to follow along just fine. Wren is a UFC fighter and one tough chick based upon how she had to grow up. Nikolai and Seth may be brothers, but they are completely night and day. Seth is full of surprises. 
This story is full of surprises, suspense and truly trying to End the Fight with the mafia (bad portion). Your heart will break with her "brothers". It is sad based upon what Nikolai did (all I can say to avoid spoilers). I will need to catch up on the prior books and the upcoming books.

FAKED AND FUMBLED

Gina Azzi

Release Date: November 30

  
  Knoxville Coyotes football heartthrob Cohen Campbell is my brother's best friend. Now, he's the man posing as my fake boyfriend. Simple, right? Wrong. I thought my luck couldn't get worse than when my long-term boyfriend publicly dumped me. Wrong again. Now, my ex is dating my cousin, and our friend group is embarking on an annual ski trip. Desperate to save face, I beg Cohen to pretend to like me. To bluff wanting me. To lay it on thick to convince my friends that I'm not heartbroken or hurt. I'm not damaged goods. That I have, in fact, moved on. But during the trip, things change. Cohen's longing glances make my heart race. His casual, familiar touches stir up new feelings. And his kiss? His kiss makes me yearn for things I've never experienced before. Toss in one bed, an epic snowstorm, and a gossip circle a mile wide, and I'm praying we don't fumble our fake relationship. Obviously, I'm always wrong. Grab Your Copy!

BLOGS REVIEW

Faked & Fumbled is book one in the Nashville Coyotes Football series and what a great way to kick off a new series. We get a few fumbles along the way and we get a whole lot of faking, but is it really? The tension between these two have grown over the years and she is no longer the little girl he once saw. Raia and Cohen's decision to fake a relationship was perfect timing not only for the ski trip (bravo to you for still going), but for them to explore what they have been hiding for some time. It won't be easy seeing as her brother is his BF and add in the cousin factor (that was so wrong) and you got one heck of a play to deal with. Can I just say that Thanksgiving dinner had me laughing so hard and I love how supportive her family was with the situation. It was hilarious! I loved how this series started out and I look forward to reading more on this sport. If you have read her other books you know you are in for a good series; if not you just found yourself a new author if you love sports romance.

After the Storm by Laura Pavlov is now live! 


He’s a grumpy single dad. She’s the one who got away. They haven’t seen one another in years, and now they’re stuck in a hotel room together. And there’s only one bed.

 

I’ve loved her from the first moment I saw her.

And I’ve loved her every day since.

Whether we’re together or we’re apart—that hasn’t changed.

Which is saying a lot considering I don’t like most people.

But life has thrown us a slew of curveballs and we went our separate ways.

Life, family, jealousy—we let it all get in the way.

I’m a dad now, and my little girl is my world.

And after years apart, Presley is back in Cottonwood cove.

I don’t believe in fairytales or second chances.

My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications.

Presley Duncan is a giant complication.

A wise man would keep his distance.

But I never claimed to be a wise man.

So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm.

Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed.

Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances.

And seeing Presley with my little girl does something to me.

Stirs something inside of me that I thought was long gone.

But I know this is temporary.

She’ll be leaving soon, and I’m prepared to let her go.

Until she’s gone.

And I realize that I’m not prepared at all for life after the storm.

BLOGS REVIEW

After the Storm is book 5 in the Cottonwood Cove series and each can be read as a standalone; however, you will love seeing cameo appearances from current series and spin-off series characters. For those of us who followed the whole series, we finally get Cage's story. We see how big Gracie has grown and we have Presley who has this boy's (ok man) heart all tied up in knots since the age of 16. They may have had many curve balls thrown their way, but I am going to just say outside of this being life it was meant for little Gracie to be there before finding the way. It was a long storm coming! :). Presley has your heart when it comes to her parents outside of the Cage thing and her workplace. I love how eventually they both saw a light bulb, but it was right for all involved. If you love small towns, single dads and this author then this book is for you
