The Stand-In by Kristen Proby is now live! 


From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes THE STAND-IN, the newest novel in her beloved Single in Seattle series, featuring Drew Montgomery!


I don’t like my new boss. Not at all.

London Ambrose is a spoiled billionaire’s daughter. And now she’s the new co-owner of the Seattle football team, but that doesn’t mean that she knows diddly squat about football. 

There’s nothing I hate more than having someone micromanaging me, shadowing my every move, and giving me their two cents on Every. Little. Thing. as I coach MY defensive line. 

I don’t care about new team jerseys and branding or answering her million and one questions about how I do my job. But, I can’t help but come to her defense when an old flame shows up and starts harassing her. I’m a Montgomery. We don’t let anyone mess with women.

Now, I’m suddenly in a fake relationship, pretending to date the gorgeous billionaire and learning so many surprising things about this captivating woman that I just can’t seem to stay away from her.   

When the lines between our fake relationship and real relationship blur, and my initial distaste for her turns into desire, I find myself coaching the most important game of my life - do I let my guard down or do I let London Ambrose walk away forever?

BLOGS REVIEW

The Stand In is book five in the Single in Seattle series and each can be read as a standalone as this is the first book I have picked out to start reading. Drew and London have a hateness towards each that quickly turns to a blooming friendship when he tries to help her out with a former guy who is not taking no for an answer. Add in young Caleb and you will see that appearances don't always tell the true story. Once Drew learns more about them he sees she is not princessy as he thought. The connection between Drew and young Caleb is heartwarming. Add in old Caleb and the mom and you will get a chuckle out of it and love this family. He may have been a Stand In, but it was the best decision in my opinion. 




Title: Does He Know?
Series: Everlasting Ink #1
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Age Gap/Best Friend's Brother
Release Date: November 14, 2023


BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio.

Emerson

It’s not like I planned to fall for my older brother’s best friend.

It just happened. With a perfect body covered in tattoos, and a dirty mouth, Roman is the kind of guy women notice—and believe me, I noticed. Even when I tried not to.

When he finally gives in to temptation, there’s no going back. At least for me. Too bad Roman doesn’t see it that way.

He thinks he needs to protect me and my relationship with my brother, but I don't need him to fight my battles. I just need him.

Roman

My name whispered from Emerson’s perfect pink lips is all it takes for me to betray my best friend.

Before that night, I kept the green-eyed beauty at arm’s length. Watched her from afar and told myself that the chemistry between us was one-sided.

I pretended that I didn’t want her more than my next breath. Which is what’s on the line if her brother ever finds out we’ve been sneaking around behind his back.

But I can’t stay away. Especially after knowing what it’s like to have her and lose her.

Now, I’m given a second chance, and I have every intention of making her mine—consequences be damned.

BLOGS REVIEW

Does He Know is book one in the Everlasting Ink series and I always forget how much I enjoy reading her stories. I never pick up her books in order or don't always read the full series (shame on me!), but I love her writing style. Rome and Emerson may have an age gap and be tied to not only her brother, but the rest of the Ink family. I'm still not sure who I loved more, these two or the whole set of characters. Roe you're a true friend (well they are all after reading the book really), but I cannot wait to see you in a story. Am I hoping for it to be within the Ink family, yes, but we shall see. Right or wrong, I love how her brother, Forrest handled the outcome. Your heart melts when it comes to these tattoo boys having a soft side. Love it! I cannot wait to see how the others develop and find the one to soften them up.

BLOGS REVIEW

Rainfall is book one in the Seattle Blades series and what a great way to kick it off! Hockey style and perfect for the time of sean. In this book we of course get the hockey, second chance romance and some much anticipated suspense on how it all unravels with the surprise (leave it at that to avoid spoilers). Isla and Cillian bonded from a young age through hockey, they both had their right and wrong with the events and if you think the bonding between these two was heart melting wait to meet Sadie.  This was my first book by this author and I truly enjoyed it.

BLOGS REVIEW

Worth the Shots is a book in the Booze and Bad Decision series and each can be read as a standalone as I have not read the others in the series. Aidan is in the band, Rhett Taylor band and Ronnie is so completely opposite of him. They have a love, hate tension going on throughout, but it is always funny seeing these bad boys with a troubled past fall to their knees. It kinda has you singing a song similar to this title, haha. Whiskey it is! One last shot to end the series.

BLURB:

Connor Spears is hockey royalty who most definitely never planned to accidentally marry his childhood irritation Hadley Crews.

Connor is smug, grew up destined for his hockey career, and he’s irritatingly good-looking. He was also my next-door neighbor growing up. He wouldn’t give me the time of day and made it clear he would never be friends with me, the ballerina and daughter of a baseball legend. Except for that one time. Years later, one hazy night, and now he’s apparently my husband according to the paper next to his bed in a Vegas hotel room. You would think we would have it annulled, but he needs to clean up his image, and I’m a sucker for his occasional glances.

So, we agree to stay married.

Rumor spreads fast in Lake Spark, and the responses of our parents, who are best friends, well, uh… they’re mixed. But the problem with marrying for convenience is that you discover secrets about each other. You learn things too, like how he is by far more protective of you than you thought, or how sharing a bed brings out his dominant side. The thing is, it turns out that I may mean more to Connor than he’ll ever admit. When life throws me another twist, I need a real husband to support me. And it turns out that Connor may have always been offside, waiting to win…

Connor and Hadley bring heartwarming steam to this marriage-of-convenience romance with a hint of enemies-to-lovers and a dash of unrequited love. Waiting to Win can be read as a complete standalone and is the second book in the interconnected Lake Spark Off-Season series which is a spin-off of the Lake Spark series that includes their parents’ stories. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of hockey.

BLOGS REVIEW

Waiting to Win is book two in the Lake Sparks: Off Season series. If you followed the original series then you know who Connor and Hadley are; if not, have no fear you can follow along just fine as they are older now and exploring their own adulthood. He is your typical bad boy that needs to clean up his image, she is the true girl next girl (they grew up together) and share that frenemies over the years. Waking up in Vegas is a whole new puck game for them. You can feel the tension and passion that these two held off on releasing over the years. I enjoyed this much anticipated book and love how it ended! I highly recommend it and the series.
