About the book
Hits Different is a sports romance, filled with wholesome angst, enjoyable banter, and just a dash of spice. It’s best friends to strangers to lovers, between two down bad ex-best friends who reconnect after life throws them back together. It’s unrequited love. Until it’s not.
Parker Di Rossi and Brandon Carter were best friends until the last night of high school, when Brandon made a confession, and Parker broke his heart.
Three years later, Brandon is now the MVP of the college soccer scene. But after a career-threatening injury lands him in rehab, he’s thrown back into his old friend’s orbit and forced to confront not only Parker, but the feelings he thought were buried a long time ago.
Faced with a family scandal and growing media pressure, Brandon's determined not to fall back in love with the one person he can never have. Romance between best friends never works, especially when one of them is straight.
The only problem?
Nobody told Parker that.
Parker has one goal: make his family proud by honouring his late father's legacy as a mixed martial artist.
But after getting expelled from college and kicked out of his MMA gym, he's forced to take a job working for his disapproving cousin at Summit, an elite soccer rehabilitation facility, as he desperately tries to get his life back on track.
The one bright side? It gives Parker the chance to finally make things right with Brandon Carter - Parker's former best friend, who he can't stop thinking about.
As Parker determinedly pursues his MMA ambitions, he grows closer to Brandon in ways that he never expected. Now, he has to choose what he wants to fight for more: his father’s legacy, or Brandon’s heart.

The Best Men
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
A single drunken text traps two rival best men in close quarters while planning a destination wedding. What begins as sharp banter and mutual irritation turns into an unexpected no-strings fling that threatens to become more. This sexy, funny standalone romance holds a 4.5-star Amazon rating and strong reader praise for its chemistry and heart.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Bestselling authors Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely team up for the first time in an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, irresistibly sexy standalone romance between the best man and the other best man!
In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a life-long penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send ten drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake.
If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman.
I also used the phrase “super hot wingman,” so I’d like to die now.
Instead, I have to plan a wedding with the aforementioned hottie and share a too-small guesthouse in steamy Miami.
Three days in the sun with the cocky, charming former athlete who likes to push my buttons? Fine, two can play at that let’s-infuriate-each-other game.
Until Asher ups the stakes with one wildly sexy suggestion. A no-strings fling, then I go back to my single dad life in New York, and he returns to his star-studded one.
Sign me up.
But the more nights I spend with the other best man, the more I want days too, and that just can't happen. Especially when I find out the real reason why…
Contents Include: First times, a secret to-do list, champion-level flirting, fast cars, #eggplants, and two men who look good in formal wear.

About the book
Tight end Landry Banks knows the score when he signs with the Charleston Condors in a rebuilding year.
New owner. New coach. New players. New rules.
But one rule hasn’t changed: Don’t hook up with your best friend’s little brother.
Rookie quarterback Riley Flynn knows what it takes to make it in the NFL. He’s in Charleston to prove himself—to the world and to his teammates, but mostly to his older brother, who’s never believed he could be a star.
The last thing he expects is for his brother’s best friend Landry to welcome him with open arms and an offer to become roommates.
Riley’s always believed Landry was straight—but the way Landry keeps checking him out leaves him suddenly unsure. And Landry’s hot looks certainly don’t help squash the crush he’s always had on his brother’s best friend.
Revisiting his teenage crush isn't part of the plan. But as he and Landry fall into a rhythm of thrilling plays on the field and sizzling tension off it, there's no denying their connection.
Riley isn’t willing to trade becoming the next big NFL superstar for love. But with a man like Landry Banks waiting to catch anything he throws at him, maybe he can have both.

About the book
“A bold hockey romance that hits like a slap shot.” —Rachel Reid, USA Today bestselling author of Heated Rivalry
Two bitter rivals go head-to-head in this age-gap, enemies-to-lovers hockey romance.
Michael Sato is used to fighting.
An undersized defenseman, Mike had to be tough, clawing his way up from the minors by taking down one ferocious player at a time. No way is he going to lose his spot on the league roster, especially not by giving in to his attraction to a hot, infuriating rival.
Daniel Garcia is used to fighting, too.
Enforcer Danny is the biggest, meanest player on the ice. A target for anyone trying to make a name for themselves, he doesn’t show weakness, nor is he going to risk his last seasons for a sexy rookie who nearly knocked him on his ass.
When their intense physical connection explodes outside of the rink, Mike and Danny learn they just might be able to build something real, but only if they can let down their guard—and their fists—long enough.

Caulky

Our take
A rebound fling with a hot contractor was supposed to be simple. Instead, weekly hookups and an anonymous online connection spark feelings neither man planned for. As desire turns personal, Ren and Cole must face what they really want. This steamy MM romance holds 4.4 stars on Amazon and over 9,000 Goodreads ratings.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Ren is in desperate need of a rebound fling. Lucky for him, the smoking hot contractor he hired has just the tool for the job.
The last thing I want is another relationship or another broken heart. All I need are my bees and the occasional hookup to scratch the itch.
Okay, maybe meeting up with my hot contractor weekly is a little more than occasional. And maybe the way I’m starting to feel about the guy I’ve been anonymously chatting with online should concern me. But CaulkyAF doesn’t want to meet, and Cole doesn’t want anything serious, so what’s the worst that could happen?
Caulky is book 1 in the Four Bears Construction Series and can be read as a stand-alone. This is a funny, steamy MM story guaranteed to make you laugh and swoon. Absolutely NO cheating and NO love triangle. This series does NOT contain shifters, it's the OTHER kind of bears.
