I honestly didn't read the blurb or check out the trope teasers for this before I jumped right in. But I saw a couple in passing before I started reading so as things occurred, I had thoughts on where they were going to go. I don't think I got a single one of them right.

 

Deacon was the perfect blend of sweet, protective, caring and possessive. The story felt like insta love in the best of ways but it also had so much depth to the characters. I loved their history and the relationships they had with their families. Brynn was all that you would expect from Scarlett St James's daughter. A backbone of steel yet so caring and loving to everyone around her.

 

As always, we got the whole beautiful, crazy extended family and a good crossover of their lives. I got all the feels, and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book.

The Sweet Spot by Bella Matthews is now live! 


 

 

From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews, comes a hot new hockey coach, single dad, marriage of convenience, small town romance.

 

A fake marriage with a single dad wasn't on my dance card but there are worse ways to start the summer.

Our story didn’t begin the night I agreed to marry Deacon Kane to help him keep his daughter. It started ten years ago, with a hotshot hockey player I couldn’t wait to see each summer. He was big, broad, and filled out his board shorts so damn nicely. But holy hell… The memories of teenage Deacon don’t hold a candle to the man he is now, the one who makes me melt each time he says, "my wife."

What was supposed to be a marriage of convenience quickly spirals into something else. Something I can’t control. Because this man makes me feel alive in a way I haven’t felt in months, and I want more.

More sparks.
More life.
More time.

Can a relationship based on lies last… Especially when I’m the one keeping all the secrets?

The Knockout by Bella Matthews is now live! 


 

 

From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a hot new hockey romance between a broken ballerina and the forbidden bad boy who saves her.

 

We all have dirty secrets. Some are just more fun to hide than others.

 

Ares Wilder is a so-called bad boy. A ladies man. The teammate most likely to fight both on and off the ice. And now this devastatingly dark and handsome hockey player with a sinful smile and a filthy mouth is my twin sister’s new brother-in-law, landing him firmly in the forbidden category.

 

Only he doesn’t see it that way.

 

Resisting him should be no big deal, right?

At least that’s what I thought…

 

Until one night, he manages to look past the illusion I’d spent a lifetime perfecting and see the broken girl behind the pink satin pointe shoes.

 

We were the perfect storm I never wanted to escape.

But with secrets piling up and my world crashing down, will Ares be one more thing I destroy?

The best thing about discovering a new to me author is getting to binge their back catalogue, the worst thing is when you inhale them and then have to wait while they are writing their current series. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier to have stumbled across Bella Matthews but waiting for each of these books to be released is a terrible torture. Especially since I get so caught up on the characters and their families and extended family and I can’t find anything else to read while I’m waiting because I don’t want to read anything other than the book I’m waiting for.

 

Anyway, the moment finally arrived and I got my grabby hands on it. And I got lost in the banter and the family connections and then I was falling for Ares. I couldn’t put this book down. Everything about the way Ares and Grace came together and then grew this beautiful relationship was so easy to just get wrapped up in.

 

But honestly, Ares was everything. He gave such awesome swoon. Watching him win over Grace and then show up at every opportunity and not just fight for them but to force Grace to look at what she wanted and fight for it herself was beautifully orchestrated. I needed Grace to pull her head out a little sooner, but I also completely understood where she was coming from.  This was one book where I was so absorbed in reading it play out I couldn’t even take a minute to try to guess what was going to happen next.

 

I knew there were things that were going to need to be sorted out but I also had complete faith that everything was going to work out perfectly. Everything about the book was like a warm bath on a cold day and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one.

The Wildcat by Bella Matthews is now live! 


 

 

What do you get when you mix a devastatingly handsome hockey player who doesn’t do casual with a blonde bombshell cheerleader who doesn’t do serious?

 

I was supposed to be taking the summer off from dating… and flirting… and men in general. A cleanse. It sounded good in theory. But theory went out the window when my own personal kryptonite sat on the bar stool next to mine.

 

Six feet, five inches of stacked muscle and chiseled features, he exuded a cocky confidence that was hard to miss and even harder to resist. This man was delectable. Like a decadent piece of chocolate cake, tempting me to indulge.

 

And that was before I knew how he tasted.

 

The rules were simple:

One night.

No names.

No strings.

 

Until my handsome stranger turned out to be the hot-as-sin star forward for the Philadelphia Revolution hockey team. A single dad with two adorable kids who tug at my heart strings, and a family almost as obnoxious as my own.

 

But Cross Wilder isn’t looking for a hookup.

And I’m not looking for a fairytale.

The question is — do I have a choice?

Ok so the teasers for this book kicked off a massive Kings of Kroydon Hills binge because I had to read that first and then I couldn’t read The Keeper until I had this in my hands, and I have zero regrets. I am officially obsessed with Bella Matthews and her huge, crazy, family, friend, found family crew and in desperate need to go back and binge the Kings and all the other books I didn’t realise lead me to this series. I knew they were connected, obviously but when I saw this was second gen of the Kings of Kroydon Hills I thought I could just read them and come back to the others later. And yeah, I didn’t feel lost, and I knew who all the players were but I want to be in on everything. 

 

Although honestly if I had just read this book, I would probably feel exactly the same and would be madly stalking Bella to get my grabby hands on her earlier books. Oh, and bonus, they are all in KU so they are completely guilt free binge reading. You know other than the fact I’m hiding from the children trying to squeeze in one more chapter before adulting.

 

Everly & Cross were just everything. I am a massive sucker for a single dad. As soon as I see that I’m jumping on board (except if it’s the nanny) and throw in sports and growly, possessive alphas with over-the-top huge families and I couldn’t be happier. I loved the fact that Cross and Everly were so instantly attracted to each other and then as they got to know each other it was like all these little extra cherries on top. 

 

I was expecting some major ex drama from this book, and I was watching those pages pass wondering when the smelly stuff was going to hit the fan. So, when there was and yet there wasn’t I would never have seen it play out like that and I was kind of let down but I was also so there for it because it felt so realistic and empowering for Everly. But you know I’m a vengeful little reader and I wouldn’t have minded something more painful and graphic, even if I did think it was dealt with maturely. 

 

The book was hot, and I did read a few pages with tears in my eyes and a few where I kinda wanted to kick some people in some places. But I couldn’t put it down and I can’t wait to see who’s up next and hopefully by the time that lands on my kindle I’ll be all caught up.
