Broken Boys Can't Love by Micalea Smeltzer is live!




Off-limits.
 
That’s what Jude is to me. 
 
My older brother doesn’t trust me with his player of a best friend. 
 
Which is totally fine, because I’m not interested. 
 
As Jude and I reluctantly become friends, I start to see that there’s more to him than others notice. But I still won’t go there, not when I have a crush on someone else. But Jude’s the perfect person to help show me the ropes when it comes to the opposite sex, besides it’s not like he’ll get attached to me.
 
Except he does.
 
And the thing about broken boys?
 
They’re way too easy to fall for.

First, I need to confess that I am completely biased as I am obsessed with this series. Every book has been awesome, and I am so glad I stumbled across this author. She has fast become an insta one click and I love that each book sets up the next book so perfectly that I put every book down dying to get my hands on the next one while also wishing I could go back and read this one again for the first time.

 

So as mentioned by the time I put down Good Guys Don't Lie I was dying to see what happened with Millie and Jude. And find out more about what had made Jude such a broken little toy. Sadly, I have a real thing for the broken, man whore, bad boys and Jude was right up there. Until he wasn't. Once we found out what had caused his pain, I wanted to wrap him up in kisses. And then he went and gave the best boyfriend, and I was besotted. Because holy swoon.

 

Millie was an awesome heroine. She didn't play games or act coy. Everything about her was just perfect. And I loved watching her learn who she was and what she wanted from life. As a couple these two were so cute and I really loved watching them fall in love and work everything out. But omg I need the next book now.

Real Players Never Lose by Micalea Smeltzer is now live!
 




I've heard the whispers on campus of what a player Teddy McCallister is. Most girls on campus are vying to be the one, but guys like him don't settle down.

When he overhears that my tuition has been pulled and I'm going to basically be a college reject he makes me an offer I can't refuse.

Be his fake girlfriend until graduation so he can get his inheritance.

It seems simple enough. I need the money and he needs someone to make him look committed.

If one thing is certain, it's that I won't be falling for him. But no one warned me about what happens when my fake boyfriends starts to fall for me.

Well, that was unexpected. After reading the last two books in this series and getting to know him as the lovable puppy I wasn't sure what we were going to get from Teddy. He was such a sweetheart, but he was also a bit of a dick. Not in a negative way, just in a born with a silver spoon doesn't take anything seriously kind of way.

 

Teddy was the epitome of here for a good time not a long time. And when he let his friend down with the house because his dad laid down the law I kind of expected he was going to fall further off the rails. But Teddy was a lot deeper than that and his dads decree made him reassess his life.

 

And when Vanessa entered the scene and he cooked up the whole fake girlfriend idea I wondered where he was going with it. But it didn't matter because the journey was awesome, but the destination was even better. Obviously as I've read the previous books, I knew the characters were wonderful. And the story had the perfect balance of emotion, chemistry, fun and I couldn't put it down.

 

Each of these books can be read as complete standalones. Although I highly recommend reading them all because they have all been great. Hopefully there are more to come because I can't get enough of these characters.

BLURB

When I agreed to be his roommate, I had no way of knowing that Cole Anderson was one of my father’s star players.
Having transferred to Aldridge University for my junior year, I wasn’t familiar with anyone on campus.
If there’s one rule I’ve always been supposed to follow it’s don’t date a basketball player.
Cole is different, though, and I don’t want to stay away.
But when he finds out I’m the coach’s daughter I might not have any say in the matter.

EXCERPT

I finish my beer and add it to the growing empty pile beside the cooler. Fluffing my hair, I shake out my arms and smile at my roommate. “I’m going to dance. Alone.”
His eyes follow me as I walk over to the actual fire where some people sit on the ground but quite a few are dancing. Sail by AWOLNATION plays, the beat vibrating along with the pulse of my blood flowing through my veins.
I danced from the time I was four through high school. Even though I love math and the sciences, and consider myself on the more studious side, dance has been my creative outlet, a passion. I know I’m good at it, and as I move my body, eyes closed, I know people are watching. When I dance I don’t care why they’re looking at me or what they’re thinking. I do it for me. Because it feels good to move my body, to exist in a moment. Dance is freeing, it’s the language of our bodies.
When I finally open my eyes, they connect immediately with caramel brown ones. He’s moved closer to the bonfire, beer bottle in hand while his jaw works angrily at the piece of gum he’s chewing.
I know I shouldn’t do it.
I’ve sworn off men.
He’s my roommate.
He’s hot as hell.
But I do it anyway.
I crook my finger. It’s a challenge, a silent dare. The ball’s in his court.
He shoves the bottle into the hand of one of his friends, slinking toward me like a panther. When he gets to me he wraps one big hand around my waist, the heat of his palm a brand against my skin. He begins to move to the song as well, and despite our massive height difference it works—we work, but I don’t let my brain linger on that thought too long.
I don’t know if he has any formal dance training, but he moves like someone who has at least some knowledge or basic understanding of rhythm. The fire crackles nearby, and I faintly taste ash on my tongue. His brows are drawn low as he watches me, our movements evenly matched as we anticipate each other’s movements. People still watch, but this time they’re not just watching me. It’s us. Normally I would be scared to put on a show like this, I’m not this bold, but after everything with Todd some spontaneity won’t kill me. In fact, I think it’ll be good for me. It also helps that on this campus no one knows who I am. I like the anonymity of it. I can be anyone.
He knows you, my conscience whispers to me.
But not really, sure he knows who I am, but Cole doesn’t know much of my past, of my hurts, the scars I bear. And tonight, I just want to be, to exist in this moment.
With both hands on my waist, he dips me backwards and my hair falls with me, the ends touching the grass. When he pulls me back up, we’re closer than before. Chest to chest. Heartbeat to heartbeat—well, maybe not quite since he’s such a giant. I crane my neck back as we sway, our hips moving in a sensual rhythm, and our eyes meet.
Lust.
Desire.
Sex.
It’s there. In his gaze. Mine too. We can’t go there, not just because we’re living together, but because I need time. To heal. To stand on my own two feet. To grow.
I pull out of his arms. “No. I can’t. I’m sorry.” I bite my lip, truly remorseful. “I’m sorry,” I repeat, taking a step back.
Another.
One more.
Until I’m disappearing into the shadows.

AUTHOR BIO

Hi. I’m Micalea. Ma-call-e-uh. Weird name, I know. My mom must’ve known I was going to be odd even in the womb. I’ve written a lot of books. Like a lot. Don’t ask me how many, I don’t remember at this point. I have an unhealthy addiction to Diet Coke but I can’t seem to break the habit. I listen to way too much music and hedgehogs have taken over my life. Crazy is the word that best sums up my life, but it’s the good kind of crazy and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

 I was offered an advanced copy of this and the blurb had me unable to resist. But then I picked it up and realised that there was obviously a book or two previous that I had missed out on and my nosiness kicked in and I checked it out on Amazon. And discovered that this was indeed book two in the series and that book one was on KU. So I started there and developed a massive crush on Cole so I was even more excited to dive in.

 

At first, I was wondering if he was still hung up on the whole Rory and Mascen drama and if that was going to annoy me. But thankfully he quickly realised it was a non-issue and he dealt with it so perfectly it just made me crush harder. Because honestly everything he did just made him more and more perfect boyfriend material. He was the sweetest, most considerate hero I have read in a while and I loved him.

 

Zoey was pretty great herself, but she started off so caught up in her past I thought she needed help to build a bridge. However, she was also able to put her issues into perspective and appreciate the people around her. And watching Cole win her over made me read this with a huge smile on my face.

 

I am so hoping that Teddy's book is next because that boy has some demons he needs to exorcise. I have a strong feeling that we will get all the laughs between some serious feels and I am there for it.

 

 

 

I saw the promo for Good Guys Don't Win and I had to get my grabby hands on it. Then I read the first few pages and felt like I was missing out on something, so I checked on GoodReads and realised it was book two in the series. Since I had some time with our current Covid restrictions I decided to one click this on KU and read it first and I'm glad I did.

 

From the start I loved Aurora, AKA Rory. She was so strong and competent and after everything she had been through, I wanted everything to work out perfectly for her. And honestly despite the fact that I wanted Mascen to get a junk punch for most of this book the chemistry between them was electric. 

 

Mascen really had no reason to be the jackhole that he was, which kind of frustrated me. Obviously, it added to the story but the fact his life had been awesome while Rory's fell apart and he was the bitter one annoyed me. Then he would do something sweet or have a silent epiphany and I would be putty in his hands again.

 

And now I get to dive into Cole's book which already has me so excited. Especially since he was so awesome in this book.
