Brielle wants to get lessons on how to seduce and land Kirby. She answers a dating app for a mentor to teach her. When they meet they are attracted to each other. The mentor, Hale, is especially attracted and has to keep reminding himself he is only there to teach her. Will the reminders work? Will their lessons devolve into more?

I enjoyed this story. I hated that they could not openly communicate because of the terms of their contract. Had they been able to communicate more freely of their pasts and what was currently occurring, they would not have had so many misunderstandings. Had they been more open about their feelings for each other not so many tears would have been shed (at least about their feelings of love.) I liked how Hale handled the misunderstandings of his past and life. I found that the chemistry between the two was off the charts. They were very much in tune with each other. It was great.

I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Reviewed for Wit and Sin

A baseball star with a reckless streak meets his match with a nurse who can’t be swayed by his charm in Hometown Hero. Mia Adams cannot catch a break. She’s working multiple jobs to try to pay off the debt her scumbag ex left in her name before skipping town. She’s a nurse, takes care of so many with compassion and kindness, and has a side business she’s trying to expand on top of it all. She doesn’t have time for Ace’s attitude, but she definitely could use the money his team is paying her to be his babysitter. Andrew “Easy Ace” Braddock works hard and plays harder. But his luck and bad boy charm can’t get him out of the latest pickle he finds himself in. Injured and laying low in Silverlake while he heals, Ace basks in being the hometown hero at first, which makes him a bit hard to like. He’s overly impressed with himself and doesn’t see past his own nose more often than not, which is frustrating, especially when you see how hard his actions have been on Mia and his brother Declan. Fortunately, around the halfway point Ace has a breakthrough. I enjoyed watching him become a better man. He screws up – a lot – but when he does it in the second half of the book it comes from a good (if misguided) place. Ace has a lot of lessons to learn in Hometown Hero but once he starts to grow his journey is one worth reading.

Attraction sparks immediately between Mia and Ace, but that doesn’t mean the romance is an easy one. Mia is at the end of her rope and I wanted her to not only find love but find someone she can depend on, can lean on in the hard times. I liked that she didn’t just fall all over herself with Ace. Part of that is due to her own issues with him stemming from her father ignoring her and focusing on Ace, the son he never had, when they were growing up. Mia takes a lot of hits in this book that just tug on your heartstrings. But watching her find support and love with Ace just warmed my heart.

Hometown Hero is the third book in the Silverlake Ranch series, but it can be read as a standalone. I loved Mia’s friendship with the Braddock siblings and I enjoyed watching the strained relationship between Ace and his brother Declan start to heal. And speaking of the eldest Braddock… Man, I hope author duo Liza Kendall have a book in store for Declan. The often stoic rancher grabbed my heart in the first Silverlake Ranch book and hasn’t let go since. So while I finished Mia and Ace’s book a satisfied reader, I am seriously on the edge of my seat, hoping Declan gets a book.

Taking His Shot by Kendall Ryan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Forget sparks, Taking His Shot breathes fire. The master of foreplay is back to make hearts swoon and kick hormones into overdrive. Ryan continues to spice it up with her signature style of heat, emotions and humor to even out some of the heartache. Jodie and Harper make it hard to say goodbye, but remind me why I fell head over heart for these Hot Jocks along the way.

Ryan has a constant habit of gracing my MUST READ list. Wild For You is just the most recent reason why. Grant and Ana are a match made in chaos. She needs a shoulder to lean on. His heart needs a wake-up call. What happens when a helping hand presents a chance at forever? Ryan has the magic touch. Her expert delivery and sense of humor will have readers laughing through their tears and forever craving more. The sweetest escape is only a page turn away.
