Blurb:

He’s loved her since childhood; one fake date might finally make it real.


I was 15 years old when I stood on a hill in a peach orchard with the girl of my dreams, contemplating marriage.  

Now I’m a hockey star, The Maverick Murphy. 

I have flow on the ice and on my head, but I still have trouble forming sentences when she’s around.

And she’s all around—living in my house, sharing my space, so close, I can smell her perfume on my clothes. 

I’m all grown up, and I’d still do anything for her. 


I was 15 when I stood on a hill in my family’s peach orchard with the cutest boy I knew and said I’d marry him on the spot. 

Now that boy is a grown man, a hockey star with muscles and dimples and smoldering hazel eyes.

He’s also my new roommate, but I’m not here to fall in love. 

Our beloved peach trees are dying, and I’m here to find a cure.


When the town’s rich bully threatens to own our land and me along with it, I kind of snap. I kind of say Maverick’s mine for real.


It’s a lie. We’re only faking, but with every kiss, every touch, every stolen moment, reality starts to blur.

Still, as much as we want to pretend, he’s LA’s hockey champion, and when the semester ends, I’ll have to leave. 

That’s reality.


(Flow is a hockey romance with a golden retriever hero, a STEM FMC, childhood friends to lovers, he falls first [and so hard], fake dating, close proximity, roommates to lovers, it’s always been you, hilariously meddling family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)


This was a cute story; I loved the plot, as it was different and interesting, and we actually learned something about peach orchards and the trials that can arise, and it was a brand new author to us.

The characters were great, especially Maverick's hockey family. Dove had a beautiful family along with wonderful friendships. Dove's family was sweet, kind, loving, and meddlesome when it came to their daughter's love life.

Dove and Maverick were friends growing up, best friends, and their lives are completely different. The ease between them is endearing, and their chemistry is beautiful.

It was great to see Maverick make his move for the girl he has always loved. He was a genuinely kind and loving guy.

Overall, this read was enjoyable. The slow-burning romance was a little too slow for us, but we did love the build-up to taking the chance on the connection that always remained between them. The side characters made us laugh with their witty banter, adding depth to the story and making it a fun read.

Messy past.

Small Town, Fire Read now in Kindle Unlimited or one-click today to fall in love with Josie & Tate.

*A standalone romance.


We enjoyed this small-town romance featuring Josie and Tate. Josie returns to her hometown after experiencing a devastating blow to her career path. The description of the town and its peeps made you want to live there, too. Hoping you enjoyed this fun and flirty read as we did. Both characters have experienced heartbreak, but while one has moved on, the other still clings too tightly to the past and has major trust issues. Although it is understandable to hold on to that trauma, you can't let one bad outcome as a teenager define the rest of your life. The characters were great, you have to love the rumor mill, and you also have the kind of friend who would give you the push you need to take the chance on the happiness you so deserve. Josie's character had a sense of humor, and we loved that. Tate was found to be a sweet, kind, and loving guy who puts his daughter first in all things, and we loved these things about this single dad. This was a fun, cute read that was quite enjoyable. It had that small-town feeling we love, great characters. The romance and chemistry between this couple were beautiful. It felt right for both of them to move from just friends to something more as the attraction and connection were almost instantaneous from meeting once again. Glad that Josie was willing to open her heart and take a chance on love again, and we're sure that Tate was up to the task of convincing her she made the right decision.

Release & Review for Red Eye Rendezvous by Kaylene Winter



RED-EYE RENDEVOUS

Kaylene Winter

Release Date: April 23

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Zachary Bennett is the mistake I never regretted.

Yale Law. Duffy’s. One night, neither of us ever named.

Fifteen years later, I make a living untangling love when it goes wrong.

He lives in airports and boardrooms and never lets anyone get too close.

Whenever he’s in Seattle, we meet for dinner.

Always platonic. Too much eye contact. Not enough honesty.

Then a wedding invitation lands in our inboxes.

Prague. A castle. Our oldest friends are finally saying yes.

He offers his private jet. Obnoxious. Excessive.

Exactly what I should refuse.

Of course, I say yes.

Skylar Morgan is the one thing I never closed.

Brilliant. Controlled. Fiercely independent.

The only woman who ever walked away from me.

I’ve respected her boundaries for far too long.

For once, I’m not letting distance decide for us.

Prague is waiting.

So is the past.

And a red-eye flight with nowhere to hide.

Red-Eye Rendezvous is a fast, addictive second-chance romance packed with heat, history, private jets, destination weddings, and a connection too powerful to keep in the friend zone.


This story was cute, fun, and flirty. The cast of characters was likeable and lovable. Bennett and Skylar have been friends since law school.This couple have secretly crushed on each other for years, but as 15 years have passed, Bennett is done waiting and plans to get his girl. 

Skylar is gun-shy of marriage, maybe even relationships, as she did not have the best role models growing up. Bennett's parents are more in love than ever and know happily ever afters do exist.

It was great to see Dove and Bennett's beautiful friendships in law school last the test of time. Their crew even then knew how Dove and Bennett felt about one another all those years ago.

I enjoyed this romance; I felt I was wearing a smile the entire time reading it. Dove and Bennett's chemistry was palpable. The fun and tender playful moments between them made you laugh and smile. The witty banter between friends was awesome. 

For a quick read, this story was touching and engaged our feelings as we may have shed a tear or two, as the ending could not be more perfect for this couple.

 Hoping this couple would reconnect romantically after all these years, I constantly thought so much wasted time, as tomorrow is never guaranteed, made us sad. Perhaps it was that each needed to spread their wings separately before finding their way back to one another. Can't wait to see what happens next in this series.
