Synopsis

Five years ago, Brooke had everything she wanted… until it disappeared like a magic trick. While she grieved the loss of her perfect future, fate sealed it. Moving on wasn’t an option. It was a requirement.

Now, Brooke has more money than she knows what to do with. But she also has panic attacks, no relationships outside her family, and a daughter. Brooke may have shut down, but there is no way to numb the constant terror that Mia could be taken away from her. She spends her days looking over her shoulder and avoiding her shameful memories.

She’s fine hiding from the world until Chris moves next door. A friendship forms when they unwillingly bond over their painful pasts. As walls come down, their relationship starts to develop into more. Brooke now realizes everything she’s missing out on and wants—a happy and stable family for her and Mia.

But Mia may not be the child with no traces of her father as Brooke assumed. And making a moral choice will risk everything.

This book contains explicit language, graphic sexual content, and sensitive topics which may be triggers to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.

Drew Jackson seemed to have it all. He has a family who loves and supports him, a tight circle of friends, and is a rising star with the Milwaukee Mavericks. Then, it all begins to unravel. Cam, the only man he’s ever loved, falls head over heels for Drew’s teammate. He makes a critical mistake in the playoffs that he’s not sure he’ll be able to recover from. And then, his world really crashes around him…

Eric Sapp may no longer play for the Mavericks, but he’s still one of the guys. No one could have imagined how much his life would change when he agreed to help his former teammates mourn the end of their run for the pennant. After stopping a brutal attack, Eric is forced to face the feelings that’ve been growing for his roommate, Drew. That’d be much easier if Drew wasn’t hell-bent on pushing everyone away as he recovers.

Neither of them were counting on Bryce Shaw. He and Drew enjoyed the one night they spent together, but knew it was unlikely they’d be anything more since they lived in different parts of the country. After Bryce is relocated to help a failing LGBT homeless outreach, he wants to explore something more with the Mavericks’ short stop.

As much as Eric wishes he could be the one to help his friend, he knows Bryce holds the key to Drew’s recovery. Will pushing the two back together be the biggest mistake of his life or will they all learn there is strength in numbers?

About Sloan Johnson

Sloan Johnson

Sloan Johnson is a big city girl trapped in a country girl’s life. While she longs for the hustle and bustle of New York City or Las Vegas, she hasn’t yet figured out how to sit on the deck with her morning coffee, watching the deer and wild turkeys in the fields while surrounded by concrete and glass.

When she was three, her parents received their first call from the principal asking them to pick her up from school. Apparently, if you aren’t enrolled, you can’t attend classes, even in Kindergarten. The next week, she was in preschool and started plotting her first story soon after.

Later in life, her parents needed to do something to help their socially awkward, uncoordinated child come out of her shell and figured there was no better place than a bar on Wednesday nights. It’s a good thing they did because this is where she found her love of reading and writing. Who needs socialization when you can sit alone in your bedroom with a good book?

Now, Sloan is a tattooed mom with a mohawk and two kids. She’s been kicked out of the PTA in two school districts and is no longer asked to help with fundraisers because she’s been known to lose herself with a good book and forget she has somewhere to be.

Synopsis

From the moment Lev Leokov spots the young woman hiding behind her hair in the middle of the gentleman’s club, he can’t take his eyes off of her.
For the very first time in his life, he is affected. Having been told his entire life that he can’t process or understand emotion, he considers it a big deal.

When Mina Harris gets caught red-handed with a wallet that isn’t hers, she falls apart. She’s tired, lonely and hasn’t eaten in days.

Lev offers her an ultimatum… A nice warm bed, a hot meal and a job, or the cops.

Mina takes her chances with Lev.
After all, a person with nothing has nothing left to lose.

***This book enters the world of the extended Leokov family which are introduced in Friend-Zoned, however, is unrelated**

Review

“They say penguins mate for life.”  He reached up again and jerked hard at his tie. “And I want to be your penguin.”

The cover, the blurb, the name, the RUSSIANS, there were so many things that had me dying to start this new book by one of my favorite authors the moment it hit my kindle and lucky for me it lived up to all of them. Delightfully written Lev was an easy read full of wit, action and heart. Unable to put it down I spent a whole day lost in the world of the Leokov family.

‘Mouse? Why mouse? Why not call me what I am. A street rat.’

 It is a well documented fact that I love a man with a disability and/or social disorder and Lev in all his standoffishness and awkward coldness fits into the later category. A tragic childhood has left him closed off and unable to understand and truly express love. He cares deeply for his family and daughter and would die for them but he doesn’t understand that what he feels is love and is convinced he will never be able to. Then he meets his little homes mouse, Mina. Mina’s had a hard life that had her living on the streets hungry and defenseless for years. That is until one night desperate to eat Lev catchers her stealing a wallet in her club. Instead of turning her in to the police he takes her home and both their lives are forever changed.

‘Lev could not be fixed. And I didn’t want to repair the broken part of him. He was perfectly imperfect, and I was his heart and soul.’

Belle has an incredible way with words that hooks me from the beginning and delivers the entire way through. So much of this story worked beautifully for me. I adored Lev and Mina but I am desperate, repeat DESPERATE for Nas’s story. She was both hilarious and sad and I can already tell that her story is going to break me and build me up again and I can’t wait!

Synopsis

The living seek forgiveness. The dead seek revenge.

A first love.
A last breath.
A haunting past.

Armed with a sinful past and an equally sinful body, Jackson Knight absolves his vow of celibacy to pursue Sergeant Monaghan’s unsuspecting—older—housekeeper.

Ryn Middleton, on the cusp of turning forty with a snarky daughter, a killer dog, and an abusive ex-husband, finds Jackson’s advances humorous and unbelievable. After intense negotiations including Vera Wang, Ed Sheeran, and sex four times a day, Ryn accepts Jackson’s marriage proposal on their first date.

What could possibly go wrong?

While struggling to lay claim to the woman of the dreams he never had, Jackson is forced to deal with a grief-stricken Jillian trying to hold on to her past without letting go of her future—the doctor who took her heart and the Sergeant who gave her a new one.

Beyond the hope for light, lies the middle of darkness, the illusion of truth, and a haunting past.

Review

OK, guys!  I laughed, I cried, I literally cussed at my kindle.  This book made me run through the gamut of all of my emotions and I felt so emotionally drained and unable to read anything else for a couple of days, aka a book hangover and it is all Jewel E. Ann’s fault.  Days later, I am still damn emotional about it.  Ahhhhh.  I cannot even look at these quotes I highlight without getting a bit upset!

“I’m not invincible.”

“You are to me.”

So, basically Middle of Knight picks up right where End of Day leaves off and I have to tell you that I was mightily relieved by this.  I was worried we were going over to Jackson’s book without figuring out what was going to happen with Sarge and Jillian and I just could not have that happen.  Jewel managed to mix and mingle these two stories so beautifully.  You get to really meet Jackson’s new love interest, Ryn, an almost forty mom who also happens to be his house keeper.  You get to enjoy them falling in love very comically because, honestly Ryn and Jackson are a hot mess of epic proportions.

“I’m going to run to the restroom while you see if your panties have cooled down.  Okay, hot pants?”

And thank God for Ryn and Jackson because I do not know what I would have done without their comedic relief.  It is just that Jillian’s story is just so incredibly hard.  Gut wrenching, even.  Her and Sarge put my emotions though the blender.  Their love, hate, love again, sexy time, and then how it all ended.  It was almost just too much.  SO.  MANY.  FEELS.

“It’s time,”

God, so incredibly much happens this book and Jewel did such a crazy good job of balancing the drama and angst with a good dose of comedy.  This one is written brilliantly.  The highs, the lows, the loss of someone and the albeit short reunion with someone I have been dying to meet in the present!  Full of surprises, this one, guys!

“William Arthur Ward.  ‘God gave you a gift of 84,600 seconds today.  Have you used one of them to say thank you?”

“Meader packs the flawless second Hot in Chicago romance with superb relationship development…and note-perfect dialogue…The secondary characters play their parts beautifully, and Eli and Alexandra are a captivating couple…”

—Publishers Weekly starred review

 

“Thank you, Kate Meader, for creating a heroine who does not fit the status quo! The idea of a plus-size female firefighter being described as sexy and irresistible makes this book stand out. Meader also provides readers with steamy sex scenes, colorful characters and riveting dialogue. The themes of staying true to yourself and the impact of family legacies make for an interesting storyline. This tale is a real page-turner.”

—RT Book Reviews four and a half star “scorcher” TOP PICK GOLD review

 

About the Book:

 

The scorching-hot Dempsey siblings continue to fight fire with fire…

 

Her heart’s in his line of fire…

Heating up reading lists and leisure time long after the summer heat has cooled will be Kate Meader’s PLAYING WITH FIRE, which tells the story of rookie firefighter Alex Dempsey. She may be the only woman in Engine Company 6—and may have burned through thirty-four dates in the last ten months—but she’s got everything under control. At least until she rescues Eli Cooper, Chicago’s devastatingly handsome mayor, from a hotel blaze. These two have clashed before—Eli’s a brilliant politician, used to the spotlight, and Alex has no use for a man who can smooth-talk anyone into anything, including his bed. But after their headline-grabbing encounter, Alex is the one starting to sizzle…

 

…but first she’ll set his world aflame…

Eli Cooper has one goal: winning the next election, and Alex, his sassy savior, may be the spark he needs to light up his sputtering mayoral campaign. “Dating” the female firefighter who saved his life is political gold, but her total lack of filter makes Eli incensed—and more than a little hot and bothered. For the sake of ratings, their bickering will have to wait until they get some privacy…

And once these two are alone together, there’ll be no way to extinguish the flames in Kate Meader’s second sizzling installment in the Hot in Chicago series, PLAYING WITH FIRE!

Synopsis

As the only female firefighter at Engine Co. 6, Alexandra Dempsey gets it from all sides: the male coworkers who think she can’t do the job, the wives and girlfriends who see her as a threat to their firefighter men, and her overprotective foster brothers who want to shelter their baby sister at all costs. So when she single-handedly saves the life of Eli Cooper, Chicago’s devastatingly handsome mayor, she assumes the respect she’s longed for will finally come her way. But it seems Mr. Mayor has other ideas…

Eli Cooper’s mayoral ratings are plummeting, his chances at reelection dead in the water. When a sexy, curvaceous firefighter gives him the kiss of life, she does more than bring him back to the land of the living—she also breathes vitality into his campaign. Riding the wave of their feel-good story might prop up Eli’s flagging political fortunes, but the sizzling attraction between them can go nowhere; he’s her boss, and there are rules that must be obeyed. But you know what they say about rules: they’re made to be broken…

Review

“Kissing her was like falling into madness.”

Sexy firefighters, ex military men and enough wit and steam to keep me turning pages, Flirting With Fire is everything I look for in a fast and fun read. The Dempsey clan is a group of foster kids turned firefighters and each one of this cast of characters has an intriguing backstory and each one I read I fall more and more in love with this family.

“Anytime you want to sin with this sinner honey, you just let me know.”

Alexandra was snarky and straight forward. Tough on the outside but all girl where it matters she comes off as a tomboy and I was worried I wouldn’t find her appealing as a female lead but when it matters she is feminine and sweet. Alex’s desire to succeed as a female firefighter and Eli’s stance as mayor that women cannot make good firefighters quickly turns the heat these two feel into a passion to prove the  other wrong. Constant bickering and opposing opinions keeps the story vibrant and moving quickly. But the moments that they put their differences aside and give into the passion they clearly feel for the other are explosive and hot as all!

“Eli Cooper might not have her vote this time around, but he had something far more valuable. Her heart. The wily, manipulative bastard.”

Kate Meader always delivers a supremely sexy and intriguing story. I was hooked with Eli’s domineering personality and Alex’s ability to put him in his place just sealed the deal. Contemporary Romance lovers should definitely give this standalone novel in the Hot In Chicago series a read!

Synopsis

Cuddle up by the fire with the irresistible prequel to Kate Meader’s smokin’ Hot in Chicago series—originally published in the sizzling holiday anthology Baby, It’s Cold Outside—a superhot e-novella that will warm you from your head to your heart and all the way to your toes!

Chicago firefighter Beck Rivera always knew his destiny would be defined by two things: his dream to follow in the footsteps of his legendary foster father Sean Dempsey and his teenage passion for heiress Darcy Cochrane, the one girl who could both stoke and cool his fire. Loving her meant setting her free and breaking her heart—and his. But when a chance reunion at his family’s bar, sparked by a drunk Santa, places her in his path again, destiny can no longer be denied.

The last thing heiress-turned-tattoo-artist Darcy Cochrane needs is the rollercoaster of emotion stirred up by her first love: sexy, gorgeous man-on-fire Beck Rivera. But he always had such talented hands. And more talented lips. And…maybe one time can’t hurt. Then she’ll send him packing like he did to her all those years ago. But Darcy and Beck soon discover that nothing ignites holiday flames like rekindling a lost love…

Review

Rekindle The Flame by Kate Meader is a novella that was originally in the Baby, It’s Cold Outside anthology and it was how I personally first discovered Kate’s books and when I fell in love with this crew of foster kids turned firefighters that are sexily single handedly saving Chicago from the perils of flames.

This fast, fun and sexy read centers around a second chance romance between Darcy, society girl turned tattoo artist, and Beck, a drool worthy firefighter who doubted when they were younger if his blue collar job and foster kid background would be enough for the high class girl he loved. But Darcy is back in Chicago and sporting a new hot tattooed look along with the attitude to go with it and Beck is more into her than ever. He is determined to make her his again, no matter what.

For a short read, Rekindle The Flame was packed full of exciting story lines, memorable characters and smoking hot sex. The novella stood out to me even in an anthology full of more well known authors and had me hunting Kate down and begging her to let me read the rest of the series too. I highly recommend this story and hope you fall for Dacy, Beck and the rest of the Dempsey clan just like I did.
