Learn Your Lesson (Kings of the Ice #3) by Kandi Steiner Release Date: April 19, 2024 About Learn Your Lesson My mother only wanted me to learn one lesson growing up… Men are trash. Her father left her, and then my father left us. Being raised by her and my grandmother, I was surrounded by the reminder to be independent and guard my heart. After my one and only experience with a boy in college fell flatter than a pancake, I realized they were right — and I was content to live the life of a twenty-six-year-old cat lady. Until Will Perry blew my quiet world to smithereens. Starting goalie for the Tampa Bay Ospreys and the kind of hot that scrambles your brain, all I was ever supposed to be to him was his daughter’s kindergarten teacher. Then, in a twist of events, his temporary nanny. But temporary turns to permanent, and when I move into his pool house, everything changes. He’s impossibly grumpy and focused on only two things: hockey, and taking care of his daughter. I’m only focu

Whisper (Westbrook Elite #7) by Cambria Hebert Release Date: April 19, 2024 About Whisper Can you whisper? Something I never thought I’d ask the guy who is exactly my type but completely wrong for me. Someone I sneak secret glances at from a distance while vowing to never get too close. And then I get tossed in jail. With him. Know how forced proximity and extreme panic go together? They don’t. And the walls I spent a lifetime erecting around me crack, giving him an intimate view of all the secrets I work so hard to protect. Color me surprised when the pierced, tattooed DJ doesn’t recoil or call me a freak. Arsen gets me through the night, his attention like a match to my insides, lighting me on fire and making me burn. Keeping my distance is impossible. My body begs to be near him, but we just don’t mix. He’s fire. I’m water. Sound is his superpower but my kryptonite. For once in my life, my heart is louder than my head, and I can’t stay away. But it seems following my heart l

Bromantic Puckboy (Puckboys #6) by Eden Finley & Saxon James Release Date: April 18, 2024 About Bromantic Puckboy Bilson The idea of moving away from Seattle was a joke at first. I have too many failed relationships here. Too much baggage. So when I find myself signing with Nashville and leaving everything behind, I’m hopeful a new start will cure me of my attachment problems. I fall fast and hard, and I’m quickly realizing it’s not so easy to escape my emotional damage. That follows no matter where I go. When my new teammate, rookie goalie Miles Olsen, attaches himself to my side, the media are excited to exploit our bromance. Little do they know, he’s doing me a favor by keeping me away from making mistakes with women. That’s the deal we made at the beginning of the season, but as time goes on, and we’re both going through a dry spell, Miles suggests a different arrangement. One I’ve never contemplated. One I shouldn’t consider. One I can’t stop thinking about.
