Cannon: A Pittsburgh Titans Novel
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: February 28, 2023
Cannon West left his hockey playing days behind to care for his dying wife but has since found success on the other side of the bench. Now, as the youngest head coach in league history, he’s hoping to lead the Pittsburgh Titans to a winning season. The last thing he’s looking for is a relationship, but life sometimes takes us in another direction.
The Pittsburgh Titans are still working to move on from the tragic plane crash that forever changed the landscape of their organization.
Having lost my wife, I know all about grief and the guilt of survival which makes me uniquely equipped to take this team to the next level. From the very first time I stepped inside the Titans’ arena, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be.
New to town, I’m still establishing my routine, but I have the most important aspect under control—the coffee shop where I stop on my way to the arena every morning. A strong cup of java and the gorgeous manager who I can’t help but chat up is quickly becoming my favorite way to start the day. But no matter how much I enjoy the blush that stains Ava Cavanaugh’s cheeks with my admittedly awkward attempt at flirting, I know it will never be more than brazen banter with a new friend.
My job consumes almost all my time, and I know firsthand what that level of commitment can do to a relationship.
That doesn’t mean I’m not open to some fun. My career comes first, but Ava understands my boundaries.
The only problem is that once I give into her temptation, the rules I set for myself become blurred, and my mixed signals hurt Ava—the one thing I promised I wouldn’t do. I’ve put myself in what seems to be an untenable situation, but I’ve faced those before.
Now I need to find the strength to move past my fears, or risk losing my second chance at love with the woman who has stolen my heart.

This is the sixth book in the series. This one gives us all the goods on the new head coach of the Titans--Cannon. He has come out of a tragic past and thinks he has his heart p retty guarded. When he decides to take a leap with the pretty barista Ava, he fumbles outside his comfort zone. Cannon believes he has that heart locked down.
Ava knows the score to start with. Just having fun. But the more they are together, she sees the possibility for more. It takes Cannon a while to get himself sorted. In the end, love prevails.
Great chemistry between these two. Even when they are keeping it "no strings" they seem to have a deeper connection. Easy to talk and laugh with each other.
Great addition to the series. So glad we got to see Canon's POV on the team and the leadership. Can't wait to read more in this series!

Title: At First Meet Series: Montgomery Ink Legacy #2
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 27, 2023
BLURB
NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues the Montgomery Ink Legacy series with an emotional, friends-to-lovers romance where second chances begin with a promise.
I fell in love with the wrong man and learned the hard way to ask for help.
I don’t plan on falling again and have no intention of trying.
But when I get invited to a high-powered CEO retreat, I know I can’t say no.
And I can’t go alone.
When my frenemy, Nick, invites himself as my escort, I should walk away.
But there’s no stopping the connection we’ve both ignored for far too long.
Only Nick’s past is far darker than he lets the world know, and the shell he encased himself in is stronger than my own. And when the pain from my past comes back with a force, I’m afraid that walking away will be the only choice—even if it breaks us both.
I love next gen series. This one is just perfect. you can pick this up and read it without the back story but I know you will love the Montgomerys so why not start at the beginning.
This is a frenemies to lovers story. Lake and Nick have known each other for years. They are in business together, Nick's best friend is Lake's cousin Leif, and Nick has been hanging with the Montgomerys most of his life. As much as they bicker back and forth, they really do care for each other.
All it takes is one night when emotions are high and inhibitions are down and their true feelings come pouring out. Both of them have baggage, but together, they are willing to work for they relationship.
Loved seeing the whole set of friends and cousins again. Great last chapter setting up the next book. Can't wait for more!

My sister’s best friend has always taken my breath away…
Declan Tennyson
At twenty-two most guys my age are living it up. Swiping left and right, trying to find what’s good for the night, instead of what’s good for life.
Me? I have one of the best examples to follow. Trick and Hadley Tennyson are still in love twenty-plus-years on, and dad is looking to slow down.
Which means I have a decision to make.
Take the shop, or make my own way.
I thought I had it all worked out, until a single-mom with brunette hair, blue eyes, and the cutest son ever needed my help on a freezing, snowy night.
Claudia Wilson
Declan Tennyson was always cute and annoying. My best friend’s little brother could always be counted on to be underfoot, or secretly listening to our girl talk.
But the last three years?
He grew into a man without me noticing.
Being a single-mom is harder than I ever expected it to be, and I haven’t had time to notice anything.
Not until the night Declan saved us in the snow, and if I’m not careful, he’s gonna end up saving me from myself.

Only You by Samantha Young is now live!
Once upon a time, Monroe Sinclair was Brodan Adair's best friend, but now he's a stranger and one of Hollywood's leading men...
It took Monroe Sinclair eighteen years to return home to Ardnoch after a fateful night that devastated her friendship with Brodan Adair. She fled her unrequited love for him, as well as her difficult family life, and tried not to look behind her. Only a daughter's guilt could lure her back to the Highlands and the assumption that Brodan Adair rarely ever sets foot in their hometown. She can handle seeing the rest of the Adairs so long as she can avoid her ex-best friend and the only man she's ever loved.
Nothing is more important to Brodan than family, and only his demons have the power to keep him from them. For years, acting was something he was lucky enough to be good at, yet it wasn't his priority—Ardnoch and his siblings were. But when a ghost from his past returned out of the blue, Brodan tried to outrun its haunting, taking him further and further from home. When exhaustion finally forces him back to the family fold, the last thing he wants is to encounter another ghost. But that's exactly what Monroe Sinclair has been to him. When a promise to his nephew obliges Brodan to work with Monroe, it forces them to face their past. The explosive connection that has always existed between them resurrects truths long buried. Yet, just when they might be on the brink of a second chance, the ghost from Brodan's past finally catches up to him and threatens not just their happiness, but their very
lives.

What an epic finale to this sibling series. We finally get to see Brodan Adair and watch him come back to himself after being away for so long. He is recuperating at his family estate and he never would have guessed, the reason he fled, the reason his heart stays forever broken, just happened to move back home as well.
This second chance romance has been years in the making. Lots of water under the bridge and major misunderstandings going on. Brodan is down right nasty for the first 1/3 of the book. I felt so badly for Monroe. Nothing in her life ever went in her favor.
I loved that family can make us whole. Whether that is by blood or by choice, we are better people because of those who give us love. For Brodan, it took time but his heart and mind finally snapped out of the funk it was in. And then the wooing begins!
Loved seeing all the couples. Loved the kiddos for sure. Loved that Monroe got her own girl pack to support her. So sad to step away from this family. Ahhh.... but there is a spin off coming. The little nuggets that get dropped in this book tell me it will be worth diving into the next books coming.
Enjoyed the whole series!

I'd barely been keeping my indie book store going even before the big national chain opened right next door, but I couldn't deny the truth any longer: the end was here.
Devastated, I took my staff out for lunch at a fancy restaurant to break the news. I didn't realize anyone else overheard, but the devil has sharp ears.
Callum McCord walked into my store the next day and offered me an enormous sum of money to save my business. But his help comes with a price.
Marriage.
He said he needs a wife in name only to fulfill a condition of his late father's will. He said I can have anything I want, including separate bedrooms. He said it's the perfect arrangement for us both.
What he didn't say is that though he acts like a gentleman, he's anything but.
Or that having separate bedrooms isn't the only thing he's lying about.
