She’s his rival’s sister—and completely off limits.\n\n***\n\nScarlett DuBois is a former prima ballerina whose career was cut short by a tragic accident.\n\nNow a teacher at a prestigious dance academy but still haunted by the ghosts of her past, the last thing she wants is to spend the summer cross-training Asher Donovan, of all people .\n\nShe swore she would never date a footballer, but when her brother leaves town for an emergency, she finds herself thrown into dangerously close proximity with the gorgeous, charming striker.\n\nTraining, she can deal with. But falling in love?

My luck holds out for less than twenty-four hours, when I realize he’s a groomsman at the wedding I’m attending.\n\nWe end up having a drink and a good laugh about my panicked confessions, and when he invites me up to his room for some no-strings-attached fun, I say yes. After all, a headboard rattling one-night stand with a guy who knows how to put the puck in deep isn’t something a bookworm like me ever thought she’d experience.\n\nNeither are those two little pink lines.\n\nNow what’s crashing are all the plans Joe Lupo and I had for our lives–separately.\n\nAfter all, we’re totally wrong for each other.

(Yes, he saw me naked.)\nHe says he only breaks things, but I only see him fixing everything. Heck, his job is as a repair man.\nThis grumpy, angry god with lean muscles, silky dark hair, and ice blue eyes has taken himself out of the game. \nBut massage therapy is my job, and I’m ready to play.\n\nRachel Wells is ruining everything.\nShe walks into my workplace and argues with me, talks back, defends herself.\nShe gives me romance books to “improve my mood,” and insists on massage therapy to ease my pain.\nChronic pain isn’t my problem—she is, with her bright green eyes and sassy attitude.\nThen she tells me she’s never been kissed. (What’s wrong with the men in Birmingham?)\nThe more she tempts me, the more I feel my resolve weakening.\nShe wants to play, but I’m not going to break.\n\n(THE WAY WE PLAY is a small-town, grumpy-sunshine, sports romance with close proximity, enemies-to-lovers vibes, and a virgin FMC, and an over-protective alpha hero.

All she wants to do post-breakup is focus on herself. A simple task, but as a marketing manager for McAllister Racing, she spends every race weekend alongside the charismatic Formula 1 driver, Theo Walker. With his iceberg-melting smile and abs sharper than a cheese grater, he\'s a distraction she shouldn\'t entertain but can\'t seem to ignore.\n\nTheo has mastered two things in life: winning races and wooing women. But this season, both are being put to the test. His team\'s new owner is threatening his hard-earned seat, and the one woman he wants has placed him in the friend zone, despite the fact that their attraction is hotter than his car\'s engine.\n\nAs Josie embraces her independence and Theo struggles to cement his place within the racing world, they\'ll have to decide if they want to fuel the flames of their friendship or forever wonder what could have been.\n\nDrive Me Wild is a spicy Formula 1 romantic comedy with heart, heat, humor, and a guaranteed HEA. This is the second book in the Drive Me series and can be read as a standalone.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"15868349005192280534\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover410519_218242636').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover410519_218242636').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover410519_218242636').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover410519_218242636').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover410519_220146590"> <a href="/book/show/220146590-mr-heartbreaker"><img alt="Mr. Heartbreaker (The Nest, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1728152600l/220146590._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover410519_220146590'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/220146590-mr-heartbreaker?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Mr. Heartbreaker (The Nest, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/15810938.Piper_Rayne\">Piper Rayne<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.98 avg rating — 2,923 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer1546946622748178353\">I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates.\n\nTechnically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate.

In my defense, that last one was an accident.He came to my room instead with a bottle of scotch and a sad soul.My one night was not a stand, but more like a lie-in. As in, we snuggled and talked and not another thing happened.So, nothing surprises me more than seeing him again when he becomes the manager of the Chicago Anchors, my hometown pro-team, and our paths intersect once more. It’s here the story gets fuzzy, because Ross Davis, that sexy silver fox, has a proposal for me.Baseball players are notoriously superstitious, and Ross is somehow convinced I’m his good luck charm. One who brings him success by sleeping with him.Only sleeping.The problem with this arrangement begins when those funny, fuzzy things called feelings get involved. Eventually, his elevator pitch is no longer an easy walk in the ballpark or a simple sleepover in his bed. And I’m worried I’ll be the one left in the outfield when the season ends.+ + +From L.B. Dunbar comes an all-new sports romance with baseball at its heart and the sexy silver fox coaching staff as the focus of the fans.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"9608471542718203789\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover410519_214207078').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover410519_214207078').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover410519_214207078').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover410519_214207078').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover410519_217987466"> <a href="/book/show/217987466-finding-delaware"><img alt="Finding Delaware (State of Us #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1724695527l/217987466._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover410519_217987466'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/217987466-finding-delaware?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Finding Delaware (State of Us #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/51614852.Bree_Wiley\">Bree Wiley<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.33 avg rating — 1,754 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer4937789435274236185\">𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬, 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥...\n Taylor\nOnly two things matter to me in this shitty freestyle motocross and my best friend.They’re my only escape from my father’s fists, but one slip in junior high almost changed everything.

She’s not fond of her brother’s rival, his slick comments, or that know-it-all attitude. Not even the fluffy hair, dreamy eyes, or body of a college soccer player help.

I’m thinking about things I haven’t in a long time. He’s dredged years of buried torment to the surface.\n\nThe cure? Alderchuck. My poison is my cure. How poetic.\n\nAt least he can’t keep his hands off me and our burning hatred is mutual. The flavor’s gotta wear off at some point, and that’s when we’ll go our separate ways. Until then, I’ll come up with every way imaginable to wreck him from the inside out. Use him up till there’s nothing left.\n\nBut I’m nothing if not territorial and protective. My instincts decide that Casey Alderchuck is mine and they pull him closer. My damn heart’s a traitor, too, trying to break the locks I put around it to let him inside. But I can’t let it win. Loving people like I would love Casey means risking the fragile sanity I’ve worked so hard to preserve.\n\n\nBreakneck Hockey is a rivals-to-lovers story with some hurt-comfort, along with other vibes, like; I Can Hurt Him but You Can’t, Major Jealousy, Just Because I Say I Don’t Want Him, Doesn’t Mean You Can Have Him, Possessiveness Galore, a Morally Gray MC and, as always in this series, Found Family.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"3128707644347483182\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover410519_210441779').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover410519_210441779').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover410519_210441779').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover410519_210441779').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover410519_217479185"> <a href="/book/show/217479185-crossed-sticks"><img alt="Crossed Sticks (Buffalo Warriors Hockey #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1726514421l/217479185._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover410519_217479185'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/217479185-crossed-sticks?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Crossed Sticks (Buffalo Warriors Hockey #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/18708062.Ryan_Taylor\">Ryan Taylor<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.13 avg rating — 369 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer8748807527895675774\">Two scarred souls finding love when they least expect it.\n\nHarper\n\nI wasn’t a keeper.\n\nGuys just didn’t pick me, and after one too many threw me away, my heart couldn’t take it anymore.\n\nWhen I was traded to the Buffalo Warriors, I knew things wouldn’t be any different.\n\nSkate.

The Nøkk and the Jock is book one, starring an emo shapeshifter and a sunshine human. Each book is a stand-alone M/M spooky romance, but we hope you enroll in them all.\n\n\n\nI’m pumped to be one of the first humans to attend a monster university, but a minor, negligible, insignificant issue arises almost My new roommate wants to drag me to his underground realm and take my soul.\n\nHe’s a nøkk who could almost pass for human, except his webbed fingers and entirely black eyes give him away. In my attempt to befriend him, I give him three drops of my blood, a black animal, and a bottle of vodka (I hear it’s a nøkk thing). Which apparently triggers some ancient bonding ritual. My bad.\n\nI must admit I’m into him. Maybe those online tests that say I’m only mostly straight are right. But there are a few I can’t know his real name. He won’t show me his true form. And he’s both an omen and a cause of drowning … which is troubling, since he’s on the water polo team with me.\n\nStill, something about him calls to me, even if it shouldn’t.\n\nThe Nø\n\nThis human is mine.\n\nStay away from him.\n\nThe Nøkk and the Jock is a monster-human bi-awakening M/M romance starring Brandon Fernandez, a golden retriever of a human being, and the prickly, melancholy nøkk. It features puzzling emoji text conversations, a monster who can stop waterfalls in midair, and drunken scareoke (monster karaoke).

RIDING TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE!\n\nMy life is one big caution sign. Ever since my best friend’s all-grown-up son joined our shared home, I’ve been navigating a growing attraction to the injured motocross rider. Declan unleashes every protective and caretaking impulse I have, and I genuinely love spending time with the guy.\n\nBut Declan’s too young, too straight, and too temporary to risk a twenty-year friendship over. At least until he kisses me, and I tumble past forbidden attraction into a doomed secret fling. \n\nWhat starts as exploration for Declan quickly transforms into an undeniable bond. He’s exactly what I’ve been searching for: a ride-or-die partner in crime who is happy making blanket forts, talking late into the night, and shares my love of cozy books and movies. What could be more perfect?\n\nWhen Declan faces a crucial choice, both our hearts are on the line. Can we avoid falling over the edge into heartbreak?\n\nON THE EDGE is book three of the Mount Hope first responder series and features an emergency room nurse practitioner who is hopelessly soft for his best friend’s son. This dad’s best friend, hurt/comfort (heavy on the comfort), age gap romance contains small town feels, big emotional growth, and sizzling romance.

Now, we’re living in his house, eating his incredible, chef-worthy meals, and it’s not just my son who’s falling.\n\nIt’s me.\n\nBecause when Cope touches me, I lose all sense. I’m no longer thinking about staying safe, I’m thinking about how my skin ignites with every glance, how I come undone with the barest brush of his fingertips, and when we give into temptation…I’m lost.\n\nBut Cope has secrets and so do I. And when the forces from our pasts emerge from the shadows, there’s nothing they won’t do to end our happiness once and for all…<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"14567274820465626160\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover115087_212469861').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover115087_212469861').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover115087_212469861').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover115087_212469861').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover115087_207293948"> <a href="/book/show/207293948-nothing-like-the-movies"><img alt="Nothing Like the Movies (Better Than the Movies, #2)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1707242121l/207293948.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover115087_207293948'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/207293948-nothing-like-the-movies?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Nothing Like the Movies (Better Than the Movies, #2)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/19322026.Lynn_Painter\">Lynn Painter<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.02 avg rating — 47,175 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer1006118120420585791\">For a few beautiful months, Wes had his dream girl: the strong-willed girl next door Liz.

That is, until she begrudgingly agrees to play in one last charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious "Kingkiller" Nolan Sawyer: current world champion and reigning bad boy of chess.\n\nNolan\'s loss to an unknown rook-ie shocks everyone—especially Mallory. What\'s even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again. What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away. Resign. Game over. But Mallory\'s victory opens the door to sorely needed cash prizes and, despite everything, she can\'t help feeling drawn to the enigmatic strategist....\n\nAs she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. And as her love for the sport she so desperately wanted to hate begins to rekindle, Mallory quickly realizes that the games aren\'t only on the board, the spotlight is hotter than she imagined, and the competition can be fierce(-ly attractive.

Plagued by self-loathing, and furious with the world, he grapples with teenage life, his unwavering sense of duty to his family, while balancing precariously close to a life of addiction that threatens to swallow him whole. The only light in his sea of darkness is his boss’s firecracker of a daughter who refuses to back down. A girl who just so happens to be his classmate.\n\nAoife Molloy has never been backwards in coming forward. Her bubbly and self-assured nature has never led her astray. Until her first day of secondary school when she collides with a hotheaded boy who sparks a burning curiosity inside of her that only grows stronger by the day.\n\nFalling into a complicated friendship with her father’s apprentice, Aoife works to unravels the secrets around Joey Lynch’s life, while he desperately fights to keep her out.\n\nFriendship, devotion, and first love all come together in Saving 6, the first of two books for Aoife and Joey.\n\nBased in Ireland, the Boys of Tommen series is bound to captivate and lure you into the world of rugby, hurling, love, and teenage heartbreak.\n\n* Warning *\n\nSome scenes in this book may be extremely upsetting for some readers.

No matter how bad he plays, the beautiful, sunny redhead is always on the sidelines. He curses, she cheers. He scowls, she smiles. But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory and his fangirl finally goes home, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life.\n\nJosephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous, grumpy golfer, even when he didn’t believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy, help him turn his game around, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine’s professional and personal life is in shambles, she could really use the cash…\n\nAs they travel together, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms, sparks fly. Before long, they’re inseparable, Wells starts winning again, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff, growly exterior. This hot man wants to brush her hair, feed her snacks, and take bubble baths together? Is this real life? But Wells is technically her boss and an athlete falling for his fangirl would be ridiculous… right?<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"15986627416125324662\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover115087_150343880').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover115087_150343880').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover115087_150343880').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover115087_150343880').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover115087_196219692"> <a href="/book/show/196219692-taming-7"><img alt="Taming 7 (Boys of Tommen, #5)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1692404529l/196219692._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover115087_196219692'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/196219692-taming-7?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Taming 7 (Boys of Tommen, #5)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/7858234.Chloe_Walsh\">Chloe Walsh<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.26 avg rating — 56,096 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer729090970316310110\">Taming 7 is an epic and unforgettable love story in the international bestselling and TikTok-phenomenon The Boys of Tommen series, from Chloe Walsh.\n\nShe's the quintessential sunshine girl.

A year ago, I was a man with one thought on his mind, the redhead I met at a hotel bar. Twelve months later, I found her. \n\nUnfortunately for me, she not only happens to be my very off-limits coach\'s daughter, but also . . . my new assistant and roommate. \n\nI don\'t even need an assistant, but Coach Wood doesn’t take no for an answer. Add in him writing up tasks for his daughter, Wylie, to complete for me? Well, it\'s his own form of sweet torture. We are talking tasks that I would never ask her to do. \n\nTasks that make her despise me. \n\nHate me. \n\nThat make her utter four words that cause a shiver to crawl up my spine . . . Posey, this is war. \n\n\n A coach’s daughter, workplace, forbidden standalone sports romance featuring the hockey men you can’t get enough of. This steamy, roommates-to-lovers romantic comedy will bring all the laughs while burning up the pages at the same time.\n<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"8227511990491084066\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover115087_205699517').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover115087_205699517').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover115087_205699517').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover115087_205699517').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover115087_101144869"> <a href="/book/show/101144869-the-long-game"><img alt="The Long Game (Green Oak, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1687105546l/101144869.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover115087_101144869'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/101144869-the-long-game?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Long Game (Green Oak, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/20669618.Elena_Armas\">Elena Armas<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.58 avg rating — 78,072 ratings<\/span> — published 2023\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer10091348740362361557\">A disgraced soccer exec reluctantly enlists the help of a retired soccer star in coaching a children’s team in this smalltown love story in the vein of Ted Lasso and It Happened One Summer —from the New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception.\n\nAdalyn Reyes has spent years perfec<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText10091348740362361557\" style=\"display:none\">A disgraced soccer exec reluctantly enlists the help of a retired soccer star in coaching a children’s team in this smalltown love story in the vein of Ted Lasso and It Happened One Summer —from the New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception.\n\nAdalyn Reyes has spent years perfecting her daily routine: wake up at dawn, drive to the Miami Flames FC offices, try her hardest to leave a mark, go home, and repeat.\n\nBut her routine is disrupted when a video of her in an altercation with the team’s mascot goes viral. Rather than fire her, the team’s owner—who happens to be her father—sends Adalyn to middle-of-nowhere North Carolina, where she’s tasked with turning around the struggling local soccer team, the Green Warriors, as a way to redeem herself. Her plans crumble upon discovering that the players wear tutus to practice (impractical), keep pet goats (messy), and are terrified of Adalyn (counterproductive), and are nine-year-old kids.\n\nTo make things worse, also in town is Cameron Caldani, goalkeeping prodigy whose presence is somewhat of a mystery. Cam is the perfect candidate to help Adalyn, but after one very unfortunate first encounter involving a rooster, Cam’s leg, and Adalyn’s bumper, he’s also set on running her out of town. But banishment is not an option for Adalyn. Not again. Helping this ragtag children’s team is her road to redemption, and she is playing the long game. With or without Cam’s help.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"10091348740362361557\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover115087_101144869').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover115087_101144869').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover115087_101144869').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover115087_101144869').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover115087_45891343"> <a href="/book/show/45891343-the-upside-of-falling"><img alt="The Upside of Falling" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1561400542l/45891343.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover115087_45891343'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45891343-the-upside-of-falling?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Upside of Falling<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/18005844.Alex_Light\">Alex Light<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.60 avg rating — 114,679 ratings<\/span> — published 2020\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer16918058148827122322\">A fun, flirty teen debut from Wattpad phenom Alex Light about a fake relationship and real love.

Perfect for Jenny Han fans.\n\nIt’s been years since seventeen-year-old Becca Hart believed in true love. But when her former best friend teases her for not having had a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone.\n\nBrett Wells has it all. As captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in his school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom.\n\nWhen he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be the mystery guy. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not having a meaningful relationship and she can keep up the ruse that she’s got a boyfriend.\n\nActing like the perfect couple isn’t easy, though, especially when you barely know the other person. But with Becca still picking up the pieces from when her world was blown apart years ago and Brett just barely holding his together now, they begin to realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined.\n\nWhen the line between what is pretend and what is real begins to blur, they\'re forced to answer the question: Is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives?<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"16918058148827122322\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: {

Conventional wisdom long held that big name, highly athletic hitters and young pitchers with rocket arms were the ticket to success. But Beane and his staff, buoyed by massive amounts of carefully interpreted statistical data, believed that wins could be had by more affordable methods such as hitters with high on-base percentage and pitchers who get lots of ground outs. Given this information and a tight budget, Beane defied tradition and his own scouting department to build winning teams of young affordable players and inexpensive castoff veterans. Lewis was in the room with the A\'s top management as they spent the summer of 2002 adding and subtracting players and he provides outstanding play-by-play. In the June player draft, Beane acquired nearly every prospect he coveted (few of whom were coveted by other teams) and at the July trading deadline he engaged in a tense battle of nerves to acquire a lefty reliever. Besides being one of the most insider accounts ever written about baseball, Moneyball is populated with fascinating characters. We meet Jeremy Brown, an overweight college catcher who most teams project to be a 15th round draft pick (Beane takes him in the first). Sidearm pitcher Chad Bradford is plucked from the White Sox triple-A club to be a key set-up man and catcher Scott Hatteberg is rebuilt as a first baseman. But the most interesting character is Beane himself. A speedy athletic can\'t-miss prospect who somehow missed, Beane reinvents himself as a front-office guru, relying on players completely unlike, say, Billy Beane. Lewis, one of the top nonfiction writers of his era (Liar\'s Poker, The New New Thing), offers highly accessible explanations of baseball stats and his roadmap of Beane\'s economic approach makes Moneyball an appealing reading experience for business people and sports fans alike. --John Moe<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"666479014367176879\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover194407_1301').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover194407_1301').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover194407_1301').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover194407_1301').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover194407_45756920"> <a href="/book/show/45756920-the-mistake"><img alt="The Mistake (Off-Campus, #2)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1557835772l/45756920._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover194407_45756920'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45756920-the-mistake?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Mistake (Off-Campus, #2)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/1935000.Elle_Kennedy\">Elle Kennedy<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.99 avg rating — 451,607 ratings<\/span> — published 2015\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer8558632876469556001\">Get ready for another binge-worthy romance from international bestselling author and TikTok sensation Elle Kennedy.

He\'s a player in more ways than one… College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he\'ll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he\'s worth a second chance. Now he\'s going to need to up his game… After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She\'s not a charity case, and she\'s not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He\'ll have to work for it. This time around, she\'ll be the one in the driver\'s seat…and she plans on driving him wild.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"8558632876469556001\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover194407_45756920').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover194407_45756920').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover194407_45756920').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover194407_45756920').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover194407_61767292"> <a href="/book/show/61767292-icebreaker"><img alt="Icebreaker (UCMH, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1659045816l/61767292._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover194407_61767292'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61767292-icebreaker?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Icebreaker (UCMH, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/22954957.Hannah_Grace\">Hannah Grace<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.81 avg rating — 982,651 ratings<\/span> — published 2022\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer6451205411741844913\">Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA.

So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.\nRyan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.\nJamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions—can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend...and a big one to learn about himself.\nWarning: contains sexual situations, hotties on hockey skates, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"3036729327701567817\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover194407_59754566').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover194407_59754566').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover194407_59754566').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover194407_59754566').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover194407_24504274"> <a href="/book/show/24504274-pucked"><img alt="Pucked (Pucked, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1429896314l/24504274.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover194407_24504274'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24504274-pucked?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Pucked (Pucked, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/7226675.Helena_Hunting\">Helena Hunting<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.88 avg rating — 79,763 ratings<\/span> — published 2015\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer10276071547200126133\">With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star.

So of course she isn\'t interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet\'s misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match. Suffering from a complete lapse in judgment, Violet discovers just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants.\n\nViolet believes her night of orgasmic magic with Alex is just that: one night. But Alex starts to call. And text. And email and send extravagant - and quirky - gifts. Suddenly he\'s too difficult to ignore and nearly impossible not to like. The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn\'t want to be part of the game.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"10276071547200126133\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover194407_24504274').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover194407_24504274').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover194407_24504274').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover194407_24504274').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover194407_32315591"> <a href="/book/show/32315591-the-goal"><img alt="The Goal (Off-Campus, #4)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1475180973l/32315591._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover194407_32315591'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32315591-the-goal?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Goal (Off-Campus, #4)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/1935000.Elle_Kennedy\">Elle Kennedy<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.90 avg rating — 277,171 ratings<\/span> — published 2016\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer5539232463089762041\">Alternate cover edition for 9781533344342\n\nShe’s good at achieving her goals…\n\nCollege senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm.

Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.\n\nBut the game just got a whole lot more complicated\n\nTucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he’s fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina’s heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he’ll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"5539232463089762041\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover194407_32315591').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover194407_32315591').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover194407_32315591').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover194407_32315591').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover194407_16158542"> <a href="/book/show/16158542-the-boys-in-the-boat"><img alt="The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1354683116l/16158542.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover194407_16158542'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16158542-the-boys-in-the-boat?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/486329.Daniel_James_Brown\">Daniel James Brown<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.39 avg rating — 336,442 ratings<\/span> — published 2013\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer17135442776860410165\">For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what <\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText17135442776860410165\" style=\"display:none\">For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.\n\nIt was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"17135442776860410165\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover194407_16158542').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover194407_16158542').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover194407_16158542').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover194407_16158542').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover194407_6289283"> <a href="/book/show/6289283-born-to-run"><img alt="Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1631519495l/6289283._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover194407_6289283'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6289283-born-to-run?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/133538.Christopher_McDougall\">Christopher McDougall<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.31 avg rating — 221,013 ratings<\/span> — published 2009\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer1089019715864317353\">Full of incredible characters, amazing athletic achievements, cutting-edge science, and, most of all, pure inspiration, Born to Run is an epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt?

In search of an answer, Christopher McDougall sets off to find a tribe of the world’s greatest distance runners and learn their secrets, and in the process shows us that everything we thought we knew about running is wrong.\n\nIsolated by the most savage terrain in North America, the reclusive Tarahumara Indians of Mexico’s deadly Copper Canyons are custodians of a lost art. For centuries they have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest and chase down anything from a deer to an Olympic marathoner while enjoying every mile of it. Their superhuman talent is matched by uncanny health and serenity, leaving the Tarahumara immune to the diseases and strife that plague modern existence. With the help of Caballo Blanco, a mysterious loner who lives among the tribe, the author was able not only to uncover the secrets of the Tarahumara but also to find his own inner ultra-athlete, as he trained for the challenge of a lifetime: a fifty-mile race through the heart of Tarahumara country pitting the tribe against an odd band of Americans, including a star ultramarathoner, a beautiful young surfer, and a barefoot wonder.\n\nWith a sharp wit and wild exuberance, McDougall takes us from the high-tech science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultrarunners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to the climactic race in the Copper Canyons. Born to Run is that rare book that will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that the secret to happiness is right at your feet, and that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"1089019715864317353\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover194407_6289283').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover194407_6289283').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover194407_6289283').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover194407_6289283').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover194407_60909831"> <a href="/book/show/60909831-mile-high"><img alt="Mile High (Windy City, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1651354353l/60909831._SX318_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover194407_60909831'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60909831-mile-high?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Mile High (Windy City, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/21779701.Liz_Tomforde\">Liz Tomforde<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.08 avg rating — 300,396 ratings<\/span> — published 2022\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer7288389133152415285\">ZANDERS\n\nChicago hockey isn't complete without me - everyone's favourite player to hate.

I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night.\n\nWhat I don\'t like is the new flight attendant on our team\'s private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I\'ll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she\'ll be begging to quit her job.\n\nBut every road trip blurs the lines, and I can\'t quite figure out if I keep pushing that flight attendant call button in order to push her buttons, or if it\'s more than that.\n\nSTEVIE\n\nI\'ve been a flight attendant for years. I thought I\'d seen it all, but when my new job lands me onboard working for the most egotistical and self-righteous diva in the NHL, I start to second guess everything. Including the promise I made to myself of never hooking up with an athlete again . . . no matter how annoyingly tempting he may be.\n\nEvan Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it.\n\nEverything but him.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"7288389133152415285\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover194407_60909831').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover194407_60909831').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover194407_60909831').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover194407_60909831').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover194407_84943172"> <a href="/book/show/84943172-the-right-move"><img alt="The Right Move (Windy City, #2)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1674590603l/84943172._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover194407_84943172'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84943172-the-right-move?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Right Move (Windy City, #2)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/21779701.Liz_Tomforde\">Liz Tomforde<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.41 avg rating — 267,084 ratings<\/span> — published 2023\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer12427699827146815852\">RYAN\n\nShe’s a distraction, that’s what she is. \n\nI’m the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago’s NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister’s best friend, to move into my apartment.

She’s messy, emotional, and way too tempting.\n\nBut when the team’s General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can’t think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. \n\nThe only problem? Faking it feels far too natural. \n\nHaving a fake girlfriend wasn’t supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her. \n\n\nINDY\n\nI never imagined I’d be living with my best friend’s brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who’s suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy.\n\nBecause, well…he’s not. He’s controlling of his space and untrusting of others. \n\nOur arrangement isn’t one-sided, though. I’m in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there’s no better date than my ex’s celebrity hero. \n\nBlurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn’t believe in love. \n\nI’m a romantic and can’t help fantasizing that he’ll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend’s brother was the right move after all<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"12427699827146815852\" href=\"#\"
