Since being drafted by the NHL to play for his home team at age nineteen, Derek Backhard has had everything he's ever dreamed of - unrivaled MVP mentions, countless goals and assists, even being compared to the great one. Holding the power to control his future in the palm of his hands, nothing stood in his way.
Until the unthinkable happened, and everything about his life shifted. Past priorities fell away the moment he held baby Ryder in his arms mere moments after losing his close friend, and Ryder's father, Brad.
After weeks of watching Liz fall apart over the loss of her husband as she struggled to adjust to life as a single parent, Derek vows to give her and Ryder everything they deserve, creating a life he never knew he always wanted.
Rocked to her core by her changing feelings for him, Liz doesn’t know what to do with Derek or his offer. Uncertainty swirls within her as she leans on her lifelong friend during the hard times, but how much of his attention is real, and how much is pity?
Is she strong enough to let him in and let him take care of her, or will she force him away and back into the life she thinks he really wants?

Intense. Devoted. Protective.
Michael Sloan is all of the above, with a hard tough edge to boot. He's not the guy he used to be. Years ago, before all the s&%t went down, he was laidback, carefree, and even happy-go-lucky.
Life changed him. Hardened him.
There's one woman though who can break down his walls. Someone who knew him then. Who can reach inside to that heart he protects fiercely...because she's the only one he ever gave it to.

He's determined not to lose her again, but he'll have to learn to let her in if he ever wants to fully heal from the past...

YET.
Sinful Love is the fourth and final book in the steamy, sexy, suspenseful New York Times Bestselling Sinful Nights series from Lauren Blakely, author of the wildly popular Seductive Nights series...
He’d never kissed like this before. Fierce and greedy. Needy and dreamy.
He wanted to live in this kiss.
At some point, he broke the contact, because he had to. Because another second of her kisses would be too much. He brushed her hair away from her ear. “You keep doing that, and we’re going to be putting on a show.”
She grinned naughtily. “I think we already did,” she said, glancing clandestinely over her shoulder. Some of the other passengers seemed particularly engrossed in their screens and books, as if the sight of the two of them devouring each other had been too much to bear.
“Tell me something,” he whispered, “how do you say ‘I want you so much’?”
“In French?”
He nodded.
“Je te veux tellement.”
He repeated it close to her ear, flicking the tip of his tongue over her earlobe as he said those words to her.
She shivered visibly. “Mon dieu. I love the way you say that.”
“But see, Annalise,” he said, running his index finger across her top lip, “I love the way you say it. I want to make you feel that way.”
“You do,” she whispered, her accent thickening, and he knew she was heading down the same path he was already on.
He slid into another question. “How do you say ‘fuck me harder’?”
She shivered and answered, “Baise-moi plus fort.”
And don’t miss the first three titles in the Sinful Nights Series
Michael Sloan, the oldest of the Sloan siblings, is coming face to face with the one woman that got away. Repressed feelings will be brought front and center, but will the memories live up to the present?
Annalise Delacroix is back in Vegas for a few days and looking up her one time love is high on her priority list. Single for the past two years, is her heart ready to find love again or will her broken heart always stand in the way.
Life, time, and distance got in the way so many years ago. Can young love be ignited again into something more this time around? Or has too many years passed to rekindle the flame?

Lauren really knocked this series out of the park and this book is no exception. It's a heart pounding story that will rock you to your core. You'll laugh, cry, and fall head over heals in love with Michael Sloan. The passion that flows between Michael and Annalise radiates off the pages right through to the reader. There are several times I had to stop reading just to cool down my ereader and take a long cold shower. My heart breaks and then made whole right along with Michael.
The investigation will have you reeling when everything finally comes to light. Just when you think you know what will happen, be prepared to be left breathless.
The way Lauren concludes this series is tremendous and sinfully exquisite. This just might be my favorite Lauren Blakely series so far!

When M. S. isn't writing, she can usually be found reading- oops, scratch that! She is always writing.
Sasha is perfectly content with her single status.
That is until Matt Wendell walks into her life. He’s the best friend of her
cousin, Alec, and the last guy she should get involved with. She’s learned that
hearts are too easily broken, and Matt is known for his lack of commitment.
Alec introduces the two under the
strict instructions that Matt is to learn how to become friends with a woman.
This task proves difficult, as Matt turns out to be charming, interesting, and
everything Sasha could ever want in a boyfriend. Alec’s instructions get harder
with each passing day, yet Sasha isn’t blind to Matt’s past.
Is she willing to give her heart over
to a self-proclaimed player? Can this non-committal hockey stud change his
ways? Or will he end up breaking her heart?
Football. The imbecile didn’t even
realize it was the soccer field. The football team practiced halfway across
campus. “Something like that,” she said with amusement, longing to see his
reaction to her plans. Stepping back from the trunk, she turned to fully face
him. Her eyes roved over his face for a moment before she closed the small
distance between them. She slipped her arms around his waist and leaned in
against his chest. She amped up her flirting to the next level, wanting him to
let his guard down completely. “Before we get started … kiss me. I want to know
what your lips feel like against mine. I want to know what you taste like.”
Without any hesitation, he lowered
his lips over hers.
And that was when Sasha pulled back
with a snort. “Alec was right. You have absolutely no idea what it’s like being
friends with a girl. You went into this with the instruction of ‘friends only’.
Yet you’re trying to kiss me ten minutes in.” Shaking her head, she grabbed the
edges of her sundress and pulled it up over her head. Underneath, she wore a
sports bra and a pair of bike shorts. From the trunk, she produced a pair of
knee-high socks and cleats.
Matt took a step back, looking
thoroughly stunned.
She turned her back on him, reaching
into her trunk for her soccer ball as she hid her smile. It really was a shame:
Matt was a charismatic guy, and he was so darn good-looking. He was into
sports, same as her, and they shared a close confidant in Alec. If she could
just get him to break down his walls and drop his act, there was a possibility
they truly could be friends. His adaption to the change in plans now would tell
her just how likely that outcome could be.
She roughly tossed the ball in his
direction, and he barely managed to catch it. Apparently, he was still working
through confusion and surprise at her abrupt change of attitude. She would just
need to help him along to a more modern way of thinking. “You know, the
majority of us don’t discuss lip gloss,” Sasha said with a snicker, referring
to a tidbit Alec had shared of Matt’s skewed views on women. “If you’d ever
bothered to hold a real conversation with a girl, you’d know that.” She bent at
the waist and threw her hair down toward the ground. Gathering it in one hand,
she bundled it all together in a high ponytail atop her head.
Flipping back up to face him, she
placed her hands on her hips. “Game on, Matty. Time to learn what it’s like to
actually hang out with a girl.” Ticking items off on her fingers, she made a
list of all the things they wouldn’t be doing. “No candlelight dinners. No
kissing. No eyelash batting. No flirting. I’m going to kick your ass out on
that field, and make you question everything you know about women.”
