Release Blitz: THE LAST GUY ON EARTH by Sarina Bowen


Cover Design: Elle Maxwell

 One cold December day, two men are blindsided by a hockey trade; one is the most decorated goalie in the league, while the other one is the youngest coach in the majors.

Jethro Hale is the last player Coach Clay Powers wants to see on his roster, but the G.M. pulls a fast one. And it's not like he can even explain why. Nobody knows about their love affair fifteen years ago.

Cue the all-star awkwardness, the painful memories and the reawakening of deep feelings on both sides.

Unfortunately, their attraction still burns brightly. But it can never be. A player and a coach? The scandal would overshadow the team’s banner year.

If only they could resist each other…

If you love grumpy heroes, high stakes hockey, struggling single parents and smoldering kisses, grab your copy of The Last Guy on Earth.

Teddy Hamilton and J.F. Harding do an outstanding job narrating *The Last Guy On Earth*. This captivating book is the third instalment in the Hockey Guy series and features a compelling second-chance romance between Jethro Hale, the most decorated goalie, and Clay Powers, his former teammate. 

 Their shared history adds depth to their story, and after being apart for 15 years, it’s clear that feelings linger between them. The slow-burn romance is beautifully crafted and narrated, creating an atmosphere rich with tension, longing, and undeniable heat. 

 I truly loved every aspect of this audiobook, and how Teddy Hamilton and J.F. Harding bring it to life is nothing short of perfection. I highly recommend it!

Release Blitz: Golden Touch by Sarina Bowen






 A brand new romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Sarina Bowen!


Livia

Once upon a time I spent an evening flirting with a handsome stranger in a bar. But before we could finish what we started, I lost my nerve and fled.

Months later, I’m minding my own business at work one morning when a stranger lets himself into the empty brewery. Panicked, I call 911, and the cops show up to slap on the handcuffs.

In my defense, I have very good reasons to be afraid. Also in my defense, I’d never met my boss’s son.

Or so I’d thought…

Nash

I don’t know what this chick has against me. First she ditches me, and now she wants to arrest me.

Livia is as frustrating as she is hot. But nobody else knows the brewery better than she does. Now we’re stuck together, sharing an office and a very small house as I run the brewery for six weeks for my cranky dad.

That’s just enough time to bring down her guard. Turns out we have a lot more in common than we thought, including a lot of smoking hot chemistry. Until Livia’s past catches up with her, and I finally figure out why she’s so jumpy. But I’ll stop at nothing to protect her, unless her ex finds her first…


Audiobook review….5 Stars. 
Livia and Nash's journey started months ago when they first met at a bar. Livia observed Nash at her workplace, and it turned out he worked there too! 
 "Golden Touch" is a thrilling, fast-paced story filled with tension and intense chemistry between Livia and Nash. 

 Livia is fleeing from her abusive boyfriend, and Nash is her protector while also working at his father's business alongside Livia. 

 Nash's charm is undeniable, and their attraction is absolutely electrifying! Samantha Brentmoor's narration and Tim Paige's performance were both outstanding.




Golden Touch is the second book in the Giltmaker series but was the first book I have read. Thankfully, each book can be read as a standalone.

Golden Touch is the story of Livia and Nash. Nash is the Giltmaker Brewery owner’s son who has been called home from Boston to help run things while his father recuperates in a rehab facility. What Nash wasn’t expecting was to get slapped with handcuffs right after arriving!

Livia is the bookkeeper for the Giltmaker Brewery. She’s feisty but is also a very private person. She has sworn off all men at this point after having a very troublesome history. She loves her job and wants to keep it all costs. So when someone “breaks” into the brewery one day she doesn’t hesitate to call 911. Only problem was she didn’t realise the person who “broke in” was the owner’s long lost son, Nash. 

Nash and Livia get to know each other over the course of a couple of months while sharing the bunk house on the Brewery premises. Nash starts picking up on a few things about Livia that has him questioning what exactly is happening with her. Things between them start to heat up and their connection only gets closer. 

I loved the characteristics of these characters. Livia is trying to live her life while also protecting herself at all costs. She doesn’t want a repeat of history and really doesn’t want her ex to find her. I love how protective Nash is, not only of his family’s brewery but also of Livia. 

I also loved the plot twists and the entire vibe of this book in general. It was amazing and I can’t wait to catch up with book 1 and also read the next book!

Cover Reveal: I’M YOUR GUY by SARINA BOWEN




RELEASE DATE: 

NOVEMBER 2ND, 2023

TOMMASO

The furniture district is my personal hell. I don’t know my ass from an ottoman. But when a hot designer comes to my rescue, I realize my problems are bigger than the house I’m trying to furnish.

A scorching kiss over fabric samples makes me question all my choices. But is it too late to change my entire life to get more of them?


CARTER

I need this gig, but my cocky new client leaves out a couple crucial details:
He doesn’t mention that he's a famous hockey player. And he doesn’t own up to the way he’s always trying to undress me with his dark, broody eyes.

The man throws out more mixed signals than a broken traffic light. I've never been more sexually frustrated in my entire life. I need to back away before I do something stupid, like lose my heart.

Oops. Too late.



Audio: Coming soon!

Release Blitz & Audio Review: THE NEW GUY by Sarina Bowen


 A new male / male hockey romance from 24-time USA Today bestseller Sarina Bowen!

My name is Hudson Newgate, but my teammates call me New Guy.

That was my nickname in Chicago, too. And Vancouver. That’s what happens when you keep getting traded. Brooklyn is my last chance, especially after my poor performance last season.

But I can make this work. The new guy knows to keep his head down and shoot the puck. The new guy puts the game first.

What he doesn’t do is hook up with the other new guy—a hot athletic trainer who lives in my building. Gavin needs this job with my team. He’s a single dad with responsibilities.

We can’t be a couple. My arrogant agent–who’s also my father–will lose his mind if I’m dating a dude. And my team needs me to score goals, not whip up a media circus.

Too bad Gavin and I are terrible at resisting each other…

I do not think my review will do this audiobook justice....where to start!

  

A male/male book written by Sarina Bowen is like gold! , add the narrators Teddy Hamilton and J.F. Harding I knew I would be in heaven... Heaven, it was all the way through!


An awesome standalone sports romance that dove straight into my heart and there it stays.

Hudson and Gavin’s chemistry is off the charts, and their longing for each other is written beautifully.


Together their sexuality is explosive, and their thoughtfulness and kindness are perfections!


Both carry difficult baggage.....


Gavin Gillis, the athletic trainer has a daughter Jordyn who loves to meddle! 


Hudson Newgate pro hockey player has been traded to the Brooklyn Bruisers the same team that Gavin is the trainer.

Awesomely written!


With narrators Teddy Hamilton and J.F. Harding, where can you go wrong?

With these men narrating the book came to life, where the characters became real, and I wished I was there! 

Their voices flowed marvellously, sensuality flowed from their lips …… 

A brilliant audiobook, I am re-listening as it’s perfect…

I felt very lucky to have received this arc - thank you.

Vi, Pen, Katee, Melanie, Jewel, Pippa & Sarina - Secret project announcement

 

It’s the season for gift giving!

Six FREE standalone holiday short stories!

 

Get Sleighed by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

When my ex dumped me right before Christmas, I was left with a luxury, all-expense paid trip for two to Cabo—private jet and all. Somehow, my best friend roped me into giving away the other half of the trip as a contest prize on her podcast.  Kelly won the “World’s Worst Dump Story.” She and I didn’t meet until we arrived at the airport, which was when I discovered she was actually a he. Apparently we’d forgotten to include open to women only in the rules. My trip to Cabo started as a disaster, but as time went on Kelly and I grew close. Until someone unexpectedly showed up…

 

Christmas in Birdville by Jewel E. Ann

Henry Bechtel’s mom is coming home for Christmas. Only, he lost the family house in a game of poker. Days before his mom’s arrival, he meets the new owner and seizes the opportunity to coerce her into letting him move back “home” for the holidays. What he doesn’t know is that she has questionable motives, too.

 

The Lucky One by Sarina Bowen

Finnish hockey player Ivo Halla is new in town. He can't speak the language, he can't understand the coach. Life is hell until he walks into an Italian cafe (thank God "pizza" is the same in Finnish and English) and falls for the waitress. He'd better learn the language soon, or she won't agree to date him... 

 

First Holiday by Katee Robert

After a year of turmoil, Hades and Persephone prepare for their first holiday together.

 

A Cloverleigh Farms Christmas by Melanie Harlow

Christmas Eve at Cloverleigh Farms is even more exciting this year, thanks to a blizzard, a power outage, and a baby that wants to make a dramatic entrance. Catch up with the beloved Sawyer family and find out what happens when Meg and Noah's bundle of joy gives the family a wonderful--and sudden--reason to celebrate!

 

Have Yourself a Grumpy Little Christmas by Pippa Grant

Trevor Stafford hates Christmas. But his best friend’s little sister, whom he stupidly agreed to take in as a temporary roommate when she got a new nannying gig down the street from him, loves it.

She’s turning his house into a freaking winter wonderland of bad memories.

But the bigger problem?

He’s had a crush on her for years, and there’s no amount of annoying holiday cheer that can cure him of his attraction. If anything, watching her in her natural element is making it worse.

What’s a grump to do when the last thing he ever wanted is suddenly the only thing he needs?

Release Blitz: SHENANIGANS by Sarina Bowen



Cover Design: Hang Le 
Cover Photo: Wander Aguiar Photography


What I meant to do in Vegas: Let my hair down for once and celebrate winning a medal at my first women’s hockey all-stars competition.

What I actually did: Got senior prom drunk and woke up married to Brooklyn’s star winger, the great Neil Drake. 

He’s the heir to a billion dollars, and I barely survived my childhood. Our friendship is based strictly only on hockey, takeout food, and smack talk. 

And now holy matrimony. Although we both know it can’t last, especially once his evil family gets wind of our Vegas shenanigans… 

Contains: Meddling teammates, meddling parents, ugly jewelry, and a pretend-kiss that nearly sets the world on fire.
