Spoiler:

The sport she loves is out of reach. The boy she loves has someone else. What now?

She expected to start Harkness College as a varsity ice hockey player. But a serious accident means that Corey Callahan will start school in a wheelchair instead.

Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be real Adam Hartley, another would-be hockey star with his leg broken in two places. He's way out of Corey's league.

Also, he's taken.

Nevertheless, an unlikely alliance blooms between Corey and Hartley in the "gimp ghetto" of McHerrin Hall. Over tequila, perilously balanced dining hall trays, and video games, the two cope with disappointments that nobody else understands.

They're just friends, of course, until one night when things fall apart. Or fall together. All Corey knows is that she's falling. Hard.

But will Hartley set aside his trophy girl to love someone as broken as Corey? If he won't, she will need to find the courage to make a life for herself at Harkness -- one which does not revolve around the sport she can no longer play, or the brown-eyed boy who's afraid to love her back.

HIGHLY Recommend this book and this series! It was one of my favorites last year.

Vanquished by Vivi Anna, 1st in her Hell Kat series of f/m sci-fi futuristic post-apocalyptic paranormal romances. Anna is a Samhain author and says that this has previously been released under the title of "Hell Kat" and has since been revised.

Vanquished is an action thriller that will take two enemies to the edge of reason…only together can they return.

Smart and sexy, Kat has the fighting skills of a warrior and the kind of determination few men can match. She’s caught in a post apocalyptic world where only the rich live well and Kat is determined to be one of them. To make her dream come true and reunite with her daughter, the fearless treasure hunter has to get her hands on a lot of money, and that’s going to take every bit of talent and nerve she’s got.

With her devoted partner and sometimes lover, Damian, by her side, Kat sets out to make one last big score in an underground city rumored to be the nesting place of vicious vampire-like mutants. The stakes are high in this action adventure and they get even higher when she discovers her rival hunter, Hades, is after the same thing. Big, mean, and sexy as hell, he’s the sort of alpha male Kat loves to tangle with, particularly if he can help her in her quest. What she doesn’t expect is to fall in love with the one man that challenges her at every turn and makes her body burn with pleasures she never thought possible.

One Daring Widow
In the social whirl of Regency England, Elizabeth Chudderley is at the top of every guest list, the life of every party, and the belle of every ball. But her friends and admirers would be stunned to know the truth: that the merriest widow in London is also the loneliest. Behind the gaiety and smiles lies a secret longing—for something, or someone, to whisk her away. . . .

One Reluctant Suitor
Raised in scandal, Lord Michael de Grey is convinced that love is a losing gamble—and seduction the only game worth playing. But when duty threatens to trump everything he desires, the only way out is marriage to a woman of his brother’s choosing. Elizabeth Chudderley is delightful, delicious—and distressingly attractive. With such a captivating opponent, Michael isn’t quite sure who is winning the game. How can such passionate players negotiate a marriage of necessity— when their hearts have needs of their own?

Spoiler:

Black Ops, Inc. operative Luke – Doc Holliday – Colter is taking some much needed down-time, making his way across the Peruvian Andes via rail, when banditos attack the moving train in the midnight hours.

Luke whisks Valentina off the train in a daring escape but the two of them become the targets of a relentless manhunt. Enlisting the aid of Luke's BOI teammates, they soon discover that Val’s intended abduction is linked to a plot put in play by an international gun smuggling alliance. The BOI team led by Luke, with Val along as a necessary pawn, must race halfway around the world to thwart a ruthless attack that would not only result in a devastating loss of life but destroy a tenuous peace the US and her allies have established in a vastly unstable part of the world.

Thank you! This has been a good book day for me. Went to the library and turns out they have a used bookstore in front. Quarter for a paperback and 50 cents for hard backs. I immediately saw in like new condition a stack of JE books! so I bought Plum Lovin', Plum Lucky, Plum Spooky, Motor Mouth, Metro Girl and Ten Big Ones in hardback. I have absolutely no place to put them but I'm a happy gal.

Hubby says only I could go to a library and spend money!

A Diamond in the Rough by Andrea Pickens (Signet Regency 2001)
Kindle | Kobo | Google

Adrian, Viscount Marquand, is not a typical English lord. Spurning the gaming halls and brothels, he secretly designs the most beautiful gardens in England. Then his ne'er-do-well father bets the ancestral manor on the outcome of a golf match, and it's up to Adrian to save his beloved home. But first he must travel to Scotland to learn the game.

Miss Derrien Edwards is not a typical Scottish lass. Her bouncy blond curls tucked under a woolen cap, she satisfies her love of the links by passing as a young male caddie named "Derry".

When Adrian arrives at St. Andrews links, he's paired with "Derry". While learning to play, Adrian struggles to ignore his strange attraction to the impudent caddie, and Derrien finds herself caught in her own trap. Secrets swirl as the day of reckoning arrives—and neither can afford to lose the game.
