New Release from Sawyer Bennett

Foster (Pittsburgh Titans, Book #13)

Synopsis:

When Foster McInnis’ ex-wife flakes and he finds himself with full custody of his daughter, the nanny he hires brings a new complication—an attraction he can’t ignore, no matter how hard he tries.

I love being on the ice and am grateful for my hockey career, but the off season is my favorite time of the year because it brings me my one true love—my daughter, Bowie Jane. Between my job and my ex-wife living across the country, the time I get to spend face-to-face with my kiddo is limited, though we make up for it with summers full of fun adventures. We’re thick as thieves and take full advantage of our time together, but the distance away from her is killing me.

My fortunes change when my ex walks away and I find myself with full custody. But with the hockey season looming, I know I’m going to need help taking care of Bowie Jane. Enter Mary Elizabeth Archer—otherwise known as Mazzy. Highly recommended to me through the Titans’ network, Mazzy crashes into our life like a hurricane. She’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met and to say I’m intrigued is an understatement. But no matter how attractive she is, no matter how I crave to know everything about her, I can’t go there. It’s inappropriate. Just wrong, wrong, wrong, even though she might be the most right thing I’ve ever known.

Being the indescribable force she is, there is soon no corner of our lives that Mazzy hasn’t impacted in a positive way. And my desire for more with her becomes far stronger than my misguided idea that I could ever resist this woman. Our attraction burns hot and keeping our eyes, hands and mouths off one another gets harder by the minute. It doesn’t take long for me to know that I’m all in with Mazzy. She’s my end game and, lucky for me, winning is my specialty.

Blurb:

My marriage wasn't perfect, but my husband's unexpected death yanked away my sense of security and left me floundering.

Enter Jameson Flynn, former NHL star and my late husband's sports agent, who's back in my life as the executor of the will. Things between us are as contentious as when we worked together five years ago, except now we're working together to navigate all of the secrets and deceptions my husband left behind.

I remember Jameson as arrogant, condescending, and heartless. And yet, he repeatedly shows up for me and my daughters—helping me pick up the broken pieces and put my life back together.

Now, I'm seeing a side of him he only reveals to people he truly cares about. He's protective in a way I didn't know I'd like, caring in a way I didn't know he was capable of, and still sexy as hell.

The problem is he broke my heart a long time ago. But the closer I get to Jameson, the more I see that the only thing easier than hating him might actually be loving him.

Book Review #13 of 2024--

Such a Lovely Family by Aggie Blum Thompson. Rating: 4 stars.

Read from February 22nd to 24th.

Before I get into the review, a quick thank you to NetGalley and the publishers over at Tor for allowing me access to this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Such a Lovely Family follows the Calhouns on the night of their annual Cherry Blossom Party. The D.C. elite love to show up to the family's gorgeous house and view the cherry blossoms in full bloom. But what no one expected was for the night to end in murder. Now a police investigation is underway and this picture perfect family's dark secrets start to come out. When their money can no longer get rid of the Calhouns' problems and they find themselves backed into a corner, what will they do to make sure they come out on top? Such a Lovely Family comes out on March 12th and is available for preorder now.

I was surprised when I finished this book and found myself wanting to give it a 4 star rating. I usually don't give Adult Mystery novels that high of a rating. Usually there's a problem with pacing or something in the ending that ruins it for me. But, surprisingly, not this time. I love some rich people drama because it's so absolutely absurd. It was giving the Grayson family from Revenge which I ate up. We follow the Calhoun family on the day of the party as little secrets start to come out and all of the drama gets laid out. Why did the flowers never arrive? Why is Ellie Grace so focused on getting the perfect photos? Why won't Nate open up about his ex-wife? What is going on with Trey's sobriety? And why is Thom's grin just a little too forced? I loved this small community setting of the uber rich with all of its little daily dramas happening in the midst of the murder investigation. I also found the characters to be well rounded. My favorite character was Nate's fiancée who is meeting the family for the first time and sucked into its vortex. I enjoyed the outsider's perspective. And I just have to say that the last couple of pages of the book were practically perfect for me. Specifically the final sentence. It leaves a sense of foreboding that punctuates the story so well. It also leans into the conversation that could be had about communities like this, neighborhoods like this.

The main problem I had with this one was how obvious some of these little secrets are while you're reading the book. Some of them were completely out of left field for me and were pretty good. But some of them I called pretty early on. The overarching mystery of who committed the murder and why and how was a pretty good surprise. I will also say that the ending is a little sloppy. It was sloppy in a way that can make sense, but made me feel like the author had to pull a few things together at the end to make it all work.

Overall, I had a surprisingly good time with this one. It had a lot of the things I was really looking for in an Adult Mystery. I was originally planning on taking five days to read this one so the fact that I read it in three really speaks to its readability.

No one is innocent in the eyes of Les Cavaliers de l’ombre. If your name ends up on my list, your time is up.

No regrets. No mercy. No conscience.

Until the enemy becomes my darkest obsession.

Two days ago, I paid a price to fulfill a vendetta.

Twenty minutes ago, I threw it all away.

I came to take her life but claimed it instead. Now the proud Bratva princess is bound to a monster and chained to the past.

But all actions have consequences, and my vow of vengeance has become a game of survival.

I warn my pchelka not to rely on men with sin on their lips and ice in their veins. She cautions me not to be deceived by my own eyes.

Neither of us listens.

Eight years ago, I trusted Ava with my heart.

Eight minutes ago, she trusted me with her life.

We all make mistakes.

Hendrix: A Pittsburgh Titans Novel Sawyer Bennett Release Date: June 6, 2023

My Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3TUYMTW0I06NI?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_srp

My GR Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5591031475

Synopsis:

Hendrix Bateman is one of The Lucky Three, a trio of players who were not on the Titan’s team plane the night it crashed. Feeling as if he’s been given a second chance, Hendrix is determined to make the most out of his life, but that doesn’t mean he’s not suffering from scars that can’t be seen.

 When I lost my Titan brothers in the crash, it was a mixed bag of emotions. I was devastated and grief stricken, but I was also grateful to be alive. Yeah, that might cause a little—okay, a lot of—guilt, but now I’m determined to live each day as if it’s my last.

 A night out with friends puts me in the crosshairs of Stevie Kisner—the devastatingly beautiful bar owner with a sharp tongue and a fire in her eyes that lets me know she has zero tolerance for guys like me. I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge, so I’m not dissuaded by Stevie’s tough as nails attitude or her big biker dad who looks like he wants to kill me. Fueled by too many shots and the raucous urging of my teammates, I set out to show Stevie I’ve got game both on and off the ice.

 While I shouldn’t be looking for anything more than a good time, I can’t help but be captivated by Stevie. She’s cool as hell and we burn hot together. But the more I get to know her, the more I can tell she’s holding something in reserve, and let’s just say I’ve got some trust issues after my last disastrous attempt at a relationship. Now I need to decide if I’m going to let my past dictate my future or if I am willing to put my heart on the line to find out if Stevie is exactly what I think she is—my everything.

Bayon und Ta Keo

28.11.2022 – Kambodscha, Siem Reap [Tobi]:

Zum späten Frühstück aß Sama das Nationalgericht Beef Lok Lak und war verzückt. Rindergeschnetzeltes mit französischem Ursprung. Ich hatte bereits mein drittes Fish Amok hier in Kambodscha, weißer Fisch in einer Kokos-Curry Soße und finde das Gericht spitze.

Oben Beef Lok Lak, unten Fish Amok

Da wir heute Abend die Fahrräder zurückgeben würden, buchten wir uns für den morgigen Tag die "Grand Tour". Es ist eine Tour per Tuk Tuk, die einen zu den äußeren Tempelanlagen führt und endet mit dem Sonnenuntergang am Phnom Bakheng.

Im Anschluss noch schnell unsere Wäsche abgeholt, fuhren wir erneut zu Angkor. Natürlich waren wir wieder vollgeschwitzt als wir ankamen.

Diesmal hielten wir zuerst am Bayon Tempel, der im Zentrum von Angkor Thom steht. Hier stieß ich mir mal wieder den Zeh…. Dieser Tempel hatte sehr stark ausgearbeitete Türme, die oft mit großen Köpfen verziert waren. Das hatten wir bei den vorherigen Anlagen noch nicht gesehen.

Auf dem Weg zurück zu unseren Fahrrädern sahen wir mehrere Menschenmengen, die etwas umzingelten. Beim genaueren Hinsehen sahen wir, dass es Affen waren, die im Fokus der Leute waren. Es war faszinierend anzusehen. Die Leute stürzen sich praktisch schon fast auf die Affen, um ein gutes Bild zu erhaschen. Die Affen genossen diese Aufmerksamkeit und wechselten regelmäßig ihre Pose.

An den zwölf Türmen von Prasat Suor Prat, die ich wie Brückenpfeiler sehe, traute ich mich noch einmal mit unserem Fluggefährt herum zu fliegen. Wir stellten uns also mit den Fahrrädern etwas abseits einer Straße, wo wir keine Sicherheitsleute sahen und flogen schnell zu den Türmen. Noch bevor ich sie richtig für einen Durchflug ausgerichtet hatte, flog ich in eine Baumkrone und sah die Drohne nur noch abstürzen. Immerhin "abstützen", denn von den riesigen Bäumen hätte ich sie nie herunterbekommen, besonders wo ja hier das fliegen verboten ist. Leider filmte sie den Boden, wodurch ich nicht am Bild ihre Lage ausmachen konnte, aber sie lief noch und ich wusste genau wo der Baum stand. Genau in der Flucht zwischen den Türmen. Also flitzte ich schnell hin und ließ Sama bei den Fahrrädern und Rucksäcken stehen. Auf dem Weg zur Absturzstelle wurde mir etwas flau. Das war ein Wassergraben mit einer leichten Wasserschicht über dem Gras. Eben lief sie zwar noch, aber was funktionierte möglicherweise nicht mehr, wenn sie halb im Wasser steckt. Nach guten 5 Minuten suchen, fand ich sie an einer flachen Stelle und zog sie etwa einen Zentimeter aus dem Wasser. Zum Glück war nichts beschädigt und die Kamera selbst über Wasser geblieben. Wir flogen nochmal und waren diesmal etwas vorsichtiger. Bevor wir komplett zerstochen wurden, machten wir uns wieder auf.

Es sollte nun noch weiter gehen. Das Nord-Tor hatten wir noch nicht gesehen und weil ich vom südlichen bereits so beeindruckt war, musste das natürlich auch noch abgecheckt werden. Weil die Sonne bereits tief stand, schien sie schräg durch die Baumkronen und grandios auf den Kopf an der Spitze des Tores. Das Tor sah für mich identisch mit dem Südlichen aus, doch der perfekt platzierte Sonnenstrahl ließ ein eindrucksvolles Bild entstehen.

Weil wir uns nun mit den Tempeln sputen mussten, wählten wir den nahgelegenen Ta Keo etwas östlich von Angkor Thom. Hier zeigte sich uns wieder ein ganz anderes Bild. Der Tempel war auch wieder pyramidenförmig angelegt und durch sehr steile Stufen zu besteigen.

Doch oben fiel mir der unausgearbeitete Baustil auf. Die Türme und Flächen zeigten keine Verzierungen oder Statuen. Lediglich einfache geometrische Formen waren ab und an mal zu sehen. Eigentlich wie ein einfaches Bauklötzeystem. Stein auf Stein und ab und an mal eine angewinkelt Schräge. Sehr eigenartig.

Weil die Sonne wieder unterging machten wir uns auch schon auf den Rückweg und mussten im Dunkeln das lange Stück nach Siem Reap fahren. Aber wir kannten bereits die Strecke und auch den kambodschanischen Fahrstil. Direkt gaben wir die Fahrräder am Verleih ab und liefen zu einer von Elli empfohlenen Eisdiele.

Nassgeschwitzt bestellten wir. Und wir genossen. Das Eis war spitze. Es konnte mit unseren Edeleisdielen in Europa problemlos mithalten, kostete aber auch 2,50$ für zwei Kugeln. Also war der Preis ebenfalls europäisch. Ich fand aber, dass es sich mal gelohnt hat. So oft gönnen wir uns hier keinen europäischen Luxus.

Dann holten wir uns noch schnell einen frischen Fruchtsaft als Abendessenersatz. Das sollte es für heute eigentlich dann auch sein. Aber als wir an einer Straßenecke auf den Saft warteten, sah ich wie Einheimische bei einem Motorradverkäufer frischen Papayasalat kauften.

Man kann es aber nicht wirklich mit einem Papayasalat vergleichen. Statt fruchtig ist es hier ein scharfer und würziger Salat. Kein süßer Obstsalat. Ich ging also zu dem Herren und bestellte mir auch einen, da der Verkäufer den Salat frisch in einem Mörser zerstieß und zubereitete. Beim warten gesellte sich noch eine Dame dazu und sprach mich auf khmerisch an.

Da ich kein khmerisch spreche, habe ich aus ihren Gesten folgendes verstand:

„Cool der Laden hier, oder? Wie der Salat frisch im Mörser angerichtet wird. Ich hab 3 bestellt, wie viel hast du bestellt?“ Ich zeige eine 1.

Dann zeigte sie eine zwei und der Standbesitzer sprach sie an und blickte zur wartenden Sama am Saftstand. Dann sprach die Dame kein Wort mehr mit mir. Und ich verstand erst jetzt, was sie wirklich wollte.

Sie zeigte mir gar nicht mit der Hand, wie der Salat zubereitet wurde, sondern wollte mir für 3$ eine Dienstleistung anbieten und ließ sich wohl mit meinem Gegenangebot von 1$ schnell auf 2$ runterhandeln. Erst der Verkäufer signalisierte ihr wohl, dass ich von etwas anderem spreche, da meine Frau keine 5 Meter entfernt saß. Die Dame war auch mit einem Prospekt von ihrem Massagestudio unterwegs. Später erkannte ich sogar das Studio, denn uns war am ersten Abend bereits aufgefallen wie aufgetakelt die Masseusen in diesem Studio waren und auf Kundschaft warteten. Lustigerweise bat ich Sama kurz vor der Situation, den Zubereitsungsprozess vom Salat zu filmen und so ist die ganze Situation auf Band gelandet.

Belustigt aß ich dann dort den Salat und ich erklärte Sama die Situation, die sich vor ihrer Nase abgespielt hatte. Belustigt gingen wir dann wieder zum Hotel und schwammen wieder für ein paar Runden im Pool.

Doch nicht ohne eine weitere Geschichte. Denn zum bestellten Bier gab es diesmal noch eine Schale mit Erdnüssen und anderen Krams. Die Nüsse waren sehr lecker und Sama griff als erstes aus der Schale. Das war der Fehler. Eines der Snacks war wohl so scharf, dass Sama nicht mehr ruhig sitzen konnte, das halbe Bier zum löschen austrank und wild fächelte. Natürlich gönnte ich mir die Schadenfreude und filmte die Situation bis ich ihr dann von der Bar ein Shotglas mit Milch organisierte. Das half dann auch, aber bis ich die Idee hatte und die Bar davon überzeugen konnte, waren bestimmt fünf schmerzliche Minuten vergangen und es gab bis dahin keine Linderung. Ich glaube, das war die ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit für all die Lacher bei meinen Zehanstößern.

Sama kommt nicht mehr klar

A sizzling, grumpy-sunshine, boy-obsessed, one-night-stand romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

Spade. People know what to expect when they hear my last name.

Billionaire. Alphahole. The forever bachelor. Heir to Spade Hotels, one of the most luxurious brands in the world.

Want to know what they would never call me?

Boyfriend.

Until her.

With one glance at her in the club, I’m ready to claim her for the night.

Dark, flowing hair. A smile that causes my heart to pound. Eyes that pierce my soul. And a perfect body that makes every part of me pulse.

She’s addictive. Electrifying. Consuming.

I’ve never wanted anyone more.

Our eyes meet, but she looks right past me. She isn’t here for me. She’s here for the music.

For the first time in my life, a woman makes me work for it. Her indifference fuels the fire inside me.

The result? One night. No names. No introductions.

Just pleasure.

The way I’ve always liked it.

But now, I find myself fantasizing about this gorgeous stranger, and I swear I can still feel the softness of her skin and taste her on my lips.

The minute I saw her, a switch flipped inside me. Now, how do I stop this raging … obsession?

When our paths cross again in the most unexpected way, I’m on a mission to make her mine. But what happens when she wants nothing to do with me?
