The Rulebreaker by Piper Rayne ~ #SportsRomance #ContemporaryRomance


About the Book:

I’m the coach’s daughter. Falling for one of my father's players was never the plan.

Especially not Decker Davis.

Chicago Colts third baseman.

Dependable. Steady. The guy everyone trusts.

And the man who’s spent years keeping his distance—especially from me.


We have history. The kind that ten years and a thousand miles can’t touch.

So, this time, I promised myself I'd be smarter.

No getting attached. No blurred lines. And definitely, no falling.

He broke every last one within the first week.


Because Decker doesn’t just show up for me. He shows up for my daughter.

Because he fits into our lives like he was always meant to be there.

Because he looks at me like I was never something he wanted to lose.


And suddenly, the walls I've spent years building don't feel nearly as solid as they used to.


But if I let him in, I’m not just risking my heart—I’m risking hers too… and I already know what losing him costs.

I won’t let my daughter pay that price.

#BookReview & #AudiobookReview ~ The Wild Card by Piper Rayne ~ #SportsRomance #Baseball #Romance

Getting pregnant after a one-night stand with my brother's best friend was never part of the plan.


We're talking about Foster Davis here.

Chicago Colts closing pitcher.
The broody king of one-word answers.
And the man everyone knows keeps one foot out the door.

Surprisingly, when two pink lines turn my world upside down, Foster doesn't run. He steps in, he shows up, and he insists we do this together.

Pretending we're fine is easy. Pretending this is just about the baby? Not so much.

Because Foster is gentle when no one's watching.
Because he looks at me like I'm something worth protecting.
Because the walls he's built start to crack—and I'm the one he's letting inside.

Our arrangement was supposed to be simple. Boundaries were set. Co-parents and no catching feelings.

Okay, maybe a few sex lessons were added in too. Bad idea, I know.

Because the more time I spend with Foster Davis, the harder it is to remember why I ever thought he was the risky choice.

Print length: ‎ 440 pages
ISBN-13: ‎ 979-8887144122


My Review of the Book:

The Wild Card is the amazing second book in The Dugout series by Piper Rayne. I absolutely loved Callie and Foster's story. They both are magnificent characters. They are complex, emotional, and believable. The chemistry they share is off the charts, even though they try to deny their feelings.

One of my favorite tropes is the sibling's best friend romance. This story knocks that trope out of the park! The Wild Card is sweet and spicy, heartwarming and heartbreaking, and filled to the brim with romance and emotion. 

I loved everything about the story, the characters, the setting, and the romance. The authors created a realistic and romantic world. The story flows well, pulls you in, and keeps you engaged. The writing style and story are amazing.

My Review of the Audiobook:

The narrators for this series are spot-on. I love how each voice perfectly portrayed their assigned character. I don't typically read in a specific "voice" in my head, but if I did, Sean Masters and Erin Mallon would be those "voices." I'm excited that I was able to read the book and listen to the audiobook (I don't typically have both formats but for this book I said "Why not?!"). I alternated between formats depending on where I was and what I was doing. 

I was provided with a copy of this book and the audiobook. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

#BookReview ~ The Hotshot by Piper Rayne ~ #SportsRomance #Baseball #TheDugout


The Hotshot by Piper Rayne is now live!


About the Book:

Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Actually, it wasn’t in any plan.

One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.

Enter Hayes Carlisle.

My best friend’s older brother.
Chicago Colts newest catcher.
And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.

So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.

But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.

Because he remembers how to make me laugh.
Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.
Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.
Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.

I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.
But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?

That might be the one thing I can’t do.

My Review:

The Hotshot is the first book in a new baseball romance series and I loved it! Leighton and Hayes are magnificent characters. They are complex, emotional, and completely believable. Their chemistry is off the charts. Leighton and Hayes have known each other forever and that's what they hoped to have at one point but circumstances led them down different paths. 

One of my favorite tropes is the brother's or sister's best friend romance. This story knocks that trope out of the park! The Hotshot is sweet and spicy, heartwarming and heartbreaking, and filled to the brim with romance and emotion. There is a lot of sadness, secrets that are revealed, and tense scenes as Leighton works on proving that she's the best fit as the guardian of her cousin's three children. 

I loved everything about the story, the characters, the setting, and the romance. The authors created a realistic and romantic world. The story flows well, pulls you in, and keeps you engaged. The writing style and story are amazing.

#BookReview ~ Yule Be Mine by Piper Rayne #CloseProximity #EnemiesToLovers #Holiday #Romance


Yule Be Mine by Piper Rayne is now live!

My Review:

Yule Be Mine is a fast-paced holiday romance. Carter and Ashley have a less-than-savory history. He rejects her. She understandable doesn't take it well. He needs a room to stay during his best friends' wedding. She has the only room in town. 

I really enjoyed Carter and Ashley's story. They had amazing chemistry. The close-proximity, enemies-to-lovers, holiday story entertained me and engaged me. I flew right through this novella. Yule Be Mine was a pretty fast-paced story. 

I liked everything about the story, the characters, the setting, and the set-up. The authors created a story that flows well, pulls you in, and keeps you engaged. This writing due creates amazing worlds and I love being part of them.

I was provided with a copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

My Rating:


About the Book:

When workaholic best man Carter arrives in Mistletoe Falls for his best friends’ Christmas wedding, a town-wide Santa Festival and a misplaced motel reservation leave him with one option—beg the woman he once rejected for a room at her bed-and-breakfast. Unfortunately, that woman also happens to be the bride’s sister…and the maid of honor.

To make matters worse, the bride and groom are delayed, turning Ashley and Carter into last-minute wedding planners, forced into a truce neither of them wants. But late-night checklists, a blizzard of holiday activities, and a charming small town turn their snark into sparks.

When they get snowed in and every near-kiss feels dangerously close to something real, Carter realizes there’s more to December than year-end deadlines.

As their truce melts, one question remains—is this a holiday fling, or the start of forever?

Piper Rayne has revealed the cover for Chasing Home!


Releasing: December 9, 2025

Cover Designer: The Whiskey Ginger


About the Book:

It was straight out of a rom-com—until two pink lines changed everything.

Zander Shaw is country music’s hottest star. So, when he singled me out of a packed arena and had me pulled backstage, I should’ve known I wasn’t his forever. One signed NDA later, I was sneaking onto his tour bus, wrapped up in his world, and him. But it ended before it really started when he ghosted me.

Then he shows up on my family’s ranch to film his new music video, a surprise to us both. Now I’m his appointed tour guide around the ranch, stuck sharing all my favorite places with the man who carelessly discarded me.

The more time we spend together, the harder it is to guard my heart because his flirty half-smile makes me forget my anger. But Zander’s made it clear, he’s not looking to ride out into the sunset with anyone.

Which would be fine… if I wasn’t carrying his baby.

#BookReview: Chasing Love by Piper Rayne ~ #ContemporaryRomance #SecretBaby #SingleParents


Chasing Love by Piper Rayne is now live!


About the Book:

It was over between Bennett Owens and me—until I had no place to go but back to Willowbrook.

Seven years ago, he walked away, and I built a new life for myself, swearing never to look back. But when my husband is arrested, that life collapses, leaving my daughter and me with nothing but a three-month plan to return to the small ranch town before disappearing again.

Bennett’s a single dad now. Our girls become inseparable on sight, making it impossible to keep him at arm’s length. Especially when I end up working alongside him, where every glance chips away at the walls I’ve built.

The years apart haven’t dulled the pull between us. Bennett remains protective and patient, determined to prove that we deserve a second chance. But he has no idea about the secret I’ve kept since the day he left.

Because once he learns the truth, he may never forgive me. And like it or not, we’ll be bound together forever—by the daughter he never knew was his.

My Review:

This book is Full of Feelings, Regrets, and Additional Chances. 

Chasing Love has a romantic trope that readers might find controversial. One that could turn readers off. Let me tell you though, once you learn more about what happened, you might see things in a different light. I enjoyed Bennett and Delaney's characters and how the authors paved their road to redemption. Both are to blame for things that happened in the past but the authors did great job brining everything to the surface for the characters to explore and navigate.

#BookReview ~ Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne ~ #SmallTown #Romance


Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne is now live!


It was a fun Vegas getaway—until I woke up married to my ex-fiancé’s brother.

After Watson brother #1 ditched me at the altar, I stopped believing in happily-ever-afters. So I have no clue how I ended up saying “I do” to Brooks—Watson brother #2—somewhere between tequila shots and bad decisions.

Okay, that may not be true.

Sheriff Watson has been a charming thorn in my side ever since his brother left our small ranch town in his rearview mirror. He’s a little too steady, a little too sweet, and way too intuitive because he sees through my facade. But no matter how tempting he is, he’s still a Watson.

I demand an annulment. He refuses, bargaining four real dates before he signs.

Fine. I’ll sabotage each one and keep my heart safely locked away. It’s easier this way because he has no idea the secret I’m keeping.

Of course, Brooks doesn’t go down easy—he has enough faith for both of us. He tackles my fears at every turn, making me wonder what would happen if I went all in.

But trusting the wrong man once nearly ruined me—doing it again might finish the job.


My Review:

Chasing Forever is the fourth book in the Plain Daisy Ranch series. This is Lottie Owens and Brooks Watson's book. They go to Vegas as part of group to watch Emmet and Briar get hitched and, after a drunken evening, they wake up the next morning Mr. & Mrs. 

Lottie panics and Brooks takes things in stride. When she demands an annulment, he counters with some dating to be sure. As they move through the dating phase, while enduring the whispers of the town folk, the snickering of her family, and the snide comments from his parents, a slow burn romance takes shape.

I really enjoyed Lottie and Brooks' story. I immersed myself in their tale of an accidental marriage, slow-burn romance. I loved them separately and together. They are strong characters that stand on their own but are so much better together. 

They aren't perfect and the authors wrote them so well. Lottie has a lot of emotional baggage stemming from Brooks' brother. Brooks has a lot of family drama that he can't shake. I loved watching them unravel each other. I enjoyed watching Lottie finally take the the time to see what was in her heart. Brooks was patient, understanding, and so romantic. 

I enjoyed the story, setting, and characters. I have really enjoyed the Plain Daisy Ranch series. I can't wait for the next book.

#BookReview ~ Mr. Charming (The Nest, Book 4) by Piper Rayne ~ #SportsRomance #HockeyRomance #Romance #PiperRayne #CloseProximity #SecondChances


Mr. Charming by Piper Rayne is now live!

About the Book:

Three years ago, I swore to myself we were done.

Since then, Tweetie Sorenson has embraced the professional hockey player bachelor lifestyle—his social media is a highlight reel of clubs, friends, and a never-ending stream of different women.

It’s hard to believe he’s the same man who stole my heart the very night we met. With him, everything felt wild, spontaneous, and absolutely perfect. I thought he was my forever.

Then, he broke my heart. Or maybe we broke each other’s. Either way, it was over.

I’ve moved on—new city, dream job—until my boss throws me back into Tweetie’s world. I’m sent to Chicago to manage the Falcons’ social media, which means working alongside the one man I never truly let go of. FML.

My Review:

I have been waiting for this book for so long. Mr. Charming was well-worth the wait. The fourth and final book in The Nest series, Mr. Charming focuses on Tweetie and Tedi. Apart for years, this fantastic duo is forced back together when Tedi's job takes her to Chicago, and right back into Tweetie's path.

Tedi and Tweetie's story is amazing. Their chemistry hits the reader like an arrow to the heart (cupid's arrow, not a hunting arrow). The story is sweet, spicy, angsty, romantic, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and filled to the brim with emotion. 

I loved everything about the story, the characters, the setting, and the romance. The authors created a realistic and romantic world. The story flows well, pulls you in, and keeps you engaged. The writing style and story are amazing.

#BookReview ~ Mr. Swoony by Piper Rayne ~ #mrswoony #thenest #piperrayne #hockeyromance #sportsromance #valentineprlm @valentine_pr_

 

Mr. Swoony by Piper Rayne is now live!

About the Book:

Hockey players were never my type.

At least, that’s what I thought—until I met Conor Nilsen. In truth, I didn’t know he was the goalie for the Chicago Falcons when he struck up a conversation the night of my bachelorette party.

He proved he wasn’t just some hot guy looking to score when he helped me get my drunk bridesmaid safely back to our hotel. That’s when he discovered my 30-before-30 bucket list—a list I hadn’t managed to check a single item off.

What was meant to be a night of stargazing turned into so much more. The chemistry between us was undeniable, and after one innocent night together, I started to question everything—especially my upcoming wedding to a man I wasn’t sure loved me.

Fast forward to my wedding day, and just as I’m standing at the altar, Conor bursts through the church doors to object. And now, somehow, I’m his roommate. Yikes.

My Review:

Mr. Swoony is the third book in The Nest series by Piper Rayne. This story features Eloise and Connor. After that ending in Mr. Broody, I devoured Mr. Swoony. Sometimes a brief meet-cute is all it takes to put life into perspective. Eloise’s personality as a people-pleaser leads her down the aisle toward a marriage she’s questioned for longer than she’s known Connor. She’s not the only one with doubts but it’s Connor’s objection at her wedding that sparks her into action. Little did she know she’d not only be walking out of her betrothal to Tristan and right into Connor’s apartment. 

Eloise and Connor’s story is amazing! Their chemistry is off the charts from the second they meet at Eloise’s bachelorette party. Connor makes Eloise feel things she doesn’t get from Tristan. This book is sweet, spicy, romantic, heartwarming, and emotionally rich. 

I loved everything about the story, the characters, the setting, and the romance. I love how the authors created this world. The story flows well, pulls you in, and keeps you engaged. The writing style and story took my breath away.

#NewRelease #BookReview ~ Mr. Broody by Piper Rayne ~ #SportsRomance #Hockey ~ @PiperRayneRocks @valentine_pr_ #BookTwitter


Mr. Broody by Piper Rayne is now live!

About the Book:

I’ve loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We’ve gone from best friends to lovers to nothing.

To most people, he’s the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he’s my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love.

Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began.

I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I’d leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He’s way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out.

Of course, I’m only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter—Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I’d rather forget it.

But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute teaching job, and on day one, his son walks into my classroom. Boom.

My Review:

Mr. Broody is the second book in The Nest series by Piper Rayne. This story features Jade and Henry. They were connected at the hip from the age of seven until after college and Henry was drafted to Minnesota. Jade went her own way, leaving Chicago and only coming back home recently to help her mom and step-dad. The reconnection between Jade and Henry cause a tidal wave of repressed feelings to bubble over for both, but they have different lives now.

Jade and Henry are amazing! And don't get me started on Bodhi! He stole my heart from the very first time he's on the page. This book is so sweet, heartwarming, and emotional. There's steam, but also love. This book is emotionally rich not just between Jade and Henry, but anytime Bodhi graces the pages. Everyone loves him so much and his POV chapters are so cute! 

I loved everything about the story, the characters, the new setting, and the romance. I love how the authors created a story that flows well, pulls you in, and keeps you engaged. The writing style and story took my breath away.

I might have teared up a little bit in a couple places...

#BookReview ~ Merry Kissmas by Piper Rayne ~ Close Proximity, Holiday Romance, Christmas Romance, Contemporary Romance, Second Chance Romance


Merry Kissmas by Piper Rayne is now live!

About the Book:

Six years ago, he was her one-night stand, and now they’re sharing a villa for the holidays.

I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life.

Then I find out we’re competing for the same job.

Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense.

The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa.

Needless to say, this Christmas getaway is starting off rockier than the mountains we’ll be skiing down.

I’ve stayed away for years, what’s one week? But I forgot how much easier it is to ignore him with an ocean separating us—especially when he’s determined to win me back.

My Review:

Her one-night-stand  reappears in her life after six long and lonely years.

Merry Kissmas reunites two lovers who were never the same after their one-night-stand. During her semester abroad, Brynn connects with a stranger and she spends a glorious weekend with him. When she shows up to class the following Monday, Pierce is also in the same class as Brynn. To both of their surprises though, she's the student and he's the TA. 

Six years later they meet again by happenstance and it seems like fate has things all planned out. They are competing for the same job, which is uncomfortable and highly unlikely. Especially since Pierce is British, Brynn is from Oregon, and the job is in New York. What are the odds?! Then comes the vacation destination and Pierce's previously unknown ties to Brynn's family.

I really enjoyed this close proximity, second chance romance. Brynn and Pierce are terrific characters. They were perfect for each other from their first interaction. Brynn was understandably hurt by Pierce's actions six years ago, but Pierce has made it known that he wants to right the wrong and get her back. He blends perfectly into her family, who nudge Brynn into making really thinking about her happiness and if Pierce fits.

Merry Kissmas is cute, cozy, Christmasy, competitive, and a bit steamy! I could not put the book down, and enjoyed this holiday novel. Brynn and Pierce are fun to get to know. I love seeing Brynn loosen up while celebrating Christmas with her family and Pierce. The chemistry between Brynn and Pierce is off the charts and I loved watching their relationship blossom.

I was provided a copy of this book.
