Avery + Deck's Story

MacKenzie Decker was a question Avery never got to ask, much less answer.

They met when she was a young reporter fueled by ambition, and the ink on Deck's first NBA contract was barely dry. Years later, they've climbed so high and lost so much, but one thing hasn't changed. The attraction that simmered between them in a locker room before is still there. With success like theirs, everything has been possible . . . except them.

But that was then.

The only question is...what about now?

Fast Break  (formerly appeared in Team Player Anthology 2)
Quinn + Ean's Story

Quinn

I was a world-class runner once.

My dreams had wings spun from wind and speed.

Every time out of the blocks was a glorious flight.

But then I crashed and burned.

When I lost my leg, I thought it was the finish line

Little did I know, life was just beginning

Now they call me “America’s Titanium Sweetheart.”

(What can I say? It tested well. LOL)

The life I thought was over is moving so fast.

I have my own gym, a fitness app, a clothing line, and an endless trail of endorsements.

One thing there’s never time for? Love.

One thing I don’t have time for? Games.

Come real, or don’t come at all. In a field full of players, I’m looking for a real one.

Otherwise, I won’t stop.


Ean


I had hoops dreams. I wanted to be like Mike, jump like Magic and soar like Dr. J.

But a college injury grounded me. What I thought was game over, actually opened up a whole new world.

Fast forward to now. I’m coaching some of the NBA’s best.

They call me The Machine because I’m obsessed with stats and data, and my near-photographic memory means I remember every play.

I see the court clearly. But I never saw her coming. Quinn Barrow stops me in my tracks.

Pursuing my first championship, there’s been no time for love.

I’m more than willing to chase her, but will she slow down long enough to be caught?

~ BOOK REVIEW for Alpha's Rescue ~

****(4) out of 5 Stars

Technically, this is book #5 in the Shifter Ops series, although it contains only a couple passing references about the guys from Black Wolf Security.  Instead, it centers on their helicopter pilot friend Teddy.

This book a lot of sweet goodness, interspersed with a fair amount of hot sexiness, a dash of danger, and a pinch of male stupidity.

Teddy falls for Lana before he even has an inkling that he is doing so.  And of course she falls for him as well.  I mean, how can she not?  He's a big, attentive, protective, amazing Viking who saves her!  And she doesn't even know the half of it.  Slowly but surely, Lana begins to get her memory back, and to discover things she wasn't aware of beforehand.  Most of which, unfortunately, isn't all that great.  

But even without the love and support of the two most important men in her life, she is still very well cared for.  Teddy's brothers adopt Lana almost from the moment they meet her.  As well they might, since she is good to them in return.  In fact, her relationship with several of them form some of the best ones in the book. 

It's just too bad that Teddy has to go and ruin it all.  Or almost so anyway.  Thanks  in no small part to the devious actions of some bad players, as well as advance emergency plans, the resourcefulness and determination of his brothers, and some plain old dumb luck, everything is allowed to work out in the end.  Eventually.

I received a free eBook copy of this title from the Author and Social Butterfly PR,
and have willingly provided an honest review.

Excerpt

I’m on my way back, my arms full of eggs, when I pick up the scent of an intruder. The front door of my cabin is open and swinging in the breeze. “Motherfucker…”

I pick up my pace, dropping eggs as I rush into the cabin. I make it just in time to hear Lana’s gasp. She’s standing in the bedroom door, her mouth hanging open. And in the kitchen is a big black bear, its face stuck into my ice box.

“No!” I snap, and wave my arms, forgetting I’m carrying the eggs. They spatter to the floor. I catch two of them and lob them at the bear. It scuttles back, but gets a yolk to the snout. Snuffing and sneezing, it shakes its head, spraying egg everywhere.

“Out,” I charge forward, keeping myself between the bear and Lana. I wave an arm like a traffic cop, gesturing to the door. The bear, who is really my brother Axel, gives me a reproachful look and ambles towards the exit. Halfway there, he stops and swivels his head towards my bedroom. He’s scented Lana.

“Now!” I bellow, getting behind him so I can herd him out. The idiot’s probably hung over and looking for easy grub in my fridge. Goddammit. I should’ve put out word that I was on a top secret mission, not to be disturbed.

By the time I get Axel out, my floor is covered in oozing egg yolks and broken shells. Both the fridge and the freezer doors are hanging open, and I have to shove a bunch of food back in to close them. One frozen package is pierced with claw marks–some deer sausage Axel made last year. I don’t know why he stored it with me. I’d forgotten it was there.

There are three small eggs that survived the fight. If I salvage them and the pack of sausage, I can make the human a full meal.

Oh, shit, the human.

Lana is still standing in the door, her brown eyes wide and staring. I hustle over to her.

“Lana.” I rest my hands on her shoulders and check her over. “You okay? Talk to me.”

Her lower lip trembles. “B-b-b–”

“Bear.” I gather her into my arms. This is the third time today I’ve held her, and damn if it gets better every time. “Yes, I know. He's gone now.” I raise my voice and holler out the window at Axel’s retreating form. “And he won’t come back.”

“He just wandered in through the door and got into the fridge,” Lana is breathless. “Guess the bears really are bad around here.”

“You have no idea.”
