Slater and Arley have been best friends for a while, they also have been in love with the other just as long. While they don’t let each other know their real feelings they are still really close and pine away after each other, but when Arley is targeted by a threat Slater steps in to be her bodyguard. As the hunt for the threat against Arley ensues the tension between them start to heat up, but the fear of how things will change still lingers. The action, suspense, and slow burn will keep you on the edge of your seat with anticipation, not to mention the cliffhanger we are left with. This was my first book by this author and I must say it held my intrigue all the way through and I can’t wait to see what happens next for these two.… (mere)

In the conclusion of Slater and Arley’s story we get o much more in depth look at their relationship and the things going on with the threat against Arley. Slater and Arley together is amazing with the banter they have and the fierce way Slater would do absolutely any and everything for her had my heart falling in love. As they are still hunting the person out to hurt Arley the passion between them is off the charts while the twists and suspense had me on the edge of my seat seeing how it would all play out. This story was truly great!… (mere)

Can't Block My Love is a hilarious, charming spicy, quick read. OMG. Right from the beginning I was laughing. Cheers to the hockey coach for not dealing with Remington's attitude. Rem did need to be dropped down a few pegs to show he is not the God that most women think he is. I say "most" as Poppy sure was not falling for Rem's charm.

Try as she might, Poppy could only hold out so long. the chemistry between Rem and Poppy was heating up. There definitely were some steamy scenes. I thought that Poppy and Rem were evenly matched. She helped keep him in check and he showed her how to let loose a bit and have fun. I look forward to getting my hockey romance fix by reading the next book in this series.… (mere)
