Cover Reveal | Confessions Of A Former Puck Bunny (Taking Shots, #4) | Cindi Madsen

Today I am revealing the cover of CONFESSIONS OF A FORMER PUCK BUNNY by Cindi Madsen!
 
ABOUT CONFESSIONS OF A FORMER PUCK BUNNY Taking Shots #4 Confession #1: I used to be a puck bunny, but after a hockey player broke my heart, I gave up all things hockey. Now I'm just focused on finding a way to pass my math class so I can graduate college. Confession #2: Ryder "Ox" Maddox's deep, sexy voice sends fuzzy tingles through my entire body, and I'm powerless to stop it. Which is a big problem since the hot, surprisingly funny hockey player is my new math tutor. Confession #3: I can't stop thinking about how ripped Ryder is from all his hockey training, and how fun it'd be to cross lines with him. Confession #4: I kissed a hockey player and I liked it. Confession #5: If I'm not careful, I might relapse and fall for Ryder, and then I'll be totally pucked.
CONFESSIONS OF A FORMER PUCK BUNNY RELEASES MAY 8, 2017!

Cover Design: Makeready Designs

Release Date: January 23, 2017

 

Synopsis

Vince DaMarco always liked Cassie, the shy waitress who works at the restaurant that serves as a front for his mob boss uncle. Unfortunately, she witnesses a back alley hit, and while fleeing, she’s struck by a truck. Now she’s at the top of the hit list. Desperate to stop anyone who’d draw out Cassie’s death, Vince volunteers to take care of it. Cassie Dalton has no recollection of her accident, but she’s told she’s lucky to be alive. A few years are missing from her memory, and the unsettling feeling that something isn’t right—along with the creepy sensation that she’s being watched—won’t go away. Vince shows up right when Cassie needs him most. In a world of confusion, the rugged stranger is the one thing that makes sense. But little does she know, she’s found refuge in the arms of the very man who’s been sent to kill her.  

Goodreads

 Review | 4.5 stars!

This is my favorite book thus far for this year. Vince. Lord, I love his character. She was the perfect amount of being an alpha male as he was to being a sweetheart with Cassie.

The first time he met Cassie he was done for. He hasn't been with anyone since he laid eyes on her. He totally fell and fell hard at that.

It's the same with Cassie. She doesn't want anyone else but him.Two other guys were interested in her but she plainly stated she wanted Vince. 

There was a separation towards the end for a little while but they both didn't see anybody else. #Safe

Overall, Cindi knocked Taking Care of the Target out of the ball park. I love how Vince only had eyes for Cass and she had eyes for him.

Safety members, this is a must read. You'll love Vince.

Well I guess I should also mention that the suspense was excellent too. 50% Suspense. 50% romance.

Release Blitz --> Crazy Pucking Love (Taking Shots, #3) by Cindi Madsen

 

Release Date: November 7, 2016

 

Synopsis

I just met the girl of my dreams.     Megan Davenport is funny and smart, and she’s as much of an insomniac as I am. She’s also my team captain’s little sister, which I only found out after our passionate kiss.   Megan is completely off-limits—her brother makes that very clear—and I know better than to think I can keep a relationship going during hockey season anyway. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be late-night friends, right?   The only problem is, love makes you do crazy things, like breaking all the rules.

 Review | 4 stars

I adored this book. Cindi Madsen is one of my favorite Entangled authors and I love her hockey heroes.

I was very curious about Megan from the beginning when she was introduced in Beck's book which is the first of this series.

Of course when your team captains little sister is off limits you no your in a world of trouble after you kiss her and find after the fact.

I loved that they built a friendship first and then they started letting feelings get in the way.

I loved how they both were insomniac and had their own place they went too.

My only complaint is that they might have took everything a little too slow. I mean I loved that they did take things slow, but then again I wished they would have moved a little bit faster too.

ARC Review --> Anatomy of a Player (Taking Shots, #2) by Cindi Madsen

Title: Anatomy of a Player

Series: Taking Shots, #2

              Author: Cindi Madsen

    Release Date: Available Now

                                Publisher: Entangled-Embrace

This bad boy is about to get played…

After getting her heart broken by a player again, Whitney Porter is done with men. She's focusing on her future career and her first assignment at the college newspaper: Posing as a sports writer for an exposé on the extra perks jocks receive. But Hudson Decker, the bad boy of the hockey team, is about to test her resolve. To keep herself from breaking her no-sex rule with the temptingly tattooed athlete, she decides to use him for a side project: Anatomy of a Player, to help Whitney—and women everywhere—spot a player, learn what makes him tick, and how to avoid falling for one.

With his life spiraling out of control, Hudson Decker's looking for a distraction. When his teammates bet him that he can't land the gorgeous but prickly new reporter, he accepts the challenge, boasting he'll have her in bed by the end of the semester. But Whitney is so much more than Hudson expected, and soon enough, he's in too deep. The last thing he needs is another complication, but staying away isn't an option. One thing's for certain: this girl totally throws him off his game.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it had a great cast of characters and I loved seeing the two MC’s of the first book.

While this book was very predictable, it really didn’t take away anything for me.

Whitney and Hudson don’t see eye to eye at first. Hudson is just like the guys that Whiney would usually date and there that causes a few problems. But, as time goes on so does their attraction to each other. As they spend more time together, their attraction grows. But one stupid bet could cause Hudson everything that he’s wanted.

I can’t honestly think of anything bad about this book. I really enjoyed the characters, the plot, and the romance. I’m really excited for the next book in this series.

If you like sassy heroines with very impressive fashion sense and an alpha hockey player that usually get what they want then this book would be a great read.

*ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for honest review* 

I put this book down a few chapters in because I wasn’t feeling it. A few weeks later I picked it back up and I enjoyed it enough. But it also wasn’t anything to hype about either. I liked the characters okay.

One of my big problems was the MC relationship. I liked that they were bestfirends turn lovers I love those types of books. But this one I just need more of Lyla and Beck together as a couple.

And the ending was not one of my favorite ones either. It ended suddenly and I left me wanting more.

Overall, I liked it but there was nothing special about the book or nothing in the plot either book.

So 3.5 out of 5 stars :)

Recommend: Yes. This is a sweet best friends turns lovers read.
