If you have never read Meghan Quinn before, do it. She has some really good books. A lot of hers are Rom Coms (Romantic Comedy) and seriously she has me in stitches laughing so hard I cry. Some of hers straight up make me bawl with sadness, but they always have a HEA (Happily Ever After). With that said, I have to give my review of “Stroked Long” by Meghan Quinn.

This is one of my most favorite Meghan Quinn books. I LOVE Bodi and Ruby. I laughed so hard during this book, I cried. Ruby is one of my favorite female characters probably ever. She was so awkward, it was cute. She was herself always and didn’t care what others thought. And Bodi, I felt for him so much, I just fell in love with his character. He had OCD from childhood trauma, and you just felt his pain at times. He was sweet to those he loved though (only 3 people he held close), and you just love who he is.

This book is book 2 in a series about two Olympic swimmers and one diver. So worth the read!

Every time Brittney writes a new book, I find myself with a book hangover. I swear her books just get better and better!

This new series is going to be so good. I love that she has characters from Stealth Ops show up, but that she has introduced a bunch of new ones for us to get to know. Especially Griffin. He is definitely an alpha male who I absolutely loved. I am glad that Savanna got her second happily ever after, and with someone who understands how much she loved Marcus, but realizes she can love him too.

“And then a stranger came into my life and called me Sugar.” She closed her eyes. “And the page turned.”

This book has all the suspense and romance. My two favorite things together. Griffin helps show Savanna she can find love again, and with someone different from Marcus. He makes her feel again, and she needed that. He had his own issues to work through, and it was good watching him grow. I will definitely be rereading this one again soon.

I have enjoyed this series very much, and am glad she finished it with Johnny Maverick and Dakota’s story. These two have always had chemistry throughout the rest of the series, so it was good to finally see them get their own story together. Johnny is such a lovable character. He is open with his feelings, loves people, and is such a sweet guy. Dakota has always been good friends with Johnny, never really taking his flirts seriously, and then she does..bam. So sweet. This book did make me tear up some, made me laugh, and was all over a good book. It made me love Maverick even more than before!

I don’t know how Brittney does it, but she seems to always out do herself with each book she puts out. Jesse and Ella were WOW. Jesse had me feeling all the emotions. You know he has been holding back from Ella Mae, but you never understood why. Especially when you could feel the emotions between them two in other books. I cried quite a bit, but also laughed and smiled. Ella is a strong character, and I love how Brittney does that, I love strong female leads. You felt all the ups and downs with the characters and even had cameos by A.J., Chris and Rory. I love how she does that too.

“Because Jesse did more than break my heart. I think he broke me too. He broke so much of me,” she cried. “And I’m just not sure if he can help me put the pieces back together.”

“I’ve always known you were the one, Ella Mae. There’s never been anyone but you,” he said slowly. “You were with me in Iraq even though you didn’t know it. I had your picture with me. Always. Yours was the first face I looked at when I woke and the last face I saw before going to sleep.”

How can you not feel the emotion in that? I love these two, and am so happy to finally have read their book! You get the suspense, the mystery, and the action along with emotions and relationships. What more can you want?

Another thoroughly enjoyable book by Rebecca Jenshak. If you haven’t read previous sports or hockey ones of hers..don’t worry, this can definitely stand alone.

Leo was so sweet and adorable. He wasn’t a player and honestly was just an all around likable guy. He was nice, though sometimes awkward. He met a girl, Scarlett, and liked her immediately. They had their one night together, and then he just didn’t know what to say to her. Then, he finds out she’s the coach’s daughter. Uh oh. That couldn’t possibly go wrong, could it?

Scarlett was likable for the most part. She’s your young hot mess girl who is trying to figure life out. Her character did agitate me a bit, but she redeemed herself. It was fun watching their relationship build.

The best part about the book, we got some more Johnny Maverick. If you’re a fan of Rebecca’s, you know who he is. That alone made me happy 😉
