BOOK REVIEW: Training Tracey by L.M. Mountford

Every once in awhile, I like to take a walk on the dark side and read something outside of my usual genres. It’s not that I get bored with what I enjoy, I just like to explore. This book fit the bill as something that I wouldn’t normally pick up.

“Training Tracey” by L.M. Mountford is a coming-of-age menage dark romance. A married couple comforts their daughter’s friend and usher her into adulthood. The novella is short, SUPER-sexy and erotic as hell. This is not a deep, “get to know the characters” type of story. It’s an all out “get to the sex” story, and it works.

I’m glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to read this book. Check out my Goodreads review for more.

BOOK REVIEW: Want it All by Elizabeth Perry

Just $2.99

There are so many book genres out there these days that it doesn’t take too much to find a hybrid or mash-up of different types. One of my favorites is sports romances because (honestly) who doesn’t like a hunky sports figure who finds the right girl to tame him. If they don’t like each other at first, all the better.

“Want it All” by Elizabeth Perry starts with an absolutely cringe-worthy party; it also perfectly illustrates why the two main characters, Brock and Samantha, need to work together. We already know that I don’t give away plots, but the tension between the two is earned.

Books of this type don’t often have a lot of depth, but that isn’t meant to be an insult. It’s more that the reader doesn’t have to think too hard to follow the story. This is a good thing. The author throws a subplot in that kinda makes sense and kinda adds a little depth, and it works within the context of the story.

If you’re a fan of either sports or frenemies to lovers, this is the book for you. My Goodreads review is below.

Want it All by Elizabeth Perry

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It’s always nice to find a decent frenemies, sports story, and “Want it All” fits the bill. With stories like this, you pretty much know how it’s going to end up, so the interest is in the way they get there. Brock Edwards is a party-animal baseball player, Samantha Carson is the PR specialist charged with helping him get his act together before he loses his place on the team. You know that there is probably one of these guys on just about every sports team and the author does a good job of making him completely obnoxious (I like an author who isn’t afraid to portray a true chauvinistic pig; it makes the redemption that much better). I didn’t think that his background was filled out enough at the beginning to make his “awakening to love” as realistic as it could have been. Like-wise with Samantha; it all seemed to happen rather quickly. But there was an interesting twist in the second half that cleared some things up. All in all, it was a quick, enjoyable read, 3.5 stars. Oh, and even though it is fourth in a series, there was no need to have read the first three (although I will now because the characters seem interesting). Thank you to the publisher and author for a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

NEW RELEASE: Want it All by Elizabeth Perry

I shared the Cover Reveal for this book last week, now it’s available for you to buy! Check out my review while you’re at it!




Presents : New Release

Want it All
by Elizabeth Perry


Series: Sliding Home; Book 4

Genre: Sports Romance



When the biggest player in the field finally meets his match …

I’m going to be honest, here. The moment that I met Brock Edwards, I was was sure that I had drawn the short straw.

I mean, seriously.

Who really talks like that?

He thinks that he is God’s gift to women, and while that may be partially true, it doesn’t matter to me.

I’m not falling for it.

I have one job, and one job only.

Keeping him in the game, before his fed up coach trades him at the end of the season.

It should be easy, except, he resists me at every turn. Just when I think that we’re making progress, BAM!

He turns back into an asshole.

I want to hate the guy, really, I do.

Except, the more time that I spend with him, the more I realize that there is a lot more to Brock Edwards than his image shows.

He’s pretty breathtaking, actually.

He also has heartbreak written across his face.

I’m going to work hard to keep him on the field, but I’m going to have to work harder to keep him out of my bed, and worse?

Out of my heart.
