THE STORY:
The heart of change is the change of heart.

Life is about never-ending choices. Yet some people never have the courage to choose change.

CJ Fallon has struggled with a family that she’s never quite fit into and a negative body image poisoned by her toxic, emotionally-distant mother. CJ’s mom finds fault with every choice CJ has made in her 27 young years. From earning her degrees; to climbing the corporate ladder; to her love of competing in Ironman triathlons; it’s all been one mistake after another according to CJ’s mother.

And now that CJ has won her ‘age group’ in an Ironman race as an amateur, she’s on the radar of the world’s athletic elite. Nick Madison, a former Tour-de-France star and coach of an up-and-coming Ironman team, wants her to join his outfit and become a professional. A real pro!

CJ struggles with her decision but once she commits to something, there’s no turning back.

After all, life is about making choices.

Even if it means leaving a stable career.

Even if it means leaving friends and moving half-way around the world.

Even if it means living with her mother’s rejection.

Even if it means losing her heart.

Even if it means risking her very life.

Life is about the risks we take and the courage we display. For Natalie Walsh, switching from orthopedics to sports medicine lands her a job with team Fear US and Fear US2 setting her on a journey toward her true destiny.

She’s a lone-wolf runner extraordinaire who’s running from her past and searching for her proper place in this world. The annual team trip to Guam allows her to put the most distance between herself and her troubles, but places her face-to-face with the one person who challenges her ability to trust.

Mike Dawson, owner of the resort where the team stays, is known as the island’s surfer-dude playboy. He’s happy to show the beautiful tourists a good time, because he’s all about the short-term. No risk. No commitment. He vows to help the buttoned-up doctor relax and learn what island life is all about.

Even with spiritual forces at work, she still believes running will keep her safe. Physically. Emotionally. And though Mike continues to fight the magnetic pull, he’s more drawn to her each day.

For these two, things are not always as they appear, but will they listen to the Universe and have the courage to change for a better tomorrow?

Olympic Gold meets 5 star romance! THE GAMES by Patricia McLinn #amreading #Olympics, #romance

The-Games-by-Patricia-McLinnJust in time for the Olympics! Check out USA today bestselling author Patricia McLinn’s GOLD MEDAL contemporary romance set amidst the excitement of the Olympic Games. THE GAMES is today’s Revolving Book.
“Patricia McLinn wins gold with this sparkling romance! The Games is your ticket behind the cameras and inside the hearts of the winter Olympics.” – Carla Neggers, New York Times bestselling author

Today the world will turn its eyes — and TVs — to Rio de Janeiro and the Summer Olympics. Medals can be won, careers can be made and hearts can be lost in the 16 days of The Games, as author Patricia McLinn captures in her heart-warming, pulse-pounding romance that follows three U.S. athletes at the top — and twilight — of their competitive callings.

Tess Rutledge, once an Olympic champion figure skater, returns to the Winter Games as a coach, encountering her first love — and only heartbreak — and testing her ability to forgive. Alpine skier Kyle Armstrong has made a terrible mistake that could cost her a shot at Olympic gold as well as any hope of reconciling with the man she loves. Biathlete Rikki Lodge thinks she’s just happy to be at the Games, until she meets a hockey player who demands that she do what she’s never done before: put it all on the line.

In The Games, longtime sports journalist and best-selling novelist Patricia McLinn takes you inside the athletes village. Patricia’s award-winning books have gained fans around the world. Of her most recent releases, Booklist said: “beautifully written, richly emotional love stories that are a joy to read.”

Fate could be as cruel as people. She learned that anew in the instant she caught sight of the man staring at her. A man from another world, another time, sitting close enough now that she could see the winter night’s breeze ruffling his blond hair, his too-long-remembered blue eyes piercing into her. Andrei Chersakov.

Let The Games begin!

GOLD MEDAL REVIEWS:
“Fast-paced, vivid and true-to-life, Patricia McLinn’s The Games captures the personal drama and compelling stories of the greatest sports event on earth. It’s a gold-medal winner any fan of the Games will love.” – Christine Brennan, USA Today sports columnist
“The Games accurately portrays the emotional roller coaster an athlete rides . . . The pride, excitement, disappointment, relationships, doubt, relief, joy and all of the pressures . . . all come to a head at the Olympic Games.” – Michael Weiss, U.S. Olympic figure skater and three-time U.S. Men’s champion
“The Games is a wonderful book! All of the characters are so dynamic, so believable. The tension of the various competitions is nerve-wracking. The romance going on behind the scenes is explosive. . . . a story you won’t be able to put down, and one you’ll not soon forget.” – RomanceJunkies.com

SYNOPSIS:
Ryan Hunter has kissed more girls than he cares to remember. But the only one he ever wanted is in love with his best friend.

Watching Liza Matthews’ obsession with Tony Mitchell is a torture Ryan conceals from everyone. Until after a five-week soccer camp, where Tony gets involved with someone else, things suddenly take a different turn. Ryan knows if he doesn’t make a move now and grab his chance, he might never get another.

Asked by Tony to distract Liza, Ryan is only too happy. He subtly seduces her first into his soccer team and later on to his party. He does all in his power to make her see that he’s not just an insufferable player but a guy who really cares about her. Some one-on-one soccer training, a passionate kiss—things seem to be going the way he wants. Except Ryan didn’t reckon on his best friend showing up at the worst possible moment and destroying everything . . .

REVIEWS:
“BEST.GUY.POV.EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe how much I love Ryan Hunter right now. I mean, obviously, I already loved him in Liza’s POV. I just never imagined that the guy had it for her for the longest time! JUST WOW. I AM TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!”

“Ryan Hunter…. I still love you! (*SIGH*) If you’ve read Play With Me, than you know what I mean. Same story, but from a different POV… from Ryan’s POV. We can see, that he’s actually a really sweet and caring person. He loves his friends and family, and he LOVES Liza. But he’s still the towns bad boy…”

“*Sigh* Wow! Ryan Hunter is def one of the most swoon worthy book boyfriends out there.. He’s just so sweet and devoted towards the one he really deeply loves since the first time he saw her! Very refreshing to read a guy pov book! there are a few authors out there that are doing it and let me tell you if I would make a top 5 of authors who are doing a guy pov then Piper Shelly would def be in that list. ”

“OMG!!! I love Ryan Hunter a helluva LOT!!! Reading their story, Ryan and Liza, all over again and told from Ryan’s POV… WOW. It is really nice knowing what Ryan Hunter thought about Liza. I really liked knowing how and what Liza did to him. Dammit. Pretty cool and sweet.”

REVIEWS:

I received this book to review three days ago, and I haven’t put it down since. Seriously. It’s that good! It is a very interesting read and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time.I was a little concerned about the book’s focus on tennis, since I am not really a big sports fan. But, that definitely didn’t stand in the way of me enjoying the book. This book is a great read, especially if you are a romance lover like myself! It keeps you guessing, and you are always wondering what is going to happen next. I really like how fleshed out the characters are, they were easy to imagine and easy to relate to. I felt like I really got to know all of the characters while still keeping on pace with the story. Perfect balance!
Flipoutmama
GoodreadsIts a book I couldn’t put down until the end.
Hanna
Goodreads

I could not put this book down because I always kept wanting to know what would happen next. Great story line, the characters were well developed and I loved the ending. Please do not pass this book up. You do not have to be a fan of tennis to enjoy it as much as I did. Trust me you will not want to stop reading it.
Emily
Goodreads

From the get go you feel the sexual tension between these two and it’s a fun and entertaining ride to the end. I was very impressed with the fast pace of the story and how well it kept my interest. Even during the tennis games it kept my interest.
Rebecca Bryant
Goodreads

I enjoyed this book, because it is a romance that felt more unpredictable and surprising than most of the romances I have read. The romantic tension between Lizzie and Jack is tangible. The ending is not predictable.
Florence Mims
Goodreads

Starling is able to develop the characters nicely and you are really able to relate to Lizzie. She is definitely not a Mary Sue! I was actually interested in reading what was going to happen next. That does notusually happen with romances. I can pretty much figure out who is going to end up with who. Starling is able to keep you guessing.
Lana Bradstream
Goodreads
A highly entertaining read for all those who love tennis and smouldering romance between athletes”
How many of you have watched the movie Wimbledon? If you enjoyed it, you will definitely enjoy this book. The characters in this story are all highly entertaining whether the main lead or supporting characters. The pace of the story is fast and fun, you will not get bored even during the game.

REVIEWS:
Reviews on Barnes and Noble: http://tinyurl.com/9qxbkjg

“Loved the opening! You can feel the sexual tension on the very first page. I also liked this idea of having the heroine competing in the same sport as the hero. And against each other! In the opening scene thery’re competing against each other in a mixed doubles match. It’s always the guy who’s the athlete and the heroine is in pr, a journalist or an event planner. Lizzie’s a great heroine. She’s got moxie!”

“I was hooked right from the beginning. Let’s say that the massage on the first page got me ready. And I was not disappointed. Neither will you be! The thing that I liked about this romance is that it really was a romance between Lizzy and Jack. So many so-called romances have their heroes and heroines getting it on before they’ve even got a groove going. But It’s a Love Game gets you going from the get-go with its hot sexual tension and smoldering romantic conflict.”

SYNOPSIS:

Baseball reporter Maddie Leclair has spent years chasing her dream job—covering the major league team, the Philadelphia Patriots. Now that she’s landed the assignment she intends to make it big, with feature articles on the front page of every sports section in the country. But to do that, she needs to score an interview with the most private and elusive athlete in baseball, Patriots’ superstar Jake Miller.

On the rebound from a devastating injury that knocked him out of play for a season, Jake has a lot to prove to the suits in the front office. He’s sure he still has what it takes to win, and he’ll be damned if he lets anything get in the way of his climb back to the top.

The last thing Jake needs is a pushy female reporter distracting him. But one look at Maddie and he knows he’s in trouble. He finds himself trying for a different kind of play, one that involves bedrooms and not baseball stats. Sleeping together could damage both their careers, and Maddie is all about saying no. But when it comes to the game of love, Jake is playing to win.

FASTBALL is a prequel to HARDBALL by V.K. Sykes http://tinyurl.com/7axdcze

AUTHOR BIO:  V.K. Sykes is really two people – Vanessa Kelly and Randy Sykes, a husband and wife team who write sexy contemporary romance. Randy excels at plot and characterization, but tends to fall down on the job when it comes to that pesky old thing called emotion. That’s where Vanessa steps in. She usually writes the sex scenes, too, since Randy is a bit uncomfortable when it comes to that sort of stuff. Vanessa also writes Regency-set historical romance for Kensington Zebra under her own name.
