Bishop by Sawyer Bennett
Meet the Arizona Vengeance, hockey’s hottest new team. They’re burning up the ice—until a one-night-stand with the coach’s daughter freezes one player in his skates.
Bishop Scott, co-captain. Not too shabby, huh? It’s all part of my fresh start with the NHL’s latest expansion team, and that means new teammates, a new coach, a new city, and a big new contract. Basically, I cannot f***ing wait to show my old squad what they’re missing.
But first, I decide to check out the town before the grind begins. Turns out Arizona chicks are totally smokin’, and I’m fortunate enough to meet one who’s looking for the same thing I am: a night of anonymous, unforgettable, no-strings-attached sex.
Fast forward to the Vengeance arena. It’s the last place I expect to see her again—let alone in her own office. Then bells go off and I finally realize who this girl is: Brooke Perron. My new coach’s daughter. All of a sudden, we’re picking up right where we left off, which means our hands are all over each other. That’s when her dad—my boss—walks in. And before I can get a word out, Brooke’s introducing me as her fiancé.
Sure, she just saved my ass. So why do I get the feeling Brooke’s going to turn my world upside down? Maybe it’s because this fake relationship feels way too real. . . .
Wild Hunger by Chloe Neill
In the first thrilling installment of Chloe Neill’s spinoff to the New York Times bestselling Chicagoland Vampires series, a new vampire will find out just how deep blood ties run.
As the only vampire child ever born, some believed Elisa Sullivan had all the luck. But the magic that helped bring her into the world left her with a dark secret. Shifter Connor Keene, the only son of North American Central Pack Apex Gabriel Keene, is the only one she trusts with it. But she’s a vampire and the daughter of a Master and a Sentinel, and he’s prince of the Pack and its future king.
When the assassination of an ambassador brings old feuds to the fore again, Elisa and Connor must choose between love and family, between honor and obligation, before Chicago disappears forever.

From critically acclaimed author David Joy comes a remarkable novel about the cover-up of an accidental death, and the dark consequences that reverberate through the lives of four people who will never be the same again.
When Darl Moody went hunting after a monster buck he’s chased for years, he never expected he’d accidentally shoot a man digging ginseng. Worse yet, he’s killed a Brewer, a family notorious for vengeance and violence. With nowhere to turn, Darl calls on the help of the only man he knows will answer, his best friend, Calvin Hooper. But when Dwayne Brewer comes looking for his missing brother and stumbles onto a blood trail leading straight back to Darl and Calvin, a nightmare of revenge rips apart their world. The Line That Held Us is a story of friendship and family, a tale balanced between destruction and redemption where the only hope is to hold on tight, clenching to those you love. What will you do for the people who mean the most, and what will you grasp to when all that you have is gone? The only certainty in a place so shredded is that no one will get away unscathed.
The Line That Held Us sounds interesting! Might need to investigate that further.
I am going to be trying to get my hands on that one from my library. I sounds like a really dark story.
A lot of these are new to me. I really like Sarina Bowen so I would totally check out Boy Toy. Thanks for sharing!
I love Sarina Bowen and know that Boy Toy will end up on my Kindle at some point.
I really need to start reading some Chloe Neill again. I'm drastically behind on a lot of her series.
I haven't read most of her Chicagoland Vampire series but liked the Devil's Island series a lot. So far so good with this new book.
Lots of new to me recommendations! Thanks for sharing.

I hope you found something interesting, Lauren!
Great books to look forward to reading. I really love Sawyer Bennett
I had a great time with Bennett's new book!
I really enjoyed Bishop. I think I will like the books for the other players a LOT. I love Denault's series. That family has won my heart.
I cannot wait to get started with the new Denault book!
I might want to get that Chloe Neill book.
I am reading that one right now and am enjoying it so far.
I"m unaware of all of these! That's good for my TBR and definitely much needed. I've had a book acquiring problem lately.
I seem to have a book acquiring problem pretty much all of the time.
Wild Hunger is on my radar too. I can't wait to read it. I also want to read Stars Uncharted.
I am reading Wild Hunger right now although I had to put it on hold to read Diamond Fire.
