Out of His League
Author: Caroline Richardson
Released: April 5, 2022 by W by Wattpad
Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomanceSometimes you’ve got to leave your heart on the field
Gretchen Harper has always been practical. Dependable, solid, predictable. She’s never taken risks, and she’s especially never bought coffee for gorgeous professional athletes in airports. That is, until she meets her favorite baseball player on the worst day of his career.
Being sent to the minor league is just the first of Joshua Malvern’s many worries—he’s got an injury that won’t heal and his entire career and future are on the line. When a beautiful woman offers him coffee, that simple kindness is exactly what he needs to lift him out of his funk. He asks her to join him in first class, not expecting to end up joining her in bed.
What starts as a one night stand ends up holding the promise for so much more. And while stepping out of her comfort zone has never been Gretchen’s style, for a chance at true love she’ll have to decide whether she’ll swing for the fences, even if it means striking out.

Training for Love
Author: Amanda Kabak
Released: April 1, 2022 by Bella Books
Genre: Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, RomanceCharlie Williamson is a life-long jock who’s butch enough to cause plenty of raised eyebrows in gym locker rooms. Since flaming out of college on a wave of drugs, alcohol, and depression, she’s worked the same easy, low-stress job at RRiotWear—a women’s fitness clothing startup in Chicago. Then with a promotion on the horizon, Charlie’s boss ropes her into leading a beginner’s marathon group in the RRiotWear facilities.
Elizabeth McIntyre runs a boutique tech company. Since graduating from MIT, she’s made herself into the face of women in technology. She has a beautiful apartment she never sees, a string of ex-girlfriends, and a propensity for panic attacks. When her doctor confirms what her best friend has been saying for years—that Elizabeth needs to slow down and make some radical life changes—she signs up for RRiotWear’s marathon program.
Despite everything that points to a not-so-perfect fit, the attraction between Charlie and Elizabeth grows week after week, and mile after mile. But with secrets lingering between them, they might find their relationship stumbles before it can even get to the starting line.

Good Hands
Author: Kelly Jamieson
Released: April 12, 2022 by Kelly Jamieson
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romance
Series: Bears Hockey II #2A hookup doesn’t have to mean just once. Right?
Brandon Smith
Keep it easy. Keep it fun. Never hold on. That sums up my relationship goals, with hockey teams and with women. I learned early on that love and family equals fights and heartache. So I’m always moving on to the next team, the next hookup, before things turn sour.When I meet Lola at a tropical beachside bar, it’s the perfect set up for a little hot vacation sex. She’s gorgeous, funny, and most importantly, leaving for home tomorrow. But this time, I have a sinking feeling I’ll be sorry to see her go.
Lola McGrath
I knew after that night in Aruba I’d never see Brandon again. That’s fine; I’m too busy vying for the corner office to make time for relationships. But when our paths cross again in New York, our sizzling attraction leads to “just one more night”. Then another. And another.We never meant to become friends with this many benefits. Especially the one neither of us ever expected—or thought we wanted.

The Long Game
Author: Rachel Reid
Released: April 26, 2022 by Carina Press
Genre: Contemporary Romance, LGBTQIA, Romance
Series: Game Changers #6To the world they are rivals, but to each other they are everything.
Ten years.
That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. From friends, from family…from the league. If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain secret. He loves Ilya, but what if going public ruins everything?
Ilya is sick of secrets. Shane has gotten so good at hiding his feelings, sometimes Ilya questions if they even exist. The closeness, the intimacy, even the risk that would come with being open about their relationship…Ilya wants it all.
It’s time for them to decide what’s most important—hockey or love.
It’s time to make a call.

Eagerly awaiting THE LONG GAME—April 26 is a red-letter day! However, I would encourage anyone who plans to read THE LONG GAME to definitely read HEATED RIVALRY first as it involves the same MCs (Shane & Ilya). I also understand that part of THE LONG GAME’s time-line runs parallel to that of ROLE MODEL, where Ilya has a major supporting role, so it would be best to read that too. I plan a reread of both the week before THE LONG GAME drops. If you can’t tell, I’m really stoked for THE LONG GAME—it’s my most highly-anticipated release of 2022 so far.
Ooh, I am also here for more Ilya and Shane! And clearly I need to read ROLE MODEL so I can be fully briefed before THE LONG GAME is released.
I will say, f/f is not usually my jam, but the premise for TRAINING FOR LOVE has a lot of catnip for me…
I have an ARC of “Training for Love” that I need to start on. Also, a Bookstagrammer I know shared that Harlequin plans to go back and print the whole “Game Changers” series in paperback after “The Long Game” is released. I read an ARC of “The Long Game” and I can’t wait to talk with people about it!
@Heather I know I’m not the only one who has wondered why these aren’t in paper already. I will mash that order button.
Training For Love sounds like fun. There’s a typo – the author’s last name is Kabak not Kabal.
I’m also excited about Long Game.
@Cleo: Thank you! Corrected.
“He’ll do anything to get her off.”
…
Bwahahahaha!
SHENANIGANS by Sarina Bowen came out last week and it was a lot of fun. I’ve enjoyed the entire Brooklyn Bruisers series, but I kind of love that the last couple of them have had both leads be professional ice hockey players. Let’s hear it for professional female athletes.
I’m going to make some seriously bad book decisions the day the Long Game is released.
Please children let me read this book the minute its downloaded into my hot hands!
I am so, so excited for The Long Game!! I will read the whole series again before it comes out, I’m looking forward to that.
@Christine-thanks for the heads up for Shenanigans-I didn’t realize that was out already.
You can add me to the list of people dying to read The Long Game. I’ve never called out of work to stay home to read, but I think April 26 may be the day.
