BLURB.

Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. She’s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm can’t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land that’s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that she’s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man that’d been worming his way into her father’s good graces while she’d been away pursuing higher education.

But she can’t be mad.

Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.

Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mind—avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.

Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.

He’s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.

She stays away as best as she can, but she doesn’t stand a chance against Denver’s determination and charm. He’s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.

The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he won’t stand for her refusal.

He’s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesn’t even know it.

He won’t stop now, even if she’s bound and determined to stay away.

5 Stars from Renee!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was pulled right into this story. The story has pain, twists & turns, kidnapping, secrets, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first.

House of BS & Lies (Don't Date Him #1)

People We Avoid (Don't Date Him #2)

Not A Side Chick (Don't Date Him #3)

Be The Full Problem (Don't Date Him, #4)

This is Holly and Denver’s story. After her father died, she thought she would get her family’s home, but it went to Denver. She is forced to find somewhere else to go. She has not had an easy life. She will figure it out. When she answers an ad about a place to stay, she is right back with Denver. Sparks fly after all the chemistry they have is strong. Can they resist? With all the crazy happening in the town they have to figure out who is behind it and who all is involved. Her father left Denver the land for a reason. When those secrets come out she understands. Can they build a future together once all the crazies get out of town?

A little side note was good that we got a peek at a character from a different series. Maybe a few more peeks in future books. I love popups.

I highly recommend this book.

[Release Blitz + Review] Knocked Up by Number Ninety by Elise Faber

noreply@blogger.com (Renee Entress's Blog) — Mon, 11 May 2026 12:00:00 -0400

One Wild Night.

One Hockey Player.

One BIG Surprise

🏒 🏒 NEW RELEASE 🏒🏒

KNOCKED UP BY NUMBER NINETY by Elise Faber is NOW LIVE!!

BLURB.

Having a baby wasn’t in my five-year plan.

Then again, neither was sleeping with a hockey player who hates my guts.

Star forward for the Grizzlies, Leo Wilson is my least favorite person on the planet.

Unfortunately, after a night of drinking and debauchery—on both our sides—we end up in bed together.

It was supposed to be one time—

Not a night punctuated by a lifetime of parental responsibility…and the slowly sinking feeling that I may have misjudged Leo.

That there may be more to him than the playboy persona.

That he may be everything I’ve ever dreamed of.

And that…I don’t think I can let him go.

AVAILABLE NOW.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Tiffany!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cute Hockey Romance.

Knocked Up by Number Ninety is book three in the Grizzlies Hockey series, and this time we get an up-close look at Leo and Harper, two adults carrying a lot of emotional baggage from their childhoods.

Leo isn’t looking for love, relationships, or feelings. No attachments works just fine for him. Growing up with toxic parents who constantly fought and dragged him into the middle of their drama convinced him that marriage and kids only lead to misery. But after one night with Harper, a caterer who is also friends with the team’s wives and girlfriends, he starts catching feelings almost immediately. Of course, instead of dealing with those emotions like an adult, he panics and ends up being a complete jerk to her.

Harper has her own issues, mainly abandonment. Her father walked out early, leaving her mom to work herself to the bone to provide for them. Because of that, Harper grew up believing that men never stay, so she learned to depend only on herself. Honestly, I admired that about her. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being self-sufficient, especially considering everything she’s been through.

While I liked both Leo and Harper — flaws and all — their relationship sometimes felt like a tennis match. Back and forth, back and forth. At times, it became a little repetitive. Yes, they both needed to work through their personal issues, but some of the constant internal battles dragged on longer than necessary for me.

The real saving grace was the Grizzlies team and all of the wives and girlfriends. Their constant banter, meddling, and support added the perfect dose of humor and warmth throughout the story. I also really enjoy seeing characters from previous books continue to pop up and play important roles in the newer stories.

Overall, this book was well written and hit a lot of the things I enjoy in a sports romance series: emotional moments, found family, humor, and plenty of chemistry. It can definitely be read as a standalone, but I think it’s even more enjoyable when the series is read in order.

MEET ELISE FABER.

USA TODAY bestselling author, ELISE FABER, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys. She lives in Northern California.

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Victoria

Being offered a job in a brand-new city wasn’t something I was planning on.

Neither was meeting him at a random hotel bar that same night.

We shared a drink, flirted, and then one thing led to another.

We exchanged first names, and I escaped the next morning with a quick goodbye.

I never expected to see him again.

I especially never expected him to come face-to-face with him at my brother’s house.

As the new coach of the team.

Zane

I was the youngest coach in the NHL.

I had to focus on one thing and one thing only.

My job.

It’s the only thing I had time for.

Until I came face-to-face with the stranger I thought I would never see again.

She’s off-limits in every sense of the word.

Not just because she’s younger than me.

She’s the sister to my star player.

AVAILABLE NOW.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Renee!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story has secrets, family, and love.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first.

Only For Tonight (Only For #1)

Only For Love (Only For #2)

Only For Him (Only For #3)

This is Victoria and Zane’s story. One chance meeting has them connecting. When they meet again, he realizes that she is his player’s little sister. The pull is still there but he is struggling with his coaching job and trying to figure out who is out to make him fail. Can he really chance another complication in his life? He tries to carry it all, but will it be too much or will she help him navigate everything and make him a better leader and a better man. Can he have the job and a future with the one woman he never expected?

I recommend this book.

MEET NATASHA MADISON.

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
