Synopsis:

Scarlett is always the sensible one: The sober driver. The planner. The one holding your hair back while you're worshiping the porcelain gods. 

Week-after-week, she visits Jock Row with her friends—the universities hottest party scene and breeding ground for student athletes. And if keeping her friends out of trouble, and guys out of their pants, was a sport, she'd be the star athlete. 

Being a well known jock-blocker gets her noticed for all the wrong reasons; just like that, she's banned from Jock Row. NO GUY WANTS A GIRL AROUND WHO KEEPS THEIR JOCK FRIENDS FROM GETTING LAID. 

"Rowdy" Wade is the hot shot short-stop for the university's baseball team—and the unlucky bastard who drew the short straw: keep little Miss Goody Two-Shoes out of the Baseball House. 

But week-after-week Scarlett returns, determined to get inside.

Review:

May 2018 is starting of with a bang for bookworms all over the world. Sara Ney's new series, Jock Hard, is here and this is a series you do not want to miss!! The men of Jock Row work hard, play hard and make the ladies fall hard. Be ready for a reading escape that will leave you wanting more!

In Jock Row, we are introduced to Scarlett and Rowdy. The captain of the baseball team is about to meet his match! The last thing he wants to do on a Friday night is to babysit Scarlett. She's trying to keep her friends away from the Jock Row men and they are not having it. As days go by, Scarlett and Rowdy share their Friday's together. Rowdy is falling hard and there is no way that he's letting her in the house to party with his teammates and the rest of crowd. He's keeping her all to himself.

I absolutely loved Scarlett and Rowdy from the very beginning. Finding a fast connection to both main characters is always a struggle for me. Rare are the times that two characters make me go gaga over them with just a few scenes. Sara Ney's characters always do that to me. They captivate me from beginning to end! They have a je-ne-sais-quoi that makes me want to jump in the book and hang out with them. 

Scarlett and Rowdy's chemistry was blazing hot!!! Their banter was absolutely amazing and their love story will linger with me for a long time. I liked how they fell into this cute routine that gave them the chance to get to know each other. Fun, flirty and sexy moments are guaranteed when these two play Never have I ever, text or simply spend time together.

What I absolutely love about Sara Ney is that her supporting cast of characters is as unforgettable as her main ones. Rowdy's mom completely stole my heart in this book. She was such a fun characters and the scenes that she shared with Scarlett and Rowdy brought a smile to my face. If you have not read anything by Sara Ney yet, you are seriously missing out on some amazing reading escapes! 

Rating:

I give, Jock Row, by Sara Ney 5 fun, sexy, unputdownable, I will see you next Friday stars!

Synopsis:

THERE ARE NO DOUCHEBAGS IN THIS STORY. 

Well, there are, but they’re not who this story is about. This story is about me—the coach’s daughter. When I moved to Iowa to live with my dad, the university's take-no-prisoners wrestling coach, I thought transferring would be easy as pie—living with my father would be temporary, and he'd make sure his douchebag wrestlers left me alone. 

Wrong on both counts. 

ASSHOLES ALWAYS COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGH. 

A bet is placed, and I'm on the table. After one humiliating night and too much alcohol, I find the last nice guy on campus. And when he offers to rent me his spare bedroom, I go all in. It’s time for the nice guy to finish first. 

Midnight chats and spilling my problems turn to lingering touches. Lingering touches turn to more. And the ultimate good guy has the potential do more damage than any douchebags ever could.

Excerpt:

She perks up. “Wait, you’ve never had a back massage?” 

“No?” 

“Ever?” 

“Nope.” 

“Well, what the hell? How can I, in good conscience, lie here letting you rub my back when you’ve never had anyone rub yours?” She scoots over, pointing to the mattress. “Lie on your stomach, I’ll do you first.” 

I wave my hands in front of me in protest. The last thing I need is her warm hands roaming my body. “No, no, you don’t have to. It’s not a big deal.” 

“Are you crazy? Back massages are the best—like, better than an orgasm. You’re first, so lie down.” 

“And you call me the bossy one?” 

“Quit stalling and get on the bed.” 

Obediently, I climb to the middle of my bed in nothing but a pair of gym shorts, legs hanging off the side. Next to me, the mattress dips, Anabelle on her knees, approaching my side. 

A finger glides down my spine. “It will be easier for me to do this if I’m sitting on you. Hope that’s okay.” 

“Is that the approved method?” 

“No, but my arms will get tired if I have to lean over you the whole time.” 

“Do whatever then, I don’t care.” 

I stiffen when Anabelle swings one leg over my body, straddling my ass. Warm palms at my lower back. 

“You’re so tense. Try to relax,” she coos, making it worse. “Tilt your head to the side, that’s it.” 

I hear the lotion bottle snap open. Click closed. My roommate’s palms rubbing together, warming it up. “Sorry, I don’t have any actual massage oil. This will have to do.” 

When her hands make contact with my back, I almost groan it feels so fucking good. Warm. Smooth. Pressure in all the right places, pushing gently into my muscles. 

Slowly. 

Slower still, caressing along my shoulders, thumbs and fingers working together to soothe the burning on my right side. 

“Doesn’t this feel great?” Her soft voice cuts into the silence. “You’re loosening up. That’s good.” 

I feel her leaning as her hands move up and down my spine until they stop, hovering at the base of my neck. Thumbs stroking the skin below my hairline, back and forth. 

Kneading. 

Her torso dips, hands maneuvering my arms, placing them at my sides. Palms slide up and down my biceps. 

For several minutes, she rubs my arms and shoulders. Then she skims down my ribcage unhurriedly, in no rush, making little humming sounds inside her throat. 

I know I’m not imagining the feather-light way her hands drift down my spine. I remain still, letting her touch me, basking in it. 

Remain still when her lips kiss the tender spot of my shoulder where it meets my neck, nose nuzzling behind my ear, her breasts rubbing against my back and what the fuck was that all about? What does she think she’s doing, trying to drive me insane?

Gah!!!!!!! I can't even deal with all the feels TCH just made me feel! This was one of my most anticipated books of 2018 and Sara Ney did not disappoint! With this series, you are left on the edge of your seat to find out who the hero will be. The first two books was different since we already knew who was the male leading character. Book three and four of this series is a total surprise until you start reading. 

The heroine and hero have absolutely stolen my heart! Their connection is heart-melting and I could not think of a better way to end my reading journey in The How to Date a Douchebag series. Sara Ney wrote a story that will make you laugh, cry and swoon! Her characters are unforgettable and each time I pick up one of her books, I feel like I'm reuniting with my friends. 

This story is packed with sexy, sweet, emotional and laugh out loud moments. This is a reading journey that will keep you glued to your seat until you read the very last page. There is no better feeling for a reader than to reunite with a sublime cast of characters and an author's writing style that leaves you gasping for what will happen next!

Synopsis:

Devil's Night is returning! Hiding places, chases, and all the games are back... 

Banks 

Buried in the shadows of the city, there’s a hotel called The Pope. Ailing, empty, and dark—it sits abandoned and surrounded by a forgotten mystery.



But you think it’s true, don’t you, Kai Mori? The story about the hidden twelfth floor. The mystery of the dark guest who never checked in and never checks out. You think I can help you find that secret hideaway and get to him, don’t you?



You and your friends can try to scare me. You can try to push me. Because even though I struggle to hide everything I feel when you look at me—and have ever since I was a girl—I think that maybe what you seek is so much closer than you’ll ever realize.



I will never betray him.



So sit tight.



On Devil’s Night, the hunt will be coming to you 

Kai

You have no idea what I seek, Little One. You don’t know what I had to become to survive three years in prison for a crime I would gladly commit again.



No one can know what I’ve turned into.



I want that hotel, I want to find him, and I want this over.



I want my life back.



But the more I’m around you, the more I realize this new me is exactly who I was meant to be.



So come on, kid. Don’t chicken out. My house is on the hill. So many ways in, and good luck finding your way out.



I’ve seen your hideaway. Time to see mine.

Lindy's Thoughts:

Penelope Douglas is such an amazing writer.  I always anticipate her stories with so much excitement and yearning to get my hands on them.  Hideaway has been a book that I have very impatiently been waiting for.  When it landed on my Kindle, I was ecstatic!!!

Corrupt is my favorite dark romance.  I loved becoming completely immersed and obsessed with Michael and Rika's story.  Kai was my favorite secondary character in Corrupt, and I was longing for his viewpoint.  I wanted to get into his head, and see him fall as hard as Michael had for Rika. I wanted to see the broken pieces of Kai's soul put back together...

Hideaway is the sequel to Corrupt, and must be read in sequential order.  We met the four horsemen in book one, Michael, Kai, Damon, and Will.  These four grew up together as best friends, and were inseparable.  They came from wealthy, privileged, broken families; and each had their own secrets, and deep layers of darkness.  Every year on Devil's Night, the night before Halloween, they liked to stir up mischief and mayhem.  This was the night every year, where they let their darkness and deepest desires take over.

In Hideaway, we got Kai and Banks' story. Kai, Michael, and Will are all looking for Damon.  They know that he is twisted and wants revenge on them.  Michael wants to protect Rika, and Kai must protect a secret that only Damon knows.  Banks is also looking for Damon, but for very different reasons.  She wants to make sure that he is safe and protected.  Her love and loyalty towards him is unconditional and unshakeable.  

Kai and Banks have shared unforgettable and life changing moments with one another in the past, but their paths were not destined to intersect; until now.  Pitted against one another, what will these two do when the longing and desire for one another continues to grow beyond their control?  What will happen when the four horseman, Rika, and Banks, are reunited?  

Hideaway was a little slow moving at the beginning, and took me more time to get into than Corrupt; but it was still an excellent read!  Banks was a strong female lead, with guts, sass, and an adventurous soul.  She was intelligent, loyal, street smart, and had suffered greatly in her young life.  She was rough around the edges, but very vulnerable and warm-hearted once you pierced through her tough exterior.  Kai was a strong male lead as well.  While he had a dark side, he ultimately had a strong moral code for defending and protecting others. He was loyal, and wanted to please and honor his family.  He especially wanted to be as great of a man as his father was, and make him proud.  Kai and Banks were both characters that I loved and rooted for.  The passion and chemistry between these two was intense, and the sexual tension and build-up with every interaction had me wanting for more and anticipating how it would all end. 

Hideaway was full of suspense, mystery, darkness, revenge, betrayal, passion, secrets, loyalty, friendship, and love.  I don't know how she does it, but Ms. Douglas is able to make her characters well-rounded and so very real.  They come to life right off of the page.  We are able to see all of their darkness and unlikeable qualities, but still love them for all the good they possess as well.  The next book in the story will be, Kill Switch, which will be Damon's story.  I can't wait for the plot to thicken.  Especially, since we have been given insight in to why he is the most twisted and dark character of them all.  This segment has shown us some of his redeeming qualities, and I have hope that he will be able to heal and become a better person. 

Rating:

I give, Hideaway, by Penelope Douglas, 4.5 Sensual, Passionate, Intense, Surprising, Redemption Filled Stars!  

Mikki's Review:

Devil's Night is BACKKKKK!!! 

I have been waiting for Kai's book since the moment I turned the last page of Corrupt. He completely stole a piece of my heart in Corrupt and counting down the days to this release has been such a fun experience. Sitting at the edge of my seat waiting for my most anticipated book of the year. I could not wait to find out what secrets Kai was keeping and who was the mystery girl that would turn his world upside down.  

You absolutely need to read Corrupt before Hideaway. This is a series that you want to read from the very beginning to understand the dark and twisted world of the four horsemen. If you have not started this series yet, you are seriously missing out! Penelope Douglas created a world that I want to visit over and over again. Her characters are captivating and the events that happen on Devil's Night are pretty intense! There is so much I would like to say about Hideaway. This story gave me all the feels!!! Penelope Douglas exceeded all of my expectations! Hideaway was my most anticipated book of 2017 and she delivered a story that will keep me prisoner of her words for a very long time. Corrupt left me with a book hangover that lasted well over a month. Hideaway will be exactly the same. 

I don’t want to say too much about what happens in the book because every fan of this series should experience the same kind of feels that I did. Going into the book with little info about where the author’s words are about to transport us. Be prepared to be shocked by the secrets that will be revealed in this story. I was left speechless a few times and still go back to read some scenes because I was like Whoooaaaa?!?!?! What I will tell you is that Banks and Kai have completely stolen my heart! Their chemistry was undeniable and their love story was perfectly imperfect. Michael, Kai, Damon and Will all have a special place in my heart, but Kai really stole the top spot with his book. The chase between him and Banks was deliciously addictive and unforgettable. Banks is the kind of heroine I love to cheer for. She’s strong and confident. She takes her place in the story and Kai had no idea what was heading his way. 

Hideaway is filled with old characters who you will continue to cheer for, new characters you will want to learn more about and a story that will linger with you for many days after you have turned the last page. This romantic suspense kept me on the edge of my seat until the end! The little teaser at the end of Hideaway for Kill Switch, which will be the third book in the Devil’s Night Series, was a jaw-dropping little piece of bookworm heaven. I can’t even deal!!! I’m so excited to read it! 2018 can’t come soon enough!

Rating:

I give, Hideaway, by Penelope Douglas, 5 wild, chill inducing,  sensational, all-consuming stars!
