Title: Loving the Linebacker

Series: Charleston Pirates

Author: Jacob Chance

Genre: Sports Romance (stand alone)

Release Date: October 21, 2022

Cover Design: Sybil Wilson/Popkitty Design

Muscular, tattooed, and bearded, Ace Carney is intimidating as hell and my opposite in every way.

With his piercing gray eyes and gruff demeanor, he reminds me of the wolf shifters from my favorite romance novels.

Unfortunately, this is real life, not fiction. There’s no way one of the NFL’s top linebackers would fall for a klutzy future aerospace engineer—I’m not that lucky.

With graduation only months away, my focus should be on maintaining my grades. Yet, the moments Ace and I spend together prove that below his grumpy exterior lies the heart of a gentle giant.

We’re at different points in our lives. He’s approaching the end of his career and mine’s about to begin.

I shouldn’t let myself fall in love with the linebacker. But falling never felt so good.

Jacob Chance grew up in New England and still lives there today. He’s a martial artist, a football fan, a practical joker, and junk food lover.

A USA Today bestselling author of sports romance and romantic suspense, Jacob plans on writing many more stories.

Title: Hometown Hitman

Series: Hitman #2

Author: Jacob Chance

Genre: Romantic Suspense Standalone

Release Date: August 21, 2022

Cover Design: Shephard Originals

I never planned to return to Albans Cove, until a family emergency has me rushing back home for the first time in fifteen years.

Everything’s the same in the small, quirky lake town—everything except the shy girl I left behind.

As the owner of the local inn and bar, Whitney Morgan has grown into the confident spitfire I always imagined she’d be. Seeing her again stirs up old memories, and the feelings I thought I’d buried long ago have resurfaced.

But I’m not the same naive, young boy she remembers.

I’m a man with a deadly past that’s followed me home and a present that’s placing everyone I care about in harm’s way.

With death lurking at every turn, how do I win back the heart of the woman I’m once again falling for while eliminating the imminent peril coming for us all?

RHR REVIEW by Vicki RHR RATING 4*/5

‘Whitney Morgan was the one good thing I remember about my time in Albans Cove’ (Lynch)

As the blurb states, 15 years has passed since Lynch (who featured in Bk1) and Whitney were together, and having to return to his hometown, their reconnection comes alongside other elements to the plotline, which made it one crazy, fast paced, with LOL moments, mixed in with some suspense tale!
Not to give much away as to how it all unfolds, it’s DUAL POV’s, and the addition of new characters, who could be potential future stories, it was an entertaining read!

His eyes. God, his eyes. A true gold with dark brown rings. His hair was a dark dirty blonde, the top half pulled back in a ponytail and the scruff on his face was slightly darker. Slouched back as he was in the boxy chair, his stomach didn’t protrude, showing he was fit. He was a big guy anyway, and Carrie estimated he would tower over her five-foot seven-inch height even with the added bonus of the four-inch heels she wore. He had to be a big guy as the huge cock he freed from his jeans indicated.

Those eyes stared into hers for a long moment. Something let go in her middle. He wouldn’t hurt her. She didn’t know why she thought that. There was nothing in his gaze that indicated compassion or pity or any other emotion. Snake eyes, some people might call them, but there was something that called to her.

A full shot glass appeared in her line of vision and she leaned back to take it from Angel’s hand. She looked up into his eyes and tossed back the liquor, taking away his taste. It burned a long path to her stomach. She didn’t like it and avoided drinking as much as she did the drugs, but she thought if she refused, Grizzly would take it as an offense and make her do something or someone else. Angel tucked himself back in his pants. His expression was unreadable. Blank. He came, but he might as well have been a statue for all the emotion he showed. Angel? More like a stone gargoyle.

I’ve had stories in my head since I was a child.  All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured my interest.  I’m a voracious reader, and have spent many hours in my life devouring books, therefore it’s only fitting I should write a few myself!  

I’ve spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn’t mean I’m pigeon-holed into one mold.  I’ve been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring.  As one of my students said to me once, “Life’s too short to ignore the opportunities.”   I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world.  I hope you enjoy it!

Title: Coaching the Kicker

Series: Charleston Pirates #4

Author: Jacob Chance

Genre: Sports Rom/Com

Release Date: June 17, 2022

Cover Design: Sybil Wilson/Popkitty Design

When I purchased a home in an upscale neighborhood, I never imagined having one of the Charleston Pirates living next door.

Knox Irons knows just how to push my buttons. Every part of him rubs me the wrong way—well, not quite every part.

So imagine my surprise when Mr. Tall, Dark, and Infuriating comes to me for help with his kicking. I want to say no, but the desperation in his dark gaze has me agreeing all too soon.

Being around Knox while he’s bare chested and sweaty is challenging. But the way he listens and responds to my instruction is downright intoxicating.

I keep reminding myself, no matter how well we work together on the football field, he’s still my enemy when we’re off it.

I’m only here to coach the kicker, not crush on him.

RHR REVIEW by Vicki RHR RATING 5*/5

Told in DUAL POV’s, there is plenty of banter between Delaney and Knox , chemistry that’s evident from their first meeting, again a good mix of sports detail alongside, and with recurring characters, appearing with new ones, it’s got LOL moments, heat, a sweet Epilogue, it was another very enjoyable, well written story that is easily read as a standalone, while also an edition to the series.
I LOVED IT and look forward to the next one.

Sheila Kell writes about the romantic men who leave women’s hearts pounding with a happily ever after built on memorable, adrenaline-pumping stories. Or, (since her editor tries to cut down on her long-windedness) simply “Smokin’ Hot Romance & Intrigue.” Her debut novel, His Desire (HIS Series #1), launched as an Amazon #1 romantic suspense bestseller and Top 100 overall, later winning the Readers’ Favorite award for best romantic suspense novel.

As a Southern girl who has left behind her days with the United States Air Force and as a University Vice President, she can usually be found nestled in the Mississippi woods, where she lives with her cats and all the strays that magically find her front door. When she isn’t writing, you can find Sheila with her nose in a good book, dealing with the woodland critters who enjoy her back porch, or wishing she had a genie to do her bidding.

Blurb:

From USA Today bestselling author Logan Chance comes a deliciously dirty standalone about a pirate, a mafia princess being kidnapped, and a second chance at love.

A ruthless pirate.

A mafia queen.

A kidnapping that leads to a second chance at love.

They say a pirate is only after one thing… treasure.

Yet not all treasure is silver and gold, and I’ll stop at nothing to make Bianca Amato mine.

We grew up together, and she was destined to rule the mafia kingdom her father created. But I had other plans. I left their life of crime, their empire, for one of my own—out on the sea.

But I’ve returned, and I’m here for one thing…her.

When I learn Bishop Blackstone wants Bianca kidnapped, I swoop in to do the deed for him. He’ll never know what I’m really after.

Or her.

I’ll keep her safe– in my bed, but at arm’s length.

Yet, when danger threatens to destroy us both, I’ll walk any plank to protect her.

They say pirates never fall for the princess, but I’m willing to prove them wrong.

RHR REVIEW by Vicki RHR RATING 4*/5

This story had a lot of elements that I really liked, a recap to the initial concept of the series that is good for those who have read the previous, yet makes it easily followed as a standalone.
Bianca and Costi have a childhood history that we get an insight to, and events that change their lives at age 15 set up how the story develops 10 years down the line when the threat of Bishop Blackstone brings them together again. The chemistry between Bianca and Costi certainly heats up, and the connection that formed in their past never really went away. Told in DUAL POV’s, it’s a fairly fast paced read, with a twist along the way that I didn’t expect! Recurring characters and the introduction of a new one, who I think may get their own story at some point, adding that there are still a couple of books still to come, it will be interesting to see how the series will be concluded.

Title: Tempting the Baller

Series: Charleston Pirates #3

Author: Jacob Chance

Genre: Sports Romance

Release Date: March 25, 2022

Cover Design: Sybil Wilson/Popkitty Design

Being a running back for the Charleston Pirates and a single father doesn’t allow for much free time. But an invite to spend the Fourth of July weekend in the Hamptons with friends is an offer too good to refuse.

While there, the opportunity for a no-strings hookup with a stunning brunette presents itself and I jump at the chance. At the end of the weekend Leah will return to Boston and we’ll never see each other again.

Now, with the pre-season about to begin, a shoulder injury has me sidelined. I’m sent to work with the team’s new athletic trainer and come face to face with Leah, my Hamptons hookup—and our chemistry is as explosive as ever.

The no-fraternization clause in our contracts should keep us from acting on our mutual attraction, but the close proximity my rehab requires makes her damn near impossible to resist.

My five-year-old son is my priority and I can’t risk losing my job. No matter what, this baller won’t give in to temptation.

At least that’s what I tell myself.

RHR REVIEW by Vicki RHR RATING 5*/5

The blurb states enough, and once again, I got fully into the story right from the start! Told in DUAL POV’s, there is the great attention to detail of the sports side along with the developing attraction between Leah and Levi from their first meeting at the Fourth of July Hampton’s get together that featured in the previous book ,which had some LOL moments and plenty of heat! add in the adorable ‘Three’ (Levi’s 5yr old son), a little drama along the way to the HEA, it was an enjoyable read, and a great addition to the series.
