For readers who love a heartwarming romance and a rich historical setting comes a tale of a young woman with a heavy burden, the International Cotton Exposition, and the pursuit of true love. Eighteen-year-old Laurel Millard, youngest of seven children, is expected to stay home and "take care of Mama" by her older siblings, but Laurel has dreams of starting her own family. Operating a silk loom at the Atlanta Exposition will give her the chance to capture the heart of a man wealthy enough to take care of Laurel and any children she might bear, as well as her mother. Langdon Rochester's parents have given him an ultimatum: settle down with a wife or lose his family inheritance. At the Exposition, Langdon meets Laurel. Marrying her would satisfy his parents's command, she would look lovely on his arm for social events, and in her besotted state, he believes she would overlook him continuing pursuing rowdy adventures with his unmarried buddies. Langdon decides to woo Laurel. Willie Sharp is not well-off and must take on an extra job at the Atlanta Exposition as a security guard. When mischief-makers cause trouble in the Women's Building, Willie is put in charge of keeping the building secure. He enjoys visiting with Laurel, who seems like the little sister he never had, but his feelings for Laurel change to something much deeper. Can Willie convince Laurel that he can give her better life--even with so little to offer?Binding Type: Paperback

Gay but not out
Format: Kindle
At a time when five women of the US national soccer team are out, Sage Bryson is struggling. A star player, but out of the squad with injury, she stumbles into a secret attraction to a dorky zoo events co-ordinator. Willa. The feeling is mutual but lacks Sage's long term commitment.
A series of some unusual, but amusing, situations draws them together. But commitment fears on both sides keeps them apart. Clever writing with some amusing one-liners, the story bumps along the 'will she, won't she' road, with occasional cliff hangers. A good read.

Great chemistry and inspirational!
Format: Kindle
Injured World Cup and Olympic soccer star Sage Carson meets up with sweet Willa Bellamy, an events coordinator for the Denver Zoo, at their fifteen high school reunion. Both seemingly out of their elements they ditch it to go out for pizza at the favorite high school joint and develop a mutually satisfying plan as fake girlfriends. Sage needs to be seen with Willa to help improve her messy rebellious persona while Willa needs a date to her ex's wedding and bachelorette weekend.
Not only was this story beautifully crafted with Bryce's wonderful dialogue, sense of humor and flirty interactions, but the development of the characters, including secondary, grew throughout the book.
I loved the impact Willa had on Sage just by being her authentic self and I loved the belief Willa had in Sage to think beyond her career as a soccer star. They were good for each other, truly seeing each other's finest capabilities. I enjoyed the settings of the beach, soccer world and zoo, but it was their beautiful journey together that made this book so good. I highly recommend it!

What a delightful fake romance story.
Format: Kindle
Will a is nice to the point of everyone taking advantage of her. Sage is so wrapped up in herself she can't see how lost she has become. These two make a much needed contract to fake a relationship for personal connection. The characters are are funny, have an instant attraction and spend months trying to avoid feelings. Bryce Oakley gives a great no fake angst story about mutual attraction that brings friendship and an inner strength to the MC. It is so fun to read with moments that will touch your heart. I am never disappointed with this authors writing.

Goooolllaaazzzooo!
Format: Kindle
A love story starring a fictional USWNT player?! I was sold. The writing was flowed and never took me out of the story. The characters felt pretty real, which is always appreciated. The details of the soccer world made me smile. It made my heart happy to read about this fictional player finding love. Stans of couples in the USWNT and NWSL will adore Willa and Sage's cuteness. Overall, very enjoyable and would highly recommend💜
