Title: Body Checked by the Defenseman
Series: Riverside U #2
Author: R.C. Stephens
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Brother's Best Friend/Forbidden
College Hockey/Virgin Heroine
Release Date: November 21, 2024


BLURB

Ruby Foxx is the only girl I’ve ever wanted… and she’s completely off-limits.

Her brother is my teammate and best friend. They’re my family. We grew up across the hall, sharing a secret connection I’ve tried hard to forget.

But I never crossed the line—not then, and not when we came to Riverside U—I’ve kept my distance.

Until her dorm floods, and she moves into the hockey house. Now, there’s nowhere to hide. Ruby’s always around, and my feelings are hitting harder than a body check on the ice.

Then she confesses she’s never been with a man… and asks me to change that.

I can’t just take what she’s offering—I need to make it special—something she’ll never regret.

I promise to take my time and teach her, but I’m the one getting schooled because I’m falling fast.

The guilt is like a slap shot, knowing I’m betraying my best friend—my family—by falling in love with her.

I know I should skate away, but after tasting happiness with Ruby, I can’t let her go.

What if, by holding on, I lose everything—on and off the ice?

Jolie
Griffin Campbell was the typical bad boy. My father warned me not to get too close. But he’s handsome as hell with eyes the color of the ocean, and he’s fiercely loyal and loves unconditionally.

Jolie Bryant was my best friend’s little sister. She’s sexy as hell, sweet as sin, and very forbidden—my favorite memory and my biggest regret.
I should stay away. I’m harboring secrets that will shatter her world.
The thing about secrets is that they always find a way to come out. I just hope that when mine do, she won’t turn away from me . . .
I want my second chance with the only girl I’ve ever loved, but it seems that fate has other plans.

Excerpt

I throw my head back, laughing and happy that playful Jojo is back. “I remember the first time we kissed,” I say, looking into her eyes. She swallows. Her earlier playfulness falls away and is replaced with a serious, heated stare. “I remember the first time we danced.” My finger caresses the bare skin of her shoulder, and her green eyes go from shining emerald to a dark forest green. 
“Griff,” she whispers a warning.
“I want to kiss you so bad.” My voice is gruff and filled with a need that far outweighs any craving for gelato. I don’t wait for her answer because the way she watches me has me undone.
My lips press to hers slowly, a soft caress, a begging for permission. Her fingers come up and rake through my hair, tugging me closer. My tongue peeks from my mouth, begging entrance to hers as she opens willingly. 
The kiss is slow and testing at first. I’m scared of pushing too hard and having her pull away. She says she doesn’t want more, but the chemistry between us beats alive and strong. Her taste sets my body on fire as a million memories come crashing through my mind. Electricity sparks inside me, making me feel alive for the first time in what feels like forever. And now, with a simple kiss, I have come undone. My lonely heart beats in time with hers. My thumb brushes over the pulse point in her neck, and it thumps wild like mine.
“Jolie,” I say her name like a prayer.
“What are we doing?” she murmurs into my mouth.
“What feels right,” I answer into hers. Primal instinct begs me to take her on this kitchen counter and make her mine. My fingers pull at her scalp and she moans into my mouth, and my hard-on pulses to her sweet noises. The kiss intensifies until we are both breathless and panting when suddenly, she pulls away from me, pressing her hands to my shoulders.

As far back as R.C. Stephens can remember she was a sucker for a good romance. Of course there had to be a prince charming even if he ultimately was a dark knight and there had to be a happy ending.

She watched the movie Dirty Dancing way too many times growing up and Jean Claude Van Damme movies too. Go figure!

After years of saying she would write a book one day, she finally put pen to paper and carved out the plot line for what would eventually become the best selling Twisted Series. Now R.C. is just finishing up her seventh book and can't seem to stop the stories running through her mind.

Review - Dick by R.C. Stephens


Title: Dick: A Bad Boys Novel
Author: R.C. Stephens
Release Date: April 25, 2016


My name is Dixon Crawford—my friends call me Dick. 

I’m rich, divorced and I have two small kids. 

When it comes to women, I like to play the field. I don’t want to ever be tied down again. 

I met Eden at a Presidential gala and, yes, I was intrigued. When school started in September I was shocked to learn Eden was my son’s kindergarten teacher…

I’d slept around with the lonely rich mothers at the school and had earned a reputation.

A reputation Eden knew about…

Eden was on the untouchable list—the band on her finger screamed, “I'm taken.” But when she got into trouble with her husband she asked me for help and I obliged.

I soon discovered that innocent Eden had secrets of her own. I also discovered she was beyond tempting. Giving her a little friendly help turns into something bigger than I ever imagined….

My name is Dick. I'm told I'm an asshole, but you will need to read my story and decide for yourself!





 

You know when a story is titled Dick, it has to be good. And this story certainly was. It wasn’t what I was expecting—it was better!

Dixon, aka Dick, is a ladies man, a player, and a single father. He knows he’s an asshole and likes it that way. 

Eden is a kindergarten teacher with a son of her own, but is living in a loveless marriage with her rich husband, Blythe. 

The two meet at a presidential gala and are instantly attracted to one another. But they don’t act on it. Eden wouldn’t cheat on her husband, even if he cheats on her. And Dick is a once and done man. 

However, the two meet again at his son’s school where she is the teacher. 

“Damn him. Of all the men I could be attracted to, I’ve chosen to obsess over the school player.”

The attraction is still there and the sexual tension between them is hot! When Eden needs help, she doesn’t have anyone else to turn to and goes to Dixon for help. 

“I know I shouldn’t want you, but I do. I want you so bad it hurts. If I looked irritated, it’s only because I haven’t been able to fuck anyone else.”

There are lots of secrets, feelings, and emotions revealed throughout this story. Like I said in the beginning, it was so much more than I expected. I expected a hot story and this definitely had some steam to it, but there was also love and hope. There was family, friendship, and second chances. 

I loved the secondary characters, Ma, Ge, and Jenna, and of course, all of the children. I certainly hope Ge and Jenna get a book next! While I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it did at times go back and forth a little too much for me. Overall, though, I adored this story and look forward to more from this author! 
~ Review by Tiffany

Dixon, AKA Dick, is a billionaire. However, he is not your typical suit-wearing billionaire. He is more comfortable in jeans and hanging out with his two kids. 

Eden, the wife of another, is in a loveless marriage, and as things escalate she knows she needs to get out. 

I really liked this book. I didn’t fall as hopelessly in love with it as I was hoping. Dick could be a dick, but not as much as he kept implying. He really was a big softy when it came to Eden. I guess I was hoping to see more of his alpha “dick” side. 

Eden was very sweet. She faced some very tough choices in this book, and I think they were handled very well. And when the secrets she has been keeping come to light, you can almost feel the nerves she has. She surprised me with her strength at times. She was by no means a weak woman, but she stood tall when others would bow their heads and slink away. 

Overall the story was good, and I enjoyed reading it. There were some scenes that had me clenching my thighs, and some that had me laughing out loud. 

I would very much like to read more from this author.
