Release Blitz: The Substitute by J.R. ray and Andi Jaxon

Competing with my step-brother for my roommates attention makes me hate him so much more than I already do.

The Substitute, an all-new grumpy x sunshine, step-brother, MMM hockey romance from bestselling authors Andi Jaxon and J.R. Gray is now available!

I saved his life the same night I burned mine to the ground and now the guy who’s haunted my dreams for months is my new roommate. This should be great except I met him on the worst night of his life and all he sees is that I’m a hockey player.

Only made worse when my cocky, confident, infuriating step-brother, Savage, decides to flirt with Tobi to get under my skin.

Jealousy eats at me when I see life coming back into Tobi’s eyes when he smiles at his phone.

Savage knows it too, pushing me into competing for Tobi until my head is so twisted I don’t know what or who I want anymore.

Now I have to see his pretty face at my door and on the ice.

I can’t have my dream and both of them. The media will eat me alive.

Right?

Do you like emotional reads? What about a steamy MMM? Then you definitely need to read this one. It practically gave me whiplash in a good way. I was all over the boards with the emotions it brought out, and that includes wanting to slap a couple of heads together, which is never a bad thing in a book. LOL. The Substitute is well-written and I loved the character development. It wasn't always an easy read and I found myself wincing a time or two, but it was really good. One I highly recommend you read today!
