Jessica Lemmon - Eye Candy review

I was so excited to dive into this book from Jessica Lemmon. If it has her name on it, I know it's going to be good! This book was so fun and easy to get lost in. It hooked me right away and I was taken by Jacqueline and Vince. They had built up an easy friendship and because of their dating/marriage situations upon first meeting, that's all it ever was. So they had a solid foundation behind them when things started to shift. And it was one that was so delicious and utterly sweet that I found myself swooning many times through this read. THE FEELS were real, ya'll! This book moved (too) quickly for me as I wanted to stay immersed in their world. If you need a fun, sweet and sassy friends to lovers read, GRAB THIS BOOK! It's soooo good! 







Don't trust lust at first sight. A “bubbly and sizzling rom-com” with a light love triangle and an absolutely swoon-worthy hero.

Every morning, a gorgeous mystery man jogs by Jacqueline Butler’s office window, tempting her to break her “no dating” rule. She’s good with ogling him from afar, but her best friend-slash-colleague Vince Carson suggests she do more than stare—he wants her to ask the runner out.

Vince knows his best friend Jackie better than she knows herself, and the last thing she needs is a date with a pompous, swole jackass. But after being friend-zoned big-time, Vince can’t exactly ask her out himself. Encouraging her to pursue a guy who is all muscle and no substance will not only get Jackie off the bench, but will also open her eyes to the fact that Vince is the right man for her.

Vince takes Jackie on practice dates, promising to help her hone her skills, but can’t resist edging the fake romance into reality. After a ridiculously epic kiss, Jackie sees a sexier side of Vince, and suddenly anything is possible…

“Truly the perfect romantic comedy—the banter made me grin, the sexual tension had me breathless, and the perfect happy ending left me smiling long after the book was done.”—New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne

Kristen Proby - The Score review

I thought this book was so fun and sweet to get lost in! I have only read a couple books from the With Me in Seattle series, so while I knew of Sophie's family, I didn't have the deep dive into the family. That being said, I totally felt like I knew who was who and I had no trouble keeping up! Sophie has grown up around fame. She herself has quite the social media following. When she and Ike run into each other, they are drawn to one another. Fame has no place between them. I liked how realistic this book felt and I could feel the emotions through the page. Sophie has a strong-knit family and they look out for one another. Ike isn't so lucky in the family department, but he's lucky to have Sophie in his life. I liked the ease between them and how well they meshed. I was rooting for them and didn't want this book to end!




An all-new meet-cute sports romance from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kristen Proby, featuring Sophie Montgomery!

I have millions of followers on social media, and it has absolutely nothing to do with my last name. It’s because I’m good at what I do. I work hard, and it has paid off. I’m not a trainer who only talks the talk, either. I walk the walk—or rather, I run the run. It was actually during one of those jogs through the park that I ran into him.

Of course, at the time, I didn’t realize it was the Isaiah “Ike” Harrison, Seattle’s hot new quarterback. All I knew was that I was suddenly pinned under some solid, sexy body, unable to breathe.

But even now, I keep running into Ike in the most unexpected places.

And he’s doing everything in his power to convince me that he’s not just a player—in any form of the word. It’s so much more than that.

But I’ve been there, done that. I have the mended broken heart to prove it and have no intention of doing it again.

Except the frustrating man is convincing, and my walls are quickly lowering—especially when I feel responsible for possibly upending his career.

Is letting him in a mistake? Or will it be the best thing I’ve ever done?

Roni Loren - Good Girl Fail review

Holy hotness, Batman! This book was sooooooooooo steamy.  I think my kindle may have caught fire :) I couldn't put it down. I was lost in ALL. THE. FEELS. O'Neal has been sheltered her whole life, until she takes a chance on herself and her chains break free. She's learning about who she is, and what she really wants. She's comfortable with Auden and has been attracted to him for some time now. When the opportunity presents itself, neither one can ignore the chemistry. And Auden's best friend Lennox is cheering her on as well. And, maybe things are more than what they seem... This book was SO GOOD! I can't recommend it enough and be prepared not to be able to do anything as this book will consume you! 





From the
New York Times bestselling author of the Loving on the Edge and the Say Everything series comes a new steamy standalone MMF romance that proves good girls can have fun too...especially when she's their good girl.

O’Neal Lory has been taught that one mistake can undo an entire life of right decisions. That it doesn’t matter if a person has been good ninety-nine percent of the time. One misstep, one snap judgment, can derail everything. So, she’s taken a lot of right steps on the straight and narrow path. Eighteen years of them, in fact. Perfect grades. No rules broken. And definitely no boys.

Until she kisses him.

Auden Blake knows he shouldn’t touch his little sister’s best friend, knows that innocent girls like her should stay far, far away from him and his roommate Lennox—especially when she could reveal their behind-closed-doors activities to his family. But when sheltered O’Neal goes rogue, ditching her scholarship to a conservative all-girls college and showing up at Bennette State—his school—instead, it’s going to take everything Auden has to keep his and Lennox’s hands off the curious good girl whose teach me vibes could unravel them both.

Good Girl Fail is a full-length standalone MMF romance with lots of steam, two heroes who like to share and get a little bossy, and a good girl heroine who’s about to break every rule that’s ever been placed upon her.

Meghan Quinn - A Long Time Coming review

 


“I think about you every second of every day, Lia. I want you more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life.”

A LONG TIME COMING, a brand new sexy, friends-to-lovers standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinnis now available in all formats, including the illustrated hardcover edition


 Friends to Lovers
 Forbidden
 Billionaire Romance
 Quirky Heroine
 Steamy Scenes


Get ready to fall in love with this unassuming, smoking hot billionaire and his beautiful, quirky best friend he’s destined forOne-click your copy of this sexy, laugh-out-loud romance full of charm and heat today!





From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a witty take on a romantic comedy classic, My Best Friend's Wedding. Steamy, laugh-out-loud, and full of charm, these two best friends heat up the pages while proving true love might be right in front of you.

Have you ever heard of a man-in-waiting?

Yeah, neither has my best friend's soon-to-be monster-in-law. Ooo, sorry, I meant mother-in-law. Nor has she heard of the term, what the bride wants, the bride gets

With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands. 

The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light.

She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.

And before I know what's happening, it hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm in love with my best friend. Not just in love, butinfatuated. 

No one compares to her and nothing seems to distract me from that realization.

Not the girl I try to date while I help plan Lia's wedding. 

Not her angry fiancé who thinks I'm growing too close. 

And not the looming deadline of her nuptials. 

Which means, there's only one thing left for me to do. Prove to Lia I'm the one she should be with instead. But with the pressure of her engagement, the stress from her soon-to-be mother-in-law, and the breath-stealing nerves running through me, I'm finding it a lot harder to claim the girl than I would like to admit. 

Say a little prayer for me . . .

Marina Adair - Faux Beau review

This was a GREAT book from Marina Adair! I didn't want to put this book down! I LOVED Jax and Milly. They were different personalities but they worked so well together. I'm a sucker for a good fake relationship. And this one was unique and fun to get lost in! I loved the banter between Jax and Milly and while her sister was the reason she was making adventurous decisions, she was still Milly and doing things her way. Milly had been worried about everyone else and suddenly it was time to determine what SHE needed. Jax was her biggest supporter and was there for her when she needed it. Likewise, she easily cheered him on. I couldn't read this book fast enough and I HIGHLY recommend! Such a feel good read!




Who said a one-night-stand can’t last forever…

Self-appointed hall-monitor of life, Milly Smartt is ready to take some chances and live life balls-to-the-wall. After all, it was her sister’s dying wish for Milly to chase happy, which is the only reason she accepts a dare to kiss a random stranger in a bar. Only the stranger isn’t a stranger at all—in fact, she’s pretty sure it’s her childhood crush, Lucas Macintyre. And when one kiss turns into a passion filled night, Milly couldn’t be happier—until she discovers she slept with Jaxon Macintyre—Luca’s playboy of a twin brother.

Professional snowboarder and self-proclaimed bachelor, Jax Macintyre has a gold medal in one-night-stands. No fake promises, no morning after, and definitely no meeting the family. Only when Milly’s parents stage a surprise visit, he’s caught with his pants down—literally. He’s ready to climb out the window if necessary, when Milly introduces him as his twin brother, Lucas. Even worse, she panics and, rather than come clean about their no-strings fling, she tells her parents that he’s her boyfriend. Jax isn’t looking for a plus-one in life, especially a too peppy, too sunshiny, hopeless romantic who wears Mr. Darcy lingerie. But when he finds himself in a logistical nightmare heading up a snowboarding competition for his family’s lodge, he approaches her with a proposition. He’ll go along with this faux-mance until her parents leave town and, in exchange, she’ll help him plan the perfect competition.

How hard can it be? A few appearances, maybe a date or two, easy-peasy. Only once word gets around that they’re dating, everyone has an opinion. Milly’s mom is practically planning the wedding, Jax’s family is inviting them over for dinner, and his siblings are finally seeing him as a reliable part of the lodge’s team. Then after an impromptu kiss intended for show, the fake begins to fade into something more real. Only Milly’s parents are leaving town, the event is coming to a close, and Jax is ready to jump back into the competition circuit, rendering their deal unnecessary. Will they abide by the original agreement, or will they chase happy?

Faux Beau is a hilarious, pee-your-pants romcom featuring a swoon-worthy self-proclaimed boy-toy, a mistaken identity, and a fantasy of a one-night-stand, which leads to a fake relationship that will make you fall in love. It's book 1 in a series, but can be read as a standalone, and is guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and bring all the feels in-between.

Faux Beau is a mistaken identity, one-night-stand, friends-to-lovers, fake relationship romcom with no cheating, no triggers and a satisfying happily ever after.

Kelly Elliott - Someone to Love review

 


Someone to Love by Kelly Elliott is now live!



On the Hook

Seasiders,

News on the beach is Braxton Bradley has caught the eye of Seaside's very own darling, Harlee Tilson. Now, this might come as a shock to many of you, since the eldest Bradley sibling has been rumored to have made a vow to never marry. After all, his fishing charter has always been his number one love.

A little crab might have informed me that Braxton and Harlee were seen in a rather...intimate embrace only two nights ago on the Seaside Pier! The scandal of it all since Harlee is fresh off a breakup with Thomas Minor...who happens to be Braxton's BFF! Did I mention scandal?

Could it be true? Could Braxton and Harlee be an item? One has to wonder what poor Thomas must think of this new development.

Stay tuned, my fishes...more to come!

Fair winds and following seas!

My Review

I LOOOOOVED this book! I was excited to get Braxton's and Harlee's story! Based on the other books in the series, the reader knows there's SOMETHING between these two. We just didn't know WHAT! I was very quickly sucked in and didn't want to leave Seaside. This book had ALL. THE. FEELS. and I enjoyed getting their story. I found myself smiling often and I was pulling for them and I honestly didn't want this book to EVER end!
