Let me start by saying that this was one of my favorite series ever! I have loved all the characters and each of their journey’s. Gavin and Whitley are no different. Cruel King is a fake relationship, friends to lovers story. If you read Cruel Kiss, the prequel, you got a sneak peak at their story. I couldn’t put the book down from the first page to the last it gripped me.
The Narrators did a great job bringing this story to life. I just didn’t want it to end.
Gavin was the ultimate playboy, rich and not looking to settle down until he met his match with Whitley. Whitley had gone from one relationship to another but always on her terms. Together they were always comfortable. Why not pretend to be together to get everyone to stop bothering them. True feelings might have to be revealed.
When Whitley gets some bad news, the two go from pretend fiancés to actually getting married.
I just loved Whitley. She is independent and does what she wants.
You can read this as a standalone but you should read the series to truly appreciate the brilliance of this series. Another winner from K.A. Linde!

Right Man, Right Time was amazing! I just fell in love with Silas and Ollie. This was a fake relationship, sports romance. I just absolutely loved this story.
Silas has been hurt before and has trust issues. Ollie thinks he’s cute, and decides to kiss him. When Silas finds out his ex will be working for his team, he thinks Ollie is the perfect cover. The two decide they can help each other.
This story had so many fun moments, heartfelt moments and moments that just make you smile.
Ollie is much younger than Silas, but so mature. She brings life back to him, and opens up a whole other side to him. His friends all see it, his game is great and the two are so fun together.
Ollie just fits right in. She helps to heal Silas, and makes him feel again. She was everything he didn’t think he wanted and more.
This series I have just loved, and getting to see the characters again makes it so fun.
You don’t want to miss this next one from Meghan. It’s one of my favorites!

Keep this Promise is the last book in the Rose Canyon series. Sophie and Holden will steal your heart. This is a second chance story not to be missed. A drunken night in Vegas is how it started, and a family to be is how it ends. Together these two face adversity but know they are meant to be.

Sophie doesn’t know what is going on. Her husband tells her she must leave, not ask questions, follow instructions and just go as he lays on his death bed. She leaves behind her love, her best friend and takes her daughter and goes.
Holden remembers Sophie from their one night stand in Vegas and soon realizes Eden is his. That same spark is still there, but will they pick up where they left off?

There is mystery and suspense as the story unfolds and they find out why Sophie was told to go, what her husband was hiding and who was behind it. There are little clues along the way, and many of the characters from other stories and roles which is always nice to see. Eden and Mama James are great side characters.

I really enjoyed this book and these characters. This book has it all and more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can’t even put into words how much I loved this book. My favorite in the series so far. Presley and Bennett were everything. Mine To Love by Natasha Madison was filled with love, family and so many emotions.
Presley is afraid of love, marriage, commitment. Bennett has always wanted Presley but never admitted how deep his feelings were for fear of her running.
When Presley finds out she is pregnant, Bennett is there in every way until Presley pushes him too far. Sometimes you need to lose something in order to know how important it really was.
I just loved how Natasha told this story. I felt all the emotions from the characters. I savored the pages as I didn’t want the story to end.
One of my favorite books by this author! Her characters feel like family. You get so invested in them. I cannot wait for the next book when series will collide together.

One of the things I love about Meghan Quinn’s books is the way she can take you from a funny scene to wholly hotness so quickly. Royally Not Ready is a perfect example of why she writes such amazing rom-com’s.
Lily lives in Miami, has a business with her friend, and is trying to live life after losing her parents. Approached one day by a man, Keller, from a foreign country where her mom was from. Something she knew nothing about and that her mom was a Princess.
I just love Royal romances and I devoured this one. As Lily travels to the country to learn if she could live there, become Queen one day and learn their traditions. Her teacher, Keller who is stone cold or so she thought. Lily knows how to press his buttons which made for some fun banter and laugh out loud moments. The two together were like fire once the guards were let down.
Keller had some walls that needed to come down which added to some angst in the story.
I love when foreign traditions are added into the story. Where Meghan comes up with them I do not know.
As Lily trains with Keller the two become one and compliment each other so well. Lily so badly wants a connection to her mother and being in this new country turned out to be so much more than ever expected.
This book was pure perfection! If you loved The Princess Diaries, you will love Royally Not Royal!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sunshine and Sammy by Melanie Moreland is part of the Vested Interest series. It can be read as a standalone as I did. I loved the characters from the start and was hooked on the story.
Luke is a rancher, hard worker, jaded from previous relationships. Sammy was hired to help make the ranch into a tv show to help small businesses grow their product. Rachel is Luke’s sister and partner on the ranch.
Luke and Sammy get off on the wrong foot, but the chemistry is there from the start. These two sizzle and can’t resist each other.
Luke was not happy with Sammy being there and made it known. Sammy was a spit fire and exactly what Luke needed to realize life was better with someone in it or more specifically Sammy.
Sammy was not afraid to let Luke know how she felt. She was a great character.
Luke had a broken heart, and Sammy helped to heal it. They were from two different worlds but complemented each other so well. I just loved this story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ace has always wanted more with Shelby but it wasn’t meant to be or so he thought.
The chemistry between these two was so apparent you wonder how they were able to be around each other before lol.
The scenes with Shelby and her sisters are comical. I cannot wait for their books.
Natasha just writes such great characters that you can’t help but want more. This series is a spinoff from the Southern Series. Another winner from Natasha Madison!

Can you give a book more than 5 stars? Emma Scott has the most magnificent way with words. Her words on the page are like magic. This was one of my favorite of her books. I felt it in my heart and soul.
Asher is a firefighter who saves everyone else and puts his needs last. Faith is a partier, not taking life serious until she finally realizes that she can have more. The two have amazing chemistry and change each other.
The book is set in Hawaii and you can imagine being there through her imagery and setting in the book. Life throws much angst at them and at the reader. With tears in my eyes I felt for their loss. Emma unfortunately knows grief and I am so enamored but her strength and courage. You feel it in her characters and her writing.
You will never regret reading an Emma Scott book and Between Hello and Goodbye should be at the top.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So Not Meant To Be by Meghan Quinn is the next of the Cane brothers books. JP met Kelsey when her sister and his brother were fake fiancés that fell in love.

JP doesn’t have real relationships. Kelsey is a true romantic. She wants the perfect love story and has the podcast to prove it. I love the ode to Meghan’s couples on the podcast.
JP decides to try being friends secretly hoping it becomes more. Kelsey doesn’t think JP is that guy until he is.
The two made for some fun adventures and their story was so fun. I loved JP’s pigeon obsession.
Meghan writes such great romantic comedy and this book tops it. I enjoyed their banter, their laughs, their chemistry and everything in between. JP stole my heart. I hope we get more from the Cane brothers.

They both were in a daze without each other. Travis thought he could get married and settle and just go through life without real love. His family thought otherwise. Getting an invitation to his wedding was the last thing Harlow expected but a promise is a promise.
When the two meet again, its like a lightning storm! The sparks fly, the feelings explode and the rest is history.
I love second chance romances, Natasha Madison’s books, her characters and writing.
This story was so good. I just loved Harlow and Travis. Their chemistry was amazing, and Travis was just so in love with her. This was a great read filled with swoony moments and a great set up for this new series.

And how much did I love the supporting characters aka the hockey players. They were family, fun and laughs all rolled up in one.
I love that were keep getting characters related to each other, but it can still be read as a standalone. But don’t worry you will want to read them all.
Rebecca writes great characters, and is a whiz at this genre.
I love that I discovered her books as I enjoy them so. Another book not to be missed.

The Doctor’s Daughter by Shari J Ryan is a must read! Shari’s portrayal of the Holocaust and historical fiction will have you grabbing for tissues, tugging at your heart and leave you gripping the pages until the last word.

I cannot recommend her books enough. She is one of the best Writers of Holocaust historical fiction.

Only One Forever is book 8 in the Only One series by Natasha Madison. I just loved Dylan and Alex so much. They had it all love, friendship and family.
While it may not be your typical boy meets girl, it was so much more, best friends through everything finding their person.
All of the books in the series can be read as a standalone, but why would you want to miss such fabulous characters. Who doesn’t want to be part of this family and go on their family vacations?
Dylan was adopted by Cooper after having a horrible dad, and his single mom trying to do everything for him. Enter Maddox, a child attending the summer hockey program, and it’s like Dylan 2.0.

Dylan is thoughtful, protective and the best that Alex could want. The two were so afraid to ruin their friendship that they almost lost each other. Everyone else could see it, but how would their families and the press react? Dylan doesn’t care and changes teams to be closer to Alex. He knew what he wanted! The two were just meant to be.

This was such a fun, hilarious, laugh at loud story. In typical BB Easton fashion, it has quirky characters, an outrageous storyline and a story you won’t be able to put down.

If you love BB Easton you will love Group Therapy.

Kennedy Fox writes such fun books. Getting snowed in at a cabin was such a fun premise.
Ryan and Kendall have known each other for awhile. Set with getting the cabin ready for her best friend and his sister for her honeymoon, a good deed turns into a blizzard, no electricity and some fun chemistry.
I listened to the audio and thought the narrators did a good job telling the story. This was an enemies to lovers story.
This story was a romantic fantasy to escape the real world. Each book in the Love in Isolation series has a theme of being thrown together with a disaster. I can’t wait for the next one!

I found Rebecca Jenshak’s books after she participated in a “Thank a Healthcare hero’ project. I have read every book since. I love sports romances, and Rebecca does such a good job with her stories. I love the characters, storylines and swoony feeling I get from them.

I cannot for more in this series and from Rebecca!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this story so much! My Summer in Seoul by Rachel Van Dyken was a fun and unique story. I was excited to read this book after reading the blurb and it did not disappoint.
I knew very little about the k pop music industry and loved reading about it and about another culture.
Grace is a Korean American that had very little ties to Korea. She never felt like she fit in & jumped at the chance to intern in music in Korea. Little did she know, that her world would change, she would have culture shock and she knew very little about her heritage.
Learning through Grace’s eyes as she did immersed the reader in the story and allowed you to learn along with Grace. Each band member so different and surprising. Seeing what they went through, the sacrifices, the ups, the downs made this story so real.
You could feel the passion the writer had for the story. It was so well done. I couldn’t put it down. I hope there are more books to come!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The One Night by Meghan Quinn was a fun novella featuring a character from her book The Reunion releasing in early 2022.

They hit it off after Cooper’s parents take him out for a night on the town. After a one night stand, what will or can happen?

A chance meeting and as they say the rest is history. Lottie and Huxley are like oil and water and walk a fine line between love and hate. They have sizzling chemistry, and Lottie has a way of breaking down Huxley’s walls to find a caring, compassionate man. She peels his layers back, and what you find is an amazing guy.

I just loved their fun banter and comical episodes throughout taking pregnancy and breastfeeding classes.

Lottie is filled with sass and spunk, and challenges Huxley every step of the way. Huxley is an alpha male, rich and full of appeal in every way.

This is a fun and sexy story that will not disappoint.

I became a fan of Shari J. Ryan’s work after reading Last Words. When I read the description of The Bookseller of Dachau I was excited for another book from Shari. What I didn’t expect was a story that would consume me to the core.
The Holocaust is emotional to read about on its own, but Matilda and Hans story had me in tears, emotional and on the edge of my seat throughout every word, page and chapter. It is their emotional story from best friends, young lovers into adulthood and the rebuilding of lives. I don’t want to say more about the actual story as you need to experience it for yourself.
The book alternates between the past and present day, and Shari did an exceptional job telling this story. Her words will bring you to tears and have you praying for hope as the characters did. What the characters endured, and many in real life, is heartbreaking and tragic. Telling the stories of the past is so important and authors like Shari J. Ryan, are helping to keep them alive for future generations.
This is a wonderful and emotional story of life, loss, horrific tragedy and family. 5+ stars for this heartbreaking story!

I love sports romances. I love college themed books. Wild Love is book 4 in the Campus Nights series by Rebecca Jenshak and it has both.

I think she saved the best for last. Johnny Maverick was a player, carefree and always out for the next adventure. After two years at Valley he is turning pro &
Playing for the Wildcats. He convinces & helps secure an internship so Dakota will join him. What starts out as friends and a summer romance quickly turns into so much more.

They were fun and so hot. They had me smiling, swooning and just loving this friends to lovers sports college romance. One thing about these books is the friendship amongst all the supporting characters. It’s the friend group you want to be a part of. You will laugh and smile with them.

Rebecca writes wonderful stories that leaving you feeling good. I love her characters, her stories, her plot twists.

This is a great series and I can’t wait for the next series Wildcats to start.

Well played

Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland are probably the best writing duo around. Their books are just so good. Well Played is the latest from the Two and it was fun, hot and addicting. Their books are hard to put down.

The Palm Inn was left to both Levi and Presley’s son Alex. Presley had a relationship and son with Levi’s brother. Levi wants to tell it while the market is hot. Presley wants to fix it up and make a new life for her and Alex. They make a bet to decide its fate. While Presley works to fix it up they all live there. Alex loves spending time with his uncle. His dad has been MIA until he gets wind of the closeness starting between his brother and Presley.

Presley and Levi have amazing chemistry, banter and so much fun together. Levi never wanted a relationship, but Presley is changing that. Presley can’t be with Levi, Alex is his brothers son and her ex. This is a forbidden love, brothers ex story with angst, love and great writing.

The story is filled with everything. Emotion, family, love and taking chances. Penelope and Vi are an amazing writing team, and their books should not be missed.

I just love sports romances and Natasha is the queen of them. Her hockey books are filled with great characters, the best storylines and books that make you not be able to stop reading.
Only One Regret is book 5 in the Only One series. All the books in this series and the prior ones revolve around different generations in the same family, and they are all hockey players. Did I say how much I love these books! They are my kryptonite lol. I can’t stop reading once I start.
Cooper is all grown up, a father and has a soon to be ex that he should have never married in the first place. Erika is Cooper’s agent and best friend. They have a connection that no one can complete with. They have crazy chemistry and it sizzles between them. They also have a love and caring way with each other that makes for the best relationships.
Cooper is your next book boyfriend. He has it all – great father, caring, compassionate and selfless. He will make you swoon.
I loved the story, the characters and hotness of this book. You will have no regrets on this one and it should not be missed. Natasha Madison has another winner with this one.

I just love Corinne Michaels books. They are gripping, emotional and tug at your heart. A Moment for Us has it all. It is emotional in so many ways.

Josh and Delia are just meant to be. Life has been hard and Josh hasn’t dealt with his pain from the past. He doesn’t feel worthy of love and happiness.
Delia has always loved Josh. Always wanted him to love, but happy to just be with him or was she fooling herself.
The two get serious, but when tragedy strikes can they find the strength to be together or get torn apart?
There was much angst throughout the story, and sadness. Delia is strong when she needs to be, and helps Josh to find strength in himself and finally start to heal.

This is a beautiful, heart wrenching story that will take you on an emotional journey of love, loss and family.
Another winner from Corinne!

Jock Reign by Sara Ney is book 5 in the Jock Hard series. If you are a sports romance fan then you must read this series. Each one focuses on a different character at the same school. They are full of laughs, great banter and fun characters.

Jock Reign introduces us to Jack, the younger brother of Ashley from the previous book in this series. Jack is a horrible rugby player, but thought it might be a good way to meet people. He meets Eliza and they quickly become friends having lots in common. Eliza and Jack are quirky together, but their romance takes time as they get to know each other. It’s a friendship that develops into more.

Eliza’s roommate has a crush on Jack, and when she sees Eliza and Jack getting closer, drama unfolds. Eliza and Jack end up living together and their relationship blossoms from there.

Jack was a great character, sweet, caring and loved the British phrases. The two together were so sweet. I just loved them.
This was a great sports romance, college romance. and friends to lover’s story. I recommend both this book and this series!

I absolutely loved this book. It was different from a lot of the books I had read by her, but I was hooked from the very beginning, and cannot wait for the next books in this series.
The Lawyer, follows Dominic, an entertainment lawyer, as he represents a new face in reality tv, Kendall, her jealous and difficult sister, and the relationship that develops between him and Kendall. When his one day stand enters his workplace as the sister and assistant of his client, his worlds collide and nothing will ever be the same. Kendall is different and Dominic knows she is going to be perfect for this new role. Kendall is different, she is caring, considerate and beautiful. Nothing like the normal Hollywood girls.
Their chemistry was off the charts, and so electric! Kendall brought put the best in Dominic and vice versa. Their relationship grew and had many layers. I couldn’t get enough of those two.
The Lawyer is hot, exciting and not to be missed. I cannot wait to read about Domino’s brothers in the next books.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed The Happy Accidents by Jamie Beck. It’s women’s fiction, and deals with sisters and friends each at a different stage of their lives.
A night in Vegas has repercussions for all of them, but in different ways.
Jess is a free spirit living life on her own terms until she is faced with a life changing decision. Is she ready for such a big change?
Chloe is married, content but not truly happy. Her husband controls everything and after a trip to Vegas, she decides she needs a change in her life. Will he support her or prevent her from finding herself?
Liz has a great career, but after a drunken night, a truthful video will she be able to recover? A career lost, a re-evaluation of what matters and a new friend, all add to Liz’s decision about where to go next in her life.
This story alternates through the after shock of Vegas for each of them.
I loved this book so much. I couldn’t wait to find out what happens next for these characters.
It felt like three stories woven into one. Definitely recommend this book!

When Sparks Fly by Helena Hunting was a friends to lover story filled with great characters, a great story and that humor that Helena does so well.
Avery and Declan are best friends, roommates and always there for each other. Declan has always had a crush on Avery but never acted on it.
A car accident changes everything, and Declan becomes more than just a friend.
These two together have such chemistry and sizzling interactions. I just loved the banter, the caring nature, and Declan’s love that develops.
Their friendship evolved into so much more. There was some angst thrown in too, but overall it was a sweet story that developed from tragedy. I also loved the personal growth we saw from the characters dealing with their past issues to enable them to be open, honest and capable of loving each other to the fullest extent.
I really enjoyed this story, and these characters.

I just loved Kiss and Don’t Tell by Meghan Quinn. It was the perfect Rom-Com Done in Meghan’s style filled with fun banter, witty conversation, fun times and sexy characters.
Winnie stumbles upon a house after her car breaks down. Turns out it’s a house full of hockey players. From the first scenes, I was laughing and smiling.
Pacey is smitten with Winnie almost immediately. These two have great chemistry. Their friendship and feelings that develop were perfectly written. I just loved their story.
I listened to the audio, and the narrators Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin did such a great job bringing these characters to life.
I listen to my audio books in the car, and I would get disappointed when I would get interrupted.
Loved this new series and can’t wait for more from these characters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At First Hate by KA Linde was a second chance, enemies to lovers story. It was filled with great characters, witty banter and some angst moments that you have come to love from Linde.
Marley comes home after being away at school to take care of her grandmother’s house after her passing. Filled with memories from the past, both good and bad. She had a great, caring grandmother who raised her and her brother after her mother was non-existent. The one person she doesn’t want to see or deal with is the one she has to. Her past love Derek.
Derek is now a lawyer and his dad’s firm is representing Marley’s mom in a case to get her grandmother’s house.
The two have so much chemistry, and I loved how Linde goes between the past and present so you experience their relationship and how they got to their current place.
I really enjoyed this book and story. I loved both characters and what they represented and overcame to get to this point in their lives and know what they want. And who isn’t a sucker for a good second chance romance!
I definitely recommend this book.

OMG! Where to start with this book! I am a huge Natasha Madison fan. Her books just grab me until I am reading the last page.
Southern Sunrise is book 8 in the Southern series. Each one I have loved, and couldn’t put down. The characters in these books feel like a family you want to be a part of. It feels like coming home with each new book.
Reed left to go into the military wanting to escape from his hometown, from living in his father and brothers shadow. Leaving behind everyone to never look back. Six year later he returns after an injury, and his life will never be the same.
Hazel comes back to town after a family emergency. She left six years ago, not wanting to come back, starting a new life for her and her daughter.
Secrets can’t stay hidden forever, almost from the first meeting Reed knows. His life will forever be changed, and give him the piece he was always missing.
I loved this book so much. Reed and Hazel were such good characters, and had great chemistry and love for each other. Hazel showed such strength as a single mom.
This is a book that will pull at your heart strings. A must read from Natasha Madison! 5+ stars!!

The Highland Fling by Meghan Quinn is a perfect rom-com set in Scotland. It’s filled with great characters, lots of laughs and great banter.
Bonnie and her best friend Dakota set out on a adventure to run a coffee shop in Scotland. They answer an ad in the paper, and decide they need a change. Rowan is the son of the coffee shop owners, and makes a great first impression on Bonnie. The two start out like oil and water, but the sparks fly and chemistry ignites. This is a slow burn romance, and there are some funny adventures in between.
I just love romance books set in other countries. Meghan tells the story as if you are there and experiencing it along with her characters. It’s a cute story with a small amount of angst and a whole lotta fun.
Take an adventure to Scotland with Meghan as you will not be disappointed!
