There are no words to explain how much I loved this book! Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland write the best stories. I freaking loved The Rules of Dating. I laughed, I smiled, I cried. This book had it all and then some.
Single dad romances make me swoon and Colby was the single dad you want to meet.
Colby is sexy, confidant and an amazing father to Saylor. Billie is a tattoo artist, has a kind soul and is a straight shooter. They are complete yin & yang but they work. They go on undates and form a friendship but with their electricity they become lovers and so much more. They kept me glued to the pages reading at all hours. And of course there was some angst thrown in to keep you on your toes.
Colby’s friends add some fun, smile, happy, got your back type moments. They are an amazing group of friends that are family.
And Saylor was such a cute kid. Her moments with Billie were priceless.
There was so much to love with this story. It is a must read. One of my favs of the year. You will fall in love with every page.

I get so excited every time Natasha Madison has a new release. I get so enthralled with her stories. Mine To Cherish is book 3 in the Southern Wedding series. I just loved Clarabella and Luke. It was a second chances, runaway almost bride, awesome family kind of book.
Clarabella and Luke had a great night together until he walked away. Big mistake! Clarabella rebounded and was to be married. Then the unthinkable happens and she bolts right into Luke. The two go off to escape and Luke is happy to oblige.
I just loved these two together there was chemistry, awesome banter and an amazing connection. Their time at the cabin allowed for falls to come down, and feelings to be explored. I just love second chance stories, and these two deserved a happy ending.
Clarabella and her sisters have such a great relationship with each other. Their conversations are wonderful and heart felt. They are there for each other in every way.
I cannot wait for Presley’s book, and her story.
This is a book not to be missed and a series that is a must read.

I loved Bitter Sweet Heart by Helena Hunting so much. From the first chapter to the last, it grabbed my heart and didn’t let go.
Maverick comes from hockey royalty. The plan is for him to play professionally. He is an old soul and seems older than his age.
Clover and Mav meets accidentally when her paddle board drifts too far when she falls asleep. The two have a one night stand thinking that is all it will be. Fast forward to the start of the school year and their paths cross again.
Mav and Clover try to stay away, but they have a pull towards one another. Mav helps Clover to learn to stand up for herself. She in turn helps Mav to figure out exactly what he wants for his future and to be honest with his family.
They complement each other so well. Clover helps him to heal from his guilt from the past.
This book will have you hooked. It has angst, it was emotional, gripping and a page turner.
It also lets you revisit some characters from the past books. Fans of Helena Hunting will love this different side as she writes under H. Hunting for a more mature book and issues. This was one of my favorite of her books.

Penelope Ward has done it again! Moody was everything you didn’t know you needed. It was a finding love where you least expect it, forbidden love, and a second chance story. It was all that and so much more.

When wren returns, Dax’s life will never be the same.
This story had all the feels that you want, and have come to find in Penelope Ward’s books. Each book is so different but grabs you and keeps you gripped to the last page.Another winner not to be missed!

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.

Mine To Hold by Natasha Madison was everything I hoped it to be. Best friends to lovers with a whole lot of hotness!
Shelby and Ace will melt your heart, and give you all the feels that Natasha does so well.
Shelby is supposed to get married until she gets an email that is for her best friends girlfriend who is one of her bridesmaids from her soon to be husband. The wedding scene was genius.
Fast forward to the honeymoon, where she invites her best friend Ace to join her on. The two can’t fight their attraction, and friends become lovers cause whatever happens on the Island stays on the Island.
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!

I enjoyed their story and am looking forward more to come in this series.

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.
