Best Friends Aren’t Forever

Ever wonder where the kids of the rich and famous go to school?

Eastbrooke Academy isn’t a regular school. It’s an elite boarding school, filled with the children of the outrageously rich, where drama is in excess and rules don’t apply.

Aubrey Lane Arrington, daughter of a famous actress and an international club owner, is set to attend. It’s where her parents met, but more importantly, she’s always dreamed of being there with her best friend and crush, Branson Johnson. Longtime family friends, the Johnson boys are legendary—known for their cocky grins, all-American good looks, and wild parties. They are also known to break hearts.

When a fight ends her friendship with Branson, Lane makes a last-minute trip to London, where she happens to hit things off with a really cute prince. And after spending a summer with him, the last place Lane wants to spend her junior year is at Eastbrooke Academy. But her parents aren’t letting her get out of it.

So, she comes up with a plan.

Get kicked out of school.

Move to London to be with her prince.

And live happily ever after—without Branson.

Is Lane destined for London, or could Eastbrooke Academy—and a Johnson boy— win back her heart?


My review: 5 stars!

I was so excited when I saw that author Jillian Dodd was starting a new series and that it would be the kids of characters from her Keatyn series attending school at Eastbrooke Academy! I jumped at the chance to back the project on Kickstarter. The new characters are so fun and so is the drama, friendships, and romance and even the school itself! The end of the book made me so hungry for the next book in the series- I cannot wait!

New Release Review: What the Neighbors Saw by Melissa Adelman

 

What the Neighbors SawWhat the Neighbors Saw by Melissa Adelman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aside from romance, domestic thrillers and suspense novels are my favorite genre and What the Neighbors Saw really delivered. I found myself hooked from the start and finished in just 2 days. I love when I don't see a twist coming! Told through the alternating POVs of 2 women, the story was engaging and entertaining. Looking forward to author Melissa Adelman's next release.

About ROYALLY IN TROUBLE:

I have two responsibilities as the new heir to the throne:

1. Get married.
2. Have babies.

Sure, becoming queen one day is part of those new responsibilities, but as long as King Theo is in charge, I don't have to add a coronation to my list.

That's why I find myself in the throes of wedding planning, pre-wedding classes with my broody, over-protective fiancé, and counting down the days until we can finally say I do.

But with every day we grow closer to our wedding, we seem to grow apart.

Our commonalities are tested.
Our faith in each other is questioned.
And our safety is threatened.
The only thing working? The command he has over me in the bedroom.

I keep telling myself, it’ll all work out. We just need to make it to the wedding day. Except, when the day finally comes, everything falls apart.

We might have made it through the last few months together, but now I'm not sure we're going to make it out of this alive.

New Release Review: Forbidden Hearts by Corinne Michaels

 

Forbidden Hearts by Corinne Michaels is now live!

First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot.

But that’s exactly what happens when grumpy small-town sheriff Asher Whitlock reluctantly hires me to take care of his daughter for the summer. Neither of us is thrilled with the arrangement, but he’s desperate for help, and I need the money for grad school this fall.

All we need to do is keep our distance and remain professional . . . turns out, that’s easier said than done.

Instead of focusing on my future, all I see is the strong jawline, crystal-blue eyes, and rock-hard body right in front of me. We try to resist each other, but we end up crossing every line until I’m in his bed.

I tell myself it’s just this once.

Okay, twice.

All right, every night.

But it’s got to end–he’s fourteen years older than me, with a kid and a stressful job. Have I mentioned my dad is his boss? Then there’s the past I’m trying to forget. Secrets aren’t easy to keep and mine are getting too big to hide.

Walking away is never simple but when I do, I can’t look back.

Even if it means leaving behind the man I was never meant to love.

 My review: 4 stars

I really enjoyed Asher and Phoebe's romance. I especially loved Olivia, Asher's young daughter, and it was great to see she and nanny Phoebe form such a bond right from the beginning. The author did a great job presenting Olivia's hearing impairment and her use of ASL. There was such heat between Asher and Phoebe, and I really liked how the author had the characters deal with a difficult situation they were presented with.

Looking for a Fake Fiancé

Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it?

It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to say it is what counts.

Hi. It’s me. I’m that person.

The man I’ve been casually seeing told me I’m not “wife material” and should “lower my expectations”. Didn’t he realize I lowered them the moment I met him for dinner?

Obviously not.

Am I petty? Maybe. Annoyed? Of course. Determined? Definitely.

I need someone to help me flaunt my new engagement—my fiancĂ© couldn’t wait to pop the question because I’m that amazing—in his face.

The problem? I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband-to-be.

Which brings us to you.

Are you handsome? Successful? A smooth talker extraordinaire?

Are you willing to do all the things that someone madly in love would do?

Putting your hand on the small of my back. Forehead kissing. Acting like I’m a treasure you can’t live without. I need you to be prepared to do all those things … and maybe more.

What do you get out of this? I’m willing to negotiate terms—especially if they include a job and a place to stay. It’s a long story.

One night. One event. Let’s put on one heck of a show.

 

From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author comes a “hot and hilarious!” fake-dating tale between two frenemies that turn into roommates, coworkers, and, ultimately, lovers. Fans of close proximity, one-bed trope, and blue-collar, small-town heroes will fall madly in love with this story.



My review: 5 stars!

Before I dove in to Flaunt, I just knew Banks would be one of my favorite Carmichael brothers, and I am so glad I was right! He is so silly and goofy but still has such a soft, swoony side to him too. He and Sara had such great banter and jokes and I just smiled so much. And I just have to say- I love the Carmichael family! 

About the Author:

 

USA Today Bestselling author, Adriana Locke, writes contemporary romances about the two things she knows best—big families and small towns. Her stories are about ordinary people finding extraordinary love with the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor. 

She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden.

Hailing from a tiny town in the Midwest, Adriana spends her free time with her high school sweetheart (who she married over twenty-five years ago) and their four sons (who truly are her best work). Her kitchen may be a perpetual disaster, and if all else fails, there is always pizza.
