New Release Review: The Pucker Next Door by Sara Ney

 

The Pucker Next DoorThe Pucker Next Door by Sara Ney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
Author Sara Ney always makes me cackle and I adored grumpy introvert Brodie! The squirrel meet-cute was a hoot and this was such a fun read. I definitely liked Lizzy more and more as the book went on and by the epilogue I was all in for this couple. Brodie's roommates were a hoot and I hope Sully gets a book!

New Release Review: Burnout by Rebecca Jenshak

 

BurnoutBurnout by Rebecca Jenshak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw the the male lead in Burnout was going to be Knox, a brother of Hendrick's from Jenshak's Tempting the Player, I was so excited! Although I don't know much about motocross, I was excited to dive in and learn. And having both main characters be athletes was fantastic- I do have some knowledge about gymnastics, so reading about Avery's sport was definitely fun. I absolutely loved the banter between grumpy Knox and sunshine Avery, and watching their slow burn romance grow was so enjoyable- I especially loved that they developed a friendship first. This was so good!

Cover Reveal: Pulse by Adriana Locke




Adriana Locke has revealed the gorgeous covers for Pulse!


Releasing: May 13, 2024

 Cover Design: Kari March Designs

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster


USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a spicy, age gap, grumpy sunshine, workplace romance in the first book in the brand new Landry Security series. 


Troy Castelli acts like it’s my fault that we’re cooped up together in a room with one bed overlooking the ocean. I didn’t ask for a stalker to break into my house and then send me a threatening email detailing my demise. And I sure as heck didn’t request that my boss send Troy and his uber elite bodyguard skills to accompany me out of town—although I’m not mad about it. 


A paid tropical vacation with a grumpy, gray-eyed bad boy in a suit isn’t exactly a burden. 


But it is a giant test of my willpower. 


Troy’s alpha protector tendencies drive me wild. His arrogant smirk gets under my skin. But it’s his not-so-innocent touches, heated looks and touch-her-and-die vibes that are the final strike that ignite our explosive chemistry.  


The longer we’re together, the more his broody exterior slips, and I get a glimpse of the real man beneath the sculpted muscles. I’m determined not only to unearth his mysterious past but also to make him realize what we have is more than just a fling in paradise.


That is, unless my stalker gets me first.

New Release Review: I Wish We Had Forever by Jessica Peterson

 


I Wish We Had Forever by Jessica Peterson is now live! 


A scorching hot, brother’s-best-friend, bad-boy/good-girl, fake-marriage standalone romance in the small-town Harbour Village series …


I’ve been pining for Abel Miller since we were teenagers. He’s sexy as hell, and has always played a starring role in all my fantasies. Too bad he only sees me as his best friend’s little sister.


He’s also a broody playboy who takes home a new girl every night, while I’m looking to find forever with someone. Abel and I couldn’t be more different.


But when my dad gets sick and says he just wants to see me safe, settled, and happily in love, Abel shocks me by offering to pretend to be my husband.


Now I’m living with the man of my dreams in his luxe bachelor pad as his fake wife. Plot twist: it only has one bed.


Turns out my feelings weren’t so one-sided after all. But Abel swears he’s too much of a bad boy for the type of relationship I’m looking for, and warns me not to fall in love with him.


Can I convince him he’s always been the one for me? Or am I just headed for heartbreak by wishing we had forever?


I WISH WE HAD FOREVER is book three in the standalone interconnected Harbour Village series.

Oh this was so good! Jen and Abel are just everything! I adore small town romances, and this was had so much emotion, heart, and steam too. The Harbour Village series has just been fantastic and I'm super sad to see it end, but I truly loved this series.

New Release Review: Nine Month Contract by Amy Daws

 

Nine Month ContractNine Month Contract by Amy Daws
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I adore author Amy Daws's brand of romantic comedy- I always literally laugh out loud when I read her books. Grumpy Wyatt and sunshine Trista were a delight, and it was fun to see characters from past novels by Daws play such a great part of the story (I'm looking at you, Everly!). So much steam and so many feels- so good!

New Audiobook Release Review: Bridesmaid for Hire by Meghan Quinn


From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a new rom com series. This steamy, laugh out loud, enemies-to-lovers, fake dating standalone romance is now available in all formats! Check out the excerpt below and one-click your copy today!

About BRIDESMAID FOR HIRE:

Sometimes the wedding of the century calls for desperate measures.

And sometimes those desperate measures are to pretend the person you hate most is actually your boyfriend.

After years of working her tail off at her event-planning business, Maggie Mitchell is ready for a vacation. With nothing on her mind but R & R, she's enjoying the warm weather of Bora Bora when in saunters Brody McFadden, her brother's best friend and also her sworn enemy. Thanks to years of tension between the two―kicked off by a make-out session at her brother's wedding that ended horribly―Maggie has sworn to stay away from the man. That is, until she finds out he's in Bora Bora for his boss's daughter's wedding, hoping to use the trip to win a real future at the company.

Maggie promised herself she wouldn't even think of work on the island, but as word spreads about the "wedding of the century" taking place in the midst of her vacation, she realizes offering her services as a bridesmaid and planner could bring her business to the next level. The only catch? She needs to pose as Brody's girlfriend to get the job…while letting him stay in her peaceful bungalow.

Tensions rise, irritation flairs, and despite years' worth of bickering behind closed doors, Maggie can't quite squash the sparks building between her and her new fake boyfriend, especially when she learns the real reason their first kiss was cut short. But as the wedding day draws closer and everything starts to go wrong, it just might be Brody who sends Maggie's business crashing down―and her heart along with it.

My review: 4.5 stars!

Oh how I love a vacation romance! I just finished the duet-style audiobook and I enjoyed it so much. Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke always do a spectacular job with their narration and they really brought characters Maggie and Brody to life with their performances in Bridesmaid for Hire. Author Meghan Quinn always makes me cackle with laughter and there were so many hilarious moments. Seriously, so many! I'm excited to see this book listed as #1 in the series because I definitely want to read more about this group!
