Theirs begins as a opportune arrangement and grows into genuine affection. But as they’re beginning to find their happiness something tries to tear them apart. Gah, I didn’t think I’d be so invested in this story, but I was glued to every word. Jack turns out to be such a sweetheart. He had me in swoons with how good he is to Kelly and had me busting out the pom-poms to cheer them on.
A Billionaire Deal by Lori Ryan was a fast-paced, fake marriage romance that burned slow, but packed plenty of heat. Add to that sprinkles of suspense, mystery, and wit and I couldn’t put this book down. 5 stars.

Lori Sutton continues to keep me completely entertained and ok the edge my seat with this latest addition too her Sutton Billionaire Series.
We’ve met Samantha in previous books of the series. It was great to see her story unfold. I really loved Logan and felt he was more than deserving of Samantha especially once he gets a hold of PTSI. They had amazing chemistry and a connection like no other. The romance was just the right amount of swoony while the story, much like the previous ones in the series, was exciting and twisty and kept me glued to my Kindle.

I enjoyed the book and I have to sThe Billionaire Op is the third book in the Sutton Billionaire series and centers around Jennie and her boss, Chad. I enjoyed the book and I have to say that Chad has got to be my favorite hero from the series so far.
Chad is Jennie’s boss at Sutton Capital. After losing her husband she’s vowed to never love again, but try as she might she can’t help but be drawn to her boss. Chad can see how much pain Jennie carries with her and isn’t willing to push her, but he also can’t seem to shake his attraction to her. After being set away on assignment Jennie begins t let her walls down only to build them right back up after guilt begins to naw at her. But when Jennie’s life is in danger Chad steps up and won’t let anything happen to her.
Seriously, I rooted for these two from the start. I just wanted them to to find their HEA. I will admit I did want to shake Jennie a few times and just get her to let him in, but overall I really enjoyed their story. 4 stars.

It’s a great mix of friends-to-lovers and romantic suspense. It’s a quick, easy read and the story flowed well. I loved the friends to lovers trope in the story as it came with great chemistry, passion, and sexual tension. Add to that the romantic suspense aspect and I was flipping pages furiously.

Wic This girl is a sucker for sports romance and Wicked Player is a seductive and sexy sports romance with a wicked twist that totally scored with me. Wicked Player is book three in the Rough Riders series. I was late to the party on this series, but this reads like a true standalone which was awesome for me.
Gage and Elizabeth’s chemistry was off the charts! Their connection was instant and strong from the very beginning and the steam their lust produced could power the Titanic. The twist of Elizabeth not knowing that Gage is the man she’s falling for was fantastic and me devouring the pages.
Seductive, captivating, and ultra hot, Wicked Player by Stacey Lynn is a freaking treat and perfect way to turn up the heat on a cold evening. Now I need go and add the rest of the books in the series to my TBR because wow!

I loved diving back iAfter reading and loving the first two books in the Santa Lena Sizzles series I was beyond excited to get my hands on Overdrive. I loved diving back in with this great ensemble of characters and Jessa York’s great writing.
Vivienne is a planner. She wants a career, a family, the perfect husband, and a big, beautiful home to live in. At 37 she has the beautiful home of her dreams, but that’s all she’s checked off her list. Focusing on her career has brought her success, but now she feels like she’s running out of time for everything else. Then after a fun girls night out she finds herself having a one night stand with the sexy and charming ride-share driver tasked with taking her and group of friends home. That was definitely not in her plans, but she figures why not? After a hot night together she tells him goodbye, only to leave Vivienne with consuming memories of their time together. But luck and fate conspire when he shows up as her driver a second time.
I’m not a particular fan of age gaps when the woman is older, but this story was so fun I didn’t even really notice. Jason and Vivienne are at two completely different points in their lives. She’s 37 with a stable and flourishing career. He’s 25 and a struggling driver. She’s ready to settle down, have kids, and live in her gorgeous house. He’s never really wanted a serious relationship and barely making rent. And yet they both feel such a strong connection. Not to mention they are hot, hot, hot together! I loved this mismatched yet perfectly paired couple. I also loved getting to revisit old friends and all the baking Vivienne does. I now feel the need to bake too! This was such a fun and sexy read. The perfect addition to the series and another win for Jessa York. 5 Stars. ...more

When her friend and roommate suddenly seems to have found a quick money making job at some agency, Simone is fast to agree to working with her.
I really liked the heroine, Simone, in this story. She has all the sass yes, but she’s also all kinds of freaking sweet. Impossible not to like. Knox is all kinds of hot and as alpha as they come. Impossible not to drool over. I loved their dynamic and how Simone thinks she’s conning him, while he’s actually way ahead of her game. Also, can we please take a moment to raise or coffees or wine glasses (whichever is your jam) to Madison Faye and her steamy scenes! Thanks, girl! They’re freaking gold. 4 stars.

Unfortunately her morning has been It’s the day of the presentation that will surely land Abbie the promotion she’s been working towards for so long. Unfortunately her morning has been a disaster and as she stumbles into the conference room she sees the one person she wished she’d never see again, Hunter James.
Abbie and Hunter were frenemies since he moved in next door at the age of ten. Their friendship consisted of Hunter constantly challenging Abbie to step out of her introverted box. Until one day as teenagers Hunter breaks her heart and then he’s gone. Now he’s back and determined to be forgiven and get the girl. If only he can tame Abbie long enough to convince her he’s not leaving and that she’s the one for him.
In true Molly O’Hare fashion Nothing But A Dare is romcom magic! Abbie was an adorable hot-mess and Hunter was hot, persistent, and swoony af! Their chemistry was off the charts and their enemies to lovers dynamic had me flipping pages as fast as I could possibly read them! The story was equal parts hilarious, steamy, and sweet. And of course because it’s a Molly O’Hare book there’s an unforgettable pet to boot. This time we got to meet Abbie’s hairless cat, Rupert and he never failed to steal the show.
If you’re a fan of laugh-out-loud romcoms, sexy, alpha heroes, hot-mess heroines who curse up a storm, all wrapped up in a steamy romance, then you *need* Nothing But A Dare. In fact, I dare you to not like it. 5 stars.

With aI love a good romantic comedy because of the happy after-buzz they usually leave me feeling and that’s precisely what I got from Save the Date. With an interesting combo of marriage pact and friends to lovers romance, I knew I needed to read this.
Reese and Erin made a pact that when they turned 30 they’d marry each other if they hadn’t married anyone else already. But who actually intends to keep a marriage pact they made when they were fifteen, right?
With his and Erin’s 30th birthday fast approaching, Reese finds himself in his hometown for a job interview and with the intention of going through with their marriage pact. Reese grew up idolizing her parent’s perfect marriage only to watch it end in divorce and left her with a cynical perspective on love. But now Reese is back and making her question everything she’s come to believe about love and relationships.
This was my first Carrie Aarons book and I really enjoyed it. He story leaned more towards sweet than sexy, but I really liked Erin and Reese as a couple. Their chemistry, banter, and friendship were everything I wanted and then some. It was fun and packed just enough steam. It also left me with that happy romcom buzz I’m always after. 4 Stars.

One book and 14 different authors/stories about single parents?! Yes, please! Each author brings their original style to this wonderful collection of stories that will make any romance lover happy. Perfect for quick reads from authors you already love to new ones you’ll be falling in love with. Here some of my favorites:
Back to Life by Dani Rene was a freaking year jerker! There was no holding back the tears with this story. Emotional and heartfelt, this story just hit me hard in the feels. Both MCs are single parents and absolute giving their all for their kids. Seeing them finally find love was both heart aching and beautiful, but totally worth it. 5 stars.
Heartbreaker by Anna Brooks was amazing. This single parent story was anything, but cookie-cutter story and HEA. The main characters both have to fight hard for their happy ending. Opal and Ryan’s story is bold, tough, and raw and so freaking amazing. Ryan was the perfect hero with his patience and willingness to let Opal figure things out and come to him. The connection and chemistry was electric between the MCs and I will definitely be searching for more from this author. 5 stars.
Resisting Rayne by HL Nighbor was the ultimate quick, romantic read. Travis and Rayne’s chemistry was scorching. You could feel the sizzle and hear the hum from a mile away! This story had an insta-lust kind of vibe and that’s something that I love. I adore stories where the connection between the mIn characters is palpable and I can see the HEA coming from a mile away. 5 stars.

Plus, I was here for Aiden King and he did not disappoint!
Narration was performed in duet style by Shane East and Keira. Shane perfectly brought the alpha jerk that is Aiden to life and I loved every minute of it. Keira once again does a great job as well and I’m loving these two as a duo. 5 stars. ...more

I was already a fan of the series, but Stealing the Billionaire can definitely be read as a standalone. The chemistry between the characters was great and the narrators only elevated that.

What begins as a chance meeting and flirting turnsJanuary is at bar waiting for her friend to end his shift when a sexy man in a sharp suit walks in. What begins as a chance meeting and flirting turns into a job. Breken Blackstone is a successful software company owner and has recently inherited a ranch and doesn’t want. So when he meets January, a professional organizer, he hires her to help him organize the ranch so he can sell it. Suddenly he finds himself faced with having to choose between responsibility and love.
I loved this couple so much! Rebecca Jenshak’s writing drew me in right away and I became wholeheartedly invested in Breken and January getting their happily ever after. The chemistry between the two was obvious and sizzling from their very first encounter and continued throughout the book. Breken was such a great hero. Sexy, sweet, and complicated enough to want me to peel back the layers. And every time I got a new layer of him I fell for him even more.
This story was the perfect mix of push and pull and sexy and romantic that had me devouring the pages as fast as I could. I’m fairly new to Ms. Jenshak’s writing, but I’m excited to read more if her stories continue to be like this one where I adored pretty much every character in the story. 4.5 Stars ...more
