REVIEW: The Roommate by Lindsey Hart

 

The Roommate by Lindsey Hart
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Book Description: 

My number ONE complaint: He walks around butt naked.
My number TWO complaint: He also saw me butt naked.
My number THREE complaint: He is my new STEPBROTHER!

And now, we are stuck together for the next two weeks in a cabin sharing the same living space.
It would be the vacation of a lifetime, my mom said. It will help me get to know my new stepbrother, she said.
Well, I admit I did get to know right off the bat how well-endowed he was in all the right places. Wait, no ... that's not it.
What I found out after our first meeting was how much of a gorgeous jerk he was.
He called my mom a gold-digger ... so I "accidentally" dropped scalding hot coffee on his willy.

This is a short steamy romance novella. No cheating. No cliff-hanger. And the kind of ending you will just love. HEA all the way!!

REVIEW: Tied by Carian Cole

 

Tied by Carian Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Description:

Tyler Grace was many things.
A myth. An outcast. A hero.
My prince.


My childhood and innocence were stolen when I was kidnapped at five years old. For eleven years I clung to my childhood fairytale books, waiting for the prince I hoped would someday save me and carry me off to a happily ever after.

I had no idea my savior would come in the form of a scarred recluse, covered in tattoos, who can't--or won't--speak a word.

But the moment our eyes met I knew he was the one. My prince.

Tyler Grace is haunted by his tragic past and he's sentenced himself to a lifetime of solitude in the woods. He's as lost in society as I am; scarred just as much on the inside as the outside. Just like me.

He saved my life that day he found me and killed my captor with his bare hands. I was warned to stay away from him. But I can't stop thinking about him. I ache to hear his voice and see him smile. And I want nothing more than to be the one to break through his walls.

I think he's the only one who can break through mine, too.

Together we can have love, happiness, and a closeness that once felt impossible to have. But can we overcome the horrible twisted past that ties us together?


** Tied can be read as a single book, and has a happy ending

Review: Betrayed Love by Brynne Asher

 

Betrayed Love by Brynne Asher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An age-gap, billionaire romance where secrets and revenge are embraced in a dangerous tango…

It began with lies. So many lies.

I was born unwanted. In pain. Addicted. A crack baby.

I was given a second chance, but I want a third. A fresh start—out from under my parents’ control. I was on my way to building my new life when my neighbor crashed into it, wrecking all my plans.

Heir to his family fortune, Henry Ward III, returned to Texas with a plan of his own. With burdens as heavy as my own secrets, he needed a distraction.

And with a man like him—who could own the boardroom and my body with one gruff gaze from his intense dark eyes—I was down for a distraction too.

Little did we know, his burdens and my secrets are so heavily entwined, there’s no way to untangle them.

I’m a Montgomery.

He’s a Ward.

We might as well be the Capulets and Montagues. Our connection is that rife with drama. That forbidden.

That dangerous.

When the past repeats itself, a distraction is the last thing we need. We need a lifeline as much as we need each other. The vicious cycle has to stop.

It’s life and death.

Review: Where Our Turn Begins by A.M. Wilson

Where Our Turn Begins by A.M. Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caiti Harris thought her story ended the night her husband died.

She packed their history away like trinkets in an old box and held steadfast to the ache. Life granted her one love, and after he was cruelly ripped away, she knew there wouldn’t be anyone else.

When a tempting bartender invites her to stay for a drink after closing, she agrees to one night, not a lifetime commitment. His sinful smile promises to chase away the pain of the past while his chiseled body guarantees to ward off the unrelenting chill.

Her love life ended, but that doesn’t mean she’s sentenced to an existence of total solitude.

Dane’s world is exactly the way he wants. Tidy. He keeps a watchful eye over his bar, and remains a pillar for the people he cares for most. So when the woman he’s dreamt about for three years shows up at his door with a toddler in tow, he’s ready for the challenge. The two come as a package deal.

Caiti only wants to establish a connection with him in the event something happens to her. A backup plan to keep their daughter safe. She didn’t expect to be whisked away in an ambulance before she could explain her sudden return to Arrow Creek.

Dane’s vision soars beyond an eighteen year commitment. He sees a lifetime of settling down. And he’s not ready to give up his turn without a fight for their daughter.

Or her.

Sunday Spotlight

Happy Sunday all! I hope this finds you all having had an awesome weekend. I, for one, am not ready for the work week to start but adulting must be done. 

So a little update... I recently purchased a Cricut machine and have been playing around with it. Along with reading, crafting has always been a favorite hobby. While at Walmart the other day, I came across these adorable cups that sparked some inspo for a blog / Cricut mashup. While Lindsay and I haven't been super active on the blog, we are still very much actively reading and working on getting back to regular scheduled programming. 

Anywho... I spent some of my lazy Sunday working on these cups for Lindsay and I, and I wanted to post them and show you guys! 

Well, that's about it. I know, not a super titillating post but I just wanted to show off these cute cups and say hello. We're hoping to get back to posting on a more regular basis and maybe adding some new fun things along the way... So please stay tuned! And to all our followers, thank's for sticking around 😊

Book Description: 

Timing is everything.

Presley Hale and Sebastian Vargas are no strangers to goodbye. Their high school summers were spent wrapped up in each other until she would inevitably go home to California. One season after college, Sebastian finally escaped the little Texas town to travel the world, and they said goodbye for what they thought might be the last time.
Sebastian went one way. Presley went the other.

For the first time in five years, they’re both in town, but the timing is no better than ever. So the only thing to do is what they do best. Keep it casual.

Friends with benefits.

They’ve done it before—doing it again will be easy.

But their hearts don’t get the memo.

When the lines of their arrangement blur, Presley and Sebastian are faced with decisions they’ve avoided for years. And that’s not even their biggest problem.
A small town in danger of failing.

A secret that could tear them apart.

And two hearts that can’t hide anymore.

They’ve shared so many summers, but none compare to what they’ll face.

Timing is everything.
And their time is almost up.
