Falling for Fallon

April 4, 2019 by admin

Falling for Fallon by SJ Sylvis

A FEW THOUGHTS. . .

Two words, ladies. Taco. Scene.

That scene is so sweet, and cute, and funny that you will just melt into a puddle of all the feels!!

And that is just ONE of many incredibly swoony and humorous scenes in Falling for Fallon.

I absolutely loved the chemistry between Emmett and Fallon! The playful flirting, the forbidden tension, the way he becomes her safe place—her haven from the storm that is her life.

Fallon is lost and desperately reaching for the right direction, and Emmett leads her to discovering what is right for her—and only her. 

It’s a beautiful book that will have you giggling, and swooning, and soothing your aching heart all at once!

SYNOPSIS:

Somehow, at the ripe age of twenty-three, I find myself in line to marry a man I don’t love. 

I grind my teeth right there at the dinner table as my mother and father go on and on about how proud they are of me. How proud they are that I, Fallon Addington, will no longer be the black sheep of the family and become the daughter they’ve always wanted. 

Marry Derek and they’ll finally accept me. 
Marry Derek and they’ll stop shoving men from their social circle in my direction. 
Marry Derek and become the spitting image of my mother—the perfect corporate wife with a face full of make-up and not a hair out of line. 
Marry Derek and all the shame and guilt will disappear.

But then… I embarrassingly flash Emmett Lanning my bra, and suddenly my parents’ hopes and dreams are burning up in flames, right there along with my heart.

Pink Bits by JB Heller

A FEW THOUGHTS. . .

Let’s talk about the look your hubs gives you when you laugh out loud while reading. . LOL

Gah! I can’t even believe how much I love this book! It was exactly what I needed!

Simply put, it is fall-out-of-your-comfy-chair HILARIOUS!!!

It’s full of romantic sweetness, tons of heart, and so many awkward moments that you will blush with discomfort just reading them! (In a good way!) And you will love, love, love these characters—especially Reagan, with all her quirky uniqueness:) She’s the best!

I loved every page!!

SYNOPSIS:

Did you know the medical term for a butt crack is intergluteal cleft?

My name is Reagan, and spouting random facts like this one at inopportune moments is my affliction. I’m chronically awkward, socially inept and completely lack a filter. Believe it or not, men do not find these attractive traits. 

When my sexy-as-sin neighbour barges into my apartment at the arse crack of dawn, everything changes. For some strange reason, my brand of crazy doesn’t send him running for the hills. Instead, he settles in for a nap on my couch…

Oh, and did I mention he was completely naked?

Trailer Park Heart

March 12, 2019 by admin

Trailer Park Heart by Rachel Higginson

A FEW THOUGHTS. . .

This book filled my heart with ALL. THE. BEST. FEELS!

A headstrong, single mom meets a just-as-headstrong blast from her past. Add in a long-kept secret that he is determined to uncover, and get ready for some seriously intense interactions. . . the best kind!!

Rachel Higginson always knows how to tug on all your heartstrings!

Trailer Park Heart by Rachel Higginson
BUY ON AMAZON

SYNOPSIS:

Trailer park born and raised. It’s my legacy. That’s how my mama lived. And that’s how her mama lived. It’s the life I was born into and it’s the life I swore I would leave the second I was old enough to make it out.

Only legacies have a funny way of sneaking up on you. An innocent decision the night of high school graduation led to a series of complications in my plans to escape. 

Seven years later, I’ve resigned myself to this small town and the roots I’m tied to. Nothing could make me leave. And nothing could make me spill the secrets that keep me here.

Until he walks back into town with a chip on his shoulder and a stupid hunch nobody else in town has been smart enough to follow.

Levi Cole is my opposite. Born on the right side of the tracks with family money to spare, he’s the kind of black sheep that can afford to be rebellious—because his family will always pay for his mistakes. He’s also the only living heir to Cole Family Farms, after his brother Logan was killed in duty seven years ago.

He sees something in my life that he thinks he has a right to. But he’s wrong. And obnoxious. And he needs to take his stubborn good looks and that intense way he looks at me and go back to wherever it was he came from. 

I know better than to trust men like him. I was born and raised in a trailer park, I know nothing good happens to girls like me—girls with trailer park lives and trailer park hearts. Especially from gorgeous, kind, pigheaded men like him.

What He Never Knew

March 5, 2019 by admin

What He Never Knew by Kandi Steiner

A FEW THOUGHTS. . .

Sarah and Reese’s story will steal every breath from your lungs and every tear from your eyes.

If there is ever one thing you get from a Kandi Steiner novel, it is soul-shaking emotion. And how she shares Sarah and Reese’s story takes it to another level with their incredible music and inspiring courage.

I love what they find in each other. They find connection, they find healing, they find…everything. And it is beyond beautiful.

Go grab the tissues and one-click it now. You will not want to miss this one.

What He Never Knew by Kandi Steiner
BUY ON AMAZON

SYNOPSIS:

I never learn my lesson.

And I always want what I can’t have.

When Sarah Henderson walks into my life, I tell myself she’s off limits. She’s my student, sixteen years younger than me, and my boss’s niece. It doesn’t matter that I see the same pain reflected in her eyes that I have in my own, or that the dead organ better known as my heart kicks to life when she’s around. 

I’ve been here before, and I know how this ends.

It’s been two years since I fell for the last woman I knew I couldn’t have, the one with the ring on her finger that I chose to ignore. 

Two years of trying to overcome that heartache when Sarah slides into my life. 

Another woman I can’t have. Another woman I can’t stop myself from wanting. 

I never learn my lesson, but with a constant reminder of how that last forbidden love burned, I think I’ve finally learned this one.

This time, I won’t chase what’s off limits. 

This time, I’m staying away. 

And I’ll keep telling myself that until I believe it.

Verity

February 26, 2019 by admin

Verity by Colleen Hoover

A FEW THOUGHTS. . .

There is an exquisitely eerie energy that hums within each page of this book, like a palpable, dangerous thing.

My first few thoughts after finishing Verity. . .

“What the. . .”

“Holy crap. . .”

“I don’t even know which way is up anymore.”

Things you must know before beginning. . . (not spoilers)

1. Even though it has a pretty cover, this is not at all a typical CoHO novel. Like…at all. 

2. This book is not for the faint of heart.

3. There will be a couple moments where you’ll feel like, “I don’t know, Colleen. . . I’m pretty freaked out.” But hang in there. . . CoHo knows what she’s doing. Trust her.

4. This will be one of the best thrillers you ever read.

Verity by Colleen Hoover
BUY ON AMAZON

SYNOPSIS:

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. 
Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of the night their family was forever altered. 

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her. Sexy. Twisted. Consuming.

Dear Heart, I Hate You

January 22, 2019 by admin

Dear Heart, I Hate You by Jenn Sterling

A FEW THOUGHTS. . .

Let me start by sighing dreamily and saying, “Aaawww.”

Usually, I’m not very interested in a long distance romance because I always thought the best part of a love story was the interaction between the two lead characters. 

I’m so glad I was wrong!

The connection between Cal and Jules is felt instantly and in every word and sweet long-distance gesture they make. Their feelings for each other are so strong and so genuine that you root for them from the very first page!

And I love how Jenn Sterling filled this story with so much REAL-ness. The emotions and heartbreak are messy. They’re complicated. Everything seems unfixable. But just…hang in there with them. It’s so worth it!

Dear Heart, I Hate You by Jenn Sterling
BUY ON AMAZON

SYNOPSIS:

It should have just been a fling. A weekend filled with panty-melting kisses that stayed in Boston where they belonged. But the second I boarded the airplane back home to California, I felt a piece of me stay with him. I wasn’t prepared to feel that way, but I guess that’s what happens when you meet the guy version of yourself.  

Cal and I shared the same ambitious personality, both fighting to make headlining names for ourselves in our industries. We had the same thoughts and feelings on love; it should happen to other people. We both agreed that work came first and everything else came second.

But try telling that to my stupid heart. An organ I was certain was closed for business. I had no idea how I was going to make this relationship work, but I was willing to try. What if Cal didn’t feel the same way?

Shelter by Stephanie Fournet

A FEW THOUGHTS. . .

I’ve been longing for a book like this recently!

Books like this one, with all the heart and emotion and angst that sinks deep into your bones, are the reason I fell in love with romance novels!

Elise Cormier has hated Cole Whitehurst since she was five years old. He’s always known just how to make her feel dumb, shabby, and — worst of all — invisible.

But that’s where Elise learns Cole’s terrible secret and why he is the way he is. Despite how he’s always treated her, Elise becomes his ally.

Cole Whitehurst has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Day in and day out, it’s up to him to keep his mother and sister safe. He’s used to giving up everything he wants in order to protect them.

And there’s nothing he wants more than Elise Cormier.

Cole has no business falling for his housekeeper’s daughter, but how could he resist? She’s funny. She’s real. And he trusts her with his life.

But, as Cole knows, loving someone comes with a price, and it may take him years to pay it.
