Dash by Shae Scott - New Release!

 I'm a little bit late, but Shae Scott has a fabulous new release!!

I really enjoyed the last half especially, and am looking forward to the other books in the series!

All these Berkshire Boys have a story to tell! 

Dash is a best friend's girl story - but there's a twist, of sorts. 

My Review:

Dash is swoony & funny & romantic & steamy & a well rounded emotional romance that is a great start to this new series!!

The story starts out with heartbreak - grab tissues. I probably shouldn't have started the story on Halloween, because it's the anniversary of my dad's death, and reading the prologue of this story ... I wasn't really emotionally ready. It made it difficult for me to get into the tone of the first half of the story, with Aria & Dash. That's not the story's fault, tho! It's well written & well paced. Just, my advice, don't start it on an already emotional day!  : ) 

Okay! SO! Dash & Aria start out as friends - he's trying to help her jump back into the dating pool, but not get splashed by the DBs! LOL As they spend time together, having Bachelor nights & searching dating sites for the right guy for her, things start to shift. And then there's the tequila, doing what tequila does best... *grin* 

There are lots of text conversations that give LOL moments. There's the family connection w/ the guys - Carter, Drew & Silas. I love these guys & the way they continue to look after Aria after their loss. I didn't so much love Silas for a little bit there, but he totally redeemed himself! 

I should stop now, as this review is getting long & is basically just gushing over the swoon. I highly recommend this story for the emotion, the banter, the humor, the romance, and because Dash the playboy becomes Dash the swoony boyfriend & I loved that transformation!

TTFN!

Take A Number by Amy Daws

 Are you ready for a new Kindle Unlimited read?

A romantic comedy?

Steaaaaaam?

Amy Daws is one of my favorite authors to follow in Instagram. I discovered her when she, Meghan Quinn, & Sara Ney kept having shenanigans together & ... I think they crashed a wedding in Texas? Anyway, through that, I was following Amy when she started writing, incognito, at her local tire shop. She'd had a bit of writer's block & lo & behold, her magic returned at this complimentary smorgasboard of coffee & treats while waiting for oil changes & such. 

This adventure turned into inspiration for a story - Wait With Me - it exploded all over social media, local news channels, national news channels... And an entire waiting room series was born. I LOVE it!! 

The latest installment, Take A Number, is about a bakery owner & the silent investor who ... well, check it out & see what ensues! You'll definitely get some good laughs!! : ) 

My Review:

Dean & Norah's story is sweet like a croinut and spicy like a jalepeno popper. Okay, it's probably actually a bit spicier than that, since the cream cheese really cuts down on the ... ya know what? You don't care about my snacking preferences. Okay! Back to Dean & Norah! : ) 

I enjoyed their halting friendship. Neither was quite sure that's what they had, but they got to know each other as they navigated their fake dating relationship. They grew a friendship, added some benefits, and realized they didn't want it to be fake any more. The only things I didn't really like there were how Dean reacted to Norah's suggestion they make it real & the length of their SOB (seemingly obligatory breakup). 

But the final leg to their HEA... SWOON! And there are LOTS of LOL moments to enjoy, not only between them, but with Kate & Lynsey, too. I love the dynamic of their friendships w/ Dean! 

So, a very enjoyable read & great addition to this series!

It's available in KU, so you can click here & get it!

Let me know what you think! And if you've read the other stories or about Amy's adventures at Tires Tires Tires!  : )

Bittersweet by Jessica Prince

 Another FANTASTIC, emotional story from Jessica Prince! 

I'm definitely a fan of her work. ;)  

My Review:

Jensen & Shane have such a beautiful, and yes, bittersweet, story! Their connection from the beginning when they were teens is sparky & fun, even as there's heaviness there. The reasons for their separation are heartbreaking. Their reconnection is wonderful! 

And Brantley is A CARD! He is the perfect adorable bit of humor in this story. "I'm okay!" LOL 

I normally don't enjoy back & forth past/present stories as much. In general, this style annoys me. Thankfully, this one is written SO WELL I wasn't annoyed. I was sucked into the story. I was intrigued. And at times, I was teary. This story hit all the perfect points of enjoyment - family, friends, steam, suspense, emotion, laughter, tears, and an absolutely fantastic HEA! 

Another 10+ star read from one of my favorite story tellers!!

Before all this virus stuff, I was supposed to get to meet Jessica at a signing. 

I miss signings. 

I hope we're able to have the ones next year that have been rescheduled. 

TTFN!!

Perfect Wreckage by Catherine Cowles

 Happy Release Day!

This story is wonderful & beautiful (just like the cover!) & I highly recommend everything by Catherine Cowles. I've enjoyed all her stories. 

My Review: 

What a perfect title for a perfectly amazing story! Kenna & Crosby have a slightly antagonistic relationship in the beginning. She judges his "carefree" attitude as being way too frivolous, and he just really enjoys getting a reaction out of her! His shenanigans are quite often LOL funny!  

Kenna's back story just broke my heart, so for her - and when she opens up to Crosby - TEARS! But, they're the cleansing kind, the empathetic kind. They're the kind of tears that make you stop for a moment & just say, "DANG! This is a GREAT story!" The emotions on every page are SPOT ON. 

I love their banter. I love the friendships highlighted alongside their journey to an HEA. They also get to have some fun steamy times, because why not? *grin*  

10+++ stars & I highly recommend this one! I can honestly say I highly recommend anything coming from this author. There hasn't been even a twinge of disappointment in anything I've read, and I'm looking forward to the next adventure. Griffin used his page-time wisely & there's a certain scene that seriously came out of nowhere & gave me a HUGE LOL moment! 

Griffin & Caelyn are gonna be a trip!!

Coming Soon!

 I've had the opportunity this month & last to read some fabulous ARCs! 

And the release dates for the two below are coming up, so I thought I'd do a post with my reviews in case you want to check out the amazing authors & other stories in their wheelhouses to prepare.

Or pre-order.

That's always an option! ; ) 

(I'm trying something new w/ the screen shots. I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Should I go back to my original way of sharing the reviews/covers?) 

    Have you read these authors already?

Do you loooove them as much as I do?

Share your thoughts!! 

TTFN!

The Path To Us by Jennifer Van Wyk

Today, I share with you an amazing, emotional, beautiful story about a single mom, her precocious & sassy daughter, and the family that's always by their sides.

My Review:

Beau & Addy are meant to be - and everyone knows it, but them! Their story has some heartache & healing to be done, but even with some heavy subject matter, their story is full of smiles & feel good moments. I love the pacing - we get some glimpses into the past, as their history is a large part of their story, but the past doesn't overwhelm the present or their future. There are some wonderful supporting characters (including some creatively named pets, adorable!!) & a chance to reconnect with an old friend.

It's a slow burn, but when these two ignite... *fans self* HOT! 

And of course, there is Zoey, who does a great job in stealing scenes & hearts. Fantastic!!

I've been obsessed w/ JVW's writing since the first book I picked up, and pretty much devour every word. She has a unique way of writing angst that I don't really find angsty (angsty annoys me, so this is a good thing)! I feel the emotions without wanting to chuck my kindle halfway across the room.

Let me know what you think!!

TTFN!
