Second Down Darling by Lex Martin

Happy new release! This story is a great addition to this single dad series. I love Jake & Charlie & their friendship. 

My review:

Oh my goodness, Jake & Charlotte are fabulous! Just the way they love each other (after Jake pulls his head outta his hindquarters!) is swoony. I adore Asher! He steals some scenes, the cutie.

Also stealing scenes - again - BILLY! Good gravy, his book is next & I really hope he is as genuine & playful on the path to his HEA as he's been helping everyone else to theirs. I want to see him successfully balance the depth I know is in his heart with his goofy antics.

We also get some great Roxy moments. I love her & Charlie's friendship. I love that Charlie finds her tribe here. And a pupper. 🧡🧡🧡

Now, back to Jake & Charlie. They have to battle some pretty heavy things, but I really felt like they did it well, for the most part. They do have a brief SO (seemingly obligatory) not-quite-breakup that made me wrinkle my nose at both of them, but it was understandable.

I adored the story, tho!!

😍😍😍

Have you read this series yet? I'd love to hear what you think! 

TTFN!!

Cole by C.E. Johnson

 I have loved every single book by C.E. Johnson! 

From the moment I read Watch Me Drown on the recommendation of Susan Stoker, I've been hooked. 

Her latest release, Cole, is the last book in her current series, and it did not disappoint! 

My Review:

Ahhh, finally! Cole & Steph have been friends for as long as they can remember. And they've been in love with each other for ages. Of course, they have hurdles to get through because of Cole's past, his friendship with Jaxon, and neither of them wanting to rock the friend-group dynamic! 

I love their closeness & banter, the special things that are just "theirs" outside of the larger group. I love Cole's attention to, understanding of, and sincere friendship with Levi. I love the co-parenting relationship depicted with Isaac & Tori for Levi. And I ADORE the mischievous Freddy!!! 🤣

This was a great finale to the series, and we miiight get a peek into the next connected series. 🧡 There's suspense & steam & humor (Zayn! Lololol) & LOVE!! 

😍😍😍😍

Before We Fall by Aurora Rose Reynolds

 Get ready to SWOON!!! 

My Review: 

Tucker & Miranda's story can be read as a complete standalone, and fully enjoyed. HOWEVER, I would be remiss if I didn't highly recommend reading Until Willow first, just because you get more Clay & Willow, Miles & Winter & Skye & I just L O V E them all & feel like you would, too. 😁

Okay, so now on to Tucker. Dude is INtense and spicy and loves to bring the HEAT🔥🔥🔥🔥 to the bedroom. He's also sweet, charming, and full of swoon. 😉 Miranda is - well, first of all, Miranda is one of my al time favorite names, so I loved her right off the bat. Plus, she is sweet & a great mom, a supportive friend, and matches Tucker's heat level perfectly. *grin* 

I love the completeness of this story. The supporting characters are written well, some of whom we'd met in Willow & Clay's story, & I was more than happy to catch up with them. There's a mystery to go along with the romance of our main characters, and I enjoyed watching Tucker & Miles work the case. 

Highly enjoyable read - highly recommend!!

Have you discovered the amazing ARR yet? 

I've been hooked ever since her very first book, Until November. The Mayson family - and all the goodness that comes with them - have been in my heart for a decade now, I think. 

I highly recommend every single ARR story. 

Let me know what you think!

I'll Just Date Myself by Lani Lynn Vale

 Are you ready for another LLV release?! 

This one is FANTASTIC! 

I'm so very sorry to see this series come to an end, but also - as you know with LLV - the new series is connected to this one, so we're not really saying goodbye,,. : ) 

My Review:

I love love LOVE Kobe & Folsom's story!!! They have a very interesting beginning, and even when they seem like they're annoyed with each other, it's sort of ... playful. That's not exactly it, but close. 

They're protective of each other, sweetly spicy, and deal with the suspense going on in relatable ways. I love them together so much!! Love getting to know JP, catching up with the Gator Bait family, and meeting Felix! Plus, some awesome connections & cameos... just highly enjoyed this!!

Also looking forward to the next series! 

😍😍😍

I know a couple books in this series seemed like they were more miss than hits for me, but I've loved the series as a whole, so very much! And all of the characters - they are a family brought together by circumstance and fate - and maybe a little help from a couple certain someones... *happy sigh* 

Let me know what you've thought of the series!

Limitless by C.B. Noy

 Happy New Release to C.B. Noy!! 

Limitless is the beginning of a spin off series from her Mountain Grove series & I highly recommend that series, too! ; ) 

My Review:

Rico Suave! Billy Joel! Rico & River's story is full of Billy Joel song titles, and I highly enjoyed that particular quirk in their banter. Huge fan! ❤️❤️❤️

Also a huge fan of the stories this author has created! This little town and its inhabitants... so much goodness here! Rico & River have an instant connection, but it's not until he makes it his mission to rescue her sister that the sparks really fly. As Sophia learns to trust River, they both open up to Rico, forming the family they all need. 

Speaking of family - Rico's clan is a riot! His brothers are all protective alphas, and they give each other so much heck, but all in love. You can feel how much they mean to each other in every conversation. And they, along with their parents, pull River & Fia right into the fold! 

I love the banter, the bonding, the sprinkle of steam, and the suspense! Also, the hints of the upcoming couples add so much anticipation! 😁

The story is about Rico & River falling in love, of course, but the family & friendships are woven so well into it you can feel the depth of MORE. 

Also, there are kittens!

Favorite Mistake by Jessica Prince

 

Happy New Release to Jessica Prince!

This is one of my favorite covers from this series, too. 

It's playful & sweet & gorgeous! 

And inside is one of my favorite stories of the series. 

My Review:

Holton & Lyric are adorable!! And also 🔥🔥🔥🔥! Like, they get super spicy! Holt is fierce in the bedroom & Lyric matches him, which is exactly what they both need in a partner. They have some things to work through, of course, and Holt has to do some groveling. I really liked the way he apologized (not the first time!) and the way Lyric reacts (also the first time!). Their banter & conversations & support of each other was mwah! 💋

Their story is sweet & spicy, suspenseful & so much fun to read! And I LOVE Churro! Seriously the cutest. It was nice to see Lyric's friendships with the crew, and to catch up a bit. I adore Deva's support & defense of Lyric. It was neat to see her get to show her confidence!

 Favorite Mistake is on my favorites shelf! 

😍😍😍😍

Special Kind of Twisted by Lani Lynn Vale

It's that time! 

Time for a new LLV! *cheers* 

My Review: 

Ummm.

So, I think this is the perfect title for Greer & Davis. I mean, not so much them as their book. There's a lot of convoluted story telling here, a lot of it doesn't make much sense, and I'm seriously confused as to WTH happened. 

Why did these two have such a dislike for each other? No idea. Actually, did they ever really dislike each other or was it just teenage jealousy over sharing their bestie? Idk, but it's confusing. There's some family stuff & a suspense portion that made zero sense to me. There's a random fishing trip where Greer is injured and then the injury just kind of disappears. There are a few scenes that seem sprinkled in for an unknown purpose... I just don't get it.

Now, I know all of that sounds bad, but I'm rating this 4 stars! What kind of twisted logic is that? (See what I did there? 😉) 

Well, the thing is, even though I was grossed out by a few things and confused by a few more, I really, REALLY liked Greer & Davis. I ENJOYED their story. I love the way they are with each other, with Sara, with the Davis family & the MC family. I love seeing more of Sunny, Kobe, Folsom, etc. I love the quirky birds & Greer's job. 

At the end of the day, this story entertained me, and I enjoyed it overall. I'm not going to ignore the things that made me 🤔, but if I was entertained, I imagine others will be as well!
