Dishing Up Love by KD Robicheaux - Top Recommendation!

You know how there are stories you've been looking forward to for a while, but you don't even realize how much you want them until you start reading?

That's Erin & Curtis.

My Review:

What a DELICIOUS story!! Curtis & Erin are amazing characters & their meet cute is SUPER CUTE! I love their banter, their chemistry, their ... everything! I seriously loved everything about this story. Not only do we get an adorable & fun couple, we get a decadent tour of New Orleans, a beautiful friendship between Erin & Emmy (and if you're a No Trespassing fan, you'll enjoy catching up w/ that couple), a depth of emotion that's artfully choreographed, and an HEA that will make you swoon.

SWOON! : )

My Review: 

Leo & Danika grew up across the street from each other, but Leo didn't really know that. Danika had a huge crush on him, & was painfully shy, so their interactions could be counted on one hand, really. Despite this, and him moving away to start a life w/ his HS girlfriend, Dani never really let go of the hope of falling in love. 

Still, when he makes a move after his divorce, she doesn't quite believe it. This made for quite an amusing, laugh out loud scene where he has to spell it out for her. Once he does that, their relationship heats up pretty quickly!

Whew, Leo & Danika steamed up the pages! 

They don't go public w/ their relationship right away because he has two kids, who she has interactions with (and I love love love Dani's relationship w/ his kids!!), and his ex-wife is a .... well, she's unpleasant. This causes some issues... I may have wanted to smack Leo HARD a couple of times & he would have deserved it!  

Still, I liked the pacing & I loved the groveling & I absolutely fell in love w/ Danika, Leo, & his kiddos! This was a super quick, fabulous read!  I love this series!!!  : )

Drowning by Hope Jones

Hello my party peeps!!

I hope you're all doing well & getting through this crazy thing we call 2020 with lots of great reads!

Today, Hope Jones has a new release!

It's emotional & heartbreaking & satisfying! 

: ) 

My Review:

Whew!! Cam & CeCe have a very emotional story. I had a little trouble connecting w/ Cecelia at first, which I think is because she's struggling w/ her own connections. Her reasons for divorcing Cam are heartbreaking, and when they're thrown back together, their initial meeting doesn't go well at all. They have some struggles!!

I loved their hearts. The way they never lost their love for one another in all the years they were apart. I love their friendships w/ supporting characters, and the way those friends encourage them in their path back to one another. And the Epilogue? REALLY loved that!!! : )

The First Score by Amie Knight

Happy Release Day to Amie!

I was blessed with an ARC of this story & I LOVED it!!

I loved the first book, The Red Zone, as well.

Both are 10+++ star reads & I highly recommend them! 

: ) 

My Review:

Oh, I just love Ollie so much!!! His heart melted me right along w/ Hazel. I also love her nickname for him. *heart eyes* 

I'm normally not a fan of the back & forth in time story telling, but the way this (and The Red Zone) is written, it flows really well & doesn't go on that way through the whole story (just the beginning for this one), so I actually enjoyed how it was done. We get to see the beginnings of this friendship & love, and the solid foundation. Hazel has some things to work through, for sure! 

Love the banter, the emotion, the family. It's slow burn w/o feeling slow. It's swoony & a really fun read! : ) 

*twloha*

Blurb/Links:

I loved all of life's firsts, which was why I’d been saving mine for one girl, my older sister’s best friend—Hazel Jones.

She was tough and sarcastic with walls around her heart as tall as a football stadium, but I knew she was the one for me.

Desperate times called for desperate measures and I’d have done anything to make her mine. 

Like create a fake online persona. 

Lie about my age.

Pretend I wasn’t some naive virgin. 

And catfish the hell out of the love of my life.

Crazy Beautiful by Jessica Prince

Happy Happy Happy!

I'm so happy that y'all will get to meet Jase & Poppy!!!

Review:

"You're my favorite person."

- I LOVE THIS LINE!  

Poppy & Jase! Poppy & Jase!!! 

I love the pacing to this story - it's a fake marriage that feels real. It's friends to lovers with a twist. It's sweet and STEAMY and heartache and healing and definitely beautiful! And it's not JUST about Poppy & Jase - we get to catch up w/ Farah & Cannon, & Ben... We get to see some of our favorite characters unite to solve a mystery. We get a glimpse into Shane & Jensen & I'm looking forward to seeing their story play out. This installment of the series gets two HUGE thumbs up!! : )

Highly recommend picking both books up.  

TTFN!!

Through the Lens by K.K. Allen

Happy Release Day to K.K. Allen!  

She's a new-to-me author & I was so intrigued by the premise / blurb for this story I had to give it a try!  

Blurb / Links: 

Sometimes what can be seen through the lens is a skewed version of reality. A bent perspective. Manufactured, therefore losing all sense of authenticity. And sometimes all it takes is a different angle to see what’s right in front of you.

I admit, the gorgeous cover sucked me in, too!  ;) 

My Review: 

OMH!  First of all, this is book 3 in a series of connected stand alone stories.  I haven't read the first two, but follow the author on IG & from the moment I saw this cover & read the blurb, I HAD to read this story.  I'm not a fan of the enemies to lovers trope, in general, because I really can't get into characters being cruel to one another and then *poof* they're in love.  With this story, although there is quite a fair amount of angst, and Maggie & Desmond do enjoy antagonizing one another, neither crosses the line into being mean, which I appreciate.

Maggie & Desmond both pulled me in from the minute they appeared on the page.  I loved Maggie's confidence & my heart broke for her the more I learned about the battles she was facing.  Same with Desmond.  I cheered for his successes & wanted to hug him at his internal feelings of needing to be "more."  

Throughout their story, they have witty banter and and unexpected emerging respect for one another as they get to know each other & toss away their pre-conceived ideas.  I love the progression of their relationship, and of their relationships with others in the story!!  

For fans of the series, scenes with Chloe & Gavin, and Monica & Zach will give just the right amount of "where are they now" I think.  And for anyone picking this story up as I did, there's just enough that you feel like you know them w/o being "lost" to their stories.  


There's also just the right amount of steam - the story's focus is on Maggie & Desmond's relationship, but there are definitely some "burn the pages" scenes in there as well!!  All in all, this beautiful, heartfelt story will give you some tears & some laughs, and leave you with an overall feeling of a *happy sigh* - at least, it did for me!!  : )  

Also, this is the final book in a series of stand alone stories, and they're all available in Kindle Unlimited if you'd like to check them out, too.  

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts!  

TTFN!

Crazy Beautiful by Jessica Prince - Cover Reveal!

Well now, isn't this a Crazy Beautiful cover?!?  : )  

About the book:

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐎𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬.⁣

⁣

Poppy Weston had been burned enough times by undeserving men to know her heart was best left under lock and key. She was content with her life, even with the lack of romance. Then Jase Hyland walked into Redbud Inn and offered her something she couldn’t refuse. In return, all she had to do was marry him.⁣

⁣

Jase had seen firsthand the kind of damage relationships caused, and he wanted nothing to do with it. He’d been taught from a young age that the only things that should matter to a man were wealth and power. However, all it took was a series of events to lead him down a path he never expected to travel.⁣

⁣

It was supposed to be simple. No feelings, no emotions, just two friends entering into a mutually beneficial arrangement.⁣
