Review: Loving Liv

Loving Liv Loving Liv by Stacey Kennedy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loving Liv gave me more than I anticipated. I had planned to read a couple of chapters, nothing more, but once I got started, I could not put it down.

The chemistry between the characters was insane, sucking me right into the story. I was desperately powering through the story, absorbing every interaction. I could not get enough of them, I adored how they played off each other, and I certainly want to read more about them.

In fact, this has left me wanting to find out what books the side characters are from. I’m curious about the world we were introduced to. The BDSM was not as intense as I like such stories to be, but the chemistry between the characters more than hooked me, leaving me curious about how the other stories play out.

Without a doubt, I’ll be reading more of the author’s work in the future.

Review: Miss Austen

Miss Austen Miss Austen by Gill Hornby
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If asked for their favourite classic, a lot of people will name an Austen book. I’ve never been such a person, but that did not stop me from being interested in Miss Austen. I’m always happy to find out more about the past, especially when it’s done through mixing fact and fiction, but I think this is one of those books best read if you’re an Austen fan.

Rather than focusing on the best-known Austen, Miss Austen focuses on Cassandra. We get some information from early in life, but most focuses on her later years. There were many things that had me wanting to read on, but I was never sucked complete in.

I believe this was due to the fact I wasn’t quite the right audience. However, I’m sure fans of Austen will find this homage to the sisters enjoyable.

Release Blitz: Dirty Hookup.




Title: Dirty Hookup
A Slayers Hockey Series Novel
Author: Mira Lyn Kelly
Genre: Hockey Romance
Release Date: March 31, 2020



Blurb

One look and I know… this chick hates me.
I should walk away, find some puck bunny to gleefully sit on my lap and tell me what a big, hot, hockey stud I am--totally true, BTW. But there’s just something about this feisty redhead I can’t let go. She’s got an edge to her that’s sexy as hell and a smart mouth that’s been tying me up since the night I met her.

She tells me to forget it, we’re not happening. But this isn’t the kind of woman a guy ever forgets. Especially when the air starts to sizzle and pop every time we get within ten feet of each other. She’s in my head and under my skin, and all I can think about is the way she looked at me that one time. Like she already knew how it could be between us.

I’m not the kind of guy a girl like her takes home… But maybe I want to be.

Excerpt

Unfreakingbelievable.
Ducking around a corner, I press my back to the wall and suck one shaky breath after another until the spots behind my eyes finally clear, along with any wayward thoughts about a third Slayers hockey player needing a bed in the ER.
I can’t believe it. After all these years.
Quinn O’Brian.
Two feet in front of me. Giving me that same smile. The one that put my belly into free fall the first time I saw it. Left me breathless. And then less than a day later, left me humiliated. Devastated. Working up fantasies about the wrath I’d rain down on him if I ever saw him again.
So much for that badassery. My knees barely held me when I looked up to find those stupid sea-green eyes twinkling back at me like some Disney hero come to life.
Stupid eyes.
Stupid shoulders and muscles-everywhere body.
Stupid sandy blond hair standing up like some foolish girl just had her hands in it for the last hour.
And that introduction.
Blowing out a breath, I shake my head.
He didn’t even recognize me. Though why I ever thought he might is beyond me. Six years later and I’m still reading more into that night than there ever was. More into those soul-deep stares and slow touches. More into those tender words that turned out to be total lies.

Blurb

With her secrets about to come out and her career on the brink of disaster, she turns to the one man who might understand.
  
Pop star PJ Cantrell's life and career are threatened when an angry blackmailer uncovers the truth about her hidden past. PJ knows it has to be someone close, someone she trusts. That makes the betrayal hurt all the more.
She turns to long-time friend Gabe Sawyer for help but finds more than she bargained for. As she quickly discovers she wants more from him than friendship and support, she has to wonder what he'll think of her when he finally learns the truth about her past. 

Gabe Sawyer is ready for a change. He’s built an empire in the hotel industry, but it’s time for him to find something to bring back the passion he once felt for his work. He’s tired of living in hotel suites, no matter how swanky the surroundings might be.

When PJ Cantrell shows up on his doorstep, she brings the wrong kind of passion his way. He’s left trying to bury the attraction he’s long felt for her. Giving in to that is the last thing PJ needs.

Steamy romance meets heart-stopping suspense in the Sutton Billionaires Series. This is the fourth book in the series but it can be read as a standalone story with no cliffhangers. If you’d rather start at book one, grab The Billionaire Deal by Lori Ryan. A shorter version of this book was previously released as part of the Sutton Capital Series.

Review: Attracting Aubrey

Attracting Aubrey Attracting Aubrey by Avery Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Attracting Aubrey was a story I had to devour in a single sitting. Once I got started, I could not get enough. The story had my attention from the first page, and I was desperate to see how everything played out.

With great characters, an entertaining story, and plenty of moments to leave you smiling, the story will have you turning the pages at a rapid pace. There were some details that were a bit too predictable, certain elements that I saw coming well in advance, but this was not enough to take away from my enjoyment. It was a quick read that held the attention throughout, and I happily devoured it.

All in all, another winner from the author.

Title: Broken Lies
Series: The Regretful Lies Duet #1
Author: Gina Azzi
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 23, 2020



Blurb

The most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

Zoe Clark doesn’t stand a chance.

As Hollywood’s favorite piece of man-candy, I’ve screwed hotter and blown off sexier.

But listening to my new personal trainer shout commands while on location in the Seychelles is its own kind of sweet torture.

Because her wicked curves, smart mouth, and violet-streaked hair captivate me more than they piss me off.

She makes me feel again when I’m desperate to remain numb.

Trusting her is a mistake, confiding in her is my downfall.

Because all her pretty words are lies laced with deceit.

Excerpt

The only person I can focus on is Eli Holt.
Hollywood.
And the incredible shade of his eyes.
The hard line of his jaw.
The slightest shadow of stubble grazing the planes of his face.
 “You ready for this, Zoe?” He breathes it out, the sound of my name on his lips doing things, delicious things, to my insides.
And in this moment, I know, just know everything is about to change.
 I’m going to take this job offer.
I’m going to fly to wherever Hollywood is filming.
And I’m going to lose a piece of myself to Eli Holt.

Review: Easy to Fall

Easy to Fall Easy to Fall by W. Winters
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Easy to Fall is the final book in the Hard to Love series, and I have very mixed feelings about this one. I wanted to give this one a three-star rating, but something that really annoys me happened with this one and I found I could not bring myself to round up my rating.

Throughout the Hard to Love series, readers have needed to be aware of an entire universe created by the author. A lot of knowledge is needed, but with this one I finally thought I was wrapping my head around the information. In fact, I was curious to see how everything came together.

Then the thing that annoys me happened. The story came to an end for these characters, but there are still questions remaining about the overarching storyline. At no point was there a warning this would happen. I feel as though I read a series, only for a conclusion to never come.

Sure, I enjoyed the way certain elements played out for our main characters. There were some interesting twists and details I enjoyed watching. However, it was not enough to remove the fact I feel cheated by the lack of solid conclusion. If I had been aware of this from the start, I would not have committed myself to the series without first having made myself aware of the entire world.

I’m sure anyone that has read the other books in the Cross world will enjoy this one, but for someone that has only read the Hard to Love series, Easy to Fall could very well cause some disappointment. I know it did for me, as I was hoping everything would be tied up with this one.

Review: Change in Strategy

Change in Strategy Change in Strategy by Sierra Hill
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After the first book in the Change of Hearts series, I was eager to dive into Change in Strategy. I was curious to see what the second book would bring, and happily devoured the story.

As I had hoped, this was a book that had me addicted throughout. Once I started, I was hooked. I was desperate to see how things played out, turning the pages and not wanting to put the book down. I may not have loved it as much as I loved the first book in the series, but it certainly had me addicted.

Although I was addicted, I will be honest and say I wish certain elements had gone into more detail. There was the potential for a lot of emotion outside of the romance, but I never felt it quite as much as I had hoped to. It was an addictive story, but it didn’t quite hit the emotional notes I had hoped for.

All in all, another addictive read. I cannot wait to see what the third book in the series brings.

If opposites attract, my brother’s best friend and I are perfect for each other.

I’m a balanced, ambitious ER nurse. He’s the immature guy in a successful band who’s basically along for this ride called life.

Everything’s going great between us until the night he makes a stupid mistake that changes everything. When I can’t see a future with him, I end it.

But the two of us are contractually obligated to go on a road trip across the country, and since his reality show will be filming us, we have to act like we’re a couple.

He blasts music I can’t stand, stops at strange roadside attractions, and chooses my least favorite restaurants. Despite all that, I still see the sides of him that I was starting to fall in love with.

Can we find our way back to each other, or will he just keep driving me crazy?
