Description:

The second he walked through the door, she could tell he was trouble.

Grace knows better than to fall for a Hollywood bad boy like Scott Deacon. An arrogant movie star with a troubled past and a big honking chip on his shoulder? No, thank you. He may be sex on wheels, but beneath the charming facade he’s just another cocky jackass destined to make her job more difficult.

Except…

The more time they spend together, the hotter the fire between them burns. With every flirtatious smile and brush of his hand, she feels her defenses crumbling.

She wants to hate him, but instead she’s in danger of losing all control.

Description:

Carter Sloane is famous for one thing: winning cases. He’s sharp, astute, and always gets his way. In his private life, he’s constantly fumbling his way around when it comes to raising his two nieces.

When he moves into a new office, he just can’t take his eyes off the fiercely independent woman across the street. He’d love to touch and kiss that irresistible body.

Valentina “Val” Connor is proud of her booming fragrance company. If only she were half as successful in her love life… Between trusting the wrong men and sheer bad luck, Val is convinced she’ll never find the one.

However, the sexy lawyer in the neighborhood with his sophisticated charm and sex-appeal is hell bent on proving to her that she is wrong. Val’s senses warn her to stay away from men like him–even if her body is begging her to cave.

But when she finds out about Carter’s nieces, she steps in to help, doting on them with love and care. She can’t believe that the same man who is usually in control is completely in over his head with the girls.

But as Val and Carter grow  closer, one thing is clear to him: He’d move mountains to make her  happy, but with Val’s career soaring, how can he ask her to commit to  the chaos of his life?

Rating:★★★★★ (Five Stars)

Check out my review for #katewatson ’s #lovestruck ! Its amazing. The link is in bio but here’s a sneak peek:
This was amazing!

“Lovestruck” was about a teenager being truthful with not just herself but with everyone around her.

In all the other aspects, it was awe inspiring. The characters, the background. The relationships between all the gods were amazing. Kate Watson did an amazing job creating a family feel between all of the gods that appeared in the book. Artemis acted like the Goddess of the Hunt and a disgruntled little sister that is way too overprotected. Apollo acted like the vengeful God of the Sun and like an idiotic big brother that loved his little sister way too much.

The different looks into the variations of the myths were so fascinating. Ms. Watson was in her element gathering all of the legends and injecting them into the story.

Description:

Sixteen-year-old cupid-in-training Kali is in an Olympus-sized mountain of trouble. Rule number one in arrow-toting matchmaking: don’t stick yourself. But accidents happen, and Kali instantly falls hard for her indie rock, bass-playing target, Benicio.

The God of Love is going to kill her. Even if he is her dad.

Being the daughter of Eros isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. For one thing, a girl can get jaded when her parents have the most beautiful and fatalistic love story in history. For another, immortality royally sucks when the Oracle condemns you to eternity in the wrong profession. Do the Gods care that Kali wants to ditch the love stuff and be a muse?

Nope.

To reclaim her heart and her destiny, Kali is left with no choice but to defy the Gods, tempt the Fates, date the mortal love-of-her-life, and hope she doesn’t lose her best friend, Hector, in the process.

Broken Drift by Adrian R. Hale

image

Published: February 10th, 2019

Publisher: Self-publishing

Description:

Wyatt Holding on to regret is poison and I take mine straight up. Fast cars and even faster women—they’re my drug of choice. Until I barely survive a crash that destroys my career. Now I’m staring my past in the face and she’s even more beautiful than when I walked away.

Isla

I’m wildly clutching at what’s left of my shattered life after a failed marriage when he shows up at my rehab facility. I didn’t think my life could get any worse. Now the one man who has the power to destroy me completely is asking me to heal his broken body.

Sometimes, things need to stay broken.

This book follows Drift Heat in the Drift Series but can be read as a standalone. No cliffhangers and a sweet HEA are waiting for you.

Rating: 4 stars

Review:

This book was adorable. The characters-Isla and Wyatt-were the most admirable people I’ve read in a long time.

The character arcs alone should be enough incentive to read this book but if that’s not enough for you then the relationship that Wyatt and Isla develop definitely is. Wyatt needs to confront his past and accept several things before he can start to move on to the future. And Isla needs to come into her own.

Adrian R. Hale constructed those situations so beautifully, they seemed effortless. Wyatt went through emotional helm before realizing that he couldn’t control the actions of other people. And Isla fought back and became independent without someone holding her back. Maybe some people will call early Wyatt and Isla cheating but I don’t view it like that, (and I won’t say more because spoilers.) They both overcame what was their biggest fears and became better people together. Which I think is the goal for every relationship: To make each other better.

Wyatt and Isla drove this feel good story about second chances and what happens when you let people in. I loved it.

Only A Breath Apart by Katie McGarry

image

Description:

Bestselling author Katie McGarry’s trademark wrong-side-of-the-tracks romance is given a new twist in the gritty YA contemporary novel, Only a Breath Apart.

They say your destiny is carved in stone. But some destinies are meant to be broken.

The only curse Jesse Lachlin believes in is his grandmother’s will: in order to inherit his family farm he must win the approval of his childhood best friend, the girl he froze out his freshman year.

A fortuneteller tells Scarlett she’s psychic, but what is real is Scarlett’s father’s controlling attitude and the dark secrets at home. She may be able to escape, but only if she can rely on the one boy who broke her heart.

Each midnight meeting pushes Jesse and Scarlett to confront their secrets and their feelings, but as love blooms, the curse rears its ugly head…

Rating: 4.5 Stars
