I love friends to lovers! I love how this played out, such a long, slow burn. It took a long time for things to fall into place, but it never felt boring, or get on with it! It felt exactly right, and I just wanted to reread those last couple of chapters as soon as I finished. Those moments when Ian’s world righted itself just need savored. Make sure you download the bonus epilogue as well, it has a very sweet ending.

I’m not going to lie, this series has had some sad, tough moments with Tim and the aftermath. If you’ve been reading the whole series, you know. I have a feeling we will still be feeling his impact for the rest of the series. I love having Sheila still such a big part of things. And I cannot wait for Poppy’s story!

PROMISE ME THISKarla SorensenRelease Date: May 9FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITEDImagine this: an author with a raging case of writer’s block finds an unexpected source of inspiration in her grumpy, gorgeous new roommate. Sounds amazing, right? Except that new roommate is my childhood best friend. And Ian Wilder has been off-limits since I was five.It’s been over a decade since I’ve seen him, but when I return to my hometown after years away, Ian’s exactly the man I remembered. The same guy who gave me his coat on a playground when we were kids and promised he’d take care of me forever. I need a quiet place to work with this deadline looming. I need a place where my daughter can unwind. Enter Ian with an offer I can’t refuse: his spare bedroom.It’s an easy yes. Except now the problem is I can’t stop thinking about him, and these thoughts? They’re wandering out of the friend zone. I keep imagining very creative ways to rip off his clothes. And Ian starts giving me looks of his own, the kind that make my heart race.#karlasorensen #fishoutofwater #oppositesattract #smalltown #steamy #newbookalert #lovereading #bookcommunity #reading #bookish #romancenovels #booknerds #bookishlove #mustread #ebooks #wildfiremarketingsolutions

I adored this book. I love a fake romance story. This has a few tropes in it, and was never boring. Sometimes insecure me characters turn me off, but Klein didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, he was not wishy washy at all. Just more sensitive maybe than I’m used to? And no 3rd act breakup!! Some people really hate them (I don’t mind when they’re fitting), those people will love this! There’s a lot of family dynamic which helped keep the pages turning. I’ve read many books by this author and I have not been disappointed once.

I don’t have the words for this book. If you want to feel, if you want to think, then pic up this book and dive in. You won’t be disappointed. This author has written some stories, some clearly fictional, but this book feels so real, like it could actually happen. Maybe not exactly, but you can so easily put yourself in each of these characters places. This is one of those stories that will stick with you for a long time. I laughed, I felt, my eyed welled with tears, and it was just so much, so big, my review does not do it justice. Easily one of the best books I’ve read this year.

I freaking hate that this series is over. I have read and loved every single book, and each new one becomes my favorite. I seriously loved Oliver and Izzy so much, I really didn’t think Simon and Charlie could top them. I’m happy to admit, I was wrong. I couldn’t stop reading, yet I didn’t want it to end. Enemies to lovers is one of my least favorite tropes that I read, but I knew coming from Chelle Sloan, it would be worth it. This did not feel like an enemies to lovers, at east not the ones I usually read. I loved every second of this book. I laughed so many times, but there were so many feels! I also loved that the naughty scenes were not generic. They were specific to these two. I don’t want to give anything away, but gah, the nicknames were the best! Now I hope Charlie’s brother gets a book too, and I’m happy we don’t have to say goodbye to Simon just yet!

BLURB:

A deliciously sexy, small town, enemies to lovers, accidental pregnancy romance by bestselling author Chelle Sloan

I hate Simon Banks.
I also hate tequila.
The first makes my blood boil with his devilish smirk and giant…ego.
The second makes me do questionable things.
Specifically, with Simon.
Fine. Whatever. It’s a blip on my radar.
Even though I can’t stop thinking about memories of our night…or his hands…and that mouth.
But I have more important things to do—like finally opening my dream restaurant in the small town of Rolling Hills.
There’s just one problem—he lives here.
I’m bound and determined to not let that stop me.
He’s bound and committed to get under my skin.
And here’s another thing I hate—it’s working.
His smug smile. His clever jokes. The way my body heats when he’s around.
Our looks of longing and the sizzling tension between us.
Not to mention his bare, chiseled chest running past my restaurant every day.
He’s becoming too hard to resist.
I’m starting to realize there’s a thin line between love and hate.
Ours just happens to be two pink ones…

I’m starting to realize there’s a thin line between love and hate.

I loved the old books from Camp Firefly Falls! I was super excited to get another book set in that world. I love Kait Nolan’s writing, and this book was fantastic. It’s on the shorter side and I just flew thru it. Aspen and Brooks are both at a crossroads in their separate lives, and when they come together, it’s just gooey fun. I smiled through so many scenes in the book. There’s some heavier stuff too, it’s not all light and fluffy, but I just loved it. I absolutely can’t wait for the 3rd book later this summer. It makes me want to go back and read the other books from Camp Firefly Falls.

I absolutely loved this book! I read Last on the List right before this one, so that was helpful in the set up. I love grumpy/sunshine and this was almost that. Trista wasn’t quite sunshine, but she was such a great character. I loved all the story, their pasts, their families, everything worked so well together, I couldn’t put it down. This is a dirty one, lots of sexy times. But unlike some books I’ve read, they didn’t feel generic, or like they were in there just to hit a quota of dirty scenes. I never felt the need to skim like I have with other books. I laughed out loud so many times too, starting with the opening line! I did not expect to fight tears later on either. This book was just so well done, I completely recommend it.

This is one of my favorite books from this author. I’ve read it a couple of times and listened to the audio too. I related some to Audrey, so maybe others wouldn’t appreciate it quite as much as I did. This is another book set at Camp Firefly Falls, which was a whole multi author series based on a summer camp for adults. It’s a shame that the series is no longer available on Amazon. I read so many books from the series and enjoyed them all. It’s such a fun premise! Kait Nolan was one of the original authors, and now she’s resurrecting the camp for a couple of books for her own series. This one was released years ago, and she has a new installment coming soon, so this oldie is on sale. Check it out!

99¢ BOOK ALERT! | Professor Audrey Graham shouldn’t be alive. But she didn’t walk away from the accident that should’ve taken her life. She shouldn’t have ever walked again according to the doctors. But after two years of physical therapy and countless surgeries, she’s got a second lease on life. First stop? Camp Firefly Falls to try and catch up on some of the living she never did before her accident.

Firefighter Hudson Lowell shouldn’t be alive. In the wake of losing two members of his team in a structure fire gone wrong, he’s been unable to work, unable to pull himself out of the survivor’s guilt. In a last ditch effort to snap him out of it, his family surprises him with a 2 week reunion session at Camp Firefly Falls, reminder of a simpler, better time. The last thing he expects to find is the woman he helped cut out of a snarled up wreck of a car two years before.

As sparks ignite between rescuer and rescuee, Audrey finally gets the chance to repay her hero. But can she convince this proud, stubborn man that life is still worth living? Or will Hudson let this chance at happiness slip through his fingers?

I have no idea how long it’s free for, but I’d grab it quick. Corinne Michaels doesn’t put her books up for free very often. I have read this one, and enjoyed it. I haven’t read all of her books yet, but I have liked everything so far.

Before I get into my review, when I pulled the book on Goodreads, it says book #1 and that made me so happy! I thought this was going to just be a stand alone that just hangs out in the MQ universe, but no, we get a whole series!

This book was so much fun! You get a tie in not only from Almond Bay, because Maggie is Hattie’s bestie, but also from the Cane Brothers series. It’s so over the top at parts, I literally laughed out loud multiple times. Brody was crazy. So funny, so dumb, so attentive, just a crazy mix. Then, there were illustrations that were in just the perfect places. I absolutely loved it. I have not read a Meghan Quin book and not loved it, you can never go wrong with her books.

About BRIDESMAID FOR HIRE:
USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn is back with a hilarious new rom-com series.

Sometimes the wedding of the century calls for desperate measures.
And sometimes those desperate measures are to pretend the person you hate most is actually your boyfriend.

After years of working her tail off at her event-planning business, Maggie Mitchell is ready for a vacation. With nothing on her mind but R & R, she’s enjoying the warm weather of Bora Bora when in saunters Brody McFadden, her brother’s best friend and also her sworn enemy. Thanks to years of tension between the two—kicked off by a make-out session at her brother’s wedding that ended horribly—Maggie has sworn to stay away from the man. That is, until she finds out he’s in Bora Bora for his boss’s daughter’s wedding, hoping to use the trip to win a real future at the company.

Maggie promised herself she wouldn’t even think of work on the island, but as word spreads about the “wedding of the century” taking place in the midst of her vacation, she realizes offering her services as a bridesmaid and planner could bring her business to the next level. The only catch? She needs to pose as Brody’s girlfriend to get the job…while letting him stay in her peaceful bungalow.

Tensions rise, irritation flairs, and despite years’ worth of bickering behind closed doors, Maggie can’t quite squash the sparks building between her and her new fake boyfriend, especially when she learns the real reason their first kiss was cut short. But as the wedding day draws closer and everything starts to go wrong, it just might be Brody who sends Maggie’s business crashing down—and her heart along with it.
