Friends to lovers is my favorite romance trope, and Kait Nolan is one of my favorite authors. This is 3 of her books that are friends to lovers in one bundle for free! I’ve read them all, and Know Me Well was one of the first romances that I read when I got my kindle. I haven’t read it in many years, but it’s what got me hooked on Wishful, the town a s series it’s set it.
Jock Reign by Sara Ney
I don’t read much college age stuff, but the description of this one sounded interesting so I decided to read it anyway. It’s the first book I’ve read from this author, but I’ve seen her name floating out there. I will definitely be reading more! I enjoyed the build to this one. It’s hard to describe too much without giving anything away. But I loved how things progressed. It felt so natural. I didn’t realize this was book 5 in a series, and I never felt lost. You can clearly tell Jack’s brother had his own story, but they way it was mentioned I could easily keep up. I for sure need to start from the beginning now, but you definitely don’t need to. So I would say even if you’re not a college age fan, this one was enjoyable. I don’t think jack or Eliza made me roll my eyes once with their immaturity, but I laughed quite a few times. Jack was just so darn charming!

Books 1 and 2 are FREE, books 3 and 4 are just .99 each! This series is so cute, I’ve read them all. Everything is on Kindle Unlimited, but you can buy 4 books for $2. What a deal! Jess Mastorakos’s books are all clean, and everything I’ve read is all military related. I’ve really enjoyed her books. I’m working my way through her library now, starting back with the first series. I discovered her not too terribly long ago so I’m still catching up.

2 of the 6 books in this series are free, and they’re all on Kindle Unlimited. Laura Burton is one of the authors I arc for, so I’ve read all of these already. Her books are clean if that’s your thing. They’re cute and definitely on the lighter side, which I like. Sometimes you just need to mix things up and her books are great for that.
The Cowboy’s Second Chance (Sweet Water Ranch Western Cowboy Romance Book 0.5) – Kindle edition by Gussman, Jessie . Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09G5LMTGV?ref_=dbs_mng_crcw_0&storeType=ebooks
I’ve read this whole series, but I don’t think I ever read this one. Once again it appears to be a prequal, and remembering the series, I definitely need to read this one to see where it all began, because it had an unusual premise. And again FREE! Although all of her books are on Kindle Unlimited, I can’t help but grab them when they’re free.
Christmas Car Kerfuffle – Kindle edition by Gussman, Jessie. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
After seeing those other two prequal stories for free, I scrolled thru all of Jessie Gussman’s books and saw this one was free also. I read it probably 2 years ago now, and it was a cute, short read. I belive it was originally a freebie if you joined her newsletter. you enjoy clean romance, today is a good day to beef up your library!
Take My Place (Baxter Boys Book 0.5) A Baxter Boys Novella – Kindle edition by Gussman, Jessie. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
It looks like Jessie Gussman has put all of her prequals up for free right now on Amazon. This is one of her older books that I was first introduced to her with. It’s been quite a while since I read this series, but I remember how real and normal these characters are.
Dreaming of His Kiss (Cowboy Mountain Christmas, Small Town Sweet Romance, Book 0.5) – Kindle edition by Gussman, Jessie. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
This is basically the prequal to the series, and I think it’s fairly important to see where it all began. You get pieces of the story throughout the series, so you’ll get the story, but I think you get a little more out of it if you read this one first. And hey, it’s free, why not?
When Sparks Fly by Helena Hunting
I’ve read a bunch of hockey books from this author, and when I saw this was friends to lovers, I jumped to read it. I really enjoyed this one a lot, friends to lovers is my favorite romance trope. I never like to give tok much away, but there were some typical romance book things, and some that were different from what I usually read, in away good way. It was funny, emotional, a little sad, a lot sweet, well rounded love story. This proved that Helena Hunting can write more than just sports romance!
The Ryker Ranch Collection: Books 1-3 – Kindle edition by Loraine, Kim. Romance Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
I discovered this series on book 3, so when the box set came out I jumped at the chance to get caught up. I enjoyed all 3 books, in fact, I read book 3 again and enjoyed it more the second time having the back story. I love that the couples are not forgotten about in subsequent books. You have mama in each book, the glue that holds this family together. And now I’m seeing there’s a prequal that I’ll have to read before the next installment is released. Below are each of my reviews on the individual books.
SADDLE UP- Since I discovered this series out of order, I already knew about the show going into this one. However, I still enjoyed reading all about how things went down. Ever and Clint fell in love quickly, but it felt plausible.
BUCKED OFF- I enjoyed this one just as much as the first. It’s not quite enemies to lovers, but it is fake fiancé and hot cowboy and a sort of second chance. I liked that Ever and Clint (from book 1) aren’t forgotten about in this book either. I flew thru this one just as fast as the first one.
RIDDEN HARD- This is only the second book I’ve read by this author (the first was part of k Bromberg’s world) This was a pretty quick read for me, I enjoyed it a lot. Tristan was too good for real life! I liked the way he was with both hazel and his family. I mean, his family seems amazing, it’s no wonder hazel felt the way she did. I am super curious about Sam’s story that is hopefully next. I need to go back and read the first 2 books of the series. This is a stand alone, but I definitely want to read how it all began.
So you can see my review for book 3, I loved it the first go round too! Box sets are the best, it’s always cheaper to pick them up this way, plus it’s easier to read when they’re all right there. If you like a hot cowboy, you can’t miss with the Rykers.
