Four Stars!

These boys are my kind of crazy and crazy they are! In book 3, Walker lived up to the insane and gave Lincoln and Ari a run for their money. How do I find this swoon-worthy?

Walker "Disney," the pretty boy, believes in love at first sight, and with the guys falling so quickly and in love, he is ready to meet his match. When he locks eyes with Olivia at his game and after she totally disses him, he knows she is the one. He falls for her right then and there and falls hard. He decided he would do anything and everything to get the girl, and boy, does he.

Olivia is broken and held under her manager and mother's thumb, manipulated and played her whole career. She needs someone like Walker to help her get out of it, even if he's motives are a bit skewed.

"I'm an empty husk that's been sucked dry of anything redeeming or worthy."

This book was a page-turner; Walker and Olivia were a great couple and brought the best out in each other. Yes. Walker is very questionable in his choices, but I kind of feel like that's what Olivia needed. I can't wait to get more of these crazy hockey boys!

Five Stars!

I could tell from the first couple of chapters that I would love Wyatt’s character, and as the book went on, he just got better and better; he was funny, sensitive, kind, attractive, and full of great ideas. He was the perfect person to bring Aubree out of her funk. Aubree has always been known as the town grump, ornery, and angry. She has dealt with a lot throughout her life and is just trying to make ends meet to make her deceased sister “proud.” When Wyatt comes into her life, she isn’t prepared for him and is very wary of his intentions; as his intentions become clear, she has a decision to make, one that will give her control of all the farm and land. A Wyatt slowly creeps into her life; he brings light back to Aubree.

Aubree is so insecure it’s tough for her to see why a guy like Wyatt would want a girl like her. Wyatt makes it his mission to protect and help her. Sigh…He was everything; anytime a chapter came up from his point of view, I smiled. I loved reading his thoughts. I have to say this is one of my absolute favorite male characters Meghan has written. And I loved the complexity of Aubree’s character.

This book was fantastic from beginning to end. I also loved all the easter eggs planted from her previous books. I can’t wait to get Ryland’s book and more from Almond Bay!

I have gobbled up this series and couldn’t wait to get to Addison’s story. She is such a spitfire and a strong female character. It’s not until Chase comes into the picture that you see a softer, more vulnerable side to her. And the energy that Chase exudes is something else. And that energy is solely focused on getting Addison to trust him and be with him in every way possible. The problem is Addison won’t let herself fall for Chase and his charming ways. She’s been victim to it for a decade, and she wants to move on, but Chase is going to make that very difficult for her in the small town they are from because he is planning on staying for a while, and when he puts his mind to something he doesn't give up.

I loved Chase's tenacity and Addison’s stubbornness; they made for a great story and an angsty connection. One of my favorite tropes is friends to lovers and brothers best friends, and I think that fits in perfectly with this book. I won’t give away my favorite book of the series until I read Levi’s book, which I’ll anxiously await. I can’t wait to get into that man's head.

Blurb:

Word to the wise, never become roommates with a girl you’ve been pining over for the better part of a year. 

You’re probably wondering why I would do such a thing? Well, I didn’t. 

It was my teammates. 

The moment they found out Blakely White was single, they took it upon themselves to play cupid and instruct me on how I should win her over.

Don't wear a shirt around her.
Make her dinner.
Lightly touch her shoulder when you say goodbye. 

I'm so flustered, so overwhelmed, so madly in love with this woman who barely notices me, that I lose control of the situation and make one huge mistake: I offer to be her fake date for a wedding so she can make her ex jealous. 

That means, for one whole night I get a free pass with her. I get to hold her, dance with her, kiss her…stare at her from across the room like she’s my entire world because she has been for months now. 

But when the night comes to an end, I’m faced with two options: bring her back to my bedroom and show her how I really feel, or let her walk away, succumbing to the fact that I very well might not be her type.

Five fabulous stars!

Halsey is here! He’s Not My Type was one of my more anticipated books, and I could not wait to get into Halsey’s mind and get his story. Meghan did not let me down. In fact, it was even more than anticipated. This book, of course, has laugh-out-loud moments that Meghan can do so well. I always look forward to her books because I know I will smile, if not crack up while reading.

Halsey is a complicated character because he is broken so much that he’s only a shell of the person he used to be. When his long-time crush Blakely recently finds herself single and homeless, who better to help her than Halsey? Well, that’s what his meddling friends/teammates think.

Blakely is newly single and not ready for any kind of romantic relationship; she needs somewhere to stay, and Halsey seems like the perfect choice; he’s quiet and broody and not at all the fun-loving girl type.

With Blakely close and his crush growing more, Halsey soon opens up slowly, letting Blakey see the tidbits of the man he really is. Blakely and Halsey have the best chemistry, and Halsey is very dirty. :) WOAH!!

I loved everything about this book! It made me smile, laugh, cry, get angry, and feel hot and bothered. It’s everything I could want in a book and more. Who will be next? Posey? OC? Whoever it is, I can’t wait. I don't know if anyone can top Halsey, though.

A Holly Jolly Ever After by: Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone...four stars!

 

A Holly Jolly Ever AfterA Holly Jolly Ever After by Julie Murphy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Four stars!

What a fun read! If you want a sexy, witty, and intelligently written book, look no further. Sierra Simone and Julie Murphy really ran with this story. It was so silly and unexpected. I need to read the first book now because it somehow slipped by me.

This book will have you laughing, swooning, and on fire. Kallum is like a big teddy bear; you just want to squeeze him. Winnie is so sheltered that you want to help her find her way. Kallum is the absolute best person to help her. He is sweet, generous, and knows his way around the female body. Winnie needs his expertise, especially with the steamy holiday movie they are starring in together.

I’m not going to go into the synopsis; you can read it if you want. I had no idea what it was going to be about, and I’m happy I was surprised by it; it made the read that much better. I’m ready to start my favorite time of the year: curl up with some hot cocoa and read the other books in this series.
