Available Now! Beauty and the Baller by: Ilsa Madden-Mills

 

“In this un-put-downable romance, Madden-Mills skillfully balances the emotional with the physical to produce a love story that’s equal parts scorching and sweet.” —Publishers Weekly

Beauty and the Baller, an all-new emotional and steamy opposites attract, fake relationship standalone romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills is available now!

An NFL quarterback turned small-town coach gets sacked by a Texas beauty queen in this swoony, passionate romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills.

Gorgeous, talented, and brilliant, NFL quarterback Ronan Smith has the world in his hands. But after losing his career and his fiancée in a car accident, he falls into a pit of grief and bad choices. When a mysterious girl shows up to his party, he feels drawn to her and makes her his…for one night.

Former beauty queen Nova Morgan is on a mission. Scantily clad as a princess from a galaxy far, far away, she sneaks into a high-profile party to capture the attention of her favorite quarterback. But her hopes crash after an awful one-night stand.

Fast-forward two years. Broke and desperate, Nova returns home to Blue Belle, Texas, where, by a cosmic twist of fate, her broody neighbor is none other than Ronan, the shiny new football coach everyone adores. But he has no idea who she is.

The booster club keeps shoving women at Ronan to keep him in town. His solution? He proposes fake dating to Nova. But things heat up for real under these Friday-night lights when he realizes she’s the one who slipped away.

Has this jaded beauty found her forever baller, or will his past keep them apart?

4 stars!

Beauty and the Baller was such a fun and sweet story! It makes you laugh out loud. Nova our heroine is probably one of my favorites, she is such a unique character. She is strong and fierce, beautiful and funny but she is sensitive and has been hurt and is hurting. Nova moves from her small town in Texas to live in New York and makes her life there, but after her mom passes she must make the move back to Texas to take care of her sister.

Ronan our hero is deeply hurt wounded by his past and after a tragic accident and not being able to play football anymore he starts coaching a high school team in Texas. Nova meet your new neighbor and person you thought you’d never run into again, your one-night stand for New York…let the fun begin.

“Beauty isn’t on the outside. Beauty is how we go on, the life we create around us. Living a life that’s meaningful.”

First of all Ronan and Nova had some undeniable chemistry and some great banter, but I loved how they worked off of each other, it was hilarious. Both Ronan and Nova want other people to think they are dating so they fake date and their interactions are great as you read their fun interactions you see the feelings start to develop and then the push and pull, especially for Ronan. He feels he’s not worthy of love anymore and doesn’t want to experience it again because of the pain he’s felt in the past and is still feeling.

Ronan and Nova did not disappoint, and then we got all the fun side characters which were just as much fun, from the fellow teachers to the students. I’m so happy I read this and got my Ilsa on again after some time. Bring on the next one!!

Out Now...Last Resort by: K.Bromberg Five Stars!

 

 

Last Resort by K. Bromberg is now live!

 

I was never supposed to see him again. 𝐻𝑖𝑚 being the man wearing the perfectly tailored suit who oozed an intoxicating mixture of wealth, rebellion, and sex appeal.

One night.

No strings.

No names.

𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 sex.

Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk that reeled me in hours ago.

Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. And 𝑦𝑒𝑠, he’s 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 Callahan Sharpe.

Billionaire heir apparent who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy before walking away from the family business for good. Luckily and unluckily for me, I’ve been tasked to go to the Virgin Islands to help accomplish his goal. Callahan has no problem breaking his company’s no fraternization rule, but not me. There’s too much at stake.

What could possibly go wrong when you’re forced to work—𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒—side by side with a man you can’t resist?

“What’s in it for me?”

So this is one of those books I would say “if I could give it more than five I would,” no joke, it’s the best book I’ve read in a while. I’ve read a lot of good books but this was the book that I couldn’t put down. While cooking it's on the counter being read while brushing my teeth, between patients at work, during lunch break, I think you get it. I haven’t had a book consume me like that in quite some time. It was extremely HOT from the get-go but not only that I just loved this couple's chemistry and the way they played off of each other. I loved we got to see the sensitive parts of our hero. This book just made me happy and it will take some time to find another book that will be able to do this again. I’m not going to go into the whole synopsis of the story but let's just say Callahan needs a facelift on the resort he bought in the Virgin Islands and fast before the place goes down and well Sutton his one-night stand will be helping him. They both thought they’d never see each other again but here they are and boy what a ride.

“Do one thing for yourself.”

This book was so much fun I loved all the banter and chemistry but not only that, the heart and love of family that is portrayed, and also the heartbreak. This book has it all and I can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on it so I can talk about it more. I CAN NOT WAIT for more of the Starke family!

Out Now! Forever Perfect by: Alison G. Bailey

 

Sometimes in love, the person who’s your future isn't always your destiny…

Forever Perfect by Alison G. Bailey is now live!

I was five years old when I met the love of my life. He was my best friend's older brother, but he was also my friend. We shared popsicles, we hunted for shark teeth on Folly Beach, and told each other secrets. But everything changed when we became teenagers. Brandon no longer wanted to have anything to do with me. I was a pest. Something to ignore. I hated that he tossed away our friendship.

Although he broke my heart, it still fluttered when he looked at me, was near me, and touched me. But eventually he would look away, push away, and walk away. Finally, I realized you can't make someone love you even if they were supposed to be your forever.

Forever Perfect by Alison G. Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Review (ARC provided)
4.5 stars!

This book brought me right back to 2013 when I read and devoured Amanda and Noah’s story in Present Perfect. I get to reads and feel everything from this wonderful series all over again. It’s several years later and we get the kid's story now!

This love story starts on Halloween when a sweet young Brandon rescues a sweet young girl (Halle) dressed as a lego, very much the same feels as when Noah and Amanda meet. Brad is a couple of years older than Halle and her best friend's brother. They become fast friends and Brandon becomes her protector, that is until she gets older and he starts looking at her differently.

This whole book is a love story about two people that won't let go and show their love for each other. It’s filled with angst and passion and while you are rooting for these two to make it work something always happens that comes in between them.

This book was so well written, it has an angsty little love triangle thrown in and you can’t help but love the other person. You don't want them together but yet you feel bad because you don't if that makes sense? Alison does such a good job of writing that other person that you can't help but love them.

Please be warned that this book may trigger some people, I can not write the trigger for fear of spoiling the book, but I’d be happy to tell you in a private message. It tore me up and made me cry, but ultimately it's what brought our Forever Perfect couple together. I am so happy I got to read these beautiful words and get more of this series I love so much!

Blurb:

I knocked up my best friend's sister.

Figured I would get straight to the point because how it happened is a mere snippet of the story I have to tell. The real meat and potatoes is what happened after.

Let's start with how she decided to inform me and Pacey the news . . . together. Imagine that nightmare. I was going into what I thought was a hockey marketing meeting and then BAM! I'm going to be a dad and my best friend/teammate is attempting to imprint my face with his fist.

It wasn't pretty.

Threats were tossed around, friendships were revoked, and then I was marched up to her apartment, suitcases in hand, and forced to live with her so I could take care of her every need. Given how much I've pined for the girl, you would think that wouldn't be a hardship. Wrong.

This is my one shot to win my teammate back. Pacey is the only family I've got, so hooking up with his sister isn't a mistake I can make twice . . . despite the fact that she's pregnant with my child.

But with every mood swing, every pair of pants that doesn't fit right, and every late night run to find the perfect donut, I'm finding it harder and harder not to fall for my best friend's little sister. 

Especially when she kisses me...

Out Now! Love On The Lake by: Helena Hunting

 

Can Aaron love her, even when she can’t love herself?

Love on the Lake, an emotional small town, standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is live now!

Teagan Firestone has always been the dutiful daughter, especially since her mom died. But as her father finally begins to move on, it’s her turn to do the same. Her destination: Pearl Lake, a close-knit community with an entrepreneurial spirit and secrets of its own.

One of them is Aaron Saunders, who dropped out of college to work construction for Pearl Lake’s upper class. He’s a mystery and has a playboy reputation—that is, until he meets Teagan. Neither of them is looking for love, but in a town this small, it’s hard not to let your heart get involved.

As their romance heats up, Aaron’s elusive past comes to light and Teagan is there for him, bringing them even closer together. But when Teagan is forced to face her own demons, her inability to accept the support of friends and family threatens the life she’s worked so hard to build.

Can Aaron love her, even when she can’t love herself?

My Review (ARC provided)

4 stars!

Love On The Lake was a book that got me sucked in from the beginning. After reading Love Next Door I couldn't wait to go back to this town and read more about it and see what happens with our next couple. I was really wanting a story about Aaron and Teagan after reading it, and this story was so consuming yet not what I expected at all. I thought it would be more of a "small-town boy, rich urban girl romance" which it was, but it was way deeper than that, and Teagan isn't so rich anymore. I wouldn’t classify this as a cushy sweet romance because it has so much more. Both characters have some pretty major issues that are holding them up from being able to completely let go with the other person and have a real honest relationship.

Helena has written a new favorite H of mine, Aaron is complex but hits everything I want in a hero, I wish I could do his character justice by explaining in a review but I’m afraid I won’t. He is broody and underneath that broodiness, we see what a wonderful human he is, his compassion, his deep love for his town and the people in his life, his generosity, and of course he’s a hottie to boot. He has been through a lot and keeps it all tucked away, no one knows why or what brought it on. When Teagan comes to town she throws him for a loop with her love of life and what a good and sweet person she is. What he doesn’t know is that is all on the surface and just because she seems to love life and be happy doesn’t always mean that’s what’s going on inside.

Teagan is another complex character, at times I really wanted to strangle her, but she had a problem and did a very good job of covering it up. Teagan is a yes girl, she wants to make everyone happy and please the people around her. Everyone loves Teagan and she takes on way too much because she is such a people pleaser, so much that she is starting to make a downward spiral. Both Aaron and Teagan are hiding their true selves from each other and need to figure out that before they continue on together.

Like I said this book was deeper than I thought it would be, it deals with some major life issues and Helena does such a wonderful job writing this. She takes these issues tackles them and makes you feel warm and fuzzy, not to mention the chemistry and sexy times. I’m not ready yet to let Pearl Lake go, hint hint.
