Four Stars!

To say I enjoyed this series is an understatement. I have been invested in the Bexley’s since we met Silver at Camp Bexley. I couldn’t wait to get the final brother Cayson’s book.

Cayson was like the perfect man; pure, sensitive, shy, sweet, and very attractive, but totally not someone our heroine (Olivia) would ever consider dating. Olivia is used to the rock star lifestyle and can’t see herself with anyone other than a rock star, especially not the sweet boy next door Cayson. The only problem is something happens to her when she’s around him, but she won't admit it.

Cayson has an immediate attraction to Olivia, and from the first moment he met her he has been determined to ask her out, but Olivia wants to keep him in the friendzone. Cayson is trying to move on from his accident, heal and get out in the dating scene but the problem is he only wants to date one person.

Olivia thinks she likes the long distance and toxic, angsty relationships she's had in the past and that Cayson is so not her type, but she is willing to help him find someone and gain his confidence back. She will teach him whatever he needs to know. Will they be able to stay friends, or will her tutoring get in the way?

“He’s no tattooed rock star with a penchant for making me constantly question my place in the world. He’s still a clean-cut, straight-edged family man with a heart of gold who would never make me question anything. Where’s the toxicity? The angst? The complete unpredictability?”

I loved Cayson, but unfortunately, I didn’t love Olivia, she made me angry, and I found her selfish. I kept hoping Cayson would move on and then whenever he tried to, Olivia would get jealous and pull him back in. I loved their chemistry and their friendship, but I thought Olivia took advantage of him. I found it hard to believe she was that oblivious to how much he was into her. I’m so happy when the lightbulb finally went off and she realized how special Cayson was.

“Jealousy is an ugly, self-loathing emotion, and right now, I’m filled with it.”

Overall, I have loved this series and really enjoyed this book, I just wish Olivia pulled her head out a little sooner.

Title: Blanket of Stars

Series: Camp Bexley #4

Author: K.K. Allen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 24, 2023

BLURB

All Cayson Bexley ever wanted was to fly…

Until a near-fatal crash clipped his wings, sending the injured military pilot back to his hometown and living right next door to me.

From the moment our eyes meet, the attraction is undeniable.

I mean who wouldn’t fall for that achingly gorgeous face, clean-cut demeanor, and sweet, small-town charm?

Other than our mutual love of music, we’re as opposite as two people can be.

Which is precisely why I friend-zone him the moment he shows interest.

But as time goes on, my heart softens to this man who once had it all—a literal hero floundering to find his purpose.

In the midst of my own struggles, I could certainly use a friend.

Heck, I could use more than that.

And I’m not afraid to let Cayson know it.

When I discover my hunk of a neighbor is as shy as he is inexperienced, I offer him a distraction he can’t possibly refuse.

We already share a very thin wall.

Why not a bed too?

There’s only one catch: he’ll have to promise not to fall in love with me…

A no-strings hook-up is every man’s dream, right?

What could possibly go wrong?

Get ready for:

❤️‍🩹 Injured military pilot + local musician

❤️‍🩹 Online dating gone wrong

❤️‍🩹 Opposites-attract (nice guy / playful girl)

❤️‍🩹 Virgin hero + ✨helpful✨ heroine

❤️‍🩹 He falls first, she's not looking for love

❤️‍🩹 Neighbors-to-friends-to-lovers

❤️‍🩹 Small town, big hearts

5 stars!

I loved this story. I went into it blind because I just do with Kristy’s books, and I was so happy with what it turned out to be!

This was the perfect lead up to be the grumpy sunshine landlord or the enemies to lover's trope, but it wasn’t! Don't get me wrong I do love those stories but this one was just so heartwarming and sweet and totally not what I expected. It will definitely pull at your heartstrings.

Crew has had a rough go lately and has decided to move his twin daughters away from the city for the summer and to a small town. He will be living and taking over his uncle's home, the only stipulation was to help out and be a landlord to the tenant using the rental cabin that is on the property.

Tennyson, Crew’s new tenant is hiding, and he knows it, she is scared and guarded but beautiful and sweet. Crew is determined to get to know her and figure out what Tennyson could be so afraid of, all while trying to recover from his trauma and failed marriage.

Crew and Tennyson had immediate chemistry and I loved their interactions. Another thing I loved about this book was the way both Crew and Tennyson were with the girls. It made the story feel real and made me smile.

I really enjoyed getting Tennyson’s back story bit by bit. It was a great way to see what had happened to make her hide. And the end was not what I expected. I don’t read a book very often that I don’t see what is coming, but I didn’t guess this ending. I love how everything played out.

I just fell in love with this story, the characters and the town. It was the perfect romance.

4.5 stars!

Woah mama this book was HOT! I flew through this book and still want more of Greer and Stevie.

Greer is a total grump and he’s the goalie for the Comets, he doesn't believe in love, he likes his one-night stands, and he has no interest in anything beyond that. He doesn’t date and the idea of marriage and children, not even on his radar. He wants to continue to be the best and that means no distractions.

Stevie is a single mom that had been treated horribly by her ex and she will never let that happen again. She is not really interested in dating or finding love at the moment. She doesn't have much time for herself when she is trying to take care of her daughter.

The last thing Stevie expects is for mister grumpy to ask for a favor to be his date for his moms wedding, but in return he’ll help her hockey loving daughter out. And the last thing Greer expects is to actually like a ten-year-old kid and her mother.

The relationship between Macie and Greer was hilarious and I loved seeing them become so close and then seeing the friendship and trust form between Stevie and Greer. You could feel their chemistry before they did. And when they did it was on fire. Macie was such a great addition to the story, and she was probably my favorite character. I hope to see more of her pop up in books.

There is so much I could say about this book and the relationships and healing that took place, but it’s too good and you need to read it yourself to really understand. Greer really made a 180 and I loved seeing it.

I can’t wait for toothless Fitz!!
