JUNK MAIL BY KENDALL RYAN

 

 

Release Date: April 23, 2019

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

It all started with a sexy selfie.

 

Texted to the wrong number.

 

Oops.

 

Not my finest moment—but I have nothing to be ashamed of.

 

She thought I was no better, and I quote, than the knuckle-dragging douche-bags she was never dating again.

 

It was a stupid dare from a girl I’d met online, but since she’d given me a fake number, I didn’t feel bad that my interests were suddenly focused elsewhere—on the fiery and sharp-tongued, Peyton that I found myself sparring with over text for the rest of the evening.

 

The following day, my case of mistaken identity came back to bite me in the banana.

 

When I strolled into the office, I was introduced to Peyton as the new client I needed to win over. The Peyton , in case you're not tracking.

 

And let’s just say she had my full attention.

 

Brains? Check.

 

Beauty? Oh yeah.

 

And the best part? She hated me on sight.

 

Dear God, do I love a challenge.

 

Let the games begin.

REVIEWJUNK MAIL BY KENDALL RYAN

 

Junk MailJunk Mail by Kendall Ryan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Ryan definitely knows how to make an impression. So it's only fitting that she bestows that quality on the characters she creates. Junk Mail takes an awkward moment and turns it into a saucy commentary. Josh and Peyton are awesome. From sexy to sassy, they bring a wit to the table that is fun to experience. He pulls her strings, she pushes his buttons and I enjoyed every minute of their showdown of hearts.

REVIEW: CRUEL FORTUNE (CRUEL TRILOGY) BY K.A. LINDE

 

Cruel Fortune (Cruel, #2)Cruel Fortune by K.A. Linde

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Linde makes it hard not to love her stories. She makes it even harder to review them. Scandal meets backstabbing and dangerous attraction. How can one love a person when they are not even sure they like them? There in lies the paradox of Natalie and Penn. Buckle up for a manipulative ride as addictive as it frustrating.

BABY MINE: HUNTER & LENNON (ROOMMATE DUET) BY KENNEDY FOX

 

 

 

Release Date: April 23, 2019

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

I saw her first.
Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty.
I was smitten.

But it didn’t matter because she chose him and he was my best friend and roommate. I’d never be able to compete with that, so I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. 
Now, I’m screwed.

To her singing in the shower every morning, dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways. She’s not mine and never will be, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to push her against a wall and claim her mouth.

She’s constantly on me for making messes, bringing chicks home every weekend, and being a smartass when their PDA gets on my nerves. Considering neither of them know how I feel, it’s not fair for the way I act toward them. I should move out so I can get over her for good; however, the selfish part of me can’t let go. 

And then the unthinkable happens... 
When my best friend dies in a motorcycle accident, the two of us are left to grieve our loss together. Instead of pushing her away, I pull her closer. 

Just as we come to terms with our new reality, she finds out she’s pregnant with his baby. 
And I’m left to make the hardest decision of my life.



**BABY MINE is an angsty, emotional, slow-burn romance wrapped up in a heartbreakingly delicious love story. It's book 1 in the Hunter & Lennon duet of the Roommate Duet Series and must be read first.**

Knox and Gray weren't a perfect match, but my heart found them to be pretty darn close. Careless Boyfriend marks a new beginning for two friends who never even had a clue.

REVIEW: HER SUBMISSION (DIRTIER DUET) BY LISA RENEE JONES

 

Her Submission (Dirtier Duet #2)Her Submission by Lisa Renee Jones

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Love without borders. Intense, brutal, sensual and almost painful to watch, yet intriguing all the same. Jones makes sure it's impossible to walk away from the drama that is Gabe and Abbie. Just when they thought it was safe to fall, a new shadow dwarfs their risky romance. Her Submission has a breath all it's own. The chemistry is electric. The drama is fierce and the danger continues to keep me on the edge of my seat. Love can be lethal in more ways then one.

Release Date: April 23, 2019

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Ian Grant isn’t a man who accepts help easily. After promising his young son, Andy, that he could participate in the strawberry festival—and then missing the admittance deadline—Ian’s in a bind and forced to ask the mayor for a favor. The mayor agrees, on one condition: his niece has run into hard times and needs a safe place to stay: Ian’s place to stay. She’s great with kids and Ian needs someone to look after his rambunctious son while he ranches. Ian agrees, expecting some college-aged girl who’d flunked Algebra. Instead, he finds a full-grown woman. A beautiful and sassy one to boot. 

Katie Rylie has always dreamed of helping others by teaching them to cook. Her online persona was thriving—until a scandal with her forthcoming cookbook rocked her career. Not only did she have to pay back the entire advance, but her once-loyal fan base has turned against her. Defeated and with nowhere to go, Katie feels it’s better to hide out in the country until she can get her life back together. The offer of a free home, an open range, and a wily six-year-old to focus on sounds like just the escape she needs. 

When Andy’s diet restrictions force Katie to become creative in the kitchen, she finds herself drawn back into the food world, just as she’s falling in love with Ian and Andy. But Ian, who likes having control of everything, doesn’t know how to ask Katie to become a permanent part of their lives.

If their love is ever going to work, Ian and Katie will need to learn that having it all doesn’t mean giving anything up.

Boyfriend Maintenance (A 425 Madison Novel, #5)Boyfriend Maintenance by Lauren Helms

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Helms is a different kind of writer. She leads with heart and finds her way from there. Perhaps, that's what gives Boyfriend Maintenance an irresistible appeal. Emmy and Jake are less than perfect, but that's what makes them a perfect fit for each other. The best reads are the ones that aren't afraid to convey a dose of reality. Hidden behind the mischievous antics, the impending heartache and the unforgettable romance is a little bit of wisdom that goes well with an overabundance of heart.

Release Date: April 27, 2019

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

A feisty princess with a passion for education. The wealthy philanthropist who dumped her. Can he win back the princess before it’s too late?

Princess Charlotte of Durham has been dumped by the wealthy aristocrat playboy to whom she gave her heart. But that just gives her more time to focus on being an advocate for literacy. When she’s invited to tour a nonprofit school in South Africa and offer her feedback, it’s a dream come true. If only the school wasn’t owned by her ex-boyfriend, Adam.

Adam Montgomery’s entire life has been dictated by his family’s business empire, right down to whom he’ll marry. A fling with Charlotte before submitting to his inevitable future seems harmless enough—until months later, when he needs her help to save the school. If it doesn’t open soon, the local tribes will sue his company for breech of contract. And Adam can’t let that happen.

With the project falling further behind every day, Adam plays to Charlotte’s passions and begs for her help. But as they work together to race against the clock, he realizes that all he really wants is Charlotte. Can he win back the princess before it’s too late?

This is a sweet/clean romance novel with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA. Each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone.

Winning Back the Princess (Royal Secrets #7)Winning Back the Princess by Lindzee Armstrong

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


In order to move forward there are moments we have to look back. Experiencing the painful is what gives the courage to move on. In Winning Back the Princess, Armstrong takes that knowledge and builds a whole story around it. For Charlotte and Adam ended before they could begin. She gave him her heart and he broke it. Adam never wanted love, only to have fun. For Charlotte moving on is a necessity. Her role as a Princess keeps her busy. Yet, when the past invades her present, it will take more than a busy schedule to shield her heart. Especially when the man who threw away her love, now wants it back. I love stories that feature women of strength. Armstrong read my mind, when she dreamed up Princess Charlotte.
