Review:

Readers all over the world, including me, have been waiting for Rebel Heart to release to find out what would happen with Gia and Rush's love story. This is the conclusion to the Rush Duet and it was an intense and passionate reading escape!

I don't want to get into details about what happens in this book because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who has not read Rebel Heir. Every reader needs to fall in love with Gia and Rush just the way that I did and experience every single moment of their love story. Their journey is a roller coaster ride of emotions you do not want to miss!!

This was a great conclusion and I loved that the authors did not rush things when it came to Gia and Rush's relationship. They each had their personal demons to deal with and that put their relationship through many ups and downs. It was easy to relate to them on so many levels. I wanted to reach into the book so many times and give them each a comforting hug when they needed it the most. Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are two authors that always deliver all the feels!

Rating:

I give, Rebel Heart, by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, 4.5 captivating, sexy, passionate stars!

Synopsis:

"What are you doing now that your team is out of the running for the Stanley Cup?" 

Forget. 

I need to forget. I need an escape. 

Only one person isn't falling for my reputation as the NHL's Golden Boy; she captured my attention the minute she called me out for snooping through my best friend's house. She didn't want to hear my reason--she only wanted to playfully give me a hard time. 

Adalyn is bold, sassy--and the perfect escape. 

She's everywhere. In town and in my dreams, and suddenly I need to spend every waking moment with her. 

And I do, making this summer the best off-season I've ever had. 

But in the midst of getting lost in Adalyn, what I don't expect is to get her pregnant.  

And what I definitely don't expect is having to fight for her affection.

Review:

Get ready to swoon and cheer for two amazing characters in One Baby Daddy. Meghan Quinn does not disappoint with her latest book in the Dating by Number Series. This book can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the entire series because all of the couples are absolutely PHENOMENAL!

In One Baby Daddy, we follow sassy nurse Adalyn and intense rookie hockey player Hayden. In this fun, romantic and sexy journey, Hayden as met his match! He's fascinated by Adalyn from the moment he meets her. She's off-limits and even if he's about to get burned, Hayden is about to put his heart on the line. Each new moment that they create together is making them want more. Will the end of the summer and the beginning of the new hockey season drive them apart?

I fell in love with Hayden Holmes from the moment he was introduced in this series. He's such a kind, sexy, sweet and romantic alpha male. Adalyn is the kind of heroine I love to cheer for. She was a great match for Hayden. He was not looking for anything serious during his summer vacation, but she was an unexpected blessing in his life. Their chemistry and banter got me cheering for them from beginning to end!

Meghan Quinn always delivers all the feels!!! I wanted to read Hayden's story so bad when this series first was released. With each new addition to this series, my expectations  grew higher for Hayden's story. Meghan Quinn exceeded all of them and even more! She always writes heart-melting love stories and the swoon fest is guaranteed because her alpha males are absolutely AMAZING!!!  

I'm crossing my fingers that Hayden's brothers will each get their own story because I absolutely loved them to pieces!!! I loved all the supporting cast of characters and it made my heart burst with joy to reunite with some of my favorite characters. I highly recommend all of Meghan Quinn's books. If you have not read anything by her, you're seriously missing out!

Ratings:

I give, One Baby Daddy, by Meghan Quinn, 4.5 fun, romantic, passionate, give love a chance stars!

About the Author:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped. 

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking. 

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Synopsis:

Filthy Gods (American Gods 0.5), an all-new Sexy New Adult Romance by R. Scarlett.

Prelude in the American Gods series.



Young. Wealthy. Elite. Attractive. The gentlemen’s secret society at Yale was filled with them.



And Nathaniel Radcliffe, the bane of my existence, was one of them.



As the right hand of the American Gods, he was conceited and arrogant. A dangerously handsome man in a tailored custom suit and shiny black oxford loafers.



The classroom was our battlefield. We made a sport out of arguing and debating, ready to do anything in order to win over the other.



Deadly opponents, deadlier minds.

I'd sworn I'd never give him the upper hand, until...



The secret I’ve been hiding for the last three years?



He just discovered it…and now he has all the power.

Review:

R. Scarlett is still a new author to me. A few months ago a I read When Sinners Kneel and it left me wanting more! I was excited to learn that she was writing a New Adult Contemporary Romance. This is the genre I read the most so I was looking for something new to catch my attention. Filthy Gods was an excellent introduction to the American Gods Series and I can't wait to follow all of these American Gods and the ladies who will make them fall hard.

Juliette Monroe is about to make a deal with the enemy. Nathaniel Radcliffe is her most fierce competition at Yale.  They both will stop at nothing to achieve their personal goals. They are rivals, but one deal is about to make them become something more. Nathaniel is on a mission to conquer Juliette and his captivating ways are about to create a havoc in her life. Will she get burned by the enemy?

I really enjoyed Juliette and Nathaniel's journey. Even if their story was fast-paced, I really connected with them as characters. Sometimes it's really difficult for me to connect with the main characters in a novella, but it was not the case with Filthy Gods. R. Scarlett's writing style is captivating and her characters grab your attention from the moment you meet them! 

Juliette was a fierce and confident heroine that I loved to cheer for. Nathaniel is a dirty-talking, sexy and intense hero that will make you melt! Their chemistry was super hot and the steamy stolen moments that they shared left me fanning myself more than once! 

The supporting cast of characters was intriguing and I can't wait to read their story. We got a little glimpse of James, Gabe and Arsen. OMG!! I'm so intrigued by Arsen!!! I'm really excited to read what will happen next! Excellent debut to the American Gods Series!

Rating:

I give, Filthy Gods, by R. Scarlett, 4.5 intriguing, sexy, tempting, falling for the enemy stars!

About the Author:

R. Scarlett lives in a small quaint town in Southern Ontario, Canada and has an unhealthy obsession with mythology and romance. 



From studying English literature and minoring in History, she loves losing herself in a good book and snuggling up to her Brittany Spaniel. 



When she's not writing or plotting a delicious novel, she can be found hanging out with friends and family, going on long car rides, exploring small towns, or watching reruns of Sex and the City.

Synopsis:

He’s a reckless cowboy. 
She’s a heartbroken ballerina. 
Is their love strong enough to break free from their painful pasts? 

College student Jack McAllister drowns his guilt with booze and bar fights. But no amount of hard drinking will ever change the fact that his parents are dead and his older brother sacrificed everything to give him a better future. When he sees a beautiful dance student getting shoved around, he finally finds something worth fighting for. 

Giselle Stratford is tired of living in the shadow of her dead brother. Nothing she does is ever good enough for her demanding mother, including her decision to attend a small Texas college. So when a handsome country boy stands up to her abusive dance partner, she knows she’s found someone who loves her exactly the way she is.  

But after a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity opens up back home, Giselle's mother will stop at nothing to sabotage their relationship—even if it means bankrupting her new boyfriend’s tight-knit, cash-strapped family. When the world threatens to rip them apart, Giselle and Jack must find the courage to confront their past traumas to create a bright new future together. 

Stillwater Dusk is the first standalone novel in a heartwarming romance series. If you like boundary-breaking love stories, contemporary cowboys, and journeys of self-healing, then you’ll love L.G. Castillo’s romantic family saga.

Review:

A new book from author L.G. Castillo always brings a smile to my face. I love her writing style and how easily I can relate to her characters. Every single reading escape from this author has left me with a heart bursting with love. I was over the moon excited to meet these new characters in Stillwater Dusk.

Get ready to meet the McAllister Brothers!! In this book, we follow Giselle Stratford and Jack McAllister. One tragic night changed the entire destiny of the McAllister Brothers. Giselle Stratford enters Jack McAllister's life in the most unexpected moment. The sweet ballerina he meets is like a soothing balm to his soul. As days go by, they get to know each other and their bond grows. Their journey has many ups and downs, but their love story is stronger than any obstacle coming their way.

I really loved Giselle and Jack's sweet love story. It gave me all the feels. I have read many stories about rich girl/poor boy falling in love and no matter how many times authors will write about it, I always find a way to connect with each story. I loved how they each opened up about their life and how together they found their happy place.

Stillwater Dusk was a captivating reading escape filled with many fascinating characters. The McAllister Brothers and all the supporting cast in this book stole a piece of my heart. I love how strong this family is.  G-Daddy always brought a smile to my face and I love him to pieces!! This was an amazing reading escape and I can't wait for more!

Rating:

I give, Stillwater Dusk, by L.G. Castillo, 4.5 sweet, captivating, love will conquer all stars!
