Book Review ~ I Pucking Love You by Pippa Grant

ABOUT:

You know those stories where an adorably misunderstood clumsy girl needs a fake date to a wedding so she asks her brother’s best friend and they accidentally fall in love?

I wish that was the kind of life I lead, but it’s not.

I don’t need a date to a wedding. I need a date to a funeral.

Clumsy sometimes fits, but then, that’s true for all of us, right? But adorable? No. Misunderstood? Nope again. I’m just your average girl, standing in front of a funeral invitation, asking it to be a winning lottery ticket instead.

And I don’t have a brother, or a best friend with a brother available, which means I’m stuck with Tyler Jaeger.

Sure, he’s a professional hockey player who also knows advanced calculus, but let’s say we’re not compatible and leave it at that. I should know. I am a matchmaker.

Not a very good one, but that’s beside the point.

I know a mismatch when I see one.

Still, Tyler’s what I’ve got, and I am not going to this funeral solo, so he’s what I’ll take.

After all—what could go wrong at a funeral?


I Pucking Love You is a hilariously wrong romantic comedy about the world’s worst matchmaker, a hockey player with a problem he doesn’t want to talk about, and an awkward date-of-convenience that everyone would prefer to forget. It comes complete with a cat working his way through his nine lives, all the sexy times, fish and chips, and a swoony happily-ever-after.

Romance Book Review! ~ Heartsick & Lipsticks by Shawna Renae

About:

Nick Locke
My life was exactly how I’d planned it. Growing up, I wanted to rule the world, and being CEO of Locke Media Group fulfilled that dream. I’d started with nothing and built a billion-dollar empire one brick at a time. My motto was work hard, play harder. Becoming a single dad had rearranged my priorities, but I still found time to live up to the title I’d earned of San Francisco’s Most Eligible Bachelor.

Settling down was not in the plan…until I met her. She took me by surprise and had me reevaluating my bachelor status. Single life was all I’d ever known and ever wanted, but that was before I knew and wanted her.

Skye Taylor
My life was not how I’d planned it. Growing up, my dreams were nursery rhymed inspired; love comes first, then marriage, then a baby carriage. Things hadn’t gone in that order. Becoming a teen mom by a man who wanted nothing to do with me or our baby was not how I’d envisioned my life. But I rolled with the punches making the executive decision to focus on my daughter and my career.

No dating. No drama. No problem. I’d managed to go fifteen years living by that credo. But then I met him. I never saw him coming and he had me not only rethinking my choices but also bending all my rules.

Heartsick & Lipsticks is an opposites attract, single dad/single mom, forced proximity, insta-love, slow burn, reformed playboy, billionaire romance. This happily-ever-after is as far from cookie-cutter as you can get. The recipe for this romance is one part hot and tasty tattooed hero, one part sweet and savory sworn-off-relationships heroine, and two parts spicy and seasoned meddling family and friends. This delectable dish is sprinkled with zesty and zingy humor, drizzled with tender caramelized aww-inducing connections, and marinated with spicy sizzling sexiness. Bon appétit.

Romance Book Review! ~ Cherish Me Forever by Layla Hagen

About:

What starts as a pretend romance soon turns into so much more…

Newly divorced Dominic Waldorf is the most coveted bachelor in Chicago. At least, that’s what he thinks. I’d describe him as more of a Neanderthal with a really nice backside.
When I accidentally spill champagne on him at a charity event, he accuses me of hitting on him. Then later, I run into him in an empty coat room, and he’s convinced.

The truth is even more embarrassing.

I’m hiding from my ex-fiancé, who showed up with his new wife—my former best friend. I try to hold it together, but instead spill my guts to this handsome stranger.

Dom surprises me by suggesting an agreement: we pretend to date. I get to rub it in my ex’s face and he appears off the ‘market’. You scratch my back—I scratch yours, that sort of thing.
Dom is an excellent fake boyfriend. He’s protective and caring, and even gives me a smoking hot kiss.
Then things get complicated. The charity has another event for us to attend —out of town, and overnight.

Between late night confessions and three more smoking hot kisses—not that I’m counting—I start wondering if he’s really faking everything.
I’m certainly way past pretending.

Soon after, Dom admits that he wants to date me… me, Reese Maxwell, for real!

But my heart isn’t allowed to make any decisions anymore.
Except — maybe — this one last time…

Romance Book Review!! ~ He’s Not My Type by Meghan Quinn

ABOUT:

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.

Cuddle Up With A Sexy Single Dad This Holiday Season!

It’s that time of year again when the weather is cold, fires are roaring and hot chocolate and mulled wine are permanently on the menu, so what better way to pass a few hours or even a day, than a small town holiday romance?!?!

🔥💖🔥Welcome to Mustang Prairie🔥💖🔥
Trixie is a Mustang Prairie girl, born and raised. At least until her parents up and moved her to a commune in Oregon and far away from the love of her young life. Jack Thorpe.

But grownup Trixie is back in Mustang Prairie and ready for the next chapter in her life, which includes her lingerie store Under the Skirt and starting her own line of sexy lacy things. When her past collides with her present in the form of a tall, blonde artist, Trixie has to wonder if her girlish crush could be the answer to her grownup dreams?

Jack married his high school sweetheart, only it didn’t turn out so sweet and he never got to tell her it was over. Now he has to smile and pretend while the world goes on and on about how great Marissa was, especially now that he’d brought his girls back to Mustang Prairie for good.

The one bright spot in town was the new and improved girl next door. Little Trixie wasn’t so little and Jack was more than a little interested. Too bad he wasn’t interested in another round of the rollercoaster known as love and commitment.

Too bad he can’t stay away.

It’s the Winters brothers first Christmas in Winter Harbor!
They’ve reconciled, found love, found a purpose and are winning over the hearts of the townspeople. What more could they ask for?

Perhaps even an inkling of an idea what to get their better half for Christmas for starters.

And now they’ve been tasked with a matchmaking quest that seems downright impossible. Maribel has put it on the brothers and their lady loves to help widow Drucilla Crombie finally get the man she’s pined over for nearly sixty years. But old Mr. Gentry is oblivious and ornery and, according to Maribel, would need a map and a compass to find the nose on his own face, so he’s completely hopeless when it comes to love.

Now, it’s up to Callum, Carson, Colton and their women to help bring the two Winter Harborites together once and for all. But it won’t be easy. And if that’s not hard enough, there’s a journalist in Summer Hills hell-bent on dragging the Summers and Winters family names through the mud. So they need to figure out what his problem is and put a stop to it before things escalate and ruin Christmas for everyone.

Get ready for laughter, swoony moments, and one unforgettable Christmas in the quirky small coastal town of Winter Harbor, Oregon as the brothers and their loves unravel mysteries, play matchmakers and sneak moments under the mistletoe for the first time ever.
