Romance Book Review! ~ Late Nights & Love Lines (Single Dad Hotline Book 2) by Avery Maxwell

ABOUT:

The job was simple. Answer the phone, solve the single dad’s dilemma, and move on.

I’m the temporary solution.

The fill-in.

The short-term Single Dad Hotline Helper until a more suitable one can be found.

I don’t get attached, I don’t stick around, and I certainly don’t fall for the single dad.

Until the job said, “Hold my beer,” and tipped my world upside down.

Suddenly my past and present are colliding to create a future I didn’t ask for. One I’m not even sure I want. One I know I’m not cut out for. A live-in nanny for my childhood crush?

Yeah, no thanks!

But when Sebastian Walker reenters my life with three children full of sadness that I feel in my soul, how can I turn them away?

He takes my superstitions and runaway tendencies in stride while claiming my days. But before I know it, he’s demanding my nights too.

When it’s his touch that soothes the fears inside me, what’s a girl to do?

Seb & Rowan. What can I say other than I absolutely loved everything about this couple. Their history and the way they crashed back into each other’s lives so many years later. I loved his strength and her vulnerability, and I totally adored Seb’s kids.

This story is like an ensemble drama, filled with great characters with several things going on that have nothing to do with the love story but still enhances all of it. The found family theme that runs throughout this story definitely tugs at the heartstrings and the way these rich, powerful men protect each other and each other’s families is just…beautiful.

Late Nights & Love Lines is a wonderful love story filled with heat and emotions and a big, overwhelming group of people who meddle and hug and suck you right in to their beautiful, chaotic lives.

Forbidden, Age-Gap Romance!

Antoinette

I love what I do.

Teaching people how to play the piano leaves me feeling content.

But that all changed the day he walked in to pick up his son.

Handsome, charming, and alluring. He was all I ever wanted in a man.

Too bad he’s the father of my student.

I know it’s wrong, but I can’t stop thinking about his hands running over my body.

What am I going to do?

Jakob

I didn’t want to be there, but a dad’s job is never done.

I also didn’t expect to find his piano teacher young, hot, and attractive.

She got my blood racing the moment our eyes met.

I’ve been burned before but I am falling for her hard.

Is she the one, or is this just another wasted effort to find love?

One way or another, I’m going to find out.

Blurb: 

Wrenley

When my grandmother asked me to run her bed-and-breakfast while she took a three-month vacation, I should’ve said no.
Now I’m stuck in this godforsaken town hours away from the pampered life I live in New York City.
Gone are my days filled with luxury and glamour. I’ve been reduced to being domesticated.
What can possibly go wrong?
Decker Black, that’s what.
He walks into my life—more like breaks in, but whatever—and immediately irritates the hell out of me.
I can’t stand him. He’s moody, grumpy, and surly all rolled into one annoyed glare.
Until one severe storm changes everything.
I never could’ve imagined a slower, simpler life was everything I was missing.
Unfortunately, my home is in New York and my heart is stuck in Alabama.

Decker

My life is quiet and calm. Just how I like it.
Until Wrenley comes barreling in out of nowhere and disrupts everything.
Gone are my days of balance and routine. She brings turbulence and chaos.
She’s quick-tempered with a bold mouth full of sharp jabs and is entirely ungrateful.
She’s a headache, and I’m ready for her to go back to where she came from.
So why can’t I stay away from her?
The more time we spend alone, the more I realize underneath all the anger is something beautiful. 
And I like it. I like her.
I never thought love and happiness was missing in my life.
Unfortunately, my small town no longer has everything I need.
It doesn’t have her.

Romance Book Review! ~ Sex and Other Shiny Objects by Lauren Blakely

About this book:

I’ve been curious about a few things I’ve read in romance novels. Do buttons truly go flying across the floor when you rip off a guy’s shirt? Is staircase sex hella hot or does it leave you with a big old bruise mark on your back? And don’t even get me started on all that panty shredding.

My best guy friend volunteers to test the scene. We have a plan to keep it PG and but once the buttons start flying, all bets are off…

Blurb:

What happens when the brewery prince falls for the mermaid and ends up endangering his entire kingdom?

Welcome to San Camanez, a humble, peaceful little island in the Puget Sound and home to the McEvoy brothers. Four sexy single fathers—and one childless snack with a beard—who run a brewpub on the beach, raise their kids together, and hope to find love and happiness in the chaos that is life. This is Clint’s story …

Single Dad and brewmaster Clint McEvoy went down to the beach to drink and wallow. He never expected to find a Hollywood starlet naked and unconscious on the rocks. Nor did he expect to learn that someone wants her dead. He’ll do whatever he can to keep Brooke safe, even if that means risking his heart and his family’s peaceful life to do it.

Brooke Barker didn’t see it coming. One minute, she’s on a yacht, celebrating the release of her latest film, the next, she’s fighting for her life in the frigid Puget Sound. Waking up on Clint’s couch was a blessing she’s not sure she deserves. Now, she needs to figure out who pushed her while allowing the world to think she’s dead. One thing that’s alive and well, though? Her attraction to Clint, and her growing affection for his young daughter.

Can Brooke keep her heart out of the equation, and also keep the McEvoy family safe? Or will hiding on the island and in Clint’s bed bring danger to their doorstep?

Excerpt

He cupped it gently, and she pushed forward, encouraging him to get a little more forceful.
Taking the nipple between his thumb and finger, he gave the nub a small tug, and she moaned again.
Flicking her gaze up to his, her nod barely discernible. But he saw it.
Oh, fuck, did he see it.
He dipped his head and brought the same nipple into his mouth, sucking and flicking it with his tongue as Brooke arched her back, letting her hair tumble down behind her.
She pressed her breast into his face and another one of those sexy moans rumbled up from the depths of her throat as she rocked against him.
She drove her fingers into his hair and held him in place. Held his face to her chest. His mouth to her nipple. All he could do was move to the other breast, sucking on that delicious raspberry and reveling in her moans and sharp inhales.
“Clint,” she whispered, yanking on his hair, to pull his mouth free and his head up. “Please …” She bit her bottom lip and glanced down between them to where they were dry humping, almost without even thinking about it. His hips rocked of their own volition, and it seemed hers did, too.
He nodded, and she carefully climbed off him, removing the shorts she wore so that she was very quickly naked. It wasn’t like she wore much to begin with. Just shorts and a tank top. No bra, no underwear.
He had a bit more work ahead of him and had to stand up and drop his jeans and boxers. He didn’t remove them completely, but once his cock was free—and much happier because of it—he sat back down. She went to climb on, but he stopped her. “I … I don’t think I have any condoms.”
“I have an IUD, and as soon as I found Flynn cheating, I got tested and haven’t been with anyone since.”
“I’m clean,” he said, his voice gravelly as his hands found her hips and he guided her back into his lap. “I haven’t been with anyone in … well, we had this discussion last night.”
Understanding dawned in her eyes. “Wow.”
“Yeah,” he breathed. “Might be a little rusty.”
Her smile took the last remaining molecules of oxygen from his lungs as she lifted onto her knees, reached between them and grabbed his cock, angling it to her center.
When that first bit of wet heat hit his cockhead, he nearly came on the spot.
Holy fuck.
“Hopefully, it’ll be like riding a bike,” she said, all sexy grins as she sank down, taking all of him inside her.
Her hands found his shoulders, and she started to lift and drop.
It was heaven. Pure. Fucking. Heaven.
She pressed her tits up toward his face, and he dropped his head to capture a nipple again, flicking it with his tongue. But she yanked on his hair hard enough to make him grunt and claimed his mouth again.
This woman took control.
He liked that.
He liked that she initiated things. He wasn’t taking advantage of a confused and vulnerable woman. She was leading this. She was setting the pace.
And Brooke’s pace seemed to be warp-speed, because as soon as their lips collided, she started to ride him less like a bicycle and more like a mechanical bull.
And the woman knew how to ride a mechanical bull.

Praise for the novel:
“This book has it all, it’s full of love and family loyalty, it’s full of passion and once you add in the danger and suspense you get the perfect read. I fell hard and fast for Clint and I’m excited to get to know his brothers better, I adored Brooke but it was the love for Talia that took this read to another level. Wonderful start to the new series. ~Jackie Wright (5-star Goodreads Review)

“Mystery, Romance, a bit of heartache! This book gives me Disney Moana or The Little Mermaid vibes as it takes place on an island. She is a Hollywood starlet. Come and dive into this 1st book of a new series!!! ~ Shelley (5-star Goodreads Review)

“Wow! What a great start to a new series! It’s an emotional roller coaster ride! With murder, secrets, mayhem and steamy sexiness you get a great story! I loved Clint and Brooke’s story! Will a brew master and a Hollywood star make a relationship work? Clint, Brooke and Clint’s daughter Talia make a perfect family! Rescued by the Single Dad is a romantic mystery with heart and love.” ~ Cindy Hughes (5-star Amazon Review)

“Whitley Cox expertly weaves a tale of growing attraction and unexpected twists, leaving readers on the edge of their seats and reaching for their tissues. “Rescued by the Single Dad” is a rollercoaster ride of emotions, showcasing Ms Cox’s talent for crafting compelling characters and heart-pounding storylines, this is going to be a not to be missed new series. ~ Caroline Podger-Scott (5-star Amazon Review)

“I am a huge Disney fan and this story gives off some major Little Mermaid/ Moana vibes. The story of Clint, Brooke and Talia will forever live rent free in my head. This was the story I didn’t know I needed. The twists and turns had me guessing multiple scenarios. I can’t wait for the next one Whitley! ~ Crystal Felker-Onions (5-star Goodreads Review)
