Romance Book Review! ~ The Two Week Roommate: A Grumpy / Sunshine Romance (Wildwood Society Romance Book 2)  by Roxie Noir

ABOUT:

We used to be best friends. Now we’re snowed in together.

There are probably worse things than being stuck in a remote cabin with the rugged-yet-grumpy forest ranger who saved my life in a blizzard. Getting mauled by a bear, for example, though I might prefer that to eating breakfast with Gideon Bell, the guy who nearly ruined my life when we were kids.

It was twenty years ago. We haven’t spoken since. Our families still hate each other, and our lives are completely different. I’m not sure we’ve got anything in common besides childhood memories.

But when it’s just the two of us for a couple of weeks, none of that really matters.

What matters is the way Gideon grumbles, but makes my tea exactly the way I like it. What matters is how he always gives me the spot on the couch closest to the fireplace. What matters is how he looks at me when he thinks I’m not paying attention.

And those childhood memories? He’s in all my favorites.

Up here, in the cabin, it’s easy to look past all that because it feels so good to kiss him. It’s easy to spend a wild night in front of the fireplace and wake up still wrapped together. But back in the real world, where everything that drove us apart is still alive and kicking? It’s a lot harder.

Can Gideon and I fix what broke twenty years ago, or does what happens in the cabin have to stay in the cabin?

The Two Week Roommate is the second book in the Wildwood Society series, and can be read as a total standalone. It’s for fans of high heat forced proximity romantic comedies, and features childhood friends-to-enemies-to-lovers who get snowed in together, a quirky, charming small town, a grumpy former military hero, a sunshine heroine who melts his heart, and plenty of steamy scenes. Of course, there’s an HEA.

Get your copy HERE!!

The Two Week Roommate was a good romance with a surprising backstory that I really enjoyed. Gideon was all set to enjoy a holiday by himself in a tiny cabin on top of a mountain but a squirrel and a woman tied to a tree intervened and changed his plans.

From that moment forward, this story really takes off. The woman stuck to a tree in protest is none other than the former-best friend that he’d betrayed in a truly horrible way. It leads to many moments of awkwardness but it doesn’t stay that way for long.

I loved the friendship that existed between Gideon and Andi before everything went wrong and the way they were able to recapture it while stuck together on the mountain was really nice. I can admit that I had a hard time with Gideon at first, not solely because of what he did back then because he was a kid, but his struggle with the brainwashing he endured really kept him tied up in knots.

But his determination was and is worthy of admiration. He loved his siblings and he wanted a life different from how he was raised and–eventually–he went after it. This was the slowest of slow burns and it didn’t bother me at all. This was a surprising read that I really enjoyed.

Romance Book Review ~ The Problem with Players by Brittainy Cherry

ABOUT:

As a female coach, I’ve always lived by a simple mantra: throw hard, swing for the fences, and never, ever look back–especially when it comes to past flames.

So when my ex-boyfriend somehow manages to land the job as my new assistant coach, my life is flipped upside down. The game I thought I’d mastered is now being played with a whole new set of rules.

My ex is baseball’s all-star Nathan Pierce. He’s tall, dark, and undeniably handsome. He’s also all too eager to spend extra hours working together while flashing that familiar devilish smirk of his that still sends my heart racing.

Between playful teasing and lingering stares I discover that Nathan isn’t just here to work. He’s here to rewrite history. Our history.

And when fate throws another curveball involving me needing a place to stay, Nathan offers up his spare bedroom, which sends me spiraling into emotions I believed had long since faded.

Now I’m faced with the ultimate decision: keep it professional and continue fleeing from our past, or confront it head-on by playing the game he thinks we were meant to finish together.

Romance Book Review ~ Slow Southern Kisses by TC Matson

Title: Slow Southern Kisses
Series: Magnolia Grove
Author: TC Matson
Genre/Tropes: grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, opposites attract
Release Date: May 9, 2024
Cover Design: Sarah Paige
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/200608083-slow-southern-kisses

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.
