Review Round Up

That's Right - It's Review Round Up time again. Here are a couple of reviews for recent releases! 

Tempting as Sin by Rosalind James

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ms. James is one of those authors that always manages surpass my expectations.
I went into Tempting as Sin expecting to be entertained and expecting to enjoy the book, but it's the second book in the series. We've seen glimpses of the main characters before, so I was honestly expecting it to be a little "less" than Guilty as Sin (Sinful, Montana #1)
Expecting that "less" was a BIG mistake on my part.
While Tempting is a follow up/companion to Guilty, the story and characters are independent and carry their own weight in a well written, heartwarming story. We do see some of Paige and Jace (as you would expect since their siblings are the main characters here), but this is very much Lily and Rafe's story.
From mistaken identity, to misunderstandings, shared dogs, vengeful exes, and little girls needing love Lily and Rafe's adventures left me feeling hopeful that things turn out they way they are supposed to and that the end is the best thing for everyone.
Ms. James has mastered the slow burn and capturing the emotional essence of a relationship. She is a versatile author whose work I genuinely look forward too. No matter where she takes us next, I'll definitely be reading along.

 Break Your Heart by Tracey Alvarez

3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided by Author

This is a fun friends to lovers story with a slight twist.
Sam and Vee have known each other since they were children, but have only become closer again in the last several months.
They decide to fake a relationship for reasons that make sense at the time and that relationship becomes very real.
I enjoyed both Sam and Vee and their confusions and struggles to figure out where they should be. Break Your Heart is a solid effort from Ms. Alvarez. It continues a series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone. I enjoyed the sense of family and community portrayed in the book and look forward to more in the series.
