Review Round Up ~ The Road Trip Addition




New(er) Releases:


My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Review Copy provided by Publisher via Net Galley

This was a fun historical introduction to a group of heroines of King &Co starting with Tess Townsend.

Tess comes with an interesting back story that makes her role in the “ton” unique and gives her an element of freedom most women her age don’t have.
Justin unexpectedly comes into her life and I loved how these two connected and flourished. One of the pieces I appreciated here was the “nuggets” of truth buried in the tale Justin spun for himself.

While the story is told from a dual POV, it is primarily driven by Tess and her friends/partners. Ms Bateman used Tess well to highlight how women could easily be underestimated in thantime and how taking the time to get to know someone leads to deeper feelings that the first impression.

I am curious to see if her business partners will find romantic pairings as well!

3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Book 2 of the Osborn Brothers, focusing on previous secondary character Memphis. Timeline-wise, this connected stand alone takes place after Hunter’s book. We get to know more about Memphis and his place in the McKenzie world. He is paired with Diah, who has her own baggage and concerns.

I feel like there are two parts to this book. The Memphis/Diah budding friendship to more piece which was excellent and the intrigue story line. The Memphis/Diah was a winner and I really enjoyed these two together.

The intrigue story line (for me) relied a bit too much on previous storylines - including pulling in previous main characters that newer readers may not really know. These were nice tidbits for loyal readers, but may leave new followers a bit confused. This portion of the story line seemed to unfold almost at the last minute.

Overall, I found this book entertaining. I especially loved Tuff the dog! I am a bit curious if Remy has a story soon.

Review Round Up ~ December 20




New(er) Releases:


My rating: 4 of 5 stars -Would Recommend to a friend

Review Copy Provided by Publisher via Net Galley

Nora Robert’s has been a go-to author for a long time. I was thrilled when the opportunity to read her latest book came up on Net Galley.

We meet Sonya MacTavish on the day the life she thought she planned went flying out the door along with her cheating fiancĂ©e. Life changes dramatically when she discovers a long-lost uncle left her the family “manor” in Maine.

Sonya’s move to Maine with her freelance business sets her on a path full of mystery, intriguing visitors, and a hunky lawyer to keep her company. The “manor” has a personality of its own and The town of Poole’s Bay fills the tale with interesting secondary characters.

Ms Robert used her characteristic skill to weave a narrative that had me liking Sonya and her cohort of friends and friendly apparitions and curious to see where their adventures would lead. The thing that kept this from being a 5-star read was the cliffhanger ending. I am anxious for book 2!

A Little Luck ~ Tia Louise ~ New Release & Review

 


A Little Luck by Tia Louise is now live!



Adam Stone is not a saint. 

He’s six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods.

He’s a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and he’s been my friend since I moved to our small town when we were just kids.


But another man took my hand.

He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart. 

I was young. I didn’t know love could be a weapon. 

I didn’t know the hand that caressed you could also cut you.


Now that man is dead, and I’m a single-mom survivor wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn’t come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break.


But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless, one night in Adam Stone’s (supposedly) empty bed changes everything.

I’ve hidden my scars so long, I don’t know how else to be, but I want to try.


I’m in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink, every furtive touch… 

He says he’s different. He says he loves me and my son, and he wants to take care of us.

I believe in this love.

All I need is a little luck.


(A LITTLE LUCK is a spicy small-town, single mom romance with elements of forced proximity, only one bed, who did this to you, he falls first, and a touch of suspense. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

Welcome back to Eureka! A Little Luck is a heavily connected stand-alone telling the story of the youngest Stone brother, Adam, and his long-time friend, Piper. Due to how heavily involved the secondary cast is, I strongly suggest reading this series to get the full effect of A Little Luck.

I loved these two characters together! Piper has baggage she has hidden from her friends for over 10 years. It has impacted her life and relationships. Seeing her deal with that speaks to her courage and makes me root for her all the more. Adam’s love for Piper, and his willingness to let her take the lead, shine through and show how he’s the guy for her. Add in how he treats her son and he is the complete deal for a hero.

Several subplots from the series resolve themselves here - and a few new questions pop up due to new characters being introduced. I am glad to see the town of Eureka is not going away just because we have seen the Stone brothers get things figured out.

Something Like Lust ~ Piper Rayne ~ New Release & Review

 




Something like Lust by Piper Rayne is now live! 


Do it.

Don’t do it.


Never in my life did I think I’d wager in my head whether to sleep with Chicago Grizzlies wide receiver, Damon Siska.


He’s the perfect package—hot body, killer smile, and flirts like he earned a doctorate in it. But anyone who reads gossip blogs knows he is looking for one amazing night and nothing more.


I’m not the usual type of woman he beds. I’m a middle school teacher who cherishes her quiet nights in, drinking wine, and watching romantic comedies, dreaming I’m the heroine. I’m not embarrassed to admit—I want the fairy tale.


But Damon caught me at a weak moment. Fresh off a break-up and feeling lousy about myself, I gave into temptation and left the next morning like every other woman he’d slept with.


Except I walked away with more than just the memories when three weeks later the little white stick glowed with two pink lines.

Book 2 in the Chicago Grizzlies series focuses on team playboy, Damon, and what happens when life throws him a curve ball. He is paired with Adeline a small town school teacher.

The accidental pregnancy trope is one we’ve seen before, but I appreciated the way it was handled here. Adeline is a strong female lead who is willing to put her child first, but not necessarily put herself second.

Piper Rayne does an excellent job of balancing the trio of friends who make up this portion of the Grizzlies series with the evolving relationship between Damon and Adeline. We also get to see him “grow up” and figure things out. I really liked these two together and their journey was a feel good experience.

The secondary cast here is entertaining and I am curious to see where future stories take them.
