Finding Alexei by Kendall Ryan ~ New Release and Review

02027       07 He’s bossy, moody, and overprotective. He’s also a pro athlete who needs to focus on winning games and staying out of the headlines. I’m fiercely independent and need a man like I need a second period each month. So when our worlds collide, I never expected him to be the one to jump in and save me. Especially not when my roommate disappears, leaving me with her baby. I’m clueless about babies—and it shows. Good thing Alexei isn’t. With six nieces and nephews and an apparent hero complex, the dude is both sexy and more than capable. It’s a combination that makes it easy to forget we’re just playing house.

3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time


Review Copy Provided by Author


This is a quick read from a reliable and entertaining author. Finding Alexei is a standalone read in a connected series, so we have met Alex before (in Dear Jane for me) and it was nice to get to know him a little better here.
I have to admit to struggling with this one a little bit, especially the set up. On one hand, I admired Alex's desire to step in and help someone in a dire situation, but how the situation played out just seemed a little over the top.
Character wise, I liked Alex and Ryleigh. I appreciated that they both had a deep down desire to help and make life better for someone else. Ms Ryan hinted a little bit about how Ryleigh ended up where she did, but never really addressed how her choices had been the best she could do and that's information that I think would have helped me in relating to the character more. There was also a hint about how Ryleigh's job/history could negatively impact Alex's career, but that potential conflict was left unexplored.
Overall, this was a fun and fairly light read. I would have like to have seen a more exploration of the potential conflicts and character development, but it's still a book worth reading.       A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author of more than two dozen titles, Kendall Ryan has sold over 1.5 million books and her books have been translated into several languages in countries around the world.

The Secret to Dating Your Best Friend's Sister ~ Meghan Quinn ~ New Release and Review

   
How do you date your best friend's sister? Easy. Step one: Pretend you want her to set you up with someone else. That will bring the two of you closer. Step two: Go on date with lots of random women, proceed to get stupid drunk and talk about your best friend's sister, thus gaining the courage to finally make a move. Step three: Randomly show up at her apartment and confess your love. Women love that, right? It all seemed so simple. A fool-proof three step process that will guarantee the love of you life to fall madly in love with you. At least--that's what I thought was going to happen. But my attempts to win over Julia Westin backfired in more ways than I can count. The thing about Julia? She's smart--really smart--and her wicked gaze cuts through all the charm I've tried slinging her way. She's not interested in games, my gifts, or my stories. She might want me too; but she's not giving in that easy... ADD TO GOODREADS

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Review Copy provided by Author


This was a really fun twist in a classic trope!
Bram and Julia have known each other since they were both students at Yale - he a senior and fraternity brother to her older brother and she a sophomore.
I really enjoyed the fact that the highly successful and self made Bram was the one who had been nursing an unrequited crush on the slightly nerdy Julia for nearly 10 years. What made things even more fun was the fact that his fear or rejection led him to some pretty drastic measures to try and get her attention.
This was well written with a small, but very entertaining cast (both primary and secondary). There are lots of romantic moments, both big and small, sexy time, humor, friendship, and low angst. These were characters that were incredibly easy to like and root for. As I got to know everyone, I really wanted to see things work out for them and would love to see stories about secondary characters in the future.

Wicked Knight by Sawyer Bennett ~ New Release and Review


Wicked Knight (Wicked Horse Vegas, Book #5) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: January 1, 2019

 


 Synopsis:
He never wanted to be anyone’s hero… Asher Knight is tall, dark, and wickedly handsome. He’s also irrevocably broken. Submerging himself in long hours at work by day and debauchery at The Wicked Horse by night, Asher uses work and play to numb the pain and guilt he feels over the death of his wife. What isn’t satisfied with one will surely be resolved by the other. At least that’s how he’s survived the last few years. Hannah Madigan works three jobs just to make ends meet. Beat down by life, not to mention a cheating husband who was unfairly awarded custody of their daughter, Hannah is determined to make a better life for herself and get her kid back. But with pressures mounting and one costly mistake that leaves her owing Asher a huge debt, Hannah is as close as she’s ever come to throwing in the towel. She’s given a golden opportunity… Determined to stay the course by any means necessary, Hannah accepts an unusual proposal from Asher. He’ll give her a job. She’ll give him her body. Sounds easy, right? Until she realizes she needs his help more than she’s willing to admit. And he finds her adding to his life in ways he never wanted to accept. This wicked knight may just learn that sometimes saving someone else means allowing yourself to be saved in return.

About the Author: Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released multiple books, many of which have appeared on the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone. Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active daughter, as well as full-time servant to her adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or even better, both. Sawyer also writes general and women’s fiction under the pen name S. Bennett and sweet romance under the name Juliette Poe.

4.5 Stars - One of the Best


Review Copy Provided by Author


The Wicked Horse series is one that always surprises me. Books that start out as strictly physical and heavily erotic end up being emotionally impactful and sweet.
Asher is in the mold of the Wicked Horse leading men. He’s very much an Alpha type who has closed himself off emotionally. He manipulates a situation to get what he wants and in this case he wants Hannah.
Where Asher is a straight forward character and easy to understand, Hannah is a little harder to get a grasp on.
Hannah’s situation is one that would be easy to judge and a lot of people would look down on her for her actions, but I found myself impressed with her strength.
One of the things that I appreciated about Wicked Knight was that it was Asher, the more emotionally stunted of the two, that drove the change in his relationship with Hannah from something purely physical to a budding friendship and more.
Well written, as always, Wicked Knight, is a story that pulls you in with entertaining characters and keeps you on your toes as they fall in love without even realizing it. This is a series where the books start as a fun romp and end up reinforcing the idea that love truly can heal wounds.
