Elizabeth's Review


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Review Copy Provided by Author


This was a super quick, fun, and flirty read.
Average Jane Kindergarten teacher, Kaylee Rose, literally runs into her celebrity crush and sparks fly for both of them.
A wild night, a walk of shame, paparazzi, judgmental bosses, a wilder idea, and a publicist who forgot who the boss really was all add up for a Cinderella like take that was hard to put down.
I found myself liking Kaylee and Paxton together and rooting for them. The authors did a good job of painting a portrait of what life is probably like for Hollywood’s upper echelon and what would happen to an unsuspecting regular person who wasn’t ready for the spotlight.

Misadventures with a Rookie ~ Toni Aleo ~ Release Boost

MISADVENTURES_AvailableNowBANNER
Misadventures With A Rookie by Toni Aleo is the HOT HOCKEY romance you've been waiting for! AVAILABLE NOW!

Winning has always come naturally for stud ice hockey defenseman Gus “the Bus” Persson. On the ice or off, he’s never had any trouble scoring, racking up goals—and girls. As the best player in his rookie class and the number-one draft pick of the Malibu Suns, he’s taking his game to the next level and is justifiably full of swagger. So why does one of the Suns’ ice girls treat him like he’s invisible? Bo St. James doesn’t have time for rookie hotshots who think their gloves don’t stink. She knows them, she works with them, she trains them. It doesn’t matter that Gus Persson is the hottest newbie she’s ever seen. She knows his type. She’s got big plans of her own, and she’s not going to let some cocky rich kid athlete keep her from her goals. But there’s a chemistry between them they cannot deny. A lust that burns so hot, it threatens to melt the very ice on which they make their livings. The game has changed for both of them. Together, can these two play to win?   About the Author:
My name is Toni Aleo and I’m a total dork.
I am a wife, mother of two and a bulldog, and also a hopeless romantic.
I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena’s glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!
When my nose isn’t pressed against the glass, I enjoy going to my husband and son’s hockey games, my daughter’s dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and reading the latest romance novel.
I have a slight Disney and Harry Potter obsession, I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, I might have been a Disney Princess in a past life… probably Belle.
… and did I mention I love hockey?

Review Round Up

It's that time again - I'm catching up on reading again. 

ARC Reads

  Love and Other WordsLove and Other Words by Christina Lauren

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

Review Copy Provided by Publisher via Net Galley

This is a book I finished and just had to sit and “be” with while I tried to figure out how I felt about it.
This is an author team that I haven’t read a lot of and this is advertised as a departure from their norm. If that’s the case, then we need to see more like Love And Other Words.
The timeline flips between past and present for Macy and Elliot and while it causes a bit of a slow start to the story, it really works in this case. The fact that the two timelines mirror each other in a sense pulls things together and adds needed tension to the story line.
Macy and Elliot are both characters that are easy to like, even if some of Macy’s motivations don’t seem clear until late in the story. I found myself rooting for them to get things figured out and hoping that whatever kept them apart could be repaired.
While this is, at its core, a love story, there are also a lot of other significant emotional moments. Macy’s story is heavy and I think that is part of what makes her reconnection with Elliot so important.
It’s hard to say much else without running into spoiler territory. If you are looking for light hearted fun, keep moving. But, if you are looking for an emotional read with a sense of hope - stop, and get comfortable. My favorite word: promise.

 Lost and Found Sisters (Wildstone, #1)Lost and Found Sisters by Jill Shalvis

3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time

This is a book that has been lingering on my TBR for a while, my only regret is that it took me as long as it did to read it.
In Lost and Found Sisters, Shalvis introduces us to a new series set in a small, coastal California town. The town and it's quirky inhabitants are strong supporting characters for the story being told. The focus is on Quinn who is coasting through life until a small town lawyer turns her life upside down with the news she is adopted and has a teenage sister.
Quinn centers in two story lines. One focusing on the relationship with her newly discovered sister, Teeny, and the efforts to build a relationship with her. The second, on her budding relationship with hot guy, Mick, she meets on her first day in town.
Quinn, Teeny, and Mick are all incredibly easy characters to like and relate to. The story is written with Shalvis' trademark sense of humor and is incredibly touching from an emotional standpoint. Long time fans should be prepared that the heat level between Quinn and Mick is significantly lower than what they may be expecting. This is very much a relationship story and the focus is more emotional than the physical.
Well written and entertaining, this is a series introduction that has me looking for more.

Review Copy Provided by Author



I finished The Edge of Heaven earlier this evening and I’m still reeling a little bit. Ms Riley’s conclusion to the duet is well written and heartbreaking all at the same time.
This book picks up immediately from where the first book leaves off so we see what happens to Winnie and the roles that Trey and Jasper continue to play.
These are characters that are captivating even when they are hard to like. I found myself rooting for Winnie and wanting to bring her home all at the same time. She is a character that just about ripped my heart out, especially seeing her struggle to accept genuine expressions of kindness and structure. It was easy to see her potential to spiral into the very lifestyle she was so desperate to avoid.
My only complaint about the story was the role Alex/Dray played. The motivation behind his betrayal of Winnie never really made sense to me. It worked as a driver of the story, but I wish I understood it more.
This is a serious, heavy book and the reader should consider that, but it pulls you in and won't let you go.

Tulsa ~ S.L Scott ~ Cover Reveal

Title: TULSA
Author: S.L. Scott
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 3, 2018
Cover Design: RBA Designs
SYNOPSIS
From New York Times Bestselling Author, S.L. Scott, comes a hot new rock star romance that will sweep you off your feet and leave you with a smile.
The rumors are true. At least where I’m concerned.
Drummers hit it harder and do it better.
Women love me and I love them. But I like to think of myself as a sensitive soul trapped in a lady-killer’s body. Not so surprisingly, I’ve been called cocky a time or two. What can I say? We can’t all be boy scouts.
Nikki Faris has thrown off my rhythm. With her red lips, smart aleck mouth, short skirts, long legs, and blue-sky eyes, the beautiful lead singer has become a complete distraction on this tour.
She loves to give me a hard time when all I want to do is give her the pleasure of my hard—time right back.
Tulsa Crow can save his pick up lines, great eight-pack abs, and cute dimples to use on someone else. My band earned their spot on The Resistance’s tour just like The Crow Brothers. I’m not going to blow it getting sidetracked by a cocky rock star that wants to sleep his way through the states. I’ve been called a name or two, but easy isn’t one of them.
   
ABOUT S.L. SCOTT
Living in the capital of Texas with her family, Scott loves traveling and avocados, beaches, and cooking with her kids. She's obsessed with epic romances and loves a good plot twist. Her favorite color is blue, but she likens it more toward the sky than the emotion. Her home is filled with the welcoming symbol of the pineapple and finds surfing a challenge though she likes to think she's a pro.

Now, it's just me and my girl against the world till the new girl moves in next door. 
Is there such a thing as a perfect love story?

Chapter One Hailey

“Hello.” Turning down “Glorious” by Macklemore blasting in the background while I washed the kitchen floor with Pine Sol and water, I answer the phone after the first ring.
“It’s me.” I hear my best friend and cousin, Crystal, say from the other end. “Where are you?” I can’t see her face, but I know something is wrong. Even though she’s asked me that question a million times before, this time it’s different. There is no carefree tone. This time, it’s curt and to the point with no laughter in her voice.
“I’m home,” I say, almost whispering as my hand shakes against my ear. My mouth suddenly goes dry, my neck starting to get hot. Something inside my stomach suddenly drops when a slow burn sets in.
“You need to come to the hospital.” Crystal is an emergency room nurse at St. Mary’s, so whatever feeling I was having before has now doubled. “Blake is on his way to get you.” When she mentions my brother, I now know something is gravely wrong. The honk outside doesn’t allow me to question her any further. “You need to get in the car, okay?” she says softly but firmly. “Listen to me, Hailey. Go outside and get here.” My head nods as the hand holding my phone to my ear falls away.
The front door opens, and Blake comes in, looking at me with sorrow and sadness. His brown eyes meet mine briefly, and then he looks down. He doesn’t say anything to me; he simply holds out his hand to me. I put my hand in his, and he leads me out to his truck. He opens the door for me, helping me take that step in.
As I’m looking at him, he pulls the seat belt over my chest and buckles me in. My mind’s still playing the phone call, trying to dissect the conversation. Trying to find one little word that can be the clue. “It’s going to be okay.” His voice breaks through the haze.
I nod my head at him, then he steps back and shuts the door, jogging over to his side. He gets in and puts the truck in drive. I’m on the outside looking in, watching my life fall apart without knowing it.
The only thing I’m certain of is that the sun is shining without a cloud in the sky. As I watch a bird soar through the sky almost in the same direction we are going, I think to myself, Bad things don’t happen when it’s sunny outside, right?
I watch the bird, not even realizing we’ve made it to the hospital. I don’t have a chance to open my door because Blake has it opened before I even think to reach for the handle. “You’re going to be okay,” he assures me as he raises his baseball cap to run his hands through his short dark hair.
“What’s going on?” I have a feeling my entire life is about to change, so I beg him to tell me before we walk through those doors. Blake doesn’t answer. He just reaches down to grab my hand and lead me through the revolving doors.
The harsh smell of antiseptic immediately fills my nose. Voices bombard me, though, none of them are familiar. Glancing around, I take in the hustle and bustle of the emergency room. My heartbeat echoes in my ears as I try in vain to locate a familiar face. I just need to know who we’re here for.
As we silently walk down the corridor, my mind never stops thinking about why we are here. I look up at Blake, asking the one question that makes my heart squeeze with such intense pain, it feels like it might explode.
“Is it Mom? Dad?” I can hear the pleading in my tone. He gives me nothing, continuing to look straight ahead. My eyes go back to the floor, following the tile pattern as we make our way beyond the entrance to the emergency room. The first thing I see is both of my parents, alive and healthy. My mother has tears running down her cheeks, and my father has his arm around her shoulders. They are standing next to the nurses’ station. I look back at Blake in horror. “Is it Nanny?”
He doesn’t have time to answer because Crystal comes out from behind the nurses’ station in her everyday uniform of blue scrubs and Crocs, wearing a stethoscope around her neck.
With one glance at her face, I stop my feet in their tracks. My feet are stuck to the floor as if someone crazy glued them to that spot. I can see the hurt and tears in her eyes. She looks at me with her head tilted sideways, her bottom lip trembling. My body blocks any movements I try to make. I try to advance to Crystal, but I can’t. My knees start to give out, and a horrible shrieking sound comes from somewhere.
I try turning my head to see where the yelling is coming from, but I can’t. I’m on my hands and knees in the hospital corridor. It isn’t until the coldness seeps through my hands that I realize I’m the one screaming. That wretched sound is coming from me. Me. My throat raw, my eyes burning, and my heart irrevocably broken. No words need to be said. No confirmation given. I don’t need them to bring me to a place where we can “talk quietly.” It’s at that moment I finally know what everyone else knows.
My husband is dead.

The Love Series is coming.
When one man’s death exposes a complex web of lies, three couples discover the true meaning of love, loss and redemption. 
Three couples, three different stories!
Unexpected Love Story June 5th (PreOrder)
Broken Love Story July 10th (PreOrder)
When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...
