Review: The Best Man (Alpha Men #2) by Natasha Anders

Image
Available on Amazon.com *  Amazon.de *  Goodreads Synopsis: It has all the makings of a picture-perfect wedding. There’s just one detail that could have used a little more planning… Hulking ex–rugby player Spencer Carlisle has crushed on Daffodil McGregor since high school. On the field he knew the moves. Off, he was a clueless clod who never gained an advantage. Rejected and rebuffed, his infatuation finally cooled—like ice. Now, it’s impossible not to feel the chill—since he’s the best man and she’s the maid of honor at their siblings’ wedding. For the sake of harmony, they’re calling a truce. Daff has her reasons for being a cynic when it comes to romance. And twice as many for not letting on that she finds Spencer attractive—although she’d rather gnaw off her thumb than admit it. Still, there’s more to the sweet and sexy lug than meets the eye. Maybe he is the one who can heal her emotional scars. Maybe he’ll give her a second chance. Because Spencer could...

Release Day Review: Rockstar by Lauren Rowe

Image
Now available on Amazon.com  *  Amazon.de  *  Goodreads Synopsis: It was lyrics at first sight when I saw Violet Rhodes across that crowded party. She was lights and darks, swirled together. Music in motion. And all of it while looking like a hitwoman at an Elvis convention. I had nothing to offer the intriguing girl but a one-night stand. I figured I’d revel in my last night of anonymity before my first tour and shoot her a quick “We’ll always have L.A.!” goodbye the next morning. But nothing went according to plan. In one night, Violet crawled under my skin and into my bloodstream. She tattooed her name across my chest and between my legs. She became my muse. And then she was gone. Now, months later, here she is again. And in a twist I never saw coming, it turns out Violet is ultra-violet radiation. Beautiful, ethereal light bringing with her the promise of damage and destruction. My brain tells me to walk away from this girl, but my heart can’t stop feeli...

Review: Time (Laws of Physics #3) by Penny Reid

Image
Now available on Amazon.com  *  Amazon.de  *  Goodreads Synopsis: A (brokenhearted) physicist. Now an infamous (who is LITERALLY EVERYWHERE!! UGH!) musician. The worst has already happened. Mona has learned that she has nothing figured out and plans are meaningless. After leaving her in Aspen, Abram is now breaking sales-records, rising to rock star fame almost overnight. Mona can’t seem to escape him. He is literally everywhere, or at least images of him are. Just when she thinks things can't get any more confusing, Abram returns . . . What happens next? Only TIME will tell. Review: Time. Time was not enough. Not nearly enough time with these amazing characters. It is one of those stories where you get to the end and you just want more, more, more. I saw the time left counting down as I read and I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Mona and Abram. I didn't get nearly enough time with them even though we had three separate books. I still want more. I ...

Review: The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata

Image
Available on Amazon.com  *  Amazon.de  *  Goodreads Synopsis: Vanessa Mazur knows she's doing the right thing. She shouldn't feel bad for quitting.

Review: All or Nothing at All (Billionaire Builders #3) by Jennifer Probst

Image
Available on Amazon.com  *  Amazon.de  *  Goodreads Synopsis: Tristan Pierce left the family business to carve out a life of his own, but never forgot his passionate affair with the much younger, inexperienced Sydney Green, or the hurtful break-up that tore him apart. When he’s forced to return home and face his past, will he be able to carve out a future, or will lies ruin his second chance at love? Sydney Green loved Tristan her entire life, but when he left, he took not only her heart, but her trust with him. Now that they’re together again, it’s time they both face the biggest secret of all…. Review: All of Nothing at All has a storyline that I normally hate, but this author managed to write it in a way that while I still didn't love that piece, I didn't hate it either. Plus the overall story was really fun to read. *slight spoilers ahead* Sydney has always loved Tristan, but when she finally grew up and he finally saw her as more than jus...

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Now available on Amazon.com  *  Amazon.de  *  Goodreads Synopsis: Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh...

Review: Stetson (Iron Horse #1) by Danielle Norman
