ABOUT THE BOOK

It’s so easy to forget that this is temporary, especially when he acts like the most doting husband not just in public but in private. 


But the more time we spend together, the more it becomes clear, how imperfect we are for each other. 


Charles greatest fear is to be a Dad, while my biggest dream is to someday have my own big family.


What will my husband-turned boss do when the lines of my pregnancy test turn pink?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
MEET VIKKI JAY

What can you expect in a Vikki Jay book?

Cute small town vibes. Swoony rich dudes who can be over-the-top alphas except when it comes to their girls. Shy or sassy sweet heroines trying to find their way in the world. Adorable pets. Families you want to a part of.

All my books take place in the fictional town of Cherrywood and St. Peppers. I write about beautiful coincidences, finding love in unexpected places and times, and fighting hard to get that happily ever after.

Grab any of my books, if you’re up for for some cute, steamy read with a touch of angst, and some... unrealistic meet cutes which can only happen in fiction. <3

This is the story about Charlie/Charles and his assistant, Daisy, and their work relationship and well let's just say that it gets very complicated very fast with lots of twists and turns along the way. 

There are a couple serious issues that you will read about in this book. Daisy's father has Alzheimer's and Charles suffers from social anxiety and OCD. 

It's a business type of marriage for both of them. They still work together and are friends, but things become more as they are married and share many adventures as they get to know each other. Its also a bit of a slow burn story as well. 

Charles and Daisy have some feelings that are very similiar. He abandoned by his own mother, and Daisy's mother is dead and she is losing her father. But one runs from love and commitment and the other embraces it.

It was an interesting story. I adored Daisy and loved her  personality. Charles was a harder character to love because he is so closed off from everything and everyone. I really adored how he starts to open up to her as they get deeper into marriage.

Stay Real - Kincaid Brothers #8 - by Kaylee Ryan (Merrick and Courtney)



Title: Stay Real
Series: Kincaid Brothers #8
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town/Fake Dating/Blue Collar
Release Date: August 27, 2024


BLURB

Courtney

Maybe blurting out my imaginary relationship status to my nagging mother wasn’t the best idea.

Declaring that I’m dating my boss’s brother-in-law, well, that was just wishful thinking and a lot of panic.

To my embarrassment, they both overhead me. But Merrick not only offers to be my plus one, he agrees to fake date me for the next couple of months leading up to my sister’s wedding.

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to deny that every look, every touch, is making him more a part of my life than I’m prepared for.

The pain of thinking about walking away from him when it’s time doesn’t feel pretend. It feels real… too real.


Merrick

Courtney’s sister is tying the knot, and her mom is relentless about her finding a date and settling down. In a moment of panic, she claims she’s dating me.

To save her from the awkward situation and ease the pressure, I suggest we fake a relationship until the wedding. I figure we can hang out, show up to the wedding, and go our separate ways.

But as we start spending more time together and meeting each other’s families, the lines between real and pretend blur.

What was supposed to be a simple agreement starts to feel genuine. I’m unsure when it happened, but this relationship is suddenly the real deal, and I don’t want it to end. I want us to stay real.

This was a sweet and sexy story. Both Merrick and Courtney are really great people and who also have good families. She works for his SIL and her mother wants her to find love. To get her off her back she lies that she is dating Merrick and before she can confess, Merrick volunteers.

This is a fake romance story and its a bit predictable. They both are just really good people and there is no drama in this story. No exes getting in the way, no family drama, and some fun sex scenes.

The biggest hurdle in this story is that Merrick doesn't see Courtney as his future and this story really is his opening his heart and eyes to this really great woman. Meanwhile Courtney thinks Merrick is HOT and she takes a chance on him by continuing the lie. 

In this book we get a lot Ryder and Jordan. We also get a lot of the various siblings and the kids. It was an awesome way for the series to end.

FREE IN KU! AN ENDLESS MEMORY - Oil Knights #5 - by Marie Johnston (Lily and Elliot)

  


Why you need to #ONECLICK this book:

๐Ÿ”ฅSmall Town

๐Ÿ”ฅMarriage of Convenience

๐Ÿ”ฅBoss’s brother

๐Ÿ”ฅSingle Mom

๐Ÿ”ฅMy wife

ABOUT THE BOOK
Get married or move out.

Those are my options, thanks to the trust my grandma left and my aunt is determined to enforce.

From Marie Johnston comes a single-mom, marriage-of-convenience romance.

If I don’t get married, I’ll have to find somewhere to live that I can afford with two kids and a lot of debt—and do it without losing my brand-new job. When my aunt confronts me on the move-out deadline, I try to buy time. I blurt out a name. I tell her I’m engaged to Eliot Knight.

Eliot’s my boss’s brother and he’s been around the vet clinic where I work. He’s hot. He’s charming. He’s who I’d pick if I had to marry someone at a moment’s notice. But he wasn’t supposed to hear me. He wasn’t supposed to get dragged into my mess. And he wasn’t supposed to agree to help me. Now, we’re Mr. and Mrs. Knight.

We only need to be married for a year, and he runs his family’s ranch in another town. Three hours away. Yet circumstances keep throwing us together, and I get a lot of time with my new husband. I fall hard the first time I hear him say, “My wife.”

But our lives are still separate. At the end of the year, I’m afraid I’ll get to keep my house, but I’ll lose my heart and be left with nothing but endless memories.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meet Marie Johnston

Marie Johnston is a RITA® Finalist, and a best-selling and award-winning writer of paranormal and contemporary romance – and an avid reader of them both.

Several years ago, when kids started outnumbering adults in the house, Marie Johnston left her job as a public health microbiologist to stay at home. Settling into working part-time and shuttling kids around gave Marie the opportunity to think about what she wanted to be when she grew up. A die-hard science geek, she explored her previously thought to be non-existent creative side after much time spent making snowman crafts and coloring princesses. Having entertained thoughts of writing a book one day then subsequently deciding it would be too hard, she finally put the figurative pen to paper and began to type – and fell in love with story telling.

 

The Sigma Menace is the first series by Marie with Fever Claim being her first book EVER.  She is humbled by the fact that people are willing to read to her books and looks forward to keeping readers entertained for many years.

 

Marie lives with her husband and four kids in North Dakota where the summers are gorgeous, the winters are brutal, and spring and fall are luxuries.

This is Elliot's story and its a single mom, marriage of convenience romance with Lily who is a single mom to two kids and who works for his Sister in Law, Sutton.

Elliot is the last of his siblings who are married and having kids. He is a perpetual bachelor and has no intention of ever getting married because he has daddy issues I guess you could say. But when he finds out that Lily is almost homeless but if she is married, she can stay in her house, he decides what the heck to get married to her.

The issue is that Elliot runs a ranch three hours away. So while this is a marriage of convenience, its also a very long-distance type of relationship. 

Elliot is this great guy, but he pretty much has his foot outside the door the whole time. Which was one reason I didn't fall for him. But he is also honest and has a great heart, so he tries his best to not get attached. 

The person I loved in this story is Lily. She has this wonderful heart and family and while she is young, has two kids and a full-time job, she is one tough cookie, and I positively adored her. Part of that is her awesome family and I can't wait to read more about her siblings. 

Her kids are so adorable too and I really enjoyed reading her story. I watched her get stronger and more independent and I really loved her so much.

This is Nash's story and it features my fave little guy, Cutler aka Beef Cake and he is paired with the new doc in town, Dr Emerson Chadwick. She is taking over for the towns doctor who wants to retire. 

Cutler had a bad asthma attack before the book starts and Nash and him visit the doctor right after the attack and that's when he meets the new doc in town and he doesn't take it well, that the doc is retiring. In addition, he finds out that the doc is his new neighbor. 

It's a really fun story with Nash as the grumpy single dad and very hot neighbor. I loved watching Emerson meet the characters from previous books in this series and she has the cutest dog named Winnie. 

Emerson grew up in a small town close to Magnolia Falls and so she is a small-town girl, but she is only in town for six months, but no one can resist the people of Magnolia Falls. So, I really enjoyed watching her making friends. Some of the scenes really gave me a huge grin.
