Pretty Relentless - Pine Village #4 - by Lacey Black (Gavin and Ava)

BLURB

Ava

My life is content. Living and working in my small hometown of Pine Village is right where I want to be, especially with family and a few close friends nearby.

It’s taken me some time to dig my way out of the negative spotlight I found myself under a few years back, thanks to an old photo from college that resurfaced. That’s why I have rules: no social media, no drinking alcohol in public, and no dating the father of one of my students. Then, Gavin Pierson rescues me from the side of the road.

He’s not making it easy to say no, especially when he flashes that sexy boyish grin of his. The only problem is dating him would be a complication I’m not prepared to deal with, but he’s proving to be relentless.

Gavin

Something calls to me when I’m near my daughter’s shy fifth-grade teacher. I wanted Ava Rutledge when we were teenagers in high school, and now that seems to be the case once again.

However, she’s given herself strict guidelines, and despite the attraction I know she feels, convincing her to take a chance on us could be a challenge. It's a good thing I’m a patient man. The biggest hurdle we face is the fact she’s my daughter’s teacher, and that’s the one rule she’s not willing to budge on.

I’m going to have to show her how much fun it can be when we break it.

This was a fun story. It stars Ava and she is matched up with hottie, single dad and younger man, Gavin. She is the local teacher and Gavin's kid ends up in her class and that's when the fun begins.

Ava is hot for Gavin and Gavin is hot for her. In fact, she was his teen crush when he was 15. But she was a few years ahead of him in school, so she didn't know he existed. Now he is a single dad, and she ends up being his kid's teacher.

They live in a small town, and this is a bit of a forbidden romance/hiding relationship type of story. Ava and Gavin are so cute together and as you know in small towns its hard to hide anything. 

This was a fun story. The age thing and forbiddeness of the relationship were minor plot points in my opinion. This is more of a story of a man who sees his ONE and wants her but has to convince her to give him a shot.

The One I Didn't See Coming by Piper Rayne is now live! 

ABOUT THE BOOK

It’s the classic story—girl returns to her hometown only to end up moving in with her high school crush, who she hates.

Returning to Willowbrook was my only option after Chicago chewed me up and spit me out. Technically, it wasn’t Chicago’s fault. It was his fault—the man I thought I knew who turned out to be a liar.

My older sister, always the one to swoop in and fix things, secured me a job as a yoga instructor on her fiancé’s family ranch. As my self-assigned protector, she’s keeping one eye on me and one eye on Emmett Noughton, her fiancé’s brother.

He’s the charming, fun-loving, take-life-as-it-comes kind of guy, and once upon a time, his name was scribbled in my notebooks. Back then, I was invisible to him. Now, he’s looking at me like I’m the only thing in the room. But he lost his chance with me a long time ago.

It’s easy to keep him at arm’s length and nurse the grudge I’ve held onto for years. Until the house I’m staying in sells, and I have nowhere to go except his house. Now, resisting him isn’t just difficult—it’s impossible.

This is Emmett and Briar's story. They are both siblings to the couple from the first book, Ben and Gillian. This book has quite a few tropes and here is my list:

Enemies to friends to lovers

Roommates 

Forbidden Romance

and one that's a spoiler so I can't share...

This was a really awesome story and there were some cute, fun, flirty and LOL moments. I loved watching both Emmett and Briar mature in this book. They formed a relationship that I loved, and they stole every scene they were in. And you see them both grow up and face the mistakes they made in the past. 

In a way this story is about redemption and second chance and honestly this books title is perfect. You will understand what I mean when you read this story. 

End Game - Kings of Campus #1 - by Monica Murphy (Nico and Everleigh)

ABOUT THE BOOK

End Game by Monica Murphy is now live! 

In this fun, sexy college romance, a transfer student finds herself living in a house full of football players—and falling for the one she knows she shouldn’t want.

Everleigh

Transferring to UC Santa Mira is supposed to be my ultimate college experience—until housing falls through at the last minute. So when I overhear a group of guys complaining they need another roommate, I jump at the opportunity.

They’re just football players. Even if one of them makes me weak in the knees, it doesn’t mean anything unless I let it. And I won’t.

We want different things. Wanting each other doesn’t change that.

Nico

It’s my senior year and final season with the Santa Mira Dolphins. The last thing I need is a distraction, but that’s exactly what this girl is. Ever is too leggy, too gorgeous, too thoughtful—and a whole lot of too much that gets under my skin.

I guess I get under hers too. I can’t help myself.

We live together. That alone makes it a bad idea…but I never could resist a little trouble.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a new series by the author and it takes place in college and involves players on the football team. Aside from games they play and parties, it is very light on the sports part of it. I really loved it and got caught up with all love,lust, romance, hot scenes between the two main characters, Everleigh and Nico.

Ever gets to college and discovers that she has nowhere to live. She has a car filled of stuff and no place to put it. She decides to try and scope a place at the local coffee shop and that's where she overhears a group of football players discussing an empty spot in their place.

She stalks them and pretty much begs for a spot. They end up saying yes and she ends up neighbors and sharing a bathroom with the very hot Nico. 

I really loved the whole group that we meet. Nico is the strong, silent but hot guy, Cooper is the friendly and kind roomie who has an awesome sister, Sienna that Ever becomes close to. And Frank/Dollar is the guy that stalks and falls for girls at first glance. Gavin is a non-roomie but Sienna has a huge thing for him while he has never noticed her. They all welcome Ever and introduce her to college life.

I loved watching Ever make friends and enjoy college life while falling hard for Nico. And I adored Nico. He is a good guy who a lot of people never really get to know. He lets Ever in and I adored watching them fall for each other. I cannot wait for more in this fun series.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

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.
