FOREVER STARTS TONIGHT - Wilder Family #4 - by Karla Sorensen (Poppy and Jax)

ABOUT THE BOOK

It’s no secret that I’ve been in love with Jax Cartwright for half my life. A terrible decision, really, and not just because he’s my brother’s best friend or he’s ten years older than me. 

Thanks to an overprotective family, he’s ignored me for years, but still, I can’t get his grumpy a** out of my head. And in a wine-fueled, post-bad date funk, I make another terrible decision: show up at his cabin to ask why he’s never given me a chance.

 The storm that got me stuck there overnight was a total fluke, but I’m no fool. While Jax is perfectly clear about not wanting a family or love or any of the happily-ever-afters I’ve dreamed of, what’s the harm in asking for just one night? The worst thing he can say is no. 

He doesn’t though, and I was saying yes, yes, yes a whole lot after that. Best. Decision. Ever. 

One night is enough to feel like I can move on, and we agree to let it be a secret kept safe between us. But you know what makes it hard to keep a one-night secret about my not-so-secret crush? A positive pregnancy test. 

Oh baby, things are about to get interesting.

This is the book I have been waiting for and OMG it was better than I could even imagine. It's Poppy's story and it's with Jax, the guy she has loved since she was 15, and Jax is her 10-year older brothers' best friend who is opposed to love, marriage and babies. And he goes through the wringer in this book, and I loved watching it happen to him.

After he gives her one night he goes away and when he comes back, OMG he gets the shocker of his life. I loved Poppy and I loved Jax for her. While she is younger than him, the truth is she is so much more mature than him. And I love that in this book she teaches him how to love, how to take risks, even if it maybe will hurt. 

I also love that while he runs away, well she does not pine for him. She moves on and I love that she takes life and goes for it. No matter what it is. But I also love how fair and honest she is. She is not a game player at all.

This is my favorite book. I could go on and on and on about how much I loved it. It's because Poppy is this awesome character and Jax really grows in this story. I also loved his letter to her. Best love letter EVER!

Pretend For Me by Swati M.H. (Dev and Piper)

Pretend For Me by Swati M.H. is now live!

ABOUT THE BOOK

I botched a broody billionaire's haircut, and what did he ask from me in repayment?
That I become his fake fiancée!

In my defense, my new migraine meds had packed quite the drowsy punch that morning. One minute I was trimming his GQ-worthy locks, and the next, I'd given him a side shave that would make a Marine jealous. 

Fast forward through a ticked-off Dev Menon storming out of my salon, threatening legal action, and I'm thinking the day couldn't get worse. 

Except it does . . . 

Dev returns hours later with a wild proposition, "Marry me. Temporarily."

Turns out his mother's dying wish is to see him get hitched, and I'm the lucky girl who owes him a debt. The catch? I also have to move in with him to really sell the ruse. 

Soon enough, I'm realizing my career isn't the only thing on the line with my hot-as-Hades fiancé. My heart is, too. 

So, I counter with a wilder proposition: a purely physical relationship with three simple rules. No kissing, no sleepovers, and definitely no falling in love.

Except, the more time I spend with him, the harder it becomes to stick to my rules. Dev's charm, his skilled hands, and his enormous . . . heart are testing my resolve. Even my traitorous cat is smitten.

Did I get more than I bargained for, or am I about to lose this very hairy game of pretend?

This appears to be a new series by this author but one that takes place in the same world that she has created with her previous book series. This is a fake fiancée/ marriage romance and I would say they are complete opposites. He is Mr. Straight Laced and she is Miss Free as a Bird.

Dev ends up with the worst haircut ever and when Piper offers to fix it any way he wants, he asks her to fake marry him to give his dying mother her last wish.

The first part of the book I did not love. The reason is Piper, she is too crazy and over the top. I think the author was trying to make me laugh and instead I just found Piper annoying. Dev on the other hand I really loved. He is a good guy and just wants to make his mother happy. He comes up with this crazy idea and he gets Piper to agree. A majority of the book is their engagement. 

The last part of the book is centered on Dev's mother and Piper's issues. She is terribly afraid of love. I really loved how Dev is with her. He builds her up and shows her how special and awesome she is. I really loved the last part of the book. It has its sad moments but also its triumphant moments as well.

ABOUT THE BOOK 

From blind date to blindsided…

I've been living my dream life for so long, it never occurred to me it could turn into a nightmare overnight.

But that’s exactly what happens when my estranged sister dies, leaving me with temporary custody of her moody eleven-year-old daughter.

At twenty-six, I’m a professional hockey player and bachelor with zero interest in settling down, let alone raising a kid—especially one that hates me.

That’s where the other skate drops…

The stunning new woman in my life is the sunshine to my grumpy, but I can’t stay away, even though I know I shouldn’t start something I can’t finish.

Now I’m outnumbered, and to make things extra fun, the only person my niece hates more than me is my new girlfriend.

I’m learning the hard way there’s no play book for parenting… or dating.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

This is Canyon and Saylor's story. He is a hockey player and she is a former model and now an art gallery owner. In this book they decide to have a casual sex relationship. Friends with benefits. 

Thats the first part of the book. The second part of the introduces Ally, his 11-year-old niece. For a guy to go from no commitments to a niece is huge and it takes its toll on a relationship with Saylor. 

The last part of the story is where Saylor's stalker gets a bit dangerous. I don't want to say too much and ruin all the great moments in this story.

I do want to warn sensitive readers that this book deals with serious subjects like child abuse, drug abuse, death, and a tiny bit about Cancer. 

Iced - Walker University #1 - by Cala Riley (Clayton and Grace)

BLURB

Clayton

Being the star player on the Walker Wolves has been everything I was working towards.

That is, until my grades slip, threatening to take it all from me.

I have to do something drastic to keep my dreams alive, so I hire a tutor.

That’s when I met her.

Grace Myers.

She is the complete opposite of me. Shy, innocent, kind.

She’s meant to tutor me on school, so why does it feel like she is schooling me on life?

Grace

I have spent half my life in love with Kellan Cooper, but he has never felt the same.

If friendship is all he can offer, it’s what I’ll take from him.

I thought life was simple.

Until I met him.

Clayton James.

He is everything I’ve always hated. Loud, arrogant, a player.

So why do I find myself unable to stop thinking about him and his lips?

When opposites attract, will they have a fairytale ending or are they destined to crash and burn?

This is an awesome story. Its primarily about a freshman college student named Grace. She has had a best friend her entire life who wanted her around to be his bestie but also knew she was crushing on him and told her he didn't want that with her. So, as he grew up and went through women like Kleenex, he never freed her. Until college when she starts to make friends and that's when he decides he is ready for more.

But he never counted on Junior, Clayton James. Who sees Grace and what a treasure she is and he starts to treat her like she always was supposed to be treated. He shares his friends, becomes her bestie and opens up her eyes and heart to life and new experiences. 

This really is an awesome story. Its about growing up, letting go and growing and changing and letting life happen, not hiding from life and not clinging to something that doesn't work because its a bad habit. Its about finding your person and getting rid of the toxic in your life. Its about seeing who you are and loving yourself.

It really is a great story. I loved every second of it. I loved both Grace and Clayton, they are such terrific people and characters. 

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.
