Landlord Wars by Jules Barnard (Sophia and Max)


Landlord Wars by Jules Barnard is now live!

ABOUT THE BOOK

I found the perfect rental in the overpriced city I can't quit. My only problem? The arrogant landlord is my new roommate's best friend.
 
Max Burrows comes from one of the wealthiest families in San Francisco. He's tall, built, with chiseled good looks some women might find attractive. He also enjoys annoying me with his brutal honesty.
 
Yes, I know my clothes are too baggy.
 
Yes, I realize my hair is a rat's nest in the morning.
 
And yes, I tend to leave mugs all over the house. His point?
 
Under the guise of spending time with his friend, Max has been known to share embarrassing personal facts to potential suitors and eat my chocolate.
 
The chocolate is the last straw.
 
Max is not my roommate, and I shouldn't have to put up with his presence.
 
But he does own the building...
 
It's a sticky situation.
 
I might kill Max, or I might kiss that mocking smile off his face.
 
All's fair in love and rentals...

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

This was such an awesome story and so much fun. Its a romance story within an apartment building and about their relationships with their family and friends. 

It stars, Jack and his brand-new roommate, Sophia. Jack has a best friend and landlord - Max. Max is wealthy and a bit overprotective of Jack since he last had a romance with a crazy roommate. So, when Max meets Sophia for the first time its hate at first sight.

Over time Max starts feeling lust for Sophia but she still hates him and so he has to convince her that he is not the enemy and is an awesome guy. Meanwhile his parents want him to get together with his ex and keeps matchmaking and butting in. But Max knows what he wants, he just has to convince Sophia.

This was a really fun story with adorable characters, and I loved Sophia and Max so much. Max does have some stupid moments, but I love that he knows when he is being an idiot and tries to make up for it right away.

Dear Grumpy Boss by Julia Wolf (Elise and Weston)

ABOUT THE BOOK

I've spent the better part of the last few years successfully avoiding my brother's best friend, Weston Aldrich.

As CEO of Andes, Inc, the infuriatingly handsome and incessantly grumpy Weston also happens to be my new boss.

It shouldn't have been hard to continue avoiding him. After all, he's on the executive floor and I'm one of many copywriters.

Weston has his own ideas about how things should go between us. He's in my emails, leaving notes on my desk, and as if that's not enough, he arranges for me to accompany him on a business trip.

That leads to stolen touches, frenzied kisses, and the undeniable need to work each other out of our systems.

That always works, right?

Except now that I know what it feels like to have Weston Aldrich appreciate every inch of my abundant curves, avoiding him is impossible.

But he's my brother's best friend.

And a workaholic.

We have to stop.

And we will. Soon.

Just...not yet.

This is a forbidden romance between Weston and Elise/Ellie. Lise who is his best friend's little sister. When she learns something horrible about her boyfriend she runs home and ends up working at West's company.

This is a story very much about siblings and their relationships. Weston has a brother, Miles and Elliot is Elise's older brother. In this book we see how their relationships differ and cause jealousies that go back to their youth.

While Elise ends up at the same company as West, she does not work directly for him, he has his own assistant, Renata. Miles also works there and so he does get jealous of the friendship that Elise and Miles have formed when he has unresolved feelings for her. 

The forbidden aspect of this romance was really about being his besties little sister who he and all his friends have protected and facing his feelings for her. Elise loves her brother and never wants to come between West and her brother. So these two decide to have a fling but things shall we say get complicated.

This story was very well told, and I enjoyed it. I loved Elise a lot and how she felt about her body. She was so awesome, and I loved how she fought for herself in relation to her ex, with Miles, Weston and even Elliott. She was absolutely the best part of the book. I was sometimes very frustrated by West and how he acts. He seemed very wish washy at times but what I did like about him was that he knew Elise was this awesome person. 

I loved the ending, and I LOVED Miles so much, along with Luca and Elise's best friend. This was a really wonderful romance if you love the forbidden best friend trope.




Because You Said Yes - Willow Bay #2 - by Kelly Collins (Charlotte and Bastien)





BLURB

He needs a bride.
She needs a project.
Can a fake marriage lead to a lifetime of love?

Charlotte Sutton has dreams as big as the Texas sky, and she’ll do anything to make them come true. She’s been Miss Lonestar State, a beauty consultant, a real estate agent, and has now set her sights on becoming Willow Bay’s most sought-after wedding planner. She’s never been in love or married but that doesn’t stop her from creating every bride’s fantasy day. It’s easy—all she does is plan her dream day. So, when devilishly handsome billionaire Bastien Richmond approaches her about arranging an over-the-top wedding, she’s all-in until she finds out he doesn’t have a bride.

Bastien Richmond is a lot of things, but marriage material isn’t one of them. He’s been a playboy all his life, until his sister passed away and left him the sole guardian of his niece. The only promise he’s ever made was that he’d take care of little Ivy, so when his mother threatens to fight for custody if he doesn’t marry, he tells her he’s already engaged. With the clock ticking, he needs to find a bride. Can the pretty little wedding planner deliver everything she promised? After all, she did say that no request was too large.

A handsome billionaire. A beautiful bride. A dream wedding. Is it a fairytale come true or a disaster in the making?

This is not a light read. It's a story about the tragedy of Cancer and what it do/mean to a family and how they pick up after. If this is something that is too painful to read, I want you to know that this story will make you cry as a young mother, Chloe of 40 dies from Breast Cancer and leaves behind a five-year-old daughter named Ivy. 
This story centers on how a brother, mother and daughter find a way to go on and find their own happiness after such a huge tragedy. And a neighbor, Charlotte, who didn't know what was happening next door but who ended up being the salvation to her brother, Bastien and her daughter, Ivy.

Bastien is Chloe's brother and who promises to raise her daughter. On the day his sister dies he meets Charlotte who is a neighbor and a new business owner. Bastien knows absolutely zero about kids and has no idea what to do. Charlotte is a longtime resident and when she ends up in trouble, Bastien and Ivy are there for her as well.

This is very much a matchmaking romance as Bastien needs to marry fast but not for love, it's a way to keep Ivy with him instead. He asks longtime resident, Charlotte to find him the perfect match. And that's when things get shall we say interesting.


Ascend - Elements of Rapture Series #2 - by Swati M.H. (Garrett and Bella)



BLURB

Did I plan to marry the single mom I’ve wanted for years on a drunken whim in Vegas? No.

Do I regret it? Heck no!

Bella Patel might think we’re just friends, or that I’m nothing but a playboy pilot, or even that this marriage is only a temporary charade . . . but I’m hell-bent on proving her wrong.

If she’s skittish and stubborn, then I’m dependable and determined.

So, when her scumbag baby-daddy threatens her and she asks me to double down on our ruse, I’m only too eager to comply.

My condition? For her and her daughter to move in with me. You know, for ‘optics’ sake.

Because by the end of this marriage contract, the only jackpot I want to win is a chance at forever with her.

AUTHOR BIO


I prefer to call myself a storyteller rather than an author. I'm a mom to two beautiful little girls and a wife to an incredibly supportive husband. My days start with caffeine and sometimes end with a glass (or three) of wine. 

I'm a Texas raised Indian American currently living in the Bay Area. With a degree in Computer Science and an MBA, I've had a successful career building software products but writing is both my hobby and my passion. 

For me, writing and reading are an escape from real life. I love meeting and creating characters who I'd love to take out for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. My goal as a storyteller is to distract my readers from their daily grind with stories about everyday couples finding and fighting for incredible love with the help of a little luck.

This is book 2 in the series but easily stands alone. I did read the first book, Adrift which has both Garrett and Bella both in that book. This story takes place about 4 years later after the events that happened in Adrift.

In Ascend we get to know Bella a lot more than as a friend and cousin to Rani (heroine in Adrift) who ended up pregnant after a one-night stand. Garrett we also get to know much better as more than just Darian's (hero in Adrift) playboy brother. 

This is a marriage convenience with a single mom romance trope, but it was a wonderful story that had some awesome characters and adorable little girl that both main characters love. It also has exes that stir up lots of trouble that takes these two friends/relatives and brings them closer together.

Garrett fell had for Bella in Adrift, but she had so much going on that they only had been good friends until this book. Garrett sees an opening and he wants Bella and her daughter so much that he takes his one shot with her. I loved him so much. He was adorable with Meera, and I really was totally rooting for him to win Bella's heart.

This was a really awesome romance of two people who have to work together and it starts off a bit rocky. Added into this story he is a new single dad and a rock star. This is the story of Jillian Braden and Johnny Bad who are supposed to work together and when he cancels on her for the second time she gets mad and storms into his life at the worst possible moment, when he just discovered he has a teenage daughter, Zoe.

Zoe's beloved grandmother has died, and her mother has dumped her on father's doorstep. Johnny had no clue he had a daughter and when he finds out he needs to escape and Jillian showing up in his life is perfect as Zoe bonds with her and she gives them the perfect place to hide out and that is how they get to spend time with Beau and Charlotte Braden in Colorado.

This was a really fun story. I loved the chemistry between Johnny and Jillian and I also loved seeing all the other characters from previous books and series as they interact with Zoe, Johnny and Jillian. 

If you love a good rock star romance and a new dad romance, then you will love Jillian and Johnny's story.
