Lauren Blakely made me an instant fan with her hit, Big Rock. She has penned four successful spin-offs since then; I’ve read and enjoyed each one. Full Package is number five, and it’s absolute romantic comedy perfection.
I’m so over adulting right now, and Meghan March’s books always provide an entertaining diversion from real life. Real Good Man was just what the doctor ordered.
What a fun and sexy little story! When Mia’s fiancé calls off their wedding a week before the wedding day, her friends convince her to go on her honeymoon trip to Paris alone. Her vacation to the City of Love gets off to a rocky start when she is confronted with lovers everywhere she goes. On the verge of returning home, Mia escapes into a sports bar where Lucas is bartending. After chatting, Lucas urges Mia to give Paris another chance and he offers to be her tour guide. Although the scruffy Frenchman isn’t her type, she quickly grows attracted to him.
I think I read almost every sub-genre of romance last month: romantic suspense, sports romance, enemies to lovers, romantic comedy, contemporary, YA, and erotica. Novellas and tearjerkers were also part of the mix. In case you missed it, here’s a recap of the books reviewed in December 2016.
I’m a fan of the Driven series by K. Bromberg, and Down Shift makes a nice addition. You’ve got two strong main characters, each of whom are at a crossroads in their lives. Zander is forced to face his past and evaluate his priorities when his reckless behavior puts him dangerously close crashing and burning. Getty needs to find independence and confidence after escaping an abusive past.
Bullying is something that’s unfortunately very prevalent among youths. Regardless of whether it’s subtle or blatant, verbal, physical, and cyber bullying is degrading, humiliating, and devastating for the victim. I was intrigued by how extreme bullying could start—seemingly out of the blue—between two people who were once inseparable best friends and destined to be more.
I love Sarina Bowen’s work and was super excited to learn she was releasing a new sports romance series. I had high expectations for Rookie Move. Unfortunately, this one was a bit of a letdown for me.
Thank you for helping me reach 2,000 likes!! If you’ve read my Best Books of 2016 blog post then you know how much I adore the Full Tilt duet by Emma Scott. To celebrate 2K, we’re offering signed paperbacks of Full Tilt and All In to one lucky follower.
I met my reading goal this year by reading over 160 books! Although there were many 5-star books released in 2016, these books—including two duets—stood out to me.
I’ve been in ARC jail with a tight reading schedule and little time to dig through my TBR pile. However, I’ve discovered a secret: free and cheap audiobooks.
Oh the feels! I’ve lost the ability to even with this book. Full Tilt left me wrecked in the most wonderful way and set the bar very high for All In which is the second book in the Full Tilt duet. If Emma Scott was aiming to destroy my emotions once again, target achieved.
Long story short, on the whole I enjoyed Mile High more than the previous one. It’s pretty close to 4 stars. I’m a sappy romantic, so I loved seeing Bianca nurtured and showered with affection.
