Once Upon a Sure Thing is a friends-to-lovers story that is low on drama and high on humor—just how I like it. Lauren Blakely continues to impress with this series about three brothers who used to be members of a famous teen boy band. Single parenthood is integral to each brother’s story, and these sexy former pop stars are blessedly allergic to one-night stands.
I chose to read Devil in Winter as part of the Ultimate Reading Challenge for September 2018 which is to read a book outside your comfort zone. Historical romances are definitely something I avoid, but I bit the bullet and dove in.
I just finished Managed and I swear I want to start over and read it again. It exceeded my expectations on every level. With a clever story, witty dialog, and winsome characters, I had a perma-smile on my face the entire time I was reading. I have the stretch marks on my cheeks as proof.
Once again L.J. Shen has made me fall in love with an anti-hero. Yes, Bane is a liar, a con, a thief, a bully, and a whore. Guess what? I fell for him anyway.
Brace yourself. If you think Block Shot is your run of the mill enemies to lovers romance, think again. This book is simply more: more complicated, more impassioned, and more believable.
Color me impressed! Alexa Martin scores a touchdown in her debut novel, Intercepted, an entertaining sports romance centered around a fierce heroine.
Lauren Blakely has a knack for blending naughty and nice. She serves up a healthy dose of both in Once Upon a Real Good Time, and I must say the combination goes down nice and smooth.
Kiss the Girl is the final book in Tara Sivec’s winning The Naughty Princess series. I’ve been anxiously waiting for Ariel’s story, and it was well worth wait.
Hot dang if The Naughty Princess Club series isn’t proving to be consistently delightful. In Bed With the Beast isn’t as laugh out loud funny as At the Stroke of Midnight, but it is undoubtedly humorous and every bit as entertaining.
Overall thoughts on The Fortunate Ones: This was a bit of a mixed bag. It was an easy read that I enjoyed in one sitting, even though there’s too much on-again/off-again going on. I liked the tension between James and Brooke. Their relationship has some complexity, and I wanted the two of them to get together. At the same time, their chemistry tends to be a little off. Brooke’s sister is rather annoying, but this book should suit drama llamas and hopeless romantics alike.
This entertaining story goes out to all the women who had an unrequited crush on an older guy when they were in high school. I include myself in that illustrious group.
Great news! I can finally fit into my old pair of jeans because I laughed my ass off while reading At the Stroke of Midnight. We’re talking tears rolling down my face laughter that lasted throughout the entire book.
