Audiobook Review ♥ Jock Road by Sara Ney
I liked this book, but I loved the audio.
Genre: New Adult
Review: The Guy on the Left by Kate Stewart
Yes! I just struck single parent rom com gold with The Guy on the Left. It is the next book in Kate Stewart’s The Underdogs series and it’s Troy’s story. We first meet Troy in The Guy on the Right, but both books can be read independently.
Mini Audiobook Review: The Year We Hid Away by Sarina Bowen
It’s weird to go back and read some of Sarina Bowen’s older work because I think she’s a much better storyteller now. Overall, The Year We Hid Away is a pretty decent story with likable characters.
Review: The Play by Elle Kennedy
Elle Kennedy has a knack for writing college sports romances that are witty and warm. The Play is the third book in the Briar U series, and once again I find myself delighted. This is a standalone so it is not necessary to have read the previous books. However, those familiar with the series may remember Hunter as the hockey player who had a painful crush on Summer. Now it’s time for him to find his dream gal.
Review: Beard with Me by Penny Reid
I have been a longtime fan of the Winston brothers’ shenanigans, but I wasn’t sure what to expect from a story that goes back in time to when they were teens. What I found is that Beard with Me enhanced my appreciation of things I already knew, but it spoils nothing for newbies to the series. It isn’t just about the beginning of Billy Winston and Scarlet St. Claire’s complicated relationship; it’s also the heart of the loving Winston household.
Audiobook Review: Broken Knight by L.J. Shen
Well hot damn if L.J. Shen doesn’t serve up all the feels with Broken Knight. This childhood friends to lovers tale is complex and downright addictive.
Review: The Guy on the Right by Kate Stewart
This summer I have been leaning towards low drama, feel-good books to read, and The Guy on the Right fits perfectly in that category. It is a sweet friends to lovers romance that left a smile on my face.
Review: Cake by J. Bengtsson
Cake is on the longish side, but I still enjoyed it very much. This is one of those rock star romances where you have enough time to get a true sense of what daily life is like for one of the world’s most famous musicians—from glamorous things such as dealing with mega fans and headlining a European tour, to ordinary things like going to family barbeques and shopping at Target.
Audiobook Review ♥ Jock Rule by Sara Ney
I may not have gone gaga over Jock Rule the way I did with Jock Row, but I was still very entertained. This time we get to party at the rugby house on Jock Row.
Audiobook Review: Pretty Reckless by L.J. Shen
L.J. Shen is a master at dishing out seemingly irredeemable characters that you love to hate and serving them up with massive side of angst. Pretty Reckless kicks off the All Saints High series, which is a spinoff of the wickedly addictive Sinners of Saint series. (Side note: Although these series revolve around high school students, they are definitely on the New Adult side.) Defy readers will remember the scandalous affair between Jaime Followhill and Melody Greene. Daria is their daughter.
Review: Autoboyography by Christina Lauren
Autoboyography is a compulsively readable Young Adult triumph. Maybe I’m just old and jaded, but I tend to shy away from most Young Adult fiction because teen drama frequently seems inconsequential or manufactured to me. This story, however, addresses contemporary concerns that feel genuine in every way.
Review: Top Secret by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy
Imagine my surprise when one of my favorite writing duos unexpectedly released a new Male/Male book. I was pretty freaking excited when this appeared on my Kindle, let me tell you. I’m pleased to say Top Secret does not disappoint. If you are new to the M/M genre and are perhaps hesitant to give it a try, this is the perfect introduction. It’s funny, lighthearted, and sexy without being too graphic.
