Ensley is a fierce event planner with her business partner.  She does something unusual for her when she hooks up with a man at a masquerade ball she planned, but the masks stayed on.  I love how this story comes together.  The mystery of the masks at a masquerade, the undeniable attraction they feel toward each other whenever they are together is just magic.  The HEA is super sweet and steamy.  This was a fast, fun read that is perfect for Fall. Blurb: New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Heidi McLaughlin and L.P. Dover come together for a sexy new series that delivers romance f

Take A Number (Wait With Me #4) by Amy Daws (ARC) #FakeRelationship #RomanticComedy 5 STARS Dean and Norah decide to embark on a fake relationship to get everyone off their backs about settling down, only to find out that real feelings get involved along the way. This is written in first person from a dual POV. I really loved finally getting inside Dean’s head after getting to know him a little in the other books. He is a man of amazing accomplishment, exquisite dress, and unquestionable manliness. He has been a man-whore player but his determination to never have a real relationship is challenged by Norah. Though she is not looking for a relationship either, she cannot deny the chemistry and heat between her and Dean. He brings her out of her shell and encourages her to have some fun. There are funny moments. There are touching moments as they open up to each other and share their insecurities and fears. The heat level between them is super-hot. And their HEA is incredibly sweet.
