My Review:

4.5 STARS

This debut novella is a quick holiday read. Cassidy and Devon work at the same law firm in London.  They do not realize that they are each carrying the cutest crush for each other until weather and circumstances put them together for a road trip.

This book reads very Love Actually as there is heat, humor, romance, and awkward situations.   Cassidy is confident at times and a complete mess at others.  Devon is smart, uber-attractive, and all-muscle with a kind heart.  He falls hard and fast for Cassidy and I adored his possessiveness and need to look after her.  There is lots of British snark and sass in their banter.  I liked the characters and felt like they were well-developed given the short novella length of the book.

This novella is written in first person from a dual POV.  Though this is the author’s debut, I felt the writing was excellent, the pacing was good, and I am certainly looking forward to future books by her.  I recommend this if you want a quick and sassy holiday read.

When she is not coordinating her worlds, you can find her soaking in a bubbly bath or enjoying a glass of wine, often still with a book in her hand.

Book reviews for books read June 1st-14th

  Happy weekend!  It has been a busy couple of weeks but I managed to read 6 books. Two ARCs, and four books from my TBR. I have been working on reading the backlist of Swati M.H., and managed to read all but one of her books prior to assisting her at the HEA Reader Event in Indianapolis on June 7th. Then I joyfully read two ARCs, both over 400 pages. Then I needed something a little different. I needed to break away from traditional, contemporary romance and was able to fit in a paranormal rom com and a monster romance. Now I am back to ARCs.  There are so many good books to read. I am exceedingly grateful to the authors who have written and are writing books that suck me into their imaginary worlds. Thank you authors for giving me a way to escape reality for a little while and guaranteeing me that happy ending. Till next time, happy reading.

Book reviews for books read September 21st-30th

  This review post is late due to a family emergency that happened about ten days ago now. I feel like I am finally getting my self together a little bit today and was able to put this together finally. During the last week of the month, I read one ARC, one book for book club, and three smutty novellas. Check out my reviews and add so books to your TBR today. My month in review. September turned out to be a good reading month for me. Most of the ARCs that I read that released in September, I actually read in August. That freed up some time to read from my TBR and finish two reading challenges. During the last week of the month, I finished the A to Z reading challenge. Earlier this month, I completed the B.A.N.G. Book Club reading challenge. I also took this as an opportunity to read new-to-me authors and fit in several novellas. Out of the 23 books I read and the 2 I did not finish, I read 19 new-to-me authors! That has to be a record for me. There is a place for smutty insta-love ...

Book reviews for books read May 26th-31st

  I can't believe it is June already! This last week of May I found myself binging a series by Swati M.H. I have made working on author backlists one of my goals this year. Next weekend I will be assisting this wonderful lady at the HEA Reader event. In an effort to finish reading the books in her backlist I grabbed this series from Kindle Unlimited. And then I didn't want to stop. I will be doing a series spotlight in a few days when I get my thoughts together. In the meantime, check out my reviews. Then add this whole series to your kindle and read it. I promise, you won't be sorry. Until next time, happy reading! My Beautiful Chaos (Feel the Beat #2) by Swati M.H. #FakeRelationship #SecondChance #FriendsToLovers Yes, no, maybe so? Make it a definite “Yes”. Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this book stands on its own and ends with a HEA. After meeting both Jeena and Wayland in book one of this series, I was really looking forward to their stor...
