Blurb:

Jeremy Dillion—a.k.a. Knox—has no intention of succumbing to wedded bliss. Gag, no. His parents divorced when he was young and the only stability in his life comes from his bandmates. But now they’re finding their own forever sweethearts, and Knox is feeling the heat of being a lone wolf in a group effort. Still, an actual relationship? No. Ick.

 

Irina Carmichael is ready for her big break. The problem is no one takes a second look at her, since she doesn’t fit into the general mold created for Hollywood starlets. Her hips are too big, her nose is too sharp, and her lips are too wide. But she’s so ready to step out of the background and into the spotlight.

 

When Knox gets trashed in the tabloids, his publicist pitches the idea of an image-saving marriage to Irina. Irina figures the publicity can't hurt and accepts—until the offers for major roles start pouring in, and she doesn’t need the arrangement. Unfortunately, Knox has broken the first rule of marrying an actress for publicity: don’t fall in love. But can he handle a real relationship? And is she ready to stop pretending?

My Review:

#RockStar #FakeRelationship #FriendsToLovers #ARC

5 STARS

Book three in the series of interconnected standalones, this book can be read by itself and ends with a HEA.  It is written in third person from a dual perspective.

Irina needs her big break in the acting world.  Knox needs a relationship so the tabloids stop painting him as a not-so-nice player.  When Irina’s best friend, Courtney, suggests they have a marriage of convenience to solve both their problems, they agree.  Afterall, they get along well and are friends. Neither one expects that their relationship will become more than platonic.  Neither one of them is looking for forever: nor are they sure forever can be a thing at all.  It seems like the perfect solution.

I love the way their friendship allows them to support each other even before love enters the picture.  When they decide to make their marriage “real” for as long as it lasts, there is a whole lot of heat between them.  (Prepare for your kindle to be steamed up.)  I love that they like each other as people and respect and support each other’s dreams. I love how they defend each other against outside forces, like Knox’s mother.  I adore the fact that they communicate about their relationship and the compromises they need to make to succeed with their busy careers.  There is nothing better than a rock star who ends up besotted with a woman after not believing that could happen.  That it is a mutual besottedness brings all the feels to the story.  I could feel how much they missed each other when they were apart.  The ending is perfect, and I really liked the fact that their hurdle was not something contrived to keep them apart.  They have a supportive found family of friends that are important to their story, and I adored that.

There are laughs, a wedding that is anything but traditional, lots of heat, and a real emotional connection that with make you swoon.  I 100% enjoyed and recommend this latest installment of the Mile High Rocked series.  I can’t wait for Tanner to find love next.

A Tale of Three Signings (Spring 2024 book signing recap)

  Over the past seven weeks I attended three book signings, each two weeks apart, I started at the Sweetgrass Author Event in Charleston, SC. From there I visited some family in West Virginia and Pennsylvania before my oldest daughter and I traveled to Ellicott City, MD, for Charm City Romanticon. After that, I returned home to Colorado before driving to Aurora for Readers Take Denver, where I was assisting Sara Madderson/Elodie Hart and also had a reader ticket. Below I will share some pictures and a recap of each signing as it was for me.  Sweetgrass was the fifth signing event I have attended that was put on by Southern Belles. It was also undoubtably the largest. With a stellar author lineup, there were a lot of tickets sold. In my opinion, probably too many. For a six hour signing, I was able to get to a shockingly few authors in my time there. They hit a few snags with this one.  First, let me talk about the city of Charleston.  Rich in history, with out of this world southern cu

Best Reads of 2023

 2023 has come to an end and  as a result I have had some time to look back on my best reads from last year.  It is always fun to remember the fantastic books I read.  I love thinking about the worlds the authors created for my escape and enjoyment.  I also am able to see where I had some gaps in my reading.  I read most sub-genres and tropes, but I did not read a single fantasy romance last year.  That made me sad.  I will need to fix that in 2024.  My reading is typically on the lighter side of the spectrum.  Dark romance readers will only find a couple of books in that category here.  Most of my reads are also steamy, with open door scenes that are sometimes explicit and appropriate for mature readers.  My reviews are available on the blog if you need more details about what I liked about a book.  Also, I am including Amazon links to the books so you can read the blurb and decide for yourself if you think my favorite reads are books you might enjoy. Looking at the numbers at the end

Book reviews from the week of May 19th

  Happy weekend. This week I read three ARCs and two books from my TBR.  All three ARCs will release the first week of June and the two books on my TBR have been on my kindle for a while. They served as perfect palette cleansers between these wonderful ARCs. Both books from my TBR offered heroines with disability. In The Marquess and I, Willow is blind. In Wolf Signs, the heroine is deaf. I felt like the authors handled both situations well within their stories and it made them interesting reads. Check out my reviews and add these to your TBR today if they grab you. I don't think you will regret it. Happy reading! My Royal Showmance (Park Avenue Promise #2)  by Lexi Blake ARC: Release Date- 06/04/2024 #Royal #SecretRomance #ARC Book two in the series is written in first person from Anika’s POV and ends in a HEA. It can be read as a standalone. If you love reality dating shows like The Bachelor, you are going to love this book. Luca, King of Ravalia, is looking for a queen (
