Book reviews for April 1st through April 8th

 


I am still recovering from traveling the past few weeks.  I was able to catch up on ARCs that released this week.  They were both fantastic!  I swear I will have more than reviews coming soon.  I have a night shift and another trip this weekend before I can truly relax and catch up.  I hope everyone enjoys these two new releases while I do that.  Happy reading!


Over My Brother's Dead Body, Chase Andrews 

(Kingsmen Football Stars #3) by Piper Rayne

ARC: Release Date- 04/04/2023

#Sports #BrothersBestFriend #GrumpySunshine #ARC

5 STARS

Book three in the Kingsmen series can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA.  It is written in first person from an alternating dual POV.

Chase is one of my favorite kinds of heroes.  He is huge, growly, and grumpy but he has a soft marshmallow heart.  Twyla is the petite sister to Miles.  She moves to San Francisco for a break after her engagement falls apart in Connecticut.  She mourns the future she had planned until she is able to see the possibility of a better future she never imagined.

I adored Chase.  He is immediately torn about his feelings for Twyla.  He has never had a relationship and is a little clueless, which is adorable.  Twyla can’t help her emotions becoming involved with Chase.  She is s a romantic soul anyway.  When he makes her feel cared for and safe, she has no choice but fall for his insanely hot muscles.  I loved their friendship.  I adored how he opens up to Twyla and wants to tell her things he never talks about with anyone else.  I love the cat and how that relationship also gives Chase something he didn’t know he needed.  The chemistry between the characters is hot and results in hot physical scenes.  When they make love for the first time together (when they accept there is more) is truly beautiful.

I have loved all the books in this series, but Chase is by far my favorite hero.  I loved him.



The Tryst (The Virgin Society #2) by Lauren Blakely

ARC: Release Date- 04/05/2023

5 STARS

Book two in this series can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA.  It is written in first person from an alternating dual POV.

Nick (38) is a successful businessman. His company focuses on investing in tech companies.  He is divorced with a 21-year-old son.  Layla (23) recently graduated with her MBA and is looking for promotional and marketing support for her app that she developed in college. When she sees Nick, she knows she wants him and decides to go after him.

I absolutely loved Nick.  I adored how fast and hard he falls for Layla.  They are perfect for each other.  I love their chemistry.  I love how they support each other.  I love their hot physical and emotional times together.  I really like how they grow together.  It was tough to put this book down for life events.  Layla is bold, intelligent, and fierce.  She is absolutely one of my favorite heroines this year so far.   I love her ability to go after what she wants at a young age.  I love the way she can communicate with the people she loves. I adore the way she is with Nick.  Yum.  Yum. Yum.

I am hooked.  I missed book one of this series, but you can bet I will be going back to read it.

Book reviews from the week of January 8th

  Happy weekend fellow readers!  I had an AMAZING week reading.  I read three ARCs, a prequel to a new series and one of the ARCs, a book on my TBR, and a newly released memoir.   Kait Nolan's new series Kilted Hearts is set in a small Scottish village and I am 100% hooked on how this is going to play out. I need the whole series now.  Carly Phillips is getting ready to release a short follow-up to Just One Spark.  I love seeing Cassidy and Dash work on their marriage and compromise for more happiness.  Melanie Moreland released The Watcher while I was on vacation last fall.  It has been patiently waiting on my kindle for me to get back to it. And now that I have I need to say WOW! Damien is everything I needed him to be.  Following that up with an ARC of the final book in the series, I then fell head over heels for Egan and his romantic soul.  Finally, I spent 2 days reading Prince Harry's newly released memoir.  I had a lot o...

Book reviews from the week of June 7th

  The weekend is almost over as I type this but this is me running behind this week. What a week it has been! I have worked a lot at the job, the hubby had surgery, and we celebrated both my 33rd wedding anniversary and Father's Day.  I read one ARC, two books from my TBR, and one new-to-me author. I have found that after I read a really good book I need to read something a little different to get over the book hangover. That happened twice this week. After I finished the Harlow James ARC, I read an escort book by Leigh James that has been on my kindle for ages. After I read Lyndsey Gallagher's newest release, I started Escort Training which I think I picked up free a while back. That led me down a rabbit hole to reading the whole series. I have decided to review that whole series together as opposed to reviewing each book individually as they are really one story on three stages. It was a fabulous variety of reads this week and now I need to get serious and get back to ARCs. ...

Book reviews for books read January 1st-10th

  Happy weekend and Happy 2025! I am starting the year strong. I have read 3 ARCs, 1 full-length novel, and 3 more novellas so far this year. The 3 ARCs were all fun reads, the next book in the Boston Billionaire Bachelors series was a fun ride, and the three monster novellas were still an enjoyable escape from reality.  I am traveling unexpectedly this month after my dad was hospitalized.  I will spend the next week in West Virginia helping my brother and helping my dad get some strength back before I return home. I am hopeful that means some dedicated reading time while I am here since there is no shortage of snow. Until next week, happy reading.
