Happy weekend! This week I read two ARCs and a novella. The ARCs were both wonderful. The novella was a quick read that was a pleasant surprise. I am traveling and visiting with family right now, so that has been my priority this week. Hug your loved ones. Read books that make you happy. Live the life you have. I hope my reviews give you some insight into these reads that brightened my week and build your TBR. Until next time, happy reading.

4.5 STARS
Book four in the series can be read as a standalone and ends
with a HEA. It is written in first
person from an alternating dual POV.
I have been waiting for Logan’s story. I am so happy for him to finally have his
HEA. And after everything he has been
thorough, I was thrilled that it was a low angst read for him to have his happy
ending with Audrey.
I loved getting to know Logan better. Audrey is also a driven athlete recovering
from an injury. They have a history and a
deep understanding of one another. Once
the confusion about their previous break up is cleared away, they can only move
forward on the feelings they both continued to have. This was a fairly quick read, but it felt
complete. There is plenty of heat and
all the feels. The only thing I felt was
missing was a more detailed timeline of when their relationship took place and
how long they were actually apart. We
know Audrey is 35 when this book takes place and I struggled to try to remember
how old Logan would be at this point. (Maybe 30 or 32?) That said, there was a lot to love. I love the competitiveness between Audrey and
Logan. I love how they support each
other in achieving their dreams. I love
the friendships they share with other athletes.
And of course, Logan’s family is always a joy. The sibling banter was wonderful.
This was a wonderful way to wrap this series that was full
of characters to remember.

Book three of the Sullivan family series can be read as a
standalone and ends as a HEA. There is
an underlying mystery that is running across the series regarding the rivalry
between the Sullivan and King families.
Readers may want to read the series in suggested order to avoid
spoilers. It is written in first person
from an alternating dual POV.
Playboy Lee finally gets his happy ending with Annie. She has been his best friend for years. When
they both admit their feelings, there are not just sparks but flames involved. Lee is a complex character who has buried his
pain and guilt under a happy-go-lucky outward appearance. One of the few people who really know him,
and his internal angst, is Annie. Annie
has been there to clean up a lot of Lee’s messes over the years. She would rather have only his friendship if
allowing her true feelings means she loses the only family she has ever really
known. I loved both characters. They are layered with hurt, trust,
friendship, and fear of the unknown. In the process of trying to do the right
thing, they have stayed apart when they could have been together all along.
They have a lot of heat between them. In part, this is due to the trust and
friendship that already exists before they move to that level. Lee is a seriously dirty talker. Annie was all-in for that and so was I. Break out the fan, because these two can’t
keep their hands off each other once they allow themselves the right to touch each
other in that way.
Outtatowner is a wonderful small town full of all the fun
shenanigans one would expect. The
Sullivan family is finding their feet and their happy endings. It feels like every book by this author just
gets better and I am seriously excited to see what happens next.
