You might think it’s reckless for a single mom to enter into a marriage of convenience with her boss . . .
You would be correct.
To make matters worse, Abel King is a grumpy local brewer with a criminal past. He also happens to be my boss and a total stick-in-the-mud. Every time I come to work with a smile and wave, I’m lucky if I can get a grunt in response.
When I accidentally-on-purpose overhear that he’s having trouble securing a business loan due to his criminal record, I hatch a plan to help the both of us.
The arrangement is perfect—a business transaction and nothing more. Like having a roommate without the hassle of other people bugging you for dates.
I will definitely not be falling in love with him—no matter how many times he says “my wife” and tingles dance in all the right places.
Trouble is, as time goes on, things stop feeling like business and start feeling a whole lot like pleasure . . . and really, that’s just my luck . .



My Review:

ARC: Release Date- 07/15/2024

5 STARS

#MarriageofConvenience #ExCon #GrumpySunshine #SingleMom #Workplace #SmallTown #FamilySeries #ARC

Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this book gives Abel and Sloane their HEA. Though their love story stands alone, this series is better read in order due to underlying plot points that extend throughout the series.

Abel. *sigh* I think he just became one of my favorite “my wife” heroes of all time. He is tough, grumpy, scowly, and growly on the outside while inside he harbors the soft heart of a man who has been hurt and broken. Sloane loves to poke the bear. Working for Abel, she finds joy in being the one to rattle his cage a bit. Their banter is on point. Sloane is fierce and strong and willing to do anything to protect her kids. She is such a good mom. I adore the marriage of convenience trope and this one handles it perfectly. From the proposal forward, I was completely hooked.

I love how they move from boss/employee, to friends, to more in such a natural way. I adored Abel’s protective nature over Sloane and the kids. Speaking of the kids; I loved, loved, loved the relationship Abel formed with them. I really appreciated that Sloane sees Abel for who he truly is and not who he is made out to be. I loved the heat level between them and the meddling family that gives them an opportunity to break through the walls they have keeping them apart. There are underlying suspense plots that run through the series and readers get a little more information in this book. They are also presented with a few new twists. I am very excited to read more of this series, in part because I cannot wait for Karma to catch up with Abel’s father, Russell King. That will be a very happy day for me.

Book reviews for books read May 3rd - May 10th

  Happy weekend!  I read two ARCs this week. They were both very different and both very good. Marika Ray's new book is going to be the perfect summer read. Take it to the lake or the beach and fully enjoy the quirky romance between Maple and Holt. I promise you will adore the meddling seniors along the way. Then I read an arc by a debut author and it knocked  my socks off. When was the last time you got a book hangover from a brand new author? Yeah, it is a rare thing but it happened to me this week.  Check my reviews and add these to your TBR. You wont be sorry. Until next time, happy reading. Anchored by Marika Ray ARC: Release Date- 05/13/2025 #FakeRelationship #ForcedProximity #SmallTown #SecondChance #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. This standalone is written in first person from an alternating dual POV and ends with a HEA. Maple (32) is having a crisis of confidence due to many factors when sh...

Best Reads of 2024

 It is 2025! It feels like 2024 flew by.  This year's "best of" list is a little different.  In part this is due to time constraints and in part due to the fact that some trope categories have a LOT of excellent reads.  I just could not narrow them down to even eight for the graphics. I obviously have my favorite tropes, as this list will tell you. If you don't see a trope here on this list, it may be that I read one and it just wasn't quite a five star read for me. Most of the books I read are either four or five star reads. I have found what I like, and I tend to stick to it. You can search the labels on the main page of my blog or search in the general search bar to pull up books from another category and read my reviews. If a book is on this list, it was a five star read for me. That means I loved it, I found no major flaws in timeline, editing, or characters, and I would want to read it again. The links I am including are for Amazon out of ease, but several o...

Book reviews for books read May 11th-25th

  I read three ARCs and 2 books from my TBR in the last 2 weeks. I feel good about that considering that life at home has been pretty full lately. May has been an excellent reading month for me. There are so many good releases right now, it is impossible for me to keep up. These are all worth adding to your TBR. Check my reviews and add them to your list. Until next time, happy reading. Built To Last (Park Avenue Promise #3) by Lexi Blake ARC: Release Date- 05/27/2025 #EnemiesToLovers #Celebrity #Workplace  #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. This is the third book in the series, and it is written in first person from Harper’s POV. This book is driven heavily by dialogue, and I personally did not miss having the male POV. Though it fully contains the love story of Harper and Reid, I think readers will gain the most value from reading this series in order. The friendship and found family relationship between Ivy, ...
