For this last week of November, I read two arcs and a novella. Included in this post is my blog review for Pippa Grant's surprise holiday release from earlier this month. I am continuing to streamline my commitments so that I can do more mood reading. I am excited for the coming months and what they will bring. Check out these reviews and add these to your TBR today.
Snowed in With Mr. Heartbreaker (Bro Code #5)
by Pippa Grant
ARC: Release Date- 11/12/2024
#AgeGap #Celebrity #OneBed #SnowedIn #Holiday #Novella #ARC
I actually finished this ARC 11/7/2024 but because it was a surprise release I held my blog review. Then I missed it in my last post. Here it is.
Cash Rivers gets his book!!!!! Written in first person from an alternating
dual POV, this novella can be read as a standalone and ends with HEA.
A new addition to the Bro Code series gives Cash his happy
ending with up-and-coming artist Aspen. Readers who have read other books by
this author will recognize Cash as one of the members of the former Bro Code
boy band and current movie star hot shot. We met Aspen in real Fake Love as a
rising artist and friend of Waverly Sweet.
I loved getting to know both of these characters better. Aspen has some baggage from a less than happy childhood. Cash is a little aimless but has had a huge crush on Aspen (his renter) for over a year. I loved how their relationship was developed. Thei attraction to each other is undeniable. Once they are honest with each other, the mutuality of it makes it obvious that they could have something really good together. Steamy times in a snowed in cabin made this a quick and fun read. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Cash and Aspen as they learn more about each other. I loved Cash’s protectiveness of her and how he treated her so well. This is one holiday read that should not be missed this season.
Forever the Highlands (The Highlands #6)
ARC: Release Date- 12/5/2024
#BrothersBestFriend #FriendsToLovers #Celebrity
#RomanticSuspense #SingleDad #SmallTown #ARC
Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this
ends withs a fantastic HEA. Though Fyfe and Eilidh’s romance is contained in this
book, both characters play important roles, and their story is set up in book
5. In addition, their book contains spoilers for other books in the series so
readers should be aware if that is something they mind or not. Readers should also consider the content
warnings the author offers for all books in this series.
Fyfe is the epitome of the hot nerd hero. I loved him before,
but I really fell in love with him in this book. His childhood trauma affects how easily he
risks his heart. Though he has always cared for Eilidh, he holds himself back
until he finally has an epiphany and then he is all in. Eilidh is a wonderful
character who goes through a lot in this book. It was fun to read as she matured
and read how her relationship with Fyfe develops and changes over several
years. Fyfe’s heart bursts wide open when a baby is left on his doorstep. He realizes his capacity to love and care for
someone else is greater than he ever knew. Eilidh falls hard for the baby girl
and how she is with little Millie is special and moving.
I loved the heat and attraction between Fyfe and Eilidh. I appreciated the author’s guide pronouncing
their names correctly. I adored the
little family they became. I was on the edge of my seat as they face multiple
obstacles on the way to their happy forever. This was the perfect end to this
series. The author even included a bonus epilogue with updates from each couple
in the series. I have enjoyed every book,
and this one was no exception. If you like romantic suspense and steamy romance
set in a love letter to the Scottish Highlands, do not let this series pass you
by.
Kilted All the Way (Kilted Hearts) by Kait Nolan
ARC: Release Date- 12/06/2024
#BWWM #Cowboy #Holiday #OneBed #FriendsToLovers #RoadTrip #Novella #ARC
This fun holiday novella is a spin off from the Kilted
Hearts series and gives readers the HEA for Pippa and Zeke. It is written in
first person from an alternating dual POV, can be read as a standalone, and
ends in a HEA.
I adored the friendship that Pippa and Zeke have formed over
the past 3 years since Zeke’s best friend Raleigh moved to the Scottish Highlands.
I adored the affection and attraction they both secretly shared. I love a one
bed holiday romance, and this one was fab. I especially liked seeing Zeke in
his cowboy element but in Scotland. HOT. I adored the heat between Zeke and
Pippa. This was a wonderful add on to the series. I am excited to see more
glimpses of them in the current Special Ops Scots series set in their village.
Hot & Rowdy (To Tame A Burly Man #1) by Frankie Love
#Cowboy #Virgin #SmallTown #Instalove #Novella
This novella is written in first person from an alternating
dual POV. It can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA.
This was a steamy, low angst read with instant love and no
3rd act breakup. Cash is a hot cowboy who falls hard and fast for Cassidy. She
falls hard and fast right back. These two were made for each other. It was fun
to read a gruff cowboy get his HEA.
