Matchmaking a Roommate (Highland Hills #4) by Angela R. Casella, Denise Grover Swank

 Matchmaking a Roommate

(Highland Hills #4)

by Angela R. Casella, Denise Grover Swank


He's her next makeover project. She's his next mistake. Ivy I'm Ivy Anders, popular romance novelist and small-town success story. Or so they say. I tell myself I'm only back in my hometown because my father had a heart attack, but that's not the full story. I can't go home. And the longer I stay, the less I want to. I'm drawn in by my part-time job at Ziggy brewery, which I took to research for my next book, and by the mystery of Lou, my father's stuffy lodger, a temporary transplant from New York. Normally, I wouldn't look twice at someone like Lou. He's a rules guy, and l've never met a rule I didn't want to break just for the fun of it. But it's obvious he needs an intervention to avoid becoming an old man at thirty-four, and I am going to make that happen. Lou I came to Highland Hills to hide.

It's not every day a man loses his professional integrity, his fiancee, and his pet fish all in the same week. The last thing I want is for smoking hot Ivy Anders to get it into her head that I should be her project. But she has, and it's hard as hell to say no to her. Believe me, l've tried. The more time we spend together, the more I realize that I have another problem on my hands: Ivy's everything l'm not-young and wild and free--and she's all I can think about.

A Shoe Story By- Jane L. Rosen


 A Shoe Story


Jane L. Rosen


Esme Nash is eager to leave her small town and begin her carefully planned post-grad life: a move to New York City, an apartment with her loving college boyfriend, and a fancy job at an art gallery. But when tragedy strikes, instead of heading to Manhattan, she returns home to care for her ailing father, leaving every bit of her dream behind.

 

Seven trying years later, Esme is offered a dog-sitting job in Greenwich Village by a mysterious stranger, giving her access to all of her long-buried hopes and dreams—as well as to an epic collection of designer shoes. Esme jumps at a second chance to step into the future she's sure was meant to be hers.

 

As she retraces her steps, one pair of borrowed shoes at a time, making new friends and reconnecting with her old love, Esme tries on versions of herself she didn’t know existed. But the hazy August days and warm summer nights pass too quickly, and Esme must decide how much of the life she imagined still fits, and what—and who—is on the road ahead of her.


My Review Minus Spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BY ME!!πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸŽ§πŸ“š


I listened to this via Audio though the Libby app. This Book was honestly what I needed. I loved the journey of Esme. I loved her character so so much. I laughed, I cried, the shoes… Perfection. It took place with my favorite place to visit, NYC. Esme’s Journey was like a journey for me too. I loved who she interacted with ( I will not give it away.) I  loved that she was a dog sitter and her journey on self determination, discovery and working on trying to overcome heartbreak. This is my second book by the author and I was blown away by this story. It’s a Gem. I felt like it was. The characters will stay with me especially two that I will not say who made me a blubbering mess. Great Read.

Pretty Little Tease (Pretty Obsessions Book 1) By AJ Merlin

 



Pretty Little Tease (Pretty Obsessions Book 1)

By AJ Merlin 


It’s a harmless way for a college student to make extra money… until it isn’t.

I’m careful not to show my face, so why do I feel like I’m being watched when the camera turns off?

No one should know who I am or be able to find me, but they do, and things quickly spiral out of control.

The two unhinged men who fill my cam chat with all the deplorable things they want to do to me are closer than I think. To them I’m just a pretty little tease, and their obsession turns into something so much more than I bargain for.

I should have run away when they found me, because now it’s too late for me to be anything except theirs.

Pretty Little Tease is a full length dark romance novel where the heroine never has to choose between her two men. Pretty Little Tease is the first book of the Pretty Obsessions series. It includes MMF, MFM, MM, and mature content. To see a full list of possible triggers, use the look inside feature of the book.

Filthy Disciple: The Disciples & Five Points' Mob Collection Crossover


Cassandra Robbins

Serena Akeroyd 


She was an assignment.

A selfish brat who'd run away from home and who’d found refuge in an MC.

A spoiled pain in my ass that I had to bring back to Daddy.

Only, Isabelle is nothing like the picture my initial research painted. Yes, she's a brat. Yes, she's insecure. And yes, she's a Disciple…sort of.

But she's so much more than that. So broken, yet so hopeful.

So lost, yet so eager to be found.

I found her.

But that means her father has too. Taking her home was supposed to repay a favor owed.

I just didn't realize that home was the most dangerous place in the world for her...

Love, Pamela by Pamela Anderson


 Love, Pamela

By Pamela Anderson 


The actress, activist, and once infamous Playboy Playmate reclaims the narrative of her life in a memoir that defies expectation in both content and approach, blending searing prose with snippets of original poetry.

In this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mold of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her.

Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy’s favorite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own life—and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are?

Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unprepared parents, Pamela Anderson’s childhood was not easy, but it allowed her to create her own world—surrounded by nature and imaginary friends. When she overcame her deep shyness and grew into herself, she fell into a life on the cover of magazines, the beaches of Malibu, the sets of movies and talk shows, the arms of rockstars, the coveted scene at the Playboy Mansion. And as her star rose, she found herself tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on capturing a celebrity’s most intimate, and sometimes weakest moments. This is when Pamela Anderson lost control of her own narrative, hurt by the media and fearful of the public’s perception of who she was…and who she wasn’t.

Fighting back with a sense of grace, fueled by a love of art and literature, and driven by a devotion to her children and the causes she cares about most, Pamela Anderson has now gone back to the island where she grew up, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, reclaiming her free spirit but also standing firm as a strong, creative, confident woman. 


Now MY Review minus spoliers 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.πŸ’«


I have to say that this memoir came up as a book I might enjoy. I will be honest, I was kind of skeptical. In all honesty, it turned out to be a very productive and great read about the life of Pamela Anderson. I will say that I’ve had my own personal thoughts about her through the years but reading this book has made me change certain thoughts about her. I will definitely say that I admire her devotion to her two grown sons, being the type of mother that she wanted to be for her children and her activism towards animals. I think everybody knows the type of lifestyle she lead and she was pretty much honest. That’s my opinion with this memoir. I was able to get this book pretty quick through the Libby app and listen to it via audio and I prefer listening to a lot of memoirs this way, so you can hear the author in their own words. Tell their story. I can remember watching her back in the day on Baywatch. Yes, I did watch that lol. I also knew she was a playboy playmate in about her various relationships. It seems that this stage of her life is she is at peace, and I wish her nothing but success in Great Health in the future and appreciate her, sharing her story with the reader.

Before Us Jewel E. Ann

 I never saw him coming.


I didn’t know what would happen after my client found me sleeping in my car.

I’d been cleaning his house as his wife was dying.

I didn’t expect them to invite me to live with them.

I didn’t expect Suzie to become my lifeline—until she was gone.


I didn’t expect him to ask me to marry him when he found out I needed medical insurance.


I didn’t expect to fall in love with a grieving man.


There are so many reasons to keep my distance from Zach. Every tender moment secreted away.


When we’re not together, I miss the man I call husband.

Does he miss his wife? If so, which one?


Now my Review Without SpoilersπŸ‘‡πŸΌ

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by ME!πŸ’›πŸ’›


This is my very first Jewel E. Ann book that I read. (I’m currently reading another one and am loving her writing.) This story was a rollercoaster of emotions. It has all the feels & I could not put it down. I kept telling myself just one more chapter and I’d end up reading a lot longer. I don not regret it. This book was just so good. I enjoyed the characters of Zach & Emersyn & Suzie. These characters will be with me for awhile. Like I stated it gives you all the feels, tears and yes I cried it was beautiful, a beautiful & touching story by an Author I am so glad I discovered.
