Cheat Sheet Sarah Adams

 The friend zone is not the end zone for Bree Camden, who is helplessly in love with her longtime best friend and extremely hot NFL legend, Nathan Donelson. The only problem is that she can’t admit her true feelings, because he clearly sees her as a best friend with no romantic potential, and the last thing Bree wants is to ruin their relationship. But those abs . . .


Nope! Nothing but good old-fashioned, no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive, platonic friendship for Bree. In any case, she has other things to worry about. After a car accident ended her chance at becoming a professional ballerina, Bree changed paths and now owns her own dance studio, with big dreams to expand it. But one more rent increase could mean the end of the studio entirely.


Then, as usual, Nathan comes to the rescue and buys the entire building. A stubborn Bree is not happy about it and decides to rebel with a couple—okay, maybe more than a couple—of tequila shots. Then her plan backfires as she spills her deepest, darkest secret to a TMZ reporter. One viral video later, the world thinks Nathan and Bree are the perfect couple. Before they can really talk about her confession, Nathan’s publicist proposes a big opportunity that could mean financial security for Bree. The catch? They have to pretend to be in love. For three whole weeks.


What will happen when Bree gives in to the feelings she’s been desperately hiding for so long, and could she be imagining that Nathan is actually enjoying it? Sarah Adams scores more than touchdowns in this exciting romantic comedy.

Love Me Today: A Single Dad, Small Town Romance (Time River) A.L. Jackson

 A jaded single dad. A woman returning to her small-town roots. Neither was prepared for their paths to collide…


I should have known I was in trouble when I backed my old, beat-up truck into the shiny Range Rover.

The driver looked like a gorgeous fallen angel – one who’d been booted right out of paradise for being a giant prick.

Good thing I’ll never have to see him again.

Except when I show up for my new job to teach a little girl how to ride her horse, I find the same icy blue eyes glaring back at me.


Paisley Dae is completely reckless. She’s also the best trainer in this small town. And Evelyn gets the best.

Protecting the little girl is my one focus.

Only the sassy trainer in her cut-offs and cowgirl boots quickly gets under my skin. Distractions are dangerous, but she soon becomes everything I crave.


One reckless night of giving in, and Caleb and I spiral into a web of passion.

But when I begin to unravel the secrets hiding in this place, I find there is more riding on this job than I thought.

Caleb and Evelyn are worth any sacrifice – only Caleb has to decide what he will sacrifice for me…

I'll Always Be With You (Lancaster Prep) Monica Murphy




 Weston Fontaine is the hottest senior at Lancaster Prep.

And he knows it.

He’s gorgeous. Confident. Smart.

Too smart.

Everyone loves him. He could have any girl on campus, except for one.

Me.

I’m a Lancaster, meaning I’m basically untouchable–or so I thought. It’s my family who owns this God forsaken private school that I don’t want to attend. But according to my parents, I have to endure my senior year at Lancaster Prep before I can return to what I love the most: ballet.

West doesn’t make my time here easy. He’s arrogant. Crude. Insufferable. He torments me in the worst way, to the point that I can’t stand him. Yet he’s the only boy I’ve ever let touch me…

You see, West and I? We share a secret. On a hot summer night in Paris, we hooked up. And I never do that. Ever. I revealed parts of myself to him I’ve never shown anyone else. He’s seen me at my most vulnerable. I told him my secrets. And he told me his. In Paris, he was sexy. Protective. Even dare I say…sweet.

Now he’s the villain in my story, yet I can’t help but chase after that feeling only West can give me. Despite our hatred for each other, we somehow burn brighter when we’re together. So what happens when you helplessly fall for the one person you know is bad for you?

If you’re like me, you go ahead and fall for him anyway.


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me. My review without spoilers 👇🏼🩷🩷🩷🩷

Under the Stars: A Small Town, Age Gap, Billionaire Romance Book 2 of 5: Cottonwood Cove Series Laura Pavlov

 My new assistant is all smiles and sunshine—and she’s about to set fire to my cold, grumpy heart.


I've moved to this god-forsaken small town to run the family business.

I need to hire a new PA and the pickings are slim.

Some say my irrational expectations are the reason I've gone through assistants quicker than most people refill their coffee.

Incompetence is my pet peeve.

If that makes me irrational, so be it.

Then Georgia Reynolds walks into my office.

Blonde hair.

Sapphire eyes.

And a smart mouth that irritates me as much as it turns me on.

On top of being a rockstar at her job, she is a ray of freaking sunshine on steroids.

I have no patience for it.

Nor for the way she flutters around the office like a modern-day Tinkerbell.

She has ridiculous taste in music.

Drives an unreasonable form of transportation.

And did I mention that I caught her dancing in my closet when I sent her on a simple errand?

My new assistant has somehow become my kryptonite.

But I am her boss, and I am not going to be a pathetic cliché.

It doesn’t matter that my cold, jaded heart has started beating again.

In my world, a beating heart makes you weak.

And I do not tolerate weaknesses.


**This is book 2 in the Cottonwood Cove Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

Resist By Ava Harrison (Grumpy Enemies-to-Lovers Romance)

 He’s the hotshot agent who hates my guts.

I’m the (almost) one-night stand turned business rival.


Imagine my surprise when Paxton Ramsey shows up across the boardroom table.

Gone is the sexy smirk, replaced by open hostility with a side of taunting.


His overbearing, grumpy attitude makes my blood boil.

But I can’t forget the taste of our kiss. The thrill of his touch.


Our clients expect us to work together.

I can’t even stand being in the same zip code.


Surely, I can survive one week trapped on an island with my nemesis?

Until one week turns into two. Then three. Then four.


When he flaunts his power to make my career dreams come true…

It takes everything in me not to ruin his.


Paxton Ramsey thinks he’ll be the death of me.

But I just might teach him how to live in the process.


My Review 👇🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by ME!🥰

I absolutely enjoyed the story of Mallory & Paxton. It has me intrigued from the first page to the very last. I didn’t want this story to end. It had just enough steam and spice. These are two characters that will stay with me for quite sometime.

Along Came Charlie S.L. Scott




 New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author S.L. Scott brings the charm and romance, smiles and laughs to Along Came Charlie. This friends-to-more novel is packed with heartfelt emotion reminiscent of the best chick lit of the past with a modern twist for today's readers.

I'll be your date, and you'll be mine.

Who says a funeral can't be romantic?
Okay, everyone. Including myself.
That doesn't stop the rumor mill from turning when I show up with a beautiful redhead on my arm.

That redhead also just happens to be a stranger, relatively speaking. Charlotte Barrow and I have run into each other a few times-on the subway, at a bar, and now on our way to separate funerals. Instead of the prodigal son who let his parents down showing up alone, I traded favors and brought a date. The deal made sense at the time.

You be my date, and I'll be yours.

Who knew bringing a date to your ex-fiancé's funeral would cause such a stir?
Technically, I did.
I invited him anyway for moral support. It didn't hurt that he was handsome.

The cold-hearted stares that greeted us didn't matter. We found comfort in each other and formed a friendship from there. Charles Adams was nothing like my ex. The pressure wasn't there to be anyone other than who I was. He also loved my cupcakes as much as I enjoyed his company.

I always dreamed of finding my soul mate, and then along came Charlie. My perfect match was right here all along. Did I realize it too late?

A guaranteed happy ending that will have you smiling and swooning as you fall in love along with the characters. Originally called Naturally, Charlie.


My Review Minus Spoilers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by ME!!


I really enjoyed the characters of Charlie A & Charlie B. I enjoyed the dual POV in this story. It had all the feels for this reader. I laughed, and even got emotional at parts throughout the book. The characters had me invested from page one till the very end. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and its characters and the storyline.

Rewrite Our Story: A Small Town Best Friend's Brother Second Chance Romance (Sutten Mountain) Part of: Sutten Mountain (2 books) Kat Singleton

 Cade Jennings was always there for me when I needed him—until he wasn’t.

I’d spent my entire life loving my best friend’s older brother. Every single one of my birthday wishes was spent hoping Cade would finally notice me.

And then one day, he did.

But not all love stories have happy endings.

It's been years since I left the small town of Sutten Mountain devastated and heartbroken. I’d used the pain to fuel a bestselling novel that solidified I’d never have to return.

Until tragedy struck, forcing me to face the man who shattered my heart.

I thought I’d be strong enough to see him again. I didn’t expect the angry, broken man staring back at me.

But the more time we spend around each other, the more I see glimpses of the man I fell in love with. His touch still owns me. His kiss still brands me. And even after all this time, the feelings I have for him still consume me.

Cade and I are unfinished business, and this time, he’s not letting me leave until we rewrite our story.

From the author of Black Ties and White Lies comes an all new series of complete standalones set in Sutten Mountain. Rewrite Our Story, the first book in the series, is a steamy, second chance, best friend's brother romance.


My Review. My thoughts.👇🏼

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by ME!! 


What a beautifully written story. It had all the feels. This is a small town/second romance book that does not disappoint. I laughed and I cried. I connected with Cade & Mare from the first page. These characters will definitely stick with me for quite awhile. Such a beautiful story that you do not want to end and has you rooting for Mare & Cade from page one.

My Review, My Thoughts.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Star Read 


What can I say about this book? It was fantastic, fabulous, a great steamy and spicy read. I throughly loved reading Lance & Skylars Story. I was hooked from the first page to the very last chapter. I won’t give spoilers but these two are some of the best characters I read in a book. I had moments where I was laughing so hard I had to reread the chapter! Spicy and steamy is this book. The chemistry between Skylar & Lance you could definitely tell as the reader was off the charts. Im so glad I found AK Landow and her books. She’s definitely an author you will want to check out & but her books like I have. This story, these two characters will definitely stick with me. What a ride, and what a read.
