Julia Jarrett One Night To Win You: A steamy one night stand, small town romance (The Donnellys of Dogwood Cove) Book 6 of 6: The Donnellys of Dogwood Cove

 

 She needs a one-night stand, and I'm just the man to fulfill her hot firefighter fantasy.

A few hours of mutual pleasure, and then I’ll never see Tori Charles again, because one night is all I ever do.

No strings, no commitments and definitely no repeats.

But two months later, the single mom I can't seem to forget moves to my small town.

I know I need to keep my distance. Tori and her son Cooper deserve a forever kind of guy, and I'm more love 'em and leave 'em.

But this woman has gotten under my skin.

She's irresistible, even though I'm a committed bachelor.

What harm could a secret-friends-with-benefits arrangement really be?


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by this Reader. Spoiler Free Review, & my thoughts. 


The Author did it again. What a great story. I have come to really love her writing. This story did not disappoint this reader. I really enjoyed reading about Sawyer & Tori. The chemistry between them was fun to read about. This is a romance story at its finest. It was a roller coaster of emotions. I enjoyed the friendly banter between Tori & Sawyer. It was just a wonderful read. I cannot wait to read more books from this Author in the near future. I will say this again as a reader, I really loved this story. 


Aimee Rivkin Expanded Roster: A Why Choose Sports Romance

 

A good girl who needs the money, two members of the college baseball team she works for—and her jerk ex-stepbrother—get down for the cameras in this steamy, angsty why choose romance.

In retrospect, putting up a flier advertising that I was planning to lose my v-card on camera—and was looking for a partner—isn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. I’m the Type A one, the person who does all the work on the group project. I’ve never even thought about doing something like this, but I don’t have a choice: I need fast cash so my sister can have the future she deserves.

No one even answers my ad until I’m sitting at an off-campus café, looking over the questions I prepared like this is a job interview—

And he shows up.

I can’t do this. We shouldn’t do this. He’s on the college baseball team that I work for. I could lose my job. He could get cut from the team.

We shouldn’t do this…until we do. And we definitely shouldn’t get his best friend—who might have a crush on me, who might have a crush on him—involved. Or my ex-stepbrother, who’s threatening to take custody of my sister.

And I shouldn’t get involved with them all at once. Suddenly, I’m involved in a group project of an entirely different kind, one that definitely can’t last. I said yes on camera—a lot of yes—but do I have the courage to say yes to my happily ever after?


My Review, thoughts, & no spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by ME!!

I enjoyed reading about the characters of Mike & Victoria & the other characters in the story. It definitely held my interest as the reader. I enjoyed this one & look forward to the Authors next book.

Jenni Bara Mother Maker Book 2 of 4: The Momcoms

 

 All I want is one night.


One night away from the falling down brownstone filled with my three best friends, a broody billionaire, and our seven children. Oh, and you can’t forget those adorable raccoons.


But the universe apparently has other ideas because I get drunk and sleep with the baseball player.

Now two little lines turn my escape into a completely new adventure. But we’re just going to co-parent not get into anything serious.


No matter how many times I tell Cortney Miller, who is now sharing my bed and watching my every move, that we’re not meant to be, he won’t let go.


Is it possible he could be more than just the mother maker?


Authors Note: Mother Maker is book two of the Momcoms Series and features an accidental pregnancy romance between a professional baseball player and a fun carefree single mom. Guarenteed to have some laughs with this one bed trope meddling family romcom.



⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me with no Spoilers. 


What a great read. Cortney & Dylan were great characters. I’m enjoying this series. It’s so much fun. This was such a sweet romance rom com & if you love baseball like I do, this books for you. I really enjoyed the Authors style of writing as well. These two characters will stay with me for awhile. 


Cleo White Age of Shade

 

Fate is bullshit. 


Good things happen when you make them happen, when you decide the shitty life you were born into won’t be the one you die with… That’s what I believed, anyway.


Until him. Asher Roth, the sweet, dorky, bowtie-wearing dentist.


The first time we met, he saved my life.


The second, I was paid to be his date.


The third, I stripped naked in the middle of his hotel room, and he showed me how good it feels to abandon all my carefully made plans. It was supposed to be one night—casual—until our connection becomes too intense to resist.


He says he wants to keep me, but there are things that Asher doesn’t know, and I’m not sure he’ll feel the same way if he does.





Age of Shade is a standalone, fated love, secret identity, age gap romance with heaps of spice, romance, no cheating and (as always) a HEA. This story contains triggers and themes that some may not enjoy. Please review the list on Cleo White’s website or inside the book prior to reading.


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by ME!!


I really enjoyed this story. I throughly enjoyed the Authors Storytelling. It definitely kept me as the reader engaged in the story. Adina and Asher will definitely stay with me for quite sometime. I also enjoyed the chemistry between both characters. Looking forward to reading more from the author in the future.

L.J. Shen Damaged Goods (All Saints, 4)

 

 Bailey Followhill is the perfect daughter. Sweet. Charitable. Pretty. Control freak. Not a hair out of place, not an inch out of line, she is everything her troublemaking sister Daria isn't. But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes. She's becoming a piece of gossip. The Troubled Child. A drug abuser. No longer the girl her best friend once knew.

Lev Cole is so golden, he's got the Midas Touch. Prized quarterback. Football captain. Hottest guy in SoCal. A textbook cliché. But with a girlfriend he doesn't love and a career path he doesn't value, Lev is coasting. The only two things he cares about―Bailey and becoming a pilot―are out of reach.

But Lev is done being satisfied with the life others have chosen for him. He wants to pick his own cards. To demolish the seamless kingdom of lies his family stitched together on the ruins his mother left behind.

The question is, can he save his best friend and his dream before too much damage is done?

I enjoyed this story very much. It definitely kept me as the reader on a roller coaster of emotions. I connected with the characters and enjoyed the authors style of writing. Bailey and Lev are two characters that will stick with me for awhile.

Jennifer J Williams Worth The Risk (Eternity Series) Book 1 of 2: Eternity Series

 

Hannah

The night before starting my new job was not when I wanted to meet my neighbor. Certainly not in the middle of the night, wearing next to nothing, as I bang on his door to tell him to quiet down. And when he answers the door, I almost swallow my tongue. He’s possibly the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. But when he opens his mouth, my Southern upbringing rears its ugly head, and I slam up those carefully constructed walls around my heart.

Luca calls me Pixie, and suggests I need to loosen up. When I finally decide to lower my walls with him however, he walks into my work office. As the social media manager for the Denver Wolves hockey team, I’d been warned about one specific hot player, both on and off the ice. Of course, he’d be that hot player. But I just can’t stay away … until I’m forced to.

Luca

I’m the black sheep of the Wolves. The one who has too much bad publicity. Everyone, including my family, thinks I’m a player. No one believes that I’m tired of the partying. The lifestyle. The games. But I don’t know how to change things, until she moves in next door.

Hannah makes me want to be a better man. But life on the ice has gotten murky, and my coach is clearly looking to get rid of me. I’ve never taken chances on anyone before, but something tells me Hannah is worth the risk.


Worth the Risk is a small town contemporary romance. It is book one of the Eternity Series, but can be read as a standalone. It features a neighbors, workplace, hockey romance and a guaranteed Happily Ever After. Worth the Risk features sexually explicit material, profanity, and some content that may be triggering. This book is intended for readers 18+.


My Review, thoughts, and no spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by me.


I really enjoyed this story. It kept me the reader interested and invested from the first to the last page. I enjoyed the characters of Luca & Hannah. These two characters had just enough chemistry & spice between them. I love this authors style of writing & it definitely did not disappoint. This book was such a fun read.

Britanee Nicole Mother Faker Book 1 of 4: The Momcoms

 

 Moving with my three best friends and our seven kids into a dilapidated brownstone in Boston may have seemed like the most insane thing I’d do this year. Apparently the universe said hold my beer.


Because last night I got drunk and married my boss.


Don’t worry, it’s all fake. Or at least everything after 'I Do' will be.


Beckett Langfield is grumpy, rich and hates kids. I’m an overworked, overstressed, and overweight single mom. The only reason we’re getting married is because he needs to fix a PR disaster and I am available. As in sitting next to him, in a bar, when he has this brilliant idea.


Considering I just got divorced, I’m not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally can’t refuse, so I don’t.


He’ll help fix up our broken house and all I have to do is take a few pictures and pretend we’re happily married.


Easy peasy.


Now if someone could just remind him that it’s all fake. 


Authors Note: Mother Faker is book one of the Momcoms Series and features an accidental marriage between a billionaire grump and a plus size single mom who happens to work for him where there is only one bed, tons of laughs, a lot of ducks, and it's always been you vibes. 


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me with no spoilers. 


This was such a fun read. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the very last page. It had me laughing & just made me smile while reading this book. I love the authors way of writing and this was a fun story. Liv and Beckett are two characters that will stay with this reader for awhile. If you are looking for a book that will make laugh, smile, and just put you in a happy mood, this one’s for you.
