MF - Forever Perfect (Perfect #4) by Alison G. Bailey

  







Sometimes in love, the person who’s your future isn't always your destiny…


Forever Perfect by Alison G. Bailey is now live! 


I was five years old when I met the love of my life. He was my best friend's older brother, but he was also my friend. We shared popsicles, we hunted for shark teeth on Folly Beach, and told each other secrets. But everything changed when we became teenagers. Brandon no longer wanted to have anything to do with me. I was a pest. Something to ignore. I hated that he tossed away our friendship.

Although he broke my heart, it still fluttered when he looked at me, was near me, and touched me. But eventually he would look away, push away, and walk away. Finally, I realized you can't make someone love you even if they were supposed to be your forever.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Forever Perfect is a great brother's best friend romance by Alison G Bailey. This is the fourth book in the Perfect series and is easily read as a standalone. 

I can never resist a brother's best friend romance. And this is my favorite kind, as Halle and Brandon have known each other growing up. They were even good friends...until they weren't.

Their story is told with time jumps, as we get to see the past and the present. And the present starts with Brandon hating Halle, creating a nice enemies to lovers storyline. And damn, their story is full of pain and obstacles, but their love is well worth the journey.

The writing is great, with an intriguing storyline and two interesting characters. The story is fast paced, with everything flowing nicely. There are definitely some tough subject matters, so be warned. 

Overall, Forever Perfect is a great read. I love this Alison G Bailey book, as it's full of all the feels. I definitely recommend it the next time you're in the mood for a brother's best friend romance.

MF - Love to Hate You by Whitley Cox

 



Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link




She needs arm candy, he needs her insurance, but first, they need to drive across the country without killing each other.


Eli

Since the first day of kindergarten, I have hated Alexandra Hartford.
And twenty-something years later that hasn’t changed.
But she has.
She’s still a tomboy with a chip on her shoulder, but now she’s a hot tomboy with a chip on her tattooed shoulder who can fight like a badass.
I’d still rather have a bath with fire ants than spend ten days in a car with her, but she has something I need.
Once the deal is done, we can go our separate ways.
That is … if I want to.

Alex

Eli Evans is my nemesis.
He blames me for his sister’s death, our parents’ divorces, and probably global warming, too.
Why on Earth would I help him?
Because he’s as easy on the eyes as he is the bane of my existence and I need a hot date to a wedding in San Diego.
Can we drive across the country without me leaving him at a truck stop somewhere? I doubt it.
But, I’m willing to try.
Ten days in a car, a wedding, and a marriage of convenience, then I’m done with him forever.
Right?




My Rating - 4.5 Stars!


Love to Hate You is a great read by Whitley Cox. If you enjoy enemies to lovers romances, this is a must read. 

Alex and Eli have a lifetime of memories together. They also share the loss of Alex's best friend, Eli's twin sister. That event added an extra wedge between them that they haven't been able to work through. 

This is a lifelong nemesis story. Eli was ruthless to Alex through the years, as her school bully, as well as through their later years. 

I love a good enemies to lovers tale, but only if the author can somehow truly make me believe they can get through their issues. It isn't always easy to make forgiveness and redemption believable, but the author excells in both. 

This is also a pretend marriage story, as the two get married to provide Eli with health insurance for a much needed surgery. Of course, the arrangement will benefit her too. 

Everything that follows is a well explored journey towards understanding and forgiveness. And damn it, but I'm still shocked I was able to forgive Eli for everything. 

I love the relationship they end up developing and truly enjoy them as a couple. 

Love to Hate You is an emotional read that will take you through it all; pain, hate, anger, loss, grief, forgiveness, love. This Whitley Cox tale is also passionate and steamy, making this enemies to lovers tale a delicious read.

RELEASE BLITZ, EXCERPT, GIVEAWAY & REVIEW - Egotistical Puckboy (Puckboys #1) by Eden Finley & Saxon James

 

EGOTISTICAL PUCKBOY

Puckboys - Book One

by Eden Finley & Saxon James

Release Blitz

Release Date: February 10, 2022

Genre: M/M Sports Romance
Trope: Hate to love



EZRA

Partying, dudes, and hockey. What more could a gay NHL player want?

If it weren't for Anton Hayes, my life would be perfect.

Not that he affects my life in any way. At all. That would imply I care what the winger from Philly thinks of me.

Which I don't.

Not even a one-night stand with him can thaw his misplaced animosity toward me.

He says I'm the one with the ego, but he can talk. He rivals me for most egotistical puck boy in the league.

I hate him as much as he hates me. Even if I crave a repeat.



ANTON

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game.

I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids.

My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all.

He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known.

We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens.

That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

____________________________________


My Rating - 5 Stars!

Omg! I absolutely love Egotistical Puckboy. The first book in the Puckboys series by Eden Finley and Saxon James, I was hooked from the first page. 

Everything about this book is amazing. 
The characters.
The storyline. 
The relationship.
The friendships. 

Starting off as enemies, Anton and Ezra are ruthless to one another. And once they are on the same team, watch out. 

This story is full of pranks that had me laughing out loud, sex scenes that had me swooning, and a beautiful progression from enemies to lovers.

This story leans heavily on the aspect of being openly gay in the hockey world. On a positive note, there isn't any homophobia. Instead, it's the desire to not be simply known as the gay hockey player that keeps one closeted. 

The gay support group adds an emotional layer I wasn't expecting. These men have a comaraderie unlike anything you will normally see. There's no need to worry about being afraid of accepted into this group; you just are. And the bonds they have are unbreakable. 

Ezra's issues with his family are tough to read. His father is nothing but a piece of shit. I was so happy to see Ezra find support elsewhere. 

Every scene, every chapter is fabulous. But the ending is the best. Omg, I couldn't stop laughing at the last clubhouse scene!!

Egotistical Puckboy is a must have for fans of hockey romance. This Eden Finley and Saxon James tale is an immediate re-read. I love it all! And I can't wait to see what comes next in this series. Whatever it is, it's sure to be great!!!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - MF - Blind Pass (Carolina Comets #2) by Teagan Hunter

 







She's sunshine. He's grumpy.
She's beauty. And him? He's the Beast.


Blind Pass by Teagan Hunter is now live! 


What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there.

I would know. I'm coming home with a brand-new ring on my finger.

My wife? Ryan Bell.
We're polar opposites.
She's sunshine and happiness.
I'm grumpy and scarred--literally.

We could get it annulled and no one would be the wiser.
Only problem? We posted about it online, and it's already making headlines.

I can't afford to get that kind of attention and tank my career, and Ryan needs my help too.

We make a plan: stay married for one year, play our roles, and divorce amicably at the end. No harm, no foul.

Besides, there's no way the beauty is going to fall for the beast…

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Blind Pass is a fun sports romance by Teagan Hunter. The second book in the Carolina Comets series, this is easily read as a standalone. 

This is a romance that starts with a drunken wedding in Vegas, and ends in true love. 

I love the differences between Ryan and Adrian. One's a beauty influencer, the other a hockey star with an ugly scar on his face from a hockey accident. From the start, this is a total opposites attract tale with some good Beauty and the Beast tie ins. 

This story also starts with an enemies to lovers feel, as the two characters couldn't stand each other in the first book. 

They bond over their sorrows, they drunkenly get married, and then proceed to fall in love via some forced proximity. 

I love sports romances, so it's no surprise I was delighted with this one. The writing drew me in from the start and I couldn't put this book down. The writing style is great, with two intriguing characters, a fabulous flow, and a compelling storyline. I enjoy the humor, as well as the chemistry between the two.

Blind Pass is a great choice the next time you're in the mood for a sports romance. This Teagan Hunter read had me riveted throughout. I highly recommend it.
