Payne


In search of: room to rent.

Must ignore the patheticness of a forty-year-old roommate.

Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent).

There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is.

When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer.

I need this.

I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...



Beau


In search of: roommate.

Must be non smoker and non douchebag.

Room payment to be made in meal planning, repairs, and dumb jokes.

Since my career took off, I barely have time to breathe, let alone keep my life in order. I’m naturally chaotic, make terrible decisions, and scare off potential dates with my “weirdness”.

So when Payne gets back into town and needs somewhere to stay, I offer him my spare room with one condition: while he’s staying with me, I need him to help me become date-able.

And while he does that, I can focus on my other plan: ignoring that Payne is the only man I’ve ever wanted to date.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Roommate Arrangement is a fabulous brother's best friend romance. As this is my favorite trope, I couldn't read this Saxon James gem fast enough. 

This is a wonderful story of second chances at love. 

Payne moves home after discovering his husband had been cheating on his for years. Talk about instant sympathy for him. 

Upon moving home, he finds himself with a roommate and that's when the fun starts. 

Beau's an amazing character. I adore his rambling, his unique behaviors, and how damn interesting he is. Of course, I also adore his crush on Payne and the way things develop between the two. 

Everything about this story works for me. Both men are charming, intriguing, and wonderfully layered. Bringing them together as roommates leads to some perfectly heart-warming moments that had me swooning throughout. 

And, omg, the coloring. I just found this part to be like a warm hug. I was completely enchanted by this and how much it illustrated their connection.

Just swoon. Love these two!

The writing is wonderful, as I've come to expect from this author. Written in first person alternating pov, the characters fully come alive.

Roommate Arrangement is a charming and riveting romance. Everything about this Saxon James book works for me. I couldn't put it down.

MF - If Only in My Dreams by Carrie Aarons

If Only in My Dreams by Carrie Aarons is now live!

'Tis the season to ... be freshly divorced at twenty-six and moving back into your parents' house?

Because that's my reality this Christmas. As if it isn't bad enough that my entire hometown is buzzing with the news of my failed marriage, who is the first person I bump into at the grocery store? The guy who treated me like his personal booty call in high school just happens to be looking at spices while I'm trying to pick up cinnamon for my mother.

And get this; Porter Kelly, the broody, mysterious recluse who exposed his own secrets to the world by writing a book about his family years ago, is the one who acts like I wronged him. His rude remarks on aisle nine are the final straw as my exhausted unhappiness breaks, and I'm officially calling off the most wonderful time of the year.

Too bad it's literally impossible for the woman whose parents own a railroad that specializes in Christmas train rides to ignore the holiday season. Because I'm back under their roof, it's mandatory to work in the middle of the red and green merriment, Santa himself, and wait for it ...

Porter serenading us with the greatest festive hits of all time. That's right, apparently my teenage heartthrob turned nemesis not only works for my parents, but can strum a guitar like he's trying to get every soccer mom on board pregnant. As we're forced to spend more time together than ever, his past baggage and my marital rejection make their way to the surface, bonding us in ways neither of us knew possible.

I thought I was heartbroken about my ex-husband wanting to end our marriage, but that pain is nothing compared to what Porter could inflict. He seems like a changed man, one on the precipice of a new chapter, which is exactly where I find myself. Would it be crazy to think we could turn the page together?

Returning home was the only option I had. But as I come dangerously close to counting on the first man who broke my heart, I wonder if all of my future dreams are too good to be true.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

If Only in My Dreams is a great Christmas romance by Carrie Aarons. 

This is a nice second chance romance for Madison and Porter. Things start off rough for the two, but Madison is the perfect person to put Porter in his place. 

I love second chance romances and love the way this one develops and unfolds throughout. We get to see the ugly feelings at the beginning, with the tension being easily felt by the reader. But the fun really starts when the two begin to get in touch with their feelings. 

This is a story that is full of fears and doubts, as no one wants to be hurt twice. Their past is loaded with misunderstandings and pain. It's an enemies to lovers story that's full of small town charm. 

The writing is great, with an enjoyable storyline written in alternating pov. The author makes the feelings and emotions jump off the pages, and the sex is definitely hot. 

If Only in My Dreams is another fabulous Carrie Aarons romance. Any fan of Carrie will be delighted with this read. And if you haven't yet read one of Carrie's books, what are you waiting for?

A night to remember, a confession, and a lifetime of love in this small town, friends to lovers Christmas romance.

Andrew Lawson's life in Sacramento has turned from being everything he dreamed of growing up, to a lonely place where finding someone special to share his life with is impossible. When the first person he meets on returning home for Thanksgiving is his childhood friend Link, it’s a reminder of happier times when his whole future lay in front of him. Agreeing to a drink before heading to his parent’s place is a way to reconnect, and a great way to start the holiday.  

Link Stanton never considered leaving the small farming town he grew up in, but he misses Andy more than he’ll ever admit. Secretly lusting after a friend is bad enough but being in love with him is so much worse. One drink with friends seems harmless enough, after all, catching up on old times can’t be a bad thing, until beers turn to shots, and Link reveals how he really feels. 

Everything could change, and if Andy doesn’t remember Link’s heartfelt confession, they could carry on as friends. But if he does remember, this could be either the worst, or the best, Christmas of all. 

___________________________________________

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Remember When is a fantastic, feel good holiday romance. I love this BL Maxwell tale. 

If you enjoy friends to lovers romances, you will fall in love with Andy and Link's journey. 

This involves a drunken moment that leads to a lot of sweet moments and pondering. It's all sweetly done and a delight to read. 

Remember When is like a warm hug. This BL Maxwell tale is a wonderful tale of finding love when you're not looking for it. It's a perfect choice the next time you're in the mood for a sugary sweet friends to lovers story. 

_____________________________

Sunday morning came and I slept in. The past few days, including two nights of drinking, had finally caught up with me. I’d stayed up late the night before texting with Link about anything and nothing at all. Like always, that was just how it was between us.

Around ten I rolled out of bed and checked my phone. A few clients had messaged hoping to get in sometime before Christmas. They were smart to book it now. Even though it was a month away, by the end of this week there wouldn’t be any openings.

It was a perfect Sunday, I didn’t leave the house and got everything ready for the week. This week would be the beginning, and it wouldn’t let up until Christmas Eve. I normally worked it, but after this year I’d decided it was time to start taking it off.

I was just settled down on the couch and turned on the TV when my phone rang. “Hello?” “Hey.” I’d know that smooth deep voice anywhere.

“I was just thinking about you.” It wasn’t a lie, since I’d left home Link had been on my mind constantly.

“Good thoughts I hope.”

“Always. It was great seeing you again. I know it hadn’t been that long but it really was nice to catch up again.”

His words brought a smile to my face, and I pictured his blue eyes crinkling at the corners with a grin. “So, are you going to give me any clues?”

“Do you need a clue?” he taunted, and he knew he taunted. I would have sworn I could hear his smirk through the line.

“Link, you know I need a clue. I’ve been racking my brain since Friday trying to remember anything that might help. Why did you let me drink so many shots?”

“Hey, you were having fun, we were all having fun. Who was I to ruin anyone’s good time? And once you started you were all in. Then we were dancing, and well it was a lot of fun.”

Oh god, he was right. It wasn’t unusual for us to all get together before a holiday and have a few drinks, there was nothing that would make me not go all in. “It was a lot of fun, it’s been a while since I’ve gone out.” I wanted to mention his confession, and how he kissed me. But I wasn’t sure how to bring it up, and it felt like something we should talk about in person.

“I’ve wanted to kiss you for years,” he whispered, and I would have sworn I could feel his breath on my neck.

“I think you said that the other night.” My own voice was soft and breathy. I wasn’t sure exactly why, but the mood had changed, and I didn’t want anything to break the spell his words had woven around us.

“Did I?” He played coy, something that was new between us. But I found I was quite drawn to.

“You did, right before you kissed me.” He was quiet then. Too quiet, and I checked the phone to be sure we were still connected. “Link?”

The hottest player on the Moo U hockey team hangs a flyer on the bulletin board, and I am spellbound:

Rent a boyfriend for the holiday. For $25, I will be your Thanksgiving date. I will talk hockey with your dad. I will bring your mother flowers. I will be polite, and wear a nicely ironed shirt…

Now everyone knows it’s a bad idea to introduce your long-time crush to your messed-up family. But I really do need a date for Thanksgiving, even if I’m not willing to say why. So I tear his phone number off of that flyer… and accidentally entangle our star defenseman in a ruse that neither of us can easily unwind.

Because Weston's family is even nuttier than mine. He needs a date, too, for the most uncomfortable holiday engagement party ever thrown.

There will be hors d'oeuvre. There will be faked PDA. And there will be pro-level awkwardness…

Boyfriend is a full-length stand-alone romance for Weston and Abbi!

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Boyfriend is a great college romance by Sarina Bowen. Part of the Moo U series, it's a riveting new adult read. 

Gah! Weston and Abi's book is pure awesomeness!

Individually, I adore these two. But together, damn, watch out!

This one starts with a fake relationship, as Abbi needs someone to take home for the holiday. And damn, these two have some major chemistry between them. But, it's the slow burn, friends to lovers aspect that kept me invested throughout. 

This is a story of two giving into their desires, but refusing to define anything. It's a story of two people enjoying their time together while they can. And I love it all. 

I love Wes and his nature desire to protect Abbi. Her stepbrother is one amazing piece of crap. 

Boyfriend is another fabulous addition to the world of Moo U. It's no surprise, as Sarina Bowen has a way of drawing me into every book she writes. I adore the banter and all the swoony feelings in this book. Just read it. You won't regret it.

Cover Design: Elle Maxwell Designs

The newest barista at the Busy Bean is about to steam the place up... 

Former Marine Mason Rye can make a cappuccino with military precision, but he finds it much harder to serve up a smile. It’s not that he doesn’t like people. But he knows from experience that once you let someone in, it hurts like hell when you lose them. And Mason’s lost too many people already. 

So it’s pretty damn inconvenient when his old Marine buddy shows up on Mason’s goat farm with his younger sister in tow. Heather’s work in Washington D.C. has turned dangerous, and she needs a safe place out of town. 

Mason doesn’t need a new roommate, especially not a pretty, single one who insists on rearranging his spice rack and giving his chickens cute names. Although there’s no denying the haunted look in her blue eyes. Every time her fear shows its face, he wants to reach for her.

The problem is that she wants him, too. And when Mason breaks all his rules, they practically burn down his bed together. But her life is in D.C. And the threat against her is over. 

Unfortunately, neither of their hearts is fireproof...

Warning: this stand-alone novel contains cute goats, bossy Marines, and small-town charm.

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Fireproof is the eight book in the Busy Bean series. This is Delancey Stewart's contribution to this multi-author small town series. 

This is a sweet tale that starts with danger causing Heather to hide out in Vermont. And there she meets Mason. 

I enjoy the way Heather takes to farm life and fully becomes involved with hard and messy work. 

Mason's easily loveable and his past is heartbreaking. He's definitely one I wanted to love and protect. 

The two make for a delightful couple. They mesh and connect well. I enjoy the way they both end up helping one another to live again. 

The political stuff is intriguing, but I find it to be resolved far too quickly. None of that rings true, but I understand that it isn't the main part of the story. 

Fireproof is a nice small town romance. This Delancey Stewart book is a nice addition to this series and adds to the charm of this small town world.
