This writing duo has done it again! Colby and Billie’s relationship was perfectly imperfect on their way to their HEA. Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have a knack of creating lovable, relatable characters that are easy to fall in love with and to cheer on to the end. For this book, add in the addition […]
I love the British aristocracy, so I was ready for this one. On the surface, this summer romance turned second-chance romance should have had me jumping with glee. But I found that I couldn’t really connect with Leo and Felicity. He seemed too soft and wishy-washy and you knew Felicity needed more. She forgave him […]
Penelope Ward is one of my go-to authors. I always enjoy her interpretation of whatever trope she takes on. I really enjoyed this one. A single mother starting a new relationship is always interesting, but a single mother with a special needs baby…I knew the hero was going to be someone special. Deacon had his […]
I really enjoyed Griffin and Luca. To have their relationship based on being pen pals as children was different. I liked how they became best friends despite the thousands of miles that separated them. And with that childhood friendship to build on, I enjoyed how both of them were able to fight their demons knowing […]
This writing duo does it again with another book with the perfect mix of snark, angsty and heat. Elodie and Hollis’ relationship peaked my interest from the very beginning. He was a bit of an ass and she put him in his place. They had chemistry galore, but I loved that it was Hollis’ niece […]
Penelope Ward once again delivers a story that had me totally enraptured from the moment I started it. I loved the relationship between Gavin and Raven, both in the past and current, and how despite how things went 10 years ago they couldn’t fight their feelings. I was cheering for them from the very beginning. […]
When August Ends is one of those slow burn books. I spent the majority of the book wondering if Noah and Heather were ever going to act on the obvious sexual tension between them. I could understand Noah’s resistance to being anything more than friends with Heather. Noah was letting his past dictate his future […]
Penelope Ward once again took something most would find shady and managed to find a love story in it. Ryder and Eden definitely came from opposite worlds, but their unconventional meeting and conversations led to them building a friendship without the trappings one would find through a traditional date or casual meeting. They could use […]
Given how Rebel Heir ended, I had a feeling Rush was not going to handle the truth about Gia’s baby very well. And he didn’t. But I was vested in this couple’s story because I wanted to see how they got past Rush’s father and brother and what it meant for the family he was […]
Once again, the writing team of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward sucked me into a story that I absolutely couldn’t put down. There are no words to describe exactly how perfect Rush was as a hero. He was the perfect mix of brashness, sexiness, tortured and squishy center. He may not let many people past […]
Man I was ready for Channing Lord!!! I enjoy a good friends to lovers trope and Penelope Ward captured the essence and angst of two friends fighting their attraction to each other. Channing and Amber grew up together and lived through an unspeaksable tragedy supporting one another. Fast forward nine years were Channing and Amber […]
Once again, this writing duo has managed to create a story that completely consumes you. I found it quite difficult to put down Simon and Bridget’s story. The need to find out if Simon could step up and be everything that Bridget needed him to be kept me on the edge of my seat. Doctors […]
Rana makes the drunken mistake of looking up her childhood friend on Google and then proceeding to rake the guy at the other end of the phone over the coals for every hurt he ever causes her thirteen-year-old self. But when she gets a call from that same number the next day, Rana learns that […]
MISTER MONEYBAGS definitely went a direction I wasn’t expecting. It was a twist that let the characters develop their relationship without being truly physical and understanding they may not be able to walk away from each other. Bianca meets Dex in an elevator when neither one of them is at their very best…which leads to […]
