The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed.
The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there.
When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder.
Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all.
Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking.
We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described. Though she was also right when she’d said you two will hate each other.
When daylight rolled around, Dawson and I attempted to straighten out the mess we found ourselves in. But it proved to be more difficult than we initially thought. Since it was a holiday weekend, there wasn’t a single room available for more than fifty miles.
I suppose things could be worse than sharing a cabin for a weekend with a handsome man you despise.

What does one do when they completely blow an interview?
If you’re me, you pick up a one-night stand with the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen…
That’s right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldn’t want walked in. And when my friend convinced me to take him back to my hotel room, I didn’t think about it, I just did it . . . well, I did him.
It was an unforgettable night, but I didn’t stay for breakfast. Instead, I got out of there and tried not to think about him again.
Everything was fine until I received a call from the interviewer saying I got the job as the assistant baseball coach at Almond Bay High. I’d be working directly under the one and only Ryland Rowley–my one-night stand.
Now, I’m not only working with him but renting the apartment above his garage. And I have to deal with the fact that he’s the man I dream about and can’t have while not letting my attraction get in the way of keeping the harmony between us. Sounds easy, doesn’t it?
It should have been, except the plan falls apart when my shower breaks, and night after night I have to slip into his house to use the bathroom only to find him in the kitchen, staring me down with those hungry, single dad eyes.

This was such a fun, cute YA sports romance. I enjoyed the characters and really found the story engaging and entertaining in so many ways. And yes, this is a true YA romance that even the younger adult will enjoy as much as older readers.
Claire and Austin are both about to embark are new changes and challengers during the junior, but for very different reasons. Austin is new the area and Claire is adjusting to new changes and challenges. What I loved most, the mannerisms and characteristics match these characters so well – they stay true to who they are.
I enjoyed the authenticity of this story – from the sports aspect, to the every day challenges of high school students. Rebecca delivered a fantastic story with characters that are relatable.
Looking forward to more from this author and this series.

From bestselling author B.B. Reid comes a wicked retelling of your favorite fable. Have you heard the tale of Goldilocks?This one’s just right…
America’s sweetheart has been canceled.
From teen star to international phenom to the biggest celebrity in the world, Aurelia George has suddenly found herself on the other side of adoration. The public thinks they hate her when they never really knew her. The saddest tragedy of all is that she doesn’t know herself.
Done with the fame, glitz, and glam—the whole doe-eyed princess charade—Aurelia decides she’s taking back her life, even if it costs her everything.
But her uncle has other plans.
Shipped far away until the heat dies, Aurelia finds herself in the one place where her name means nothing. When a blizzard causes her plane to crash, she becomes stranded in the wilds of Northern Canada, a sole survivor with no one to turn to.
No one except them.
The misanthropic mountain men who’ve shut themselves away.
It’s their cabin Aurelia finds in the icy wilderness and their obsession she ignites when they discover her sleeping in one of their beds. Thorin, Khalil, and Ezekiel (and all of his personalities) have only longed for one thing in nine long years…a woman to warm their beds.
Surviving a plane crash, wolves, avalanches, frozen lakes, and a harsh winter with three feral men is nothing compared to Aurelia’s hardest trial of all—finding herself.

Perfect way to tell readers what this is book like – dark retelling of Godilocks. And I mean DARK.
Please check the TW if you have any. Otherwise, this book is right down the alley for dark romance lovers.
This book is not for the faint of heart. B.B. does not hold back on anything when it comes to the darker elements in this story. This story has so many facets to it and it’s amazing to see all of it unfold as the story progresses.
I am purposely being vague with my review because I want readers going into this the same way I did – with just the blurb. This story takes some time to get into, but B.B. does this to build the story up; for readers to see the buildup between these characters and how things evolve as the story moves forward.
This story keeps readers right at the edge of their seats all the way through the end and leaves us hanging, begging for more. I have no idea where B.B. is going to take us next with this story and I cannot wait to find out.
Meet B.B.

After graduating with a Bachelors in Finance, she started her career at an investment research firm while continuing to serve in the National Guard.

From USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a Single Mom, Marriage Of Convenience, Hockey Romance.
You’d think a romance author would know better than to fall for her fake husband. It’s the oldest trope in the book . . . literally. But it turns out writing it and living it are two very different things.
The plan was enticing—marry hockey’s hottest player so I could receive my inheritance and give my daughters the life they deserve. I’m already a single mom at twenty-five—how hard could it be?
Well . . . the answer is harder than you think because Leo Sinclair is so much more than I bargained for. Six foot, four inches of toned muscle and golden skin wrapped around the most perfectly chiseled jaw and dangerously charming smile. I knew he’d be hard to resist . . . but it’s not just his looks that weaken my resolve.
It’s the way he wins over my daughters with ease.
The way he sees through my defenses and quiets my fears.
The way he says “my wife” like he means it.
Suddenly, this arrangement doesn’t feel so fake. And I’m no longer sure which of us is playing pretend.
But when love wasn’t part of the deal, will saying “I do” turn out to be his biggest regret—or mine?

The books in this series just get better and better!! And the titles for these books are absolutely perfect for each story.
Leo Sinclair has my heart. We saw him as this funny man in Tempting, but he showed as whole other side in Enticing. This man will pull at your heartstrings and have you wanting more of him with each turned page.
Addie has been through quite a bit and her girls are her world. She’s an extremely fierce heroine and will stop at nothing to protect her girls.
I love how this story unfolded. Addie’s daughter’s were a perfect addition and just added another layer to Leo and Addie’s story.
Bravo, Bella! Another smashing hit.

Sure, they flirt and banter and give each other grief. But now she invades his dreams and makes his heart pound so hard he’s sure she can see it.
Until suddenly, not only does Arabella see every part that he wishes he could hide, he realizes if he let himself, he could fall―hard.
Which is the same day he learns she might be leaving…for good.

I am absolutely loving this next generation of Lancaster kids!
Keep Me in Your Heart is Rowan Lancaster’s book and does not disappoint.
Rowan is a senior in high school and is ready to enjoy his last year. However, the one person who’s been a constant in his school life, Arabella Hartley, unintentionally mixes things up for him.
This is a true YA romance as these navigate new feelings, opening themselves up to one another and coming into their selves. There was alot of growth in each of them both individually and together. Rowan is a harmonious blend of his parents while Arabella strives to be anything like her parents. It’s their opposing upbringings that allows these two to fully appreciate one another.
Monica really does these characters justice but keeping them innocent at times but also showing maturity in some of their life experiences in their young lives. There were certain areas that I wanted fleshed out more but it did not deter my overall love for this story and these characters.
This new generation is becoming just an enjoyable as their parents’ series.

I am not one bit surprised that I loved this slight dark, holiday romance so incredibly much!
This is the first year that I have already read several holiday romances and have enjoyed most of them. However, this one ticked off the dark theme that I crave with the mix holiday and romance and delivered a perfect story for me.
The blurb is truly all you need to know going into this one. If that hooks you, then absolutely dive right into this one. You will not regret it at all.
Alta delivers a story that has the perfect balance between obsession and passion and reality vs wild imagination with these two. I loved that when they both portray to the outside world, isn’t exactly who they are behind closed doors. But when secrets are revealed, can the faith and trust survive the reality?
Hands down, my favorite holiday romance. The fact that I read this in one day is easily a testament to that.

Six years ago, he was her one-night stand, and now they’re sharing a villa for the holidays.
I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life.
Then I find out we’re competing for the same job.
Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense.
The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa.
Needless to say, this Christmas getaway is starting off rockier than the mountains we’ll be skiing down.
I’ve stayed away for years, what’s one week? But I forgot how much easier it is to ignore him with an ocean separating us—especially when he’s determined to win me back.

A phenomenon holiday romance that gave me all the feels.
Merry Kissmas definitely got me in the holiday spirit with its setting and happening throughout the story.
I love that you could instantly see the chemistry between Brynn and Pierce. But this is a second chance romance, so you know this will be entertaining.
Pierce is determined to use this second chance to see if something is really there but Brynn doesn’t make it easy for him.
Merry Kissmas is told from both POVs and you great glimpses of their past which just add to their burning chemistry.
I devoured this story and couldn’t get enough of Brynn & Pierce. Great romance story set at the perfect time of year!

I am so incredibly happy that I was able to read this due (plus bonus short story) in one boxset.
For someone who has not read all of Bella’s previous series or books, this boxset really makes me want to go and read those. This duet is about Carys and Cooper but we meet so many other family members and connections, you want to know their stories too. And no, I was not once confused or lost or overwhelmed by all the characters and how they are all interconnected. It just added another layer to Carys and Cooper’s story.
Carys and Cooper’s story put my heart and emotions through the ringer. These two will have you sad, mad, angry, laughing, grinning like a fool and feeling hot through the entirety of their story. Bella delivers it all and keeps things moving at the perfect pace.
I loved that we see growth from these two in so many ways. Growth as individuals, growth as a couple and growth in life. You understand and empathize with their decisions. I felt everything these two went through.
This story is raw and emotional. Have tissues at the ready because you will need them. But it is worth every tear you shed.

He offers a tantalizing proposal: to be Cupid’s Arrow’s premier client. Reluctantly, Jane agrees, aware of the business potential despite her reservations about Jasper and his playboy reputation. As she sets him up on date after date, it grows clear that Jane’s the only woman he wants.
She is his goal, his endgame.
She’s not not interested…but her heart has been burned before. To get anywhere, they’ll need courage and faith.

Best way to describe this book is straightforward, sports romance.
Jasper absolutely won me over in this book and is the true reason I rated this book the way I did. Which says alot because we don’t get his POV at all in this story.
Jane – she took some time to warm up to. I think it would have helped to have more scenes with her daughter (she is Jane’s main focus) and seeing that side of Jane. I do wish there were more scenes overall with her daughter to show that connection between all of them.
My Darling Jane moves quickly and told only from one POV. Ilsa delivers some great spicy moments and some good humor.
Overall, it’s a good read, especially if you enjoy stories that aren’t filled with too much depth.
I do look forward to more from this series.

Elizabeth truly knows how to bring a story to life for her readers. I could easily picture the worlds as she described them. I really enjoyed the characters and how they all interacted and each brought their own purpose to the story.
I loved how this story is based on fairytales intermixed with mythology and other fantasy elements that truly give this story so many layers to it. Elizabeth keeps her readers engaged throughout this story with many twists and unique scenes that pertain to this amazing story.
