SYNOPSIS

Harper Rodrigues’ five-year plan was on track. She’d worked hard to secure her graduate marketing job, her boyfriend Adam was set to propose any day, and she was learning to process the death of her sister. She’d been through some dark times, but there was light at the end of the tunnel.

At least, that’s how it had seemed until the day she was fired in the morning and dumped by nightfall.
Now, with her life plans in ruins, Harper turns to her best friends who are going on the trip of a lifetime – five-months traveling across Asia and Oceania. Determined to see the silver lining in her unraveled plans, she decides to book a plane ticket to join them and resurrect her dreams of becoming a travel photographer.

But Harper’s travels aren’t all sunshine and cocktails. With Adam begging for her forgiveness and proposing on the eve of her departure, Harper knows she must be on her best behavior. But when she meets Xavier, an enigmatic poet on the beaches of Goa, that may just be easier said than done.

Runaways is the empowering and racy tale of one woman’s voyage of self-discovery. A must-read for fans of travelogues and romance alike.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a nice read. When Harper thinks everything is going according to plan it doesn’t. She ends up going on a trip with her friends and finally doing something she’s passionate about. On the trip she learns to forgive others and herself. I loved Xavier and Harper’s connection. He was willing to follow her anywhere to be near her and it was cute. If you enjoy books about self exploration, summer love and some drama this would be a good book for you.

Three Of Us by Ella Goode!

Published: February 15, 2019

Length: 134 pages

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

Olivia is ready for two things: college and her men.

Despite dating the Audley twins since she was fifteen, it’s been a chaste relationship. No matter how she tries to tempt them.

Her men haven’t even kissed her, and she’s tired of waiting. The minute she hits campus where the two men have been hiding out for the last two years while somehow still keeping tabs on her every move, she will shake their world.

Levi and Zeke made a promise to Olivia’s mom they wouldn’t touch her until she was ready. They’re not sure what that means, but they know they will wait forever just to have her. The problem is that Olivia keeps testing their vows. It’s hard not to give your girl what she wants when that’s all you’ve ever wanted to do.

The minute the clock turns midnight, though, all bets are off.

My Thoughts 💭

This was a cute story. Olivia is ready for college and to be with her men. But her men made her mom a promise that they intend to keep no matter how much Olivia tempts them. Zeke and Levi are twins and were totally devoted to Olivia and she to them! I liked how protective they were of each other. I can’t wait to read more of their story!

Intention by Ava Harrison review!

Published: February 6, 2019

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Length: 375 pages

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis from Goodreads

From USA Today best seller Ava Harrison comes a sexy, new enemies to lovers stand-alone romance.

I had it all. Dream job, fancy apartment, great family. But there was one thing I didn’t have. Would never have. Then he showed up.

Rich. Arrogant. Condescending.

He came to me with an ultimatum, and I had no choice but to agree.

I needed to convince the world that I was Nathaniel Harrington’s girlfriend, so his legacy would stay intact.

Spending time with him would be difficult. And fooling the world would be even harder. But persuading my heart into thinking that his kisses meant nothing and that his gentle touches were all in my head would be impossible.

I was falling for him. But fate had other plans. Our time was limited. Because I knew the truth – a truth that would end us.

My Thoughts 💭

I absolutely loved this book! I even cried happy and sad tears! Nathaniel blackmails Madeline into pretending to be his girlfriend so he can trick the board into believing he is stable and no longer a playboy that’ll make the company look bad! Neither one of them were interested in a relationship but after getting to know one another they realize they’re falling for each other! Madeline has a secret so she runs when feelings are finally being admitted. I hated that she couldn’t just be upfront instead of running away. But it did make them come to terms with what they were feeling. Their chemistry was amazing and I loved their story. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author!

Nikolai by Kristin Alexander!

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

High school is hard, but for Hannah Prescott it has become unbearable. She has an overzealous admirer whose advances are moving from challenging to terrifying. In her mind there is only one solution: Nikolai Ivanov. Nikolai, with his tendency towards violence and connections to the Russian mob, is exactly who Hannah needs to keep herself safe. Her idea is to pretend to date so her suitor will be too intimidated to approach her.

Nikolai Ivanov has had no use for relationships, seeing how brutally they can be dispatched through his father’s involvement with the Russian mob. When Hannah approaches him, he is initially dismissive. However, witnessing her distress and fear pulls him at ways he doesn’t want to admit to. He agrees to Hannah’s charade, but is determined to keep it impersonal. At first. Soon, all of his protective instincts are triggered and while he wants to create distance between himself and Hannah, he can’t keep his hands off of her.

Other dangers related to Nikolai’s father create more problems for the pair when Hannah and her younger sister are threatened in attempt to control Nikolai. Nikolai works to keep Hannah and her sister safe while confronting how important Hannah has become to him.

My Thoughts 💭

Hannah has been dealing with a stalker and she’s so tired of it she decides to approach someone in the mob so she goes to Nikolai for help. Nikolai was a jerk at first but the more he heard of her story he agrees to a fake relationship. They both sucked at the fake relationship since their feelings were very real. I enjoyed the story and I’d love to read what’s next for the other characters.

Jock Rule by Sara Ney Review!

Synopsis

Kip Carmichael is no pretty boy.

He’s a rough. Dirty. Giant. Hair so unruly, and a beard so thick, his friends on the team call him Sasquatch.

The first time Sasquatch lays eyes on Theodora “Teddy” Johnson across the keg at a party one night on Jock Row, she’d been relegated to the sidelines by her jock hungry “friends.”

Week-after-week, he watches beautiful but bashful Teddy getting overshadowed, and overlooked. Sasquatch finally broad shoulders his way through the crowd, offering to to be her hairy godmother. But the minute their eyes meet? He’s a goner.

Teaching her the RULES for winning a jock will be the easy part. Not falling in love with her is going to be a losing game.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved Teddy and Kip! Kip decides he’s going to help Teddy snag a jock by being her hairy godmother. They become closer and they end up falling for each other and it was so adorable! The steamy scenes were hot! They had amazing chemistry and the banter between them was hilarious! I definitely recommend this hot and sweet read!

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was well written and kept my attention! I couldn’t stop reading! Lucia! I loved her and how she was able to see someone for who they were and not judging based on how things look. Renzo is a bit of a a## but still lovable and his love for Lucia was so adorable! They know they shouldn’t be together but Renzo isn’t letting anyone keep him away from what’s his! I’m so anxious about what’s going to come next! I loved this book and I can’t wait to read the next one!

My name is Melodie and I’m in love with a guy, but he doesn’t know.

He walks by every day, I catch him staring, listening to me sing and play my guitar. I don’t even know his name.

Crazy I know but I can’t stop thinking about Office Guy. That’s what I secretly call him, Office Guy.

We’ve never even spoken to each other, but then one day he walks up to me and…

My Best Friend’s Boyfriend by Amy Brent.

AVA

I’ve lost my mind.

That’s the only explanation for it.

He’s my best friend’s boyfriend. I broke every girl-code out there when I let him kiss me.

And then what happened after…

But the dating agency set us up. And I couldn’t say no to those gorgeous gray eyes focused only on giving me pleasure.

I just wanted to lose my virginity. Now I’m afraid I’ll lose Logan.

What happens when I tell him I’m pregnant?


LOGAN

She blew me away when she walked in the room.

Olive skin and bright blue eyes that scratch an itch I never knew I had.

When I was with her best friend, I wouldn’t dare think about how much I wanted Ava.

Except in my dreams.

Now Ava’s here for real. In my arms, in my bed…

Mine. Forever.

But when I wake up, will she still be here?

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a cute story even though it had its cheesy moments. Camilla wasn’t a good friend to Ava and definitely not a good woman for Logan. Ava is nagged so much by Camilla to lose her virginity that she decides to join an agency that helps her plan the evening she wants. Logan is heartbroken after finding out his woman has been cheating on him. Logan signed up to be a teacher or guide to make himself feel better and the person he ends up teaching is Ava. They had great chemistry and I loved them! Ava and Logan fit each other perfectly. I thought the story was well written and enjoyed reading it!
