Helena does it again! Making Up is everything I love about her writing. It is sweet, charming, hilarious, quirky. I mean, who else would be able to start of a story in a sex toy shop?

Cosy is a free-spirited college student who is working in a sex toy shop in Vegas. Griffin, the oldest of the Mills brothers, is in Vegas for business and pleasure. There was instant attraction between the two of them and weeks after their first meeting, they are both still thinking about each other. Will Cosy be able to let down her guard and give in to Griffin?

I LOVE Cosy. She is awkward, she is gorgeous (both inside and out), she is smart and she is just an overall badass female who does what she wants. Griffin is out of a long term relationship and really isn’t looking for love after getting his heartbroken, but Cosy brings something out in him that brings out something new in him.

This is an age gap romance and I love that the characters casually bring this up throughout the story and can joke about it. Cosy and Griffin’s relationship is a slow burn but so so so so worth the wait! Their chemistry is great, I love that Cosy brings out a youthfulness to Griffin. Their relationship is a rocky road and Helena definitely threw a wrench in it, but whats a story without some drama?

Cosy’s sister, Nev, was a great secondary character and was protective of her sister. Of course, we got a little bit of the other Mills brothers, Bane and Lex, plus their cousin, Lincoln and everyone’s favorite Armstrong.

This is another MUST READ from Helena!

Wes and Lily met as children, her the CEO’s daughter and him the gardner’s son. Both without their mothers, completely different lives, never truly friends, yet there was something always pulling them together. Secret kisses, secret meetings, but nothing more. Lily ran away without saying goodbye. What happens when she returns 5 years later?

I’ve got so much love for Wes and Lily. I loved so much about this story that I don’t even know where to begin with this review. This story is a SLOW SLOW SLOW burn but the wait is 1000% percent worth it. Wes and Lily’s road is a rocky one. There is so much pain between the two of them, so much that was left unsaid that they both need to hear. Even after years apart their chemistry never faded, if anything now that they are working together its only gotten stronger.

On a more personal note, I LOVED that this story took place in Southern Oregon. It is a completely beautiful area and such a perfect background for this amazing love story. As someone who grew up in Oregon and lived in Southern Oregon for some time it felt like coming home.

I was completely in love with this story from the very beginning. It was full of romance, angst, and so many emotions. Kayley completely captured my heart with this story and this is one I know that I will read over and over again.

Peacock has become one of my favorite towns with some of my favorite people. If you’ve read any of Ashley’s previous books, you’ve met the town baker Casey. I’ve been waiting for her story and this one did not disappoint and left me with a book hangover and craving sweets.

Casey runs the bakery, which also used to be her Uncle Bob’s Bait and Tackle Shop. Cade is a new young lawyer in town and has been tasked with the job of bring Casey letters from her Uncle Bob. Casey is just recently out of a relationship and really doesn’t have much experience with relationships in general. Cade doesn’t do relationships, he doesn’t do love, he is more of a one night stand type of guy. Will he be able to change his ways for Casey? Will Casey be able to let anyone into her heart again?

The true hero of this book is Uncle Bob. His letters and his love for Casey are EVERYTHING! He plays such a major roll in this story and really if it weren’t for Uncle Bob it would have been completely different. I loved every time Casey got to read one of his letters, I may have teared up at every single one of them as well.

This story is sweet (in more than one way), it was steamy and of course has a little bit of drama. I was completely hooked from Casey and Cade’s very first run in and didn’t want the story to end. Grab a brownie, a glass of milk, some tissues and take a trip to Peacock.

The Wynn Family may be one of my favorite Hockey families. Their family tree is a messy one (if you’ve read the first book and/or this one you understand). It definitely is not easy to be member of this family.

If you’ve read the first book, you may remember JP, you know the one who stole his brothers girlfriend? He is the black sheep of the family and though he is working on his relationship with his family still isn’t his biggest fan. Taylor was also introduced in the first book, she is neighbors and friends with Theo and Lacey.

When they see each other at Lacey and Theo’s wedding there is an instant connection and let’s just say their hook up is HOT HOT HOT! Their chemistry is through the roof. Of course, there is plenty of drama at the wedding surrounding them but they can’t seem to stay away from each other. They try to be friends, but it is a struggle and you can just feel the chemistry and the tension between them. Will the timing work out for these two to every be more than just friends?

I was not a fan of JP in the first book for what he did with his brothers ex, but he MAJORLY redeems himself in this one. There is so much more to the man. Yes, he has some control issues and tends to easily lose his temper, but he also has a sweet side and is super swoon worthy.

I loved every single moment of this book. I was completely sucked into JP and Taylor’s relationship I devoured this book in one sitting. I can’t wait for more of the Wynn family and for updates on Theo and Lacey and JP and Taylor.

For any fans of hockey romances full of steamy and family drama this is a MUST READ.

I LOVED this story so much. Bernadette is such a fun heroine. She is hilarious, free spirited, and caring. She is an artist, who is also the assistant to a famous artist. Matt is the opposite. He is a lawyer, serious, but also has a sweet loving side, especially when it comes to his dog, Daisy.

These two become unlikely neighbors and form a friendship. However, there is also some attraction between them. Why not use their neighbor status and become friends with benefits? Bernadette doesn’t want anything more and Matt just got out of a serious relationship. What is the worst that can happen?

Bernadette and Matt have chemistry right off the bat. I loved their banter, the tension, everything about them. There was were so many times I found myself laughing out loud throughout the story, but also times where I was slightly blushing. This story had it all.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrators were fantastic like always! This isn’t my first audiobook from Kayley and I love that she uses the same narrators. Teddy Hamilton and Mackenzie Cartwright both do an AMAZING job. They both truly bring these characters to life and you can really feel their personalities shine.

This is not my first, nor will it be my last book by Kayley Loring! This is a super fun MUST READ and MUST LISTEN!

Callie and Lucas are BACK and better than ever! Call of Night has been my favorite book in the Thorne Hill Series to date! If you haven’t read Dark of Night and Dead of Night yet you MUST read those first, each book picks up right where the other left off.

Callie and Lucas have a forbidden love. Witches and Vampires aren’t supposed to be together, let alone be in love with each other. They have the ultimate forbidden romance, but they aren’t going to let ANYONE stand in their way of being together. They will do anything to protect one another, even if it means risking their lives so they other one can keep on living.

I was on the edge of my seat throughout this entire book. I was completely sucked into the story and the world of Thorne Hill, witches, vampires, demons, and hunters. I had no idea where this story was going and when I think I’d figure it out the story would go in the opposite direction. It kept me guessing the entire way through and I LOVED every single minute of it.

I LOVE Emily’s writing. Her description of scenes is absolutely fantastic and it really paints a picture in your mind. You feel as if you are part of the story and witnessing everything along with the characters. This story was fully of suspense, drama, a few laughs (drunk Lucas is the BEST), and steaminess (Callie and Lucas have some of the HOTTEST scenes I’ve read recently).

I can’t wait to see where this story continues to go and Callie and Lucas’s relationship continues to progress. After this ending it is going to be a LONG wait until October.

Nora grew up on screen. She was skyrocketed to fame as a child, but she’s matured and her manager doesn’t agree with the change. So when she catches her boyfriend cheating on her, she goes off the rails. Which is how she ends up on her brother’s doorstep for the summer.

Grayson is a single father of 3 children. He is devoted to his children and giving them the best life he possibly can and doing a great job at it. When he visits his best friend and finds Nora there he is instantly attracted to this beautiful woman and his children instantly connect with her. But can the pop star and the single dad really make it work?

This story had me swooning the ENTIRE time. I devoured this book in a day. The chemistry between Nora and Grayson was fantastic. I loved their friendship, their relationship, Nora’s love for his children. This story was sweet and beautiful with a little sprinkle of drama. I hope we see more of these characters in the future.

This is MUST READ book and one I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

It’s the wedding we have all been waiting for and it was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. This book was so much more than I expected and everything I didn’t know I needed in my life.

In true Bailey fashion there is so much chaos surrounding Austin and Holly’s wedding, both with them and the rest of the Bailey clan. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL and everything that I would have expected for the Bailey’s. The family came together and celebrating the first of what I’m sure will be many Bailey weddings.

I loved that this novella had many different POV’s and we got to catch up with the previous couples and some up and coming ones. This is the perfect story to hold any Bailey family fan over until the next release. It packed a lot of punches and raised many, many, many questions that I can’t wait to get answers for.

This is a MUST READ for any Bailey Family lovers!

This is a fantastic and beautifully written second chance romance. Gwen and Harrison are getting divorced, though there is still so much chemistry, emotion and love between the two of them. Harrison is determined to make it work again.

I really didn’t know what to expect going into this book. I’ve read books by both authors in the past and have loved them and this one was no different. It was a different story, at least from other second chance romances I have read previously. This story was emotional, so full of love and even had a little bit of suspense.

There is so much I could say about this book, but I truly don’t want to spoil any part of it. If you love an unexpected second chance roman

I can’t wait to read more collaborations from Kaylee and Lacey in the future and I hope we get to see more of these characters again in the future!

This may be one of my favorite books of the series! Morgan and Theo were both introduced in Trade In and I have been waiting for their story and this was well worth the wait!

Morgan is working as a maid while she finishes up her degree. She is attracted to her boss, but she doesn’t just want to be his plaything when he needs someone to warm his bed. Theo is afraid he will scare Morgan when she discovers the real him. Will these two be able to let the other in and give into their attraction?

Compared to the others in this series this one is probably the darkest. Theo has some issues with letting people in after what happened in his past when it comes to relationships. He has some dark interests and he doesn’t want to taint Morgan’s innocence with all his darkness but he can’t to stay away from her. Thankfully, Theo’s cousin was there to knock some sense into him when it came to Morgan. He also added comedy to the story and lightened it up some.

Morgan and Theo’s chemistry is INTENSE! I just wish we got more of them. I was not ready for their story to end. I was completely hooked from the very first word to the very last. Overall, this is a MUST READ!

I hope that we got more of them and Taylor gets his own story in the future.
