Welcome back to Port Snow, ME and back into the lives of the Knightly family. I have been waiting for Rogan’s story since the end of That Second Chance and this did not disappoint. This story was beautifully written, full of laughs, emotions and a most of all a beautiful second chance.

This story was seriously fantastic from the very first word. I loved that it went between dual POV, but also form past to present. I loved that we got to see the start of Harper and Rogan’s relationship to their demise to where we are now and the future throughout this entire story. It was beautiful, emotional, and full of love. Their chemistry and their love for one another is perfection and despite how things ended it was always still there beneath the surface.

I wasn’t expecting Harper and Rogan’s story to be so emotional or to affect me so much, but the deeper we got and the more we learned of the past it was slowly breaking my heart. I felt my heart shatter along with Harper’s.

I didn’t think it was possible to love this family anymore, but I do. The Knightly family is hilarious and the interactions between all the siblings is hilarious and you can feel the love between them all. If I could become a member of this family I would.

I love this town, this family and everything about this series. I can’t wait for more of these brothers and their crazy curse! That Forever Girl is a MUST READ!

Kiss Me Not is a laugh out loud, standalone, super sweet romance. I am a sucker for anything Emma Hart writes and this one instantly grabbed my attention from the super amazing illustrated cover to the blurb, but once I started reading the book I was HOOKED.

Halley is the town fair’s kissing booth champion, her competition this year is Preston, her best friends brother and someone she can’t stand. But the more time they spend together the more their attraction towards one another comes to the surface. There is no denying the chemistry between these two. Their banter was fantastic.

I loved that Preston wasn’t a player, sure he was attractive and all the woman in town were in his line for the kissing booth, but he didn’t go around trying to hook up with all of them. Despite kissing hundreds, he had his eyes on just one woman, Halley. He was super sweet and romantic, though at times kind of an idiot when it came to the racoons, but he learned quickly.

I love Halley and her group of friends and their betting. I was dying of laughter when these girls were together. Their bond is amazing. I am looking forward to their books in the future. This book was full of great secondary characters from Halley’s friends, to the racoons (trust me, you have to read this to understand the love for the racoons), Grandma and Aunt Bethel.

If you are looking for a laugh out loud, super sweet romance this is definitely one to read!

Instant Gratification is a laugh out loud, steamy, sweet best friends to lovers/best friends little sister romance. I loved every single moment of this book.

Jason and Truly were first introduced in Satisfaction Guaranteed. Jason is Malone’s best friend and Truly is Malone’s twin sister. Though Instant Gratification can be read as a complete standalone.
I loved the chemistry and the banter between Jason and Truly. You could feel the chemistry radiating off them, but after one night months ago, they decided that it was better to stay in the friends zone. There was a build up to their relationship and once it finally came to a head it was EXPLOSIVE!!

I loved Truly. I loved how driven she was when it came to her career. She was always looking for how to improve her business, how to expand, how to create new drinks. You could feel the passion and the love she had for it. Her friendship with Charlotte was amazing, plus I loved seeing previous characters pop up again. The sibling bond between Truly and Malone is one of my favorites. They had me cracking up a few times.

This was another fantastic book from Lauren Blakely and I can’t wait for the rest of the books in this series!

I LOVE Kendall Ryan and I was so excited when I found out she was doing a hockey romance series. Playing for Keeps is the first book in the Hot Jock’s series and can be read/listened to as a complete standalone.

Elise has had a crush on her brothers best friend/roommate/teammate Justin since she was a little girl. Justin has always seen Elise as the off limits girl. He grew up with her, her brother is his best friend. He doesn’t want to ruin anything, however, after one night of drinking the line gets blurred and their friendship is in trouble. Will they both be able to navigate their new relationship as friends with benefits or will things become too complicated?

There is no denying that Justin and Elise have chemistry, but it is there friendship I loved more than anything. They have known each other forever and the foundation they built over the years made their relationship so much more. This story was super enjoyable. It had a few funny scenes, it was steamy and it was sweet. It is the perfect summer listen.

The secondary characters in this story were AMAZING. I love the entire team and Elise’s group of friends. When they entire gang was together it was FULL of laughs. I can’t wait to get more of them in the future books, especially Owen (Elise’s brother) and Becca (her best friend). There was a lot of teasers when it came to their relationship.

I did listen to the audiobook of this story and I LOVE Jason Clarke. He nailed Justin and I felt really brought the character to life. Virginia Rose did a great job at bringing Elise to life. As a duel narration this was great to listen to and their voices were fantastic and did a great job at telling the story of Justin and Elise.

This is a MUST for any fan of Kendall Ryan or for anyone who is new to Kendall’s stories!

Revenge is the end of Tristan and Isabel’s story and I was not ready to say goodbye to these characters and their story. I fell in love with this from the very first word of part one and was completely addicted. The conclusion to their story was 100% worth the wait.

Revenge is full of action, suspense, love, and full of so many answers we have been waiting for since the very beginning. There were twists and turns until the very end and ones you didn’t see coming. The chemistry between Tristan and Isabel continued to grow throughout Revenge, their relationship continued to strengthen despite everything that was going on around them.

The growth of Tristan throughout this story was tremendous. Looking back at the Tristan we first met in part one to the Tristan we got in Revenge were so different, but deep down he was still the same Tristan we’ve come to love. Isabel also changed throughout this series. She was a survivor, a fighter and was willing to fight for her life and her love for Tristan.

The ENTIRE Red Ledger series is a MUST READ and I can’t recommend this enough! Meredith Wild created an addicting series and characters you can’t help but love. I can’t wait to see what is in store for the future.

It’s time to return to Happy Cat and to learn more about Blake and Hope, the couple who loves to hate each other.

This book is laugh out loud funny, seriously if you plan to read this in public be prepared for weird looks because you will get them. This book can be read as standalone, however, I would HIGHLY recommend you read the other books in this series because they are just as hilarious and you’ll get to know a lot of the secondary characters and animals. If you have read the previous brother’s stories you know some of the history between Hope and Blake, but there is a MAJOR secret they have been keeping from everyone for years.

Hope St. Claire runs the animal sanctuary in Happy Cat, she is also known to fry every electrical circuit in town. Blake O’Dell is working to get his winery going, but keeps running into issues. Hope needs a husband ASAP and Blake is the man for the job. She needs to keep her animals safe, specifically the beloved alpaca, Chewpaca. Will they be able to put aside the differences and their issues and make this “marriage” work?

I couldn’t get enough of this book. I love Blake and Hope and their electrifying chemistry. The bingo scene was priceless, seriously, you’ll know once you read it. Of course, there is plenty of Chewpaca and of course, everyone’s favorite trash panda, George Cooney and the rest of the O’Dell family.

If you’re looking for a laugh out loud, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers romance this is a MUST READ!

This is Love was one of my highly anticipated reads and let’s just say it does not disappoint. I LOVE Vivienne and all her crazy antics. Throughout the series she has hands down been one of my favorite characters and I was so happy to have the chance to read her story.

Vivienne is a serial dater. She’s been burned in the past, so she doesn’t let anyone really get close to her. Enter PM aka Mark aka Markos. He is a private man, so naturally he is attracted to someone who blogs about her life and her dates.

Vivienne was always the friend dishing out advice, the was unfiltered, spoke her mind and she is one of my favorite heroines, but this story showed a different side to her and I love her even more after. Mark is the exact opposite, but when it came to Vivienne he was super patient, he knew he couldn’t push her. Their chemistry was kindle melting. I loved the instant attraction these two had for each other.

This is Love had everything. Hockey, LOTS of laughs, LOADS of steaminess, and romance (seriously, Mark is the ultimate book boyfriend – under the sea date, SIGN ME UP!). One of my TOP BOOKS of 2019 and a MUST READ along with the rest of the series.

This is the first book I’ve read from Robin Bielman and I know it won’t be my last. I was completely sucked into Ethan and Pascale’s story. This is the second book in the series, however, it can be read as a standalone.

Ethan and Pascale spent a summer together 10 years ago, that summer they fell in love. Until, Pascale left without a word. Now, they are back in each other’s lives, but Pascale was hired by Ethan’s family to keep him safe.

I loved Ethan and Pascale’s relationship. Despite having ten years pass there is no denying the connection they share. That bond from ten years ago is strong and only growing between the two of them. When Pascale’s life takes a major turn, I loved that Ethan doesn’t shy away. He is super sweet and loving and majorly steps up.

The characters in this book were super relatable and easy to love. I couldn’t get enough of the Auprince family, especially Gran. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series and I’m definitely going to go back and read the first one!

The Hardest Hit is full of missed connections when it comes to Mel and Aiden. They met in Vegas, of course, their “relationship” didn’t stay in Vegas. Aiden couldn’t get enough. He was smitten with Mel from the very beginning, but Mel had other thoughts.

I loved these two and wanted to know more about their relationship, especially after first being introduced to them in Griff and Brooke’s story. I completely devoured this book. I was hooked. Mel and Aiden’s story was one failed attempt after another, yet I loved the bond they formed. I loved the fact that that constantly told each other secrets to know more about each other.

This story was so much more than I expected. It took a tragedy to finally make the timing right. Mel stepped up big time this time around and I loved that. I loved that she didn’t take no for answer and she fought for what she knew was right from the very beginning. Aiden is so much more than a star quarterback. He and Mel had opposite lives growing up, yet they both felt ignored in a sense.

I loved every single thing about their story. It was sweet, charming, their chemistry was perfect and their road was a struggle, but they kept fighting for each other. A.S. Teague has a way of bringing out every single emotion in me when I read but I can’t get enough.

The Hardest Hit is a MUST READ.

Complicated Love was complicated, emotional, beautiful and so much more than I expected.

Kaysen and Wynter are best friends, coworkers and friends with benefits. That’s what they have been for the past 5 years. They both have loads of extra baggage in their lives and really don’t want to do anything to complicate their situation. But what happens when they start wanting more and secrets that have been hidden for years come to light?

I couldn’t put this book down. I may have started it super late at night and was up until the wee hours of the morning finishing it. I was completely hooked on Wynter and Kaysen’s story. I didn’t want this to end. Their past is messy, their relationship isn’t 100% conventional but the love they had and the admiration they had for each other was beautiful. I was not expecting to get so emotional while reading this book, but I did. It was hard not to.

This book is beautifully written. The characters, both main and secondary, were fantastic. The plot is great and sucks you in.

Complicated Love is a MUST READ.
