Melt For You by J.T. Geissinger is the second book in her latest series and I fell in love with Burn For You last year.  I have had this book on my Kindle ever since I read Burn For You. I am not sure why I waited so long for Melt For You to be honest. I think the set up isn't my favorite in romance to be honest. The whole unrequited love with a mix trying to set up the person with someone else. So its something I was super excited to read however, I wanted to read this series in order and Ache For You was recently released and I want to read that one so badly so I thought since this book Melt For You received so many wonderful reviews that I would finally pick up this book and spent all afternoon yesterday reading this and I just couldn't put it down. It was FABULOUS, I wish I could just leave this review with that and that would be it because this book satisfied me in every which way and as a plus, it's an Ugly Duckling Fairy Tale Retelling and there aren't that many retellings of that fairy tale so I was thrilled.

in Melt For You, our story begins with Joellen who is socially awkward but is a hard worker. She has stayed with her job for over ten years, only taking one day off when she had surgery. She has been in love with her boss, the CEO for many years but he is married, so untouchable for her.  Joellen has a new neighbor who is driving her crazy with his super loud rap music, always wanting her to make him her dinner meals, her cat has betrayed her in loving him, and he is an arrogant rugby player who never has a shirt on. But when he discovers that she is in love with her boss who is getting a divorce, he begins to give her some lessons in winning her boss over but soon the lessons begin to turn into something more between them and there is sizzling chemistry whenever they touch or argue or laugh together. But this ugly duckling's journey into turning into a swan will show that her beauty has always been there and that Cameron has admired her for who she is and not for who she has become and accepts and loves her with no conditions.

Melt For You was such a beautiful love tale and with this spin, on the "Ugly Duckling" I admired how this author wrote this story for sure. It was so delectable and I admired seeing them journey together and boy the LAUGHS. I swear this book just gave me so many happy feels and I was laughing all the way through this book because seriously their banter was so infectious. The first half of the book you just see the chemistry building up stronger with each chapter. Their interactions were addicting and I honestly just couldn't get enough of seeing them together. But then we get some vital emotion that gets thrown in the mix. We start to see their painful pasts come into their relationship.

Our hero suffered seeing his parents make painful decisions and suffered from some traumatic memories but what we see is that Cameron was born a preemie and growing up was smaller than the other kids, but now Cameron is one of the best athletes in the world and is built like an ox with muscle on muscle, he has worked hard to eat right and work out like a beast to become stronger and not let anything or anyone hurt him again. I loved his strength, courage, and devotion to living a healthy lifestyle. And I am telling you, I wanted to just drink a green smoothie while reading this book!!

Joellen grew up in a home where her parents did love her to an extent but always looked down on her Her parents and sister always had the perfect style of bodies and Joellen didn't quite match up to what her family looked like and they tend to put her down A LOT and it was so sad to see that in the beginning of the book Joellen believe that she is dull and fat and not that pretty and it broke my heart and I related so much to this (since I received similar treatment from my family growing up) so I really connected with Joellen and understood her so well.

People can be arseholes. Sometimes those arseholes are family. It sucks, but it doesn’t mean you have to take on their bullshit. Your mother’s BS is about her, not you. You’re perfect just the way you are, lass.

And boy Cameron doesn't like her family after one phone call with them because he can tell how they view her and it makes him furious and I think I fell in love with him in that moment. Because Cameron sees Joellen as the gorgeous woman she is inside and out, that beauty within is more important than what is on the outside but he also sees the lovely woman she is and wants to show her how beautiful she really is and tries to get her to see that beauty despite her lack of self-esteem. Love seeing that.

Now the romance in this book is truly so endearing and love seeing them find true love together when they don't see it coming at first. Even though Cameron is trying to get Joellen with the man she wants, throughout the story you see that Cameron is falling for Joellen and wants her to choose him and love him instead but won't force her, he wants Joellen to want him in her life and to have that choice. He is so patient with her even if it makes him mad in how her boss treats him. Joellen at first believes that she loves Michael, but we start to see her come into herself, having more confidence in who she is, and the feelings she is beginning to have with Cameron despite his horrid taste in music. I really loved seeing the chemistry and those beautiful sensual moments when they practice kissing and boy it will set your curtains on fire because boy they have some moments of exploding passion and it just engages the reader right away. And the sex scenes....SMOKIN HOT!!! This is where we see Cameron come into his Alpha Male character because boy I love alpha's in the bedroom and he ticked off everything I desire in a hero and he was so YUMMY I wanted to keep him for myself.

Overall Melt For You is truly one of the best romances I have ever read, its a story of growth, confidence and finding love when you least expect it.....a romantic retelling that is guaranteed to stun and delight you in every delicious way,...A BEAUTIFUL GEM OF A ROMANCE!

When I picked up The Nordic King last year by Halle and LOVED it so much, I love the heartwarming humor that Halle has portrayed in these books and in The Swedish Prince it was done so well and I had a fun time with this book. Not quite as much as The Nordic King, however, it was such a charming read and one of my favorite royal/maid set ups.

Our story begins with Maggie, who had been going to NYU and working on a journalism degree, when she gets a phone call that her parents have been murdered and she is the guardian for her siblings and so she throws her dreams out the window and heads back home on the west coast to take care of her family. Its now been a year and Maggie is working herself to the bone as a hotel maid. Its not the most ideal situation and they are barely making it by financially, but her siblings need her. Then she runs into a naked viking who tempts her more than anything in a very long time.

Viktor has his own pain too. Viktor is the younger son, but then his brother commits suicide he becomes the heir to the throne, a job that Viktor never wanted and now there is pressure for him to be someone he never imagined he would be including grieving for his older brother and not living up to his parent's expectations. His parents cause an intervention and send him away for one month, anywhere outside of Europe, to have a vacation and get his head on straight. So he heads to the states traveling all over, but when his vehicle breaks down, he finds himself in a small town and being intrigued with Maggie, a beautiful hotel maid who has her own mix of pain and family drama. As the interest between them grow, a love develops and Maggie and Viktor will need to make a choice to be together or lose everything they have together.

The Swedish Prince is a story that I had some great delight in reading, and Karina Halle has the type of reading that sweeps you off your feet. I love royal romances and Halle did a great job with this one. I liked seeing that both of these characters had been grieving over a great loss to themselves personally and so you really see the emotional intimacy between them really grow and it was simply beautiful. I love that Viktor saw the lovely and strong woman that Maggie is and looked beneath her maids uniform and we see so much growth in both of these characters. We see Viktor find love but also find himself in the process and settle into being the kind of leader he needs to be and then we see Maggie learn the true value of family and sacrifice. I love how devoted she is to her family even if its not her dream job but we see her come into her own strength and discover what she is capable of and find true value in her own self worth and confidence.

You…you Victor, you are a prince in every way shape and form. You embody the word, you are selfless and kind and proud and smart and noble and you care, more than anything, you care. You’re the prince that every girl had a fantasy about but you’re more than that, because you’re real. You’re so real. And you’re here right now and you’re with me and I can’t…I can’t thank you enough

I truly enjoyed seeing this love story develop and this book was a story that gave me all the happy feels. The romance that develops is so endearingly sweet with the right balance of serious tones and laughs and you can easily settle into this book with a smile on your face all the way through. I really admired seeing these two find what they need in themselves and in each other and their relationship. There was something so vitalizing about their relationship, it definitely had a “Harry and Meghan” feel to it at times, it just came alive and I enjoyed seeing them work around being in their own “secret world” with no one but Maggie’s family knowing of who they are.

I could kiss you for a thousand days and it still wouldn’t be enough,” he says. “I could gaze at you for a million days and it wouldn’t be enough. I could touch you, taste you, be so deep inside you that you’re fused to my skin, do this forever and it still wouldn’t be enough. Forever with you isn’t enough.

Then we are introduced to some fun times with Maggie’s family, my heart aches for their loss of their parents though especially since they were murdered by a ex con who had it out for their father (who was a prison guard) but the descriptions of their parents just made the reader admire what this family has suffered through. I simply adored this family so much and seeing the various level of grief that each child is going through but how they stick together no matter what is going on and loved that and I felt like Karina Halle handles family relationships so well done, there was a sense of vibrancy to their bonds and you just want to gravitate towards them.

Overall I found The Swedish Prince a fantastic story and it portrays the powerful storytelling ability of Karina Halle, its a tale of pain and loss but also courage, strength and a passionate love worth fighting for!!! MAGNIFICENTLY PENNED!

I have really enjoyed this “Fusion” series, Savor You is the last book in the Fusion series, and what a beautiful conclusion this book turned out to be. I will admit that I was fearing this book, because of the heroine...Mia. Now in previous books and even in this book Mia is mean at times and a bit too judgmental. So I do admit I was a bit too nervous for her book however after how the previous book left off I just knew that I needed to try this book up.

Mia is the last of the five to be single, although she has kept a big secret from even her closest friends. When Mia was in culinary school, she made friends with Camden, and through a turn of events they end up as roommates and ends up having the “hots” for each other and then they end up having a relationship but when Mia finds out that she is pregnant, they get married, but when she goes to her first check up with her doctor she is told that she isn’t pregnant and that it was a false pregnancy. So Mia leaves a note and leaves Camden without a word. And now she is having to face him again in a television cooking show and Camden will be her competition. There is a past that Mia and Camden have to face up to each other once again and the love that has always been there…

Savor You was a very well written romance and I was impressed with how Mia’s character was handled. I don’t love her as much as some of the other heroines in the series, since I still think she can be really mean at times, but I did get to see a deeper side to her character and why she is so brutal with others. She has struggled with her self image for a long time, many people are cruel about her curves except for her girlfriends and their husbands and….Camden. Camden has loved everything about Mia including her curves. I honestly was more on Camden side than Mia. She left him without a word, and he was so understanding about it. I love how unconditional his love for Mia is, that he doesn’t hold a grudge over how she hurt him in the past. You don’t see that too often in heroes in romance but Camden really was the perfect hero in so many ways.

The story develops into a sweet romance and we see some fun bantering and charming flirting between these two. They have some a cute repatoire that you can easily get on board with and boy Camden definitely knows how to handle Mia especially in her bad moods. I like that he knows the right ways to sweet talk her and touch her in the ways she likes and really understand Mia more than anyone else does. There is a sweet toned of intimacy that develop between these two and I adored seeing this happen. Seeing them reconnect with each other once again was such an emotional journey.

Savor You was a diverting read that delivers in emotion, charm and wit!!

I saw this book at my library for audio and I just had to grab it up and man I don’t know why I took so long to read or listen to this book since it was fantastic and I loved seeing the development of this romance and it was a bit different than I was expecting. Its a slow burn romance that happens over a five year period and I really liked how Emma Chase handled it. Normally I am not a huge fan over a romance that goes such a long distance of time, I like something more quicker paced, but I did enjoy the dynamics that Emma Chase introduces to us here.  

 

Our story starts our with a intense scene of the persent where we get the hint that something is terrible wrong and then it takes us back five years where our hero and heroine first meet. Logan and Ellie. Ellie is the sister to the heroine of the first book “Olivia’ and with her sister marrying a royal prince, Ellie’s life could be in danger because of the connection and since she is still in high school, she is assigned a body guard “Logan” who is also very good friends with Nicholas and understands his duty despite his strong attraction to Ellie. But he knows that she is off limits first her age but also the fact that she is Olivia’s sister and he is just a bodyguard who grew up in the slums but wanted something better out of his life especially after seeing his family still living there and how their lives have gone down hill.  

 

The story begins with Logan and Ellie both have a attraction to each other, but its pretty much forbidden but they become good friends. Ellie is full of life and energy and a bit clumsy at times, but has such an open heart and loves everyone. Logan is determined to protect her even from himself. So he keeps his attraction at bay, and seeing her graduate from high school and then go through college and now she is back with living with her sister at the palace who is heavily pregnant and Ellie is bound to prove to Logan that they are worth fighting for and the love they have had for each other for years.  

 

What a fantastically well spun story and with Emma Chase at the helm there is no doubt that it would be. I simply adored seeing this book come to fruition and the development of these two characters. I adored the ways that we see their attraction for each other and how they keep their chemistry at bay because of the difference of age and their circumstances. But what I really enjoyed is that Ellie doesn’t ever look at Logan as less just because he is a bodyguard or where he grew up and she tends to be a bit protective of him at times and I loved what a wonderful partner to Logan she is.

 

Another fun aspect to this book was seeing some old favorites have some action in this book, we get to see both couples from the first two books play a role and also the “grandmother” who is the Queen and boy she is a piece of work but I also really admired her too at times even if I felt she was a bit too self righteous. But boy seeing these couples grow and seeing what fun this family has together is so endearing and it was placed in the story to really balance it all out.

 

Overall I found Royally Endowed to be a stunning romantic tale that gives us a slow built emotional love story that is packed with emotion, witty laughter and enough drama to get you feeling all the feels!!WELL WRITTEN AND I can’t recommend this book enough!!

Rock Chick Revolution is the most recent full length novel in the Rock Series and came out middle of last year, and I have to tell you I had a mix of nervousness and excitement upon picking this book up because its Ren and Ally’s book and boy I had no idea what I was getting into with this one here and man Kristen Ashley rocked this book out although I almost put it down at first. But I kept up with it, so around 30% of the book is where it really starts to get good and boy I couldn’t put it down after that and stayed up later than normal to read it before bed. It’s the type of book you can let go of a good nights rest and is SO worth it in every way. And I really felt in many ways so much fun and seeing this book come to fruition was so worth the wait on it from my local library and also we get hints for Darius’ book and I can’t tell you that I want this book NOW because honestly I have wanted his book from the very beginning and some things are revealed that are the perfect teasers.

Rock Chick Revolution is a book that starts off where book Seven “Rock Chick Regret” ends with Ally and Ren having a fight at a wedding and both Ren and Ally are passionate and stubborn people so we definitely see them have their share of fights. But Ally and Ren have had been together for a year in a “casual sex” type of arrangement but its way more deeper than just casual sex for either of them but Ally knows that Ren has had certain interests in other women including a rock chick or two and it really pushes her off the edge. So we are taken back to the beginning of their relationship, when they first hook up and the amazing sex they have and all the times they get together for the year and what really develops their relationship and also Ally’s mission to be a private investigator on the side from her two other jobs. But then we are taken to the present where there is more danger for Ally and Ren is pissed and her family is furious when they learn about their relationship and her plans to start her own P.I firm. But Ally is just like her brothers and that being a P.I. is in her blood and its her passion and she needs it like she needs to breathe and she does have some help from Darius and others that steer her right and help with her training and she is really good at what she does and dealing with her relationship with Ren is full of hills and mountains but she finds a beautiful love with Ren but it won’t be easy to keep.

As for my family, Ren was Ren and his family was his family and mine were who they were and usually this would be a Romeo and Juliet type of scenario. But I wasn’t big on Shakespeare so my family was also just going to have to deal.

Rock Chick Revolution is a story that tugs at your emotions in such a crucial way and I will be honest that I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this story as much as I did. At first, I even almost put this book down, and I have never done that with a Kristen Ashley novel but yeah I wasn’t really a fan of Ally to be honest. I don’t really connect with “fling/Casual Sex” starters in a romance and so I didn’t really understand why Ally was in such denial about her relationship with Ren in the beginning of the book because she is in denial about her relationship. But we do see how Ren does set her straight about what is really going on between them and somehow they have kept their relationship quiet for a YEAR from the Rock Chicks and I had no clue how she kept it hidden but when it becomes revealed she has some repair work to do with her family and the Rock Chick gang because she has hurt many people that love her and don’t understand why she has kept so many secrets from them. But we see how great these two characters are for each other, and even though Ren isn’t fully on board with her goal in getting in the same business as her brothers, he understand why its so important to her and why she needs it so much. Ren has his own issues that he is dealing with of course, we see how he is trying to become fully legitimate and work with Marcus in their own business. (If you don’t know who Marcus is, he is the hero in the first book/novella who is Daisy’s husband) Now Ren’s uncle Vito (who is like a father to him since his birth father was killed ) but runs a crime business, and even though Ren knows what his uncle is into, he has stayed as clean as possible and his business is fully legitimate but he knows that Vito wants to have Ren take over, but Ren doesn’t want that for himself, he wants to stay clean especially now that he has found the woman he wants to keep for life. Ren is such a wonderful hero though, and even though he makes his own mistakes especially where Ally is concerned, he also fights for her and what they have found together. He never stops believing in her or being her support when she needs him.

You’ve got your way, the way you are and the way you are with the ones you care about. And that tells me, a man gets in there, you give that to him, the children you give him, that man will be all kinds of lucky. And I’ve decided we’re gonna see if that man is me

In this book we see such a beautiful story and what I have loved about these books is that we see the “falling in love” a bit more early on in the book and there is so much depth of emotion as we see their love grow and see them fight against some evil characters and bad dudes. The character growth in this book is mostly felt with Ally though. She knows her stuff for sure, but she also has a learning curve and something to prove but we see what a natural she is to the business but her biggest challenge is convincing her brothers Hank and Lee of that. But we see how many of the men from Lee’s team is in full support especially when they see her in action and how good she is at handling stressful situations. We see some plot devices that become revealed to the reader and we also see the relationship between Ren and Ally just become more vital to the story and seeing their bond develop was a beautiful journey.

Overall I found Rock Chick Revolution to be a wonderful addition to the series and I can’t wait to see what Kristen Ashley does in future books and I dearly hope she keeps going because I love this world that she has created and the bonds of friendship and love we find in each book!! A tale of happy endings and the belief in fairy tales!!

This is the second book in the Royal trilogy and I have to say that I was super stoked for this story, and I loved the first and last book in the trilogy and I was very curious to see how this author would handle the “bad boy” of the princes and boy it was handled amazingly well and a bit different than you would expect actually. This is a mix of a marriage of convenience, slow burn and enemies to lovers type of set up to the romance and Halle handled these trope very delicately for this couple and I admire her approach to these books. Because each book is a bit different and has a unique dynamic in the situation for the pair so you never see copy cat type set ups.

 

In The Wild Heir we have a story where our hero, Prince Magnus of Norway, is a bit of a wild card. He loves extreme sports and drinking and crazy nights of wild sex with unpredictable women. There is a recent event where a sex video is released with Magnus and the daughter of the Prime Minister and this is the last straw. His father needs him to take his place as King because he has major health issues and to help protect the family from further embarrassment he is ordered to find a wife and marry her. They give him a list of royal women in Europe and that he needs to pick one to marry and soon. So he goes for the most normal looking of women that he feels would make a good match for him.

 

Princess Ella, is going to the University in Scotland and is pretty down to earth. She has been separated from her family most of her life. Sent to schools away from home but then she receives a notice from her father to visit the royal family for a weekend in Norway as they have invited her for some special occasion but her father doesn’t explain what is really going on. When she arrives though there is an awkward moment between Ella and Magnus because she so doesn’t like him at all. She doesn’t go for the manwhore bad boy’s, and that is all she sees Magnus as at first but when she learns that she is his choice for marriage, she is shocked and doesn’t handle it too well. But she also begins to see some good hidden qualities about Magnus, and decides since her father is pushing this and she doesn’t want to disappoint him she offers Magnus two weeks to see if they could handle being together and she will give him his answer at the end of the two weeks. What turns into a marriage of convenience turns into a battle of wills of love and desire….

 

The Wild Heir is such a wonderful and playful story and I really had a blast with this book. I will see that at first, I didn’t really feel the chemistry between these two. Ella was a bit too self righteous for me and Magnus was too conceited and arrogant at times but we begin to see the outer shells of their characters fall off and see the true essence and once we see the heart and soul of these two that is when Halle really pulls you into the story and makes you fall head over heels in love with them. I loved their sexy banter and how they hate/like each other in the beginning. But there is a sense of friendship that develops which slowly turns into something much deeper for them both. I really loved seeing this connection form between these two.

I’ve always had trouble focusing on the right things. I’ve had a hard time trying to pay attention to things in life that most people do. I’ve struggled to make sense of the way I see the world. But…when I see you, you’re all I see

I did have some issues with the heroine to be honest. I really struggle with self righteous and judgmental heroines and even though it's not super strong, she judges Magnus before she even meets him. And so Magnus has to show that he is different from the person he has portrayed to the world. He isn’t ashamed for enjoying life but he also knows that he has made some mistakes that have caused pain and embarrassment for his family. But we do see him have a bit of a turn around to becoming more responsible and wanting something more for his country and Ella does make him a good match because she is very driven and hard-working so they really bring out that “Yin-Yang” balance to each other.

 

Overall I found The Wild Heir to be a charming and lighthearted romance that gives you plenty of fun times, laughter and sweet sexy moments.

Scandal Never Sleeps is a book that has been on my TBR for the longest time, and when I noticed that this book was available at my local library, I instantly grabbed it up especially since I have heard such great things about this book and Anna @ Herding Cats and Burning Soap’s Review is what really convinced me to grab this book up. Its a mix if Contemporary Romance, a slice of Erotic Romance and a delicious entree of Romantic Suspense….it gave me ALL the feels!!

Scandal Never Sleeps begins with seeing six men who become best friends at boarding school, we see their close friendship and how they protect and love each other no matter what happens. There is Maddox, Connor, Dax, Romance, Zack and Gabriel. These six men became powerful and influential. But then something heartbreaking happens to one of the friends, Maddox is killed in a plane crash and now the five come together for his funeral. All five of the men are heartbroken, but especially Gabe, who was closest to Mad despite what he did to his sister. On the evening of drinking together, Gabe sees a beautiful curvy woman who is sexy and sparks fly between them and they share a passionate night together. Even though they both know that its a one night stand, there is more between them than just sex. But Gabe soon learns that Eve is actually his new employee since Mad left his business to him. And tension is high between Gabe and Eve when they learn the truth about each other, but circumstances change when Gabe is the prime suspect in MAddox’s murder and as Eve and Gabe work together to discover who killed Maddox, there is more going on than they realize and things are going to get dangerous enough to threaten their lives….

Scandal Never Sleeps is the first book in the Perfect Gentlemen series and this was such a sexy and sharp read. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but I didn’t realize at first that this book was a romantic suspense and I really enjoyed seeing this plot twist develop in the story line and how well it is balanced with the romance between Gabe and Eve. Both Gabe and Eve are intelligent and hard working people. Gabe found his family with his friends although he does have a sister he loves but was furious when Maddox got her pregnant and then broke her heart. Eve grew up in a small town and is a professional hacker and has worked hard to get to where she is now. But she also was good friends with Maddox too and knew that something was off about his death and that he was worried about something before he died.

Seeing the strength between these two characters has such a vibrant feel to the story. They are very different from each other, they live in different worlds one with Gabe being rich and famous and Eve being quiet and a bit of a nerd whose father was a police officer. We see though how they make such a great relationship together despite their different backgrounds. And seeing them discover who was behind the death of their friend really brings these two together on a emotional and intellectual level. Such chemistry these two have together and boy I loved how this book was written, definitely worked for me in every way.

Another plus that I adored seeing is the male friendships we see between the five, and they really come together in this book to track down their friends’ murderer. They each are a bit different, they all have money and connection but their lives have gone different ways. But their friendship has never died since they were teenagers who were outcasts in their boarding school and stuck together, their leader and protector Zack (who now is the President ) but these high positions and lives they lead never take away their bonds as brothers.

Overall I found Scandal Never Sleeps to be a sensual, heart stopping tale of mystery, intrigue and desire and one that will take you on one of a kind type of adventure! INTOXICATING!

Overnight Sensation is the latest release in the Brooklyn Bruisers series. I have been so excited for this series, and I got hooked on this series this past year and they are my favorite books by this author. There is something so dynamic about these books and the way that they just suck you right into a story. Overnight Sensation has a mix of forbidden love and fling and sexy hockey lovin'.

Our story begins at the Bruiser's bar, where Jason and Heidi first meet up. Jason Castro is with his buddies at their local Hockey Bar, and he meets up with Heidi, funny and sweet and a bit too drunk. So he takes her to his place to sleep it off but there is an aftermath of that night. A horrible photo is released to the press, and now Jason realizes that as much as he likes Heidi and wants her in his life, he can't have her and there are demons in Jason's past that haunt him to a point where he can't see anything but death and pain in his future and doesn't want to risk Heidi. But Heidi knows that she and Jason have something special and she is willing to fight for it. Her life isn't full of roses and daisies and struggling with issues with her father and trying to find her own independence and figure out what she want in her life.

There is so much goodness in this book and I just had a blast with this book, it was everything that I was hoping for and more. Now granted I wouldn't say its my favorite of the series, I did have a couple of issues but overall it was a enjoyable ride of laughter and character growth. Now I first want to mention how disappointed I am in this cover. The hero is hispanic descent and the model is way too white for my liking especially in the book he is described with much more darker skin so the publisher's art department failed with this cover in my book.

But lets go onto happier things. Our heroine quite frankly is spoiled. Her father is rich but she never seems to live up to his expectations. She quite college because it didn't feel right for her. She is currently working as an intern for the Brooklyn Bruisers and hoping that Rebecca will hire her on permanently as the office manager but then her father steps in when he hears about her being drunk and since he is the comissioner for the team, Rebecca has to abide by his ruling that she works the little jobs of the team. From being a Valet or working as a ice rink girl or at the hot dog station, she is beginning to appreciate the value of hard work and also starts to develop her own side business to make money since her father cut her off from her funds. I love how that even though she did grow up spoiled, she works hard and is dedicated to what she wants in life and is a fighter. She also is upbeat, personable and has a cheery personality. She always has a smile for anyone she meets and I love her zest for life.

Our hero, on the other hand is full of regrets. He lost his girlfriend in high school, when she was killed in an accident and he was away at a hockey game and he has regretted that moment and it has haunted him ever since. He doesn't have relationships ever, he just sticks with flings. But there is something he can't resist about Heidi and his resolve weakens but he isn't able to fully be her man until he lets the past go and open his heart to Heidi.

Overall I found Overnight Sensation to be a endearing, fun romance that gave me all the feels and lifted my day....a true piece of art!!
