3.5 stars.
I expected a bit of drama with this plot but it wasn’t there. No drama about the wedding being called off, no drama when the family and ex are told about the new relationship. I just found this a bit lacking in a couple of areas. Not a bad read but I guess I expected more from this author

3.5 stars.
Fluffy, low angst, drama free romance with lots of pranks between the two frat houses. Plenty of “dude-bro” behaviour that I felt wore a bit thin after a while but otherwise an enjoyable easy read with fun characters.

This is such a beautifully crafted book with smooth and seamless plot formation, perfect pacing and superb character development. Jay Hogan certainly has the ability to weave a wonderful story that grabs your heart from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until the very end.

The relationship that develops between the very likeable two main characters, Miller and Sandy, is very realistic with fun, laughter, sweet moments, heat filled moments, a bit of drama, miss steps and bumps along the way. Through it all Sandy remains true to himself and Miller emerges from a self imposed compartmentalised life of work and sport out into a life filled with colour. All aided by the fantastic cast of side characters including the couples from the previous books in the series.

Be prepared for some feels to come at you, from tugging at your heart strings to laughing out loud at some of the sassy dialogue.
If I could give this gem of a book more than 5 stars I would, it’s an absolute delight of a story that worked its way into my heart and makes me smile just thinking about it.

I love the Haven Hart series and it was so good to be once again immersed in this world and I was fully hooked from from start to finish. This instalment cannot be read as a standalone as you need to have all the background information provided in Secret Simon to understand why Rush and Simon are being targeted. And targeted they are! Lots of drama and action as the Manos family and their familiar allies come together to face and bring down another crime boss.

Even with all the shootings, kidnapping, plotting and planning, Simon and Rush still find ways to strengthen their relationship. Sometimes it’s in hot and steamy encounters and other times it sweet, tender and intimate. Their journey together may include blood and mayhem but they do come out the other side and get their well deserved HEA.

I found this to be a really enjoyable read with enough twists and turns to keep things interesting. The theme of love for family, in whatever form, once again plays a major role as does the consequences when that love is eroded. So much fun having the Haven Hart characters back together fighting for family.

4.5 stars.

Wonderful start to a new series.

This is a beautiful age gap romance between two very likeable characters - retired SEAL Cash and former child star Danny.
Circumstances bring them into each other’s orbit when Cash agrees to help out his best friend and be a bodyguard for Danny. Danny just also happens to be the younger brother of said best friend.
Forced proximity in a rustic mountain cabin lead to a journey of self discovery for Cash where he learns how to be the person he truly is, with plenty of help from Danny!
Their attraction to each other is undeniable and when the spark is lit the heat levels turn up resulting in plenty of steamy times combined with softer, tender moments.

This is a low angst read, from the romance itself to Cash embracing he’s authentic self. There’s also a dash of drama relating to the bodyguard element of the plot. I loved the way all the tropes are seamlessly blended and enjoyed this book from start to finish. I look forward to what’s in stall for the very interesting side characters!

Great “fake boyfriends that aren’t fake” read.

The two main characters in this “fake but not fake boyfriends” story are both really likeable and I was cheering them on from the very beginning.
Julian is an adorkable history professor with some quirks. When he’s socially anxious he tends to ramble and he also rambles when talking about his passion - history. Ben is the owner of the historic Stonecastle B&B and is a genuinely nice guy but the business is causing him a fair amount of stress and he’s feeling under pressure.

Circumstances have Julian and Ben living together in Stonecastle as fake boyfriends but it doesn’t take long for the spark between them to burn bright. This naturally blurs the lines of the fake relationship leading to a miscommunication that causes some angst for them both, until a grand gesture has them back on the way to their HEA.

This is the second book in the Coleridge Cliffs series and I found it to be a very easy, enjoyable read.
I put this into the low-medium heat category with a bit of angst and a romantic HEA that left me smiling at the end. We also get a sneak peek at which side characters will get their story told next.

Well written friends to lovers with great character development. Misha and Charlie are so very likeable and even when they’re both oblivious, they have buckets of chemistry. Once that spark lights the heat level dramatically rises. There’s lots of feels, lots of snark, sarcasm and witty banter that kept me turning the pages. I couldn’t put this down as I just wanted to see these 2 beautiful characters get their HEA. Highly recommended.
