This is wonderful original romance with two fun, loveable main characters. Alex is very witty and full of fun and has a “gift”. He endured a very dysfunctional childhood that had my heart hurting for him at times. Bishop is also witty and fun and is a very caring person. Even though his family is extremely wealthy his childhood was very lonely.

Circumstances had them crossing paths as teens and then unexpectedly reconnecting 13 years later. Setting them on a course that involves attempting to change the fate of many people, being embroiled in a mystery from the past, romancing each other with copious amounts of humour and sweetness before achieving a hard earned HEA.

I loved the originality of this well crafted and intriguing plot. That, with the strong main characters and interesting side characters kept me fully engaged and entertained from start to finish.

I really enjoyed this best friends to lovers romance entirely due to the absolutely loveable himbo, totally oblivious, eternally happy sensitive soul that is Dex. He may not be “the sharpest crayon in the box” but he’s certainly the most joyful. It’s one of the reasons why his best friend/teammate Tripp has been pining for him since they first met 3 years ago and didn’t that pull on my heartstrings at times.

The two of them are so sweet and have so much fun together even before the PR nightmare that leads to a change in their relationship. As Dex embraces his new feelings toward Tripp the fun times turn more towards the heated variety as the chemistry between them ignites. Tripp finally gets the HEA he’s only ever imagined when Dex finally realises his feelings of love towards Tripp are real and true and forever.

This is an easy enjoyable read with a dash of angst in regard to the hockey element of the plot, two wonderful main characters and some great side characters to keep things interesting. I’m looking forward to the next in the series.

4.5 stars.

I really enjoyed this first instalment in the Monsters and Billionaires series and was so caught up in the lives of Rand and Joe that I read it in one sitting.

Billionaire Rand tries his best to emulate his father but it’s slowing destroying him as it’s so unlike who he actually is. Joe, who escaped his Mafia family’s ways, works at Rand’s company where circumstances have them crossing each other’s path and entering each other’s orbit.

The forced proximity makes its impossible for these two very endearing men not to get to know each other. When they start working together in a professional capacity Joe’s authentic way of living his life slowly breaks down the facade Rand has erected. Privately the sizzling chemistry between them explodes and brings with it lots of heat, steam with just a touch more than vanilla and sweet tender moments.

All the while Joe has the issue of his mobster family wanting to make life very difficult for him. We are introduced to some cliché mobster stereotypes, some mobsters that I just wanted to hug and hang out with, the worlds best butler and a PA who just tells it like it is. They all make up for a wonderfully interesting cast of side characters and not to forget some more billionaires who give us a hint for what’s to come in the series. This first book left me smiling and I can’t wait for more.

4.5 stars. Great read with lots of feels.

This is a wonderfully written enemies to lovers story with two really likeable MCs. Roly and Heath knew each other in High School and they were far from friends. So much so that Heath still carries a grudge against Roly all these years later.
Roly is a ex Navy SEAL who suffered a life altering incident and is haunted by how his words have hurt people in the past.
There’s definitely chemistry between them but Heath really doesn’t want there to be. The spark is fuelled by hate and when it ignites the heat definitely rises.
When you include the comedy of errors when Roly attempts to make things right between them, the supportive but meddlesome friends, lots of feels and Heath finally seeing the real Roly, you are left with a romantic HEA and a very enjoyable read.
The cast of side characters keep things interesting and I can’t wait to see whose story gets told next.
This is book 3 in the series and it can be read as a standalone. The characters in previous books do feature in this.

Once again Leland, Jackson and their merry band of mischief makers had me in hysterics. From Leland rapping, to Santa Sasquatch and more there was always something to make me giggle even in the middle of another case to solve.

A case that starts out as locating a missing girl but ends up being turned and twisted into a completely different direction. The clever way this was slowly revealed kept me fully engaged in the outcome, turning the pages needing more. The usual cast of side kicks are there assisting with solving the case and some new villains provide action, drama and a laugh or two.

All of this happens around Christmas so Leland once again has to learn how to cope with all the ‘feelings’ and family togetherness so his dramatic side does get some more time to shine, much to Jackson’s amusement. Leland also gets to shower his friends with gifts, some thoughtful and meaningful, other not so much!

As with previous instalments in this series, the focus is more on untangling the mystery and less on steamy scenes although Leland and Jackson do, at times, showcase their unique view of romance!
I cannot get enough of this superbly written series and highly recommend it.
