Read My Review!

5 Incredible Stars!

If you know me, then you know that I am a huge fan of QB Tyler, and her books. I have literally read and loved every single one. They have all been must reads for me, and she is an author who I can always count on for spice, so much heart, and a story that I will just want to devour. I experienced all of those feelings and more while reading this newest book by her. It brought me into a world of characters that I already love with my whole heart, it broke the rules in the best way, and it delivered everything I have come to love and expect from this author.

The Nanny Is Off Limits explores Rowan and Elianna’s story of forbidden romance. He’s a single dad in desperate need of some help. She’s a nanny who swooped in to save the day. They are both not supposed to cross that line with each other, but they can’t help but want everything with one another. throw in some glorious tension and build up, a connection that just won’t quit, and a serious level of fire between these two, and you were just scratching the surface of what brings them together. This book follows the two of them as they try to make sense of their feelings, as they give into temptation, and as they see what it all means and where it’ll have them ending up.

What I loved about this book, is what I’ve loved about every book from this author. It was equal parts, consuming, spicy as hell, and romantic in every way. There is such a level of connection to what Rowan and Elianna share. There is such a deeper meaning to it too. It’s not just about breaking the rules. It’s not just about it being forbidden between them. It’s so much more. Don’t get me wrong, all of those factors make the spice even spicier, and this author has such a way of giving that tension and angst and build up in a way that is glorious, but there is so much to these characters and I love how this author once again allows you to experience the true hearts of them over the course of this book.

Rowan was a character that I fell for from the start. He’s a single dad, whose kids recently lost their mother, and he’s just trying his best. He’s definitely at his wits end a bit, and he’s just trying to make sure that he’s there for his kids in a way that means everything. He’s also someone who hasn’t let him feel things in a long time, and being near his new nanny, brings up feelings he was not prepared for. What I loved about his character was getting to see him find himself again, getting to see him as a dad, and someone who cared with his whole heart, well also being someone who is willing to show up and be strong for everyone when it truly mattered. That man was the best and there is no resisting him. I promise you that. I fell for him in chapter 1, and I just fell even harder the more that I got his story, the more I saw what he felt for Elianna and the way he was a father, and just the more that I got to spend time with him. He truly is the best.

Now Elianna’s character was another one that I loved from the start. She has the biggest heart, she is so good with kids, and she is used to taking care of everyone. As an oldest daughter myself, I related so much to the strength that she had, the determination she had to make sure everyone else was okay first, and the good hearted stubbornness and tenacity she had. I think what I loved most about her character is that while she was so strong, there was also such a level of vulnerability to her. She showed that fiercely with Rowan and he was able to peel back those layers for her to be honest and to be true and to be yourself. I loved that. I also loved that she completely owned, who she was, what she wanted, And she did it with a heart that was so full of love. That woman steps in to help and has the best intentions, and I loved getting to spend time with her over the course of this book.

These two definitely have an absolutely fiery connection through every page of this book. It’s consuming. It’s all encompassing. It’s unforgettable. They are meant to be. Even when it breaks all the rules, even when they have to have the hard conversations, and even when things get a little bit complicated, they are it for each other. You feel it in your bones. And that is just one of the many things I love about how QB Tyler writes her romance books. She shows you why her characters must be together, and why they have to find their way. I felt that from the very start with these two and that feeling never waned throughout this entire book…and it was glorious.

I also have to say that the incredible side characters of this world made my heart so happy. I loved Uncle River and I’m already counting down the days till his book because I need it in my life right now. But I also just loved Margot and SJ and Isla. Those three definitely bring the humor, the life, and the banter to the story, and I loved getting to see the dynamic between those three tiny, and not so tiny, humans, with their dad and with Ellie. They bring such a lightness and such a level of fun to the story, but also so much heart with everything they’ve gone through. This author really does their journey justice in a way that feels authentic and real and true.

I truly can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this book. It delivered everything and then some. The spice was spicy, the feels were feeling, and the heart was there in every bit. I loved getting to see these characters fall for each other and experience everything that came their way as they felt Everything for one another. I loved getting to be there as they finally gave into what was right in front of their faces. I just loved them and what they shared. It was raw, it was real, it was intense and tie, and it was just them. It was them in the most wholehearted and authentic way, and I loved getting to be in every part of it.

QB Tyler throws you into the thick of it with her characters and it truly is the best. She invests you in them, she makes you get them and believe in them and love them with your whole heart, and she shows you why they must find their way. You feel that through every single turn of the page in The Nanny is Off Limits and it is truly the best. It consumes you, it reels you and fiercely, and it has you believing in everything that could be between these characters. It also has you blushing something fierce. And honestly, that’s just part of what I loved so much about this book.

If you were a fan of this author, then you will love this book. It is single dad, falling for the nanny, age gap, forbidden romance goodness. It ticks all the boxes, it delivers the spice and feels, but more than that, it delivers an incredible and fantastic love story from start to finish. Rowan and Elianna feel absolutely everything for each other in this book and you will love getting to see them explore what that means, where it’s all going to go, and what that will bring the two of them as long as they’re willing to take a chance and break the rules.

This is a must read romance that will make you blush, make you smile, and make you feel at all. And honestly, that’s just part of what I loved about it so much. This is another incredible read by this author, and I am already looking forward to the next time I get to read her words because I can never get enough of what she creates with her characters, with her stories, and with her incredible romances.

Releasing Now: Never Been Worse by Morgan Elizabeth

Posted in Books I love, Releasing Now Book Addicts, Review Post by

Never Been Worse by Morgan Elizabeth  is now live! 

Harper Abbott’s reputation has never been worse. The one time she tries to be spontaneous ends with her and her two best friends getting arrested for a prank gone wrong. Now, her cheating ex and his new girlfriend are on a mission to ruin her fledgling career as a fashion designer.

Wes Holden, guitarist for Altas Oaks, was pleasantly surprised to find out the charity date he was wrangled into was won by Harper, the woman he’d been quietly into for years. When he hears about the trouble she’s facing, he has the perfect solution: they should get married. His band needs a distraction in the media, and he could help her designs get more exposure.

With another leap of spontaneity, Harper agrees and is thrown into the limelight. Soon, what started as a mutually beneficial fake agreement starts to become more, and Wes finds himself working to convince her to give them a shot while Harper struggles to keep the full truth of her breakup—and its repercussions—under wraps.

*****5 Utterly Incredible Stars*****

Morgan Elizabeth has firmly cemented herself as one of my new favorite authors. I have recently binge read almost all of her entire back list and I have been blown away by what this author creates with her words. Her books are a joy to read. They are equal parts, funny and spicy and swoony and just incredible. They are romantic comedy goodness, and I have loved every single book of hers. They have all been five star reads and I have just been overjoyed getting to spend the time that I have with all of her characters, their antics, and their love stories.

Simply put, this author is one of my favorites, and I was beyond excited to read this book.

Never Been Worse had some of my all-time favorite tropes in it. But more than that, it had an incredible love story that I could not put down. This book was honest, it was vulnerable, it was funny as hell, it was spicy as all get out, and it enamored me with this couple and their connection. I mean, I was a melted puddle of goo reading this book and watching these two fall for each other, and I was here for every second of it. The way that Wes loves her with his whole heart from the very beginning, and the way that she is able to find herself and find her heart again after going through so much was perfection.

Those two were beyond meant to be. They may have come together in the most unorthodox of scenarios, but they were written in the stars. They were meant to be. They were endgame. You know that in your bones reading this book and I loved getting to be with the two of them as they realized how real it was between them. I mean, we definitely knew it was real the whole time, and it took Harper a hot second to get there herself, but getting to be with these two as they fell, as they felt it all, and as they willingly gave in to the epic of their connection and fire together was truly nothing short of everything.

I truly cannot say enough good things about this book. It truly had everything I love about a romance novel, but especially one from this author. The banter was perfection. The fire and connection between this couple and the build up to them giving into that and sharing it was chef‘s kiss. Couple that with the fact that it was a revenge story, a marriage of convenience that was so real that it would pass any lie detector test with flying colors, and the fact that these two had an undeniable level of connection… And I was smitten. I was more than smitten because I loved everything about them, everything they were sharing and building together, and the way that they continue to show up for each other in every way that mattered.

One of my favorite aspects of this book was Harper‘s character. I really connected to her, her honesty, and her vulnerability about the challenges she faces after the end of her previous relationship, after realizing she blindly put her faith and trust in the wrong people, and as she tried to figure out what was real and what was not, was everything. Her journey and her character was so real to me. I felt such connection to everything she goes through in this book and what it’s like to feel like you’re restarting your life when everybody else around you has firmly cemented theirs. The way that she wants more, the way that she realizes that she deserves more, and the way that I was able to connect to her character through this author‘s words as she fights for the life and the love that she’s always deserved was absolutely wonderful. And beautiful as all get out.

I loved that girl with my whole heart reading this book, and not only that I connect with her struggles and her journey that she goes on in this book, I was rooting like hell for her through every page. I wanted her to succeed. I believed in her. I wanted to be friends with her. She’s that fantastic and likable and real of a character that I felt all of those strong connections and feelings. And honestly, that’s just part of what I loved about her character and what I got with her throughout this book. Morgan Elizabeth truly has a knack for making her characters the people you want to be best friends with and Harper was no different. That girl is strong and resilient, and definitely knows how to dish some revenge, and I loved every second I got to spend with her.

Now not to be done, Wes Holden pretty much stole my heart from the very first moment I met him. From the very first book in this series, it was a parent that Wes had something there for Harper. But when you finally get into his head in this book, and you realize that that man has fallen hard and deep for Harper, there is no resisting him. Couple that with the fact that he is the most protective gem of a man on this planet, the fact that he would do anything for that girl, and the fact that he is willing to put in the hard work and play the long game to make her his was nothing short of perfection. That man is the best. End of.

I have loved every hero by this author, but Wes might be my new favorite. He just had such a way about him. The way that he was so honest and real at all times with how he felt about Harper, the way he showed up for her, showed up for his friends, and the way he showed up for every challenge that came their way was utterly fantastic. And I’m not going to lie, getting to spend time with a rockstar covered in tattoos, who loves with his whole heart and isn’t afraid to be so real about those feelings and fight like hell for the woman he loves was absolutely swoonworthy. It was everything and then some and that man is truly a gem with a heart of gold.

Like I said, I could not put this book down with these two. I was beyond consumed in everything they were building together, I was here for every moment of their “fake “relationship, and I was absolutely blown away by what these two give each other. What these two share is very very real, it is built straight from the heart, and it is romantic AF. There is no resisting Harper and Wes and what they share in this book. I promise you that. Every moment with them will have you rooting with everything that you have that these two will find their way and that they will give into everything they’re sharing.

I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the fact that Jules and Ava make up the best trio with Harper and I could spend 17 more books with those three. Their antics are everything, their banter is joyous, and the way that they show up for each other and create the most solid friend group was incredible. Getting to see the two of them with their respective spouses, getting to see the found family of characters that all of these characters have created together, and getting to be there through every antic and fun filled moment and crazy revenge plot was fantastic.

And so damn fun.

This book just made me so happy. I cannot say that enough. All of this author’s books have brought out this feeling in me as I’ve read them, which is just part of the reason I love them all so much, but this one truly might just be my new favorite. It was so incredibly written, it was consuming in every way, and I just loved what I got with these characters. Revenge, fun, spice, love, and all the glorious swoon. What’s not to love?

Never Been Worse is what love stories and romantic comedies should be. This book proved that to me again and again. This book was so fun, it was so heartfelt and genuine at times, so swoony and romantic at others, and it just highlighted how incredible love can truly be. The love you find with your friends and those you chose to build your life with, the truest love you can build out of something you thought might not even be real, and the love that you find within yourself when it really matters.

This book is definitely going down as one of my favorite reads of this year, and I truly cannot say enough good things about it. This was not only the perfect conclusion to a series that I’ve loved, but it was another utterly incredible read by an author who is one of my favorites. This book Was everything I needed. My heart was so happy reading it, and I loved everything I got with these characters. Wes and Harper bring everything to the pages of this book, they deliver it so vulnerably and sincerely, and you cannot help but love them and root for them and want every good thing for them while reading their story. And honestly, that’s just part of what makes this book so incredible, so romantic, and so phenomenal to read and experience.

I highly recommend this book and every other book by this author. You will love everything about how she creates her love stories and what she infuses into her words. There is such life and color and vibrancy to what she creates that it makes such a magical reading experience that will just make you unbelievably happy. I can’t say that enough. Throw in the fact that there are some incredible Taylor Swift references, the best kind of revenge plot lines, and just so much fun and love to be had, and you will just love it all. I promise you that.

Never Been Worse is a marriage of convenience story that will have you knowing from the very first page that everything between this couple is so incredibly real, and that everything they’re building together is meant to be. You will swoon with these two, you will feel it all, you will laugh your ass off at times, but more than that you’ll believe in everything that they’re sharing together and fighting like hell for. This book is what romance novels are made of and it is perfection. I can’t say that enough!

Run yourself to this world, these incredible characters and their love stories, and all the romantic comedy goodness this author’s fantastic words have to offer. It would be wrong not to.

Releasing: April 23, 2025
Cover Designer: Emily Wittig Designs

Hawthorne Mills is supposed to be my chance to start over with my brothers. Becoming their guardian wasn’t the plan, but I’ll do anything it takes to keep them from being put in the system. Even if it means raising two teenage boys when I’m only twenty-three.


There’s one thing I don’t expect.


Caleb Thorne.


He’s literally descended from the founding family of the town and practically royalty here.


And also my new neighbor.


Which makes him privy to every screw up I make trying to navigate being a parental figure to my younger brothers.


It should be easy enough for me to avoid him but he’s annoyingly persistent in wanting to help me. I call it pity even if he insists it’s not.


The worst part is there’s undeniable chemistry between us and the more time we spend together the harder it becomes to resist.


But nothing good in my life has ever lasted so I fully expect Caleb to be another of those temporary things.


Especially when my past demons finally catch up with me.

Releasing Now: Here and Now by Corinne Michaels

Posted in Books I love, Releasing Now Book Addicts, Review Post by

Here and Now by Corinne Michaels is now live! 

I’ve crafted my new life in Ember Falls with two simple rules: maintain superficial relationships and always be ready to run.

But when my son’s incredibly hot hockey coach Miles Anderson walks in, things get very, very complicated.

With his charming smile and our accidental dates, he’s the exact opposite of any man I’ve ever dated. That should make saying yes to being with him simple, but nothing in my life is easy.

In fact, it’s a mess.

Miles makes me smile and treats my son like his own. When we’re together, I forget about my troubles and dream of a life that I will never be able to have with him.

It’s only a matter of time until the past comes knocking and I’ll have to leave, breaking us both in the process.

***** 5 ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE STARS *****

It is not a secret that I am a big fan of Corinne Michaels and her books. I have literally read every single one of them and they have all been five star reads for me. She is one of my favorite authors for a reason. I can always count on her to write an incredible romance that has the swoon, the heart, and feels, that brings the banter and incredible characters, and that will just give me one hell of a love story. Every book of hers has delivered that and more and this one was no different. In fact, it was more because everything I got with Miles and Penelope in their book was perfection.

Simply put, I loved every incredible word of this book.

I’m melted into a puddle of goo with these characters and what they shared together. I also laughed my ass off with the antics of this friend group and small town, while also simultaneously falling head over heels for the magic and love that grew and blossom between these two. Their love story is truly beautiful. It is consuming in the best way, and it is the definition of finding that right person at the exact right time you need them. It is a story of finally letting yourself feel and have all that you’ve been scared to let yourself find for all these years. It is a love story, built on truth and longing and connection that will steal your heart in every way possible.

Miles and Penelope had the most indescribable level of connection that I could not get enough of. I loved those two. I loved that he immediately was attracted to her and wanted everything with her. I also loved that she felt the same, but kept him on his toes, pushing back at every chance she got. I loved that these two were determined to hold on to what they felt. I loved that even though both of these characters had experiences in their lives that made them feel a bit of trepidation about giving into what they felt for one another and the incredible connection they shared, they both were completely honest and real and vulnerable about what they felt and shared together. When it really mattered those two were it. They were wholly real with themselves and each other, and I love getting to be in the thick of that with them.

It was everything.

Miles and Penelope were truly the best.

I loved that she was doing everything she could to protect her son and herself. I loved that while she was trying to protect her heart from all of the hurt that the world might try to bring it, that she couldn’t help but feel what she did for Miles and hope that in another life she would get to experience it all with him. I loved how honest and real she was with herself and with him. I loved that she tried to push away her feelings for Miles, but they just came back full force, even harder every time she tried to push him away. I loved that Penelope was so strong and willing to do whatever it took for her child and his safety. I loved the connection she had with this small town and her brother and every character she met. I loved just how genuinely good of a character and person she was and that shined on every page of this book. I loved that I just felt beyond connected to her while reading and that I just rooted like hell that she would allow herself to feel the love that Miles so willingly wanted to give her because she deserved everything. And then some.

I’m pretty sure Miles stole my heart from the very beginning. That man is a man of his word. He loves with his whole heart, he feels with everything he has, and even though he himself has also experienced trauma in his life, he was ready to fight for who and what he truly wanted. He was willing to put in the work and the time to show Penelope and her son that he was at and that they were meant to be a family. He was willing to do the work and face truth about his own experiences in order to have the love that he is so desperately wanted and deserved. I loved that man with my whole heart. I loved how resilient he was. I loved the banter that man could deliver. I loved how he was also just a genuinely good person with a heart ready to love and fight for those he cared for. I loved that he was willing to do whatever it took and wait out his time for Penelope and Kai because he knew that he wanted them. He wanted their love and he wanted what could be, and he was willing to do what it took and wait, however long it might be, for a chance at having the two of them. I loved that it was the little things and the big things he did that showed his true heart. I just loved him. He is truly a gem of a character and I dare you not to fall in love with him in this book.

Spoiler alert, that’s an impossible task.

Now I have to say the town of Ember Falls might just be my new happy place. These characters are the best. The banter they all bring, the dynamics at play, and the true level of friendship they all share is truly something special. I can’t say it enough. I could read their text message threads for the rest of time and die a happy girl. I could also be at their disc jockey practices for the rest of time and continue laughing until my cheeks hurt because that is just how incredible they all are.

There wasn’t a moment in this small town with all of these characters that I didn’t love and cherish. This place is truly something special and Corinne Michaels creates a world you never want to leave. She has such a way of creating that small town magic that feels real and tangible and just genuine. It makes me want my own version of Ember Falls. It makes me long for the connection these characters all share and the way they show up for each other. It honestly just wows me every time I read one of her books how she creates that magic with the town and characters that she creates, and this book just brought all of that back in the fiercest and best ways.

This book and the series and this small town create a found family of sorts that is truly something special. You feel that in your bones with this friend group, and every new journey and book and moment with them is the one that I truly can’t get enough of. Those characters know how to push each other‘s buttons, but they also know how to show up for each other and truly care. I love every moment I get with this friend group and the family they’ve created, and I truly can’t say enough how utterly fantastic it is to spend an entire book with them. It is simply the best, and this friend group definitely brings the laughs and heart to every moment they’re together.

I also have to say that one of my favorite parts of reading a book by this author is how all of her books connect in some way. They’re little things, but it makes the best reading experience. I won’t share too much about this connections because if you’ve read her books, you deserve to enjoy those moments for yourself, but trust me when I tell you that those connections and the way that it all comes together is absolute perfection. This author has been one of my favorites for quite some time, and getting glimpses of former characters and former places that have stolen my heart through her words, has truly been the best.

Here and Now was an absolutely beautiful love story. It encapsulated a romance that was full of feeling and swoon and so much heart. This book is ready to welcome you with open arms to Penelope and Miles and all that could be between them. It’s in those soft and sweet moments that these characters really shine and show up for each other. It’s where you really see how perfect they are for one another and how they will do anything to see each other through. Couple that with a level of suspense that adds that spark and such consuming feeling to what you’re reading, and you have just part of what I loved about this book.

Miles and Penelope share a connection that truly lights off the page, and getting to experience their love story as they feel what they do, as they share it all so honestly and vulnerably, and as they continue to show up for one another in every way that matters, was absolutely everything in this book. I have fallen deeper and deeper in love with this series, and this small town, and this couple just showed me again and again why I loved every part of their love story. They are magic and they are so meant to be, and you will feel that in the deepest part of your heart reading this book. I promise you that.

This is definitely going down as one of my favorite romance reads of the year, and I for one I’m already chomping at the bit for more of this series and small town. Corinne Michaels truly has a way of creating magic with her words and it is the absolute best to experience. She knows how to make her characters real, she knows how to consume you in every bit of their connection and emotions and everything they share, but more than that, she just puts you in the heart of her stories and small towns in a way that is truly everything. I have loved everyone of her books and this one might just be my new favorite. Because it delivered absolutely everything with Miles and Penelope that I could not get enough of.

Their love was beautiful, it was true and honest, and it was just completely wholly them from start to finish. Those two truly are something special and I loved every part of what they built together in this book. It is an easy, and they definitely have to face their share of hard conversations in this book to find their way, but they make it so worth it. And they show you through every turn that they are meant to be and worth fighting everything for.

This is another must read by this author, and it continues to show how thoughtful and amazing she is as a writer and storyteller. She does these characters and their story justice, and she just brings you a love story that will drown you in feels in the best way, while having you believe in everything that could be between these characters. There is magic in this small town and beauty to be had, and you will just love every second you get with these characters. Trust me when I say this is your new must read romance and that you will love every moment you get with these two in their absolutely incredible and amazing love story.

I know I did. So damn much.

I honestly can’t recommend this book, this series, or any other book by this author enough. She is an incredible writer and brings her love stories to life in the most unforgettable way. Her books have given me the most incredible reading experiences over the years, and this one was no different. It was truly the best of everything, and my heart is still with Miles and Penelope and everything they shared together. And I truly don’t think I want it back because those two and Kai just captured it so completely in this book, that it’s just theirs. And I’m completely okay with that.

*****4.5 INCREDIBLE STARS*****

The Until Series by Aurora Rose Reynolds is my happy place. I have been reading these books for over 10 years now and they still own my heart. Every new character, every new couple, every new generation, my heart is there. I am in it with these characters and their journeys. I am in it for the boom, I am in it for the feels and swoon, and I am definitely in it for all of the incredible moments I’ve gotten along the way with these fantastic characters. This family truly owns a very special place in my heart and every new journey with them is one that I treasure.

I can’t say it enough.

Bax and Olivia’s story was everything my heart needed. It was sweet and spicy and swoony. It had suspense and drama, and kept me hooked. It just had that magic that I come to love and expect from this author. But more than that, it just felt good to read and experience this love story. It felt real. It felt right. It felt meant to be. And I loved every second of getting these characters’ story. They felt like they were exactly where they needed to be and who they needed to be through every part of the story as they found their way to loving one another. These two fought for each other, they were true to each other and themselves, and there was just something so inherently right about what they shared.

I truly cannot say enough, how much I loved every single second of what I got with them in this incredible love story.

What I love about Aurora Rose Reynolds’ books is that she just makes them so enjoyable. They are truly like coming home. They feel welcoming, they feel like the place I’m meant to be. I love getting to journey with her characters no matter the world or story, and this one was no different. I loved that this story gave me two characters who had some odds stocked against them, but who were determined to find their way and to let their hearts feel what they did. I loved that this book had so much suspense and action woven so fantastically through it. I loved that there was such realness and vulnerability to what these characters shared and how they shared it with one another. I loved that this family felt like my family and how I got another story with them that showed me I wanted everything with them.

It was truly everything. And then some.

This book just solidified my love of this series and what this author creates with her characters. I felt like I was in the story with these characters, swooning and falling head over heels for the love they were creating. These two truly see each other, and while they definitely have their fair share of bumps and hurdles to overcome, they feel beyond meant to be from the first moment you meet them. That coupled with their connection, the fire that burns between them, and every bit of emotion they share, is just scratching the surface of what you’ll love in their love story.

Bax and Olivia delivered it all. They gave an incredible romance from start to finish that I just loved. I loved every bit of this book and completely devoured it. I read it in one sitting because I just loved these characters and their story and this world and everything I got within it. It was truly everything I hoped it could be.

Aurora Rose Reynolds continues to show that she is one of my favorite authors and that this series is one of my all-time favorites. I loved this addition to this series and as sad as I am to know that there’s only a few more books left in this world, I know that this author will continue to deliver incredible stories in this series and in any other series she writes because she is an outstanding writer and storyteller. She puts you right in the heart of the story, she welcomes you in with open arms and pulls you into it all fiercely, and she shows you that her characters are soulmates. You know that, and feel that and believe that with your whole heart through every word of her books, and that is honestly just part of what I love about them all so much.

Until Bax had it all. It was an incredible romance. It had the feels and the spice and the heart. It had suspense and action and an alpha male. But more than that, it had two characters who were right for one another, and who fought for one another every chance they had. It was an incredible love story from start to finish with Bax and Olivia and I can’t say that enough. I loved every bit of their story and I cannot wait to see more of what this author writes and creates because she is truly one of the best!

Releasing Now: Wildflowers and Wide Receivers by Kathryn Andrews

Posted in Books I love, Releasing Now Book Addicts, Review Post by

Wildflower and Wide Receivers is a second-chance, contemporary sports romance about our hero who unexpectedly becomes a single guardian over his five-year-old niece and the one who got away.


When fate throws a second chance . . . catch it.
Jonah Dallmann
Over two years ago, I met a woman on New Year’s Eve, and it was the best night of my life. That
is until the next morning when it became the worst.
One voice message. One swerve over a double yellow line. One little girl, my niece, that’s now mine.
It hasn’t been easy, these things never are, but we’re trying. Now, I’m twenty-six, and determined to be
the best wide receiver on our team, while she’s seven and spends her days reading books and dancing
ballet.
Only, I haven’t just grieved the loss of my brother, but her too. My heart has ached for what could have
been, and what I had to let go. I know what I did to her was wrong, unfortunately, I never had an
opportunity to explain that at the time I thought I was right. But as the door opens and she steps in
wearing green scrubs and a long white coat, shock ripples through me and hope that I might finally get
the chance.
Sophie Black
I always wondered if this day would come, but I never expected to see him here, with her, in one of my
patient rooms. He’s even better looking than I remember and giving off single dad vibes, too, as he
cares for his adorable niece. A niece I didn’t know he had.

I was surprised when he asked if he could see me again, but I instantly declined. Fool me once, shame
on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Only now we keep running into each other, and I’m confused. Is
fate throwing us a second chance, and if so, should I catch it?

*****5 Utterly Incredible Stars*****

It is absolutely no secret that Kathryn Andrews is one of my favorite authors of all time. I have been reading her books for over a decade now, and she has consistently delivered phenomenal romances that have stolen my heart, that have given me unforgettable and dynamic characters, and that have brought to life the most consuming love stories I’ve had the pleasure of reading. She is one of my favorite authors for a reason and every time I start to read one of her books I just fall in love with her writing and what she creates with her character so authentically. When I sit down to read a book by her, I know I’m going to feel and live and experience every breath of what she creates and that is honestly just part of what I love about her books so much.

From the very first page of Wildflowers and Wide Receivers, I was addicted. I was hooked. I was consumed. I was in it with all that I had with these characters. Jonah and Sophie stole my heart. From that very first moment, from that very first night of the two of them, I was in it with them. I was invested. I was ready to get everything with them. I was here for it all. That just shows you what this author creates from the very start that you feel that in your heart and soul from that very first page. There is just truly something right about them. Those two are soulmates. They are the definition of right person wrong time. They are two people who have an incredible night, who lose touch for the most heartbreaking reason, and who find themselves back together again with a second chance at it all.

And that second chance? It’s absolutely beautiful.

It’s authentically and so breathtakingly real and emotional. It’s romantic and spicy and utterly unforgettable. It’s special and sweet and just so so good. It’s them. It’s them in the BEST way, and I truly can’t say enough, how much I lived for every breath of their second chance together.

This book is all about what happens when the most unexpected things happen in your life. It’s about how you pick yourself up when everything feels lost and broken. It is a story about accepting what feels right and fighting for what you want and need with your whole heart. It is a story of discovery that letting go of what you thought would be will sometimes bring you to the place you were always meant to be.

This is a story full of heart, full of longing and connection, full of joy and heartache and second chances. It is a story of two people who have a deeply felt connection finding their way back to one another at the exact right time they’re meant to do it. It is a story of the beginning of a family, the beginning of a possibility, the beginning of more. It is a story that will truly touch every part of your heart, and that will have you believing in the magic of love and second chances.

Simply put, Wildflowers and Wide Receivers is an emotionally unforgettable and deeply romantic story of 2 people finding their way back to each other at the exact right time when their hearts are ready to see what could be.

Now I have to say that Jonah and Sophie stole my heart from the very start of this book. I’ve said that already and I could say it a million times over and it still wouldn’t be enough. Because when I tell you, I was so wholeheartedly invested in them, pulled into everything with them, and rooting for the two of them with all that I had, I mean that so much. I loved these two. I loved who they were as people. I loved what this book showed with them. I loved getting all of the pieces of them and who they were and who they wanted to be and everything in between. I love that. I just felt like they were so real and I just got them. This author allows you to get them and understand them in every way and it’s just very special. It allows you to feel like you’re living this book with them and that just enhances everything you get with them.

Those two are truly soulmates. They are two halves of the the same whole who were always meant to find their way back to each other. They definitely have hurdles to overcome and many a conversation to be had, but what I loved about the two of them is they were always willing to put in the work. They were always willing to show up. They were always willing to be grown ups and figure it out because they knew that there was something very special about the other. They knew that there was something very real happening between them. And even when it scared them out of their minds, even when it felt like things were stacked against them, and even when they weren’t sure what would come next, they always showed up, they were always honest, and they always felt what they did with their whole heart in the most real way.

I just loved how real everything about them and with them felt, and I really can’t say it enough. Jonah and Sophie are truly something special. I loved getting to know them and love them and experience every high and low with them. It truly felt like I was right there with Kathryn. Andrews brought it to life, and my heart cannot be more in love with what they delivered. Their story is romantic and fiery and won’t and full of life and personality, and so much heart, and I was swept up into it all in the most amazing way. I truly never wanted to leave those two because everything I got with them was incredibly beautiful, so beyond emotional and sweet and romantic, and just everything my heart needed.

I also have to say that opening up into a new series and world of characters, while also getting to revisit some very special characters from the past from this author was a delight. I am not a sports person, but I do love me a good sports romance, and this is one of the best I have read. It incorporates all the football fun, all the teammate banter and humor, and it just opens up into a world and team that I want every moment with. The guys on the team felt like my new best friends, and I am ready for every single one of them to get a book. I also loved that this story had so many connections to past characters that I fallen in love with because of this author and her words. It just felt like one big family coming together and it was everything.

I can’t say that enough.

I truly have no doubt that this series will be one of my all-time favorites. This book has already firmly cemented itself as one of my top reads of the year, and I am already chomping at the bit for more. I loved how fun this story was. I loved that there was such heart and emotion and connection to everything these characters shared. I loved that this author once again completely stole my heart with a story and a world of characters from the very first word of her book. I loved that I believed in these characters, everything they shared, and every possibility of what could be. I loved that I felt so in this story that I laughed and cried and melted and wounded and just loved every morsel and moment I got with every character in this world. it was truly unforgettable and all feeling and every other incredible thing under the sun.

It was truly the best, and the reading experience and absolute joy I got with these characters throughout this book and love story is something I will never forget.

Wildflowers and Wide Receivers is Kathryn Andrews at her best. It is an impeccably written and crafted love story that will steal your heart, that will bring you into a world you will never want to leave, and that will show you how meant to be Jonah and Sophie are. Years ago they shared a memorable night and this is their second chance at all. That second chance is woven together and the most beautiful and incredible and just absolutely, fantastic way that will have you believing in everything with the two of them. They are just so so special, and so so right for each other, and getting to see them finally find that right time together and put their hearts on the line was absolute perfection.

Just like the rest of this book.

If there is one book you read this year, it should be this one. Jonah and Sophie leave it all on the pages of this book and show you their hearts in th most authentic and beautiful way, and you will love it. You will love them. You will love the possibilities of what they create and the love that blooms and second chances. You will love every bit of spark and sweetness and swoon. You will just love them and this team and this world and a little girl who brings them back together at the exact right time. This story culminates a romance that truly feels written in the stars, and you will love every second of what you get with these two as they find their way back to one another.

Trust me.

Jonah and Sophie and Vivi are the real deal, and you will love and cherish every bit of this story with them and every other character who is ready to steal your heart in this book. I promise you that! Because I know I did. I loved this book with my whole heart, and I honestly just wish I could go back and read it again for the first time because the magic and love and spark and beauty of what you get to experience so naturally and authentically with these characters is truly everything in the best way.

Kathryn Andrews has once again delivered an incredible romance in this book that will steal your heart in every way. Her words create something that is so very special and utterly incredible because she lays it all on the line and infuses that into what she gives you with her characters. She puts so much heart into the story and gives you everything and then some. She just makes it all between Sophie & Jonah feel so real, so true, and just so them in the most dynamic and genuine way possible.

There is so much more I could tell you about why you need to read this book, but honestly, you just need to go read it. You need to read it and experience it and just fall hopelessly in love with these characters and how special they are. From the moment you meet them, you will feel that and know that and just love them. I promise. And in the end, you will just be blown away by what you get with their love story because it is truly the best and the epitome of what a love story should be.

I truly can’t say that enough.

Releasing Now: All Too Well by Corinne Michaels

Posted in Books I love, Releasing Now Book Addicts, Review Post by

All Too Well by Corinne Michaels is now live!

For as long as I can remember, Lachlan West has been my brother’s best friend and the
love of my life. Trouble is, he kissed me four years ago and then never spoke to me again.

I was doing great pretending he doesn’t exist until I was assigned to write an article
about former college athletes and I learn that the sexy single-dad is my first interview.
Determined to wow my editor with an amazing sportsball piece. (Have I mentioned I
know nothing about sports?) I head to Ember Falls, ready to face my fears—and the man I love.

The grumpy quarterback turned fireman wants nothing to do with me or my article. Yet,
somehow I persuade him to let me follow him around for a few weeks, and even if he said yes just to get rid of me, I’ll take it.

But the longer I stay in his small town, the more complicated our story gets. The boundaries we set fall to the ground—along with our clothes.

He holds me like I matter, touches me like I’m cherished and kisses me like he loves me.
We both know I have to leave Ember Falls, and he’ll never follow—I only wish I could write a different ending to our story.

*****5 Incredible & Swoony Stars*****

There are many things I know to love and expect when I sit down to read a book by Corinne Michaels. I know to expect a book that will consume me in every way. I know to expect a couple that I will root for with my whole heart, and that will truly leave it all on the page of their story. I know to expect feels and spice and so much heart. I also know to expect a small town that I immediately want to spend every single second in.

Simply put, when I sit down to read a book by this author, I know with my whole heart that I’m about to read a new favorite book.

Every single one of her books has been a five star read for me. I have been reading her stories and words for almost 10 years at this point and I am hooked. I am hooked and I just want everything with her characters, their stories, and the magic that she infuses into every new love story she creates. I have truly loved every single book by this author, and I just have to say that All Too Well and the small town of Ember Falls is my new favorite place to be.

This book, along with Lachlan and Ainsley and Rose, completely stole my heart. I mean they stole it from the very first moment I met them. What starts off as two people just not finding the right words and the right time, soon becomes a romance that melted my heart in every way. I loved every part of this book and story. I loved the longing between these characters. I lived for the connection that was there with them and every moment. I loved getting to see how their relationship changed from those moments in the past, to the present, to all of that hope for the future of what could be for them. I also just loved the dynamic between them and getting to be in every breath of their story.

This author put me heart first into every second of their love story in All Too Well, and I was here for every single second of it. It was truly everything, and then some. It connected me to the story in these characters, it owned me from start to finish, and it just had me knowing that these two were meant to be.

And honestly, that’s just scratching the surface of what I loved about this book and every second I spent with these characters.

Corinne Michaels truly proves to me with every new book she writes and every new small town that she creates that she is one of the best authors out there. Her words have been giving me incredible and unforgettable love stories for years now and I just love it. I truly do because there’s something special about reading a book of hers. It just feels like coming home. It feels like my happy place. Her words and what she creates for them and The characters that she so thoughtfully creates and weaves together into these small towns and groups of friends and special families it’s just everything. It truly is special and magical and it makes my heart happy. I can’t say enough what it’s like to go into a book knowing you’re going to get that and then experiencing it for yourself. It’s truly everything and then some and it is just one of the many reasons I love her books so much and why I loved this book so much.

All Too Well had all of my favorite tropes that had me knowing I would love Ainsley and Lachlan’s story. Those two have been in each other’s lives forever. They are friends, but there are something so much more between them. The problem is that she is his best friend sister and there is a lot of things they have to overcome to find their way to each other. There are definitely a few missed opportunities between them and a whole lot of longing and connection, but more than that there is just a literal rightness about the two of them when they’re together. The events of this book bring them back together in a very special small town, full of amazing characters, some very special places, and a few secrets that will melt your heart.

Over the course of this book, you get to go along with them as they dance around their feelings, as they create an even deeper connection and relationship, and as they see if what’s between them could finally find a way to be. Throw in some frisbee, the cutest little girl on the planet, and two characters trying to make sense of their own childhood and how that shaped them, and you’re just scratching the surface of what you’ll get in the story.

Over the course of this book you get to enter the magical small town of Ember Falls and meet all of the incredible characters that make that town what it is. You get moments that will make you laugh with all the banter and antics, you have moments that will make you swoon with the sweetness and the rightness of what these characters all share, and you’ll get so many moments of heart and fire and everything in between with Lachlan and Ainsley. Those two are meant to be, and you feel that in your heart the very first time you meet them on that very first page and you will love getting their story and getting to fight right along with them as they see if something is possible between them.

What I loved about those two, besides the fact that they knew how to push each other‘s buttons and drive each other crazy in the best way, was the fact that they were just so real and honest. They might not have always done it with their words, but their actions, their hearts, and the way they were with each other spoke everything about what they felt and what they shared, and what they wanted to have between them.

I loved that about them. I felt so connected into these characters and to the rightness of the two of them. There was just something inherently good about what they shared together and the two of them is individuals. I loved getting to be in both of their heads over the course of this book and getting to feel the goodness of the both of them, the rightness of the two of them finding their chance together, and getting to experience the literal magic of the two of them feeling what they did for one another.

Lachlan is a single dad who was willing to do anything for his daughter. He was also a man who felt like he was always left behind. And he didn’t want to have to say goodbye to Ainsley for that and so many other reasons. That man is a good man and he loves his daughter and he loves Ainsley with his whole heart. You know that from the very first page of this book and it is everything to see that man heal himself over the course of the story as he reconciles what he’s willing to let himself have and experience when he opens his heart.

Ainsley is a spunky reporter trying to make herself proud while also showing those in charge of her that she has what it takes. She’s also a girl who’s been in love with Lachlan for as long as she can remember. This book brings her back face-to-face with him and forces her to realize what she truly feels, what she truly dreams of, and wants for herself and her heart, and it pushes her to open herself up to a second chance. That girl is pure spitfire in the best way, and getting to see her be honest with herself and others, feel what she does with her whole heart, and fight when it really matters was truly the best.

It’s safe to say that I really loved those two and I definitely loved every moment I got with him in this book. There’s just really something special about them and what they share. You will love getting to journey with them as they find their way back to each other, as they try to build something together, and as they see if they can fight and take that risk for dreams, they’ve always wanted. Couple that with the smalltown goodness this author creates, a heavy dose of heart and emotion with what these characters figure out with themselves and their families and each other, and throw in a little banter and a heavy dose of spice, and you have the perfect small town romance that will steal your heart in every way.

That is this book and that is Lachlan and Ainsley.

Corinne Michaels has once again outdone herself with what she created in this book and with this couple and with this town. I’m already counting down the moments to when I can get back with this couple and with this small town that I already want to spend all my time in. This series has been set up to be one of my new favorites and I am just chomping at the bit for all of these characters to get their stories. I need more time with all of them and I think that just speaks to what this author creates so vividly and fantastically that I felt that in every bit of this book.

If you are looking for a romance that will feel like a warm hug, that will melt your heart, and that will show you a romance that is practically written in the stars, then you will love this book. It’s got all of the best tropes with small town, brothers, best friend, single dad, a fireman and a journalist writing an article about him, and just all of the goodness that can’t even be completely or accurately described in a single book review. This book is just phenomenal. It’s romantic, it’s spicy and swoony, it’s exceptionally written, and it just feels right. This couple, these characters, this town and everyone in it feels so right, and it truly felt special to experience this story with all of them. This is a perfect opening to a world that I can’t wait to get more of and I just love it.

I love that I got the chance to read this book, that I got the chance to fall in love with these characters and their love story, and that I got the chance to experience the magic of this small town and the people within it. I have no doubt that this author will continue to be one of my favorites and will continue to wow me with what she creates because All Too Well was just the best.

It was the best and then some.
