ALC Review- Bridesmaid by Chance by

Releases April 16
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you don’t want to be looked at like a weirdo then do not read or listen to this in public. When I tell you that I was at work laughing out loud while listening to this, I am not exaggerating. Don’t mind me over here doing my chef thing while looking like a lunatic. Sloane is a babbling maniac in the best way. She is the perfect match for Hudson and his seriousness. I love Meghan’s ability to write humor, spice, and a good story line. I will never think of a nose kiss and not laugh again.

I highly recommend the audio on this one, the narrators were fantastic. One of the best audio books I have listened to. Fantastic job all the way around.

Thank you so much to and Meghan for letting me listen to and review this amazing book.

Read the Excerpt:
Miles
I breathe out hard, giving in to the lust that grips me, the want I feel for her…my coach’s daughter.
For a few seconds, I freeze over those words—coach’s daughter.
Don’t go there again. Get it together. Stop f*&king thinking of her.
But the dick is sometimes stronger than the will.
I ignore that voice because it doesn’t matter what I do when I’m home alone. It’s what I do when I’m with her that counts. I haven’t crossed the line again. And baggage or no baggage, we’re not going to be a thing. But her admission that she looks at the pictures too? It’s what I wanted. It’s what I needed. It’s also all I can have of her.
So what’s the harm in giving in tonight?

Who else is as excited as I am for Kat Singleton’s new book?!

Callahan Hastings is relentless when it comes to getting what he wants, and what he wants is me–to be his private chef in the Hamptons for the summer.

My dream job served to me on a silver platter by one of the wealthiest members of Pembroke Hills Country Club.

The only catch? He’s my ex-boyfriend’s older brother with a reputation for being as charming as he is cunning.

But Cal doesn’t take no for an answer. He draws you in with flirty smiles and extravagant promises.

I should have seen him coming, but I didn’t. I should have stayed away, but I couldn’t.

His playful touches and burning gaze have ignited a fire in me. The more I resist him, the more irresistible he becomes.

I've always known there's an expiration date on the job–an expiration date on us.

But leaving isn't going to be easy with Cal on his knees, begging me to stay...

Audiobook review- A Thousand Broken Pieces by Tillie Cole

The book itself is beautifully written. It follows the life of Poppy’s younger sister Savannah. Poppy is the MMC from A Thousand Boy Kisses which is the first book in this duo. The story is about a group of teenagers who go on a global adventure as a form of healing. They have all been impacted by the death of someone. The adventures and lessons they learned are truly touching and I think anyone can benefit from this book.

Listening to the book was brutal because the MMC accent was so bad. The accent was bad and his voice was so whiney. I get that a lot of times he is talking he was supposed to be upset but it was just cringe to my ears. I almost DNF several times for fear that I couldn’t listen to him any longer. The MFC did an excellent job though.

I didn’t tag the author in this because I don’t want her seeing the negative post. Although her writing was wonderful, I don’t recommend the audio version. Take the time to read the book lol.

Book Review- What I Should’ve Said by

What truly amazes me about Max Monroe is their ability to write everything. These two women have put out books that have made me laugh, love, fan myself, and cry. I truly believe this is one of those stories that changes you after you read it. A beautiful reminder to cherish the moments we have. The story is eloquent and beautiful. It’s a love story of man and woman, parent and child, siblings, and friends. Not many books can make me cry, but this one had me sobbing.

This is added to one of my top reads ever and will always remain with me.

Thank you so very much to and the authors for the copy of this book.

Audiobook Review- The Proposal by
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As soon as I got the email for this book and downloaded it I popped in my AirPods and was HOOKED. The freaking chemistry between Renn and Blakey is top notch. Right off the bat you can feel the heat between them, but uh oh he is her brother’s best friend. I mean who doesn’t love a brother’s best friend romance? It’s forbidden and oh so good. I couldn’t get enough, couldn’t press pause on my phone. Narrators were excellent. I can’t say enough good things about this.

Thank you to the author and for the copy.

Audiobook Review- Truly, Madly, Deeply by

I absolutely loved this. First, the MMC is a chef, so that’s right up my alley. He is a grumpy ass who has loved the FMC forever. Both characters have serious trauma they have to overcome. The story has all the feels, the spice, the action! I loved it! Narrators did a great job too.

Ok let’s talk about The KORT Series. The entire series is 5⭐️. I was blown away when I started reading these. Brandy’s writing is phenomenal! This secret society/mafia type men are all s*xy and dangerous. All the women are bad asses.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I know as soon as Gage was introduced that something was special about him. I do believe Ivy saved the best for last. The story between Gage and Ainsley is an emotional whirlwind. It’s bittersweet that this series has come to an end, because I want more. Brandy ended this perfectly and I can’t wait to see what else she does in the future. These men will forever be some of my favorite book boyfriends!

Thank you so much and for this ARC.

🔥This is book four in The KORT Series. It’s best to start with book one, BURNING IVY, available now in KU, paperback, & Audible in DUET narration! Books two and three, CARVING GRAVES and TRACING SCARS, are also available in paperback, KU, & Audible in DUET narration!
Significant character growth, world building, and events occur in the first three novels, so books should be read in order for the best experience.

Yesterday was release day for this gem and you need to run and grab it now.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

always writes great stores and this one is no exception. I love her ability to write amazing plot and even more amazing 🌶️. The MFC lives a double life and is so likable! The story is emotional, funny, and spicy. It has it all. Charlie, Will, and Beckett (yeah you read that right 😉) are amazing. Who doesn’t love a girl who has major brains and a wild side?!

Thank you to and Elle Kennedy for the ARC.

Book Review- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If It Can’t Be Us by

This books was absolutely beautiful. Leo and Vivian are two people with different, but hard past. They form a friendship and it grows from there. Leo is a ladies man, doesn’t do commitment, a great guy but not someone you want in a partner. Vivian is a strong, beautiful, and loving woman. The relationship they have is incredible, but can it be more than just friends?

The pure realness and raw emotion in this book is beautiful. I love that it’s slow burn and two people who truly learn to know each other before anything else.

After the charming billionaire and I successfully play matchmaker, he asks me to be his fake fiancée. Saying yes might be the biggest slip-up of my life, but what are friends for?

Weston Calloway is the last man I imagined meeting after one of my boring breakups. But there he was, in a dive bar, drinking cheap whiskey, looking like my next favorite mistake. Instead of hooking up, we become secret friends.

When his jealous ex stirs up unnecessary drama, Weston asks me to go public with our friendship, but things quickly escalate and we lose control of the situation. Now, we’re roommates, and I’m wearing a diamond ring that he slipped on my finger.

This game may be fun, but we agreed to one unbreakable rule—no falling in love.

Easy, right? It should be.

The Friend Situation is a billionaire, fake dating rom-com with a happily ever after! It’s a stand-alone with open-door scenes. Included: a rich AF, respectful hero who falls first and hard but isn’t afraid to call his bestie mine.



Tropes:

💍billionaire 💍secret friends to lovers. 💍slow burn
💍reformed pl***oy 💍sassy heroine 💍he falls first
💍no 3rd act break-up 💍small-town girl & city boy
💍family saga 💍romantic comedy. 💍spicy AF scenes
💍complete stand-alone

Book Review- Vengeful Lies by and

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are used to the mafia bad ass men right? How about a bad ass hit woman? How about put the two together and make the best combination ever!

This book is a dark romance dream. Banter, blood, weapons, romance, passion, lust, s*x, chemistry, and stuff that is so wrong it can only be right. This book hooks you right away and will have you turning the pages so fast. I cannot wait to read the next in the series.

Also, thank you to , Kia, and T.L. for this awesome PR package that is pictured.
