This story can be found in the Something True series.  The novel can be read as a standalone.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading  The Dating Arrangement  before reading this title. Grace makes happy endings easier for all the brides she works with.  She wants someday to have an HEA of her own.  Right now the only man that makes her sizzle when she thinks of him is Xander.  Yet, he is supposed to be off limits. Xander did not expect to run into Grace.  When an incident happens, he becomes very protective and he is not sure why.  He has always been attracted to her, but he is sure she will never give him the time of day.  How do you change a stubborn woman's mind? This book was what traditional romance should be.  These characters are rich, deep and compelling.  I loved that they were opposites, who cannot stop thinking about each other.  The chemistry for them is strong.  Th...

Jack moves back to take over the bar, after his father's death.  He has no idea the surprises coming his way.  Emerson crashes into his life in the literal sense.  He finds that being around her makes everything make sense. Emerson is told repeatedly by family she is not good enough.  She has spent the last year, picking up the pieces of a failed relationship.  Jack helps her out, so she returns the favor at the bar.  Now if they can just get their timing right. This book was such a sexy slow burn.  These characters were so ready for one another and did not even know it.  I loved that reading this story made me laugh, and tear up.  Everything a romance should be.  I cannot wait to read the next installment in the new  Something True series .  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.

Blog Tour w/Review - Her Super-Secret Rebound Boyfriend

Image
  It  wasn’t  shy librarian  Lola McBride’s idea  to crash someone else’s  high school reunion. Her best  friend made her do it, insisting  that having a little fun with a super-hot  rebound would make her forget about her recent  breakup. That’s when she meets the hottest guy she’s  ever seen.   Architect  Luke Erickson  had no idea attending  his ten-year reunion would  turn out to be so fun. He  catches the sexy brunette in a  lie, and he counters with a proposal—He’ll  keep her secret if she helps get his family  off his back by pretending to be his girlfriend  at an upcoming family reunion.   From  one reunion  to another, Lola  and Luke are suddenly  spending a lot of time  together. Good thing they’re only pretending, or this super-secret relationship could get really complicated.   ...

Lola is talked into crashing a high school reunion with her best friend.  They do not really know anyone.  Before they can really enjoy the festivities, she meets a hunk who is interested in making a deal. Luke finds himself enamored with the animated Lola.  After starting to get to know her, he figures she would be an ideal woman to take to the family reunion.  His family just will not let up on the matchmaking. This pair has the banter and the sparks flying from the first moment.  The attraction is mutual.  Very sexy and fun book where I even wished for a sequel.  You are not going to want to miss this.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review by Netgalley and its publishers.

      Recently divorced Carissa Blackwell returns to her hometown and reconnects with her first love Jasper Dumont, while the ubiquitous Bayside Blogger reports their every move for the town newspaper in this delightful & playful novel by award-winning romance author Kerri Carpenter.   About Bidding on the Bachelor:   Title: Bidding on the Bachelor Author: Kerri Carpenter Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: October 1, 2017 Publisher: Harlequin Special Edition Series: Saved by the Blog #2 Format: Print/Digital Print ISBN: 9780373623792 Digital ISBN: 9781488079146   Another roll of the dice Big news, fair readers!

This is book #2, in the Saved By The Blog series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading this series in order. Jasper finds out that his high school sweetheart who dumped him is back in town.  He cannot help but be attracted to the even better looking beauty.  Even to the detriment of all his dating. Carissa just wants to start over.  She has gone back to her hometown with her tail between her legs following a divorce.  Now all she wants to do is start her own business. Sweet and funny story.  The characters are easy to relate to.  It is also kind of frustrating since the blogger could not have been in some places without being seen.  Is the author trying to tell us something?  I give this book a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.
