The Princess Plan (A Royal Wedding, #1)The Princess Plan by Julia London
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Princess Plan was quite the enjoyable read. It is the kind of historical romance that I have come to love, with it having a strong and feisty heroine in the shape and form of Eliza Tricklebank, she is a most memorable character. She is a spinster that is old enough to not care about what anyone thinks of her, and with having a strong and willful mind, she often says exactly what she thinks to anyone. When she first comes face to face with Sebastian the Prince of Alucia, he has no idea that her willful mind and way of plain speaking will be his undoing and becomes the reason for his his attraction to her.
I really liked that the story had a good plot with plenty of romance and intrigue, but also that it has a sub plot of a murder that together they try to solve. The story kept me interested and I really like the author's style of writing as it was easy to follow.

Outmatched by Kristen Callihan and Samantha Young
Release Date: November 19, 2019
Copy of Outmatched Cover .jpg
Outmatched, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by New York Times bestselling authors Kristen Callihan and Samantha Young.
What happens when a boxer finds chemistry with a geek?
Parker Brown can’t believe she needs to hire a fake boyfriend. When she landed her dream job in renewable energy, she thought she’d be entering a world at the forefront of progressive thinking. But the head boss prefers to promote employees who are “settled.” Thankfully, she’s found the perfect candidate, a fellow intellectual looking for some quick cash. What Parker gets is his protective big brother—Rhys Morgan. The tall, muscled ex-boxer with a foul mouth shows up just as her boss does, and now she’s stuck with the manipulative jerk.
Responsibility weighs heavily on Rhys. Now permanently out of the ring, he’s trying to hold together his late father’s gym and keep his younger brother, Dean, on the straight and narrow. To save Dean from himself, Rhys takes his place, ready to give this society girl a piece of his mind. Instead, he finds an opportunity. Even though they can hardly stand each other, posing as Parker’s boyfriend is a win-win deal. She gets to keep her job, and he’ll charm her star-struck boss into sponsoring his gym.
Problem is, they can barely keep their hands off each other. And what started as an easy deal isn’t so easy anymore. Because what future can a rough ex-boxer, afraid to open his heart, and a polished society geek, who has sworn off real relationships, possibly have?
They say opposites attract. These opposites are about to combust on impact.

Excerpt:
AngryTink: Hey. This is Parker. Parker Brown. My phone dinged loudly. I fumbled around my bed, finally finding the damn thing under a pillow. Wiping the sleep off my face, I rolled onto my back and read the text that had pulled me out of a pleasant sleep. I smiled. It was just so … Parker. Settling in, I answered her. RhysThis: Don’t have to tell me who you are. Your number is programmed on my phone. What do you want? AngryTink: Well, good morning to you too, Happy Pants. My smile turned into an evil grin. The girl was always going to punch back and make it count. RhysThis: That’s Mr. Happy Pants. Though, TBH, my pants aren’t too happy at the moment. Want to help me out with that? AngryTink: Tempting. Truly. But, no. RhysThis: RU sure? ‘Cuz Happy Pants Rhys is much more agreeable than Sad That He Had to Self-Satisfy Rhys. AngryTink: Would you please behave? RhysThis: I’m not the one who mentioned the emotional state of my pants. AngryTink: ARGH! A chuckle rumbled in my chest as my thumbs tapped out a response I knew would piss her off more. RhysThis: Was that even English? Honestly, Ms. Brown, I thought you were educated. She took a moment to answer. I could picture her, phone in hand, grinding her teeth. AngryTink: You’re deliberately trying to annoy me, aren’t you? RhysThis: You’re quick. I’ll give you that. AngryTink: Mr. Morgan, I’m about ten seconds away from finding an alternate fake boyfriend. A goat on a rope would be a better candidate at this point. It was cute she thought that was threatening. RhysThis: Yeah, probably. But the goat doesn’t have a signed contract. I do, Tinker Bell. AngryTink: ARGH@!! RhysThis: You’re kind of cute when you talk pirate.

OutmatchedOutmatched by Kristen Callihan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Outmatched was such a pleasure to read. It had all the making of a great slow burn romance, with it's sassy upper class heroine that falls for a rough around the edges ex boxer, to it's great background plot, it kept me captivated throughout as they began to fall in love. Parker and Rhys had such great chemistry, I loved the banter that they shared and the heat that quickly builds between them, turns this story into one sexy and hot affair.

I really enjoyed this collaboration between these two amazingly talented authors. The writing was very good and it flowed so well. It kept me wanting to keep reading as they characters were so engaging, it was such a really quirky and funny romance story that it was hard to put down and not read it all in one go. Wonderfully romantic storytelling at its best!

Tug by Marie James

Amazon: US | UK | CA | AU

Genre: MC Romance
Series: Cerberus MC; Book 10



The plans I made for my life didn't pan out.

I walked away from my best friend, my lover, the only man I could see spending my life with to make a career of being a Marine, but it didn't happen.

A car accident took him away from me before I realized the mistake I'd made.

Now, thirteen years later, I've met a woman and a man who makes everything seem ideal.

He's perfect in a familiar kind of way, and she's the kind of brand new you can't get enough of.

It's just my luck that one's a ghost and the other is my boss's daughter.

These plans may not pan out either.

This was a very satisfying read and for me my favorite of The Scandal Sheet series.

The Fire (The Hurricane, #4)The Fire by R.J. Prescott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have waited for such a long time for Tommy to have his story told and OMG it was so worth waiting for!
This story was so bittersweet, but for me, it was absolutely everything I have come to expect from the talented writing of RJ Prescott. Tommy and Evelyn right from the very start have everything stacked up against them, with them both being the complete polar opposites of each other, they don't get off to the best of starts but somehow once the pieces start to come together everything for them then suddenly starts to fall into place, in fact you could almost imagine that they could take on the world together.
Their love story is one which is full of so much emotional turmoil and suspenseful drama, but it's their beautiful romance that is the main feature of the book which centres around Driscoll's Gym, and with Danny and the other boys and their wives that we have come to know and love it is a tale that will melt the most frozen hearts.
I can't tell you enough how much I loved Tommy and Evelyn's story, what with the banter that goes on between them and with that dirty mouth that Tommy possess I was hooked in right from the start. I laughed and I cried right as I turned each and every page. This was a very fitting ending but I really hope that it's not the absolute end of all things Driscoll.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Being a big fan of this author's work, I was so looking forward to reading this book. The blurb had me intrigued, and the chance to meet another JEM alpha male had me thinking that I would instantly fall in love with his story but sadly that was not the case. On the plus side the book has the making of a great story, it's plotline has a lovely romance between it's main two characters of Ryan and Hannah who I adored, but it just didn't deliver on it's promise of any real drama. It was quite a slow moving story that just didn't give me the suspenseful build up that it needed to keep it interesting. Nothing really eventful happens in the story until I got to about 90%, and then it felt it was all rushed to tie up the ending. I really came to dislike Ryan's ex Darcy who I thought was too big a part of the story and she wasn't really needed so much as all she did was irritate me, the absolute star of the book was Alex, she was totally adorable and really made me want to keep reading about her and what she got up to. It was great to catch up with Jake, Cami and Lucinda too. For me this was just an ok read and not up to the usual standard we have come to expect from JEM.

Her brother's best friend, Brecken Miller.   He was her first crush. Her first kiss. Her first broken heart…   Construction worker Brecken Miller is a modern-day Scrooge. The confirmed bachelor would rather pull his nails out than celebrate Christmas, until he sees Caitie again. Like a moth to a flame he’s drawn to her. But there’s a problem with fire. It always leaves a scar.
 
**Sweet Little Lies is the fourth book in the Angel Sands series, set in a small beach town on the California coast. If you like a heartwarming holiday romance that’s low on angst and big on feels, this is the story for you!**
 

Excerpt

When the door closed behind her for a second time, Caitie bit down a smile and slowly turned to look at Breck. He was leaning on the wall, arms folded across his chest, the skin at the corner of his eyes crinkling up as he smiled at her. “Hello,” he said, his smile widening. “Hi.” She felt breathless as the air around them snapped and crackled. The hairs on her neck stood up. Breck slowly pushed off the wall and walked over to the sofa where she was standing, his strides long and confident. Caitie didn’t move. She wasn’t even sure if she could. Her muscles were tense with anticipation, her skin tingling with need. There was a half-smile on his lips as he reached out for her chin, using the pads of his fingers to tip her face up. “Cait…” His voice caressed her ears. She loved the way her name sounded on his lips. “Did you know you’re the only one who calls me that?” she asked breathlessly. “Do you mind?” She shook her head slowly, his fingers still holding her. “No. I like it.” Too much. He took another step forward, his eyes firmly on hers. “I like it, too,” he said. “The same way I like you.” Her chest tightened. Standing so close to him felt overwhelming. She could smell the woody scent of his cologne, feel his firm touch as his fingers caressed her jaw. Everywhere she looked, all she saw was him. “Where were we last week?” he asked her. The corner of her lip quirked up. “Remind me?” He chuckled and lowered his head until his lips were a breath away from hers. She could see the thickness of his eyelashes, the strong line of his nose, the warmth of his skin where it was kissed by the California sun. “I think it was a little like this,” he murmured, brushing his lips against hers.  

Advance Praise For Just A Kiss

Just A Kiss (Angel Sands #4)Just A Kiss by Carrie Elks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just A Kiss was such a was such a amazing read, it's the kind of Christmasy romance story that gives you all the warm and fuzzies inside.
It all started with a teenage crush for Caitie Russell, with the object of her affection being her big brothers best friend Brecken Miller, to a meeting years later when she is asked to help plan her brother Lucas's Christmas wedding. This story is the fourth book set in the seaside town of Angel Sands, California, and it may have a little more sunshine than most Christmas stories but it never distracts you from the charm and warmth of the Christmas theme that flows full on throughout the story.
I really got drawn in by the plot of this book because it not only features a love rival, it focuses on a past Christmas that one remembers so fondly that it seals their love of all things Christmas, while another finds it brings only sadness and hurt. It's an emotional rollercoaster ride for both Breck and Caitie and it really pulls at your heartstrings.
I love the stories by this author as her writing is always so good and you know that your in for a great read everytime you pick up one of her stories and this book didn't disappoint in anyway. If you love a Christmas story with a twist, and without any snow then you will fall in love with this story as much as I did.
