More to Love (A Perfect Fit #3)
by Alison Bliss


Paperback, 368 pages
Published January 30th 2018 by Forever
ISBN: 1455568104

Goodreads



This laugh-out-loud romantic comedy proves that, when enemies become lovers, all bets are off!

Jessa Gibson may be new in the little town of Granite, Texas, but in no time at all her gourmet food truck business is booming. Soon she'll have enough money to open the restaurant of her dreams. But first, she'll have to appease the hot local health inspector, no matter how strange his "violations" sound to her. No pink plastic gloves? Really? 

Max Hager isn't exactly who he says he is. Pretending to be a health inspector is a (mostly) innocent mistake. A mistake made way worse by Max's immediate, electrifying attraction to the curvy, sexy, redheaded chef. Throw in a whole lot of lust, and things in Jessa's little kitchen are about to really start heating up. But can Max find a way to come clean with Jessa before his little deception turns into a recipe for disaster?

B&N
More to Love was yet another charming and fun romance novel. I went into this book wanting that was entertaining and a fast read and this book was just that!

The characters in this book were all so cute and adorable. Jessa, the main female character, was such a kind, warm-hearted, and passionate woman. I admired her dedication to her job and how desperately she wanted her business to succeed. Jessa's love for her family was so sweet and relatable. Max was a character that really rubbed me the wrong way in the beginning. He came off as brash, demanding, and even rude. I wasn't sure if I was even going to end up liking him. However, I ended up really enjoying his character. He ended up being a fierce, loyal, and protective man.

The romance between Jessa and Max was full of passion and steam. From their first interaction, I could tell there was a lot of attraction between them. The sexual chemistry between Jessa and Max was off the charts! The author has a wonderful way of taking two characters who seem like complete opposites actually and making them very compatible for each other. The romance did feel like insta-love, but I still enjoyed the romance between Jessa and Max.

If you are a fan of this series or are just in the mood for an adorable romance, then I would definitely recommend checking this book out!

ISBN: 0399562451

Goodreads



From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Jojo Moyes, a new book featuring her iconic heroine of Me Before You and After You, Louisa Clark

Louisa Clark arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She steps into the world of the superrich, working for Leonard Gopnik and his much younger second wife, Agnes. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her new job and New York life. 

As she begins to mix in New York high society, Lou meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. Before long, Lou finds herself torn between Fifth Avenue where she works and the treasure-filled vintage clothing store where she actually feels at home. And when matters come to a head, she has to ask herself: Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you reconcile a heart that lives in two places?

Funny, romantic, and poignant, Still Me follows Lou as she navigates how to stay true to herself, while pushing to live boldly in her brave new world.

As an avid fan of the Me Before You series, I was SO excited to see that there was going to be another book in this series! I wasn't expecting there to be another book in this series, but I was more than excited to be reunited with Lou. This book was hilarious, charming, and heart-warming. Fans of this series will not be disappointed by this book! 

What I loved about this book was that it truly focused on Lou and her character development. She was thrown into a lot of new situations in this book, and it was so much fun to watch her navigate those situations. Will would have been proud of Lou and her dedication to living her life to the fullest. 

Lou has always been one of my favorite fictional characters. She makes a lot of mistakes and makes a lot of bad decisions, but that was always what made her so relatable. Lou tried a lot of new things in this book and I loved watching her discover more about herself. She was just as quirky and hilarious as ever in this book! It was so much fun being reunited with her again and watching her go on another journey.

All of JoJo Moyes' books make me want to go on adventures by myself and treat myself. JoJo's characters are always inspiring and the journeys they go on are always heart-warming and satisfying. I just love the way JoJo writes and how effortlessly her words flow from the pages. The witty and hilarious dialogue of this book kept me glued to the pages. 

Overall, this was an entertaining and wonderful addition to this series. This book made me laugh, tear up, and want to jump for joy.

Keeper by Kim Chance


Paperback, 408 pages
Expected publication: January 30th 2018 by Flux Books/North Star Editions
ISBN: 1635830125

Goodreads



When a 200-year-old witch attacks her, sixteen-year-old bookworm Lainey Styles is determined to find a logical explanation. Even with the impossible staring her in the face, Lainey refuses to believe it—until she finds a photograph linking the witch to her dead mother.

After consulting a psychic, Lainey discovers that she, like her mother, is a Keeper: a witch with the exclusive ability to unlock and wield the Grimoire, a dangerous but powerful spell book. But there’s a problem. The Grimoire has been stolen by a malevolent warlock who is desperate for a spell locked inside it—a spell that would allow him to siphon away the world’s magic.

With the help of her comic-book-loving best friend and an enigmatic but admittedly handsome street fighter, Lainey must leave her life of college prep and studying behind to prepare for the biggest test of all: stealing back the book.




Amazon
B&N




Keeper was a fun and entertaining paranormal romance that took me back to the days when I first discovered this genre. This book transported me back to middle school Miranda who was obsessed with all YA paranormal romances. Reading this book felt like a fun getaway. 

One of the best things about this book was the characters. The author did a wonderful job at making each character feel so realistic. The characters genuinely felt like real teenagers. None of the characters felt forced or too adult to be a teenager. I felt like I was hanging out with my best friends! Each character was lovable, hilarious, and unique in their own way. I WANT TO HUG THEM AND LOVE THEM FOREVER. 

The female friendships in this book were AMAZING. I loved how this author didn't forget how important female friendships are in books. The female friendships warmed my heart and brought many smiles to my face. The romance in this book was predictable, however, I was totally into it. The romance had so many swoony and sweet moments! My inner middle school self was squealing with happiness. I SHIP IT. 

Even though a majority of this book was predictable and had many YA tropes, the author still introduced surprising plot points. The paranormal element of this story was interesting and presented some exciting plot development. The last chapters of the book were action-packed and full of twists and turns! I blew through those chapters! I am excited to see if the author will write a sequel because there are so many things that can be explored in this world!

If you are someone who use to be obsessed with YA paranormal romances and want to be taken back to that time, then I definitely would recommend checking this book out!

Baby, I'm Howling for You (Alphaville #1)
by Christine Warren


Paperback, 304 pages
Expected publication: January 30th 2018 by St. Martin's Paperbacks
ISBN: 1250120721

Goodreads



WELCOME TO ALPHAVILLE, where the she-wolves and alpha-males play. . .for keeps.

Renny Landry is a wolf on the run. Pursued by a shapeshifting stalker and his slobbering pack of killer coyotes, she is forced to flee her job as a librarian to find sanctuary in the wooded hills of Alpha, Washington. A well-secluded safe space for troubled shifters, Alpha is Renny’s last hope. But the first person she meets there is a gorgeous alpha male with fiery eyes, fierce tattoos, and one ferocious appetite—for her…

Mick Fischer thought he left his past behind when he moved to Alpha. But fate has a way of biting him in the tail when a female wolf shows up on his property. Wounded, desperate—and disarmingly hot—Renny brings out the snarling, protective alpha beast in Mick like no other woman he’s known. Can these two haunted, hunted wolves manage to mate for life…even as the deadliest past demons howl at their heels? 




Amazon
B&N




Baby, I'm Howling for You is the perfect book if you are in the mood for a guilty pleasure paranormal romance. This book was a book filled with protective alpha males, steamy sex scenes, and intense action. 

One of the things I really enjoyed about this book was the characters. I really liked the wide cast of characters and how developed they were. The author clearly really cares for all of the characters, and that love was showcased throughout the story. I cannot wait to read more about this eclectic group of people. I also really enjoyed the plot of this story! I thought the author did a great job at keeping the story interesting. There was always a new danger right around the corner. The intense action moments always had me on the edge of my seat! 

The romance between Renny and Mick was extremely sexy and passionate. The author did a great job developing intense chemistry between the two characters. The chemistry between Renny and Mick was palpable! I really enjoyed watching their relationship develop, even if it was a little fast paced and had insta-love vibes. I would have liked to see it develop even more, but I am hoping that I will get more development throughout the rest of the series! I think Renny and Mick are a wonderful couple and I cannot wait to see what happens next for them!

The main issue I had with this book was that it seemed like it was a little dense. I felt the book was a bit too descriptive which made this book have a heavy feel to it at times. There were moments when I lost interest due to that. However, I did think the book was fast-paced and addictive as a whole.

Overall, this was a fun and addictive paranormal romance! If you are looking for sexy shifter romance, then this is the book for you!

Indecent Exposure by Tessa Bailey


Title: Indecent Exposure 
Series: The Academy #2
Author: Tessa Bailey
Publisher: Avon
Release Date: January 30, 2018




Is there a problem, Officer? 


Jack Garrett isn’t a police officer yet, but there’s already an emergency. His new firearms instructor—the one who just dropped every jaw in the academy gym—is the same sexy Irish stranger Jack locked lips with last night. The Olympic gold medalist and expert markswoman is now officially off-limits, but Jack’s never cared much for rules . . .

 Katie McCoy’s been cooped up in a shooting range for too long. A wild love affair is just what she needs to let loose, though she never imagined it would be with her smokin’ hot trainee. She cannot get involved with Jack—but a quick fling? Perfect. Falling hard for a charismatic recruit with an equal amount of sex appeal and secrets? Bloody stupid.
Jack’s charmed the pants off plenty of women (literally), yet few have ever looked beyond his perfect surface. Until Katie. He’ll do anything to keep her in his life . . . except tell her about his past. But a tiny lie of omission never hurt anyone, right?




Amazon | Barnes & Noble




First off, I have to admit this is my first Tessa Bailey's book. I own a bunch of her novels but have never read any. That being said, I can see why people like her stories so much. They are refreshing and engaging. 

Indecent Exposure begins when Katie McCoy meets Jack Garrett. You wonder how? Outside a bar in New York where a mob hit happened years ago. Katie has an obsession with mob hits and she was determined to see them while on her first trip to NYC. Next thing she knows, an extremely handsome man is offering his company as a tour guide. 

Katie doesn't go inside bars for a personal reason while Jack seems to live in one. So how could a relationship between them work?   It just does. Tessa Bailey does a wonderful job of bringing these two characters together.

Katie is originally from Ireland. She is a markswoman and an Olympian medalist. She's in NYC to train the new police recruits on firearms. What she wasn't expecting was to see Jack as part of her class. 

Jack uses the bottle to forget his past. He joined the police force after losing a bet with his best friend Danika. He's not interested in his new career except for getting paid and helping his mother stay afloat. Things do change when Katie crosses his path. She sees something in him and it makes him try to do better. 

Indecent Exposure had a solid plot. The addiction angle was a good one. It was easy to like the characters and root for them. The one drawback for me was the almost insta-love feel.  I would have had Jack get the help he needs and remain apart until he was stronger than before. Yet, the epilogue was wonderful. 

Cliffhanger: No

Indie and the Brother's Best Friend
by R. Linda





Title: Indie and the Brother's Best Friend
A Scandalous Series Novel
Author: R. Linda
Publisher: Limitless Publishing LLC
Genre: NA Romance
Release Date: January 30, 2018





Being in love with someone who doesn’t love you back sucks.

Being in love with your brother’s best friend sucks even more, because you know it can never happen. How tragic is that?

I’ve been in love with Lincoln Andrews since we were kids and he stuck up for me against my brother and played tea parties with me in the treehouse. I’ve also avoided him for the past year because he broke my heart…more than once.

Now we’ve been thrown together at a tropical resort to celebrate my parents’ second wedding, and things are intense and getting worse, no thanks to an insane plan my friends cooked up to get me my dream man.

No one else even comes close to what Linc means to me. He’s always there for me, but is it because he cares for me too—or only because I’m his best friend’s little sister?

It’s time I find out once and for all…but what if our crazy plan blows up in my face and ruins everything?

I smiled at her. It wasn’t a friendly smile. It was sinister. Her eyes widened, and she moved back on the rock, knowing I was coming for her.
“You better lose that dress real quick, Princess. I’d hate for it to get wrecked.” I crept closer. Panic marred her features. She knew all too well that I meant what I said.
“You wouldn’t.” She held her hands out to stop me.
“Come on, you know me better than that. You’re getting in this water. It’s just up to you whether your pretty dress is coming in with you.” I turned my back to her. “You have until the count of three. If you’re not in the water by then, I’m turning around regardless of whether you’re still dressed or not.”
“Linc, I’m not skinny-dipping with you.” Her voice quivered a touch with nerves.
I chuckled. “No one said anything about skinny-dipping, but please don’t let me stop you if you feel inclined to swim naked.” I reached for the waistband of my boxers, and intending to mess with her a little more, I removed them completely. “I might just join you.” I threw my underwear over my shoulder and onto the rock.
I was surely going to hell for this.
“Linc! Oh, my god!” I looked over my shoulder at her to find her face buried in her hands.
“To the count of three, Indie,” I warned one last time.
She huffed.
What was I doing? She was Nate’s sister.
“One.”
And she had Jack-ass for a boyfriend.
“Two.”
She was completely off limits.
“Three.”
It was silent. I turned to find her standing on the rock, twisting her hands nervously in front of her. Her dress…at her feet.
I gulped.
Lace. White lace. Matching.
Hell.
I was going to hell.
And I didn’t care. I didn’t care that she was Nate’s sister. I didn’t care that she had a boyfriend. I didn’t care that she was entirely off limits. She was mine. Always had been. And one way or another, I wasn’t leaving this island without getting what I wanted.

Taming Him by Kennedy Fox

Series: Bishop Brothers
Author: Kennedy Fox
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Trope: Vacation Romance
Photographer: Wander Augular
Model: Zac Aynsley
Designer: RBA Designs
Release Date: January 30, 2018
*Each Bishop Brothers novel is an interconnected standalone*



Alex Bishop is your typical cowboy.
Charming, sexy, and wears a panty-melting smirk.
Working on the ranch helped build his solid eight-pack and smoking body. He’s every girl’s wet fantasy and he knows it too. Alex doesn’t follow the rules of your typical playboy bachelor. After wining and dining his dates and giving them the best night of their lives, he always sends flowers and calls the next day—even if it’s to say, let’s just be friends. His mama taught him manners after all and his southern blood knows how to be a gentleman. Still, that isn’t enough to tame the wildest of the Bishop brothers.

River Lancaster has finally met the man of her dreams. Too bad after six months of romantic bliss, she finds out he’s married. With a broken heart and blind rage, she books herself a ticket to Key West, Florida. Tired of cheaters and liars, she’s set on escaping to forget he ever existed. Who needs a man when there’s an all-you-can-drink margarita bar, anyway? That’s what she tells herself until she bumps into the right guy who can make all those bad memories disappear.
Even if it’s only temporarily.

Two weeks on the beach is what they both need. No strings attached, no expectations, no broken hearts. Too bad the universe has other plans—one that’ll change the entire course of their lives in just nine short months.

**A complete standalone contemporary romance with a little southern drama**

Kennedy Fox is a duo that I came to discover because of a friend a few months back when they were writing the Checkmate Duet Series and I have come to absolutely love their stories! They always have such a perfect mix of characters and Taming Him was no less impressive than the rest. 

If you're a fan of Kennedy Fox you might already know who Alex Bishop is from the Checkmate Duet Series, but If you haven't read it then no worries because you'll fall in love with him all the same! He's a rugged rancher from Texas, who also happens to be downright lickable! When he and River meet in Key West things get super intense very very quickly. River is a nurse, who works long hours and doesn't do much else, but once she meets Alex in Key West everything changes.

The chemistry with these two from the beginning was off. the. charts! I knew I would like the story, but I didn't know I would adore the characters as much as I do since finishing! Kennedy Fox always seem to give me all of the emotions I crave in a great romance. There are so many, perfectly in place, funny, tender, and sexy moments. Every character has an endearing quality even if they seem to be a pain at times, but that's the fun of it, just getting to know them! Can I also just say the sidekicks in this story, Dylan and Nat were hilarious! I just couldn't stop laughing whenever they were in the picture.

I am sooooooo looking forward to the next book because these Bishop Brothers have me feeling some type of way, y'all! Kennedy Fox never fail to leave me salivating for more!
