#CoverReveal: Faux Pas by Natasha Madison

Synopsis

Meghan Five days in Paris sounded like a great idea for three friends. Especially when amazing wine was in play. It didn't matter that our rented “apartment” only had one bed, and barely enough space to breathe, we were in Paris and our motto was c'est la vie. Nothing would faze us, not even the rude waiter at the first restaurant we went to, or the insanely hot manger who was insulted when a bottle of wine was returned. Nothing could bring me down or knock me off my path to the best vacation of my life. Alex I had six days in Paris and then I'd go back to my wine vineyard. It was smooth sailing, until three "americans" came into the restaurant and returned my newest full bodied, savory creation. I ignored her until she stormed out of the restaurant looking for a taxi at one in the morning. I couldn't leave her wandering around the streets of Paris, could I? I’d give her a ride, make sure she was safe, and my duty would be done. Except, was it? Something about her pulled me. This could be a vacation fling. After all, there is no real reason for her to know my interesting secret. I'm France’s most eligible bachelor. This faux pair is almost a faux pas...

#BookSpotlight #Review: Catching Irish by Katy Regnery

Synopsis

Finian Kelley and Tate Jennings met at a wedding…
…but that doesn’t mean they had romance in mind.

Since meeting Finian Kelley at a wedding last fall, where they agreed to be physical with no strings attached, Tate Jennings can’t get him out of her head. So when an invitation arrives at her Florida condo, inviting Tate to spend St. Patrick’s Weekend back at Summerhaven where Finian works, she can’t resist heading up to New Hampshire for the festivities.

Having just gotten out of an awesomely bad relationship, Finian Kelley has sworn off romance, which is why it’s good that hottie Tate Jennings lives far away in the Florida Keys. They may have fooled around at Rory’s wedding, but at least they have no future together, right?

Wrong. When an annual celebration brings Tate back to New Hampshire, will Finian be able to stay away from the woman who’s already made an unwanted impression on his heart?

Return to Summerhaven one last time for this sweet, sultry, summer novella!

Review

It's always sad to see a series end, it's even worst when you have LOVED every single one of the books in the series. Catching Irish is the last book of The Summerhaven Trio and it's a very satisfying end to it.

Finian and Tate meet at Rory and Brittany's wedding, sparks fly and fireworks start. They decide to have their fun and leave it at that. But as time passes neither one of them can get the other one out of their heads. Opportunity knocks at their door again and when they meet again there's no denying the feelings they both have for each other as they come to the surface with a vengeance. There's only a few problems that may interfere between these two, distance, baggage from the past, and being honest about the feelings they're experiencing, not only to themselves but to each other.

Katy's stories are a treat to read, she brings all these feelings from her characters and gets her readers involved in their journey. I loved that while the story is fairly fast paced you can definitely feel the chemistry and the love developing between Finian and Tate. It feels organic and so relatable. I finished the story and felt like I needed more from these two, then I turned the page and found a surprise from Katy. The way she ended up this series is simply perfection. I can't wait to read more stories from this talented author.

Review

Let's face it, divorce is never an easy thing to go through. When you add to that a nasty soon to be ex-husband, two teenagers, one of them with disabilities, who have time to find love again?

Amazing Grayson is a very relatable story of a mother finding balance between raising kids and finding the time to re-start a life for herself. Greer wasn't looking for love, but when love comes knocking on her door in the form of her son's counselor she has to decide if she's going to give it a go or just keep life as is. Grayson has been dedicated to his family and farm most of his live, he let life pass him by until he meets Greer and he decides to take a chance at love.

I just LOVE these #MyNewLife stories. They're real, they deal with adults that are not into inciting drama where it doesn't belong, and no doubt we all can relate to them one way or another. This book deals with real life issues and Carter does it with some humor and a whole lot of heart.

Ace (Grayson) is a wholesome country boy, good natured, hard worker and with a heart of gold. Greer is an independent woman trying to raise her two children the best way she can without losing the essence of who she is in the process. It brings me joy to read a storyline that reads so refreshing and natural.

* You don't need to read the previous books to understand Grayson and Greer's story, but let's be honest, these stories are so candid and well written that you should definitely give the previous ones a go.

Review

Is it hot in here or is it me burning up after reading Going Down?
Beth Michele turns up the heat factor between these two complete strangers. A close encounter during the holidays lead Dash and Cain to an even closer and personal encounter behind closed doors.
While this is a very fast pace story the character development doesn't suffer at all. I loved their their banter and the journey following their encounter. And like any other story by this author, the writing is superb. If you like short, sexy, and sweet M/M stories, Going Down is definitely for you. Did I mention that I loved the epilogue, I'm a sucker for those.
This is one of my favorite authors and this is a highly recommended novella.

Excerpt

Copyright © 2018, Penelope Ward Needing a few seconds to prepare, I closed my eyes the moment I knew he was about to turn on the camera. I don’t know why I was so afraid to see him. Maybe I was worried his looks would somehow change the way I viewed him. I hated that I’d even had that thought. I didn’t want to be unattracted to him physically because I was so very drawn to him in every other way. Shouldn’t those be the ways that mattered? I was scared I would somehow feel differently about him, and he deserved better than to be judged on his physical appearance. “You can open your eyes,” he said. My heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest. Here goes. One, two, three… When I saw him right in front of me, my mouth fell open. Oh. Oh my. Oh wow. Big, glowing eyes. Perfect nose. Stubbled, angular jaw. Full lips. Strong arms. I just kept blinking because I couldn’t believe my eyes. He looked like a model or a movie star. A rush of insecurity hit me. Is this a joke? No, it wasn’t. It was really him. Ryder. Oh my God. The lust consuming me made me feel almost guilty. But I was so damn relieved that he was truly as beautiful on the outside as I believed him to be on the inside. He was almost too beautiful, if there were such a thing. He looked nothing like the vague image I’d formed in my head, which was sort of like a silhouette without a clear face but with a brown beard, kind of like a hipster. Not sure why I’d pictured him like that. It was kind of funny how off base I was. This was not what I’d been expecting. Because how could someone so thoughtful, attentive, creative, and considerate be so strikingly handsome that he made me speechless? And it was clear now that his sexy voice absolutely fit him. “You’re…” I hesitated. “Oh shit.” He laughed. “What are you thinking?” “No. No, no, no. Nothing bad at all. I just don’t even know how to articulate it. You’re…beautiful, Ryder. Absolutely beautiful.” He let out a breath. “And you’re…handsome, Eden. Very handsome.” His impish grin was so sexy. I chuckled. “I know beautiful is an odd term for a man, but you are. All this time you’ve been hiding from me when you’re drop-dead gorgeous. Why?” “You really did think I was ashamed of my looks, huh?” “Well, I’d be lying if I said that didn’t cross my mind. I wondered if there was something you were self-conscious about. That always made me a little sad. But it never mattered to me, because I’ve been connecting with you on a deeper level.” “I think that’s exactly why I didn’t want to change things,” he said. “Why fix something if it ain’t broken?” When I fell silent, he asked, “What are you thinking?” A nervous energy overtook me. “Nothing. I’m…still just taking you in.” “Okay. Let me know when you’re done so I can stop sucking in my abs.”
