Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I don’t know why I’m surprised every time I read a Catherine Cowles book and absolutely love it, but I am! Cope, Sutton, and Luca’s story was captivating, from start to finish, filled with sweet and tender moments in between.

Sutton and Cope’s meet-cute is more like a hate-cute — they definitely get off on the wrong foot when they meet outside of her son’s hockey camp where the NFL pro is coaching. Cope is immediately smitten with the intriguing woman he nicknames “Warrior” and I so enjoyed the journey these two characters went on. Sutton is carrying physical scars, and Cope mental ones; the way they help each other heal and work through that trauma is beautiful. Cope is such a swoony hero, and the way he connects with Luca totally gives him extra book-boyfriend points.

Connor Crais and Erin Mallon are at the top of the audiobook game, and they did a great job in sharing the story of these broken characters.

I have loved getting to know the Colson family. My heart broke for Cope and all the guilt he’s been carrying around ever since the car accident years ago that killed his father and brother!

Speak of the Devil by S.L. Scott is now live!

The hottest rock star in the world walking into my work wasn’t on my bingo card. Speak of the devil . . . 

My soon-to-be ex-husband.

Shane Faris is taller than I remember. Scruffier. More attractive than ever and sporting a sinful smirk that tells me he hears “Yes” too much. Figures.

He offers me the divorce I want, but on one condition . . .

A weekend together, for old times’ sake.

He’s partied his way through time zones, collecting ink on his skin to commemorate events I wasn’t a part of. While I struggled to earn my degrees, Shane chased fame and made memories without me.

It’s time to move on.

So why does his presence cause my heart to kick up a beat and my cheeks to blush when he sends me a wink? I can’t resist him. And he is my husband, after all, if only for a few more days.

When that weekend becomes two lines on a pregnancy test, we must decide whether this is a second chance worth taking together.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Not quite sure what to shelf this one as… it’s not a traditional second chance romance, but it kinda is, and not quite a marriage of convenience, but it kinda is. But any way you slice it, Shane and Cate’s story was definitely entertaining!

I loved Shane’s cocky confidence, and how he didn’t quite know what to do with all the big things he was feeling for Cat. As they navigate their feelings for one another — and the fact that they are somehow married! — an easy rapport grows between them. There are many heart-to-heart conversations between Shane and Cate, and neither of them shy away from communicating with the other. Or being vulnerable. I appreciated that kind of maturity in their relationship.

The mysterious wedding that neither one of them remembers is a different spin on the married couple trope, and I enjoyed seeing these two fall in love as they tried to figure out the details of their accidental marriage. There is a great chemistry between the characters, and while the circumstances were a little crazy — and a gerontology nurse and a world-famous drummer seem to be an unlikely couple — they just worked.

The Break Up is heartbreaking, heartwrenching, and leaves Cate shattered. But Shane really puts in the work to make things right, and I loved the reunion.

Speak of the Devil is a standalone spinoff from the Westcott series, in the Faris Wheel series, I guess, following Never Have I Ever. There are some cameos from Larid and Poppy (and the Crow Brothers crew), and I loved getting an update on those characters.

WILD FOR YOU by Renee Harless is NOW LIVE

Blurb:
The job was supposed to be easy. Get my best friend’s older brother back on his feet and put my life back together.
But when we end up sharing a bed, all those plans flew out the window.
He was a notorious underground rodeo champion. Ladies’ man and legend. It’s not until he sustains an almost career ending injury that his family learns his secret – he wasn’t just the head of Sunny Brook Farms after all.
What started as professional morphed into something more, and not only because the cowboy refused to wear a shirt around the house.

Not that I was complaining.
But he was like a tempting piece of dessert that I needed to steer clear of.
Except, the more time I spent with him, the more I learned he was more than what he seemed. He was protective and devoted, and when I had my first taste of him, I was hooked.

We knew it was wrong.
We knew it would be our secret.

Neither of us wanted to cross the line drawn in the sand. There was his sister to consider and my crushed heart.
But all of it was about to get more complicated when that pink plus sign showed up.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Big brother Andrew finally gets his HEA in Wild For You, the 5th book in the Sunny Brook Farms series!

Andrew is the quintessential grump. He was severely injured in a rodeo accident, and he hates feeling helpless. Even more, he hates that his little sister’s best friend, Kelsey, has been hired by his family to be his live-in physical therapist to assist in his recovery. Kelsey is fresh off a breakup that caused her to lose her job, so the position comes at a perfect time. She is all sunshine and rainbows, the perfect foil to Andrew’s grumpy and gruff demeanor.

I loved that this isn’t the typical accidental pregnancy romance; Kelsey’s surprise pregnancy brings Andrew’s life full circle, giving him the opportunity to step up the way his stepfather had all those years ago. It’s a beautiful moment. I enjoyed the chemistry between these two, as well as the twist when a woman from Andrew’s secret rodeo past comes crashing into their lives.

I’m sad to see the Sunny Brook Farms series come to an end, but it went out on a high note with Andrew and Kelsey’s story! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

READ THE EXCERPT:

“Bossy,” she mutters. 

I smirk. “Does this surprise you?” 

“Not in the least.” Then she murmurs under her breath, a little sensually, “Sir.” 

Well, then. That’s a whole lot of info delivered in that tone. I can’t not ask: “So not only does it not surprise you, it sounds like you don’t mind it either?” 

She tips her chin up at me, challenging me with, “What do you think?” 

I don’t think. I do. I slide my thumb along her pretty chin. God, it feels so good to touch her again. “That you like to give me hell. That you like to keep me on my toes. And that you love to give me a hard time.” 

She leans into my touch, almost like she’s saying with her body don’t stop. “And I think you love all those things too,” she says in a husky voice that gives a little hint of her desire.  

My thumb travels up to her cheek. She moves with me, her breath gusting across those gorgeous lips. “You’d be right,” I say, heat flaring inside me.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

My Favorite Holidate was so much fun! Fake date, boss, single dad, revenge, secret feelings, Christmas story? Yes, please!

Fable and Wilder were such great characters. I did not read any of the other books in this interconnected series, but I did not feel like I was missing out on pieces of their backstory, and I immediately connected with both of them. This feel-good story is a lighthearted read. Even though it starts out with some major drama when Fable walks in on her ex with another woman, the rest of the story is low-drama. Lots of sexy shenanigans, Christmas time goodness, and a fake relationship that becomes so much more for the Renegades owner and his lead graphic designer.

Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke narrate this book in duet fashion — which is hard to *not* want all the time now that I’ve been spoiled by a few duet narration books! They made listening to Fable and Wilder fall in love so much fun. As a bonus, My Favorite Holidate had a full cast to round out the secondary characters, with performances from Andi Arndt, Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin, Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon, and more!

It’s been a while since I’ve read anything by Lauren Blakely, and I enjoyed returning to her world with this fun — and funny — holiday romance!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

My Darling Jane by Ilsa Madden-Mills is a charming, frenemies-to-lovers romance between a football star and his matchmaker. Jane is a quirky character, a fiercely protective mama bear to her daughter Londyn, and Jasper is a charming, misunderstood pro athlete with some insecurities and a huge heart.

From all outward appearances, Jasper looks like a playboy, but there’s always been something about his friend’s sister-in-law that he’s been drawn to. When Jane is struggling to get her matchmaking service a boost, Jasper volunteers himself as tribute… but the only one he really wants to go on dates with is Jane herself.

Both Jane and Jasper have deep-rooted abandonment issues, as they were both left behind by their mothers. I liked Jasper more than I liked Jane, to be honest. I found myself mentally yelling at her to open up her eyes and just accept what Jasper was so clearly offering her.

This is a lighthearted feel-good frenemies-to-lovers romance. There is some drama with Londyn’s dad coming back into the picture, that I didn’t think contributed all that much to the story and could have done without. But if you’re looking for a feel-good single mom story, check this out!

WILDFLOWERS AND WIDE RECEIVERS by Kathryn Andrews is AVAILABLE NOW!

Blurb:

Wildflower and Wide Receivers is a second-chance, contemporary sports romance about our hero who unexpectedly becomes a single guardian over his five-year-old niece and the one who got away.

When fate throws a second chance . . . catch it.

Jonah Dallmann

Over two years ago, I met a woman on New Year’s Eve, and it was the best night of my life. That is until the next morning when it became the worst.

One voice message. One swerve over a double yellow line. One little girl, my niece, that’s now mine.

It hasn’t been easy, these things never are, but we’re trying. Now, I’m twenty-six, and determined to be the best wide receiver on our team, while she’s seven and spends her days reading books and dancing ballet.

Only, I haven’t just grieved the loss of my brother, but her too. My heart has ached for what could have been, and what I had to let go. I know what I did to her was wrong, unfortunately, I never had an opportunity to explain that at the time I thought I was right. But as the door opens and she steps in wearing green scrubs and a long white coat, shock ripples through me and hope that I might finally get the chance.

Sophie Black

I always wondered if this day would come, but I never expected to see him here, with her, in one of my patient rooms. He’s even better looking than I remember and giving off single dad vibes, too, as he cares for his adorable niece. A niece I didn’t know he had.

I was surprised when he asked if he could see me again, but I instantly declined. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Only now we keep running into each other, and I’m confused. Is fate throwing us a second chance, and if so, should I catch it?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I could not have loved Wildflowers and Wide Receivers more!

Jonah and Sophie meet at a New Year’s Eve party hosted by mutual friends. They have an instant connection, share an amazing night together, and he leaves the next morning planning on returning later for more. But unbeknownst to Jonah, his brother and sister-in-law were killed that night, leaving him the guardian of his 5-year-old niece, Vivi. Somehow they never again cross paths until Vivi has an accident and it turns out that Sophie is the orthopedic doctor Jonah takes her to.

From there, this story evolves into a wonderful second-chance romance that also deals with the many delicate layers of grief and mourning. Jonah is such a cinnamon roll hero. I adored how gentle he was with Vivi; the death of her parents impacted them both tremendously. I also loved how affectionate he was with Sophie, not wanting to waste the second chance he’d been given with Sophie, the one that got away. He wasn’t afraid to be vulnerable or show emotion; I loved that about him.

Meanwhile, Sophie had a plan for her life and career. Reconnecting with Jonah, and falling in love with him and Vivi, definitely has her rethinking what she thought she wanted out of life. Sometimes, you have to embrace the unexpected, because it’s exactly what you need!

And then… And then… the meaning behind Wildflowers and Wide Receivers! Oh, Jonah!

I am looking forward to getting to know the rest of the Tampa Tarpon guys!

DINING FOR LOVE by Valerie Pepper is AVAILABLE NOW!

Blurb:

She’s not expecting love. He’s not planning to stay.

Willa Dash’s sheltered life is perfectly wonderful, thank you very much. She loves cooking at her family’s diner and enjoying everything her tiny beach side town has to offer—despite her mother insisting her talents would be better showcased at a Michelin-starred restaurant far away from home.

Big city cop Reid MacKinnon decamps to Lucky after his undercover sting goes bust. His plan is simple: help his police chief uncle by patrolling the town, and lay low while the D.A. builds a case against the bad guys back home.

All his plans go up in flames when he comes face to face with adorably klutzy Willa, who stammers and tries to hide from him every time they meet. Considering he’s her new neighbor, that’s…a lot. It’s not long before making her blush is his new favorite pastime, and this small town? It’s beginning to feel a lot like home. Now he needs to convince Willa to give their relationship a real chance—and not be taken out by the hitman sent to finish him.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I am so glad I took a chance on reading author Valerie Pepper for the first time, because Dining For Love was adorable! A quirky diner waitress and an undercover detective from Miami hiding out in a small beach town…. I loved Reid and “Just Willa” so much!

From their first meet-cute to their vows of love and all the make-out sessions in between, this book was a gem! And it was so funny! Plus, there’s a bit of suspense in the mix with the case gone awry that Reid was working on back in Miami. Both characters show a lot of growth by the end of the book as well. Willa has led a rather sheltered life. A traumatic incident at culinary school has made her clam up. But throughout her relationship with the hot cop passing through town, Willa really comes into her own and learns to stand up for herself. Reid, meanwhile, was kind of anti-relationship, and never envisioned himself settling down in a small town. What starts out as a situationship with an expiration date turns into so much more for these two!

I would really love to see whatever is going on with Willa’s sister, Goldie, and best friend, Matt, explored in the next book!

1-Click TODAY!

What to expect:

✔️Small town

✔️Neighbors

✔️Enemies to Lovers

✔️Forced Proximity

Blurb:

Keats is my enemy. And ending up in bed together presents an even bigger complication, considering he’s my grumpy next-door neighbor.

It started with my uptight neighbor being enemy number one. The cocky lawyer always seems to swagger my way with a disgruntled look and piercing eyes when my mail continues to get accidentally delivered to his house. Keats always makes me feisty and annoyed, too. Hence why we’re both always in a showdown where I want to rip his shirt into shreds and maybe his pants, too. Why? Because the attraction is too overbearing and lingers in the air.

And then we snap and give in.

We start the unimaginable. We unintentionally start a neighbors-with-benefits kind of thing. But I begin to see a different side of Keats, and it turns out he isn’t the kind of man I thought he was. The fact that he turns possessive or moves me right into his home due to my house complication tells me that he feels something, too. Our relationship development blindsides us, and neither one of us is sure where this will end. After all, we never planned on being everything I wanted…

Banter, steam, and low on angst, Everything I Wanted is the first in the Everhope Road series, a spin-off from the Lake Spark world. It can be read as a standalone. Readers who love small-town, enemies-to-lovers, next-door-neighbor romances with no third-act breakup will fall for Keats and Esme!

Evey Lyon kicks off a new series with Everything I Wanted, a delicious enemies-to-lovers romcom! Esme and Keats were hilarious (I loved how he called her “his demon”) with their mailbox arguments that led to hate-sex and then eventually so much more!

Workaholic lawyer Keats and free-spirited photographer Esme are as different as they come. They have different approaches to everything in life, and while that definitely causes many arguments between them at the start, it also helps them balance each other out. Their situationship changes when Esme’s house catches on fire, Keats becomes her white knight riding to her rescue.

The Everhope Road series is in the Lake Spark world — Keats is a lawyer for the Spinners, and is the brother of Summer (Should Have Been, Lake Spark Inn #3). I loved Summer’s visit with her brother and how she kind of lit a spark under Keats and got him to realize that the woman he loved sparring with keeps him on his toes in a way that nobody else has before.

I am looking forward to more from this series, especially after that tease with Hailey and Oliver in the end!

OF HEARTBREAK AND HARMONY by Brit Benson is NOW LIVE

Blurb:

He burned me once.

This time, I won’t be the one consumed by the flames.

Torren King is rock-and-roll’s broodiest bachelor.

Mysterious, moody, and coveted by nearly everyone.

But to me, he’s just the sad boy who set fire to my heart,

then reduced me to ashes in the desert.

For four sweltering nights, I burned for him,

and he conquered my heart one whispered lyric at a time.

But on the fifth night, he shattered me in the way only a flawless rock god can:

irreparably, and with devastating finesse.

Four years later, the last place I expect to be is sitting before him,

reading through a contact with a pen poised in my fingertips.

A favor for a favor, he says.

A US tour and a fake relationship in exchange for the answer to all my problems.

I hate him. I hate that I need him.

And what I hate the most?

He doesn’t remember me. At all.

But despite the burning chemistry between us,

the rapidly blurring lines and the suffocating attraction,
he’s still the rock star who ruined me,

and I refuse to let myself forget.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Brit Benson delivers another spectacularly angsty story in Of Heartbreak and Harmony, the second book in the Hometown Heartless series!

There’s an instant attraction between Torren and Callie when they first meet, and they spend a wild few days together. But then he pulls the rug out from underneath her, and everything comes crumbling down. Years later, Torren and Callie reconnect when he needs a favor. Specifically, a fake girlfriend. With little options at the time, Callie has no choice but to accept his proposition. Even though being so close with the guy who broke her heart on a tour bus is the last thing she wants.

BB wrote a story so full of angst and heartbreak. It is a delicious slow burn, and I loved seeing Torren unravel as the layers of this broody hero got peeled back. Because she was burned by Torren years ago, Callie enters their arrangement with nothing but hate for him… and I loved seeing her fall in love once again with the guy who broke her heart.

Torren is one of Savannah’s bandmates (Between Never and Forever). While this book goes back and forth between Callie and Torren’s past and present, the “present” timeline is set after BNAF. It is a standalone, but for the full experience, I would recommend reading BNAF first.

UPDATED FOR AUDIO: Stella Hunter and Stephen Dexter did a great job capturing the nuances of Callie and Torren. I read this book when it first came out, and these two narrators helped me fall in love with Torren and Callie all over again.

I can’t wait to read the rest of this series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Meet Brit Benson:

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.
