Review: Extra Innings, Michelle Lynn

ExtraInnings_FullCover.jpgExtra Innings is a standalone follow-up to Rounding Third. I did read Rounding Third first, so I knew the details of Braxton’s friendship with Crosby and Ella, and the accident from their senior year of high school that is still affecting all of them two years later. However, I didn’t feel it was necessary to have read Rounding Third first, as Michelle Lynn spells out enough of what happened in Extra Innings that it all makes sense.

This was a cute second-chance romance between college baseball star Braxton and premed student Ainsley. They agree to a summer fling, but just as Brax begins to think he’d like more from Ainsley, she breaks it off and completely disappears. Why? Well, she’s been burned by another baller, and doesn’t want to let open up her heart to Brax. But when they encounter each other several months later, Brax is determined to prove to Ainsley that he’s not like the guy she encountered in the past.

I just wish that the reader would have been able to see more of their previous relationship. There’s a 7-month time jump between their first drunken encounter, and then post-breakup where they meet again. I loved the story. I loved how sweet Brax is when he lets his true self show to Ainsley. But I would have been just slightly more invested in them as a couple with even just a few chapters of their initial dating, rather than being TOLD about it after the fact.

But overall? This is a great sports romance with an awesome HEA for Brax and Ainsley and I can’t wait to see which character has his story told next! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Morrow’s Horizon by Sierra Kummings

Cover Reveal: April 7th, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Designer: Rene Folsom

 

Blood, and love for a special little girl, bind the five Morrow sisters in an unbreakable way. Yet the family-devoted Sara Morrow yearns for more.

And that “more” looks a lot like the irresistible Jacob Ramírez.

For years, Sara’s contented herself with toe-curling fantasies about the CFO of the bank that employs her – all the while promising herself she’d never fall for the type of passion that destroyed her parent’s marriage. But when the one and only Latin six-foot-four god accepts her offer of help and turns her fantasies into reality, she’s forced to decide if it’s worth finding out if her boss is everything she’s dreamed of, or just the manifestation of all her fears.

Jacob has his own set of fears. Right out of high school, he joined the Marines, only to come home six years later with night terrors that haunt even his days. Now, at thirty-three, rudimentary techniques keep his secret hidden.

Until a chance meeting with Sara Morrow coincides with a deception that rocks him to his core.

When Sara’s faith is tested, her sisters’ love gives her the courage to believe in someone else. When Jacob’s is tested, he has to learn how to believe in himself.

Review: The Perfect 1, by Cory Cyr

 

17554093_224141301401462_7202293797995948016_n.jpg

 

This is the second book I’ve read by Cory Cyr, and I absolutely adored it. Her characters are rich and vibrant, and the story hooked me from the first page. The relationship between older woman Jensyn and younger man Lincoln was so beautifully crafted, even if it did start out with Jensyn selectively omitting the truth about who she is and what she looks like.

Jensyn was a top model before a car accident changed her life and she was horribly disfigured. Growing up in a world where appearance is EVERYTHING, Jensyn retreated to the quiet of compound in Hawaii, where she mostly lives as a recluse. Then, her therapist asks her to do a personal favor and assist his younger brother, a successful, adrenaline-junky writer who was recently blinded in an accident and needs help working on his latest manuscript since no one knows of Linc’s blindness.

He is a man who can’t see, she is a woman who doesn’t want to be seen. But they see something so special in one another, their age difference and disabilities don’t matter. The banter between the characters is witty when it needs to be, and tender when it needs to be.

The Perfect 1 reminds us all in a wonderful way that all of those clichés are true: Beauty is only skin deep and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.17554093_224141301401462_7202293797995948016_n.jpg

Review: Untouchable, Isabel Love

17636904_1852312541688772_2596643143630380116_o.jpg17554330_1851947498391943_1244789554980982639_n.jpg

 

This was an absolutely stellar debut novel! Isabel Love absolutely nails it with all the feels,well-developed characters, the right amount of smut, and the right amount of insecurity/unbalance from both Monica and Max in both tropes of older woman/younger man and forbidden workplace romance.

Max is so sweet and thoughtful, and mature beyond his 25 years. While Monica is only 32, she’s lived a rough few years and is soooo buttoned-up both professionally and personally. (That scene with here dad? It’s no wonder!)

Max wants “everything” with Monica, but when they come to a make-it-or-break-it point in their relationship, will her love for Max be enough, or will she sacrifice an awesome guy for the sake of her career?

For her first time out of the gate, Love crafted an excellent tale, and I can’t wait to see what comes next from this new author in this series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Review: Co-Wrecker, Meghan Quinn

CoWreckerAN.jpg

 

Holy crap, Co-wrecker is HYSTERICAL!!! I have a crush on hot nerd Andrew! Meghan Quinn does an EXCELLENT job in making Andrew’s charisma jump off the page! I had zero problem imagining a hot nerd with Clark Kent glasses and arm porn forearms making me a Reece’s Pieces Sundae!

The banter between Andrew and Sadie was awesome — she’s so closed-off, a real sourpuss, as cold as the ice cream they both serve up at Friendly’s, and that just makes him so determined to break down her walls. Their exchanges as he tries to do so are laugh-out-loud funny. I love how Andrew just sets out to be Sadie’s friend; the romance that eventually blossoms between them catches both of them off-guard. But Sadie wants to keep their relationship a secret, and for a magnitude of reasons, only gives Andrew bits and pieces of her true self. Before long, Andrew realizes that he wants more than bits and pieces of this amazing girl, and his co-worker becomes a co-wrecker when their relationship hits the skids and they split. Will Sadie realize what a gem of a guy Andrew really is before it’s too late?

Co-Wrecker is not only a hilarious — I mean, HILARIOUS — story, it’s sweet, endearing, sexy and a bit sad all at the same time. I liked the supporting characters just as much as the main couple, too. While Sadie and Andrew are both richly-developed characters and the book is told in alternating POVs, I can’t help but feel like the story is more his than hers. Maybe that’s just because he’s so adorkable!

I don’t know that I’ll ever look at the fountain at a Friendly’s restaurant the same way again! And that is a very sexy way to eat ice cream!

Review: Teach, Jillian Quinn

TEACH AN.jpg

 

Teach is a standalone story, but as a spin-off of Corrupt Me, it tells the story of Luca’s friend Mark, who falls for his older college professor, Olivia. I have not read Corrupt Me, and I did not feel that I was missing out on anything relative to Mark.

I really liked how Quinn sets the forbidden teacher/student romance here in the class of Law & Ethics: Olivia quit practicing law after she won a case while representing a rapist she knew was guilty — but she was bound to provide him with the best legal representation she could, as his attorney — and is now teaching a college law class. Mark has pro baseball aspirations, yet dabbles in illegal activities that could send him to jail. But he is doing so in order to provide for his teenaged sister since his mom is a mess of an alcoholic. If what you are doing is wrong but for the right reasons, does that make it okay?

The relationship that develops between Mark and Olivia is solid, and I didn’t feel like it was being forced upon me. BUT… I felt like the plot point about Olivia being a dancer in order to pay her bills after leaving the public defender’s office was dropped like a hot potato once she and Mark officially got together. They met at the club, and there are a few references of her still working there…. and then nothing?!?! I just think there was a LOT of story and crisis for the couple that could have been mined from her still working there even after they were official, especially considering how possessive Mark gets. I felt that Quinn missed the mark there, which is why I’m only ranking this 4 stars. Otherwise, this would have been a 5-star read for me, for sure.

BLURB

Mark Montgomery cares about two things—getting laid and getting paid. He’s cocky, confident, sexy-as-sin, and counting down the last few months of college before he can begin his professional baseball career. But there are things Mark must do to survive until his big payday, questionable activities that could get him killed.

He doesn’t want to rope anyone into his mess, especially not Olivia Ford, the woman he takes home from the club, a sexy lawyer who turns out to be his Law and Ethics professor. Their new relationship changes everything. But Mark won’t take no for an answer. Olivia can fight him all she wants, but Mark is the one who will be teaching her a lesson. In her classroom. Bent over her office desk. On the hood of his car.

Mark is more than a dirty talker who’s good in bed and can throw a ball, but what he does on the side is the one thing that could tear them apart and expose their forbidden relationship to the world.
