Book Review: My Big Fat Fake Engagement

My Big Fat Fake EngagementMy Big Fat Fake Engagement by Lauren Landish
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fake romance turned real

Good book! Courtney and Kaede have known each other forever. Kaede is Courtney’s brother’s best friend and business partner. Courtney is heir to Andrews Holdings, a billion dollar company. While look to expand their business, Kaede and Ross sign with an investor, and he infers Kaede should marry his father. Kaede says he’s already engaged to Courtney and the games begin.

Kaede and Courtney are entertaining characters and the story flows well. This is a very enjoyable book. Lauren really did a good job with developing all the characters and keeping them rememberable. The story about the shrimp in the enemy’s apartment grossed me out and made me wish I had a friend who knew such devious plans!

My only criticism of this book is that it starts dragging at about 89%. The climax happens early and the last 11% drags. A few more sex scenes could have kept the story moving a little better at the end.

Overall, this is a good book. The plot is well developed and enjoyable. I definitely think you should give it a go. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Catching Him

Catching Him (How to Catch an Alpha #1)Catching Him by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not my catch

The best part of this book is the first chapter. Everything thereafter is just okay. I really enjoyed that first meet cute and had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately, it fell flat.

Leah and Tyler are next door neighbors who meet when Leah’s cat goes through Tyler’s window. They fall instantly in love and it’s happily ever after with a little property destruction mystery. I just saved you a few hours of reading.

There were two sex scenes. They were actually pretty good. There could have been one or two more to keep the book more interesting.

This is a series I won’t continue to read. There were some really good/funny parts, but just not enough of them. You might want to give it a try to see if this is the right book for you. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Say You Do

Say You DoSay You Do by Weston Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I Do!

Yes! I do! This sweet romance will hit you in the feels. Luna and Cyrus are two people scorned by terrible previous lovers and meet to plan Cyrus’ brother’s wedding. They become friends with benefits while planning the wedding and the rest is history.

There are some spots in this book that get slow or repeat, but overall, it’s a well written and sweet romance that most people will enjoy.

What about the sex?! Hmmm...the sex scenes were okay. Most of them are in the beginning of the book and I don’t remember them extremely well, which means they weren’t amazing.

Overall, this is a very solid romance. I will probably read more by this author. I hope you give this book a try! Happy reading y’all!

Book Review: Protecting You

Protecting You (Bailey Brothers, #1)Protecting You by Claire Kingsley
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Missing the it factor

In summary, Asher and Grace have known each other their whole lives and at 21, they finally wind up together. Then, a tragic night separates them for 8 years. And that’s basically where this story ends. There’s no final conclusion in this book; it ends as a cliff hanger. There’s another book if you want to see how the story completes.

This book just didn’t have it for me. There wasn’t action, adventure, or witty conversations. It’s decently written, but there isn’t much substance. The characters don’t overcome much to be together. They just love each other and always have. The sex scenes are less than thrilling. Overall, the book feels like it’s missing something.

If mild romance is something you like, then this might be a good book for you. Feel free to give it a try. To me, it was just okay. I’ve read other books by this author that have been much better. I’m not going to read the next book, because I’m 99% positive I already know how it will end. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review – Sin & Surrender

Sin & Surrender (Demigods of San Francisco, #6)Sin & Surrender by K.F. Breene
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Happily Ever After


Wow! What doesn’t this book have?! Love, danger, adventure, mystery...it has it all and it’s been done perfectly. I laughed, I cried, and I couldn’t put this book down.

Here’s a quick synopsis: Alexis and Kieren go the the Summit and establish themselves as leaders not to be messed with. We find out who Harding really is and meet the real Harding. Daisy meets someone who makes her heart flutter. And finally, we reclaim someone we lost and find truths about others.

This feels like the conclusion of the Sin series with an opening for a series with Daisy. I couldn’t imagine a better ending and I really hope we get to experience a series with Daisy. She really has grown on me during this series and I would love for her to have a happier (because this is already her happy) ending.

Overall, this is a great series and if you haven’t started it yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? Start reading this today! Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review – IOU

IOUIOU by Kristy Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

IOU Cashes In

First, I must tell you that I have a thing for crazy women leads. They’re so much more fun to read about than other types of women!

Ainsley is a fun sort of crazy, sea lion loving, woman who loses her cool when she catches her first and only boyfriend naked with her college roommate. Who wouldn’t lose their cool?! Then through a series of events, she winds up on the doorstep of Maverick, asking for a favor; she desperately needs a place to stay. Maverick takes her in and the rest is history.

Ainsley is endearing and someone who most people will relate to and enjoy reading. Maverick is the hot bad boy that most red blooded women (like me!!) wants in their bed. This story is a simple pleaser for both those reasons.

The sex scenes are okay, but nothing that gets you too worked up. So, if you’re reading just for those, you might want to find another book. This one didn’t have me looking for the vibrator or grabbing my husband to release some pressure.

If you think this book sounds up your alley, give it a shot. I wasn’t disappointed and I hope you’re not either! Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review – Mr. Masters is Masterful!

Grab your vibrators and be prepared to set aside several hours, because TL Swan delivers with Mr Masters!

Brielle leaves Australia to be a Nanny for the Masters children. She believes she’s nannying for a female widower who needs to go away for a work trip, but discovers she’s actually there for Julian.

Instantly attracted to Julian, Brielle can’t control her actions. She gets caught invading his personal space, accidentally runs him over with a golf cart, and several other incidents that almost send her home within the first week, but she makes a deal for Julian to keep her for a month.

Brielle’s silliness and wildness is exactly what the Masters family needs. She brings them together and unthaws Julian’s frozen heart.

TL Swan delivers lovable characters and witty dialogue. Adventurous and plentiful sex scenes and a happy ever after with several epilogues that will have you saying “YES! YES! YES!” Read this book! You won’t be disappointed. Happy reading y’all!
