Book Review: Resisting the Lawyer

Resisting the Lawyer (Dirty Hot Resistance #3)

Resisting the Lawyer by Emelia Blair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You won’t object to this book

This sweet romance stars Lucas and Elise and adorable little Sophie. Lucas needs to convince Elise that he’s interested in her and her daughter as more than just friends. Meanwhile, Sophie’s sperm donor keeps making Elise’s life hell.

Overall, this third book in the series is good. I didn’t connect with Elise and Lucas as much as I did with some of the other characters, but I did like how Elise was a strong mamma bear when needed.

The sex was just okay in this book. That could have been because I wasn’t that into Elise and Lucas. Or maybe it was because it took so long for it to happen. Either way,it left me unsatisfied.

I still suggest reading this book and hope to come back to this series and readJace’s story. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Resisting the Brit

Resisting the Brit (Dirty Hot Resistance, #1)

Resisting the Brit by Emelia Blair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

She couldn’t resist him long!

Lana and Oliver meet at the office when Oliver comes in as CEO to cut dead weight. After trying to resist him for a while, she gives in and sleeps with the beautiful Brit. There’s a little family drama that keeps the story interesting and rounds out this romance.

I wouldn’t really call this an enemies to lovers romance, but there is some tension in the beginning...sexual tension!!

There are solid sex scenes in the beginning of this book, but none in the end. I would have appreciated on final scene at the end.

This book was a 3.5 and I round up for the author’s benefit. There are tons of grammar issues, but the writing is pretty good. Give this one a shot! Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Resisting the CEO

Resisting the CEO (Dirty Hot Resistance #2)

Resisting the CEO by Emelia Blair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

0 resistance to love

Caleb has secrets from his past. The biggest secret is the girl, Kendall, who he lost, but finds many years later and hires as his assistant. She doesn’t recognize him right away, but starts having suspicions that Caleb isn’t who he says he is.

In this book we find out how much heart Caleb really has. He is so sweet on Kendall. I think every woman wants a Caleb in their life who just wants them to be happy no matter what. I know I do!

Kendall is a spunky girl with a tragic and dangerous past. It’s easy to connect with her and want her to find her happily ever after with Caleb.

This book has fewer editing/grammar issues than the first book in the series, which makes it easier to read. Yay!!

I liked how the author showed a little of Lana and Oliver and the budding romance between Lucas and Elise. I’m excited to read the next book and see what happens with them!

Are you wondering about the sex? Well, there are a few sex scenes. One big one and maybe another smaller one or two. That seems to be the typical MO of this author. I feel like there could have been another scene at the end of the book.

This book is a quick and sweet story. I think y’all should give it a try! Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Seven Day Wife

Seven Day Wife: A Fake Marriage Office Romance by Mia Faye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The title says it all

The title describes the book exactly. Except, I’m not sure where seven day wife comes from. I thought they got fake married after seven days of knowing each other and they were fake married for longer than seven days. It was hard keeping track of time in this book.

Here’s a quick summary of the book: Cam and Yvette meet outside her apartment and hook up almost immediately. Then Cam finds out Yvette is a new employee at his company. Cam eventually lies to his boss (who has Alzheimer’s) and says he’s married to Yvette. This little lie continues as Cam tries to convince his daughter’s mother, Vicki the witch, that he wants full custody of her. This sets up for a decent book.

Overall, the book was okay. I didn’t quite click with Yvette or Cam. Cam started out fairly immature for a soon to be CEO and Yvette seemed pretty naive. Their dialogue was okay, but I didn’t find myself laughing out loud or shocked by anything that happened.

The love scenes were good, but there weren’t that many of them. I got bored with the book about 1/2 of the way in. The first part of the book flew, but then it just stopped. Feel free to give this book a try, but don’t have super high expectations for it. Happy reading y’all!
