Book Review: Happily Letter After

Happily Letter After by Vi Keeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sadie + Sebastian forever

I LOVE fate books. This fate book hits you right in the feels and you won’t be able to put it down!

Here’s a little about the book:

Sadie is a dating columnist who also does the Santa wishes in the winter. In the summer, she receives a Santa letter from a little girl who reminds her a lot of herself and can’t help but honor the little girl’s request.

This one request snowballs into multiple requests and eventually leads to Sadie becoming the little girls dog trainer and a huge crush on the little girl’s Dad, Sebastian.

Here’s what makes this book special:

This book has that IT factor that made it hard to put down. Every time you were about to put it down, something else would happen and you convince yourself you just need to get past this event. That event leads to another and another and pretty soon you realize it’s 3 am and your alarm is going off in 3 hours. Dang!

There are a few well done and realistic sex scenes and a lot of lead up to the first scene. Yippee! Nicely done ladies!

More than anything else, Sadie really impressed me. The way she embraces the death of Sebastian’s wife, Amanda, and ensures their little girl never forgets her is amazing. Her mindset and lack of jealousy shows incredibly mature she is for her age. I absolutely loved her way of handling every situation.

Finally, the end had me in tears of happiness. Even recalling reading it is making me tear up. Even though I understood why they did it, I was so mad when they tore up the letter without reading it, but don’t give up folks! Read all the way through the final epilogue. You will get the answer you’re looking for 😉

This is a must read! I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Single Dad Seeks Juliet

Single Dad Seeks Juliet by Max Monroe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Better than a Romeo and Juliet

Max Monroe delivers another hilarious 🤣 page turning RomCom! You won’t want to put this one down!

Jake is a single dad, who’s teenage daughter signs him up for a Bachelor Anonymous contest to try and have him meet a woman through a series of blind dates who he will fall in love with. Holley is the reporter assigned to documenting and organizing the dates. Little does she know, she’s the one who is falling in love with the Bachelor.

This book is so good! I had forgotten how funny Max Monroe is. My husband asked me a few times what was so funny while I was reading. I read some of the parts to him and he snickered too!

I normally love strong funny women leads. Holley isn’t the kind of strong who would be a leading FBI agent, but she is the kind of strong who goes after what she wants when she figures out what that is. She may do it in an awkward and often hilarious way, but she will do it.

Speaking of doing it 😉 For those of you interested, there is one sex scene. By the time it comes around, you’re already so worked up from the previous “almost sex” events, the release is definitely needed!

Overall, this book is definitely worth the read! And hopefully I’ll remember to read Garret’s story when it comes out. Happy reading y’all!!

Movie Review: Beverly Hills Wedding

Image via: https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/beverly-hills-wedding

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lost loves/second chances. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before…I have a thing for lost loves and second chances. I didn’t know this was going to be one of these movies! What a happy surprise!

Childhood sweethearts galore! Jordan + Sofia and Cory + Molly were all childhood sweethearts, but Cory and Molly grew apart as they grew older. Over the years, Jordan and Sofia grew closer and become engaged in the beginning of the movie. Molly, a photographer and Sofia’s sister, offers to be their wedding planner.

Molly knows Sofia and Jordan are on a budget, so she enters them into a free wedding contest in Beverly Hills, and she wins! This earns a free planning trip to Beverly Hills for the foursome. The catch? The wedding is pre-scheduled to be on Valentine’s day, which is only 6 weeks away. Will the shortened engagement pull Jordan and Sofia apart? Or will being in close quarters bring Cory and Molly together? Watch and see!

Here’s my two cents. Fair warning, there will probably be a few spoilers.

First, lets talk about the leads.

Brandan Penny isn’t one of the leads that typically makes me drool or fantasize about being stranded on a deserted island with (sorry Brandan!), but dang – I could get lost in those blue eyes! Do they do extra touch-ups on his eyes during his movies or are they that beautiful? I could lose myself in them for days.

Equally as impressive as Brandan’s eyes was Brooke’s hair. I wish I had her stylist! In the era of COVID hair, Brooke is my idol! Plus, her outfits were adorable. She always looks so classy!

I think we’ve established that both leads are beautiful in their own right, but together, they’re fantastic. This was a great Hallmark pairing. They had beauty, chemistry, and bantered very well. Plus, you found yourself wanting them to be together. I think I actually moaned at one point when they almost kissed, but at the last minute, Molly pulled away shouting, “Seating charts!” Ugh! Molly!

Don’t worry though folks, because this is Hallmark. And in being Hallmark, of course there are happy endings for everyone. BUT…I did need a few tissues. Maybe I’m just hormonal or maybe the ending was that good. You can be the judge. Either way, I definitely had tears during the speeches at the end of the movie. They were so sweet and perfect.

Movie Review: Snowkissed

Image via: https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/a-winter-getaway

Rating

I was really excited to watch this movie from the first preview I saw a few weeks ago. I adore Jen Lilley. Although I need to say that I prefer her with darker hair instead of blonde. But regardless of hair color, she made this movie something special.

I love quirky women and Jen’s character, Kate – or as I call her – always play it safe Kate is definitely quirky. See, Kate is scared of living, so she stays in New York and never ventures outside city limits. In fact, she doesn’t like being country quiet, being outside, and her version of rock climbing is in a temperature controlled building with ropes and safety precautions abound.

However, Kate needs to travel to Canada to visit with an Author for an article she’s writing. While there, she makes plans to stay at Noah’s B&B. Unfortunately, Noah’s business isn’t doing well, so he’s decided to expand into giving tours. He asks Kate and Jen to take a 3 day adventure tour and provide feedback on his tour giving abilities.

Boy oh boy does Kate give Noah feedback! She’s ruthless. LOL. Now granted, Noah did need some serious help. He was horrible, but with Kate’s help, he finds his stride in being a tour guide and Kate finds her stride in living life.

I loved this movie for several reasons. If you want to analyze this movie, it had many life lessons. One of the biggest being not to waste life. Don’t be afraid to experience life and don’t be closed off to new opportunities. Sometimes we put blinders on and forget to take them off to see what else is out there. GIVE NEW EXPERIENCES A TRY! You never know what you might end up liking.

Another reason I loved this movie was that it made me laugh…A LOT. Noah’s ridiculous jokes even had my husband laughing (shhhh…don’t tell him I told you all that he was watching this with me or that he ENJOYED IT!).

I was just reminiscing about the beautiful herb garden I had when I was growing up. Good thymes.

Why do melons have weddings? Because they cantaloupe!

What do sprinters eat before a race? Nothing, they fast!

I only picked 3, but if you click them, they’ll take you to another 100+ jokes I found on bestoflife.com. Hehe. Check them out! Also, check out this movie! It was definitely worth watching. For those of you who like sales, you’ll love this! It’s like a two for one, because Kate’s photographer also has a little romance going on. Happy movie watching y’all!!

Book Review: Falling for Your Best Friend’s Twin

Falling for Your Best Friend's Twin (Love Clichés, #1)

Falling for Your Best Friend’s Twin by Emma St. Clair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Abby + Zane forever

Abby is a cute and quirky computer programmer who is hired to diagnose and fix a bug Zane’s company has with their software. Zane is also Abby’s best friend, Zoey’s, HOT twin brother.

Zane and Abby have known each other for a while, but this is the first time they’ve been this close. Abby has always had a little crush on Zane, but now her crush has escalated.

Will they get together? Does Zane feel the same way for Abby? I’ll give you a hint…

This book would make a good Hallmark movie! They could even have sequels for each of Abby’s friends!

The Hallmark hint also included the lack of sex in the book. There isn’t anything other than kissing. So, if you’re looking for a hot and steamy romance that’ll have you reaching for relief, this isn’t the right book for you.

However, if you’re looking for a book that’ll have you laughing out loud. Look no further. Emma St. Clair delivered comedy like a pro. This book had me cracking up several times. Give this book a try. It was a good one! Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Whiskey Chaser

Whiskey Chaser by Lucy Score
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bootleg Justice for the win!

This book is wonderful! I love the southernisms and characters. Scarlet is a hoot and a half. I love her spirit. She's a ball busting, confident woman that most women hope to be. She stands up for what's right and doesn't take no for an answer.

I wish I lived in a place like Bootleg, where family is everything and Bootleg is family. There’s a missing girl unsolved mystery thrown in to make things interesting and a fair amount of steamy sex!

I was super excited there was an epilogue. AND the epilogue included sneak peaks (but not too much) about the brothers. Loved this!

Give this book a try. You'll be laughing through most of it! I hope you love it as much as me. Happy reading y’all!

Book Review: My (Mostly) Fake Romance

My (Mostly) Fake Wedding (My Mostly Funny Romance #2)

My (Mostly) Fake Wedding by Penelope Bloom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A (mostly) good book

This book wasn’t quite as good as the first one in the series, but it was funny and cute. I didn’t have that same “can’t put it down” feeling though.

In this book, Chris is about to be kicked off his football team and Damon sets him up with a fake marriage to help keep him on the team.

Chris is a big man-child. Everything is a joke, except for his feelings for Belle. He needs to come to his senses and tell Belle how he really feels before it’s too late.

Belle is a wedding planner who was recently humiliated at a wedding she was planning for her childhood sweetheart. She signs on to help plan Chris’ wedding, but can’t set aside her feelings for him.

Lots of great scenes in this book! From the mile high club walk of shame to the flower garden in Europe, I enjoyed so much of this!

If you’re looking for the same level of sex as the first book, I think you’ll be disappointed. I felt like the first book had more/better sex scenes, but this one had more humor.

Give this book and series a try. It’s a solid pick for your next reading indulgence. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon

My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon by Lauren Landish
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lorenzo to the Rescue

The youngest Andrews, Abi, gets herself in the craziest messes! This time, she tells a childhood nemesis she’s on her honeymoon with Lorenzo, a chef she only met once at her sister’s wedding.

Abi is crazy and fun and everything you want in a bestie. She lives her life doing what she wants and has created a flower business from the ground up, because she loves making flower arrangements.

Lorenzo is a bastard chef who flits from kitchen to kitchen around the world. Originally from Italy, he makes amazing fettuccini that a famous bride to be must have at her wedding, which sends him to Aruba to work on the same wedding as Abi.

Lorenzo is the biker, tatted up, Italian speaking bad boy that women dream about having in bed. He may be this “bastard” chef on the surface, but he’s actually an awesome guy. He’s the sweetest to Abi and he has you saying, “awwww...” practically every time he opens his mouth.

Read this book! You’ll enjoy everything about it. From the vibrator grabbing sex scenes to Jane’s cut a bitch craziness this book is great! Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: How to Wife Your Nanny

How To Wife Your Nanny by Melinda Minx
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cute fast read

If you’re looking for a sweet and fast read, choose this book!

Noah and Lacey kind of have a history together. Noah’s company is the publisher for Lacey’s books, but his company hasn’t been very fair to her. When his daughter starts reading and enjoying the books, he sets out to meet Lacey and convince her to write more books. But it’s not as easy as just asking and soon Noah needs a nanny too. So, Noah convinces Lacey to be his daughter’s Nanny and write more books for $1 million dollars.

This book is cute and sweet, so don’t expect an action packed adventure. There are a few funny parts to enjoy and a small climax where the characters need to prove their relationship. I really liked the Chance Charter rip off of Harry Potter parts.

There were a few small sex scenes that were solid. They weren’t so great that you’ll need relief, but they were well done.

Give this book a try. It’s a good romance that’ll have you saying awwww. Happy reading y’all!

Book Review: Hate the Player

Hate the Player by Max Monroe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love the player!!

This book had me from the moment it started! Max Monroe delivers another solid RomCom book. I laughed, I cried, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Birdie Harris is a country singer who lands a role in a movie with lead actor Andrew Watson. Andrew is Hollywood’s biggest player while Birdie seems to be something of America’s sweetheart. They begin a hate turned love romance that will hit you in all the feels. We even get to see Billie and Luca return in this book with a pregnant Billie!!

Solid sex scenes and sweet romance complete an already great book.

This book is part of a series, but could definitely be read as a stand alone. Whatever you do, make sure you read it! Happy reading y’all!

Movie Review: Under the Autumn Moon

Hallmark Romance Movie: Under the Autumn Moon

I have a soft spot in my heart for ranch romances. Especially ranches that are going under and a woman comes in to help save the day.

In this case, Alex is the savior. She is a career woman who comes to the ranch to scout it for a development opportunity. While on the ranch she meets Josh. Alex agrees to stay longer on the ranch to get to know the ranch better. While there, she rediscovers her love of the ranch and everything that comes with it, including Josh.

This was one of those sweet movies that makes you say “aaaaahhhhh….” It isn’t one that you absolutely love, but it’s a solid three out of 5 stars and you’ll find yourself agreeable to watching it again when it’s on.

In some ways this reminds me of A Summer Romance with Ryan Paevey. I liked that one a little more. So, if you like these ranch romances too, you might want to check out A Summer Romance too.
