Review: Friend Zone by Nicole Blanchard

by Nicole Blanchard
Release Date: April 23, 2018


Liam Walsh is just a roommate.

Maybe if Charlie St. James repeats it enough, she’ll stop lusting after him. Not that it matters how she feels anyway, because Liam will always see her as one of the boys. Hell, he’s the one who gave her the nickname Charlie as a joke.

Well, the joke’s on her.

Now that she is confined to less than 1,000 square feet with him, she can’t stop thinking about how it would feel to get just a little bit closer.

Charlie St. James is off limits.

She’s been Liam Walsh’s best friend since grade school. He thought it wouldn’t be a big deal to let her crash with him when she needed a place to stay, but he was dead wrong. Knowing only a thin wall separates them when they sleep, that she’s naked in the shower while he lays in bed fantasizing about her, is unbearable.

When their cozy two bedroom goes from friend zone to war zone, they’ll either burn up the sheets or go down in flames.

My review: 3.5 stars
I enjoyed this friends-to-lovers story- it was a quick read that I flew through on a road trip. It took me a bit to get into the book- I think it was around the half way mark before I found myself drawn into the story. I did find that I was interested to see how the story ended.

New Release Review: Honor by Nicole Blanchard

Honor
A First to Fight Novella 
by Nicole Blanchard 
Publication Date: February 13, 2017 
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Holiday



A gorgeous woman, a heart pounding kiss. It should’ve been the start to my new life, but I pushed her away. She deserved better than a wounded warrior, someone who could barely face getting up in the morning. A year later I’ve turned my life around, made myself into a man she could be proud of. A man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And all I want is a second chance with her.

My review: 4.5 stars!
I have previously read the first two books in this series, Anchor and Warrior, and enjoyed them both. Honor is a great novella addition to this series. Scott was introduced in the first book, but this was our first chance to really get to know him. After connecting at Faith's family Christmas celebration, they share amazing chemistry but Scott isn't ready for any type of relationship, so he pushes Faith away, much to her disappointment. Both can't stop thinking about each other throughout the year. The following Christmas they reconnect again with different results. I love these two together, and especially LOVED the epilogue. So sweet!


Here are the other books from this series:

Anchor


I’ll do anything to save her. A woman I’ve never met, whose name I don’t even know, gambled her own life to protect my child. In return, she was taken by a mad man. I’ll put my career, my security, and my life on the line to get her back, even if it means facing the truth about my own mistakes. The only thing she can’t trust me with…is her heart.

Warrior


I thought it was just one night with my brother’s best friend. The boy I had dreamt about since he gave me my first kiss, under the lights of the Ferris wheel. I knew he was about to leave for a year – no chance for a future. But our one night together would create memories for a lifetime. Our paths crossed again, but I had lied, and he was no longer the man he once was. He was warring against demons. Against the silence that was threatening to swallow him. And I had kept a secret from him, one he would never forgive me for. But my secret was about to be ripped open. Displayed for the world on national news. And I had only one way to repair the damage. I had to trust the man I lied to. The man I never got the chance to make a life with. The only man who could save what we had created together.

I knew falling in love with him was bad for us both, but I did it anyway. For a brief moment, we had it all. Even though he was leaving to join the Marines and I had four years of college ahead of me, he was everything I ever wanted, but didn’t think I deserved. But real life has a way of dashing dreams—and that happy future we envisioned together? It disappeared at the hands of a monster. Ten years have passed, and I’m not the same naïve girl who believed in happily-ever-afters. When my mother passes away and I find myself caring for my two teenage brothers, the last thing on my mind should be reconnecting with the hottie-turned-hero who I loved at seventeen. If I want a second chance at his heart, I’ll have to trust him with the secrets that tore us apart. Please note there is a graphic scene that may be a trigger for some.

Savior


I thought I put my past behind me. I lost everything when I testified against my boyfriend for the murders of five women. After the jury delivered a life sentence, I ran. I hoped if I could disappear, maybe the horror he caused would, too. When I return to Florida for the first time after his conviction, I’m determined to face my fears and get my life back. Then, a woman is murdered and I’m the only one who believes her death features the same signature as those I’m trying so hard to forget. Instinct tells me to run again, but local cop Logan Blackwell has never let a suspect–or a woman–get away. He’s made it his own personal mission to solve the case and he needs my help to do it. I have no choice once we learn I’m the next target, but I’m not interested in getting close to another man, especially not a sexy former Marine who has secrets of his own.

My review: 4 Heart-Stopping Stars!
Wow! I am so impressed by this book! I read it in one sitting, staying up way later than I should have to find out how it would end! The suspense was AMAZING and the drama was intense! Chloe is pretty amazing- what a strong brave woman. Gabe is dreamy, a retired Marine and father who loves his daughter. I will for sure be checking out the rest of this series!
