BLURB

They're just friends.

At least, that's what she thinks. Him? He has other plans.

Bennett Brinkman is San Francisco baseball's golden boy―focused, disciplined, and very bad at ignoring the one woman he shouldn't want. Falling for his sister's best friend was inevitable, even though she's always seen him as safe, familiar, and firmly off-limits.

Bower knows exactly why wanting Bennett is a terrible idea. She's fiercely loyal to her best friend and well aware that crossing this particular line could blow everything up. But when she moves into Bennett's apartment building, that "just friends" boundary begins to blur in the most tempting ways.

The banter comes fast.

The sparks come faster.

And pretending it's "no big deal" is getting ridiculous.

As feelings get messier and attraction turns undeniable, Bennett and Bower must decide if risking their family ties is worth chasing the love that's been in front of them all along.


My review: 5 stars!

This was an absolute hoot! Meghan Quinn is the queen of hilarious antics and banter, and she did not disappoint with Bennett and Bower's story. (And oh gosh- more of the Gladdy Daddys group texts!) I adore friends-to-lovers stories and Bennett's long-time crush on Bower was so charming and sweet and their journey felt effortless and real. The narration was done in duet style by Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor along with a full cast (my favorite!!!!) including Emma Wilder, Connor Crais, J.F. Harding, Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter and was so so so good!

New Release Review: Not Your Biggest Fan by Sara Ney


NOT YOUR BIGGEST FAN

Sara Ney

Release Date: January 28




Blurb:

USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney sizzles with a quick-witted, sexy romp about an eager entrepreneur and a cocky football star who couldn’t be more different—or more into each other.

Harlow James is destined to rock the dating world. The creator of Kissmet, the app helping singles find love, she’s in New York to secure advertisers. But the sassy, small-town girl can’t help meddling in other people’s business.

When she runs into a muscular stranger at her go-to food truck, Harlow doesn’t realize he’s Landon “Andy” Burke, the NFL’s most-wanted free agent, in town to talk contracts. She just sees a hottie about to get burned by undercooked street food. Though she tries to warn him, he shrugs her off, making a little wager instead.

In a messy twist of fate, Andy finds himself in the same hotel as Harlow. When she collects on their bet, they make a mind-blowing—and bed-rocking—connection. But after the weekend, she goes home to Green Bay to her goofy dad and corgi, ready to focus everything on work again. Kissmet, however, has other ideas, when Andy knocks on her door…

My review: 4 stars

I always know I'm in for a hilarious good time when I dive into a Sara Ney book, and Harlow and Andy's story was great from the meet-cute to the HEA. I loved how sassy and fun Harlow is (her conversations with her friends are so funny!) and Andy was a perfect balance of a strong, yet sweet man. Their antics were a delight- the mustaches had me cackling for sure. Harlow's dad Big Steve was a hoot. I really loved that there was no real third act break-up type drama. This was such a fun book!
