New Release Review: Between Now and Forever by Adriana Locke
Between Now and Forever by Adriana LockeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Between Now and Forever checked off so many boxes for me- Jay and Gabrielle's grumpy/sunshine, neighbors-to lovers-story was so enjoyable. The characters and dialog felt so authentic and believable. Their slow burn romance felt real and honest and I adored Gabrielle's friends. I listened to the audiobook, and narrators Oliver Clarke and Rachel Vivette were excellent. Both were new to me, and I enjoyed their performances so much that I'll be seeking out more of their work.

New Release Review: The Pucker Next Door by Sara Ney
The Pucker Next Door by Sara NeyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
4.5 stars
Author Sara Ney always makes me cackle and I adored grumpy introvert Brodie! The squirrel meet-cute was a hoot and this was such a fun read. I definitely liked Lizzy more and more as the book went on and by the epilogue I was all in for this couple. Brodie's roommates were a hoot and I hope Sully gets a book!

New Audiobook Release Review: The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella
The Burnout by Sophie KinsellaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I borrowed the audiobook for The Burnout from my local library, and I enjoyed it so much! (I especially enjoyed that the narrator pronounced the name of the female main character Sasha the same as I pronounce my name- Sash-uh!) Sophie Kinsella has long been one of my favorite authors, and I enjoyed the zany setting of The Rilston with all it's quirks and unusual employees too. Desk clerk Cassidy was a hoot (watch for her hilarious side job) and former surfing teacher Terry's motto "The ride is it." is one we should all take to heart. Sasha and Finn's slow-burn romance was sweet and tender and heart-warming and such a joy to read.

New Release Review: Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner
Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner is now live!
Leo F*cking Hernandez.
North Boston University’s star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.
And now?
He’s my new roommate.
I used to think I loved him.
But that was before I hated him.
He doesn’t remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldn’t have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist.
“The Pit,” as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either.
But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, I’ve learned to ignore him — no matter how he’s tried to get under my skin.
At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can’t refuse.
Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess.
Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It’s impossible.
Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.
He’s broken my heart once.
I won't let him do it again.

Meet Kandi
Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing "emotional rollercoaster" stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance -- in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you're a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she's your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women's Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her "freedom of press."
She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn't writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

New Release Review: Runaway Groomsman by Meghan Quinn
“He runs from the altar—and finds love in the place he least expects.”
https://mybook.to/RunawayGroomsman
About RUNAWAY
GROOMSMAN:
Needing to lie low amid the media
fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he
crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a
family-owned business and Sawyer’s new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with
renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make
ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So
when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him
off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at
every turn.
As Fallon comes closer to saving the
family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome
screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer’s
notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be
the setting for a new romance—or is true love just a Hollywood cliché?

My review: 5 stars!
I felt an instant and deep connection to this story when heroine Fallon's grandfather Sully was introduced. That relationship and situation was so well done, I could give the book 5 stars just for that. (I have recently been on that same journey with a family member so it really hit home for me.) I found Fallon and our hero Sawyer's story to be so fun and their dialog was so darn funny and witty and I smiled so much. I also loved the connection Sawyer made with Sully and the projects they worked on together. Canoodle was such a neat setting and author Quinn always does a fantastic job with descriptions and neat aspects of small-town life, it all seemed so real. I am crossing my fingers for another book with this cast of characters!
