Review: Wrong Number, Right Guy by Elle Casey (The Bourbon Street Boys #1)


Note: This ARC was provided by Montlake Romance via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

When freelance photographer May Wexler receives a text message from an unknown number telling her to go to a bar, she immediately assumes it's from her sister's new phone. Once she gets to the bar, however, all hell breaks lose and May finds herself dragged away from the scene by a man with the world's ugliest beard. With her safety becoming top priority, May puts her life in the hands of the Bourbon Street Boys, a private security firm composed of a myriad of personalities and headed by the too-hot-for-words (and no longer bearded) Ozzie. Soon, she's being offered a job taking advantage of her photography skills and her gift for taking note of details. While the wrong number may have led to more complications than she could have ever imagined, May wonders if it also led her to the right guy for her--even if he is her boss.

For the record, I've read books that have made me laugh out loud before, but Wrong Number, Right Guy is the very first book that had me laughing non-stop (a mix of laughter without any sound and some actual snorting) for a good five minutes, leading to my best friend looking at me like I had finally lost my mind. And then it happened again a couple pages later and became a regular occurrence until I finished this The Bourbon Street Boys series starter from bestselling author Elle Casey. This was such a wonderfully delightful read, one filled with hilarity and a good amount of suspense and romance for thrills and chills. It takes a message from a wrong number to lead May Wexler on a misadventure of a lifetime, but one that brings her to a set of quirky people and a guy named Ozzie who has her drooling worse than her dog Felix.

I would have given this book a five-plus-starred rating for the entertainment value alone, but I'm going to have to bring it down a notch because I wanted to learn more about Ozzie and his history (and a last name would have been nice as well). He's such an intense guy but he's also someone who takes care of  his team and those who mean the most to him, which includes May, Felix, and Ozzie's dog Sahara. There were also some gaps that I wish were filled, like is Oswald really Ozzie's name and if so, how did May figure it out. I'm going to assume that the other ongoing cases will be resolved in future installments, but then I've been known to be wrong before (yes, it does happen). Still, I loved May, Ozzie, and the rest of the rambunctious cast and this side-splitting 2015 fave romantic suspense story. Five stars for Wrong Number, Right Guy! ♥

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
