Review: The Day the Jerk Started Falling by Max Monroe (Jerk #2)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the authors via Social Butterfly PR.

We followed Luciana Wright and Oliver Arsen's story in The Day I Stopped Falling for Jerks, where Lucky shared the beginning and end of their seemingly ill-fated romance. Now, the writing duo of Max Monroe is giving Ollie his turn to share his side of story with The Day the Jerk Started Falling, but will this end just as unhappily as the first book or could Ollie and Lucky finally get things right to get their much-awaited--and maybe hard-earned--happy ending?

After everything was revealed by Lucky on her podcast, Ollie takes to the proverbial airwaves--I haven't had time to research on whether or not streaming podcasts still involve airwaves--to let his voice be heard. He's become the jerk in this entire scenario. She loved him, he left her and that's that. Right? Ollie's version isn't your ordinary love-'em-and-leave-'em story, because yes, he did love Lucky and yes, he did leave her, but their story is far from over.

I liked Lucky and Ollie and I definitely wanted them to get their happily-ever-after, which is why I was so looking forward to reading this sequel. The writing is just as great, but I do think that rehashing a lot of the story again had me skimming a bit. Yeah, this was from a different point-of-view, but it still felt like the same story. That being said, I did like how everything evolved after things ended between them. Four stars for The Day the Jerk Started Falling. ♥

Release Blitz: Saved by Hazel James

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

Blue Skies (Blue Skies #1) by Marie Sinclair Release Date: October 11, 2023 About Blue Skies Greg loves his job as a flight attendant. If only his love life could make him as happy, he’d be all set. Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. 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
