Review: Kiss Cam by Anie Michaels (With a Kiss #1)


Note: This ebook was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions in exchange for an honest review.

Riley Smith has nothing to complain about. Her life is the kind that other young women her age would envy. So, definitely no complaints on her end. As a matter of fact, she's found something new to celebrate: a promotion! She's got a ticket to a basketball game she's been looking forward to, but having the dreaded Kiss Cam? Not so much. But that was before she found herself the focus of the camera and the other person sharing that temporary limelight is the hot guy beside her. You would think it would be awkward locking lips with a stranger, but this kiss? It was above and beyond anything Riley was expecting, and her unwitting partner readily agrees. As a matter of fact, Camden Rogers is so taken by Riley and the kiss that he wants to explore their connection. Can Cam convince Riley that there's far more to them than a kiss and their differences and prove they want the same happy ending?
Kiss Cam is the first novel in Anie Michaels's With a Kiss series and it's a lighthearted, nearly angst-free story that's quite sweet yet has some steamy moments as well. Cam was as close to perfect as one could get book boyfriend-wise, which did make him come off as so ideal that there was no way anyone could be THAT perfect and exist in the real world. And yes, I know that sounds weird since he's a fictional character but you know what I mean (well, at least I hope you do!). But keeping my cynical side quiet, I adored Cam and I thought he and Riley were a great couple and their love story made for a fun read. What stopped me from giving the book a higher rating is simply because I'm the kind of romance reader who likes some angst in the love story I'm reading. But if you're looking for a well-written, entertaining,  light romance with likable characters, Kiss Cam may be right up your alley. Four stars. ♥

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

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)

Image
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
