Review: Just One Touch by C.A. Harms (Oh Tequila #3)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via HEA PR & More.

C.A. Harms is back with the latest novel in her Oh Tequila series, which is my favorite series from the author so far. Just One Touch is the story of college student Clayton Powell who falls victim to a major prank that lands him in the hospital. One look at Clay and nurse Emelie tags him as nothing more than a frat boy who doesn't do much of anything other than party and be irresponsible. She isn't exactly a fan of guys who fall under that category, not when she found herself pregnant as a teenager. Her world revolves around her two-year-old son Ethan and her nursing career. Emelie doesn't have much time for much else, especially not a guy like Clay. Only... There's far more to Clay than meets the eye. Maybe she had him pegged wrong. Maybe he isn't just a guy who's all about his fraternity and bagging the next girl to occupy his bed. Even if Clay can convince Emelie that he isn't such a bad guy after all, it's going to take a whole lot more for her to see that maybe, just maybe, he's a keeper--someone she can entrust not only her heart but that of her son. It may take more than a touch.

I've read a few of Harms's novels and series in the past, but there's just something extra special about her Oh Tequila stories. It could be that fine balance between the lightheartedness and the hint of angst that she manages in every single book in the collection that I've read so far. In the case of Clay and Emelie's story, there's no denying that the Clay and his frat brothers know how to have fun and have gotten themselves in more than their fair share of trouble--a lot of which was inflicted on each other. However, there's something more to each guy that I've encountered so far, and Clay certainly carries that on here. I liked how this book wasn't just about Clay and Emelie finding a way to their own happily-ever-after but also figuring out if their actually able to be one cohesive unit with Ethan in the mix. In as much as Emelie brings out a more mature and responsible side to Clay, he's also the one who opens her eyes to the possibilities of having a life beyond the limitations that she's set for herself. That's three for three for this series! I'm giving Just One Touch five stars. ♥

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

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
