Review: The Honest Affair by Nicole French (Rose Gold #3)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Wildfire Marketing Solutions.

Now, this is how you wrap up a series, especially that I've become quite emotionally attached to and invested in! Nicole French delivers the third and final full-length novel, but fourth book release in her Rose Gold series, and it's every bit as exceptional as I hoped it would be. Because The Honest Affair is the conclusion to a series that has a continuing story line, you need to read the books in order--The Scarlet Night, The Other Man, The Perfect Woman, and The Honest Affair--so as to understand everything that is happening and have the most optimum reading experience and appreciation for the story and characters. So, if you've been waiting to binge on these books, now's the time!

This picks up where the second one left off. Matthew Zola is caught between the job he was sworn to do and the woman who solely owns his heart and soul. His love for Nina de Vries has been complicated from the get-go, an affair that was fated to become more from the very beginning their paths crossed. She's shackled to a husband she longs to be free from and ties to a powerful family. He was the one who was supposed to be her prince in shining armor--the one who would rescue her--but he's no prince and by the end, everything about him could be tarnished, but for Nina, Zola is set to put it all on the line.

Talk about being on the edge of my seat for most of this book! Goodness, but how worried I was for these two. Zola and Nina were up against seemingly insurmountable odds, and while it may sound cheesy, love--their kind of true, passionate, all-consuming love--can be one heck of a motivating factor. From the moment these main characters got together in the prequel novella till the the conclusion to their epic love story, Nicole Franch held my sole attention and all things Rose Gold had my affection. Five stars for The Honest Affair.

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
