Review: The Stud Next Door by Kendall Ryan (Frisky Business #3)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

There's some frisky business happening between the single dad and his daughter's nanny in book three of Kendall Ryan's Frisky Business series. The Stud Next Door is the story of thirty-year-old Connor Blake, who went from single and ready to mingle to single dad needing a nanny so bad...for his daughter, Marley...okay, and for himself, but in a completely different way. His new next-door neighbor, Jessa McClaine, turns out to be a godsend. He immediately notices the care and ease she has with Marley; he also can't help but notice just how gorgeous the twenty-something woman is. But if it's one thing about nannies that Connor knows, it's that you never sleep with the nanny. However, there's just something about Jessa that calls to him. Will becoming involved with her, especially knowing that she's leaving, end up costing Connor and Marley broken hearts?

This was a really cute story! I admittedly have a thing for single parent romances, what with it presenting a different set of dynamics compared to the usual. Connor and Jessa definitely had chemistry, but I appreciated that they tried their darnedest to resist the temptation that the other represented. After all, Marley had to take precedence over anything and everything else. Naturally, resistance was futile, and I loved seeing Connor and Jessa form their own family unit with Marley. Also, hats off to Kendall Ryan for not making Marley's mom, Beth, some evil villain who was set on wreaking havoc on Connor and Jessa's flourishing relationship. Yes to healthy co-parenting! The Stud Next Door was an easy, breezy read, and one that I enjoyed from the beginning till the end. 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

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
