Review: The Booty by Willa Nash (Calamity, Montana #2.5)


The Booty is a free short story Willa Nash (aka Devney Perry) made available to her newsletter subscribers in December of last year. I'm only writing review today because, well, it was the holidays and real life took precedence, and while I still read a whole lot, I didn't post reviews on every single thing I'd read. Anyway, this quickie is part of the author's Calamity, Montana series but can be read as a complete standalone. Here we've got Lola Jennings, a public interest lawyer from Portland who is in Calamity Falls, Montana to offer support to her best friend who is in the middle of getting a divorce. The second-to-the-last thing she expects is a Valentine's Day hookup with the winner of the Wrangler Butt Contest. The last thing she expects? To come face-to-face with him sitting right beside her bestie's husband. The guy with the oh-so-hot booty is Aiden Archer: Divorce Lawyer.

This was a fun read, one that packed humor, heart, and heat in a handful of pages--well, a handful compared to a full-length read. I was very much entertained by the banter between the main characters, Lola and Aiden. They were equally feisty and flirty, and I was all for it. The fact that they were lawyers who had a romantic streak to them made them even more appealing! Seriously, these two had me grinning a little too hard, to the point that my cheeks were all achy. The back and forth they had going on made it abundantly clear that things would never get boring between them. I also appreciated that there weren't any declarations of love made, but that it was made clear that they both recognized what was happening with them was something extraordinary and deserved to be committed to. Short, sweet, and sexy, The Booty wholly satisfies. Five 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)

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
