Review: My Kind of Beautiful by Nikki Ash (Finding Love #2)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Enticing Journey Book Promotions.

Is falling in love with your best friend worth risking a lifelong friendship? That question is at the heart of Nikki Ash's second novel in her Finding Love series. Twenty-five-year-old firefighter and paramedic Aleczander Sterling and twenty-one-year-old college student and surfer Alexandria Scott have been best friends for what feels like forever, and that friendship means more to them than they can say. Which is why there's simply no way Alec is going to confess that he's been in love with Lexi since they were teenagers. But what would he do if he found out Lexi felt the same way, both when it came to being in love with him and fearing she may lose him if things don't work out? Will either of them have the courage to take a chance? Even if they do, not everyone may be happy for them.

I really enjoyed Alec and Lexi's story! I understood their fear when it came to their friendship and their love for each other. These two were so comfortable with one another, and the fact that their families were so entwined and had been for years added this whole other bit of complication. I liked seeing them evolve from best friends to lovers and to realize that love and happiness are worth taking a risk for. I'm also looking forward to the next couple in the series because their interactions certainly have me very curious as to what story Nikki Ash has waiting for them. 4.5 stars for My Kind of Beautiful.

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)

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
