Review: Chaser by Charity Ferrell (Twisted Fox #4)


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

Charity Ferrell gives us a friends-to-lovers romance with her fourth novel in her Twisted Fox series, only this time, she adds some fake romance to it. Now, the fake romance trope has been hit-or-miss for me, but with Chaser, Ferrell succeeds in not just holding my interest but capturing my heart. If you're familiar with the series, then Grace Mitchell and Finn Duke aren't strangers. These two belong to the same close-knit circle of friends, but Grace and Finn ARE the best of friends. So, when Grace realizes that she's pregnant, she knows that she can't expect much of anything from her ex-boyfriend, especially given the fact that she had no idea he was married the entire time they were together. Instead, she turns to her friends, and when they suggest that Finn stand in as her baby's father, he agrees. This was all meant to be pretend, but is there hope for something far more real?

What's a girl to do when one of her favorite tropes happens to be matched up with one of her not-too-favorite tropes? Well, when the story is penned by an author whose work I've enjoyed in the past, then I'll readily take that story on, and in this case, I'm glad that I did. Finn and Grace's story has become my favorite in the series so far, and Charity Ferrell did not disappoint fans readers. Yes, these two were best friends, and they trusted one another immensely, but they also kept several things from each other, the most important being how they truly felt. They also had issues from their past that they needed disclose. I loved seeing them hurdle through the challenges they faced, and I enjoyed having a front row seat as their relationship evolved into something more while still keeping what made their fantastic friendship special intact. Le sigh. Chaser receives 4.5 stars out of 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)

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
