Review: Hot Heir by Pippa Grant (The Royals #3)


Note: A review copy was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions.

If ever I need a good laugh, all I have to do is pick up a novel penned by Pippa Grant. I've been feeling under the weather this week, and reading Grant's Hot Heir in time for the book's cover reveal was exactly what I needed. As is the case with most of her novels, this is loosely tied with a number of her previous releases. That being said, Viktor (whose last name I do believe was never mentioned) and Peach Maloney's story can absolutely be read on its own. So, if you happen to be new to this author's writing or haven't had time to read any or all of the previous interconnected books, you'll totally be fine starting here.

Viktor takes his duty as a royal bodyguard seriously, but when an unexpected kind of royal duty calls him back to Amoria. With the passing of its king who left no heir--the same king who forcibly took the throne from Viktor's grandfather decades ago--Viktor is called upon by parliament to take his rightful place as its new monarch. The one caveat? He must be married. As desperate as he may be, there's simply no way he could ever agree to marry Peach Maloney. They can barely stand each other. However, she's just as, if not more, desperate, needing a husband so she can adopt her half-sister. Will these two be able to convince everyone their fake royal romance is real? Maybe even...themselves?

I laughed, and more importantly, I loved. Viktor and Peach were the most unlikely of couples, which is probably why I was cheering them on towards a happily-ever-after with even more enthusiasm. All that back and forth and button-pushing they had going on was obviously an odd mix of small-town, royal foreplay. Pippa Grant offered up a romance that I could simply lose myself in, and I appreciated it more than words could say. In the three hours it took me to finish, I'd forgotten I wasn't feeling well. Hot Heir gets 4.5 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

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
