Review: The One I Want by S.L. Scott


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

The One I Want is the newest release from S.L. Scott, and while it can be read as a standalone, those familiar with the author's previous release, Never Got Over You, will be happy to come across some memorable characters. I'm guessing this is an interconnected series of standalones, but I don't think it's been officially labeled a series, so there's that.

Andrew Christiansen is a no-nonsense sort of man, and his life is all about his work and his family. He doesn't have much time for much else. And then Juniper Jacobs crosses his path. The two couldn't be any more different, but by some miracle, a friendship is forged. Then becomes something more. She wants forever, but can she have that with her boss?

S.L. Scott delivers a good, entertaining read, one that I tip my hat off to particularly because Andrew is a truly nice guy regardless of his status in life. Why the recognition? Because having wealthy men act entitled, alpha, and like they're God's gift to women is ho-hum and so-not-yum. Andrew has got a good heart to go with his fine business sense.

Juni--whose name I adore for personal reasons--is just who Andrew needs in his life. Yes, they're opposites, but they balance each other out well, and don't we all need that sort of thing? Rascal gets bonus points because, hello, how could I need give those points?! The supporting characters were highly memorable as well. The One I Want receives 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
