Review: Breach of Contract by Laramie Briscoe (NashVegas #2)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions.

Laramie Briscoe returns to her NashVegas series with the much awaited second book--one that I thought was the conclusion because I thought this was a duet. I swear, when I read the series starter, my understanding was this was going to be a duet, but it turns out that this is a trilogy. Not sure if that was a choice made while book two was being written or if that was the plan all along, but yeah, three books. So, I may be a wee bit frustrated, but such is life as a reader. Luckily, Briscoe has proven to be the sort of author who makes the wait between books in a series well worth it, so I shall endeavor to be patient.

Breach of Contract picks up soon after where Power Couple left off. This is where I'm going to recommend that you stop reading this review if you've yet to read the series starter. The NashVegas series has a continuing story line focused on one particular couple--Everett and Brianna Thompson, aka EJ and Bri--so reading the books in order would be best so you don't miss out on the development of the story and both characters. Book two has EJ and Bri madly in love but dealing with secrets and work complications.

Love conquers all, and when it comes to romances, the guaranteed happily-ever-after reiterates that saying. However, love doesn't exactly equate to a life free of hassle and complications. There's no denying that EJ and Bri love each other, but they're tested time and again in this second book, especially as far as their careers are concerned. Their marriage isn't on as firm a footing as you would think, not when Bri has her cache of secrets, and it's clear that EJ knows she's hiding stuff from him. After all, trust is necessary for any relationship to work. The ending's kind of a cliffhanger, so we have to wait till March 2022 for the series conclusion. For now, Breach of Contract gets 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
