Review: Trouble by Tia Louise


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Grey's Promotions.

Tia Louise is back with her newest standalone, and it's a companion novel to her previous release, Twist of Fate. If you're familiar with that aforementioned book, then you may recall Spencer Carrollton and Joselyn Winthrop. He's a thirty-two-year-old billionaire who has no interest in being tied down to any singular woman; she's a twenty-five-year-old massage therapist with a specialty in sports medicine who believes in happily-ever-afters. Trouble is their story, and that's exactly what they find themselves in once they become entangled in each other. It is a romantic comedy with a sprinkling of angst to it.

Spencer Carrollton offers Joselyn Winthrop a job just when she needs it. You'd think she'd be wise to keep things between purely professional. After all, NOT becoming involved with a client is a hard and fast rule of hers; however, Joselyn finds herself falling hard and fast. The thing is, Spencer has made it clear he isn't the type to become romantically involved or committed to any woman. So why can't he seem to get enough of this one woman who seems to know which buttons to push? These two? TROUBLE. The best kind...

I do love a book that makes you want to kick back and simply enjoy the story that's unfolding. I know some readers were saying that this had Beauty and the Beast-inspired vibes, but I prefer to think of it as its own story. Spencer wasn't truly what I'd considered Beastly, but more of someone whose past has led him to be wary of others and protective of his fragile heart. Joselyn was very much a woman with an independent spirit and full of sass but also the sort of partner that Spencer needed in his life. These two were so wonderfully matched, and I truly got a kick out of reading--and falling in love with--their story throughout. Tia Louise delivers another fun-filled rom-com with Trouble. 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

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
