Review: Sidequest for Love by L.H. Cosway


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

In a world where the usual can become mundane at times, I can always count on L.H. Cosway to provide the sort of romance that stands out--for all the best kinds of reasons. Sidequest for Love is her newest release, but while it is a standalone, it does share ties with Cosway's Running on Air series. That being said, I can safely say that you can, indeed, read this latest Cosway romance on its own. However, if you've yet to read the Running on Air novels, check those out as well when time permits because those are wonderfully awesome. 

Sidequest for Love is a quirky romance that has two very different people strike up the unlikeliest of friendships and unexpectedly fall in love without realizing it. Afric O'Connor is a gamer with a wide following for her livestreams. When she's introduced to Neil Durant, they don't necessarily click. However, when she learns of an interesting dilemma of his, she decides to help him 'fess up to the girl he's been catfishing in exchange for him helping her get her finances in order sounds like a fair deal. But when that sidequest makes her realize that Neil deserves better than the girl he's after, Afric wonders if her true quest is to win his heart.

Ah, this book was a true joy. I adored every single thing about it. Seeing Afric and Neil go from strangers who didn't exactly have the best of first opinions of each other to allies who begrudgingly acknowledge maybe the other isn't as bad as they originally thought and then to friends who could maybe-possibly-absolutely have not-so-platonic feelings for one another was rather fascinating. There truly was an evolution as far as their relationship was concerned, but they also developed as individuals, especially Neil who came into his own. A true bonus was seeing some familiar faces pop in here and there throughout the story, not necessarily to steal the spotlight but to add even more flavor to an already fab story. Five stars go to Sidequest for Love!

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

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
