Review: Last Round by Charity Ferrell (Twisted Fox #5)


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

Talk about ending a series on a high! Last Round is the fifth and final novel in the Twisted Fox series, and as far as I'm concerned, Charity Ferrell saved the best for last. When Silas Malone first noticed Lola Delgado, he did a bit flirting from behind the bar in hopes of scoring her number--and score it he did! Imagine his surprise when Silas decides to call and the voice on the other line was distinctly...male. It turns out that Lola has a habit of giving out her cheating ex's digits as a means of revenge. Surprisingly, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship between the two, both agreeing that anything romantic would be a no-go. Everything is just as it should be...until one of them confesses their feelings for the other. They risk losing one of the most important relationship in their lives...or will this be that something more that could actually last if given a chance?

Lola and Silas's story is the one that I've been eager to get my hands on throughout the Twisted Fox series. That's due in large part to the fact that the glimpses I got of them had me curious. Now that I've satisfied said curiosity, I'm officially declaring these two my favorite Twisted Fox couple! They went from being strangers to acquaintances with shared ties who push each other's buttons to fake dating to real best friends; and then the journey from that point to becoming so much more was fraught with complications, no thanks to one of them--cough, Silas, cough--not being all the forthcoming about certain parts of his past. There are lighthearted moments, but there are also angsty ones in the book, but nothing dark or depressing. Having the other Twisted Fox couples and having them living out their happily-ever-afters was the icing on Last Round's five-starred cake.

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
