Review: Lighthouse Way by Kristen Proby (Huckleberry Bay #1)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Valentine PR.

Kristen Proby's got a new series, and let me tell you, the series starter exceeded all my expectations! Lighthouse Way is the first novel in the Huckleberry Bay series, and while I'm guessing the rest of the books will share those small-town romance feels, book one's got a bit of paranormal goodness to it! This is Luna Winchester and Wolfe Conrad's love story, but it also serves as a truly great introduction to the bayside town of Huckleberry Bay and to the cast of characters that we'll be coming across throughout the entire series.

Stock car racing has always been Wolfe Conrad's passion, but when a career-ending crash leads him back to his hometown of Huckleberry Bay, he's forced to take stock of what the rest of his life is going to look like. What he doesn't quite expect is the impact Luna Winchester has on him. They were never really friends, more of two people with the shared tie of Wolfe being friends with Luna's brother. But the Luna Wolfe remembers is a far cry to the woman she's become. She's the keeper of the lighthouse, but could Luna also be the light that beacon him to finally feeling like Wolfe has found his truest home?

I absolutely enjoyed this series starter! It gave me more than I expected, and since I'm familiar with this author's writing, suffice it to say that I was expecting a lot. I loved that the series centered on the ideas of finding love and home in Huckleberry Bay. There was a connection between Luna and Wolfe, one that went beyond the physical, and I liked seeing them explore it but not necessarily rushing into anything without giving it some thought. Then there was the whole thing with Rose and the mystery behind her life, and I was quite fascinated by that as well. I can already see two couples in the offing, and I'm eager to read their stories going forward. Lighthouse Way was truly a five-star beginning.

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
