Review: The Bride's Runaway Billionaire by Pippa Grant (Three BFFs and a Wedding #3)


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

The Bride's Runaway Billionaire is the third and final novel in Pippa Grant's Three BFFs and a Wedding series AND it's a companion novel to my all-time favorite Grant book, The Last Eligible Bachelor. There was a great deal of secrecy when it came to this book, particularly, the blurb. And yes, I went into this blind, only knowing who the female main character was, and boy, oh boy, am I glad that I decided to do that! I didn't have any preconceived notions nor did I spend too much time trying to figure out what was going to happen just based on the information provided in the blurb. I simply enjoyed the romance set before me by the author, and I fell in love with all things Snaggletooth again.

It was bad enough Emma Monroe called off her wedding; going viral for it made things worse. Now, she's on her honeymoon in Fiji sans the man who was never going to be her husband (thankyouvermuch), and stumbles upon none other than Jonas Rutherford. Finding your celebrity crush drunk on your porch and dealing with his own relationship drama is one thing, but Emma never imagined she'd become friends with Jonas. All the more becoming friends with, erm, certain benefits. Jonas ghosting her the morning after, however, makes her question if they were ever even friends. But life goes on; then two and half years later, Jonas shows up at Emma's brother's wedding and takes a peek at the ring bearer who bears a striking resemblance to him as a child. All Emma wants is to run away with her son, but what if Jonas wants her runaway heart, his son, and redemption?

Le sigh. I love a wonderfully woven second-chance romance, especially when there's a sufficient amount of groveling involved. Emma was someone who deserves her shot at a true happily-ever-after, but getting there wasn't going to be as uncomplicated as she would have hoped for. That's what happens when the father of your child is an award-winning and world-famous actor with a popular podcast to boot. Oh, and let's not forget the fact that the guy is a billionaire from an uber wealthy family. What's a guy to do when the life he has isn't exactly what the girl he's fallen for wants? Welp, I'm not going to say because hello, that's what reading Emma and Jonas's story is for. So, don't wait for Yolko Ono to bagock you. Get a-reading! Oh, and five stars go to The Bride's Runaway Billionaire!

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
