Review: Bridesmaid for Hire by Meghan Quinn (Bridesmaid for Hire #1)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by Bloom Books.

Bridesmaid for Hire is the next novel in the Almond Bay series, and for longtime readers of the author, there may be quite a few cameos from much loved characters within the pages of this series starter, just saying. All that being said, you can read this book as a standalone, so if you're new to Quinn and her writing, consider this a good introduction.

Maggie Mitchell is ready for some fun in the sun. She's heading to Bora Bora for a much deserved vacation--a reward for the success her event-planning business is experiencing. Her sworn enemy who just happens to be her brother's best friend, Brody McFadden, is heading there. His boss's daughter is getting married, and it's considered the wedding of the century. It could be a mutually beneficial setup for both; all it would require is pretending to be a couple. That is, if they don't end up killing--or kissing for real--each other first.

The dating may have been fake, but the romantic comedy feels certainly were not! If bickering were a sport, Maggie and Brody would have the top spot in the bag. Of course, they'd be a shoo-in when it came to banter, as well, because if Meghan Quinn know her way around witty banter, if I do say so myself. I enjoyed Maggie and Brody's story, and the cameo appearances from several notable MQ characters were a much appreciated bonus. 4.5 stars for Bridesmaid for Hire.

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
