I have been waiting for MY RULES because the Kingston Lane group of people are all so memorable. Blake and Rebecca’s story put me through the wringer. It has all the angsty romance high points - the deplorable ex, the jealousy, the little fights and big fights. As a friends to lovers story, he falls first and she has trust issues. It might have made me little misty at times....more

And the there were those in Ireland - Ivy, Riley, Bridget and Ellie. It’s a book about all kinds of loving relationships, and their worth despite grief and heartbreak. Five stars and four tissues....more

THE BONUS is easily one of my favorite books of the year - and I read a lot of books. I was getting teary pretty early on because of the poignant, unrequited love story of Gabriel and Grace.
The story is carried out over seven years. It flowed seamlessly through their lives that went on without each other, but never forgetting one another. Great characters, breathless romance, and swoon worthy parenting all contribute to this entertaining read....more

I really got sucked deep into THE LAST ONE YOU LOVED from the first page and it never let up. It’s got some of my favorite themes - second chance love, years long pining, swoon worthy single dad, cute but not annoying little girl, and all with a page turning story of blackmail, suspense, and tragedy. Loved it!...more

NOT YOU AGAIN is entertaining, poignant, funny, and heartbreaking. I enjoyed reading it because of the strong female characters overcoming huge set backs in their lives. I further enjoyed the reality of the divorced dad who worked three jobs because his teaching job didn’t pay enough.
The story has several “I did not see that coming” moments making it a real page turner....more

WHAT I SHOULD’VE SAID seems like it is going to be a runaway bride story. Oh no. Is it a rom-com? Yes. Suspense? Yes. Ugly cry more than once? Also yes.
I was given an early copy of the book to read and my honest opinion is that we not only have an original plot, but very skilled storytelling taking place....more
A SINNER’S PROMISE is the kind of book I like because it turns a ruthless, feared mafia Don into a possessive, protective, smitten guy. A page turner
A SINNER’S PROMISE is the kind of book I like because it turns a ruthless, feared mafia Don into a possessive, protective, smitten guy. The family of brothers is going to yield some great stories. The overarching theme of their horrible father will have you shaking your head.
Gio and Ellie’s romance heats up early keeps going strong. Ellie doesn’t listen when she really needs to, and fortunately Gio’s protectiveness comes in handy. I enjoyed this book and would read more about Gio’s brothers....more

ONE PERCENT OF YOU is done really weak because I felt a wide range of emotions because of the tense family dynamic, the grumpy yet funny relationship between Elijah and young Lucy, and the swoon worthy romance.

From grumpy OCD boss to indulgent daddy for another man’s child, Elliott was really a character that tugged at my heartstrings. In PS YOU’RE INTOLERABLE, Catherine is the down on her luck pregnant woman that lands in front of Elliot by chance. Catherine uses her humorous passive-aggressive postscripts to help her weather her relationship with an exacting boss.
Elliot becomes the knight in shining armor whose stoic layers are shredded by Catherine and Josephine....more

I had a feeling THE SURROGATE would be a special love story. Sigmund lost his young wife that he loved deeply. Abby is the surrogate his late wife’s parents wanted to carry the baby made from her embryos. If that’s not heart tugging enough, Sigmund was only agreeing to have the baby come to pass to not disappoint his late wife’s parents.
But then came Abby and the story is about how she lightened his despair at the same time wondering if she would ever find someone that would love her as completely as he loved his wife.
Yes, I needed a tissue now and then. The secondary characters are well written and in many ways unexpected. I will not forget this story easily....more

You might think a book called JUST FOR THE SUMMER is the next good beach read romance, and it is if you like to alternate between laughing out loud and crying while you are reading on the beach.
This is a unique story that is heart tugging in so many ways. The premise of the book has the two deciding to meet to break their mutual curse by dating then breaking up to find their soulmate, who will be their next partner.
The twists come in the form of obstacles, relived traumas, and almost insurmountable burdens. I loved being along for this ride. It’s really an excellent book....more

I chose to read this book because of the single dad and dancer angle. That part of the story was done very well. Dylan and Gen had great chemistry from the very beginning. They both had their separate paths of baggage to work through and we were left wondering at times if they would get out of their own way.
THE REHEARSAL FLING is steamy, romantic, grumpy guy/softhearted dad, and the art of the blended family. I hope the other two single dads in Dylan’s “club” get their stories told, too....more

EMERGENCY CONTACT is a book that can have you laugh out loud while there are still tears in your eyes from a heart tugging moment.
Both Katherine and Tom haven’t seen each other since their divorce 4 years ago. Katherine is a great character - she holds everyone at arms length. Tom is the people person and the only person to contact when Katherine is in an accident. Let’s just say the story forces the characters to face their unresolved issues on the eve of Tom’s Christmas Eve proposal to another woman. Gah!...more

What a wonderfully unexpected story. I can’t decide what was the best thing about it because it consumed me from the first page. Henley is such a compelling and unique character. His presence fills every scene he is part of and Juliet has the big personality necessary to deal with the challenges of having a relationship with Henley.
MY TEMPTATION is such a good romance. The passion and the intimate nuances of the relationship were not just there to make a hot story. They made us understand what was going on in Henley and Juliet’s minds.
As a series starter, we also met other residents of Kingston Lane. These secondary characters are almost as memorable as Henley and Juliet and I look forward to their stories....more

I usually wait when Vi Keeland releases a new book because I know I will be disappointed that I can’t read it for the first time again.
But this time I jumped right in and I hate to be cliche, but it wasn’t what I expected. Yes, it was funny, original, romantic, steamy and heartbreaking all at the same time. But it also was so thought provoking and forces the reader to think about their lives and their loves.
There wasn’t a dry eye to be had after spending my evening with these wonderful characters. Excellent book.

It’s eI wasn’t sure what to expect with I ALMOST DO after reading the summary. What I found was an achingly romantic story that I could not put down. It’s emotionally intense, steamy and, at times, sad.
I usually say a little something about the main characters when I review a book, but you really have to experience the masterful way the author reveals the layers of both James and Clarissa without preconceptions.
Excellent book.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily....more

ONE AND ONLY will be classified as a fake marriage trope, but it is a story of families and a lesson in coparenting. Beckett is the reserved single dad that lives for his young daughter. The story is about him getting to have her live with him full time for a year and he gets a chance to be the dad he wants to be. He is the kind of guy you would conjure up as the perfect man for his heart alone.
Greer is powerful, full of energy and selfless. They are such opposites personality wise that neither thinks the other is “their type”. Her family is dealing with trauma of a different kind. She meets Beckett through her brother, his teammate.
There are some poignant moments and I dare you to keep a dry eye. The passion is what I would “struggling to harness” and their dance of romance is so entertaining....more
