Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey

 

💛💛💛💛

I want to binge-watch rom-coms now! Waiting for Tom Hanks was a pleasant surprise for my rom-com loving soul. This is the second time reading this and I loved it even more with the audiobook bringing the characters to life.

This feel-good story will remind you of all the amazing reasons why you love films like "You've Got Mail", "Two Weeks Notice", etc. There were so many points that I related with Annie, especially our mutual love for all things Nora Ephron.

If you're looking for a great summer vacation read, I'd highly recommend packing this one in your suitcase! Such a delightful look at not only the movie business, but how relationships are viewed from someone who truly believes in happily ever afters and meet-cute's.

SUMMARY:

Can a romcom-obsessed romantic finally experience the meet-cute she always dreamed of or will reality never compare to fiction, in this charming debut novel from Kerry Winfrey.

Annie Cassidy dreams of being the next Nora Ephron. She spends her days writing screenplays, rewatching Sleepless in Seattle, and waiting for her movie-perfect meet-cute. If she could just find her own Tom Hanks -- a man who's sweet, sensitive, and possibly owns a houseboat -- her problems would disappear and her life would be perfect. But Tom Hanks is nowhere in sight.

When a movie starts filming in her neighborhood and Annie gets a job on set, it seems like a sign. Then Annie meets the lead actor, Drew Danforth, a cocky prankster who couldn't be less like Tom Hanks if he tried. Their meet-cute is more of a meet-fail, but soon Annie finds herself sharing some classic rom-com moments with Drew. Her Tom Hanks can't be an actor who's leaving town in a matter of days...can he?

The Boyfriend Effect by Kendall Ryan (Frisky Business #1)

 

❤❤❤❤❤

I absolutely LOVED this book! The Boyfriend Effect is the first release in the Frisky Business series and I can't wait for more! Each page is better than the last and you won't want it to end.

A true friends to lovers story that will melt your heart through laughter and romance. Maren's got a heart of gold and I love her witty banter, but mostly that she's not afraid to say what she thinks.

Hayes *sigh* is the king of my heart and I loved everything about him. He's one of those guys that you hate to love, then eventually warm up to, but oh how I loved the journey!

I love that we get a look inside the adult toy business as well. My favorite scene is during the all-time best awkward factor when Maren shows up with her brother there...you'll just have to read and see!

The highlight of this book is the fact that it revolves around 5 guys who own a business together, but are BFF's as well (the bromance is strong with this crew.) This was truly a joy to read and I can't wait for the other guys to get their stories told as well!

SUMMARY:

I'm not boyfriend material.

If a trail of broken hearts and a piss-poor record of failed relationships have taught me anything, it's this. My buddies are happy to give me shit about my latest breakup from here to next Sunday. Thanks, but I'd rather have a root canal.

And a vasectomy.

At the same time.

Relief comes in an unlikely package -- the gorgeous and feisty Maren. She just so happens to be my best friend's sister, so that's not awkward at all.

But I'm a man on a mission, and Maren is down to teach me all the ways I've been failing as a boyfriend. Apparently, there are many. And it's all very informative -- until I start to catch feelings.

Now it's not just my reputation on the line, but my heart too.

The Modern Gentleman by Meghan Quinn

The perfect romantic comedy to make your day! The Modern Gentleman is perfect for fans of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - in fact, I love it even more than the movie.

Wes is so lovable, you can't help to fall for him! June has no filter and no shame in calling people on their bull, so she was an automatic favorite for me.

The chemistry between Wes and June was off the charts crazy, and it was definitely a journey I'd gladly take all over again! This is a must read if you love a good RomCom, and I guarantee you won't be able to put it down until the end.

Meghan Quinn is an author that I have to plan my surroundings around where I read her books, because I will laugh so loudly (or snort) that I scare most people.

Her characters are always so genuine and unfiltered, that it's always a guarantee that I'll be buying the paperback before I even finish reading the Kindle version.

SUMMARY:

Have you ever hit rock bottom?

I embarrassingly have.

It's why I'm wearing my girl's decorative scarf over my head, clutching her lady drink to my chest, and singing ever so softly to Joni Mitchell while swaying back and forth.

This is what therapists refer to as LOSING IT.

Oldest story in the book: boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy screws up MASSIVELY, girl tells boy to suffocate in the fruits of his very own unborn children.

Heard it before? I'm sure you have.

So what's so different about this story? Well, it's about me, The Modern Gentleman, New York City's top advice columnist, and my rather ungraceful downfall from my pristinely polished pedestal.

It's about a girl I met who threw all my proven theories to the wind and left me awkward, needy, and absolutely head-over-wingtipped shoes in love.

This is a story about June Lacy and how she single-handedly dismantled The Modern Gentleman.

This Is Crazy by Natasha Madison

🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

I was sold when I read the tweet Zara sends:

"When your ex-boyfriend gets engaged, you ask his idol @EvanRichards to be your date to crash his wedding. What do you say? Wanna be my date?"

This Is Crazy has plenty of laughter, romance and is an overall joy to read. Evan will sweep you off your feet and raise the bar for any guy you'll ever meet in the future.

What starts out as a joke, quickly becomes more that Evan or Zara expected. When they meet in person, it's clear that neither is what their persona appears to be on social media outlets.

I highly enjoyed reading this story, even if my cheeks did hurt for hours afterwards. I'll be buying any future books in this series as well, and recommend this for anyone that loves a truly feel-good romantic comedy!

Summary:

Zara Stone - 

All my life, I've said I will never date a hockey player. I know better because I've seen and lived it all. My father is a hockey god, my brother is a captain of the most successful NHL team in the world, and my brother-in-law also plays in their league. Their lives are complicated, so I went in the opposite direction. I fell in love with a scholar. But instead of proposing marriage, he broke up with me. Three months later, I saw his engagement picture on Instagram. I couldn't let him get away with that. No, it didn't matter what, I was going to make that man see that I did not need him.

Evan Richards -

I was in the running to pass my point record from last year, ready to claim the number one spot in the league. On top of my game, I was riding my career high wave. Then, Hockey's Princess, Zara Stone tweeted me. She wanted me to crash her ex's wedding. The worst that could happen? A PR nightmare. The best? A fun night with a beautiful woman. It started out as a game - something I'm good at. Her crazy idea twisted into something I wasn't looking for, something neither of us wanted. When push comes to shove, one thing runs through my mind:
This is Crazy. Also, this is crazy right.
