Yoga Pant Nation by Laurie Gelman (Class Mom #3)

 

💛💛💛💛💛

Hilarious series that only gets better! Yoga Pant Nation is the 3rd book in the Class Mom series and the funniest by far.

Jen Dixon is back in this story for Max's last year at William Taft Elementary, with drama a-plenty. Her parents are showing signs that they need long-term care, and there's a custody battle for her granddaughter that could result in her living out of the country.

I love the unfiltered humor in which Jen tackles life's problems. She has a genuinely kind heart, but her abrupt people skills often have to be taken with a grain of salt. I honestly wish there were more people in the world like her, and I'd LOVE to attend a PTA meeting with that kind of mom.

Lots of family dynamics come into play with this book, taking you on a journey of laughter, emotions, and the genuine feel-good comedy that I've come to love from this series!

😄 Comedy

SUMMARY:

Jen Dixon of Overland Park, Kansas -- fearless mother of a fifth-grade boy and two thirty-something daughters -- is used to juggling a lot, from her mission to become a spin instructor, to stepping in as the most acerbic class mom ever (again), to taking care of her two-year-old granddaughter. But when the PTA president throws her a mandate to raise $10,000 for the fifth-grade class, even unflappable Jen is going to need more than her regular spin class to get her through this final year at William Taft Elementary School.

In the midst of new complications -- organizing the class overnight to Topeka, an unexpected spin class fan in the form of her husband's crazy ex-wife, and trying to navigate her parents' sudden descent into apparent delusions -- Jen hardly has the patience to listen to yet another half-baked idea (come on ladies, another wrapping paper sale?) from WeFUKCT (We Fundraise Until Kingdom Come Team), her fundraising committee. But if anyone can get elementary parents to pull off the impossible, it's Jen Dixon.

With her always irreverent and laugh-out-loud humor -- boldly holding forth on those things you're thinking, but would never dare say out loud -- Laurie Gelman shines a light on the indignities and hilarities of modern parenting.

The Do-Over by Piper Rayne (The Rooftop Crew #5)

 

💙💙💙💙💙

The story you've been waiting for! The Do-Over is an amazing second chance romance. In true Piper Rayne fashion, they also draw you in to the next book in the series and have you counting down the days!

I've been waiting for Knox's story all through the series, but especially since Our Star-Crossed Kiss! It was SO worth the wait.

Poor Knox, once he sees the error of his ways, he has to convince the one person he left behind and didn't choose to have a fling with, to give him another chance. This officer can arrest me any day!

Kamea is a breath of fresh air! I love her fierce loyalty and independence. Feeling like you're someone's second choice isn't ideal and she handles it like a champ.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

She was always the one.

Or so I thought.

Turns out my instincts were dead wrong.

Years ago I was faced with the choice between two women. Both were perfect in opposite ways. One was carefree and against commitment. The other was a woman you'd bring home to mom.

I was young, naïve and stupid. I'm sure you can guess who I chose.

Now, I'm older, wiser and know what the hell I want.

So, when the same two women pop back into my life it's my chance for a do-over. But they flipped the script. Just like me, they want different things now. Leaving me with one choice -- convince the woman I want that she wants me too.

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!

😄 Comedy

💋 Romance

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.

Last Beautiful Girl by Samantha Chase (Magnolia Sound #6)

💜💜💜💜💜

My favorite Magnolia Sound book so far! Such a beautifully heartbreaking story of love, loss and second chances. This book will make you cherish those you love and want to live each moment to the fullest.

The relationship between Sydney and her sister will tug at your heart. They're both suffering from the loss of loved ones, but each in their own way. Now an instant family, they have to figure out how to make things work.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

When Kyle Jones let Sydney Albright walk out of his life, he gave up on the idea of settling down. How could he when he broke the heart of the only woman he ever loved? For years he distracted himself with a parade of women, all the while hoping he would see Sydney again.

But he never wanted it to be like this...

Sydney wasn't prepared to become a mom overnight. When she loses her sister and brother-in-law in a tragic accident, she moves back home to become the caregiver for her heart broken niece. It is no surprise to her when the small town rallies to offer support to one of their own. However, that doesn't make Kyle showing up on her doorstep any less jarring.

While Kyle claims he is only there to help, Sydney is instantly on edge. Not only did she vow never to fall for him again, but his timing couldn't be worse. Her niece needs to be her number one priority. Still, seeing the pain in Sydney's eyes, Kyle won't turn his back on her...not again.

He always said she was the first beautiful girl he loved and now he's determined to make her the last.

Keeping You Away by Kennedy Fox (Ex-Con Duet Series #1)

❤❤❤❤❤

Y'all better buckle up for Tyler's story! Keeping You Away brings us Tyler's side of the story, which I've been waiting on pins and needles for since the previous duet.

Tyler sacrificed so much to help Liam and Maddie find their happily ever after, so it's only fair we get to follow along as he tries to get a fresh start in the pursuit of his own.

The best part of any Kennedy Fox series is the characters, who never fade into the background, and you'll fall in love with them all over again with each visit.

As usual, the amazing duo of Kennedy Fox (Courtney and Lyra) weave a tale that will draw you in, counting down the days until the conclusion is release. They have me bartering my soul for the next book in the series, this is bound to be my favorite duet of theirs yet.

 💧 Drama
💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

I never planned on returning to Alabama, but circumstances brought me here after years of being gone. Though Lawton Ridge is my hometown, I was hesitant to go back because of her -- my sister's best friend. The last time we were together, she was eighteen, and I was a broken soldier transitioning to civilian life.

Gemma wrote to me while I was overseas and we developed a bond I hadn't anticipated. I crushed her heart the day I left, something I've never forgotten. But now that her dad is my new boss, life just got way more complicated.

Too sweet, too innocent, too good for a guy like me -- I should walk away again.

After serving five years in prison for something I didn't do, I trust no one, but Gemma gradually breaks down my walls and exposes the pain I've hidden underneath. For her own sake, I should keep my distance, but it's nearly impossible when I hear her sweet humming while I work and she slowly draws me back in. It's a battle I didn't train for, and one I'll lose if I don't keep my restraint -- especially since she's engaged to another man.

The Wild One by Ruth Cardello (Corisi Billionaires #2)

💙💙💙💙

The Wild One will have you booking a flight to Paris! This is the second book in the Corisi Billionaires series, and I love how it's a story about the two main characters, but there's still that underlying mystery that's been continuing from the first book...so if you haven't read The Broken One, you'll definitely should before diving into this one.

Wren Heath wants an escape from her boring, stagnant life - so when she meets up with an old friend in Paris, she decides to throw caution to the wind and spend a glorious week with Mauricio Romano.

When the two part ways, under stressful circumstances, they're both forced to realize the extent of what their time together really meant to them.

I adore stories involving self-proclaimed bachelors, who are adamant they'll never change their ways. The best part of the story is by far the Romano family. Their family dynamic are what goals are made of, not to mention how they love to meddle.

This was a wonderful addition to the series, and I'm looking forward to more. Hopefully with more answers about the bigger picture that we keep getting glimpses of in each book!

 💧 Drama
💋 Romance

Summary:

Paris was Mauricio's playground, and love was never part of the game. Lust? Toujours. Then he meets a sweet woman who wants to be a sex kitten. He knows how to give her the wildest five days and nights of her life. No commitments. No strings. But the hotter it gets, the harder it is to remember his own rules.

What do you do when what happens in Paris stays in your heart and then shows up at home?

Are these two destined to clash or destined for love?

This Is Wild by Natasha Madison (This Is #2)

💛💛💛💛💛

This Is Wild scored a winning goal in my heart! A beautiful story about overcoming your past mistakes, even though you still have to overcome the temptation every minute of every day.

Viktor Petrov is quite possibly the ultimate book boyfriend, and will steal your heart with his triumphs and trials. Being able to see how far he's come, and still facing the continued aftermath from certain friends and family members is hard to watch.

Zoe Grant loves to irk her protective brothers, often providing laughter and mischief. Her resolution to never date a hockey player proves difficult once Viktor enters her life. The kind gestures and gifts she bestows him, come at the perfect times.

The chemistry between Zoe and Viktor is undeniable, but both of them keep their distance and fight being more than friends, for their own very different reasons.

At one point during this story, I literally had to put the book down to catch my breath and stop crying. I love that it shows the brutal honesty of addiction, even after the detox and rehab has ended.

I've truly enjoyed every story in the This Is series so far, but this one will definitely be one I recommend to others and revisit again in the near future. Beautifully written!

Summary: 
Zoe
When you grow up surrounded by hockey players you know one thing for sure, I was never going to settle down with one.

Heck, I didn't even know what icing was. I was too busy climbing the corporate ladder, becoming one of the most successful realtors in New York City.

I wasn't interested in dating or anything that got in my way.

First, he was my client and then he became my friend.

Viktor
My parents told me I skated before I walked. When I was eighteen I was drafted into the NHL third overall, playing in Los Angeles - the city of dreams. What more could I ask for? I played hard, but eventually, I partied even harder.

Five years later I was traded a week after I entered rehab.

There was no time for anything except my health and making sure I'd come out on top. I had to be better. There wasn't another option.

One of the rules of recovery was 'don't fall in love' and I made it a top priority. She was off limits in every single way.

Until it was too late.

One night, one decision, one act can derail everything.

When push comes to shove, I'm only certain that, This is Wild.

Stiff Suit by Tawna Fenske (Ponderosa Resort #5)

❤❤❤❤❤

Stiff Suit is by far my favorite, and the 5th book in the Ponderosa Resort series. It can be read by itself, but is more enjoyable if read in order.

If you want a book that will make you laugh so hard, your sides ache the next day, this is the one for you! With just enough drama, secrets and mystery, I guarantee you won't be able to put this one down.

Lily Archer is the perfect feisty ginger to break down the walls that James has built to protect himself and his family. Where others would try to find a weakness to exploit in James, Lily is genuine and caring.

The best romantic comedy I've read this year! Wanting to discover what secrets are being kept, will keep you turning the page as fast as you can read. There are twists and turns that I didn't see coming, and that's always a pleasant surprise for me. I have three words for you: READ IT NOW.

😄 Comedy

💋 Romance

 🔥 Steamy

Summary:

James "Iceman" Bracelyn is wound tighter than a vintage Rolex. Besides his CEO role at Ponderosa Resort, he's guardian of the family's biggest secrets, including a doozy that keeps him up at night. Alone. In that big bed he'd rather not share, thank you very much.

That's fine with Lily Archer, who likes her flings flaming hot and fleeting. Her man-eater rep might be slightly exaggerated, but she'll gladly dial it up to rescue James from himself - and a bottle of Glenlivit - at his brother's wedding.

Intimacy's the last thing either one wants, but it's tough to dodge when they're drawn together by the world's drooliest dog, a TPing escapade gone wrong, and a good old-fashioned desktop hookup. That's problematic for James, whose ability to hide the family's riskiest secret is complicated by the secret's refusal to get the hell out of his guest room.

Can Iceman keep his frigid shell intact while falling for the hottest science geek sex goddess he's ever met, or will the ticking time bomb blow it all to smithereens?

The Red Ledger 4 by Meredith Wild

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I've never been so anxious for a series to have a new release, as I have been with this one! Each one will keep you on your toes and just when you think you'll get an answer to one question, three more plot twists will appear.

Tristan is running from a past he can't remember, but the more he and Isabel dig to uncover secrets, the danger surrounding them escalates.

You definitely want to start at the beginning with these books, but fair warning, once you start, you won't be able to stop until you're caught up! Filled with action, drama, suspense and romance.
