REVIEW: Only Him by Melanie Harlow

Melanie Harlow is back again with another heartwarming book.. A great romantic read with sweet hero and second chance romance trope, my favorite!

The book is about 29 year old Maren, owner of a yoga studio and her long lost love, Dallas Shepherd. Ever since Dallas left her at sixteen, she was heartbroken and has had a hard time in letting other people in. She hasn’t really had serious relationship ever since. Years later, Dallas showed up again at her doorstep and what was supposed to be a catching up on their life, they developed what they once had. Everything is working out perfectly until the revelation Dallas didn’t tell Maren.

I would have to say this is not my favorite read from Melanie Harlow. I do love her writing, however I just couldn’t really connect with both the hero or the heroine. It seems to me Maren forgives Dallas too easily and Dallas is just not a character that I can understand his reasoning. With that being said, I will state that this is a good read to pass the time, and I like reading the book.

REVIEW: The Problem With Him by Rachel Higginson

OMG! This series by Rachel Higginson is just EVERYTHING! I’ve loved reading previous two books and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Kaya and Wyatt’s story!

The story is about Kaya, Wyatt’s sous chef or second in command in the kitchen. They’ve developed and friendship of sorts throughout the years of working together. Kaya is unbelievably attracted to Wyatt, yet she never does anything about it because she thought he hates her. It turns out, the attraction is mutual..

I love Wyatt so much. I feel like even though he’s a silent-cool-growly type of character, he’s the type of hero I prefer in a book just because he says what he wants and shows it. Kaya is a harder character for me to like, just because she is prickly and she has strong self-doubt about herself that I just think unnecessary with how Wyatt’s been treating her. However, to each their own and Wyatt is a close hero for me along with Killian. The first will always be Ezra though! Haha

Anyway, this story not only shows how love can build each other up, but it’s a sweet love story overall in a different setting of chef and restaurant world. I really do like reading it!

REVIEW: Mogul by Katy Evans

Wow! Katy Evans is back with another great read that is swoony, angsty, and very much enjoyable from the very first page!

If you’ve previously read Tycoon, then you’ve met the heroine in this book, Sara. She met the mysterious guy on a taxi on her way to work, and they had such incredible chemistry that she can feel it. It turns out, the guy is none other than a guest at the hotel she’s working as the concierge for. They had a very very steamy one night stand, and left it at that. She left without knowing his name, and no informations were exchanged.

A few weeks later, they both can’t stop thinking about each other and their night together. Their paths cross once again when Sara was supposed to walk her customer’s dog. It turns out, her sexy one night stand is the customer’s grandson!

They reconnected (because hello, chemistry) but circumstances just made it hard for it to be anything more. Will Sara and Ian Ford have a chance to see where it goes, or will their past shortcomings be in the way?

I really love this book. I had a great book hangover after reading this one. It is definitely way hotter than any of Katy Evan’s previous books I’ve read and Sara and Ian are just EVERYTHING! I REALLY WANT MORE OF THEM! Please do yourself a favor and read this book. STAT

REVIEW: The Birthday List by Devney Perry

The Birthday List is definitely one of the most heartfelt, well written love story I've read this year. Once again, Devney Perry never dissapoints and this book is an exceptionally written story that is well thought out with angst, love, healing, and emotional, and moving on.

Five years after the tragic and sudden death of her husband, Poppy Maysen is still grieving the loss and is barely living, just going through the motion of life. Things are hard for Poppy, but one day she had the idea to honor her late husband Jamie's memory by going through the birthday list that he never got to complete before he passed away. She's hoping to eventually move on and be able to live a little.

Enter Cole Goodman, the police officer who informed Poppy years ago that her husband passed away. It has been years, but Cole remembers Poppy like yesterday. They meet again when Poppy was doing one of Jamie's list, and formed a friendship of sorts through that. Cole is definitely the best type of hero for this love story. He's patient, kind, not pushy, and is very accepting of Poppy and her shortcomings in moving on. He gets her, and what I love most about him is that he honors Jamie's memory and never want to replace his place in Poppy's life. He's simply a good man with good and honest intention who's attracted to Poppy, and I can't be more in love with him. Definitely not an alpha-hero, but I love Cole for what Poppy needs.

This love story is very touching. It's sweet, it's the right pace with the right amount of angst, and I'm just so in love with their relationship and friendship and how it's not exactly slow-burn but paced just right. I totally recommend this for people who wants to read something sweet and slow-burning but has everything you want in a second-chance love story.

REVIEW: Bane by L.J. Shen

L.J. SHEN! HAS DONE IT AGAIN! Another masterpiece that I can't stop reading from the very very first word.. Such an amazing book, I still have a book hangover from days away! Bane might not make my first love of Vicious done, but I love him so much. I can't get enough of him.

As the title of the book suggests, the story is about Bane, whom we've met before in Scandalous. He's not the usual alpha-type of hero, but as with most of Shen's hero quality, he's a total a-hole and has a questionable morals. He's rough, raw, has jobs that make you question your sanity for loving him nonetheless. Also.. Jesse. Jesse might just be my favorite heroine she's ever written. She's not a bitch, but she stands her ground and is a really tough cookie. She saves herself, and Bane too in this relationship. I love her and Bane's tumultuous relationship (or friendship) so much.

I love how this book is just not what I expected. As with all of her books, you just don't know where she's gonna take you but I'm telling you, trust her and you will love this book! Just trust her instinct. This book pushes boundaries and it might be uncomfortable at times but everything is wrapped nicely and the twisted drama is EVERYTHING!

Also, if you want to read this book don't forget to subscribe to L.J. Shen's newsletter so that you get the chance to read the extended epilogue she wrote for these characters. I'm so sad to be bidding farewell to these characters as I've loved the series but nonetheless I can't wait for her new series which will be about the 2nd generation called All Saints Sinners

REVIEW: The Ruthless Gentleman by Louise Bay

WHOOP! Another Louise Bay work that I love (since I’ve loved them ALL!)

The story is about Avery Walker, a 26-year old going on a break from her job being a stewardess for a luxury yacht. Looking forward to her break, she has an unexpected call to work a 2-month cruise with selected stewardess with only one passenger.

The guest is Hayden Wolf, a 32-year old british venture capitalist. Very handsome, aloof, and has the oddest demands. He has no time to get tangled up with Avery, but their mutual attraction will finally win.

This book has an angsty feel, with lightweight undertone to it that has you waiting for the other shoe to drop! I love the forbidden aspect of the story and it’s very refreshing to see a heroine like Avery who’s not a damsel in distress even though they come from a different world with different backgrounds. This story is a journey of trust, lies, mistakes, forgiveness that has you smiling until the end!

REVIEW: Welcome to The Cameo Hotel by K.I. Lynn

When I first read the blurb for this book, I was just intrigued to read it. I’ve loved K.I. Lynn’s work from her previous Breach series, and though this one is very different from that series, I still love it nonetheless! It’s very steamy, angsty, and just sucks you in from the very first page.

The story is about Emma, who’s so close to finishing her MBA and finally getting rid of her job at the Cameo Hotel when she finally met Mr. Gavin Grayson, a new guest at the hotel. Her attraction to him is off-the-charts, but he treats her so bad and is constantly on her nerves! It turns out, the attraction is not one way and Gavin is so attracted to Emma he really doesn’t know how to express it.

SO. Gavin might just be my latest book boyfriend. Even though at first he is such a jerk, you really get to see this new side of him that is sweet, and dirty at the same time. Emma is a really great heroine too. Touch, strong, independent, and definitely not a doormat. Together, they are so perfect.

This book has everything I wanted; angst, forbidden-romance, and it kept me guessing what’s going to happen. I really rooted for this couple and can’t wait for them to reach their happily ever-after!
