Sweet Spot

Review: Sweet Spot - Stella Rhys - March 2017


I have a thing for roomies and friends to lover type stories, probably because my relationship was a friend to lover. My partner is my best friend. Technically Sweet Spot wasn't a roommate novel or friends to lovers but it is a neighbor to lovers story, and they do live next to each other in the same building.  Lia Pope from the beginning seemed like my kind of gal minus the fact that I would still prefer to wear clothes in my apartment. I would rather still wear boxers and a t-shirt around. She is, however, the type to relax in the bath with a good book on a Saturday night with a glass of wine - seems like heaven to me. On this particular night though things don't go to plan as she is interrupted and meets her hot new neighbor while in the buff.  Lukas is house-sitting for his sister while she is busy in France and Tess forgot to inform Lia about it.  Lia needs to be laid, and Lukas is a hot guy, one thing leads to another, and the two start forming this love/hate friendship which of course leads to hot neighborly sex.  What will happen though when Lia's dream of opening her own truffle business hits a wall because she is associated with Lukas? After being burned once by her ex-boyfriend, will Lia let another man stand in the way of her dreams? Can Lukas prove to Lia that she hits his sweet spot and that he will do anything for her? Even be her supermarket promotion boy? I found Sweet Spot to be a bit bland and slow for my taste as for me there was a hot chemistry lacking, but I did love the character of Lia as I could see a bit of myself in her. Sweet Spot by Stella Rhys is a good read if you love Neighbours to Lover type romances.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
