Flying commercial is the bane of my existence.


Until the fiery redheaded flight attendant with emerald eyes falls into my lap.

The spark between us is instant. And from the moment her body crashes into mine, I know I need more than just a few hours in the sky with her.


The next time our paths cross, she tells me she’s headed out of the country, and I don’t hesitate to make sure I’m on her flight.

Our time together is filled with a passion I didn’t know existed. And for a moment, I allow myself to imagine what it would be like if our temporary arrangement turned into forever.

Until a call in the middle of the night pulls me back to reality, reminding me that with the enemies I have, letting her get too close would make her my greatest weakness—one I can’t afford.

Four years later, fate intervenes. Because she’s back, serving drinks on my private flight, and she’s apparently been keeping secrets.

With one phone call, I learn she’s been raising my son while pretending I don’t exist.


Now, with my enemies closing in and our secret out, they’re both in danger, and I’m done playing this game her way.


She might not trust me, but I’ll stop at nothing to keep them safe—even if I have to drag her kicking and screaming into my world.

Spoiler-free Review

Sweetest Sin (Tempting Love, #1)Sweetest Sin by Nikki Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweetest Sin by Nikki Ash is the unputdownable first book in the Tempting Love series. A one-night stand with a dangerous mafia crime boss turns into so much more when Peyton, a flight attendant, crosses paths with Dominick on a flight that changes both of their lives forever.

This heart-pounding mafia romance had me hooked from the very first page. After their explosive night together, Peyton finds herself pregnant and raising her son alone until fate gives her and Dominick a second chance. Entering his world won’t be easy. Peyton wants nothing to do with the violence and danger that surround him, while Dominick is determined to prove he can keep her and their son safe. Their wicked chemistry is undeniable, but is it enough to survive the high stakes of love and family in the mafia underworld?

Nikki perfectly sets the stage with rich family dynamics, weaving in Dominick’s siblings and the complex loyalties that come with their violent history. THAT ENDING! It left me absolutely desperate for more. I’m counting down the days until Matteo’s story, Deadliest Desire, releases on January 8th.
Sweetest Sin is a fantastic, addictive start to this new mafia romance and absolutely one-click worthy

SYNOPSIS:

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

The last thing Dorian Vanderbilt expected was to find me painting in my crop top when he returned to the mansion he hadn’t inhabited in years.

He was understandably surprised I’d turned his living room into an art space.

Life is certainly full of surprises, though, but not always in a good way.

I learned that lesson when my aunt and the billionaire she married died unexpectedly while traveling.

I’d been living with them, and just like that, my life was turned on its axis.

Unsure of what was next, I stayed alone at the barren estate figuring out my next move.

That was when Dorian—the late billionaire’s only son—showed up. 

I’d never met Dorian Vanderbilt. He’d been living on the other side of the country.

But now, he was home, left to pick up the pieces of his father’s legacy.

Not only was Dorian devastatingly handsome and mysterious, but he was the sole heir to the Vanderbilt fortune.

He didn’t seem to like me—at first. We were total opposites. But I was grateful that at least he didn’t kick me out.

We stayed out of each other’s way for the most part, save for some late-night kitchen run-ins or unexpected bonding sessions in the home theater.

Over time, though, we grew closer. Turned out, our chemistry was pretty combustible.

I was falling in love with him.

Until everything I thought I knew turned upside down yet again.

And fate left me pining for the one man I’d ever loved.

Hands down, The House Guest by Penelope Ward is one of my top reads of the year. I finished it days ago, and I still can’t stop thinking about this book. This story wrecked me in the best way—full of emotion, angst, and unforgettable characters that burrowed straight into my heart and soul. It’s the kind of book that lingers, making you want to go back and reread just to feel it all over again. Truth be told, I’m completely obsessed.

Synopsis:

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes an all-new standalone crossover romance filled with heartache and dreams.


Lexington Hall and I were never supposed to collide—he, the golden boy of Hollywood, and me, a small-town dreamer with stars in my eyes. But when we shared the stage in our high school musical, something ignited.


Then, just as quickly, it all fell apart, leaving my dreams in pieces.


Now, four years later, Lex is a household name, turning our past into a television sensation. He's spun our story for the world to see, while I'm still haunted by what we lost.


With millions obsessed over the "real" Stevie St. James, Lex reappears with an offer too tempting to turn down: a fake romance to keep the buzz alive, in exchange for the financial freedom I desperately need.


I convince myself I can play the part. But as old feelings resurface and new risks emerge, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur.


Dreams are easy to chase—but falling for the guy who shattered mine could cost me everything.


Spoiler-free Review

Dream On (Deluxe Edition)Dream On by Jennifer Hartmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jennifer Hartmann, what did you do to my heart? I just got sucker punched in the feels—in the best, most devastating way.

Dream On is an unforgettable slow-burn romance about Stevie, a farm-town girl with big dreams, and Lex, an emotionally guarded Hollywood actor grappling with a troubled past and his growing feelings for Stevie. Their complicated love story unfolds through scripts, music, and a connection that begins to blur the line between acting and reality. Lex is able to express his true emotions through the roles he plays or behind a cell phone screen. Their connection is electric, and I was thoroughly invested in these two characters.

This book is everything. I savored every word from the first to the last page. The feels. What an epic journey. Dream On might just be my favorite book by Jennifer Hartmann.
Hands down, Dream On is one of my top reads of the year.

Review: You've Been Served by Carina Rose

You've Been Served by Carina Rose is LIVE and the perfect binge-worthy read. Check out my spoiler-free review of this swoony romance. 

You've Been Served by Carina Rose  Kindle Crack
Synopsis:

From Carina Rose comes this swoony romance between a small-town coffee shop owner and a hotshot lawyer!


It all started when the cappuccino machine went haywire and sent frothed milk all over me and a couple of my customers. Then the fire alarm went off thanks to my oven overheating. My day couldn’t get any worse, right? Well… hold my double-shot latte because I was served an eviction notice—my coffee shop and apartment, gone in sixty days. Cue my tears.


Then came the one-night stand—no last names, no strings, just one unforgettable, slightly reckless night with the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He made me feel things I hadn’t before. But more importantly, he helped me forget about my awful day.


Then we went our separate ways.


What I didn’t expect was for him to track me down. Or ask me out. Or make me laugh when everything I loved hung in the balance.


And just my luck, he was an attorney. Just the man who could help me, right? Wrong. His law firm was the one overseeing my eviction. And I couldn’t help wondering if he knew who I was all along, or if fate just had a twisted sense of humor.

Review of You've Been Served

You've Been ServedYou've Been Served by Carina Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 You’ve Been Served by Carina Rose was such a delightful surprise, sweet, charming, and just the perfect summer read.

A one-night stand turns into a caffeinated conflict of interest when Beckett, an attorney, crosses paths with Hope, a coffee shop owner who is about to lose her shop.  Sparks fly and hearts start to brew up something neither of them saw coming.

Like the perfect cup of coffee from Hope’s Cozy Sip café, this story is both tasty and uplifting, and impossible to put down. You’ve Been Served is a warm, feel-good romance that leaves you smiling long after the last page.
