Insta-falling for each other. A quick relationship. A fast reality check. Realizing you haven't talked about the important stuff. Taking care of each other. Having that pivotal conversation. Holding one another up. Break down. Finding out it doesn't have to be perfect.
All the above is Bree and Jase. This book got me. It had me from the beginning. I loved that Jase felt it right away with Bree and continued to pursue even when she wasn't 100% that they should. I loved the little bit of mystery with this story, Tarina got me, never thought it was who it was doing the craziness. Just when you think it's all good, bam an anniversary happens that takes them by surprise. The emotions, the feelings portrayed, the way you feel reading this. It got me.
Tarina does such good work of relying the messed up things our soldiers deal with in a way that doesn't down play the harshness of life after war. Having both being Vets, I loved, having both go through their own struggles with civilian life was something to see play out. Loved it and cannot wait to read the next.
As an Air Force medic, Bree Marks saw the worst the War on Terror had to dish out. Now a physical therapist, she uses her experience to help other veterans heal from their physical wounds; while she battles her own emotional damage.
Blaming himself for his best friend’s suicide, former Army Ranger Jase Larken, retreated from life. To honor his best friend’s memory and assuage his guilt, he started an outdoor adventure company to help veterans with PTSD.
Bree had better things to do than catch her cheating fiance in bed with another woman. Jase is something better - for a night at least. For the first time in years, Jase wanted more. When he finds her again, he doesn’t give her another chance to run.
Jase’s protectiveness grates on Bree’s independent nature. She’s dealt with her fair share of alpha-male, door kickers and doesn’t need one telling her what to do now. But as a new danger emerges, Bree and Jase must face their pasts, before someone’s obsession with Bree destroys any chance they have of a future.

"Good Morning Malibu, it’s another beautiful day on the west coast! I'm Noely Clark, your host: and I'm in the market for love…”
Outgoing? Check.
Single? Check.
Open to finding love? Check.
I signed up immediately.
A hopeless romantic with an exceedingly demanding schedule, I've found it impossible to find the man of my dreams—so Going in Blind seems too good to be true! That’s until they start setting me up on dates—three very different, very attractive, very distinct blind dates—and only one thing is for certain . . .
I’m in big trouble.
Good Morning Malibu,
I'm Noely Clark, and I have a choice to make.
The question is who will I choose; the suit, the rebel, or the jock.
EXCERPT:
NOELY
“Just state my name?”
“Yeah. Gives us a quick rundown on who you are, what you do, your interests, and what you’re looking for in a man.”
I nod and clear my throat. Sitting tall, my hands resting in my lap, I speak directly into the camera . . .
“Hi, I’m Noely Clark, and I’m one of your Good Morning, Malibu hosts. As you know, I’m single and in the market for love. As a twenty-seven-year-old woman who has had her fair share of rotten relationships, hookups, and dates, I want to try something new. I want to be thrust into a program where my celebrity status isn’t the first thing someone knows about me, where I can be known for who I am as a person rather than how I’m represented on TV.”
“And who is the person you want to be known for?”
Tilting my head to the side, I purse my lips, thinking of my answer. “Just a regular girl who loves Tom Hanks, would do just about anything adventurous, and would rather be seen eating nachos at a hockey game than enjoying a chardonnay during a classic night at the opera.”
“And what are you looking for in a man?”
Taking a deep breath, I look straight into the camera. “Someone who will cuddle on my couch and watch a classic romcom with me. Someone who will challenge me. Someone who is respectful and courteous to others but also has no qualms about shouting at an official while pounding on the glass at a hockey game. We don’t have to be a perfect match, because when is that really the case? But I want our match to be close with a little bit of wiggle room for some give and take, because what’s love without a little bit of compromise, without being able to adapt to your partner and love what they love? It’s the people in our life who mold us, and I’m far from being molded completely.”
Meghan just gets better and better. She brings us this sweet and charming story of Noely Clark. She just wants love. She has a great family and she just wants one like the one she grew up in. She loves her brother and his family. You get a close look at her relationship with him and her sister in law. You will laugh out loud while reading most of the dialogue.
Noely decides to join an up and coming dating service. When her boss gets wind of this he decides he is going to use the footage on Noely's Morning Talk Show. I loved the relationship with her co worker and support she has there.
When she begins dating, I thought man, they set her up with a great guy but has got to be flawed right? Nope, he's perfect, just mysterious. This mystery guy just isn't open enough for Noely. I loved her obsession with 'You've Got Mail', I loved that the book was a comparison of this favorite romantic comedy. The "Suit" just isn't the one.
Next we meet "The Rebel", he was personally my favorite. He was carefree, giving, and spontaneous. He brought out something in Noely that she didn't know she had.
"The Jock" was a surprise. I didn't figure a high profile guy would decide a dating service was for him.
I kept guessing to which if any Noely would choose as Mr. Right. She was getting frustrated and so was I. Meghan did such a great job of keeping us on the edge of our seat. This is such an unique story. Along with all the laughter there is real heart and emotion shared.
About the Author:
Author, wife, adoptive mother, and peanut butter lover. Will dance for laughs, won’t eat anything spicy because you asked, but will squeeze boobs in replace of a hug. Grew up in Southern California (Temecula, anyone? Anyone?) lived in New York (the armpit of NY, not the city) and now resides in Colorado with my wife, son, two dogs, three cats, and my multiple book boyfriends. Loves love, anything romantic, and will die if I ever meet Tom Hanks. Yay, books!

Release with Review:: Hey, Whiskey by Kaylee Ryan
Title: Hey, Whiskey
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: New Adult
Release Date: January 9, 2018
Release Date: January 9, 2018
Blurb
I’m over this year, and I’m over relationships. I’ve
learned that the only person you can count on in life is yourself. Moving
forward, I’m living for me. Working toward standing on my own two feet,
that’s my goal. Funny how meeting him changed my path.
It’s been years since I’ve been back in this small town of
West Virginia for more than a day or two. Spending time here brings back
a lot of fond memories. When I stopped by an old friend’s bar, I was
expecting to grab a drink and catch up. What I didn’t expect was her.
We share an undeniable attraction, but we continue to fight
it.
Until one night in Vegas changes everything.
Review:
So neat thing I thought about this book, I live in West Virginia, and the book is based in West Virginia.
Saylor finds herself single and homeless all within a week of burying the most important person in her life. Her ex is scum and I loved how Saylor put him in his place. She didn't back down even when he comes groveling back. She finds herself alone but what else is new for her.
Rhett is trying to figure out life. He thinks he knows what he wants until an illness brings him back to this little town. A town that has always felt like home. I loved his relationship with his parents and gramps. I loved the little group of friends we are introduced to.
During all this it was nice to see the relationship develop quickly and for Rhett to be honest where he stood with Saylor. He wasn't hiding from his attraction for her. He let her know that a relationship would happen and she shouldn't be scared.
I loved how the older people in this book were important. They werent cast off as a problem or inconvenience, they were family and loved. Gramps is who steals your heart. You will fall in love with this old man who just wants his grandson around more. You will laugh at his stubborness and plotting. You will sigh when he is sweet to Saylor but not to Rhett.
This book had a little bit of everything and Kaylee of course did it so good that as soon as I began I was ending. I read this book quickly because of the flow and story line. It didn't bore me, it didn't drag on, there was no big drama, it was real life.
Kaylee Ryan is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling
author. When she’s not spinning tales of happily ever after, she’s
reading or spending time with family. Born and raised an Ohio girl,
Kaylee resides in Cincinnati with her husband and their son.

Release with Review:: Something So Irresistible by Natasha Madison
Max Horton
They call me an outcast like it's a bad thing.
An asshole byproduct of a shitty upbringing. I don't care about anything except myself and my little sister.
I will always protect what’s mine.
With one year left on my hockey contract I'm keeping my head down and my eyes on the goal.
A collision, with her, changes my entire existence.
Allison Grant
Never fall in love with a sports star. That's what my stepfather always said. He told me athletes are complicated and moody—that the higher their paycheck, the lower their morals.
As public relations for the New York Stingers I know exactly what he means, but I can’t seem to say no to a friendship with one beautiful, damaged man.
What started out as hate turned into something else.
We tried to stay away, to keep our distance, but the pull was too strong.
Something forbidden turned into something so irresistible.

Review:
Max is the bad boy, well that's what everyone thinks. He just wants to be left alone. He just wants to play hockey. He is good at his job and he loves it. He is doing what he needs to do for himself and his sister. I loved his relationship with his sister.
Allison is offered a job of a lifetime. Although everyone might think its because of her awesome dad and brother who are hockey God's, it isn't. She more than earns that job thorough the book giving the team an incredible opening day and more time with fans than her predecessor did for them.
These two start out bantering very meanly to each other, then decide to truce, which turns into a heated argument. I laughed at how much each wanted to have the last word. They do eventually become friends that turns into lovers. I loved watching the relationship happen. Nothing too fast, nothing hasty, it turns into respect, then respect turns into love.
Natasha gives us another 5 star book. The details, the banter, and the plot line are all on point. She gives you characters you want to be best friends with. She gives you a family you wish you were a part of. She gives us a look into the lives of people that could be real and we wish they were.
When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

BLURB:
Some people are unforgettable.
Like, the first sheriff that pulled you over for speeding.
The first person to kiss you senseless on the hood of a car.
And, the first guy to make you orgasm.
But, when all of those things are from the same man; let’s just say unforgettable doesn’t even come close.
I wonder if he ever thinks about me and everything we ALMOST had.
Oh, he remembers and he’s prepared to put his money where his mouth is…
Review:
When you know a book is going to squeeze your heart. Yea I knew reading the prologue that this one would hurt. Sophia leaves at 17 years old, not to be heard from again. Family were not even sure what was going on with her. Her mother moved her and took care of her. Now she is back.
Carter pulled over Sophia at 17 and hadn't looked back when it comes to love. He knew she was his person. Who knew when she came back all the feelings would still be there. They start off where they left things. Their chemistry was really awesome, they were able to finally have that relationship they deserved to have 10 years ago.
Carter and Sophia got me. They make you believe in good people. They make you want to be friends with them. They take care of family well.
When Carter gets a surprise that takes all the breath from both of them, they have to make it work. They have to decide what is best for them. I am thankful that Sophia chooses Carter.

Release with Review:: A Perfect Fit by Zoe Lee
Are you ready for a sweet small town romance with feels?!
A Perfect Fit by Zoe Lee IS NOW LIVE!
A Perfect Fit by Zoe Lee IS NOW LIVE!
Two big hearts, one big messy ride.
Daisy Rhys is trying to sneak away from a wedding reception, when Dunk McCoy—the sexy high school football coach and guy known for a good time—comes to her rescue. He's sweet, nice and keeps putting his foot in his mouth. Daisy is totally delighted. A quick rescue turns into a full on press of a different kind. Their chemistry is something different than Daisy has ever experienced but it looks like one-night was all that was meant to be.
The next morning, Dunk McCoy wakes up after the best sex dream of his life. But when his friends point out that he’s sporting a hickey, he’s adamant that his Cinderella could be perfect for him. He’s determined to find her, and his laughing, disbelieving friends are only too happy to send him on her trail.
Can he convince her that he wasn't just trying to score? Or will Dunk's attempt at true love be benched for good?
Review:
Daisy and Dunk's story was a cute quick story. They have known each other a long time. They come from a small town. Everyone knows everyone's story, no matter how humiliating it might be. They begin dating but the question is can Dunk hold a grown up relationship. They find out and much more about each other during their time together.
