Audiobook Review: The Dating Ban

Image
  Finding yourself gets complicated when someone else finds you first. Ivy At forty-one, my career as an Urban Planner is on track, but my personal life? A total car crash. After one too many terrible dates (and a foursome mishap that shall never be mentioned again), my therapist handed me a three-month dating ban. Apparently, I’m supposed to “focus on myself,” which so far includes yoga I’m terrible at, clay work that looks like it was done by a four-year-old, and a baking attempt that produced something akin to cat vomit. But I’m determined to stick to the plan and so the last thing I need is the nosy café owner with the cheeky smile setting up camp in my dreams. Theo Life as a single dad means keeping up with Lucy, my 5-year-old tornado who can charm free biscuits out of strangers faster than I can make a flat white. Between running my Viennese café and bedtime negotiations that rival UN peace talks, I don’t exactly have time for complications. Then Ivy shows up, all sass and de...

Book Review: Pine for Me

Image
  He’s my Hollywood heartthrob ex-husband. My hot new neighbor. And, thanks to one reckless night, my soon-to-be baby daddy. Patton Pierce has a knack for showing up when I least expect him—my street, my salon, my martial arts studio. Even my dreams. Sure, I’ve pined for him over the past seven years, but if he thinks his low-slung gray sweatpants, backward cap, and infuriating grin will make me forget our past, then he’s in for a rude awakening. But then my sister’s bachelorette party happens, and I have one too many drinks. One ridiculous dare later, and I find myself “kissing the boy I used to love”. One kiss leads to one incredible night. And one night leads to  two very pink lines. Patton says he wants me back, that nothing would make him happier than to have this baby with me. But I’ve heard those words before. He chose Hollywood over me before, and he’ll choose it over me again. Still, with him taking care of my every craving—both in and out of the bedroom—it’s getting ...

Book Review: Snowed in at Hallow's Cove

Image
  Learning to ski is hard enough without a Yeti making you weak in the knees. Daphne thought she finally found her family with her wealthy fiancé. So much so that the fact that he’s her professor seems like an unimportant detail. But when he drags her to a snowy monster ski town called Hallow’s Cove, it’s not for romance (or even fun). No, it’s so she can “learn not to embarrass him” during the annual family ski trip. Between the constant corrections and the way he cuts her down in front of people, she doesn’t feel like a bride-to-be so much as a student who’s already flunked the course. Then she crashes—literally—into the arms of Andri, a ridiculously hot yeti ski instructor who actually thinks her wipeouts are cute. Suddenly she’s drinking cocoa without side-eye, laughing until her cheeks hurt, and maybe falling for someone kind with actual warmth under all that fur. Will Daphne stick with the security of the pompous professor, or hit a 180 into the messy, thrilling kind of love ...

Book Review: Lost in Forever

Image
  Born into a faith that shrouded the demons who walk among the living. Forced to our knees in repentance, but chose to stay for more than prayer. Vantasy offered us an outlet for our sins and connected us deeper than the monsters lurking in the shadows ever could. In the end, there must be a sacrifice to be lost in forever. THIS IS A DARK POLY HAREM ROMANCE WITH VERY HEAVY TRIGGERS. READER'S DISCRETION IS HIGHLY ADVISED. My Review Ellie and Abel are sister and brother. They both have experienced past trauma. Yet, the trauma brought both of them closer together as siblings.  Ellie works through her trauma by her writing. She is a romance author. The things she writes about are just dreams. Speaking of dreams, she does imagine with it would be like to be with not one for but guys. Koen, Joel and Cole are Abel's friends. Let's just say that Ellie's dreams become a reality and she is addicted.  Caramela is a cam girl. This outlet helps her work through her trauma as well. ...

Audiobook Review: Kneeling for Daddy

Image
  NIKOLAI We built this empire with blood and brutality. We don’t answer to anyone. We’re untouchable. Or at least, we were–until someone dug deep enough to find the secrets that could burn it all to the ground. The price of their silence? A marriage that merges their dynasty with ours. I don’t want a wife–especially not Ani Sargsyan, the spoiled mafia princess with a sharp mouth and hatred for everything I am. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my family and what we’ve built, even if it means putting a ring on her finger… And a leash around her throat. She doesn’t have to love me. She just has to learn how to obey—like a good little pet. ANI I was never supposed to be part of this deal, but my brother has other plans–trading me off like property for the sake of his ambition. I don’t want this life. I definitely don’t want him–Nikolai King. Cold-blooded, merciless, and determined to control me. He thinks he can own me. Break me. Bend me to his rules. We clash at every turn—hate-l...
