Image
  Riley Reign Thorn was my best friend turned enemy. But we both know this thing between us is more than just a rivalry. I remember the exact day Reign and I ended our childhood friendship. One terrible accident, and I was to blame. That same year, everything fell apart while my friendship with Reign became a rivalry of epic proportions. He was the boy who held my hand when I lost my mom—the boy who taught me the love of the game. Then suddenly, he was gone, and in his place was a calculating, ruthless opponent, both on and off the ice. Reign set out to destroy my life, leaving me behind while he lived in his golden palace and enrolled in an elite private academy, pitting us against each other.

Reign Riley Conrad became the bane of my existence when she ruined my season years ago. It didn't matter that ...

Book Review: Vameer

  Rune Today is my thirtieth birthday. My parents mailed me a gift, like they always do, but I accidentally nick my thumb while opening the box. A tiny drop of blood wells on my skin. And without thought, I press the tip of my thumb between my lips and close my eyes. When I open them, I’m no longer in my apartment. I’m on the side of a mountain. Standing in the rain. Convinced this isn’t real, I seek shelter in a cave. But I’m unable to stop myself from moving deeper into the cavern. Where I find him. A man, lying inside a hidden chamber, sleeping atop an altar. My body is not my own as I walk closer. As I reach out to touch him. To see if he’s real. But then a force stills my hand above his face. And my heart… stops beating. The muscle freezes inside my ribs. While I panic, unable to move, I watch as a single drop of blood beads on my thumb. And falls. Landing perfectly between his parted lips. He opens his eyes. My heart finally resumes beating. I stumble back, falling… And land ...

  🩵Tropes: 🎤 Romantic Comedy with 90s/2000s sitcom vibes (laugh track not included)- Friends meets New Girl 📱Dual POV 🎤 Black Cat x Golden Retriever 📱Fake Dating 🎤 Found Family 📱Ex Hockey Player turned Stand-Up Comedian MMC 🎤 Bi (and masked) FMC 📱One-Night Stand turned Lovers 🎤 “Workplace” Romance 📱BANTER My Review This is a funny and charming story. I did not feel like the age difference between West and Joey was an issue. I enjoyed this factor. In fact, while West's comedy set may include flirting and innuendos, he is very mature for his age. West being a former hockey player, who did not plan to be a comedy star can relate to Joey.  It is a good thing that West has tough skin as the "death stares" that Joey was throwing his way were deadly. It takes a lot to make Joey smile. As West works her way into Joey's life, he gets her to smile more. The road is not easy for Joey and West but in the end these two find their happily ever after or in Joey's line...
