Midnight Detour.

 

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
 
 
     Thank you to author,Savannah Pryce and Love Story PR for letting me be part of ARC Team! 
 


One week. Two seasoned travelers. One major travel disruption neither of them wanted…

 
June Moretti likes to travel alone. Confident, capable, and guided by her personal mantra “everything is figure-out-able”, she’s en route from London to Portland, Oregon for her best friend’s wedding. But when her flight makes an emergency landing in British Columbia, June suddenly has to figure out how to get to Portland in time for the wedding. 

 
Worse? She’s stuck with Cam Olsen. Sarcastic, calm under pressure, and annoyingly attractive, he also happens to be the groom’s brother. With flights grounded and time ticking, their only shot at getting to the wedding in time is an epic journey across the Pacific Northwest by any means necessary—bus, train, or questionable hitchhiking. 


What begins as a travel inconvenience becomes a cross-country misadventure filled with unexpected sparks, confessions, and one too many dodgy hotel rooms. And somewhere along the way, June discovers that maybe not everything can—or should—be figured out alone.

   ðŸŒ·

 
I had a feeling I was going to love this book, based on the blurb and tropes. It sounded like my type of book. The story blew me away; I didn’t expect to fall in love with June and Cam the way I did. There was so much depth in the characters and the story itself. One of my favorite aspects of the story is that the two of them met while traveling. I always loved stories that included traveling. I liked the way June and Cam’s relationship unfolded throughout their journey, and the way they stood by each other's side, even with the unwanted twist their journey took. 


Every page had me on the edge of my seat, wondering what adventures they would face next. I found myself connecting with most of the characters in this book, even the minor characters. I loved how Savannah portrayed every character in the story. I couldn’t put this book down, and when I did, I was thinking about it or talking about it with my friends. Midnight Detour was so much more than I thought it would be. I felt as if I went on the cross-country adventure with June and Cam. 


June and Cam changed in so many ways from the beginning of the book. I also loved the bond between June and Penny. In general, I loved so much about this book that I can keep going. However, I don’t want to give too much away, so you should pick up a copy to find out for yourself.

The Hollywood Switch Up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
 
 
     Thank you to author,Hallie Katherine and Love Story PR for letting me be part of ARC Team! 
 
 
 

 

Impersonating her sister was the easy part. Falling for her sister's enemy wasn't.

 
Erika Morgan is used to being the wrong twin. The overlooked one. The shadow. So when a devastating accident puts her in her famous sister's spotlight, she does what any sensible person would panics, agrees to impersonate her, and prays no one notices she's not the sister they wanted. 


Enter Stefan her sister's gorgeous, infuriating co-star with a grudge, a razor-sharp intuition, walls no one has breached in years—and absolutely no reason to keep Erika's secret when he discovers it. But he does. Worse, he keeps looking at her like she's someone worth finding. 


Now she's stranded in paradise with a man who sees too much, a director who can end careers with a word—and wants something she's not willing to give, and a lie that could cost her everything—including the one person who finally sees her. The only way out is stop hiding in her sister's shadow and step into the light as herself. 


Even if it burns.

  ðŸŒ·

 
Heartbreaking. Inspirational. 


There are many more words to explain this book. When I came across The Hollywood Switch -Up , I was expecting a cozy romcom; it was so much more than that, and I loved every minute of it. I was engaged in this story from the first page until the last. There wasn’t a single page that didn’t keep my attention. When I reached the last page, I wanted to go back and read it again. I had a range of emotions by the time I finished the book, and I tried to figure out the best way to write this review. There's so much that I loved about this book: the characters, the plot, and the setting. I liked that this was about a twin swap; however, it wasn't what I expected (in a good way). 


The way that Hallie portrayed Erika’s growth was phenomenal. By the middle of the book, it was as if Erika were a completely different person. I loved her determination; despite what was happening, she kept on going and protecting the people she loved. I do wish that she had told Stefan what was happening, but I understood why she didn’t. I couldn’t get enough of Stefan and Erika; the way their relationship grew was real. I wished that Erika hadn’t listened to her sister, Annie, and had just let herself feel. Based on how he treated and cared for Erika, he wasn’t what Annie told Erika. I was cheering from the beginning. 


I felt all the emotions, especially towards the end of the book, and that was the part where it became impossible to put the book down. Annie, I liked her, but there were times when she annoyed me. I could tell she cared about Erika, but at times, I felt she cared more about her image. I am curious about her and Bradley, and part of me thinks they should get their own book. I’m hooked and cannot wait to see what Hallie has in store for us next.

The Has -Been(Delleth College,#1)

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
 
     Thank you to author,Wren Riley and Rattle The Stars PR for letting me be part of ARC Team!

 Same campus. Same memories. Same unfinished story.

The only thing Aubrey Vaughn ever wanted was Liam Anderson. At least, that’s what she used to believe.


Now, she’s back on campus for her final year at Delleth, determined to make the most of the time she has left—rooming with her cousins and focusing on the career she’s building in athletic training. But her plans to make this year different quickly crumble when she has to face the one athlete she knows best: her ex-boyfriend, Liam. 


Liam was the star center of Delleth’s hockey team until a shattered leg and one mistake took everything from him. After a year away, the only goals he’s intent on scoring are completing his degree and putting his past behind him. That is, until he finds himself in the same clinical rotation as Aubrey, the only girl he’s ever loved. 


Determined to protect her, Liam does his best to push her away, but they’ve never been good at staying apart. Their lingering attraction, that magnetic pull, drags them back together. Both are keeping dark secrets, trying to outrun the past, but when it finally catches up with them, Liam and Aubrey must decide if love is enough to survive the truth.

 ðŸŒ·

 
I felt so much for Aubrey and Liam; my heart broke for them on occasion. I don't remember the last time I cried so much while reading a book. The Has-Been had me going through a range of emotions, from the beginning of the book until almost the end. When I started reading, I was unprepared for all the emotions I would feel. Despite that, I couldn't put the book down. I was so invested in Aubrey and Liam's story, and I wanted to see if they would find a way back to each other. I loved the way Wren developed Aubrey and Liam's relationship, and especially the way she portrayed their emotions. 


The Has-Been is big on mental health rep and past trauma, and Wren did an outstanding job with it. It was so real, and as I read, I could feel all the emotions Aubrey and Liam felt. One of my favorites is that each character, including the side characters, was an important part of the story. It made me curious about their stories. Reid is one I hope gets a book; there was something about him you couldn’t help but love. The nicknames he came up with had me shaking my head and laughing. I am eager to see what his story is. 


Chosen sisterhood made me smile and had a big effect on me. It reminded me of a few of my best friends, who are more like sisters. I adored her cousins and the way that they were always there for one another. In general, the way that everyone came together, including the guys. I finished this book in one day; I couldn’t put it down, I only did when I had to. I would highly recommend this book—one of my favorites for this year.

One Wild Chance(Chance Brothers Ranch,#1)

 

   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
 
 Thank you to author,Grace Worthington for letting me be part of  ARC Team!
 


She isn't supposed to care about the ranch.
She definitely isn't supposed to fall for the oldest Chance brother.
And she's absolutely not supposed to trust him with her heart a second time.

 
Summer Daniels built her life on land she doesn't own, for a family that could take it back the second Jaxon Chance decides he wants it. Even though she works for Lucky Chance Ranch, Wildflower Farms is hers—the one thing she's built entirely on her own. She's got no interest in reliving the past, and even less interest in the infuriating hockey player who broke her heart on his way out the door after high school. 


Jaxon Chance built his whole identity on hockey. A career-ending injury just took that away, and it's sent him back to the last place he ever wanted to be—his family's horse farm, now failing under a mountain of debt. The only way to save it is to run the place alongside his three brothers, under the terms of a will that gives them no choice. 


What he didn't plan on was Summer Daniels, running her business on his family's land, making him remember exactly what he walked away from. 


But somewhere between their first fight and long days working the horses side by side, something shifts. Summer stops bracing for the day he leaves again. And Jaxon stops pretending he wants to go.

 
The farm is what brought him home. But she might be the reason he finally stays.

 ðŸŒ·

 
I finished this book a couple of days ago and have been trying to find the best way to describe my feelings. I had a feeling I would like this book based on the title and the blurb. One Wild Chance exceeded my expectations. I felt as if I was hanging out with friends while reading this book. I found myself connecting to almost every character, especially Jaxon and Summer. What a beautiful story! I loved the way Grace portrayed the emotions of every character; it felt so real, as if I was experiencing them myself. 


One of my favorite things about this book is the community of Golden Springs. I loved the way the Chance brothers supported one another and, no matter what, stood by each other. The way everyone in the town of Golden Springs supports each other had me wishing I could live there. I loved the way that they didn’t just stand by Chance brothers’ side, but Summer’s too. The community, like this one, is what I love about the found family trope. 


Summer and Jaxon. I liked the pacing and the way Grace portrayed their relationship. I adored the way that Jaxon was always there for Summer, supporting her, helping her, and letting her know that he was there. It had me smiling every time. I hoped that Summer would see how much he cares for her. I loved the fact that this was a closed-door romance. I enjoy reading open-door romance, but I also love reading romance that has emotional depth and focuses more on relationship development and storytelling. The emotions will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Deal Breaker(Deep Cove Millionaires Club,#1)

 

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I came back to Deep Cove with a 6-year-old secret and a million memories I’ve tried hard to forget. But I’ve never been able to forget him. 


Ford Winters is more than just my ex. He’s my first love. He’s the only man I’ve ever truly given my heart to. He’s also the father of a little girl he doesn’t even know exists.
I didn’t plan on coming back home, but when I found out my mom needed me, I didn’t hesitate. So here we are, my daughter Poppy and I, back in the place where I left my shattered heart all those years ago.
What I didn’t expect? Walking into the office of my new perfect-on-paper marketing job to discover Ford owns the multi-million dollar company. He won’t even look at me. He’s furious, and he has every right to be after I walked out of his life without even a goodbye. But I need this job, and the company needs me, so we’re going to have to make this work. 


Easier said than done. 


The pull between us is magnetic. The tension is impossible to ignore. Every second we spend together is fire, and when he finally kisses me, I’m reminded why my heart has always been his.
But when I see how kind and sweet Ford is with my daughter—our daughter—it makes the guilt inside me twist like a knife. If he knew the real reason I walked away from him, if he knew the secret I still can’t bring myself to reveal, he would never forgive me. 


I can’t keep the truth from him for much longer, but how do I tell him without losing everything?

 ðŸŒ·


This story pulled me through so many emotions. I still not over the affect that this book had over me. 


Landyn and Ford are the couple that you find yourself rooting for from the beginning. You could see there was tension, but also attraction between the two of them, from the moment that they reunited. I could tell that Ford didn’t want to feel that attraction towards Landyn, and I can’t blame him; considering how she left. As the book progressed, I could tell that it got harder for him to fight that attraction. It was hard for both to fight their attraction to one another, and I knew that it was only a matter of time until they couldn’t fight it anymore. It was easy to see that they were still in love. 


I loved both Landyn and Ford, and Poppy. I adored the bond that Poppy formed with Ford; how she accepted him. I hoped that Poppy wouldn’t be too upset when she found out the truth. I understood why Landyn kept Poppy a secret from Ford, but I didn’t agree with it. I knew that he would find out eventually, and when he did, their relationship wouldn’t be the same. Deal Breaker is so much more than a love story, it’s a story about second chances, and family. The depth of emotions in this book; especially how she portrayed Ford’s pain when Landyn left; it was phenomenal. I felt at the emotions that Landyn and Ford felt. Deal Breaker was the first book I read by Lily Miller, and I’m excited to check out her others.
