Fall In Love(Lovewell Landing,#1)

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
 
 Thank you to author,L.B Dunbar for EARC. All opinions are my own.
 
  




Neve Snowe doesn't need to settle down. She is already settled in her small harbor town, with a cozy beach cottage and part ownership in the family-run auto repair shop. She doesn't want a man, but she likes them. And she has one golden only sleep with flatlanders. You know, the guys who never intend to stay in Lovewell Landing, only use the coastal area for a brief holiday. 


And the last thing she desired was the unexpected . . . to be expecting. 


Tate Love spent his summers in Lovewell Landing as a teenager, but somehow he'd missed the beautiful girl who turned into a spunky woman, daring him to jump into the icy ocean one New Year's Eve, then slept with him near the town's sacred well, holding spell-binding waters. 


He never thought he'd see her again, until nine months later, a business prospect brings him back to the area.
Now, the man who longs to be tied down finds that one night planted the seed to everything he ever wanted, while he holds the pen that could sign away all she's ever loved.

I adored Neve and Tate’s story! It’s such a heartwarming story that had me overflowing with emotions. I had a feeling that I was going to enjoy this book. Since I discovered the author last year, there hasn’t been a book of hers that I haven’t loved. However, there is something about Fall In Love, that will have you falling in love with the characters, especially Neve and Tate. I loved the way Tate took care of Nave, despite the way she pushed him away. Although the two of them had a one-night stand, you could tell that they cared about each other more than that, even if Neve tried to deny her feelings. I loved how excited Tate was when he found out he was the father, and how willing he was to do anything to take care of Neve and the baby. 


I loved all the fall vibes in this book. All the descriptions in this book made me wish that Lovewell Landing was real, so I could go visit. It sounded just like my type of town. Fall In Love is the type of book that, once you pick it up, you will have trouble putting back down. I wanted to keep on reading this book, but because of school, I had to force myself to put it down. I did find myself thinking about the story and wondering what would happen next with Neve and Tate. I understood why Neve didn’t want to let him in, but I was hoping that she would see that he was here to stay and that he cared about her. I was rooting for them all the way through the book. 


This story will touch your heart in so many ways. The depth of the characters was phenomenal; especially for Neve and Tate. I fell in love with Tate from beginning; he’s the type of guy that every girl dreams about. Everything that he did for Neve; it melted my heart and had me smiling. I wish I could give this book more than five stars; it deserves every star. I’m excited for the next book in the series. Highly recommended for romance fans; especially small town, second chance tropes.

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.
