Rae Ryder has knocked it out of the park once again with Worth Every Risk, the captivating third installment in the Hawkston Billionaire series! As an ARC reader, I was absolutely thrilled to get an early glimpse into this story, and it more than delivered. I'm giving it a resounding 10/10!
The premise alone is enough to draw you in: a grumpy, recently divorced billionaire, Matt, finds himself needing a nanny and hires the sweet and much younger Aires. The chemistry between these two is undeniable, and watching their relationship unfold is an absolute pleasure. Ryder masterfully builds the tension and emotional depth, making every interaction feel both heartfelt and electric.
This book wasn't just smiles and butterflies, though. It has depth that resonated with me personally. The storyline involving Aires' mother, particularly, brought up some raw emotions, as it echoed my own experience of losing my mother. While it was a difficult point to connect with, it also added a layer of authenticity and vulnerability to the story that I truly appreciated.
Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions! I found myself laughing out loud one minute and shedding tears the next. Oh, and let's not forget the blushes! This book is definitely steamy and delivers on the romance front.
Ryder does an incredible job of developing both Aires and Matt, making their individual journeys as compelling as their relationship. It's a testament to her writing that I'm now even more conflicted on which Hawkston brother holds my heart! This book only intensifies the competition for the title of “favorite”!
Now, the burning question is: Who's next? Seb, I'm ready for your story! Worth Every Risk has left me eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this delicious series. If you're a fan of grumpy/sunshine romance, billionaire tropes, or just a well-written and emotionally charged read, then you absolutely need to pick this one up! Highly recommended!
I had the amazing opportunity to be an ARC reader for this talented author, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The characters of Maddie and Jax are so beautifully written, with Maddie's sassiness perfectly complementing Jax's possessive yet sweet demeanor. The chemistry between them practically sizzles off the pages, making for a seriously hot read.
The restaurant scene was positively scorching, and I couldn't help but wish I was as lucky as Maddie in that moment. Jax's endearing habit of calling her “sweetheart” had me swooning every time, and I found myself longing for a partner like him (sorry, hubby!)
And don't even get me started on Luke and his mysterious secret...I am already counting down the days until I can find out what he's been hiding. Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves a steamy romance with well-developed characters and plenty of passion. I can't wait for more from this author!!
I just wrapped up reading “Puck My Heart” by Sofia Aves, and let me tell you, it was quite the ride! If you're into light-hearted romance with a sprinkle of spice, this one might just be up your alley. The main plot revolves around the ice hockey captain falling head over skates for his best friend's little sister. Sounds like a classic setup, right? Well, buckle up, because things get interesting when a snowstorm strands them together at his family house, leading to some pretty steamy moments. Now, while the story had its cute moments, I have to say that the progression felt a bit rushed for my taste. They dive right into professing their love for each other a little too soon, and honestly, I was left craving more of that sweet build-up that makes romance novels so delicious. It felt like I was missing out on the whole chase aspect—the teasing, the tension, the “will they or won't they” moments that keep you turning pages and rooting for the characters. Don't get me wrong; the chemistry between the characters was undeniable, especially in those spicy scenes that had me fanning myself. But I was just hoping for a little more depth to their relationship. There's something about a slow burn that adds a layer of excitement and anticipation, and I was ready for the full experience. Instead, it felt like I was thrown into the deep end without getting to enjoy the swim. Overall, “Puck My Heart” is definitely a cute, quick read. It's perfect for those days when you just want to kick back with something light and entertaining. While it may not have hit all the right notes for me, I appreciate the fun and flirty vibes it brought. If you're looking for a fast-paced romance with a bit of hockey flair and some cozy winter vibes, this might just be your next go-to book.
Alright, let's dive into the deliciously chaotic world of “Our Pretty Little Cupid”! I just wrapped up my ARC reading, and wow, what a whirlwind of a story! From the very first page, I was hooked—like, seriously glued to my seat with popcorn in hand (or maybe whipped cream and chocolate sauce, but we'll get to that later).
So, picture this: you're introduced to a protagonist whose world is turned upside down by a cheating fiancé. Talk about starting off with a bang! It's a relatable scenario that sets the stage for a pretty wild adventure.
But things take a spicy twist when she finds herself entangled with not just one, but three incredibly attractive bosses. And trust me, these guys come with their own secrets that make the plot even juicier.
Now, I won't spill all the beans, but let's just say that the chemistry between the characters is electric. Enter Juliet, Grayson, Oliver, and Declan—affectionately referred to as G.O.D. (and for good reason!). These four take the reader on a ride that's not just thrilling; it's downright steamy! You'll find yourself blushing as they navigate some seriously risqué situations.
What I loved most about this book is how it perfectly balances humor, romance, and a touch of drama.
The author knows how to keep you on your toes, with unexpected twists that make you want to turn the page faster than you can say “no panties allowed”!
Each scenario feels fresh and exciting, and just when you think you know where the story is headed, it takes a delightful detour that keeps you guessing.
So, if you're in the mood for something that's quick, spicy, and a little bit cheeky, “Our Pretty Little Cupid” is the book for you.
Grab your favorite treat, settle in, and let Juliet and her entourage whisk you away on this unforgettable journey. Trust me, you won't regret it!
So, I finally caved and read “Satan's Affair,” and I totally get what all the hype is about! I flew through it in a single day—talk about a page-turner! It's a bit different from my usual reading choices, but I'd heard so many good things, I had to see what all the fuss was about. There were definitely some intense moments, but Sibby's story really pulled me in. Her childhood memories? Ugh, my heart broke for her. And that ending?! Seriously, I was so invested in her by that point. “Haunting Adeline” is up next, and I can't wait! I think I've discovered a new genre of books!!
I recently finished reading “The Maddest Obsession” by Danielle Lori, a novel that intertwines romance with a dark, thrilling narrative. While I appreciated the storyline and the emotional depth it aimed to explore, I found myself struggling to fully engage with the text. There were moments when I had to put the book down and walk away, only to return later, which diminished the seamless immersion into the world Lori created. The character of Gianna, the female lead, was certainly a challenge to navigate. Her complexity and boldness made her a captivating, albeit sometimes overwhelming, presence in the story. While I recognized her strength, her character traits occasionally felt excessive. In contrast, the male protagonist, Christian, was the standout for me. His obsession with Gianna was intoxicating and left me secretly yearning for someone who could feel that passionately about me. This dynamic between them added a layer of intensity that kept me invested in their relationship, even when the narrative itself faltered. One of the enjoyable aspects of “The Maddest Obsession” was the inclusion of familiar characters from Lori's previous work. These cameos provided a sense of continuity and connection to the larger universe she has built, which fans of her earlier books would surely appreciate. However, despite these familiar faces, the predictability of the plot was hard to ignore. It was evident from early on that Gianna and Christian were destined to end up together, which took away some of the suspense that I typically crave in a romance novel. Overall, while “The Maddest Obsession” delivered an easy reading experience, it didn't captivate my attention as much as I had hoped. The storyline had potential, and the characters were intriguing, but the pacing and predictability diminished the impact of the narrative. For readers who enjoy a swoon-worthy romance interspersed with familiar faces, this book may still be worth the read, but for me, it fell short of the gripping experience I was seeking.
I just finished reading this book that I really wanted to enjoy.
As a big fan of the Philadelphia Phillies and someone who has recently become interested in the Savannah Bananas, I thought this story would be right up my alley.
However, it did not hold my interest as much as I had hoped.
The book features a cute story about a grumpy guy and a girl who seem to dislike each other at first. They have a night out that includes dancing, and from that moment on, their love story begins.
While I appreciate the idea of a classic enemies-to-lovers plot, I found that it did not fully engage me.
One thing I liked was that the author plans to change the names of the players in the story.
The original names felt too close to real Phillies players, which made it a bit uncomfortable for me. I think changing the names will help readers connect with the story without feeling distracted.
However, there were aspects of the main female character (FMC) that I found off-putting. She kept talking about her crush on the main male character (MMC) in a way that felt cringy and child-like.
It was clear that she liked him and was surprised that he was attracted to her, but this repeated emphasis began to feel excessive.
As a reader, I wanted more depth in her character rather than just a focus on her infatuation.
On the positive side, the book did contain some good spicy scenes that added excitement to the story. These moments kept me interested and provided a nice contrast to the more mundane parts of the plot.
However, despite these enjoyable scenes, the overall story fell a little flat for me.
While the book had potential with its cute storyline and some engaging moments, it ultimately did not keep my interest.
As a fan of both the Phillies and the Savannah Bananas, I hoped for a more captivating read. Even though there were some enjoyable parts, the story did not live up to my expectations, leaving me feeling disappointed.
I couldn't put this book down! I loved the plot of the story and the banter between Kate and Nico. I need a man like Nico!! There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for Kate.
It's a feel good book with a good amount of spice to it and I am a sucker for a happy ending.
It was easy to get attached to both of them!
Hard to believe this was Rae's debut book!
I can't wait to read the second one!
