*`Review: The Mr. Right Checklist by Melissa Foster`*

 Title: The Mr. Right Checklist
Serries: Romantic Comedy Series Collection #2
Author: Melissa Foster
Release Date: November 19, 2024


REVIEW:
4 Stars
I really enjoyed this grumpy/sunshine romance. Boy is Fletch a grumpy dude, but he has no chance against Destiny's sunshine personality. Fletch can't be too bad since he is a great Dog Dad to Molly. Molly is just an awesome bonus along with Clementine to this book. A horrible situation turns out to be a turning point for these two. This book has some funny moments with a great sense of humor. This book also has all the feels. There were times this book had tears in my eyes. I could relate to Destiny with the impact of her losses because that's how I feel with the loss of my grandparents. Fletch and Destiny have a fake relationship going on, but the more time these two spend together you can't deny all too real feelings are forming. Fletch and Destiny may not look like they fit on paper, but they have a connection that is special. Destiny has her check list, but sometimes what we think we want is not what we need. A real good read!

BLURB:
A free-spirited proposal planner and a grumpy professor form a hilarious and unexpected situationship that just might lead to more in this steamy romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster.

Dog groomer and budding marriage-proposal planner Destiny Amor believes in true love and happily ever afters. Though it’s not in the stars for her yet—honestly, who can live up to the criteria on her Mr. Right Checklist?—she wants it for others. When Destiny’s first misguided attempt at romance concierge ends in disaster, she’s ready to call it quits, until the supposed groom-to-be steps in with a proposal of his own.

Ryan “Fletch” Fletcher, a divorced-and-never-going-there-again professor, needs to get his matchmaking family off his back, and the disorganized, too-in-love-with-love proposal planner is the perfect solution. He offers to help Destiny get her business on track, if she’ll play the part of his adoring girlfriend at his brother’s wedding.

A professional situationship with her grumpy dog-grooming client? Destiny adores his pup, and she could put up with him to get her business off the ground. With any luck, she might even get that chip about love off his shoulder.

REVIEW:
4 Stars
This was a great holiday romance. The guy who is an ultimate Grinch inherits his family legacy of owning a Christmas obsessed town. Now For me that sounds like Heaven, 365/24/7 Christmas, but for Nicholas it's a nightmare. Or so he thinks because that town still has a piece of his heart. I loved Noelle. I would so be BBFs with her in a heart beat. Noelle will try anything to prove to Nicholas he doesn't hate Christmas. Nicholas may be a grump, but Noelle sure still brings out his romantic side. Thigs get scorching hot between these two. It will make me look at certain Christmas activates different or how naughty they could be. This book is like a spicy Hallmark.  I really loved how everything worked out for everyone. It's an enjoyable holiday read!

BLURB:
Bah freaking humbug.

I’m stuck running this Christmas-obsessed town with an avalanche of memories I’ve spent thirteen years trying to forget.
But it’s not just the town I abandoned… it’s her.
And no matter how much I play the Scrooge, I’m about to find out some ghosts from the past can’t be ignored—or outrun.
Especially now that she’s my sweet new employee, baking spirits merry and bright.
If I want to stay off the naughty list, I have to learn how to play nice.
And let go of the past.

*`Review: My Greatest Joy by Brooke Fox`*

 Title: My Greatest Joy
Series: Maplewood Falls #2
Author: Brooke Fox
Release Date: November 20, 2024


REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
We are back in Maplewood Falls! This is a reverse grumpy sunshine. Things get a little interesting with a cabin rental gone wrong and getting snowed in by a blizzard. Levi is Christmas crazy and Fallon is on the grinchy side. Though we get to know why and it breaks my heart a little. Though as I was reading this I would gladly take Levi off Fallon's hands. A guy who loves Christmas as much as me and his family owns a Christmas Tree Farm sign me up! I would so work at the Christmas Tree farm in a heartbeat. This book made my Christmas heart all romantic and happy. I so loved the banter between Levi and Fallon. I laughed several times while reading this one. It also delivers on the heat because Levi and Fallon steam up the pages with their chemistry. I would highly recommend this one! It's the perfect book to get into the Christmas spirit.

BLURB:
There’s a reason I hate the holidays, but nothing could’ve prepared me for the literal nightmare of flying three thousand miles in the middle of December.

When my coworker gets the flu, I reluctantly volunteer to take their assignment to write a piece on Vermont’s most famous Christmas small town.

After a delayed flight and driving through a blizzard in a minivan to a mountain cabin in the middle of nowhere, I find myself mixed up in a rental scam.

It’s bad enough the owner walks into my room naked and accuses me of breaking in, but then he tells me all the roads into town are closed. Even if I could leave, all the hotels are booked with tourists for the winter festival.

Even worse, his house is decorated like the North Pole.

Like I said, a nightmare.

The only perk about being snowed in with a lumberjack is that he’s accustomed to the cold and lets me steal his body heat in the middle of the night.

But then that turns into more, and even when I try to resist, I can’t help getting attached. It’ll never work out because we live on opposite sides of the country and have nothing in common.

Except, maybe we do…

Off the Bench
Tiffany Noelle Chacon
(Sports in the Sunshine State RomComs, #2)
Publication date: November 19th 2024
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Austin Taylor, once an undrafted free agent and a third-string quarterback, was never supposed to be the starting QB for the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Except now, he is.

Dani Marshall, the Bucs’ data analyst whiz, is all in—betting her career, and even her car, on Austin’s success. The real challenge? Keeping her heart out of the game.

Austin

When the achingly gorgeous Dani Marshall shows up in my tiny Ohio town to sign me to the Bucs, I can’t say no. I expect to ride the bench in obscurity for my entire NFL career. What I don’t expect is to become the starting QB in my first month—or to end up as a viral GIF, tripping over my cleats.

Dani’s betting on me, but I’m starting to think her faith might be misplaced. The closer we get, the more her walls stay mile-high—even as I’m being pulled to her as surely as the moon pulls the tides.

Dani

Research shows that spending time together and sharing personal goals increases the likelihood of developing romantic feelings by 30%. (I will not be part of this statistic. I will not be part of this statistic. I will NOT be part… oh crap.)

After I sign Austin Taylor to the Bucs, I make it my mission to stay away from him—he’s too attractive for me, and, as an absolute rule, I don’t date athletes. Not after what happened last time.

But when I make a bet with my work nemesis over Austin Taylor’s performance, my car is on the line. Now I have to get involved.

The problem? The more I work with Austin Taylor, the more afraid I am that he’s going to steal my heart.

This is the first novel in the Sports in the Sunshine State RomCom series: a collection of interconnected, clean sports romances, each featuring its own unique love story. While all books are linked, they can be enjoyed as standalones. You’ll enjoy high-action sports sequences, sizzling chemistry, with no cursing or smut.
