*`Review: The Royal Situation by Lyra Parish

 Title: The Royal Situation
Series: Billionaire Situation #7
Author: Lyra Parish

REVIEW:
5 stars
Lyra saved the best for last. I'm one that doesn't always go for the royal romances, but when one of your favorite authors writes one you read it. This is now my new favorite in the series. I literally couldn't put this one down and would get mad when life got in the way of my reading. I loved Addison and Louis. The deep connection between them is what fairytales are made of. These two had me at their chess playing because that game has a deep meaningful connection to Louis with his grandmother. The storm these two face would knock anyone down, but these two are left standing tall and ready to conquer anything. The king (Louis' dad) was one of my favorite characters in this book. Now my favorite is Addison. She is impressive and she doesn't cower to anyone. Louis is going to need someone like her at his side to rule. I loved all the little hidden meanings on things. The one big take away for me after reading this is Addison and Louis are connected on a soul deep level. This love story is truly beautiful and why people would fight dragons in fairytales. I can't recommend this one enough. 

BLURB:
While my parents search for my future wife, a pretty painter arrives at the palace and ruins everything in the best possible way…

I'm the crown prince and tabloid regular who couldn't find a bride by thirty-five so now my fate is being decided for me. As the palace fills with eligible princesses, Addison Cross shows up to compete for the esteemed royal artist position. I never thought I'd see her again.

There are too many reasons why she needs to leave. Her being my friend's little sister is close to the top. Plus, I'll be engaged any day now with a wedding and child not far behind. The timing is terrible and we're both off-limits. It's trouble in the making, but that doesn't stop us.

We break every rule to be together. We sneak out at midnight, steal moments in corridors, and choose each other in secret as everyone around me plans a marriage I don't want. Now I'm hiding a forbidden affair from those who control my future while falling for the one woman I can never have.

The Royal Situation is a forbidden, secret-romance, royal rom-com with a happily ever after! It can be read as a stand-alone, but for the full Billionaire Situation Series experience, please start with The Wife Situation. Included: spicy scenes and a charming disaster prince who'd burn down a kingdom just to keep her.

*`Review: Can't Shoot Whiskey by Zoe Forward`*

Title: Can't Shoot Whiskey
Author: Zoe Forward


REVIEW:
4 stars
The blurb of this one sold me on reading it. I can't pass up a book with veterinarians. I will admit it took me a bit to get into this one. Josh and Erika have so much history and were high school sweethearts that ended on such a bad note. Now tragedy has brought Erika home. It's going to change her life forever. Old hurts resurface, but under all that a slight glimmer of hope through the grief. My heart went out to Vinny. That little boy is mourning and his life uncertain, but Erika won't let her little brother face it alone. You get to see the small town community at it's finest in this one. Also reminds Erika what community means and how she has missed it. Her ex is a piece of work that's for sure, not Josh the one she left behind in Philly. This book has so much heart in it. One point this book had me in the edge of my seat and holding on for dear life to see what was coming next. The end of this one was a perfect way to end for this couple. The rough journey for them to get where they are was so worth the beauty to finally reach. 

BLURB:
Josh Hurst was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became the villain in my origin story.
I gave him my heart. He broke it without flinching. So, I did what any self-respecting, heart-shattered girl would do—I declared war.
Our revenge game? Legendary.
Until I left for college and swore I’d never look back.

But life doesn’t care about vows made in the dark.
When my father dies unexpectedly, I’m dragged back to the hometown I outgrew, handed guardianship of my grieving kid brother, and forced to take over my father’s struggling veterinary clinic.
And waiting for me—like karma with a smirk—is Josh.
Not as a memory.
Not as a ghost.
But as my new business partner.

Avoiding him? Impossible.
Forgetting what we were? Laughable.
He still looks at me like I’m his. Like we’re a story paused instead of over. Like one spark is all it would take.
And God help me, the spark is still there.
But we don’t do soft. We don’t do safe.
We do oil and fire. War and wreckage.
Whatever we once were—
Whatever we still could be—
We’re enemies.
And this time, nobody’s walking away unburned.

*`New Release & Review: How Not to Fall in Love by Karla Sorensen`*


Title: How Not to Fall in Love
Author: Karla Sorensen


REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
Okay I want to say I love everything Karla Sorensen writes and her MMCs are some of my favorites. Then I started this book and I was so skeptical of Archer. I wasn't feeling him at first, but my words to you are stick with him because he is a Karla MMC to the core. I quickly changed my mind real quick once we really get to know Archer. My heart goes out to him and his sister. One moment changes the course of his life, but also Remi's. I loved Remi and her son Gavin. She does great work at the dog rescue. All the different dogs was one of my favorite parts of this book. Archer grows a lot as a person. It's amazing how much of an impact positive support can be for a person. Remi's Pops is such a joy! There is heartfelt moments, humor, and heat. Oh my gosh the epilogue had the tears flowing. I'm not surprised this was such a good book because Karla crushes single parent and sports romance, but from what I thought starting to the end such different feelings. Also I may have squeed a bit when I saw a few Kings pop in. 

BLURB:
A bad-boy NFL star meets his match in a feisty single mom with this sweet, steamy, and emotional novel about second chances and breaking the rules of romance.

Raising my ten-year-old son, running an animal rescue, and caring for my grandfather leaves zero time for complications, let alone cocky athletes who get under my skin. Too bad the universe didn’t get the memo.

Because a big complication just crashed into my life—literally—in the form of towering NFL quarterback Archer Evans, sentenced to community service at my shelter after a scandal. Despite his mistakes, I try not to judge. He’s got demons of his own, and even though he’s made it perfectly clear he wants me, the last thing he needs is a wary single mom seeing the vulnerable man beneath the muscles and the attitude.

Though I’ll admit, I’m tempted to look.

Not that I’d cave. With his notoriety, Archer would never make it past date two of my eight-date rule. I want simple. Safe. He’s too successful. Too arrogant. Too everything. The definition of complicated.

But as the walls around Archer start to crumble, so do mine. And this complication feels suspiciously like love.

I made the rules. Maybe it’s time I broke them.

*`Review: The Mother Faulker by M.J. Fields`*

 Title: The Mother Faulker
Series: The Brooklyn Bears #5
Author: MJ Fields


REVIEW:
5 Stars
Another great book in this series. The Brooklyn Bears are more than a hockey team they are a found family. A great group of guys and ladies. We get Hildy and Lenzin's story. This one so pulls on the heartstrings for me. Hildy's little sister Lucy steals me heart the moment she appears on the page. She is such a cutie and has these Brooklyn Bears wrapped around her finger. Hildy and Lucy haven't had the best childhoods, but Hildy has the chance to give three year old Lucy the best life. Lenzin and Hildy have little bit of history already, but a little surprise is about to bring them even closer. Lenzin has big Daddy vibes! Phew, that man is lethal when you see him in action protecting those he loves. He steps up big time for Hildy and Lucy. Lenzin is prime book boyfriend material. I love Lenzin's grandma, she is really the only family member I like. These characters go through a lot, but the joy at the end of this book for this little family makes everything so worth it. This is a must read. I read it on a day and a half, stupid adult responsibilities getting in the way of my reading. 

BLURB:
Brilliant, broke, and building stability where none existed before.

I grew up somewhere that assumes your future will look exactly like your past.
Scholarships, discipline, and more late nights than I can count are the reason mine won’t.
I’m within reach of finishing my PhD and building the kind of life where stability isn’t something you hope for. It’s something you create.

Then Lucy arrives.

A little girl who’s already seen more dysfunction than any child should, and suddenly, the future I’ve been working toward carries a lot more weight.
Finishing my doctorate isn’t just about ambition anymore. It’s about making sure Lucy grows up somewhere steady, somewhere safe, somewhere with room to grow.

Which is not the apartment I share with three other people while barely getting by.

Most of the guys who used to live there have moved on with the women they fell for, women I know through the bookstore where I work and a PR campaign I’ve been helping with.
The house that once held half a hockey roster has room for more.

It’s about to become our temporary home.

Built for pressure, burdened by inheritance, best on the ice.

Responsibility has never been my favorite word.
Not when it comes wrapped in estates, expectations, and a family legacy that assumes my life already belongs to it.

Hockey is different. Hockey is something I chose.

Then there’s Hildy.

Brilliant. Stunning. The kind of woman who turns heads the moment she walks into a room, even in thrifted clothes.

Most people underestimate her. That’s their first mistake.
Mine was assuming she recognized me.

But the woman who stole my attention during a lecture, and kept it long after, clearly believed I was just another academic.

She still does.

Which means she has no idea the man she left that lecture with lives at the Puck Pad. The same place she’s about to call home.

What if the night she barely remembers is only the beginning?
