A small town, single dad, enemies to lovers romance.

Crawling back to this small town was never in hockey star Chase Woodson’s plans.
From hitting hockey pucks in front of thousands to selling urinal pucks at his father’s hardware store, coming back home is his worst nightmare.
But being a (newly) single dad of twin boys means making sacrifices. His boys need stability and his dad needs his help in the store.
Now he needs her.
Except, Chase has been the bane of Madison Kelly’s existence since high school.
She just so happens to be the only available nanny in town.
Besides, high school was ten years ago.
People don’t hold grudges that long, right?

It's been a minute since I read this author. She doesn't disappoint in the single parent small town trope. This was a quick read for me but full of all the small town character that warms your heart reading this book. 

Chase needs a nanny. Between his father and Madison's parents, they get the two connected. Neither one wants or admits to wanting a relationship. Both have just left horrible ex's. But chemistry is powerful with these two. 

Soon they are boss with benefits and that  follows with hearts getting tangled. There is a little bit of tension near the end. Loved the boys and both Chase and Madison;s relationships with them.  I loved all the friends and the meddling parents. 

Great sweet read!  More to come in this series it looks like as well. 


I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Expensive. Powerful. And entirely f’d up.

That sums up the pretentious – but elite – circle I grew up in. As much as I hate it, this life has its perks. If I want it, it’s mine. It’s as simple as that. Until she showed up; she’s a tempting little vixen I’m not allowed to have. 

One intense night changed it all between us, threatening to shatter everything we know. She came up with a lie. I came up with a cover. Because the truth is… I can’t keep my hands off her and one night would never be enough.  



I picked this book up because I love the authors. I'm not sure if I read the synopsis ahead or not.  I am not usually a fan of the student/teacher trope. That said, I could not get into this couple. There was lots of steam between the two. In fact the whole premise starts off with them getting busy somewhere they shouldn't have. 

I also felt like I was starting the story in the middle. I was playing catch up as to what was going on and who all the players were.  The couple just acted so indifferent to each other most of the time. I could not connect with them. 

Again, I do enjoy reading these authors. I am hoping this is just a one off for me.

Release Blitz & Review: Through The Glen

 



Through the Glen by Samantha Young is now live!




He’s a cynical, world-weary Londoner. She’s a shy Scot. They might seem like opposites, but a few weeks in the Highlands will bring them together in ways they can’t imagine…

Theo Cavendish is the second son of a British viscount, and he’s spent years running from the aristocratic world he grew up in. Betrayal and loss taught him lessons he’s not quick to forget. As an award-winning screenwriter and creator, Theo prefers to throw himself into the world of film and television. He moves from one project to another, never really letting anyone truly know him.

As a housekeeper at the exclusive Ardnoch Estate, shy Sarah McCulloch feels invisible most days. No one really knows her, and they definitely don’t know she’s a bestselling crime writer. She dreams of seeing her series on screen and believes only one person can develop it for television. On the day she quits the estate for good, she shares her secret with club member, Theo, and asks him to consider her books.

Sarah never expected him to say yes or to show up on her doorstep ready to write with her. Or that weeks spent locked up in her cottage would lead them to form an intense but undeniable connection. A bond that Theo is not sure he’s ready to accept, even though he can’t bear to be without her.

However, when they finally venture out of their bubble, Theo finds he’ll have to battle more than his own demons to protect Sarah from hurt. For he has another fan, one intent on bringing the darkest elements of his most famous script to life. And unless he can figure out this real-life antagonist’s next move, Theo could be in danger of losing Sarah forever.

What a wonderful addition to this spin off of the Ardnoch Estate series.  We have met Theo and Sarah in previous books.  This is their HEA.  

Both MC are in the entertainment industry. Sarah writes novels and Theo produces and writes for TV. Their personalities could not be more different. Admittedly, their first meeting did not go well.  But Theo has a change of heart. The two of them spend some time together away from the public eye. 

Friendship grows into something more.  As will all books in the series there is an underlying mystery/suspense. This one does as well.  We aren't on the estate much and don't see many of the familiar faces there. But that is ok.  We get another look at a whole new setting in Scotland. 

Great addition to the series. Well worth the read!
