I Dream of Cassie caught me by sweet surprise. It follows that of a man going through hard times and down on his luck, turning things around in his love life. After 14 years with the same woman, things changed and he no longer thought he’d have the love for someone he once had. Then one day things changed. The curly haired girl walked in this life and unexpectedly changed him. Professor Valentine never thought of falling for his student.

No Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio – Review by Tracy Wilkin

No Strings AttachedNo Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Strings Attached is a melt your glasses steamy romance by Lara Ward Cosio. To say this book was a jolt to the sensual senses was a gross understatement. This story left me in a puddle of lust, wonder and fulfilment. It was everything my romantic little heart could ever desire. From the intense build up of emotions between the main characters, to the happy ending, No Strings Attached dotted every I and crossed every T. Slow burning lust, what started out as casual soon became something much more complex. Add in an ex and let the fireworks commence. I could not have been more blissfully happy with a story than this one.

Drama. Check. Sizzling attraction. Check. Wit and humour. Check. A romance with everything. Check, check and more check! Lara Ward Cosio, you have outdone yourself. An impossible to put down drama that was perfectly executed and will leave an unforgettable and momentous impression. 5 stars.

A Gentleman’s Stipulation (The Scarlet Salon Book 4) by Jean Wilde – Review by Pauline Hondl

A Gentleman's Stipulation (The Scarlet Salon, #4)A Gentleman’s Stipulation by Jean Wilde
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A gentleman’s stipulation is a great historical romance. I like how Lady Victoria says what’s on her mind and the real vulnerability in the characters. The differences in their class and their dislike for each other makes them fight their attraction. An unfortunate event forces them together leading to an edge of your seat story. It was so good I had to go back and read the first books of the series.

Flirt: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow – Review by Gail Guerrero

Flirt: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus #2)Flirt: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flirt by M L Sparrow

Five Stars

I can’t believe what I just read. It was so real and raw I felt like I was living the author’s words. Riley has an addiction but she doesn’t see it that way. Cam has loved Riley for a really long time but doesn’t think she notices him. I loved every word of this story because it told a story that we need to hear. Kids are out here suffering and we have adults feeding them drugs. The pressure these kids feel to be perfect to perform perfectly is heavy. The author did a great jib highlighting the life of young adults on two different paths trying to meet in the middle. Cam wants to help Riley but it seems like she is just dragging him down. She doesn’t believe she needs help but clearly something needs to change. I felt angry at her parents and how they enabled her. The mom should’ve known that the manager was shady and kept him away. Over all it was a great story that made you want to hold Riley and tell her there was a better way and that you were there for her.

Flirt: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus Series) by M.L. Sparrow
5 out of 5 stars
Flirt is book in What Happens On Campus series written by M.L. Sparrow and it the second book that I have read buy this author. Flirt is an adult sports /nerd romance that hits all the right spots. We get to see plenty of action on this campus. The characters are well written and are mature for their ages especially what they have been through. The plot was believable with college kids and their struggles and triumphs. We also get to see the awesome characters from book one Player….
Things aren’t what they appear to be Riley Murphy has to give up her promising gymnastics career due to a devastating injury, so she decides to join her twin sister at St Joseph’s University in Texas. Finding a best friend in her roommate, Chloe, she nonetheless finds herself going off the rails as she indulges in drugs, alcohol and boys.
Riley realizes with all the partying she has done that it turns into something she can’t control… Too ashamed to confide in her friends or family, and with a boyfriend who does nothing but feed her addictions, the person she turns to is Cameron Lucas, someone she knew as a child.
Cam has loved Riley since he was a kid and used to go to work with his mama at the Murphy estate, but she was always so far out of his league. Now he’s beginning to realize that he never really knew her in the first place… However, that realization only deepens his feelings.
But the question is, how far is he willing to go to help someone who won’t help them self? And can he discover the demons driving her to self-destruct? Can Cam save Riley? Will they have a happily ever after or a tragic ending.
I highly recommend this book/ series…

Flirt: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus #2) by M.L. Sparrow – Review by Jenni Bishop

Flirt: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus #2)Flirt: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flirt: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus Book 2) by ML Sparrow​ is the second book in the series. It follows a college student who has been struggling to find her way after her life long dreams came to an end. The story was a bit of a roller coaster ride, a bit haunting and a bit on the dark side when having to deal with issues of a young adult who doesn’t make smart choices. I wanted to smack some sense into the main female character of this story but it was a good read. Reading YA stories often instill angst in me as a reader and this had a whole lot of them.
If you like angst in your YA college romances then this is a read for you.

Player: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus Book 1) by ML Sparrow – Review by Jenni Bishop

PlayerPlayer by M.L. Sparrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Player: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus Book 1) by ML Sparrow and is a Young Adult college romance story and the first book in the series but you do not have to be a young adult to enjoy this story.The story is well written and any one who loves this genre will love this. The story is told in the different POV’s of the main characters which, as always, gives you that much needed insight to a character that you would not otherwise get. Unfortunately, running away does not fix problems, they follow you everywhere but learning to live with those problems and forgive yourself, then you will truly heal. Of course a hunky football player and a strong emotional connection with said hunk, certainly helps.

This story will please those of you who love YA college romance stories. I am off to read the next book, Flirt.
