Falling Down (The Rockstar Series) by Anne Mercier – Review by Christie Mitchum

Falling Down (ROCKSTAR)Falling Down by Anne Mercier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Falling Down was a quick, enjoyable read. It was filled with tons of delicious sex that should carry a warning that your Kindle might catch fire and combust! Lucy and Jesse are HOT, HOT, HOT!!!! Here’s a quick lowdown…Lucy has had a crush on sexy rock god, Jesse Kingston, since she was a girl. When she and her cousin have a chance to meet him in an airport when the girls are teens, it’s unforgettable for both of them. However, that’s all it is… a quick, friendly encounter in an airport. Fast forward several years later, Lucy is an actress at the top of her game. However, she isn’t happy being an actress and has always wanted to be in a band. So, she’s excited to be in a rock video for a famous band. Little does she know, it’s for Jesse Kingston. When the two meet again, it will be a life-changing event for both personally and professionally.

Jesse and Lucy are one HOT couple; their sex was off the charts!!!! The two have personalities that are opposite to each other, but they share loyalty and love for the ones they care about. Some parts of the story seemed too fast-paced, but I still enjoyed it! I loved the sense of friendship and family. In addition, I loved the delightful twist at the end. I am looking forward to reading the continuation of the story and finding out more about Lucy’s family…there are some secrets there!

The Human Mating Site, Complete Series (The Human Mating Site Series) by B.L. Wilde – Review by Christie Mitchum

The Human Mating Site, Complete Series : A Steamy, Dating Humour RomanceThe Human Mating Site, Complete Series : A Steamy, Dating Humour Romance by B.L. Wilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Enjoyable steamy box set about finding yourself and your “happily ever after!”

The book begins with the demise of Bella’s 12-year marriage. While Bella is hurt, she knows deep down that her marriage has been in trouble for a long time. She discovers that her marriage is one of stability and not passion. As she adjusts to being single, she realizes she has lost her self-identity. When she decides to date again, she is in for a rude awakening…the rules have changed dramatically since she last dated.

Her journey to find her “Mr. Right” is steamy and, at times, hilarious! Each novella is about a man she meets. Some of them are great guys, and some aren’t so great! She discovers more of who she is with each new man, and I love her relationships with her friends.

She finally finds her “happily ever after,” and he is truly worthy of her. As much as I loved reading about her escapades, I loved seeing her become the person she was meant to be.

Oscar and Emmy Visit the Vet (Oscar and Emmy Series) by Terri Sabol – Review by Christie Mitchum

Oscar and Emmy Visit the Vet: A book to explain how visiting the vet with your pets can be fun!Oscar and Emmy Visit the Vet: A book to explain how visiting the vet with your pets can be fun! by Terri Sabol
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oscar and Emmy Visit the Vet is another excellent addition to a fun and educational series for children.

In this book, the children take their sweet kitties, Oscar and Emmy, to the vet for their yearly check-ups. The children and the kitties are slightly nervous, but the adults are great at calming their nerves. The book also highlights the importance of annual exams for pets.

The book’s educational value is a key highlight. It actively involves children in the care of their pets, teaching them about brushing their cat’s teeth, trimming their nails, and the importance of vaccinations. This fun and engaging approach to pet care education is a hallmark of the series. As always, the latest book is a fun and educational read that actively involves both parents and children.

Offsides (Game Time Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Christie Mitchum

Offsides: Game Time SeriesOffsides: Game Time Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have become a fan of the Game Time Series, but this book is my favorite so far!

Two other Wildcats Players have found their HEA. Now, it’s Finn and Chessly’s turn to share their story. Chessly may enjoy watching football, but she has no intention of dating a football player, especially Finn, the D-lineman. He is constantly surrounded by catty jersey chasers. At least, that is what she keeps telling herself. One night at a bonfire celebrating the teams’ big win, she and Finn can’t seem to keep their eyes off one another, and when he offers her a ride home, she accepts. During that ride home, they learn they have a pretty good bit in common. Both are science nerds. Talking leads to an almost kiss until Chessly’s nemesis ruins the moment, but Finn is determined to get a second chance with his dream girl.

I enjoyed all the characters, except enemy number one, Tory, but Finn and Chessly are my favorites. They are so cute together, even when they are arguing. As with all the other books, Jackson, knows how to use the chemistry between the characters, and she doesn’t rush it, which makes the book even better. Chessly and Finn are perfect for one another. He may be a talented football player but he has an even greater mind. One would think Finn knows a lot about women since so many throw themselves at him, but he is clueless at times. Some of that might be that he is just a nice guy. I was glad that Chessly finally saw that and didn’t continue to think he was basking in all that attention. Chessly is no shrinking violet herself. She stands up for her convictions no matter what obstacles she faces. I thought they made a great team!

The storylines of all three books intersect somewhat, but the things that happen in each book aren’t repetitive. I’m always happy to see my favorite characters from previous books. This is a sweet, spicy read with some angst thrown in, but it was great to be a part of Chessly and Finn’s journey to happiness.

Rock Crush and Roll by Hunter Snow – Review by Christie Mitchum

Rock Crush and RollRock Crush and Roll by Hunter Snow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rock Crush and Roll was a cute, sexy read with two loveable but flawed main characters.

Tyler and Cary have known each other since high school. Both had crushes on each other, but each thought they never had a chance with the other. Fifteen years have passed. Tyler is a music manager, and Cary is the world-famous rock star, her company’s biggest client.

One random day, they run into each other in the office, and an afternoon of coffee becomes more. Tyler has sworn off dating musicians, and she isn’t sure how she feels about Cary’s fame and how that will affect their relationship. To complicate matters, she has the sleaziest boss, who has taken advantage of her for years. She yearns to branch out independently, but how will that affect her budding relationship with Cary? Cary isn’t about to give up on Tyler. He has waited too long to finally get “his girl.”

Tyler and Cary each lend their voices to the story through their own chapters. I enjoyed seeing their innermost thoughts and insecurities, which added dimension to their characters and made them relatable. It was enjoyable watching their road to happiness. The ending was fantastic, and I loved the addition of Tyler’s fur baby, Rory. I’m looking forward to reading more from Hunter Snow.
