This book had it all! I couldn’t wait to read this from the title alone! It exceeded all my expectations. Filled with Love, Laughter, Drama, Revenge, and Friendship. I really appreciated the Friendship between Ruby and Emily. This was an easy quick read with lots of drama that kept the story going, while building up some amazing characters. Highly recommended for anyone looking to read a contemporary comedic romance.

Loved this!
Emily’s best friend, Ruby, is left at the alter on her wedding day. Emily and Ruby are now off on Ruby’s would be newly married couples honeymoon cruise and Emily is set on making her bestie enjoy herself as much as possible – including pose as her new wife. Emily and Ruby become fast friends with the dreamy photographer, Max and shenanigans ensue.

The premise was great and my favourite thing was the friendship between Emily and Ruby. The details of the cruise were spot on, felt like I was on the ship with them. The tension between Emily and Max was satisfying and the pacing was perfect.

I was hooked as soon as I started readying. Such an enjoyable read!

I loved this book. Ruby and Em are my kind of people. When you are jilted at the altar, take honeymoon. Even if it’s a honeymoon couple cruise, you know there will be a hot single guy. Tada, the photographer, Max, was a hot guy that mowed Em over right from the start (Quite literally). This is a funny rom-com that will have you crying and laughing through their misadventures. You might even find yourself relating to some of their troubles. Heavens, I did. A fun, contemporary read with drama and a few twists and some unforgettable characters make this a book that you just can’t pass up. I’ll be putting this one on my shelf to reread and share. A new author to me. I hope to read more.

This one was a little disappointing as the synopsis sounded so good but did not deliver. I am all for a close girl friendship and I loved the idea of the two girls going on the honeymoon cruise after Ruby’s fiance left her. I was not too fond of the constant comparison to Ruby and the little pity parties Emily constantly had and then Ruby going back and forth half the time about getting back or not with her ex. Emily was too much in her head and lacked confidence, which bothered me. It became so much of the story that I kept rolling my eyes. The cruise aspect was a lot of fun, I have never been on a cruise so it was fun to read about what that could be like. I also did not like how much she was obsessed with Max at first it was very insta-love for me and I hated how quickly he jumped to I love you. His character was okay for me, he is sweet but i didnt understand him well. This was a few days worth of time and they immediately fall in love when the barely know each other??? Not realistic for me and I did not see what there was to love yet. The potential for the relationship was strong but just needed more than just sexual tension to get me to that level. I also really did not understand the need for the girls to be pretending to be lesbians. Ruby just kind of sprung that on Emily at one point and it didn’t make sense because, in the beginning, they tell the cruise director the situation, and it’s not a big deal that they are not a couple. I did not like the lying to Max and they clearly didn’t discuss it ahead of time so it was sloppy and just annoying to me that they came up with this story but then did not intend on playing it out and were just deceiving a bunch of strangers for no reason and then lying to the only friend they make the whole trip. The drama with the director was kind of fun for a little flare but it was over the top as well. I think this story has a lot of potentials but definitely could have been better. There are so many ways to write this kind of story and this just wasn’t the best one. It was a fun quick read overall but not my favorite.

This book had it all drama, laughter, and certainly a lot of love! I really enjoyed this adventure, everything felt right and fell into place perfectly as I read. Definitely a perfect read any day of the year!

Personally I really connected with Emily. Trying to be the perfect best friend, and has her own stuff going on. Her personality reminded me of myself. Always feeling second best in life was a great comparison to my own life! I enjoyed the random circumstances that occurred, and when you plan something, something else happens instead! The book had a lot of heart all the way through. And you cannot deny the love of a best friend. Defiantly was felt strongly with Emily and Ruby. I loved the author’s writing style. The reading was light and heartfelt. A great joy to read. Author was great at descriptions as well! Loved it!

Could not get enough of this must read book and author. Certainly will be reading more by this author as I just really loved and enjoyed this one! Highly recommend this must read book and author hands down!

4 Stars

Revenge Honeymoon by K.J. Gillenwater is such a fun read. This contemporary romance had me hooked right from the moment I read the title. And even if the title hadn’t won me over instantly, the blurb certainly would have sealed the deal.
This is a romantic comedy about love, loss, friendship, a honeymoon cruise, a little revenge, a fake relationship (with a difference), chemistry, insta-love, angst, drama, humour, antics, and finding love unexpectedly.
How to make the best out of a bad situation, and maybe strike at a chance for a little revenge in the process. When her best friend is left at the altar, Emily wants to cheer her up and suggests they take the honeymoon cruise together instead of letting it go to waste. Only problem is that the cruise is only for newlyweds…… but they soon decide on a solution- taking the cruise by posing as a couple. Easy right? But what happens when Emily meets Mr. Right? Yep, you guessed- you’re in for an entertaining read- now let all the mayhem, antics, and fun begin….
Happy Reading…

Thank you, K.J. Gillenwater!

This was a cute book to read. It had me laughing till I couldnt breathe. It features Hudson who is a Holm, that has the world at his feet. Having some bad PR when he decides to boot the local shelter, there are a lot of people who aren’t happy with him including the main protagonist Georgia.

When these two meet up online sparks fly among other things! The mischief these two get into online gets hilarious. I loved reading this story and look forward to other books written by this author

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve been a long time poetry fan and I picked this one to read, I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve read some that I can’t get into or fully grasp the concepts. I read others that are unbelievably funny. This one has so many tv/movie references, musical annotations, and especially the Beatles references that it not only caught my attention but kept me enjoying the entire journey of the poetry collection.
Poetry has a way of depicting emotions and physical states for specific points in time for many. Becker does an amazing job with his lyrical connotation as people transition from discovering oneself, seeking content culture into deeper life meanings, and moments of discovery in bringing meaning. Yet again poetical lyrics are made for one’s own interpretation and realizations to take away after reading. I found Becker’s work to be very moving and adaptable to many of my own experiences. This is an absolutely well worthy read and one to keep for future reference. I’d read this again and again.

This romance really had it all, I mean who doesn’t love a romance that you can pull for, great characters, and all of the cute adorable pets you could imagine? This book really takes you on an emotional roller coaster, as we watch Georgia grow and change well go from laughing, to crying, to wanting to throw the book. But in the end this romance is just absolutely perfect for either being the next read on your tbr or getting you out of a reading slump. Personally I have never read anything from this author before but after reading this one I will definitely be looking for more.

Enemies to lovers
This was a very entertaining read. With lots of laugh out loud moments, this romantic comedy will appeal to a wide audience. With relatable characters who say it as it is and a good balance of drama, angst and romance I had a really good time reading this book. Hudson and Georgia were so opposite that when the chemistry started to click it made for a bit of heat. Looking forward to seeing more from this author.

4 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This romantic comedy was sweet and fun to read. I love the cover of the book and it drew me in instantly and a story that I needed to curl up to after a long week….

Georgia is a spunky, business owner of Celestial
Pets …. who also takes the world on her shoulders. Georgia tries to also help save a local pet shelter while making cute costumes for pet owners…while balancing a big increase in her rental space. Hudson Holm is all business… trying to clean up the aftermath after a fallout at the pet shelter and rent increases… while trying to take care of a cat named Oliver. When Georgia is paired up with Hudson for a social media frenzy that you need to use your pet while conversing… the fun begins. Hudson has Oliver the cat while Georgia has Cookie her dog. The banter back and forth….and not knowing they know each otherwise… what happens when Georgia finds out that Hudson is partly responsible with the rental increases and the pet shelter losing their space?

I loved Georgia’s character as I can totally relate trying to take care of everyone even at times of struggle.

I highly recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hate You Later was a sweet, cute rom-com. I mean, seriously, how can you go wrong when pets are involved???

Georgia is a tiny little thing, but don’t let her size fool you. She literally packs a punch…just ask the younger Holm brother, Bryce. Underneath her tough exterior lies a heart of gold who adores animals and will do anything and everything in her power to save the pet shelter that is in danger of closing because of the Holm family.

Hudson is in town trying to fix the PR mess his younger brother has created. While he might share the last name with his brother, Bryce, he is certainly nothing like him. He has no intention of sticking around for too long. He wants to fix the problem and leave. But, he didn’t expect his encounter with Georgia would change everything for him.

As you can probably guess, these two clash in a big way. Yet, underneath the animosity lies some pretty powerful chemistry and attraction. Both are vying for a pet influencer prize in a contest, and neither suspects that they are chatting with each other online as their pets. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen when they learned each others’ true identities. It was well worth the wait!!!

This read had everything I was looking for…sexy banter, humor, a sweet HEA, and dogs and cats! If you are looking for a light-hearted romance, you can’t go wrong with this one!!!

Hate You Later: Lit Lovers Series Book 1

I love Georgia! I picked this book because of the animals and they are usually the ones I tend to love the most. As much as I love Cookie and Oliver, they don’t get first place this time.

Georgia is not afraid of anyone, but will not ask for help. But that is the way people who had to grow up way too fast tend to be and that is something that connected us for sure.

Hudson isn’t as bad as I had thought at the being. Was prepared for him to be a rich jerk who throws his money in everyone’s face but that wasn’t him.

Georgia and her friendship with Kenna is a lot like the one with my best friend and that made me love them all the more.

Georgia owns a small town pet store and has entered into a Pet Influencer contest with her dog, Cookie. Hudson’s family owns a large company that owns the building Georgia’s shop rents, and has just raised the rent. He, too, has entered the contest but with his cat, Oliver. Coincidentally, they have been paired up in the contest. The two keep running into each other but Hudson’s business threatens Georgia’s business. With Georgia’s hatred of Hudson’s family and their business, the sparks that are flying are either love or hate.
Opinion
This is definitely a “meet cute’ book. With the two bumping into each other constantly, the reader sits on the edge waiting for them to realize who the other one is. Laughter and frustration are certain while reading this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves cute love stories.

An enjoyable and entertaining romantic comedy which had me happily turning the pages. This was a lighthearted and heartwarming story, with a twist on the enemies to lovers theme, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Georgia Starr is dedicated to saving strays, and will do anything to rescue the pet shelter which is being threatened by the Holm family. Georgia comes up with the idea of dressing up her adorable, but goofy boxer mutt and making him a viral sensation, in order to save the shelter. Hudson Holm is dealing with the fallout from booting the pet shelter, when he comes up with an idea to fix his family’s PR problems. His plan involves turning the Persian cat who he’s cat sitting for into an online celebrity.
Every time Georgia and Hudson meet in person they can’t deny their mutual attraction but they also clash, a bit like cats and dogs! What they don’t know is that they have been chatting happily online, just as their pets. However, once their identities are revealed will they stay as enemies of become lovers. This story had a real feel good factor, with some great characters, especially Georgia and Hudson, who’s chemistry really came across in the narrative. The animal characters were just as likeable as their owners, and the storyline flowed well. It had some real laugh out loud moments as well as some drama and of course plenty of romance. I definitely recommend this story.

Light hearted romance that doesn’t feel tacky or overdone. It plays on clichés, chance what-if’s, and the opportunity for readers to shake their heads in knowing as we watch these characters fall. It kept the humor without being cheesy, and had some hard-hitting concepts that were relatable and felt close to home. It dealt with struggles that typical romances don’t hit on without centering solely around them.

Overall a good read and lighthearted feel good book.

Hate You Later is the first book in the Lit Lovers Series and is a super fun Rom Com that I absolutely loved reading. I’m fairly new to this author but I’m definitely adding her to my list to check out what other books she has written. I had so much fun reading this book I caught myself laughing a lot. The characters are fun and developed and make the story come to life. It’s not at all what I was expecting but it was just what I needed to read . This is a story about Georgia and Hudson, she has a business making pet costumes and his family owns the building. These two are both about to use there pets in online chat to get to know each other. I was laughing so hard at times I was asked what was so funny and I kept on reading. I highly recommend reading this super fun book to find out what happens next.

This is a sweet light read – a romcom. Georgia runs a business that makes costumes for dogs and supports a pet rescue. Hudson is the family that owns the building that her business is in. What they don’t know is that they have been paired up in a pet owner’s contest – so while bad news comes through the business side, they are flirty and interested each other via their pets! This is a great light read – sweet and quick. I enjoyed this as a palate cleanser between some heavy reads. If you love romance, this is a good one to pick up!

Can you imagine discovering the complexities of the music/lyrics of the Beatles at the age of 36 and writing a collection of poetry in response? That’s what this author did! Throughout this collection, the author paints vivid imagery of his life and/or emotions in each poem– telling us about his childhood, teenage, and adult experiences. There were times that I was a bit lost in the psychedelic nature of this poetry– maybe I would have understood it a little more if I too were on a different dimension but there many poems that were relatable in the sense of feeling lost in my mind or emotions. Also, the vocabulary is a bit challenging- so keep a dictionary or Google at the ready!

I LOVED this story! It is vastly entertaining! I enjoyed the fast pace and the lovely characters! It all just blended together perfectly to make a sweetly charming story. There are many humorous moments that made me laugh out loud.

The characters are well done and yet flawed at the same time. I was excited to get to know them! They really are likable and/or lovable and I enjoyed them immensely. The interactions between the two main personalities is one of my favorite things about this story. Watching them get together is the sweetest. Secondary characters are just as delightful. I liked that there were a limited number of characters that I could learn about and love. Too many and it is easy to get lost but this book isn’t like that at all.

I could write more and more about what I loved about this book. My best suggestion is just to get it and enjoy it yourself. I could not have asked for a better story from a new to me author than between the Viking and the Battle Pixie. Get it! You wont be sorry!

This book reminded me of one of Sophie Kinsella romances, a laugh out loud romantic comedy. The two protagonists are very strong willed and have a personality of their own. They are very independent, one hates asking for help and the other hates to be taken advantage of.
What happens when their personalities clash? There is a lot of quirks, banter, sparks, tender emotions, pets, rescue, debate, and some drama thrown in.
It is fun,lot of gimmicks, I really enjoyed this book. Will check out more from this author.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lab Spill is the second book in this series. You should probably read the first book, The Cool Thing first for maximum enjoyment. There is definitely some dark humor in this series. In this story you are following the adventures of RL, Jayderay, and Frankie. There are two main settings. The first is in Texas, and the second, well that’s in a place called the Waydown. The Waydown is a place that is the remnants of a long-ago abandoned and thought to be sealed off science experiment gone totally wrong, Lab Spills are creatures that have mutated from this area. Jayderay has been given a house known as Roaton. The house’s personality, a lab created person named Proby (who goes by Elvis), and the cast of characters explore what happens with the breastplate/portal between the “topside” and the Waydown in this series installment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I haven’t read many collections of poetry. However, I found elements of this collection that I identify with, which heightened my enjoyment. I believe that poetry is designed to make you feel something. At times Mr. Becker uses language that I am unfamiliar with. I enjoyed this, because I got the chance to expand on my vocabulary skill, and slow down to really grasp the meaning behind his words. I feel like some of the music references were probably missed by me as I’m not an avid listener to the Beatles. My favorite poems in this volume were the ones that depicted the author’s mental health and how he deals with it. Also, the background design contributes to the themes of the poems, and enhances the reading experience in a lovely way!
