My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Maria has finally gotten something she wants: a divorce. Unfortunately, that divorce leaves her with no plan and no house. Her family is a traditional, no nonsense nuclear unit so going home won’t work. Her next best option is going to LA to spend some time with her sister the rock star.

Except, she’s not in LA. She’s run off to Missouri to plan a wedding that Maria is supposed to be at.

Thank goodness for Oz Garcia whose house sitting for her and lets Maria crash while they’re away. Suddenly he’s offering to go to Missouri with her for the wedding, she’s offering to sleep with him, all the while, Maria is now financing Oz’s band…so she’s his boss.

Things are about to get messy…

This was a fun, upbeat and romantic rock star romance with a second chance vibe. I found it to be a whole lotta fun, and I’m excited to see what else this series of books can bring to the table.

Highly recommend if you love fast read romances and rock star tropes!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Way Out is Book 2 in the Rock Star series. The books are stand-alone, so there is no risk of confusion. The story follows Maria, who is fleeing to her sister’s house after she’s kicked out of her home by her recently divorced husband. Her sister is away preparing for her wedding but Maria stumbles upon Oz who is house-sitting. I really liked this story. It felt like a grown-up, realistic romance. We get to watch as Maria finally finds true love. Oz is such a kind and perfect man for Maria. The story had the right amount of romance and conflict. I fell in love with Oz. This is a very good romance.

Smooth Hoperator (Love on Tap, #2)Smooth Hoperator by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Smooth Hoperator is the second book in the Love on Tap series. This can be read as a standalone book, but best enjoyed after reading the first book in the series. Carter left his life behind in DC, and his family is unsure of the details. Sunny is a quirky librarian who can’t take her eyes off Carter during his frequent visits to the library. I always enjoy reading books by this author, and this did not disappoint. The story is a bit slow-burn but definitely worth staying with the story. Carter and Sunny are a great pairing in this book. I love how they are opposites and the interactions this creates. There are some suspenseful moments, but they are an integral part of the story. I won’t give away more because I don’t want to wreck the story for anyone. I look forward to reading more from this series and this author in the future.

A Way Out (Rock Star Book 2)

I did not read the first book of the series but I wish I had. It wasn’t necessary to follow Maria and Oz’s story but I’m one of those people that needs to know everything.

Maria is an amazing mom and will do what she needs to for her daughter Riley which is how it should be. Starting over after a divorce and no job had to be scary but she knew her sister would help her out.

Oz has stepped to help his Mom, nieces and nephew financially by killing himself working three jobs along with trying to get recognition for he and his band. Thankfully they have good people there to assist.

I enjoyed reading this book and will be keeping up with this series.

A Way Out is Book Two in the Rock Star series. It is a contemporary romance full of angst, passion, love, drama, family, friendships, dreamers, and of course a fledgling rock star. Maria is trying to bounce back from a bad divorce to a man that she only married because her mom approved. With nowhere to live and a need to get away for a bit she decides to leave town to visit her sister. When she arrives at her sister’s house, she discovers that her sister is in another state preparing to get married. A sexy stranger named Oz is in her sister’s home and Maria cannot help but be attracted to this fledgling rockstar. Both Oz and Maria are going to attend her sister’s wedding, so they decide to travel together. Along the way the attraction grows, and somehow Maria finds herself agreeing to fund Oz’s fledgling rock band. Now she is technically his boss and business and pleasure never mix. The problem is they are attracted to one another. Can they have both business and pleasure, or will they have to choose? A well written story with emotional ups and downs and great characters that you immediately feel a connection to. Oz has a heart of gold and will do anything to support his family. Maria has been through a tough marriage and she and her daughter have been kicked to the curb after a bad divorce. Their stories really tug at the heartstrings, and you find yourself rooting for things to work out for both Maria and Oz. I highly recommend this book!

A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley, #1)A Toast for Laurent by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley Book 1) by Theresa Paolo. I had to pick up this book because I actually made a bet with one of my friends that if we weren’t married by 40 we would get married. Luckily I got married in my 20’s to someone else so I didn’t have to call in that favor. This story is the first in the Vine Valley series. Its a cute story about Laurent who was in love with Phoebe years ago and she broke his heart. When she comes sailing back into his life 20 years later wanting to call in their bet he is shocked. Laurent would never turn his back on Phoebe so he goes along with it but makes her promise to not fall in love with him because he can’t get hurt again. She agrees even though she already has feelings for him but thinks she can get away with it. I really enjoyed this book even though I got aggravated at both characters and their hard heads. I can’t wait to read more in this series. A fun sweet read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I felt that it has the push and pull of the main characters that always leads to an epic story. Maria didn’t start out as a favorite character of mine because she seemed almost weak at the beginning but that did change and she had some amazing character growth throughout the story. I did end up really rooting for her and enjoying who she becomes in this story. Oz is amazing and compassionate. He cares a lot about everyone around and almost has a white knight complex. The story makes you feel like Oz would protect anything and everyone he loves from anything they may face. Don’t get me wrong he does have his moments and they just make him more humanized in the story. I had to keep reading this book just to find out what was going to happen. I needed to know not only what happens between them but also the secondary characters in this book are phenomenal. I hoping that they get books as well because they really helped the story flow and me turning the pages. I highly recommend this book to anyone. That’s it, just to anyone who wants a quick read that will make them feel good but won’t leave a book hangover.

Smooth Hoperator (Love on Tap, #2)Smooth Hoperator by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Smooth Hoperator is the wonderful second book in the Rom Com series Love on Tap by Sylvie Stewart. I thoroughly enjoy reading Sylvie’s fabulous work because I know I am in for some fun, a bit of drama, a little suspense along with fantastic characters.
It is non-stop laughter as we journey along with the well-developed, crazy, quirky, and likable characters I think this is my favourite book by Sylvie to data. Sunny’s grandfather Duke is a cantankerous trouble making conspiracy theorist who I just loved. Throw in Carter’s mother, pet skunk and a protective best friend you never know what you are going to get.
Smooth Hoperator has a solid plot and a great storyline full of humour, lots of warmth and heart, a little heated chemistry.
When opposites attract is when the fun starts.
It’s easy to imagine friends and family sitting around enjoying this atmosphere and friends.
Make sure you start with the first book in the series Ale’s Fair in Love and War as it sets the tone of what’s to come.
I can’t wait to read Millers story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Smooth Hoperator is Book Two in the Love on Tap series. It is a contemporary romance that focuses on the story of Sunny and Carter, who are complete opposites but somehow find their way to one another. Sunny is a librarian who is all sunshine and lollipops with a wardrobe as colorful as her personality. She loves helping people and has a heart of gold. Carter has recently moved back to town after leaving his political career behind under suspicious circumstances. He is a bit broody but very protective of his loved ones. Sunny and Carter meet at the library that he frequents, and he catches Sunny’s eye, but Carter thinks she is too colorful and not his type. That is, until he spends a bit of time with her, and she manages to make an impression on him that leaves him wanting more of her in his life. As the two spend time together the chemistry between them grows.

This was a beautifully crafted opposites attract romance story with wonderful characters. Sunny was like a little ray of sunshine that did what she could to help those she loved. Although on the surface Carter appeared to be broody and detached, he too had a heart of gold. On the surface they appeared to be complete opposites but were well suited for one another. I loved the character of Sunny’s grandfather and the situations he got himself into, like the love column in the newspaper that he took over writing responses for. The letters and responses had me chuckling out loud and I could not stop laughing out loud whenever I read one. I highly recommend this book!

This is an author that I have fallen in love with – her writing style, her stories. And this book is the perfect example as to why. It is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone. It makes a great addition to the series and I found it light reading and entertaining. This was the perfect kind of book to pass away an afternoon. It has entertaining characters that you really become engaged with. I especially liked the fact that the heroine is a librarian.
I love how every book by this author is completely different. They all seem to have their own voice and that really makes me connect with them even more. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am already looking forward to the next.

But can they get past their differences?

This is a love story that gets better and better as you go. The characters are wonderful and relatable, the scene is exciting and adventure filled, and the writing keeps you enticed the entire way.

I have been reading this author’s books for awhile and they keep getting better and better with everyone. This is the second book in this series, it can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous book as well. This is a well written story that is fun, romantic and is full of comedy. A story about a fake boy-friend and a librarian. Will these two find more than they are expecting? I found myself hoping they would find their HEA. This is a story with great characters that have great chemistry. Watching the growth of the characters made the story easy to read as well as entertaining. I enjoyed what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and although it is the second book in this series I read it perfectly well as a standalone however it did leave me with some questions about the first book so I’ll definitely be reading that and would recommend the books are read in order. I really enjoyed the story, it was easy to read and I was engaged all the way through. The characters were likeable and well thought out. I liked Annie and loved her determination to make her new venture work and find time to heal from everything that has happened to her. Craig was a really nice character and I loved that he wanted to help Annie so much, they had a great amount of chemistry which was real and genuine.

  1. I was tickled to read Carter’s story. He intrigued me in Ale’s Fair with his silent and broody ways. Now we get to find out his story. There is so much to Connor than many see. He has many layers. Can Sunny get through those layers? She is the the sunshine he needs and doesn’t know it yet. I love how much the sparks work with these two. It’s kind of a slow fizzle. There’s more going on behind the scenes. Carter doesn’t want people hurt but he does want things fixed. This author writes in a way that connects you with the writing. You feel like Cater and Sunny are your friends. The characters are terrific. Duke is my favorite. A spunky old veteran. Every romance needs a grandpa like that to create havoc. LOL. A great story. I can’t wait to read what Miller brings.View all my reviews

Smooth Hoperator (Love on Tap Book 2) by Sylvie Stewart
Genre – Contemporary Romance
Page Count – 350
After tanking my career in politics, I’m looking for new direction. But my GPS must be broken because it keeps leading me to a kooky librarian’s front steps.
It’s not easy, but I’m doing my best to let go of my old ambitions and embrace the simple life of slinging beer at my family’s brewery. But some powerful players from my past are determined to cause problems for my family and me.
When a chatty local librarian with the wardrobe of a third grader and the optimism of a Disney character begins sticking her nose into my business, I want to tell her to get lost. As fate would have it, though, Sunny and her equally-odd grandfather are my only remaining option to get free of my past for good.
It will take some convincing to get this goofy, goat-loving librarian on board with my risky plan. But if she’ll do things my way, I’ll return the favor by playing her fake boyfriend to make her true love jealous and finally take notice.
But the deeper we get into this venture, the more I realize there’s nothing fake about Sunny at all. Including the way I’m beginning to feel about her.
Smooth Hoperator is book 2 in the Love on Tap series that follows the Brooks family and their adventures in love and brewing beer in Asheville, North Carolina. Each book can be enjoyed as a standalone romantic comedy with an HEA and no cheating.

This was a great 5 star read. I continue to be pulled into this series, the author does a great job with her writing. I was excited to get the rest of Skylar and Damon’s story. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I had a love-hate relationship with some of them. We get so much in this book, it felt like there was more than one story going on. I will warn there is some content that may be triggers for some. The darker the better for me. My emotions were all over the place, we get several twists and turns. I can’t wait to read more from this series and author. If you like dark bully reads this is the series for you. 1-click and get started today.

I absolutely LOVED this story. It is the sweetest small town romance. I love the town and the description of each of the residents. Especially the small town busybody who really kept me laughing throughout the story. She is such a small part but the parts that she was brought up really just made me laugh. I loved Annie as a character and watching her develop was absolutely amazing, her relationship with her siblings really was something that I loved. I loved how Mitch is with his sisters as well. Watching her overcome the trauma she has from her ex was really a character arc that was so relatable. Craig is an amazing character who had the most development and growth throughout the story. I absolutely loved their development as a couple. I highly recommend this book and this series. The author creates a wonderful small town world that makes me consider moving to Montana to find this small town life.

This was a great book. I highly recommend reading the other books in the series before this one because they all flow together.

This book focuses on the stories of Skylar and Damon. Skylar and Damon have a lot of history together and not all of it has always been pleasant. Damon is a stubborn guy and with his family connections and being one of the top guys at school makes life easier yet harder for him at the same time. He also is used to getting what he wants when he wants it.

Skylar is a girl who has one close friend that has been around most of her life. She would do anything for her friend and her friend’s happiness. Even if that means sacrificing her own happiness. She is not an open book and holds a lot of secrets that are slowly going to come to light.

What will happen when Damon is told he can’t have what he wants? What happens when the secrets of the past come up to haunt Skylar? Can Skylar make her friend happy and get what she wants as well? Do opposites really attract?

Rock star, Single dad, hard working, hot as all, this is the perfect man for this story. There is instant attraction between Maria and Oz. This is the 2nd book in the series but the first I have read and I was not lost or confused in any way. I am sure there is overlap in the characters but that is ok.
I really enjoyed the pace and character development throughout. Watching Maria step up and take over certain aspects was refreshing.

Isla Vaughn does it again with Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite #4), I could not wait to get my hands on this book, and let me tell you it was so worth the wait!!! I loved continuing the story of Damon and Skylar’s romance. These characters are so well written, you just feel like you’re right there watching everything unfold, hoping that everything works out. The setting has stayed the same throughout every single book in this series, it’s amazing how much I feel like I’m a part of the story. There are so many surprises and twists that I did not see coming, that I was on the edge of my seat most of the time, cheering on Damon and hoping that for once he could get and keep the girl. You do not want to miss this exciting story in this series, it just keeps progressing, bringing back all of the old characters that we know and love from the entire series. I cannot wait to start reading the next book in the series, it’s so hard waiting, this series is one of my favorites! It is a must-read for anyone who loves a good high school romance with lots of high-flying emotions and of course the mean girls.
