My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reality tv in book form! This book is book two of the series and can be read as a standalone.
The two people in our story are Abi and Finn. Abi is struggling making ends meet and finding a man. She finds an ad for a reality tv show and throws caution to the wind. Finn is a well known actor who needs to clean up his image. He decides the tv show might be exactly what his reputation needs. When they meet they find they are a match. This is a well written read and I really enjoyed this book.

I love a great short read. This had my attention from the very start! James has a secret, an arrangement. Jasmine thinks he’s full of crap. What she doesn’t know is that James will be someone she never thought he was capable of. This book has drama and betrayal but it also has romance and forgiveness. The characters are loveable but there’s characters that will irritate your soul. All characters can’t be great right? That’s what makes an amazing story! This book had me feeling all kinds of emotions while reading…love, laughter, anger, frustration. I felt it all. And that’s what I look for in a book..I want to feel it all! I highly recommend this!

Falling Home is a Hallmark Movie worthy story. Definitely a quick read. I love that it’s set during the holidays. Christmas & Love just go together.
I’m a big believer in 2nd chances (if deserved). I really liked the lost love and finding it again aspect of the story. Ginny & Max are very lovable characters.
Falling Home was the 1st title I’ve read from this author and I can’t wait to check the other books in this series and whatever else she has to offer.

I absolutely love when books branch out from such a singular, heteronormative style. It’s fantastic to read books that are inclusive. My only complaint with this book was that it was too short!! I’d love to revisit the romances; this would be a great book to create a series! It was a quick entertaining foray into a romance oft not found in novels. Loved it.

Falling Home by Libby Kay is a heart-warming, second-chance love story. It follows small-town high-school sweethearts Ginny and Max years after their divorce and Ginnys subsequent move to the big city. Going home to help her Father through surgery, Ginny isn’t exactly excited about being home or the holidays but she’s less excited to run into her ex-husband Max. However, life isn’t predictable and neither is the heart – putting both Max and Ginny into real, relatable situations. I liked the characters and the story left me intrigued to read the next book in the series.

As a bonus, you have an Irish hero who is also a celebrity so you get that peek into the personal life of a famous star! I will be definitely be looking out for the other books in this series! Highly recommended!

I love second chance romance stories and this one was right up my alley! I really enjoyed the author’s easy writing style. The story reads from Ginny and Max’s point of view. He is a patient loving guy and wants nothing but happiness for Ginny. She just want to chase her dreams. When she has to come back home to help her father she starts to question what her dreams really are. Would walking away from her life in the city really make her happy or resent Max forever? This story is such a sweet read and you really will fall in with Buckeye Falls. I am looking forward to reading more from this author and more about this small town!

I loved this book! A light and feel-good story. Ginny returns to her small home town of Buckeye Falls, OH, after living in New York City for 2 years. Even though she came home to take care of her father who was having hip surgery, Ginny agrees to work with her ex-husband, Max, to plan the town’s holiday Jubilee. The characters in this story feel genuine to me – they go to work, they need hip replacements, they grocery shop – all things that make them more relatable. I enjoyed the characters’ interactions with one another. Just as the characters feel genuine, so do their interactions. I couldn’t wait to keep reading until the end!

This was definitely a cozy book to read during the Christmas season. A lot of people use this time to learn how to love again and get back in the Christmas spirit. Max still lives in Buckeye Falls, Ohio, and misses his Ex-Wife, Ginny. She comes back to visit her Dad after he had surgery. This became Max’s moment to get her back. He tries to win her over with Quesadillas and Christmas spirit. Ginny wanted nothing to do with Christmas, but was ringed into helping the town this year, and with Max. It was definitely a cute romance! 🙂

Falling Home: A Buckeye Falls Novel by Libby Kay

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author is one of my favorites this year. Falling Home had me hooked and it was very hard to put down. Falling Home is the first book in A Buckeye Falls Series. It is definitely worth a read.

Ginny hasn’t been home since she divorced her ex husband. When her dad is due to have surgery she goes back to her hometown to take care of him. She doesn’t plan on seeing her ex while she’s in town, but it’s a small town. What will happen when she finds the attraction is still there? The quote I chose for Ginny is: “You are all I’ve ever wanted, Max. I am sorry it took me this long to realize that.”

Max has been in the same town for the last two years. He stayed when he wanted to run. His father in law was part of the reason while the other was the diner. He hears his ex is back in town and wants nothing more than to see her. Can he get her back or will he be heartbroken again? The quote I chose for Max is: “I think you’re going to leave again. I think you’re not coming back from New York this time; at least not in a capacity to see me. I think I’m tired of always being the one left behind, so excuse me if I don’t want to prolong the inevitable. It is brutal being taken for granted like this.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

The HusbandsThe Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Husbands is an exciting and unconventional romance. I have enjoyed other books by the author – predominantly fantasy – so it was interesting to read her work in a different genre.
I particularly enjoyed that it’s very much a bisexual romance. Dorian and Augustine falling for each other doesn’t negate their feelings for their wives. I also enjoyed how much the story is driven by Magnolia and Aubrielle’s friendship!
Dorian and Augustine’s complicated history, as well as the secrets they are keeping from each other, add layers of interest to the story. Can they find a way to make things work, or would they have been better off never seeing each other again as they’d originally planned?
This is a great read, it gets five stars from me! If you’ve enjoyed other books by this author do give it a try – I enjoy the diverse queer relationships in her books and this story gives you that! And I’d recommend it to fans of LGBT+ romance.

Married Blind (Kings of Screen, #2)Married Blind by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an enjoyable and entertaining contemporary romance novel, which kept me captivated from page one. Although part of a series it can be read as a standalone story. The marriage-of-convenience Hollywood romance theme intrigued me from the start and the storyline had me hooked. Both Abi and Finn enter the reality TV show, ‘Married Blind’, for very different reasons, but they both agree that the first time they meet they will get married, and stay married for three months. For Abi it means taking a break from her regularly scheduled life in which she’s working three jobs, and in which she has no time or the opportunity to meet ‘Mr Right’.
Meanwhile Finn’s reason is simple as his agent signs him up in order to rehab his image and salvage his career after his latest sexcapade. For Finn the role of a 24-hour loving husband on a reality TV show will be the hardest part he has to play. Abi definitely did not expect a reality TV husband to be ‘The One’, and Finn never thought that he would have the perfect woman chosen for him. But the problem with reality TV is that it’s difficult to know, what is for the show and what is for real. I loved Abi and Finn as they are both likeable and relatable in their own ways. Their chemistry really comes across in the narrative, and I was cheering them on hoping they would both get their HEA.

First, I must say I love this author! Everything I’ve read from them I’ve enjoyed. Although this wasn’t the usual genre that they write, I decided to give it a read just because of who wrote it. I was not disappointed.

The book starts off 3 years in the past. Dorian is in Hawaii for a job. When the job goes wrong, he ends up accidentally hurting Augustine. Feeling guilty, he keeps close by to make sure Augustine is fine. As time goes on, they start to develop feelings. Both men are happily married to their wives and realize that they should go their separate ways before a line is crossed.

Three years later, Augustine and his wife moved to a new town. Little did they know that Dorian also lived in this town. Augustine and Dorian’s wives meet and become fast friends causing the two men to enter back into each other’s lives.

As much as they try to avoid each other, old feelings start to creep back in. The men try to be friends for the sake of their wives.

This was a cute little romance book with a HEA. Even though it is a short read, it is still so emotionally detailed that it sucks you right in. Totally recommend reading this and anything else this author wrote.

This book was an ok read for me. I had a really difficult time connecting with it because the relationships in the story made me anxious. I also had a difficult time connecting to the plot because of how I felt about the characters. I would read others by the author because I did enjoy the writing style.

Super quick contemporary romance read!

Augustine and Dorian are both married to wonderful women. When Dorian accidentally injured Augustine on assignment his guilt leads him to be in Augustine’s life where immediate attraction happens.

The premise of this story had sooo much potential for me. It just felt a tad rushed with some lacking detail to the emotions to pull you into the story.

This wasn’t my cup of tea but I do recommend it if this is your type of read

Jasmine thought she had it all, a successful business with her best friend, a boyfriend that could be more, and a decent life. That was until she was kissed by a tall, dark stranger in her best friend’s kitchen. The stranger turned out to be her best friend’s finance. Despite her requests, the stranger now known as James, continues to flirt with Jasmine. James and Jasmine continue to grow closer while Jasmine plans James’ wedding to her best friend. Then Jasmine finds out the truth behind their sudden engagement and wedding. Even worse, Jasmine finds that her best friend has betrayed her in more than one way.
As Jasmine’s life is imploding, the only person that seems to support her is the one person she can’t have, James.

This sweet romance has all the feels. It is a realistic storyline with a best friend that might have been more of a frenemy all along and the boyfriend using Jasmine for her connections. It was a delightful, quick read. Sometimes a short, sweet romance is great between all the longer, darker stuff I read!

This book was not exactly what I expected. I found the premise very interesting. I loved Dorian’s job and how accepting his wife was. It is great to see that kind of support from a partner. I also thought that Augustine thought to seek counseling and asked his wife to go with him was important. This view of family is important and should be represented in popular media. I hope to read more from this author soon.

3 Stars

 

My Pearl Heart by J.N. Sheats is a short novella length contemporary romance with plenty of angst, drama, emotion, and chemistry.
This follows Jasmine Hayes, a successful event planner, who we meet as she experiences the best kiss of her life. Passionate. Sizzling. Toe-curling perfection. And the man who bestows the kiss on her seems pretty perfect too. So, imagine her surprise and confusion when he then proceeds to announce his engagement to her best friend and business partner. Awkward much…. But things take an even more uncomfortable turn when Jasmine is tasked with planning their engagement party, AND wedding. But things may not be as they seem, and we get a front row seat to all the developments. Will Jasmine get the HEA she deserves? No spoilers from me…. You’ll have to read the story for yourself to discover what happens.
I really wanted to love this story much more than I did, as I have loved the other books of Ms. Sheats that I have read before. It should have ticked all the boxes for me, but I just couldn’t connect with the characters, or their story. I spent much of the story completely frustrated with the characters and wanted to shake them so so much. I really felt for Jasmine and what happened, and even after the revelation, I couldn’t seem to push past my initial impression. When I read a great book, I love to invest in the characters and the outcome of their stories- but that failed to happen for me here. But, having loved Ms. Sheats other books, I have decided to revisit this one again in a few weeks to see if I still feel the same way- or to see if perhaps I was just having an “off” reading day when I read this. Stay tuned…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, J.N. Sheats!

Abi is working three jobs and has no time for a life let alone a social life, so when her best friend and sister try to sell her the idea of a reality TV show she is hesitant at best. Is this the only way she is going to meet anyone in her current life and will he become Mr Right.

Finn has yet again caused his agent worries regarding his latest episode, so they strong arm him into reinvesting his image and going on the new reality TV show, all he has to do is playing the doting husband for three months and that’s it all done, can he really do this.

This is the first time I have read anything from this author and I really enjoyed this light hearted story. The characters Finn and Abi were so suited to each other, and the chemistry jumped off the page the minute they were together. Although at the beginning Finn had his doubts and was very offish with her they still developed a comfortable dialogue and interaction.

The story was unique and a page turner and I could not get enough of the story, the story flowed beautifully and really opened up these beautiful characters to make us invested in the relationship and willing them on in the end. I can’t wait to read more books by this wonderful author.

While completing an assignment, Dorian accidentally injuries another person. Wanting to ensure that the other person is okay, he disguised himself as a physical therapist to check on the man named Augustine. From the first meeting, Dorian has an attraction to the other man but tries to ignore the feeling mostly because he is married and tells himself that is it because he misses his wife.

The more time they spend together, the growing their feelings become.

The title and premise is what caught my attention. I don’t read a lot of M x M stories because to me, it can be difficult to find good ones. This story was short but it had an emotional impact on me. In a way I feel it was beautifully written and I was curious on how the story would play out. On how Augustine would react if he ever found out the truth about Dorian and how they met.

I really enjoyed reading this story.

Falling Home: A Buckeye Falls Novel

I think I may have fallen in love with Buckeye Falls while reading this book. The idea of cold does nothing for me but thus is definitely a town I could see myself spending summer months in and maybe a quick trip at Christmas for the Jubilee.

Growing up in a large metro area I have never understood the appeal of the hustle and bustle and I still don’t get it. There is something refreshing about a small town and Buckeye Falls definitely falls into that category.

This was a great second chance romance, Max and Ginny are so good together even when they aren’t necessarily together and oh my even if Harold is closer to may age, how adorable is he? Oh and Mona too.

This is the second book I have had the pleasure to read by this author recently, and I’m definitely becoming a fan.

Falling Home is one of the cutest books I have read in a while (and I love that it is a clean romance). It is the first book in the Buckeye Falls series, and I am so excited to see there will be a 2nd book. At the end of the book, I was hoping CeCe would get her own story, and then there it was- a sneak peak at the 2nd book. This book is an adorable story with a happily ever after. It takes place in a small town in Ohio, and gives a second chance at love for main characters Max and Ginny. I loved that the story had lingering feelings and confusion for both characters, so it was not one sided. Max is a total sweetheart and anyone could fall in love with him. Ginny is a woman determined to not follow in her mother’s footsteps, to the point that she may find herself there anyway. The supporting characters are wonderful, and I would love for Harold to get his own story as well. Highly recommend and look forward to book two.

This was a great 5 star read. I really liked both of these characters although Finn frustrated me at times with his stubbornness. Abi is in a bind trying to help her sister, when an opportunity comes her way. She decides to do a reality show where she ends up marrying Finn. Finn is not happy about the situation and tries to keep Abi at arms length. However, she is testing him at every turn. I loved her feistiness and that she would challenge him. He definitely needed it. And I loved his friends, they added a great element to the story. The term of endearment that Finn used was so sweet. Will Abi get through Finns tough walls and get a HEA? Will she be able to help her sister? The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. All the characters were so loveable. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

What would you do for your family? Perhaps marry a stranger for 90 days? That’s what Abi does so that she can have some sort of reprieve from all the debt that has accumulated. She is working three jobs to pay the medical debt from her sisters hospital stay and is treading water. Finn is looking at being relegated to the D-list in Hollywood due his latest scandal. His agent has the great idea of having him due a reality TV show which he isn’t happy about. 90 days is nothing when it could mean the end of his career. They both have their own reasons for doing the show but could they get a happily ever after out of it?
