We Blend (Falling for the Rockstar’s Daughter Book 1) by Willa Drew – Review by Moriah Venable

WE Blend (Falling for the Rockstar's Daughter Series #1)WE Blend by Willa Drew
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I started this book. Rockstar’s daughter finds love? Sounds great.

El finds herself at a bar off campus, in disguise in order to sing.

Wil, also happens to be at the same bar. When his guitarist is found drunk a few minutes before the show, El steps in, finding herself to be at the right place at the right time.

The cover and premise caught my attention. It has been a long time since I read a friends to lovers novel but I was sucked in. The slow burn of their relationship was great. Sometimes slow burns annoy me because I just want them to get together but the fast pace of the novel helped the progression of the relationship.

With the ending, I am so excited for the next novel!

Defying Ella (True Platinum Series Book 4) by Morgana Bevan – Review by Megan Pesek

Defying EllaDefying Ella by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ella and Jared are the main characters in Defying Ella. The plot is full of tension, hatred, anxiety, and vulnerability. Nobody, especially Ella, wants to be snowed-in with their former lover turned current enemy when she’s supposed to be spending a few weeks with her girlfriends. Instead of a relaxing vacation, Ella is stuck with Jared, and they are constantly bickering, and getting in each other’s way. Eventually, they learn to enjoy one another’s company and maybe even understand each other. Will their newfound respect for one another last beyond rescuing? Only time will tell.
A classic enemy-to-lovers story! Defying Ella is part of a series, but this book can be read as a standalone. Be prepared to read this captivating story in no time at all because you won’t want to put it down.
Defying Ella gives the reader a realistic look at anxiety. As anxiety presents itself differently from one person to the next, it was refreshing to see something other than only panic attacks from the affected.

Where to even start with this book. Funny, sexy, ambitious. The amazing storyline and I could relate and loved all the dynamics. Annie, Robbie, Cat, Dalooney, Lachie, Tony, and Diaz. Quite the characters in a book. Cat and Robbie were my favorites. I can’t forget Manny either though, the IT guy. The BIG BASEBALL bat had I been drinking something it would have come spraying out of my mouth. Poor Robbie, the funniest part of the book. Santi’s story, while he wasn’t a main character I could relate working with teenage boys, and know some of the stories I have been told I can imagine cats pain. Annie I wanted to slap her so hard for her poor choice while under stress but at the same time while I’d never do it could understand why she did, we are only human. She bounced back though. Overall this is one of the best adult books I have read and the title describes it well. Very Well.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

WE Blend is a new adult contemporary rock star romance tale. I have heard of these two wonderful writers before but this is the first book I have read by them as one and I was not disappointed in any way shape or form. These clever ladies have given us a tale that is will make your heart flutter. There is drama and angst, secrets and risks along with slow burning romance.

I love that the story is told in my favourite form which is a duel POV because it gives us a deeper look at who the characters really are.

El and Wil take on the world of music but will their secrets and lies be too much?

If you have a passion for music and like a good story that is sweet, flirty, fun and heartfelt then look no further that something written by Willa Drew. I can’t wait to read more by this dynamic duo.

This book does end on a cliff hanger.

This book is the 4th Book in a 5 book series, but can be read as a stand-alone. I really enjoyed the idea of this story, and I just love Ella and that there was a snowstorm and they were stuck inside. . It started for me as a real page turner and then I found myself wishing there was more to the story in the middle. If your looking for a quick steamy read this one is for you.

Perfect story! I loved this book! Read it in 2 days because I was addicted! Ella and Jared have a bit of a past, but since then, they’ve never gotten along. Well, that’s an understatement. They’ve hated each other’s guts. But when they are forced together, they have to face their feelings and work it out. This book is hot, emotional, romantic, and just written so perfectly! Read this book! It will definitely be worth your time!

Breathless in Love Audiobook (The Maverick Billionaires Book 1) by Bella Andre & Jennifer Skully – Review by Kayla Octaviano

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this audiobook! The narrator was on point, really making me feel like I was in the story. Will is a rich man who doesn’t know what he is missing until he meets Harper. Harper is in the same boat, except she feels like she has much more to lose, because she has Jeremy. Jeremy is Harper’s younger brother who has a brain injury making her his caretaker. Will comes into their lives and turns them upside down. But is it a good thing, or bad? This book is not just your usual romance novel, it also has speed, cars, family, loss, and so much more. Listen to this book! It is the whole package!

I love falling back to my go to genre. Romance is my favorite genre and this was just what the doctor ordered. I like how the lead is complex. I love how the characters compliment one another and how the story is unfolded. I really like how it has a link to music. There is always a bit of the unseen when there is a bit of the character built on lies but it all works out in the end and that is what had me on the edge of my seat. I just couldn’t put this book down to see how it would unfold. I will definitely read more from this author in future.

El is a rock stars’s stepdaughter, so she understands the press and the spotlight. Her parents have never wanted that for her, but all she wants is to be her own artist and sing her own music. Nobody understands how music speaks to El, until she meets Wil. Wil comes from a poorer childhood, but happy nonetheless. He doesn’t feel like he’s missed out on anything living with his mom and grandfather. But when Wil’s mom gets sick, he understands he has to do anything to make sure she is taken care of. Meeting El was not an accident, but falling for her… Read this book and see how the story turns out. It holds love, friendship, trust, and betrayal, but can they find their way through it all? The story is stretched out perfectly, just the right amount of time between plot changes, and relationship changes. The author did an amazing job with this book and I look forward to reading more books of hers!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So sweet. I absolutely love the way that these two star crossed lovers have their own sets of pros and cons that seem to compliment the other, and give the other the ability to better themselves in all aspects of their lives. Though they may not have been honest from the start, there’s something to be said for feeling that instant connection. I have always felt as though others have a secret agenda, so following this connection, their dialogue, and the plot thicken as the pages were flipped, I enjoyed the back and forth immensely.

Family comes first, always, and it is made apparent within these pages that the author feels much the same and wants her characters to be portrayed as such as well. The character building, the angst that one would feel at their age, and the weight of the world comes through to the reader clearly, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Will and Melodie’s story. Will be back for more from her. Pure entertainment, well done!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As you might imagine, most of these rock star romance novels end with a very cute happily ever after. I’m not complaining, at all. Honestly, the way that different authors write, it intrigues me to no end, and this author was no different. Though the story follows two main characters, being Ella and Jared, you’re not torn in trying to decide who you’re more connected to. Rather, you feel for them both. Jared is this hardcore play boy that has a touch, yes, a touch, of anxiety and a myriad of other things going on, and what he wants more than nothing else is to be enough. Ella, oh Ella. She doesn’t know what she wants, but she knows she wants what she sees in her group of friends. In all ways.

Ultimately, this novel came at me, and I devoured it, very quickly. Especially with the colder weather coming up, the idea of being stuck in a cabin with a hot play boy for a quick little tryst sounds like just what the doctor ordered. I will be going back and reading more of this authors work, as she definitely has the writing skill bug, and I love it! Highly recommend.

Ella and Jared had a hot week together in their past. Once Jared cut and run, Ella was glad not to have to see him again – until fate intervened. Now they have been too close for comfort for MONTHS. Jared is a talented drummer, woos and runs on woman and woman, and loves to pick at Ella and make her miserable. After months on tour together, Ella cannot wait to have a relaxing time at a secluded cabin with all of her best girlfriends!

Seeking a refuge before their downtime together, Ella heads to the cabin early for a reprieve, thankful for her break from Jared…until he shows up at the door of the cabin and a monster snowstorm follows him there. After anticipating being away from him for so long, will they be able to manage without tearing each other apart?

After deciding on a truce, it leads to discussions about Jared and the facade he wears to survive, while Ella opens up about how he made her feel in the past and now. Their chemistry is crazy hot, and opening the door of the truce and the discussions makes Jared MUCH more likeable than he is earlier in the story. They rekindle their passion in the privacy of the cabin, but what happens when they aren’t secluded and snowed in, anymore?

This is book 4 in a series but was easily a standalone and now has me racing to read the first 3!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
Ava is nervous, she is going to ask her husband for a divorce and she’s not sure how he will react. Cole refuses to give her a divorce and actually has plans for her, and when he’s done then he will give her what she wants. Ava has never felt a part of his world, she isn’t into the glitz and glamor. Will she get what she want’s or will her heart decide something else?

Overall I really enjoyed this read and couple. My emotions were all over the place. It took me a bit to warm up to Cole because of his arrogance but he did grow on me. This was an emotional read in spots as the story moved forward. I read this in one sitting and I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

I hadn’t read anything by this author yet, but this first book in The Freemasons Series is a fantastic start! It hit me hard and pulled at my emotions throughout the story.

Ava decides that she wants a divorce because it’s time to move on. She hasn’t lived in the same house as Cole for six months and there’s no use in prolonging the inevitable. But when she presents her want for a divorce to him, he tells her no. Taken aback, she hears Cole out and agrees to his terms to work together for one last event. Spending so much time together brings many emotions to the surface for both of them. Will it bring them closer together or drive a wedge even further between them?

I have to say that the flow of this story is wonderful. I was drawn in from the beginning and constantly wondered will they or won’t they? Since reading this, I have been adding books by Nicole Flockton to my TBR list. I can’t wait to see what happens in the rest of the series!

The only thing Ava wants from her husband is a divorce. She really wasn’t expecting him to say no to the idea, but he did and now she’s confused.

Cole had waited six months for Ava to come back home and he isn’t ready to let her or their marriage go. In an attempt to keep her close, he hires her to plan a fundraiser and at the end says he will agree to a divorce.

Now working so closely, feelings are rising and they’re forced to face what drove Ava away and kept her there. Is it too late to save their marriage or are they doomed to divorce? Who will be the victor?

This was a fun, sweet and light read. I absolutely adored reading about Ava and Cole and feel connected to the other characters as well. I’m looking forward to reading more in this series and possibly looking into other works from this author.

If you like romance, strong independent characters, and the idea of falling apart in order to fall back together, this is a book for you!

The Victor: A Second Chance Romance (The Freemasons Book 1)

I have read several books by this author and enjoyed each and every one. When I discovered there was a older series I had to start reading it ASAP.

Cole and Ava start us off and they did not disappoint. They hit a rough patch in their marriage very early on and haven’t been together since. Though Cole has a plan to change that.

Ava went through a lot in a very short time. She is ready to move on to the next stage of her life is she can convince Cole that they need to divorce.

Some drama but not as much as I would have anticipated, but there are secrets that cannot be found out.

The Victor: A Second Chance Romance (The Freemasons #1) by Nicole Flockton

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep me coming back. So far I’ve read several books by the author and I really can’t choose my favorite. So far The Freemasons Series is good. The Victor is the first book in The Freemasons Series.

Cole is trying to move on with his life. He buried his father without his wife by his side. In fact, they haven’t been in the same house in six months. So when she wants a divorce he says on one condition. The quote I chose for Cole is: “I mean, the time to come and see me would’ve been when I needed to have my wife by my side. The day I buried my father.”

Ava is going to ask Cole for a divorce, but she isn’t expecting him to say no. She knows it’s time to move on, but what if she doesn’t really want to let go. It seems that might be the case with them. The quote I chose for Ava is: “What do you mean? I want a divorce, Cole. Don’t you think it would be best for the both of us if we ended our marriage?”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

I went into this book expecting it to be a simple second chance romance but actually got something so much more emotional that I thought it would be. I enjoyed the connection between the main characters. They had history that could have got between them and yet they found a way to make things work.
The author really did so well to create a story that was full of emotional connections, romance and amazing characters. As the start of a new series this book shows great signs of what is to come. This book is well written, engaging and was such a great book to read. I can’t wait to start on book two.

While this is my first book I have read by Willa Drew, I cannot wait to read more. I started this book thinking I could take my time reading it, and a couple hours later, I completed the book. This book was that good!
From the heartbreak to the love and romance, the paparazzi’s to the bodyguards. I couldn’t get enough! Let us not forget about the banter between Wil and El, that just kept me laughing hysterically.
Then for El to describe her love for music as her lifeline, I could not relate more. Each character was so relatable and I wish I could meet them in person and be friends!

Downside to this book? The fact that it ended on a cliffhanger and I am expected to wait a WHOLE YEAR. Love this book and I cannot wait to read more in the series!

This is a nice story of a man and a woman on the verge of divorce. The story revolves around them but leaves little tidbits of some bigger going on with the Freemasons. There is very little movement in the big secret of the Freemasons. Some action in that area would have been good to beef the story up a bit. The characters are good. This is a second chance romance between a married couple. They have good tension between them. I liked Cole as he was trying to do anything he could to keep Ava around.

This is the first book in the Freemasons series. It was a really good read. I loved how passionate Cole is about Ava and how Ava has grown in confidence and independence however this increase in confidence has also made her blind to what is in front of her.

This story was heartbreaking to read in parts. To see how a couple so in love could fall apart when tragic events hit and communication is lost. Instead of turning to each other in their time of need they pushed each other away until the gap between them seems so huge they will never be able to close it. Or so they thought.

When Ava turns up at a charity event to speak to her estranged husband Cole she had 1 goal in mind. She wants a divorce. After all Cole doesn’t want to be with her. He only married her out if a feeling if obligation so its going to be easy to get a divorce right?

Cole on the other hand has other ideas. Cole is devoted to Ava and has no plans on letting her go. He assumes the words he isnt saying is enough for her to realise how much he loves her. When Ava asks him for a divorce he is shocked and dead set against it. He needs to make her see and remember how good they were together so he comes up with a plan.

If Ava will work for him to plan this charity event for the Lodge he will grant her the divorce she so desperately wants.
And so his plan of action to win her back starts. Can this couple finally learn to open up and communicate? Can Ava see how much Cole loves her? And will Ava be able to resist her attraction and feelings for Cole when they are living and working together?

It is a very powerful story and one quite a few couple may go through and relationships end because of the same reasons that Cole and Ava has.

This book had me all in right from the beginning….and this author is one of my favorites. A second chance romance with loss, grief, love and definite hot tender moments.

Cole wants his wife back, Ava feels differently and wants a divorce. When Ava approaches Cole about a divorce so she can “move on”….Cole denies her request. Instead, Cole fights for what he wants and that he wants Ava back….and in order to try he proposes that Ava is to help and be project lead as his even planner for a big charity event. Working closely together and arranging to live together again, will Ava’s feeling about a divorce still hold true….as so much cooped up feelings of grief, guilt, loss and sadness have evaded them both?

This story was wonderful and flowed to easily as I turned each page. Cole and Ava stole my heart in this story…two beautifully broken people trying to find each other again and open up……..and I love them together.
