When We Fall Again by Julie Archer is a very angsty and emotional rockstar romance with second chances, chemistry, baggage, issues, drama, and much more. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Archer, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into this story. But, let me tell you, she certainly has a knack for building angsty tension, as well as injecting plenty of emotion into her writing. Jordan and Lex have a complicated history between them, and now these two exes are thrown together again on a band tour. He’s the magnetic frontman for the band, and she’s the tour manager. But with their complicated past, self-destructive demons, and sizzling chemistry- these two have quite the journey ahead of them. What happens makes for a captivating read that strummed my emotions along the way. Looking forward to more from Ms. Archer. Happy Reading…

This book was interesting! Friends turned lovers is always a go to for me and this book was a good pallette cleanser between the darker books I’ve been reading recently. It was a little slow in parts but Mitch & Mia had an interesting story that I didn’t want to put down and liked this authors writing style. I am looking forward to more by this author in the future! Happy Reading!
When We Fell Again is a second chance rockstar romance tale by Julie Archer. I have not read anything by Julie before and was intrigued to see what she brings to the table. It is a well written angsty story where the characters are well-developed and definitely full of flaws. It is a short tale of drugs sex and rock n roll undeniable chemistry. There is lots of drama, misunderstandings, jealousy and insecurities, tension and chemistry. When We Fell Again is a good story with lots of ups and downs. There is a motley crew (pardon the pun) of supporting characters who make things very interesting. Julie takes us on a journey of rocky love and into the not so glamorous world of music and the pitfalls that many find in that area. At times I wanted to knock some people in the head and others I wanted to give a big hug to. Jordan could once again have it all. Everything he has ever wanted but his past returns to threaten it all to lead to a dark path. Alexis has been offered a gig of a lifetime but that means seeing him again. Will she be able to save him this time or will his past be too much once again? When it comes to love the heart wants what the heart wants.

This book was fantastic. I highly recommend it. Bridget is on vacation and wonder me over into the secluded part of the beach. That is where she meets Fyn. She doesn’t know that he is actually a prince. Fyn is pulled in different directions, when it comes to Bridget and his family. Will their love be able to handle all the pressure?

This was a quick read for me. This book was ok for me. It moved a little slow for me and I was hoping for more action. I didn’t connect with the characters especially Mia who I found a little bothersome. Overall, the plot tied up nicely but the flow was a little stuck for me. I would read others by this author as I did enjoy the book overall.

This is the second book in The Hawke Family Second Generation. I loved the first book in this series. I was so excited for this book though because we get to learn more about the elusive Jude. This story had me hooked from the start. This is not just a romance, it is the story of family, friendship, and love. It is overcoming your past and the obstacles thrown in your way. The characters in this story seem to take on a life of their own.

When We Fell Again is an angsty, second chance, contemporary romance that centers around the characters of Jordan and Alexis. Jordan is lead singer with the band Idol Rev. His band is due to go on a comeback tour but after an alcohol induced moment of stupidity Jordan has dislocated his shoulder. He insists that he is still able to tour if he has super strength painkillers to take the edge off his pain. Alexis is a tour manager that usually manages smaller tours. When she is asked to fill in for Idol Rev’s regular tour manager, she is reluctant because it means that she will be on tour with her ex, Jordan.
Jordan and Alexis were together while in university and when he was an up-and-coming rock star. It was being his girlfriend that gave her the love of live music and led her into a career in tour management. Her new career was also what broke Jordan and Alexis up when she started to spend long periods of time away from home. Jordan became jealous, accused her of horrible things, and it inevitably caused the two to break up. Naturally, Alexis is not keen on seeing Jordan again but when she does old feelings begin to stir and she cannot deny her attraction to him. Jordan has managed to avoid Alexis for five years and is not keen on seeing her again but feels that he can maintain a professional attitude. That is, until he sees Alexis and old feelings come to the surface. His attraction to her is undeniable and he vows to change his ways and be a better man so he can win her back. Can old hurt and bitterness be put aside so that Jordan and Alexis can have a chance at a future together? Will Jordan settle back into his old ways of anger and jealousy?
This was a well written story with an intriguing storyline. It was interesting to read and see how Jordan and Alexis would handle being on tour together. Their attraction to one another was undeniable but would it be enough. I had to keep reading to see if Jordan really could change his ways and be the man that Alexis deserved. It was interesting to see how Alexis would handle the situation and if she could forgive Jordan and accept that he truly wanted to change. Would Jordan break her heart again? This book was an angsty, passion-filled, second chance romance that took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

I enjoyed reading this second chance romance story. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed their writing style as well as their attention to details that made the story pop. The characters not only pull you into their world but also keep my attention to the end. I had no problems picturing myself in their world. They are connectable and made the story easy to read. They have great growth as well as chemistry which just added to the story. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story that you don’t want to miss. A great rockstar romance story that I highly recommend.

This book combines romance and suspense. It follows the story of a young woman who gets caught up in a dangerous world of Russian mafia and royal intrigue. The book explores themes of love, loyalty, and the complexities of navigating dangerous relationships. Lev and Daphne are essentially enemies to lovers – and honestly, those are the best stories! These two are total opposites. You know what they say about opposites attract!

Holy mackerel! This story is an emotional rollercoaster that I will ride over and over. Jordan and Lex’s story is a rough one. They both have some baggage to deal with. This is a story with drama, definite angst, overcoming addiction and relationship issues. Those are hard issues to deal with but the author did a wonderful job of making a realistic story of how a pair battles these issues. This is a story that really touches the heart and home. The characters are easy to relate to. A definite must read.

Bridget is on her honeymoon but without the groom, finding that her fiancée was having an affair with his secretary will somewhat put a blip in the plans. So arming herself with her best friend and deciding not to waste the trip she finds herself in Lovolia. When Daphne starts pushing her to forget the idiot she was going to marry and have a holiday fling, but when Daphne comments get too close for comfort off storms Bridget with a bottle of tequila.
While wondering Bridget finds herself on a small beach with no crowds accept a lone man surfing in the sea, when all of a sudden she is starring at the most handsome man she has seen in ages and when he approaches her demanding she leaves the private beach something happens between them that makes it impossible to move. Until advances are made and tequila regrets maybe on the cards.
Fyn has pressures most people could not conceive, the next in the line for King all he wants is to live his life the way he wants to live it, but when the King and Queen are pressuring him to marry Princess Abigail who he does not even like it all becomes too much. Fyn does what he loves to unwind and goes surfing at the private beach until he is rudely interrupted by a trespasser. As Fyn gets to know her better the chemistry between the two of them is off the charts but just as he has found her she vanishes and he is lost.
Over the year of searching for her she shows up back in his life and he is not letting her escape again, but with the unrest in his country can he keep hold of the woman he loves and help save the country he loves from the rebels out to destroy the monarchy?
I have read a lot of Gwyn’s books and they all offer strong female leads and this one does not disappoint, although at the beginning Bridget is lost and seems grown down by the end of the story she is determined to fight for her man even if it upsets the Queen/Fyn’s mother. Fyn’s character has different dimensions and with his strong relationship to his best friend Lev shows another layer to this complicated character.
The story flows and is well written, with twists and turns throughout the story will have you engaged until the end. As this is the first book in the series it sets up the world of Lovolia brilliantly and has you wanting to visit to see the various sites that is described within the pages.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series regarding Lev and Daphne as this seems a fiery relationship in this book.

What a read! This book is a romantic comedy but it’s got its fair share of twists.
What to say about this book. I don’t even want to say too much because this is just a book you have to experience. It’s got relatable characters, humor, and twists you don’t expect. I couldn’t put it down. I HAD to find out how everything was going to play out. I highly recommend giving this book a read!
Bowie and Jagger were sensational together… until jealousy and insecurities tore them apart.
Jordan
Having my ex on our comeback tour was the last thing I expected to happen. She’d always been a kick-ass tour manager, and now she’s even hotter than I remember.
How am I supposed to resist?
Winning Lex back won’t be easy, and I’ll have to compromise on my past behaviours to make it work this time – because she’s worth it.
That is, until someone connected to my past decides to play hell with my life, leading me on a path of self-destruction. Now I stand to lose what’s most important to me. My future with the band. My relationship with Lex. Everything.
Alexis
Being offered the gig as tour manager for my ex’s band raised doubts. He’s always been the charismatic frontman, and now he’s as hot as I remember.
How am I supposed to resist?
I’ve told myself I couldn’t fall for Jordan again. Who was I kidding? He seems different now, and those old feelings are hard to ignore. Our explosive chemistry is still there, and what we have is worth fighting for.
When his past demons raise their heads, we could be in trouble.
He’s shattered my heart once, and I won’t let him do it again.
When We Fell Again is a standalone angsty, second chance rockstar romance.
Author of contemporary romance featuring rock stars, small towns, a healthy dose of angst, some steamy times and always a happy ever after!
When not writing, I can usually be found binge watching teen drama series on Netflix or supporting Spurs (the English Premier League football team) from my armchair, and running around after my two feline children, Corey and Elsa.

If Hallmark made raunchy movies, this would be it. Small town girls meets her Prince after a horrible breakup while she goes on her pre-purchased honeymoon. Sprinkle in civil unrest and an evil princess, you have the classic romance novel. I wish we got a little more backstory with each character. Even though they felt an instant connection, I didn’t feel that with our two main characters. I did however, feel the instance hated if Fyn’s parents and abigail towards Bridgette. The descriptions of their encounters were spot on. Ultimately, this This was a quick entertaining read that you will not want to put down.

Royally Complicated: (A Stand-alone Royal Forbidden Romance) (The Crowned Hearts Series Book 1)
So very thankful for long weekends, if today had been a work day I might have called in sick so I could finish devouring this book. I was hooked from the very beginning and only put it down long enough to make supper and eat.
Ms. McNamee and Ms. Anderson’s writing styles blend perfectly in this book. I have read several of their books individually and one other collaboration and have not been disappointed one.
I love trying to figure out what’s going to happen next but they were able to surprise me a few times.
Fyn and Bridget work so well together and even with all that they have to deal with, they find their way.
I already have the next book loaded on my Kindle to read and I can’t wait.

This was an amazing read. The development of the plot and the characters was wonderful. Gwyn does an amazing job of keeping the reader engaged.
This book follows the stories of Bridgets and Fyn. Bridget just wanted to get away from the reality of what happened back home with her ex. her best friend talks her into going on a girls’ trip to help her forget him and move on.
Fyn is tired of his parents meddling in his life and telling him what he can and cannot do all of the time. He just wanted a few hours of solace alone in his favorite place on the island. His own beach where he can enjoy a stress-free ride on the waves.
When Bridget gets fed up with her friend she wanders off with an old friend, a bottle of tequila. She finds her way to a beach that seems to be empty. When she notices a handsome man off in the distance riding the waves. Once he finally, emerges she is entranced by his features. One thing leads to another and they are getting very close and personal. Unfortunately, their intimate moment gets interrupted by the royal guard.
What happens when a commoner sleeps with the crowned prince? Can they be together or is this just a fling? Will the royal family approve of a woman with no noble blood? What happens when two souls are ripped apart?
Read this book to find out what happens with Fyn and Bridget. I also suggest some water because the steam in this book is sure to heat your blood.

I have followed this author through many stories and am pleased to find that this book is just as wonderful as the others I have read! Bridget is going through it right now. Her fiancé cheated, and now she’s on “their” honeymoon because who wouldn’t want to get away after an earth-shattering revelation like that? She finds a surfer, Fyn, who turns out to be a prince. Could this turn into a real-life fairytale, or is this just a simple rebound? I really enjoyed the flow of this story as I was sucked into this reality before I realized it. I sat down to read a couple chapters and looked up to find it was hours later! This has romance, drama, steamy scenes, and plenty of other emotions, so go ahead and pick it up to get lost for the day.

This authors series is amazing! When I read the first book I was completely hooked, and I couldn’t stop reading it! When I saw that there was a second book, I could not contain my excitement when I got this second book to read. I loved everything about this book and couldn’t stop thinking about it while I was working. When reading this book, I felt as though I was in the story with them and not just reading. I cannot wait to read more books in this series and more by this author!

Bridget turns her non-refundable honeymoon into a girl’s trip with her best friend when she catches her fiancé cheating and calls off the wedding. Fueled by tequila, she has a romp on the sand with a stranger…only to find out that stranger is actually the Prince when the royal guard comes looking for him. Fast forward a year and the two are brought together again, determined to make a go at something permanent. However, Fyn has a country in turmoil, an over-bearing mother determined to marry him off to a royal, and the princess of a neighboring country who is determined to be the one to wear the crown. Can these two overcome the obstacles stand in their way? Or will Bridget and Fyn be a fairytale without a happy ending?
I really enjoyed these characters. There were moments that were hot and steamy, some that were tense and catty, and some that were just romantic as can be. It’s a modern telling of a fairytale where the prince and American commoner fall in love and are determined to make it work! I loved it!

Love & Stilettos by Evelyn Lindell is available now in eBook and Physical Book ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review
Love & Stilettos was full of secret identities, manipulation, and deceitful motives. I loved every moment of this novel from beginning to end. The characters were lovable and relatable in so many ways. Granny stole my heart and I loved how determined Mitch was. With humor intertwined throughout, there were plenty of literal laugh out loud moments. I loved that this romance novel had a villain who didn’t get away with their actions. About half way through the novel I had suspicions of who the villain was but it didn’t ruin any moment of the story for me. There were plenty more twists to come following my suspicions. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys reading romance with a hint of humor and a lot of suspense. You won’t regret this one! I can’t wait to see if there is more to come for these wonderful characters.

After she caughter her fiance cheating, Bridget needed to get away and try to find herself again. After hearing some harsh truth from her bestie she takes off with a bottle of tequila and finds herself on a beach that is deserted and turns out to be private property. Her life is about to be turned upside down. Fynix, or as Bridget comes to know him at first, Fyn, is the crown prince of Lovolia. Upon their initial meeting he doesn’t tell her that as he figured she already knew that particular detail. Imagine his surprise when he realizes that she has absolutely no idea. He didn’t intend to lie, but in the heat of the moment he didn’t exactly get around to telling the truth. Once the royal guard showed up on behalf of his mother all bets were off and Bridget felt betrayed all over again. Now a year has passed and Bridget is back to say her good-bye to Fyn and move on with her life. Fyn on the other hand is showing up in hopes that he sees her again and this time he doesn’t intend to let her walk away. This is the true beginning of their forever. Royally Complicated was a quick and easy read. The characters were enjoyable as well. I liked the no nonsense approach that the best friend Daphne took with Bridget. We all need a friend like that in our lives. This is definitely a book that should be added to your collection. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This was a really fast paced steamy romance between a Prince and a normal girl. This is the story of Fyn and Bridget. The chemistry between Fyn and Bridget is off the charts and even though Fyn is a Prince that isn’t known by Bridget when they first meet. Fyn doesn’t have an easy life. As Prince of Lovolia his family is expecting him to marry someone to enhance their status and produce an heir. Fyn however has other ideas. He doesn’t want to marry someone just because of their status or what they can bring to the kingdom. When he meets Bridget he was expecting to meet her once and never again but when their paths cross and Bridget learns the truth of who he is then he has to fight for the right to be with the person he wants. Bridget is on what should have been her honeymoon but after finding out her husband to be was cheating she took the holiday with her best friend. When she meets a handsome man on the beach she wasn’t expecting anything to come of it. She definately didn’t expect to find out that he is a Prince.
As their connection grows they realise that their feelings are more that just one night thing but there are plenty of problems standing in their way. Mainly the Queen and King. Will they allow their son to be with a normal girl?
This is a fast paced romance and I love how determined Fyn is to fight of the woman he loves and how he will go against all odds to be with her. I really enjoyed this story. After all who doesn’t want to find their Prince. Especially one as hot as Prince Fyn. Fyn and Bridget are so perfect together. Their connection is steamy and off the chart chemistry but they also perfectly fit together and are made for each other. Their journey to be together is far from an easy one and the pair have to fight for the right to be together no matter who or what is against them.

This book is amazing. It grabs you from the start and the steam between the characters is off the charts. You will find yourself feeling all the emotions that the characters. It is the tale of the commoner and the prince. Can they have their love or will it be ruined by everything standing in their way? However, that isn’t everything there is about this book. There is steam, intrigue, mystery, suspense, steam, love, vengeance, and of course steam. This was a very quick read for me and is the first in the series. I am excited to read the second book to see what happens. You won’t be able to stop reading this book once you start so please keep that in mind when you begin. You will be swept away with the charm of the prince and the meet cute the they have on the beach. How they fall for each other without any preconceived notions, just plain simple attraction; is what really drew me into the book. It is very well written that you can’t really tell which author wrote what part. It is like they were sharing the same brain while writing this. It makes the reading seamless and flows from one page to the next. Reviewed by: @bbohls

5 Star’s A Forever Kind of Thing by Carrie Thomas and Melinda Harris
A Forever Kind of Thing is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance/YA that once I started reading I couldn’t stop reading and read it in one long sitting. I’m new to these authors but im already a fan. Their style of writing and attention to detail made me feel like I was back in high school dealing with all the things that are high school. Their characters are relatable, fully developed and made the story come to life and made it fun to read. Mina and Wes have been best friends since fifth grade. Mina was the target of being bullied by many and didn’t feel like she belonged. But Wes saved her in more than one way that is until he up and left with no goodbye or nothing. Lots changed in five years and when Wes reappears senior year she finds herself struggling to keep up the appearance. I truly enjoyed reading this book and fell in love with both Wes and Mina. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from both these authors.

Snap, crackle, pop hot enough to start a fire! This book was so good from the very start! Bad boy rock star meets sweet but fiery girl-next-door, the heat between Blu and Ashleigh was everything and so much more. The characters were real and relatable, as well as many of the issues they faced, and I love to find that in a book!

I wasn’t even a full chapter in when I knew this book was going to be a struggle to put down. I was entirely invested in Mia’s life and if she was going to regain her friendship with Mitch and grieve Xavier. I couldn’t wait for Jeff to text her again and knew that Shelly or Granny would have great words of wisdom for her.
This book is so well written that it’s easy to sit down and binge chapter after chapter without realizing time going by around you. The twists and turns kept me so interested, I couldn’t help but continue reading.
This book is a great reminder that things aren’t always what they seem and you should be honest & brave instead of waiting for the “right time”.

Liz’s Road Trip by Bernadette Marie is an emotional yet hopeful little gem of a book!!!
The book opens on a pretty sad note. Liz Evans has just lost her beloved grandmother. As she is going through her things, she finds a letter that will completely change her life. Her Gran wants her to take her back to her home, in Florida. When she gets there, a mystery man, Mark, will tell her all about the Gran that she didn’t know. So, she embarks on a trip with Gran and Gran’s cat, Cosmo, that will possibly end up being an adventure that could finally lead her to a forever romance and a life filled with joy beyond her imagination!
At times, Liz was extremely frustrating for me. Her moods could swing from hot to cold, especially in her burgeoning relationship with Mark. I wanted to shake some sense into her, but as I sat back and digested more of her story, I began to understand her more and have sympathy for her. She just lost the woman who sacrificed so much to raise her after Liz’s mother died. In addition, she discovers that her grandmother had many secrets and had a life she knew nothing about. I imagine that Mark knowing those secrets impacted her relationship with him as well. It was all those complicated and complex emotions that made the book so good.
There were so many reasons I loved this book. I liked that Marie pulled on my heartstrings and had me really invested in the characters, especially Liz. Gran was not physically present in the book, but she played such a pivotal role in the plot and pacing of the book. She was still teaching Liz lessons after she was gone. My favorite thing about the book was the growth that Liz went through. She began the book as pretty self-centered, but by the end of the book, a lot of that self-centeredness was gone. Most importantly, she went from just living a good life to a life well-lived, and that is exactly what Gran wanted for her all along.
I haven’t read a book by Bernadette Smalls, but this one won’t be my last one. She is a very talented writer who knows exactly how to pull her readers smack dab in the middle of her story. If you like a sweet romance full of emotions, you should definitely give this one a try!!!!
