This story has all the feels! Right away I knew this was going to be a good one. Meeting the characters and getting their back story is done well. I feel like I know these two and only get to know them better as the story moves along. The attraction…yup I could feel that. The worry and concern…yup I could feel that. What about the heartbreak….yup that was the worst feeling. The love….yes that was the best!
I enjoyed each of these characters and the story took me for a ride. Just when I thought it was done. Nope it wasn’t. Her BIG gesture was wonderful! All of his weren’t too bad either. I felt myself smiling while reading about his Hula Girl and her Surfer Boy.

This was such a great book! Ava Ruiz is a perfectionist. She is an attorney who regularly works 16 hour days 6 days a week. She has worked hard to get where she is and constantly has to prove herself in a world where women are generally at a disadvantage. She makes one little mistake at work and is forced into a (much needed but not wanted) vacation. She is in Maui going stir crazy wanting to check on things at work and decides to drive into town to pick up a laptop. On the way a crazy stray chicken runs her off the road. That’s when she meets the hot as hell beach bum Ford. Ava forgets all about work and decides to take Ford up on his invitation to meet up later that day. And so the vacation fling begins!
What happens in Maui stays in Maui…until it doesn’t! While you will fall in love with Ava and Ford while they are in Maui, just wait until you get to the twists and turns that have them face to face again in the real world! This is an emotionally charged, super fun, super hot read that will make you jealous as can be! I definitely found a new book boyfriend in Ford! I recommend this 5-star read! It’s one you’ll want to read over and over again!

Natalie Hampton had it all. Movies, Magazines, and Hollywood. Until she lost it all, to gossip mixed with envy. Searching for friends was far and away. She needed someone on her side. When she had to leave behind everything, to find peace. She makes the best move she could think of. Can she find the peace she is looking for? Who will come to her rescue, and calm her sea of life.
Terri Lee has written this page turning story. A real look into the life of a star, behind what we see in magazines and movies. It may look like fun and fantasy. Do we really know what Natalie Hamptons really going through? This story is an eye opener, filled with tears. I love the characters in this book. Mostly the friends who stand behind Natalie. Well done Terri Lee! I want more though, looking forward to reading more from you.

Summer Break by Autumn Sand a super five-star read. This is a novella in the Joe Football series, it could be read as stand-alone but I would recommend you read Joe Football first, to get the most out of the story, or else you would want to go back and read it and you would have major spoilers. Favor, Favor, Favor what are we to do with you, you break my heart every time. (not just because she gets to snuggle up next to Brice at night) These characters will make you care about them even in such a short amount of pages, you would be sorry to miss this novella as it does a great job of bringing a great and complex story together in a short amount of pages and still making it hookable.

“My gorgeous stranger soon mounts his board and rides a glassine wave with ease, though. He navigates the rocky shoreline as if by instinct, dropping off the board before he gets too close to danger. I spend the next twenty minutes transfixed by his grace in the water, enjoying what appears to be his natural talent for surfing. But then he looks up and spots me. He’s straddling his board, in a lull between waves. I can see his grin even from this distance, and I’m mortified to have been caught watching him. He, however, seems amused as he raises a hand and flashes the hang loose sign. I finally turn away, wondering what I was doing staring at this surfer boy.”
Hula Girl by Lara Ward Cosio was such a fun book to read. I love the ‘Rogue’ series, but this is a little bit different, and I wasn’t sure I was going to like it as much as the previous books- but HOW WRONG I was. This has turned out to be my favourite read of hers, ever!!!! (well so far, anyway) It was a little slow to get going, for me- but not too far in the pace picked up and things started to get very interesting. I ended up staying up well past bedtime, just so I could finish the story and know how it all played out. I really needed to know if Surfer Boy gets his Hula Girl! The story is a sweet vacation fling with a bit of a twist- it is flirty, fun, and romantic- with just enough drama and angst to keep things interesting. The chemistry between Ava and Ford was enough to steam up the screen on my kindle- and made for some sizzling reading. It is set against the picturesque backdrop of Hawaii, as well as the taking us to the concrete jungle of LA. I loved Ford and Ava and I was rooting for them right from the moment they laid eyes on one- another. They really were so perfect for each other, even though them seemed such opposites to begin with. I loved their story- and Hula Girl will be hard to beat. So now I am looking forward to seeing what Ms. Ward Cosio comes up with next, just to see if she can top this! Happy Reading!

Summer Break by Autumn Sand is a Joe Football Novella. This book is a standalone novella. If you want more backstory on Brice and Favor, I suggest reading Joe Football first. You won’t miss anything if you don’t though.
Brice and Favor’s friend Egon is in New York City recording an album with his band. Favor decided that it would be a great idea for their whole group to spend the summer in New York City together and have some fun! What does the summer hold for Brice and Favor? What about the rest of the group? One things for sure, they will make some memories.
This was such a good book to read. It was a quick read but didn’t make you feel like it was missing anything. I really enjoyed this book!

This book was great! I loved this romance and i kept turning page after page intrigued on what would happen next. The characters in Hula Girl were great! I found myself very invested in them and waiting and hoping for their HEA. They are strong and likeable and the chemistry between them was HOT! Who knew going on vacation could change someone’s life so much. If you like awesome Romances then this one is an awesome read and I would recommend reading it asap! Happy Reading!
Lost in Carmel by Terri Lee was an emotional read. I would give this book five out of five stars. I truly felt pulled into Natalie’s life and I did not want out. She was such a raw character to read. I relates to her flaws and the backdrops to this story were magical. Who wouldn’t break if they thought their life was a lie? Definitely an empowering read.

Forbidden Love: Written by Lisa Jones Gentry: As Told by Their Son Joe Steele is a romance story that tells of two people who gave their vows to God but found love with each other in the process. The story is told in the son’s POV and is a tale of love and hate, a tale of people from completely different backgrounds and ethnicity and a son who struggled in the world. It is an emotional read as everyone struggles with the lives, they find themselves in. The book shows that love does not discriminate between anyone when you find it. It shows that no matter what, it does prevail and then sometimes it doesn’t. Love is not meant to hurt and if you are a religious person you will probably shun these people for something that everyone deserves no matter who they are.
It is an interesting and unique read and I recommend you give it ago.

Hula Girl by Lara Ward Cosio was my first book by this author and it won’t be my last. Ford and Ava’s story started as a Vacation Romance full of steamy licking tequila turned into Fake Engagement that was a page-turner wanting to know what was going to happen next.
Lara’s writing was so detailed that you would have thought the island of Maui was a character. Every character in this book was easy to love or hate and get very attached to what was going on with them. I was ready to book a trip just so I could meet a sexy surfer boy and be his hula girl.
Hula Girl by Lara Ward Cosio is another fantastic book by an amazing author. If you haven’t read anything by Lara before then you need to rectify that immediately and this book is perfect to do it with. I loved these characters from the moment I started reading about them. At first glance it really seemed like they had nothing in common however once you delved into them a bit deeper you started to see such a strong connection. The author has done an amazing job of creating a deep and interesting book. Her writing style always captivates me and hooks my attention. This is definitely a must read book.
Summer Break is a novella which is part of the Joe Football series. Although part of this series it can be read as a novella. I have read a lot of Autumn Sand’s work but had not read Brice and Favor’s story, which I now need to remedy, but the author does a great job in filling in any necessary info needed to understand what’s going on. I really loved this novella. Brice & Favor and the group of friends they are on their break with seem like a great bunch of people with so many stories to be told. I really want to know what’s going to happen with Jana and Wayne. There is definitely a great story to be told and I’m sure Autumn Sand will do a fantastic job. Every book of her I’ve read has fantastic characters and also storylines that really grasp you and leave you unable to put the book down and this novella was no different. She really does know how to bring great characters to life and give them a damn good story to hook the reader. I loved this novella and really must go and read Brice and Favor’s story as, judging by the little snippets of their past we are given, it looks like one hell of a story.

Ava is the typical workaholic, married to her career type. She doesn’t ever think about vacations, taking time off or doing anything except work. That is until she’s forced into a time out and is at odds with herself. Since she’s being forced into it, why not go to where the sand is warm, the sun is hot and the water is the perfect temperature and head off to Hawaii.
Ford is the classic surfer dude, easy going, enjoys the waves, gets lost easily into his days while on vacation. His love of music and teaching is set aside for a quick vacation to recharge. What a better place to do that all, catch some sick waves and embrace the spirit of vacation and just relax than Hawaii?
Their chance meeting sucks them both in. Ava learns to go with the flow, finds a connection with Ford on many levels but knows this has to stay what it is and that’s a vacation fling. Together their agreement turns into some hot and heavy activities that will leave them with memories of a lifetime. What they don’t expect is when they go back to their regular lives, finding each other again (there goes that thing called fate!) and suddenly a predicament. Even though their relationship is “fake” it turns into something way more. Do they go with it and make it work or call it all off?
This book has it all, sexy surfer hottie, gorgeous lawyer beauty, a crazy chicken, engagements, chance meetings all started on the backdrop of one of the most beautiful sceneries in the world. I absolutely loved the emotional pull that the author captures between the two. it’s not hard to fall in love with their story and want so much more for them. It’s an exceptional read that will have you wanting more!
What’s a road trip without a few bumps? Especially with 5 people in the same car! This is a fun, quick, sweet read about Brice and Favor and their friends, with an emphasis on their friendships. Brice and Favor are still hot and heavy starting in chapter 1 but the rest of the story is mostly about relationship changes and communication.
I suggest reading Joe Football as you will understand these characters a little bit more. Things happened in that story that aren’t quite explained in this novella.
Looking forward to what comes next since Autumn Sand ending this story so dramatically!

Hula Girl by Lara is a wonderful story and set in one of the world’s most beautiful locations, Hawaii. Throw in a hot and sexy surfer, a sexy and sassy girl on vacation and you are in for one great ride. This story is addicting and I fell in love with the characters and it was a pleasure to read their story. Well done Lara will this very emotive and well written characters. I loved this so much I read it in one sitting!
Ava finds herself at odds when she is forced to take a vacation from her highly stressful job. She doesn’t know how to do nothing, unwind and enjoy herself. When she narrowly misses a disaster due to a wandering chicken, little does she know her life is about to change and for the better if only she would take a chance. Now the vacation is over and was it just a dream?
Ford is more than he first seems and he is thankful for a chicken that changed his world not that he was looking for anything other than a vacation fling. Unfortunately that is all it can be because his life is complicated and his time has run out. Forced to attend a gala he once again finds himself face to face with his Hula girl and whilst trying to prove a point makes a mess of things. Now if she would only give him time to explain exactly how he is going to fix things.
This is a sweet and sexy love story that you are cheering for the best outcome for them. I loved the setting as I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and will get the chance on my next holiday.
Summmer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand. Oh I can’t even begin to explain how excited I was to be back with this amazing couple I met a while back. You can read this as a stand-alone but I will recommend the Joe football story as it’s just as amazing and introduces Most the characters. Brice and Favor just hold a piece of my heart and I was glad to be reading about them again along with their friends. Once again this author brings romance to a new level and takes readers on an adventure that won’t be forgotten with characters that steal your heart. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. It may be a novella but it still packed full with everything you’d want in a story. Five stars all the way!

Hula Girl by Lara Ward Cosio is a page turners for sure. I found myself saying ok, one more chapter before bed quite a few times. Ava is sent On a tropical vacation by her boss. She’s not used to sitting around doing nothing and is counting the hours until her unplanned vacation comes to an end so she can get back to work. One morning she meets Ford as he’s going to do what he does best…surf!! They exchange a few words and she can’t help to stand there watching him for a few minutes. There is some sort of pull between them…They have an instant attraction to each other. They spend a few days getting to know each other and Ava cannot believe how easy it is to get along with Ford inside and outside of the bedroom. They decide since it’s just a vacation fling, they do not need to talk about the real world. They have a steamy and fun few days until Ava goes back home and faces her real world issues.
What will happen when their paths cross again. Will they be able to pick up where they left off or will it be weird for them? I enjoyed reading about Ava and Ford in LA just as much as Maui. This book was a great read. The first I’ve read by this author and hope to read more by her in the future.
Let me start by saying that It’s been a while since I read Joe Football (book 1). I reread my review and went wow….I really loved that book. Once I delved into this one it all came back. The characters, the story…it’s like I never left. This one is just as engaging and thought provoking. My only wish was that it’s a full fledged story. Yes I am going to use the dreaded word of cliffhanger. I am not a fan of them.
Anyway we get to hang out with Brice, Favor and the crew for a bit in the summer. It’s nice to see Egon playing and being so musicianish. Even Wayne is there hoping for something with Jana. Cal and his dance skills make their debut as well. Brice and Favor are still making google-oogly eyes at each other.
Another good story from Autumn Sand. I look forward to more.

Summer Break by Autumn Sand is A Joe Football Novella. This book can be read as a standalone and is a great quick story that provides more backstory to already loved characters. It was great to be able to jump back into these characters. As a short read I found this book to be perfect for a lazy afternoon where I could let myself get lost in the characters and their story. The author has done a great job of creating a story that is short but also packing a punch. It never at any point felt like it was rushed or missing something. I would definitely say that if you had read Joe Football then you need to add on this story. If you haven’t then this is a great way to showcase these characters and the writing skill of this author.

I was really excited to read this novella after reading and loving Joe Football and it didn’t disappoint at all. I loved seeing the characters back again and reading about their summer! Autumn Sand is absolutely one of my favourite authors so whilst this book is only a novella because of the type of author she is, it was really well written and there was just enough detail in it to keep me interested. There were also a few small unexpected twists in the story which I loved! It could be read as a standalone but I think to fully understand the characters and their background I would definitely recommend reading Joe Football first. Summer Break was another wonderful ready from Autumn Sand and one that I highly recommend! @katiem

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella is the first I have ready by Autumn Sand. It definitely had a novella feel to it, as it didn’t go very deep. I felt like it was a little lacking and I wasn’t fully invested in any of the characters. This could be because I haven’t read Joe Football, which sounds like it would give the background. So while this can be a stand alone, its a brief skim of their summer, and wasn’t detailed enough to pull me in. I recommend reading the first book first, to be fully invested. Overall the story was not bad, and I definitely want to know what happens to Wayne and Jana, so I plan to read the next book when it is released. However, as far as Brice and Favor, being the main characters, I wasn’t as interested as I would hope. The bonds between the characters are well written, and the emotions are felt throughout the story. I like the writing style of Sand, and will be reading more. I just need to go back and read the first book to be able to appreciate this one more.

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand
5 Stars
Reading this quick gem has made me want to go back and reread the first book. I love these characters and this story although quite short was jam packed full of vintage Autumn Sand, who couldn’t move up much further on my favorites list.
When all they wanted to do was have an awesome summer break, you just know that there’s a lot more to come than cupcakes and rainbows lol secrets and relationships tested. I loved it and can’t recommend it high enough!
Read Joe Football before this one, which is what I’m going back to do so I’m all ready for the next in this series…I can not wait!

Lara Ward Cosio really hit this one straight to the home run. I absolutely loved everything about Hula Girl. That cover is bold and gorgeous drawing you in before you even know what it would be about. I loved that I wanted to read this before I even got to the nitty gritty. Then I found out that this book includes a lot of legal and lawyers stuff, a genre that I am partial to having wanted to always be a lawyer myself. I just connected with this fun and witty romance in every way possible.
We got to follow Ava on her hot sexy beach vacation and then we got to see how fate had her love life planned out well before she even knew what hit her. I loved the way this book didn’t fall into a predictable pattern. I had a blast seeing each twist and turn as they played out and when we get to that picture perfect ending it just really brings the book to a perfect close. I am anxious to reread this one it was that good! Can’t wait to see what else will come from the talented mind of Lara Ward Cosio!
Autumn Sand has outdone herself with this Joe Football Novella, Summer Break. The cover alone makes you want to read the book especially when I figured out it belonged to Autumn Sand and her Joe Football series. I would recommend that you read the first book in the series before diving into this one as it is a continuation of Brick and Favor’s story. It has our favorite characters experiencing summer break and all that it brings them. Of course we will get a small underlying message much like all the other books I have had the pleasure of reading by Autumn Sand prior to this. I loved that it was just spicy enough for me and I would still feel comfortable letting my teen read it. I loved the secrets and all that it did for the storyline. They were not done in a cliche way either so bonus! I can’t wait to see what we will get next for these characters and more from Autumn Sand!

Every now and then I find myself lost in a novel that completely takes my breath away and makes me pause to re-evaluate my life and where I am in it. Lost in Carmel by Terri Lee definitely turned into one of those gems. I have not read anything by Terri Lee before this so I was not sure exactly what I would be getting myself into when I decided to give this book a go for the pure beauty that is the cover. I loved it and I am so glad that I did pick this up!
Lost in Carmel brings us the story of Natalie Hampton, a Hollywood star and pretty much America’s sweetheart. We get to see everything that comes with that title and all the dirty and dark secrets that often surround the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Things are not easy and she if faced with a lot of difficult life lessons that are of course complicated in general but then you add the extra issues of being in the spotlight and stuck to figure out how to navigate life feeling so very lonely. I adored this book and found myself reeling from the emotions from the very beginning to the gorgeous end. It was a nice little vacation to Rome as well and I loved the descriptions of the scenes that made me feel as if I was right there with Natalie. I look forward to seeing what else is available from Terri Lee while I anxiously await to see what will come out new from her as well!

Loving Jake by Lisa Lanay is the first book in the Almost Perfect series and it looks like the first book released by Ms. Lanay.
Kimberly is like most women who have older brothers, at one point she had a crush/was in love with his hot best friend as a kid. She hasn’t seen Jake in years but that doesn’t stop the butterflies when she does see him for the first time in five years.
I think I too may be in love with Jake, or at the very least crushing on him. The way he was with Kimberly melted my heart just a little and don’t even get me started on his relationship with his grandfather.
This book was a nice escape from a bunch of chaos and I enjoyed every minute of it.

I loved this book! This is one of those authors that is a go to for me, no matter what I read by her I am never disappointed. This book is no different. This was was on the shorter side being a novella but I enjoyed the summer break full of secrets and the characters were great! I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend to any romance lovers! Happy Reading!

I absolutly loved this book. It gives the feel of a fun romantic read but there are some serious moments in it that totally pull at the heartstrings. This was a read I’ve been needing lately! This was one of those books that gave you way more than what you were expecting. The character development was amazing and you couldn’t help but fall in love with the characters. Its one of those books that you will lose all time because it will suck you in and even at the very end you want to stay. I have to say Lara Ward Cosio has definitely made it on my list of automatic one-click authors!

Vampire State by Alexander Charalambides is a paranormal full-length book. I love books about Vampires, and this is one that I see myself reading again multiple times. The main character in this book is Rowena and she has a lot of tough decisions to make after the Pales aka Vampires have taken over. What would you be willing to give up saving your family and yourself? Rowena is by far my favorite character in this book, but you can’t help but like both Vincenzo and Luka also. This book was intriguing it keeps you hooked reading page to page and throws in so many twists and turns you can’t figure out what will happen next. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand is a college romance story and a nice extension of the first book in the series of Joe Football. It is a quick and easy read that tells the tale of the friendships of those in the first book. I would suggest that you read Joe Football first so you get to know the characters and who they are. Autumn has done a great job on this one, even though it is full of the normal YA stressors and the underlying theme of being able to communicate with those you love. I love the characters, some are very mature whilst others are stilling trying to deal with life as it is thrown at them.
Secrets threaten to tear the friends apart and sometimes love it just not enough.
If you loved Joe Football you will love this Autumn does not let you down.
