Kamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday RomanceKamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday Romance by Susan Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by the talented Susan Renee. While the synopsis and title pulled me in with a unique story it was the first sentence of page one that had me giggling to myself and roped me into the characters. Tenley is a “Love Cynic”, Teagan is a “Love Guru”.
Tenley uses her podcast to tell her listeners about practical adult relationships. While her wishes for the world seem pure, she thinks the biggest problem in the world is too many people thinking with their heart and not their brains. Teagan uses his podcast to give his listeners hope about love. Everyone has a fated partner. He feels the world’s biggest problem is that too many people don’t love or feel they can be loved. Tenley reviews one of Teagan’s recent blog posts calling him out. During a radio interview Teagan takes it up a notch giving a formal invitation to the “Love Cynic”. An all-expenses paid one week vacation to Kamana Wanalaya Resort in Hawaii, only request that if she accepts, she comes in with an open mind. When she accepts everything begins to change.
Will Teagan be able to help Tenley’s heart grow? Will Tenley finally be able to feel love? This book has it all, steamy scenes, comedy, and questions that really make you think. I honestly loved this book from page one, the characters were amazing and the way they are opposites with similar goals for the world makes you stop and think about how many different solutions there are to problems. They both want to: lower the divorce rates in the world, lower the domestic violence and lower the number of children in the foster care system. Will they find common ground between the Love Cynic and the Love Guru? Read this amazing original story to find out.

TJ and TJ have been against each other for awhile. TJ is known as the love guru and is trying to help everyone around to find love. TJ on par is against love and feels that it is overrated. TJ on par otherwise known as Tenley, has been called out by the love guru, Teagan to enjoy an all expenses paid trip to a resort in Hawaii which is owned by friends of Teagan. If she doesn’t see love for what it is before the week is over then he will give her $10000 and admit she was right about love. Will she realize that love is worth finding or will he have to admit he was wrong about love?

This was a cute read! It was funny and heartwarming. I thought it was kind of cynical at the beginning but the ending made the cynicism worth it. Even though the ending was predictable I still enjoyed reading this holiday, grumpy/sunshine story. It was well written, enthralling and kept me entertained for me the most part throughout it. This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I’m looking forward to reading more in the future!

Teagan is renowned for being the love guru. He faces a person who doesn’t believe in love. Her name is Tenley and she has a podcast for adult relationships. Her last podcast was about the resort he believed is where love happens. He offers her a full expense to see how she lasts. There is a lot of love, drama, and friendship. Such a great read! 🙂

All I want to do is pop some popcorn , open a bottle of Mascato and settle down in front of the TV , snuggle into my comfy blanket and binge watch all the rom cons I can ! ❤️

I love all the characters but I most identify with Lisa for various reasons but the love we share for “while you were sleeping “ must be the highlight of our relationship 😍😉

I just love the way the girls took Lisa in and made them one of their own ❣️there’s so much to appreciate and envy to a degree about these girls from their movie club to the way they rally around Lisa when they see triggers that upset her 🥰

This is one of those reads that you want to shout out from the the rooftops ! Lisa you blessed with love and friendship !

Kamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday Romance

How has this author not caught my attention before now? I’m not sure how it happened but so glad I have found her.

This is a light hearted (mostly) story that takes place on the island of Kauai which I have had the pleasure going to several years ago. This book brought back some happy memories and made me want to go back.

Teagan and Tenley approach love from two different sides. He is the believer and she isn’t, but can a week in Hawaii make her see the other side?

I honestly couldn’t tell you how many times I laughed reading this book. It was the pick me up I needed after a rough week. I have added her previously released books to my TBR and I hope my life can slow down enough to get a chance to read them and any other releases. Definitely recommend this book.

What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore by Samantha J. Rose – Review by Jennifer Gordon

What Actually Happened to Isaac MooreWhat Actually Happened to Isaac Moore by Samantha J. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an original and intriguing story, which had me hooked from the start and kept me captivated throughout. The unique storyline revolves around a sailor, Isaac Moore, who at the moment that he thinks his life is over, finds himself thrown into an unbelievable adventure, but is he dead or not? Isaac is used to the open sea and the canvas sails, but he didn’t expect to find himself standing at the edge of the River from the storybook he had as a child. Issac finds himself in a fairytale, the River, from the book his mother used to read to him, flows from one world to another, as far as he can see. Issac is amazed that he’s even made it that far though, as to get there he’s had to fight a vicious little old man and his air dragon, and that was after a beautiful but angry green fairy with vines for hair dragged him there.
All he wants to do is return home, to eat his dinner of mashed potatoes and turkey, but he has many more obstacles to face, least of all the terrifying Snowman. This is an epic fantasy adventure, which had me gripped, and at times a little confused. However, the world building is amazing, as the detailed descriptive narrative really brings the setting vividly to life, along with the wired and wonderful creatures, such as shapeshifters and large flowers with eyes. The quirky characters all have a part to play, but the focus of the story is on Isaac, who seems just as confused as to what is actually happening to him. This is an enjoyable and engaging read, and I recommend picking it up to find out the answer to what actually did happen to Isaac Moore!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have so many words, yet none at al to describe how much i loved reading this lighthearted, fun, and heartwarming book.

Tj and Tj are each so confident in who they are when it comes to their feelings on love. Teagan is the ‘love guru’ and ALL about love and loving your friends, family, and he is not afraid to voice it for himself on his podcast. Tenley is so far against love, in a practical sense, that she doesn’t believe it’s even worth trying to find. And she says just as much, on HER podcast.

These two capture your brain and heart right from the get go. Their chemistry is revealed almost immediately, even with Ten trying her hardest to deny that she could easily fall for Teag. Meanwhile Teag almost instantly knows he’d like to get to know her more, even if it’s only between the sheets (wink).

You almost can’t help falling in love with all the characters in this story, and you fall in love with Kamala Wanalaya Resort too.

This was a book from a new author to me, so I was not sure what to expect. However, I loved the title and cover of the book because it made me think of the “Mele Kalikimaka” Christmas song that is one of my favorites. I fell in love with the main characters in this story and hated when it ended. I could not put this book down and read it in a day. This story is so realistic, and I felt like I had known these people my entire life. Despite never going to Hawaii, I feel like she described it so well that in my mind I was there on the shores with them. I was so glad to find out that there are individual books for each of the characters. I look forward to picking those up and reading them too. Please, please, please do yourself a favor and read this story. I cannot recommend it enough.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really sweet and funny contemporary romance. I loved our lead characters and I liked how the author makes the female character the one who doesn’t believe in love and HEA and the male character is the believer.
The book is funny and engaging and is definately a page turner. The attraction between the main characters is interesting to watch and you can’t help but find yourself hoping that they get together but it won’t be easy convincing a non believer to belief in the magic of love and romance.

Tenley isn’t a believer in romance. She believes love doesn’t exist and that everyone should look at relationships as business dealings. In her podcast she talks about her feelings and her reasonings as to why she thinks that and trys to show people the error in their ways for trust and believing in romance.

Teagan is the opposite. He classes himself as a love guru and firmly believes in the power of love and romance and strives to show everyone that it is real.
When Tenley calls Teagan out for his false ideas of love, Teagan decides to set her a challenge.

If Tenley will join him at this romantic resort in Hawaii and doesn’t find love then he will donate to her podcast.
When Tenley accepts the challenge neither of them expect the outcome.
This is a fun push and pull story where both parties are wanting to prove their views right but when it comes down to it who will come off as the winner? When emotions and attraction starts to run wild can Teagan convince the relationship non believer to take a chance on him and the possibilities of romance?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tenley Shay does a podcast under the name TJ On Par and is the voice of practicality in relationships. In her podcasts seem she seems to be a bit of downer on the concept of love and instead feels it is better to remain single. Tenley believes that people should be realistic about the concept of love and relationships.

Teagan is the exact opposite of Tenley and believes in the concept of love. After all, he does call himself the Love Guru so he must be an expert on the subject. When the Love Guru publishes an article about a romantic couple’s retreat at his favorite Hawaiian resort Tenley quickly becomes his biggest critic.

The Love Guru puts TJ On Par on the spot and offers her an all-expense paid trip at the Kamana Wanalaya resort believing that he can get her to fall in love. If he cannot then he will donate $10,000 to her podcast. Tenley reluctantly agrees feeling that it is a win-win situation for her. A free vacation and money for her podcast.

When Tenley arrives at the resort Teagan cannot deny his attraction to her witty sense of humor and her feisty attitude. Tenley also feels a twinge of attraction to the drop-dead gorgeous Teagan. Will they give in to their attraction to each other? Will Tenley drop her guard and finally believe that love is real?

This book had me chuckling from the first page with the witty remarks. The banter between Teagan and Tenley was witty and amusing. The chemistry between them was sizzling. The book was well written, witty, light-hearted, and romantic. A great read! PS: Am I the only one who picked up on the book’s title and how it sounds when pronounced slowly?

An enjoyable and engaging lighthearted contemporary romance, which had me happily turning the pages. Teagan, the Love Guru publishes an article about spending a week at the Hawaiian couple’s retreat, ‘Kamana Wanalaya Resort’, and Tenley Shay, the voice behind TJ ON PAR, a podcast for Practical Adult Relationships, is quick to comment. Tenley, is known for her disapproval of love and the practicality of remaining single for life, so, Teagan decides to call her bluff, and invites her on an all-expense paid trip to the couple’s retreat, for a little R&R before the holidays. He wants to prove her cynicism wrong and if he can’t get her to fall in love, then he will donate to her podcast.
Having met and are coupled up for the week, their chemistry sizzles off the page, leading to some steamy scenes. Teagan finds himself attracted to her feisty attitude and her sense of humour. However, can Tenley, the world’s biggest relationship cynic change her thoughts on love. Asking her to risk everything, forget about her opinions on love, and take a real chance at love, might be too much to ask. This is a fun read, which kept me hooked throughout, the characters and the setting are brought to life, making me feel immersed in the story. I loved the main characters, and was cheering the couple on, hoping they would get their own HEA, for the holidays!

Tenley Shay is a podcast host that goes by the name TJ on PAR (Practical Adult Relationships). On air, she promotes her thoughts that love is essentially a fairytale and does not exist. Teagan Mackenzie, TJ Mack aka the Love Guru, believes love is the essence and driving force of truly living one’s best life. When Teagan is a guest on another podcast, and is questioned on his thoughts of TJ on PAR’s opinion, he finds himself making an offer to this Grinch, to join him on a trip to Kamana Wanalaya’s resort in Hawaii. If she does not fall in love with everything about the resort, he promises to make a $10k donation to her podcast. She agrees to go, thinking it will be an easy $10k. Little do they both know that this will be an experience neither of them expected, nor will they ever forget.

Kamana Wanalaya for the Holidays is my first book by Susan Renee, and I absolutely loved it. I loved the character development, the scene setting, and how we were able to read in both Teagan and Tenley’s point of view. I felt like that really helped me to connect with both of these characters and to better understand their opposing ways of thinking. If you’re looking for a perfectly-paced steamy story, with beautiful descriptions, dialogue that can have you laughing and really feeling all the feels, I highly recommend giving this book a chance!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a very quick read due to how funny and engaging it was. From the opening line, it kept me interested and entertained. There are several laugh out loud moments, plenty of humor and uncomfortable moments and steam.

Tenley and Teagan are both podcast hosts. Tenley considers herself outside of being interested in love and is all about practicality and logic – no love for this girl and she doesn’t think others should be so obsessed with it, either. Teagan considers himself the “Love Guru” and just can’t stand how UNINTERESTED in love Tenley is. She’s a stick in the mud, not allowing herself any joy of a relationship.

So Teagan does what any red-blooded male would do in his situation – he invites her on a couples retreat in Hawaii, his treat. If she falls in love, Teagan wins, and if she doesn’t, she wins and gets 10k. Of course Tenley is interested in a free tropical vacation and the “guarantee” of ten thousand dollars, and so…away they go.

Along the way they find out it is an entire trip built around couples in love, they’re seated with couples in love, they’re pretending to BE a couple in love. They discover an attraction to one another that neither one of them expected, lots of excellent characters making cameos from the authors other books, and a possibility between them that neither of them expected. Who really “wins” this bet?

Very fun story. Cute, easy read, likable characters, beautiful backdrop, and a lot of fun.

I enjoyed reading this romance story. This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed her writing skills and attention to details that brought her story to life. This is a well written story where friends become lovers but not without the life struggles. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world with ease. They are relatable and kept the story engaging for me to the end. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout the story. Their chemistry is off the charts and their struggles feel real. This is a fast paced story that is full steam, romance and secrets that could destroy them. I also found this book hard to put down. You don’t want to miss this book. It is a great read and I highly recommend it.

This story focuses on Dominik and Leah, two complete opposites. One lives in the shadows and seems to operate only in darkness while the other thrives in the light. While on a heist Dominik has a wrench thrown in his plans when the owner of the car he is boosting jumps in and goes along for the ride. Each has secrets that could easily get them into trouble or end a career. Dominik isn’t one for getting attached to anyone but something about this woman is making him want to break that rule. Will these two end up with a happily ever after or will they try to ruin one another? Now that I have read at least two books in this series I plan on going back to read the rest. I really do dislike when I read books that are part of a series but I started at the end, haha. Granted this can be read as a stand alone. <br />You won’t feel lost as the author has written the books in such a way that they all tie together but you don’t have to read the others to get any back stories. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Sweet and Steamy!

Susan Renee where have you been all my life!
I love me an enemies to loves romance and this was everything a girl would wish for.

Tenley is a practical woman and offers practical adult relationship advice via her anonymous podcast “TJ on PAR”. A lot of this relationship advice centers around her disapproval of love and the practicalities of being single.
Then along comes “the Love Guru”, Teagan, with his offer for Tenley to join him for a week in Hawaii at a resort and a deal that he will pay her ten thousand dollars if she doesn’t fall in love.
Of course, Tenely says yes to a free week in Hawaii and ten thousand dollars! Will Tenley walk away with love in her heart or a boat load of cash?

This just made my heart sing! Tenley is sassy and strong while and Teagan is fun and complimentary – it was so easy to want to ship them!
The writing and layout made it such an easy read. The relationships and friendships were the sweetest and everything you would want for yourself on a Hawaiian holiday.
The grand gesture that we patiently wait for in a Romance was the sweetest and totally worth it.

If Romance is your genre, then I recommend picking this up.
I am off to add a few more Susan Renee books to my TBR!

I just want to start off saying that this book was a good read. I liked that Adrik had a plan to make things happen to try and better his life and then set things into motion. After having such a hard life due to some unfortunate circumstances he didn’t feel like he stood a chance doing anything. He must’ve felt like he was on cloud nine when the Bratva Brotherhood let him into their ranks. He spent years proving that he was a good and loyal soldier to them so he got the task of protecting the boss’ daughter, Annika. Adrik is the only one that stand between Annika and whoever is after her. He has been crushing on her for years but he doesn’t want to scare her away like so many others with his scars. Will he be able to keep her safe from himself?

This is a quick, Christmas romance! It’s so good and the characters are easy to love. It’s a look into the professional athlete world and it gives a taste of what it’s like to sacrifice everything to be the best. I love that Sienna & Connor compliment each other in a realistic way.

Snow in Love is a cute winter romance story. Grab a blanket and a cup of coffee or cocoa, and curl up on the couch for a quick read. The progression of the story is predictable, but I still really enjoyed it. Connor and Sienna are professional skiers who meet at a private training at an abandoned lodge. I love the little details the author put into the story. Each character is well written with a back story and family connection. Sienna is at a turning point in her career and needs time to discover what she wants for herself and stop living for her mom. Connor is struggling to find himself again after an accident that claimed half of his leg. I love his brother Colby and how helpful he was, while still being a typical college boy. I look forward to reading more by this author. She has a way with words and the book is short but sweet.

This is the perfect time of year for a read like this. Who doesn’t love a second chance romance plus add a Christmas tree farm that make it perfect reading on a cool night.

Teddy ends up getting entangled with the law and serving a prison sentence that eventually leads to his parole and essentially working on his Christmas tree farm at his family home as a condition of that parole. Meanwhile, Robyn, the girl he loved, dropped law school when realizing that justice is not always served to the guilty. Teddy believes him and Robyn are over until a happenstance chance when he walks into her florist shop and sparks still fly between the two. Can their love survive when outside forces seem to want to pull them apart? Will the past forever be a part of their relationship or can they truly get their happily ever after?

This is a wonderful romance book that has all the chemistry and steamy scenes you could hope for. Seriously grab this book, with a blanket, drinking some warm drink and that is the perfect setting to jump into someone else’s world.

Kamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday RomanceKamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday Romance by Susan Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tenley is the host of a podcast on practical adult relationships, whose opinion is that love doesn’t conquer all, and people should be practical and realistic about life. Teagan is the Love Guru, and he (obviously) believes in love. A random comment on a radio show makes Tenley go to Hawaii to prove that she is right.

Tenley and Teagan’s banter is funny, and they have great chemistry. The pace of the story is good and I was pulled into their story. The “something happens so one person refuses to talk to the other” trope isn’t my favourite but it wasn’t terribly done and made sense for the character. I haven’t read Susan Renee’s other books, but it was clear that the supporting characters are cameos from other books, and it makes me want to go read their stories.
