Quite entertaining book. I really liked how it took a look at the relationship in the entertainment area. It felt real because it showed the good and the bad. Tyler and Cary had a lot of past to get through and a lot hurt to work through. I actually liked the slow burn to it. Being able to see them get to the point of having a good relationship and enjoying the music and the life. I loved how the author took her knowledge of the industry and incorporated that into the story. It’s well written. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

In this slow burn romance, the main characters don’t have what they crave most which is their other half. Their chance at love with an unlikely person makes for a great contemporary romance. This isn’t all the feel-good side of love, Snow did a great job highlighting the tough stuff also. The author also did a great job with character development and playing up the slow burn. Dual POV is something I really enjoy and I feel that it added more depth to Rock Crush and Roll.

This book is a fun and lighthearted rock star romance that was easy to engage with. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and watching their relationship develop slowly over the course of the story. They had a history that drew them together and could not be denied. I liked that this book had a different feel to it compared to other rockstar romances. It felt much less angsty and more focused on the romance. This is an enjoyable book overall by a new author and I am looking forward to discovering more.

I really did enjoy this book. It was a nice slow burn rom com that was a good palette cleanser from all of my other romantasy and dark romance book I typically read. In this book you have Tyler who has been in the music industry her entire life unfortunately she didn’t inherit the music gene from her dad that the rest of her family has. But she is making a career out of being a music manager. She meets Cary again years later, completely sworn off dating musicians, but everything that Cary does makes her question swearing them off. I had several good laughs during this entire book. I absolutely did not like Tyler’s boss. He made my skin crawl every time he came into the picture. The story was wonderfully done and was a great balance to music and normal plot which a lot of music related fiction swings one way or another. I liked reading about the music industry and the Canadian aspect of music management. I’m excited to read more from this author!

3.5 – 4 stars “Rock, Crush, and Roll,” Hunter Snow’s first novel, is a captivating read that has everything a reader could want. Tyler has made a vow to not dating musicians she knows what they are like. However, when she meets Cary Kingston, a popular rock star known for his avoidance of relationships, old feelings resurface. Despite her determination to keep her distance, Cary is persistent and refuses to give up easily, determined to prove himself otherwise. The novel also delves into past hurts and fears, allowing the characters to move forward in new relationships. While there are some steamy scenes in the novel, the story remains mainly plot-focused, keeping the reader engaged and eager for more. Overall, it is a well-written, enjoyable, and relatable story. I am looking forward to Hunter Snow’s next book, as this one provided a great escape for some “me time” and fully immersed me in the musical world.

Tyler Robertson comes from a family of musicians. Her dad is a known musician. Unlike the rest of the family, Tyler doesn’t have a musical bone in her body. Ever since high school she’s had a crush on Cary Kingston. Tyler is a music manager for a company, in which her boss is a sleazy, slimy wannabe. Sebastien and Tommy both have those vibes as creeps in the whole book. I found myself smiling like a fool in most of the book and laughing out loud at some of the banter. There are several music references and hockey references throughout this book. The friendship with Tyler, Kim and Allie is a great example of what women face in male dominated industries and sticking together to make life better as a whole. I read this book quite quickly once I got through the first couple of chapters, it sucked me in and I had to learn what happened next. This is definitely a great rom com to read.

What if the rock star you had a crush on in high school is into you? But it’s 15 years later and you’re over dating musicians. Or are you?
Tyler Robertson is a music manager. Cary Kingston is the biggest rock star in the world. She’s sworn off dating musicians. And he’s a confirmed bachelor.
But when their working relationship turns into something more, she wonders if she’s falling for the rock star or the person.
You can’t always get what you want… but sometimes you can.
After (barely) surviving a career in the music industry, Hunter Snow now lives to tell its tales. She writes contemporary romances from her home in the Pacific Northwest. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.

Salt Love is a perfect summer romantic comedy that leaves you with a smile on your face!
Kenna’s life has definitely taken a turn for the worse. She discovers her husband is cheating with a co-worker who has now stolen her chance at a promotion. A call from the other side of the country changes her life. Her aunt has left her an inheritance. When she arrives in Florida from California, she discovers that Aunt Maeve has left her a home, a boating club, and a catch. She has to remain in Florida for a year and share ownership with her grumpy and sexy next-door neighbor, Dec.
As she spends more time in Sunshine Key, she realizes Dec is a sweet guy underneath that grumpy exterior. I enjoyed their friendship and the electric chemistry running underneath the surface. As the two grow closer, they must learn to trust each other. Dec hides a secret that could ruin any chance of the relationship he has been searching for.
Can I just say I love Kenna? She is the woman you want as your best friend. The longer she stays in Sunshine Key, the more she begins to discover the strong woman she once was. She also gets to know the aunt she never got the chance to know before she died and mends the fractured relationship with her mother.
There was a delightful cast of secondary characters, especially Dec’s father. The relationship between the two was so sweet. In addition, Aunt Maeve is a central character in the book, and the book is centered around her in a sense. She was like a fairy godmother to Kenna, rescuing her from an unhappy life and giving her a chance at the happiness she deserves. I always love a book in which a character who isn’t physically in the book directly impacts the story and the main characters.
I loved Ray’s descriptive writing. I could picture Sunshine Key clearly in my mind. I could smell the salt and feel the sand and sun on my skin!
Salt Love was a perfect summer read. It has just the right combination of humor, spice, and and sweetness and left me with a smile on my face. I highly recommend this book about self-discovery, second chances, and finding your happily ever after!

Kenna is having a bad year, cheating husband, passed over for a promotion at work the promotion was given to her enemy and she blow up at her boss in the boardroom but when she finds out her Aunt has passed away her life gets worse.
Once she has left to go to the Keys to start clearing her Aunts house she is greeted by her Aunt’s neighbour who in turn ends up being a co-owner of the boat club, but as she starts to get to know Dec she sees the softer side of him who would have known. As the chemistry grows between them can see put those feelings aside to survive the year in Sunshine Key.
This is a lovely easy romance story which gives you warm a fuzzies inside. The chemistry between the two characters is brilliant and the situations they find themselves in adds to the story. Kenna is kind of going through a crisis in life but with the death of her Aunt (although sad) is the catalysis that she needs to re-evaluate her life and add in the element of romance and you have a brilliantly written story and a great read.
This is the first main book I have read by this author but has read her collaborations which are brilliant. I can’t wait to read more books by this author.

Oh my word poor Kenna has just had the worst time ! Her husband cheats on her , to add insult to injury the other woman got the promotion meant for and then she looses her cool with her boss and then is escorted out the building by security and then she gets tidings that her aunt has passed away ! She may not have known the aunt but it’s still a blow and she’s off to Sunshine Key to sort her estate and I think it’s just what she needs to rediscover herself and remember who Kenna is ….
Dec isn’t exactly a ray of sunshine but he has to share the boat club left to him and Kenna and she may just be his ray of sunshine 😉from house renovations to heart renovations these 2 are just entertaining to say the least ….they’re the perfect example of first impressions don’t last 😉

Salt Love is a Romantic Comedy that will have you turning the pages till the end. I absolutely loved reading this book and found it had the perfect mix of humor to keep you entertained till the end. This is a fairly new author to me but I can say she’s got a new fan. I’m going to be looking into what other books she has written. What a wonderfully written second chance romance where you never know where you might find love. I highly recommend reading this book and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This being my first introduction to this talented author I was not at disappointed at all. The author’s writing was engaging and heartfelt, and really knows how to draw readers in. This is a Rom Com for sure that explores themes of love, second chances, and personal growth. I found it to be humorous, fun, snarky and beautifully balanced. With beautifully built characters, main and secondary ones, which made reading the story all the better. I 100% look forward to reading more books by Marika Ray, especially if they’re all this good. 🥰

Kenna finds out her husband is cheating on her and she simmers but when she does not receive the promotion she was hoping for she turns to a full on rage. Put on immediate leave she heads to the newest problem in her life, an inheritance from an Aunt and split ownership with the next door neighbor Dec Boggs. Kenna and Dec are like oil and water, but it is only a matter of time before they can’t resist each other. With everything going on from divorce, partnership and the job in limbo, Kenna has a mess of a life but she is determined to become her own woman and hear herself roar.
This was so much fun to read. Hilarious, I would totally want to be Kenna. I thought the way she went through everything was so much like a roller coaster, you laugh and want to cry. Perfect beach read.

I loved Kenna from almost the very beginning. Her fairly normal life is turned upside down with a phone call. Her marriage is over after finding out he was cheating with her work enemy, after a not so private confrontation she has to figure out she’s going to do next. Off to Florida to take care of her estranged Aunt’s estate. Kenna’s strength and resilience during one of the darkest times in her life was impressive and at times funny I could relate to the hair incident unfortunately.
Dec is happy with his life on the Key. He fishes and takes care of things for his neighbor and when she died he isn’t expecting anything at all, but Kenna is the biggest surprise of them all
There are definitely some laugh out loud moments like the hair incident or the gator. I will be watching for more books by Ms. Ray and hopefully we will see what happens next on Sunshine Key.

I had only read one other book by this author before, but I enjoyed it so much that I had to pick this on up as well. I’m so glad I did because it was the refreshing romantic comedy that I needed! I found myself laughing out loud at a few moments in the book while others tugged at my heart. It took me a little bit to find my reading rhythm, but once I did there was no putting it down. The characters are well thought out and developed. Kenna and Dec will have you rooting for them the whole time as you keep turning pages to find out what happens. If you are looking for a wonderfully fun summer read that has great banter and emotions, please pick this up and get lost for the afternoon! I am looking forward to seeing more work by this author in the near future.

As expected, this romance novel starts with Kenna having all the bad things happen one right after the other, and Dec comes to save the day. Throughout the story Kenna does have some self growth, however, Dec does have to catch up eventually. I love how the author intermingles the minor characters to make the story more entertaining for the reader.

Kenna was having the worst day of her life, nobody would question that. Her life was in shambles on every front when her aunt passed away leaving Kenna with a seemingly impossible task to fulfill in order to claim her inheritance. Dec Boggs is the all American guy with the sweetest soul, despite a troubled past. Kenna and Dec must make nice, Maeve left them no choice. Salt Love was an easy read about taking your life back and not being afraid to get what you want and deserve in life. The characters feel deeply and are so relatable.

The both develop feelings for eachother but, should Kenna really have feelings for a man before her divorce is even final? And Dec has a secret that will come out and Kenna feels Like he lied to her all along. She feels like he’s a different person and she doesn’t even know him anymore. Will they be able to build a relationship or will the secrets be a deal breaker and end what they have before it even really begins.

Kenna is at the end of her rope. Her husband is cheating. In turn, his work mistress got HER promotion and she gets a call to find an aunt she never knew has passed away in Florida and she is needed there to figure out her inheritance. She is desperate for a fresh start and rediscovering herself, so it sounds like Florida, it is!
When she gets there, she finds a pretty huge inheritance with stipulations involved. She is able to inherit an oceanfront home if she stays in the key for one year, and in the meantime she is 50/50 owner with her aunts former neighbor, Dec. Dec is definitely a sight for sore eyes, but the appeal really stops there. He’s short tempered, surly, and not interested in partnership. But boy, is he handsome.
As Kenna learns to get through her new normal and rediscover herself, she finds Dec is not who she thought he was, either. He can be sweet and sensitive and looks out for her. Kenna knows he is hiding a secret, but can’t figure out what. In a time of her life when secrets are being revealed day in and day out, will his be the one she can’t learn to live with?
Such a fun read, great chemistry, and I loved Kenna’s path of rediscovering herself!

It is a story about losing everything in your life, rebuilding your life over again in a new place and finding love when you least expect it. Kenna life falls apart in the space of one week. First she finds out her husband is cheating on her and then the promotion she worked so hard for was given to someone else. On the verge of a breakdown she takes the chance and leaves to take care of her aunty’s estate. This is where she meets her aunt’s neighbour Don. Their relationship to begin with was definately dislike at first sight. As they spend time together feelings change but they both have things they are working on. Kenna needs to work on rediscovering herself and rebuilding her life, meanwhile Don is hiding a secret a secret of his own. Will this be their second chance of a happy ever after?
This was a really enjoyable read. I loved the characters and how they communicated with each other. One thing I also loved was the story being told from the point of view of both our main characters so you get the complete story instead of a one sided story. This is definately a holiday read for me.

Super cute, funny, and romantic beach read! Dec and Kenna are hilarious and such an interesting match up. Their unusual pairing due to Aunt Maeve’s will and the chain of events leading up to that moment get the reader hooked right from the start. So many laughs and some great romance, interesting parent dynamics and a great cast of characters makes for a great and very quick read. Makes me want to head straight to the Florida keys! Another great book from Marika Ray!

If you are looking for a cute, grumpy/sunshine romcom that has just the right amount of spice and characters that you will fall head over heels for then look no further and grab Salt Love now. I could not put this book down and would have absolutely read it in one sitting if I didn’t have to be a responsible adult. Ray’s writing is phenomenal and her ability to develop her characters is spectacular. This is the first book I’ve read by Ray solely, but it won’t be the last. I cannot tell you how hard it was for me to put this book down when I had to adult. I loved Kenna and Dec’s story and I absolutely loved how Ray developed them as characters both individually and together. I cannot wait to pick up another of Ray’s books. This is the perfect summer read! Reviewed by @meggs1717

This book made me do a lot of belly laughs. I absolutely loved Kenna, she was delt a bad hand in the beginning and I had felt really bad. But seeing as she grew throughout the book and meeting up with Dec and getting to know him was something to see. Dec kind of reminded me of a little bit of grumpy cat, until Kenna thawed him out. The ups and downs that they both went through was hard. But this book had a few good laughs that got me going. I enjoyed reading this book by Markia. I can’t wait to read more by her!

This was a good 5 star read. Kenna has had the worst week ever. To get away from everything she goes to take care of her aunt’s estate. There is a twist in the rules regarding her inheritance. She has to stay in Florida for a year. When she meets her neighbor and co-owner of the boat club there is an instant connection. They both have a past they are trying to move forward from. I had several LOL moments and was pulled right into the story. My heart went out to both characters. Can these two find a HEA? Overall, I really enjoyed this read. The author does a great job with her writing. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. If you are looking for a good rom com, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.
