It's me, Charity

  If I had to rank all of my favorite tropes in books it would be Marriage of Convenience (even though it took me three times to get that word close enough for spell checker to correct it) and Surprise Baby and what do you know this book HAD BOTH OF THEM!! Cue a *VERY* Happy me!! Jace and Rory were an absolute delight! I didn't expect Jace to be such a loveable, golden retriever type of a guy, especially with his Rock Star role, but he was all that are more! And Rory, Rory is all of us! As a nerd, I completely identified with her character! I loved that she gave him sass and didn't fall drooling at his feet when she met him. She made him WORK FOR IT and work for it he did!!!! Cue me Swooning multiple times in this book.  I will be reading this book again because I read it in between surgeries when I was feeling miserable. I still absolutely loved it and gobbled it up as fast as my puny body would let me. But I'm going to have to read it a second time so I can soak in the ro...

  We are back in the Mile High Series! Or what maybe she be renamed to the Guinea Piggies Parents series. HA! I'd love to know how the love for guinea pigs came about in these books. I find it absolutely hilarious that almost each couple now has piggies of their own and the animals personalities. Love it.  Sunshine and Peaches, which is what I shall refer to them as, were quite the read! It was definitely a bit more *SPICY* than some of her other books, so just as a warning! The BANTER between these two was epic! I loved the sass back and forth! I loved how Peaches wasn't afraid to speak her mind, especially when Max aka Sunshine was being a grump. He was kind of a jerk at the beginning but like any golden retriever he got his act together and was green flags all around! This book also dealt with some heavier topics, which I thought Jennifer did a very good job covering it with reality and humanity, and sensitivity. I was proud of Layla for taking back herself and her body and...

 I'm not sure how I stumbled upon Jennifer J. Williams, most likely from a recommendation on Kindle Unlimited. But I'm so glad I did! Her eternity springs series has been so much fun to read that I'm sad to say goodbye to this family of crazy siblings! Worth the Wait was indeed, worth the wait.  Leo and Ella ripped my heart out and then slowly put it back together again. This is one of the most real, and raw romance, REAL life, real people, real feelings books I've ever read. Leo's struggles after the war, Ella's struggles with him before and after and the feelings she faced with that. Combine being the caretaker of her sisters two children. This book was life like.  You really felt the characters emotions and pain, and of course, finally happily ever after happened for the last Santos Sibling.  I absolutely loved this book, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to read it for free in exchange for my always honest opinions!

Y'all already know what I'm going to say. LJ Evans wrote another masterclass of a romantic suspense novel and you need to run, not walk, and go read it! But here's the longer version of LJ Evans is incapable of writing a book I don't love.  One of LJ's many talents is making you feel like you are a part of the book and the characters and their family. I joked last time that Parker and Fallon really put me through it. (They did!) But that is a testament to LJ's writing skills. You feel like the characters are real, living people and therefore you are invested in them like they are your own family.  I feel like this new series of younger characters (ha I say younger and they are in their 20's. Tell me you're in your 40's without telling me) are my nieces and nephews so this Auntie has some thoughts and at times during reading this book I wanted to sit both Beckett and Maisey down and have a CHAT. At one point I said, out loud, Beckett, my dude, we need...

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
