My Review:

I really enjoyed this book! It’s fast paced, well written, and grabs you right from the start. It also really handles grief in a beautiful way. I don't read Contemporary YA very often but something about this book just spoke to me from the first time I read about it. It gave me all the feels and I couldn't put it down. 

My only drawbacks were that I didn't really care much for Eden as a character in the beginning. She definitely needed time to grow on me. Truman however I loved right away. I would have liked to see more depth to the side characters as well. And it would be great to see what happened to the characters a little bit down the line. 

Overall, this is a really nice read that I think teen and adult readers alike are going to love.

{Book Review} TIE ME DOWN by Melanie Harlow

  

Tie Me Down

Bellamy Creek Series Book 4

Melanie Harlow

Contemporary Romance, Friends to Lovers Romance

Blurb:

Just friends.
That’s all Beckett Weaver and I have ever been.

Sure, he’s a hot cowboy who left Wall Street behind to take over his family’s ranch. Yes, I’ve had a secret crush on him since we were seventeen. And who wouldn’t appreciate those strong hands, that massive chest, and the way he fills out a pair of Levis?

He makes a girl sweat just looking at him . . . and I look. A lot.

But I’m a single mom trying to move on with my life, and he’s running that ranch single-handedly while taking care of his elderly father. We don’t even live in the same state. I only returned to my hometown of Bellamy Creek to sell my late mother’s house, and he just invited me and my son to stay with him because he’s got a big heart.

That’s not the only big thing he’s got--which I discover the night I finally sneak across the hall to his bedroom and shed my inhibitions right alongside my pajamas. And once we give into each other, we can’t stop.

The hayloft. The bed of his truck. The dock by the pond.

Nothing has ever felt so right, but his past has taught him not to believe in happily ever after, and every perfect night I spend in his arms brings us closer to goodbye.

Like any cowboy, he’s good with a rope and knows exactly how to tie me up.

But what if I want him to tie me down?

My Review:

Beckett has been in love with Maddie, the girl across the street, since high school. But he never allowed himself to cross the line and tell her how he felt. Except for that one kiss during their senior year. But she had a boyfriend. 

Now all grown up, Maddie is coming back to town to get her late mother's house ready to be sold. Freshly divorced and with a six-year-old son she isn't looking for a relationship, even though she's always liked Beckett.

Beckett has his own responsibilities - an aging father with developing Alzheimer's disease and a a ranch to run all on his own. He can't make a move on Maddie when he has nothing to offer her - but why does it feel so right? 

I like friends-to-lovers romance and this one is perfect. You can feel the build-up of years of friendship, even when they weren't in touch they were still able to pick up their friendship like no time had passed. I love how accepting Beckett was of Maddie's son and Maddie was so good with Beckett's dad. 

Beckett's stubbornness bugged me a little but I still enjoyed this book. It was a great read and a nice tie-up of the series.

{Book Review} CALL ME CRAZY by Melanie Harlow

 

Call Me Crazy

Bellamy Creek Series Book 3

Melanie Harlow

Contemporary Romance, Marriage of Convenience Romance

320 Pages

Blurb:

It was the perfect plan.
I needed a wife—temporarily—in order to inherit the family business.
And she needed a favor—the kind that takes nine months to deliver.

We had it all worked out, from the no-touching policy on our wedding night (her rule) to the no-falling-in-love decree (mine). She’d marry me, I’d give her the means to have the baby she’d always wanted, and one year later we’d amicably part ways with no hassle, no demands, and certainly no regrets.

After all, Bianca DeRossi and I are experts at infuriating one another—we’ve been doing it since we were kids. Trouble is, she grew up gorgeous and feisty, and she still knows exactly how to get under my skin.

And that wedding night? Well, it doesn’t exactly go down hands-free.

Then she moves in with me, and I really start to lose my mind. From her sexy little pout to her wicked sense of humor to those meatball sandwiches she makes just because she knows they’re my favorite . . . I find myself wanting to break every rule we put in place.

Our story was never supposed to end with happily ever after.
But call me crazy, I just might be in love with my wife.

My Review:

Enzo and Bianca are my favorite couple of the series!

They hated each other as kids, you saw their banter in Make Me Yours, now prepare to fall in love with Enzo and Bianca! 

Enzo needs a wife. Not because he wants one or is in love or wants to settle down or anything crazy like that. But if he doesn't get married before he turns 35 his father will leave the family business to his incompetent brother Pietro. 

Bianca wants a baby. But with health issues it won't be easy. She's ready to do it the untraditional way by using a sperm bank, but when she runs into Enzo after his failed proposal to his girlfriend of the month she comes up with a better plan.

It wasn't supposed to be real. They were not supposed to want each other this month. And they definitely weren't supposed to fall in love. Until they did.

This is my favorite book of the series, I loved everything about Enzo and Bianca's relationship. Their families reminded me of the big, crazy Italian family I wish I had, and my mouth watered at all of the food Bianca cooked throughout the book. I also like that this author always puts recipes at the end of the books. I can't wait to try some out! Bianca and Enzo have amazing chemistry, I love their banter, and my heart broke for Bianca with her troubles conceiving. It was definitely well portrayed on the page.

{Book Review} MAKE ME YOURS by Melanie Harlow

 

Make Me Yours

Bellamy Creek Series Book 2

Melanie Harlow

Contemporary Romance

371 Pages

Blurb:

He’s my brother’s best friend.

The hot single dad next door.

And one accidental sext later, my massive crush on him is no longer a secret.

It’s my own damn fault. I’m thirty years old, for heaven’s sake. I’m a kindergarten teacher and a (reasonably) responsible adult. I should know better than to get tipsy and draft a fake text listing all the dirty things I wish Officer Cole Mitchell would do to me.

I wasn’t supposed to hit send.

He wasn’t supposed to see it.

And he definitely wasn’t supposed to text back telling me to go on . . .

Because after that, things escalate quickly.

Cole is everything I’ve ever wanted. He’s sexy and protective. A devoted father to his little girl. A dedicated cop the whole town adores. The kind of guy you can trust to keep his hands to himself, even when you’re desperately hoping he won’t.

I’m not the girl he thought he’d end up with, but after all this time, I might finally get the chance to say the words I’ve always dreamed of . . . make me yours.

My Review:

This series is so bingeable and book 2 is just as enjoyable of a read as book 1. 

Cole is a single father to a 9-year-old daughter after his wife died in childbirth. His friends and his mother have been trying to get him back out there for a while now but he made a promise to his daughter when she was 5 that he wouldn't get remarried. Not that he doesn't still have needs...

Cheyanne has been in love with Cole for as long as she can remember. She either dates guys that remind her of him or his opposite and it never works out. But when she accidentally sexts him what she desires and he answers back it ignites a spark between them. But will Cole be brave enough to act on it? Or will his fear of losing someone else he loves make him pump the breaks?

I really liked how the author portrayed Cole's anxiety issues throughout the book, it was very well done. And I really loved watching Cheyanne and Cole's relationship develop, they definitely deserved it. The chemistry between them was electric. 

Overall,  I really enjoyed this book. It's sexy, it's sweet, and parts of it will break your heart and put it back together.

{Book Review} Flipcup by Kim Hartfield

  

Flipcup

Vino and Veritas Book 7

Kim Hartfield

LGBT Romance

188 Pages

Blurb:

Could swearing off men lead Chelsea to the perfect woman?

After being rejected one too many times, Chelsea makes a bold vow: No more men. Her friends doubt a boy-crazy party girl can handle not dating for a year, but that only makes Chelsea more determined.

Tara has made a vow, too. After growing up in foster care and suppressing herself to please others, she's going to live her truth. When she sees a beautiful woman, she'll make her attraction known.

Chelsea appreciates Tara's flirtatious compliments, not to mention her androgynous beauty. There's a loophole in Chelsea's vow, and it's more tempting every day...

My Review:

Ugh, this book. I put it on my TBR a few months ago when I saw it in a newsletter and was really excited to read it. I thought Pride Month would be the perfect time. But this book is a classic case of unlikeable characters who should not be a couple.

Chelsea is this guy-crazy, heavy-drinking immature woman who decides on a whim to try hooking up with a woman because she's tired of meaningless sex with guys that never leads to a relationship. She clearly has no idea how to adult because she actually asks Tara after she gets her own apartment what she's supposed to do with the garbage, isn't someone going to come get it and take it out of her apartment. 🙄

Then there's Tara, who is described as an "androgynous beauty" in the blurb. She's overly flirty toward Chelsea but when Chelsea takes interest it's like she gets all offended. I believe there is a word for people like that but I won't say it here. Despite being flirty, Tara is startlingly closed-off because of her childhood in the foster care system (seriously, another one of those books... aren't there a ton already that show how shitty the system is? We get it already!)

Another thing I didn't like was that the author bases most of the book around Chelsea and Tara's physical relationship. It's like they're the only characters that matter in the book. We see no interaction between Chelsea and her parents, Chelsea and Tara's friends are one-dimensional, people that come into Tara's life like her guitar teacher or aunt are mentioned but we don't really learn much about them or build that connection. 

Overall, I didn't like this book. For such a short book it took forever to read. I will not read another book by this author. As for the series, I'd have to take it on a book by book basis, as each can be read as a standalone and each is written by a different author.

{Book Review} BITTERSWEET by Sarina Bowen

 

Bittersweet

True North Book 1

Sarina Bowen

Contemporary Romance, Second Chance Romance

349 Pages

Blurb:

The new series is set in Vermont. True North is populated by the tough, outdoorsy mountain men that populate the Green Mountain State. They raise cows and they grow apples. They chop a lot of wood, especially when they need to blow off steam. (Beards are optional but encouraged.)

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the orchard.

The last person Griffin Shipley expects to find stuck in a ditch on his Vermont country road is his ex-hookup. Five years ago they’d shared a couple of steamy nights together. But that was a lifetime ago.

At twenty-seven, Griff is now the accidental patriarch of his family farm. Even his enormous shoulders feel the strain of supporting his mother, three siblings and a dotty grandfather. He doesn’t have time for the sorority girl who’s shown up expecting to buy his harvest at half price.

Vermont was never in Audrey Kidder’s travel plans. Neither was Griff Shipley. But she needs a second chance with the restaurant conglomerate employing her. Okay—a fifth chance. And no self-righteous lumbersexual farmer will stand in her way.

They’re adversaries. They want entirely different things from life. Too bad their sexual chemistry is as hot as Audrey’s top secret enchilada sauce, and then some.

My Review:

I'd just read two books I really loved, going into Bittersweet I thought no way could I love a third book in a row that much, but boy was I wrong. 

Five years ago, Griffin and Audrey spent two steamy nights together when he was a senior and she was a freshman in college. Their chemistry was hot then, but nothing came of it at the time. 

Now, five years later Audrey put herself through culinary school after her mother cut her off for not being the perfect child she wanted. Griffin is the patriarch of his family after his father passed away unexpectedly from a massive heart attack two years ago and he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. 

Fate brings Audrey and Griffin back together when the restaurant conglomerate that Audrey works for sends her to Vermont to find suppliers for their farm-to-table initiative. Audrey is not in Griffin's plans and he doesn't trust the company that she works for but their chemistry is even more off the charts than it was five years ago and soon he can't imagine his life without her. But can Audrey see that they're meant to be? 

This book is sexy, addictive, and deliciously humorous all at the same time. I enjoyed it from start to finish, reading late into the night because I didn't want to put it down. I can't wait to read the rest of this series and I'm really excited that the next book is about Jude. I loved him as a side character in Bittersweet and hope that he can find the happiness he deserves.

Hey Bookdragons! Last week was a perfect example of "It's hot so I should stay inside and read." I don't think we got below 90 all week but now thankfully it's cooling down. It gave me a chance to binge most of a really hot series last week though!

What I Read Last Week: 

Make Me Yours by Melanie Harlow

I enjoyed Make Me Yours nearly as much as Drive Me Wild (Bellamy Creek series book 1). It's a little more heartbreaking than DMW though, so have some tissues handy if you read this one. 

Call Me Crazy by Melanie Harlow

OMG, I think Enzo and Bianca are my favorite couple in this series! If you like the fake marriage trope you will love this book! And it left me craving Italian food! 

Currently Reading:

Tie Me Down by Melanie Harlow

I'm already on the 4th and final book and I can't wait to see how Beckett's story unfolds. I haven't had much reading time over the weekend so I'm only about 10% into this one. I already know it's going to give me the feels with Beckett's dad after me being a caregiver for my grandmother. 

Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco

I'm about 100 pages into Capturing the Devil and I'm not feeling it so much. It's a reread for me, and last time I read it I didn't get too far either. No idea why. 

Next Read

{Book Review} DRIVE ME WILD by Melanie Harlow

 

Drive Me Wild

Bellamy Creek Book 1

Melanie Harlow

Contemporary Romance, Opposites Attract Romance

312 Pages

Blurb:

When Blair Beaufort literally crashes into Bellamy Creek wearing a ball gown and a tiara, I should have towed her car, said goodnight, and sent her packing.

I’m a mechanic, not a hotel manager. I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my shop from going under, my overbearing mother off my back, and my baseball team in contention for the league championship. I don’t have time for a former debutante with zero street smarts and a cash flow problem, even if she is crazy beautiful.

Problem is, she’s stranded in my small town, and I’m hiding a protective streak underneath my grumpy exterior that runs deep. So I offer her a place to stay and keep my hands to myself.

For exactly one night.

If only she weren't so gorgeous. So funny. So eager to please. She’s a disaster behind the wheel, but she drives me wild without even trying--at work, at home, in the back of my truck . . . I can’t get enough of the way she makes me feel.

But I know better than to think it can last. She wants a fairy tale, and I’m no prince.

So when it comes time for her to leave, there’s nothing I can do but let her go.

No matter how much it hurts to say goodbye.

My Review:

Opposites attract when runaway former debutante Blair meets gruff, sexy mechanic Griffin in Drive Me Wild which not only packs the sexy times but humorous feel-good antics as well. 

I haven't read anything by this author before but I picked this ebook up recently based on another author's recommendation. It grabbed me right away and made me laugh, made me hungry for Blair's recipes, and made me swoon for Griffin. This author is definitely one of my new auto-buy authors and I can't wait to read the rest of the series and see who the rest of the characters are going to end up with. 

Bellamy Creek is the type of small town you'd love to move to and the characters are the type of people you'd love to have in your life. 

Overall, this book met and exceeded everything I was hoping for going in and I devoured it in nearly one sitting!

{Release Week Blitz + Review} THE WICKED AFTERMATH by Melissa Foster

The Wicked Aftermath

The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside #2

Melissa Foster

Contemporary Romance, MC Romance

268 Pages

Blurb:

THE WICKED AFTERMATH is an emotionally gripping story of love, loss, and hope, with a rich and entrancing happily ever after. 

Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven't met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. Some of the Wickeds’ love stories will be hilariously fun and deeply emotional, others will tear at your heartstrings and include injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb between the pages and join them. All Wicked novels may be enjoyed as standalone romances.

When the person you blame for your grief is the only one who can save you from the pain...

Tank Wicked lost his sister and has since vowed to save everyone else in his path. He lives by the creed of the Dark Knights motorcycle club, sworn to protect and respect his community. He selflessly saves lives as a volunteer firefighter and treats the men and women who work for him at his tattoo shop like family. But life isn’t a balance scale where good deeds negate bad things to come, and one foggy night life guts Tank once again. When a car careens over the side of a bridge and into a river, Tank springs into action, plunging into the water to rescue the passengers. Four people go into the river, but only three come out alive.

Leah Yates is just trying to make it through each day. When the man she blames for her grief becomes the only one who can pull her from the depths of despair, she discovers that even hope comes at a price. Maybe this time she won't have to face it alone.

My Review:

Fair warning: prepare to fall in love with Leah and Tank. But have tissues on hand! 

Tank has been intrigued by Leah since she first started working at his parents' restaurant. Is there something about him that makes the young waitress so uncomfortable she can't make eye contact with him and rushes away as soon as she's able?

Leah has a lot on her plate. She raised her younger brother, River, after their father died when she was 18 and he was only 13 and now has adopted and is raising River's two daughters. While Tank is undoubtedly attractive, she feels a smothering sense of grief around him that makes her unable to breathe, a sort of sixth sense she's had all of her life. 

When tragedy strikes and Leah thinks her whole world will crumble down Tank, his family, and the Dark Knights step in in the most amazing way, bringing her into their fold and reminding her that she's part of their family now. But will the woman who's always had to step up and take care of others allow someone in to take care of her in her time of need? Or will her fear of letting anyone in drive her away from the man who's been so good to her and her family and makes her weak in the knees?

This book is an emotional roller-coaster. You feel Leah's grief and Tank's desire to make things - if not right maybe a new normal - again. I love his protectiveness and the way he is with June and Rosie. It's adorable. I also love how Tank and his family step in for Leah even though they don't know her that well. It makes you wish there were more people like that in the world. Leah and Tank have really great chemistry and I loved all of the secondary characters and can't wait to read the next books in this series. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It had all the elements that I love and once I started reading I couldn't wait to find out how things were going to turn out.

BLURB

Before I even met Donovan Decker, I knew his shoe size.

You see, I’d gone away for a few days, and in my haste to get out of the airport, I’d grabbed the wrong suitcase.

After checking out the expensive footwear and tailored clothes, I dialed the number on the luggage tag hoping maybe Mister Big Spender might have my bag.

A deep, velvety voice answered, and as luck would have it, he had my suitcase, too.

Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the exchange.

Turned out, it wasn’t just his voice that was sexy. The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark.

He got me to admit that I’d snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee.

Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together. Donovan wasn’t just handsome with a panty-dropping voice. He was also funny, smart, and surprisingly down to earth for a man who wore seven-hundred-dollar shoes.

Did I mention he also did my laundry while I slept?

Definitely too good to be true.

So what did I do to repay him for his kindness?

I waited until he was in the shower, then ghosted him.

My life was too complicated for such a great guy.

In the months that passed, I thought about Donovan often. But New York City had eight-million people, so what were the chances I’d run into him?

Then again, what were the chances I’d run into him a year later…when I’d just started dating his boss?
