Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend by Lauren Blakely

*breathes a huge sigh of absolute content*

Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend was exactly what I needed to read right now. This friends to lovers/best friends sister RomCom was packed with all the warmth, banter, and sexiness that I love from this author.

Summer and Oliver have been friends since their childhood days and know each other, as well as anyone, could. They’ve helped each other out time and again, acting the part of girlfriend/boyfriend but never taken it further, each for their own reasons. Friendship is the only name of the game until Summer pens a letter to win a contest and almost causes Ollie to lose a verrrry important client. What else can they do but play this out and concoct a fake engagement? Things start off innocently enough until one searing kiss turns to two, then three, then four and more and they start falling. Or perhaps I should say, they realize that they’ve already fallen.

I loved this book from the first page to the last. Ollie and Summer gave me what I was desperate for in terms of lightness and humor while still delivering a story that had depth. I loved the friendship that was so special and paramount to them both, their kisses, their cheeky banter, their kisses... oh, their kisses! Such a wonderful book.

*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

One Night Only by Lauren Blakely

One Night Only by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One Night Only by Lauren Blakely

One Night Only is a novella in Blakely’s super-sexy, fantasy-fulfilling After Dark series. The book centers on bodyguard, Callum and hotel heiress, Ivy living out her filthiest fantasies.

While Callum has been in her employ for some time now, they’ve always been very careful to not blur lines, though they’re both extremely attracted to each other. Things finally take a turn for the sexy when Callum’s friend Stones essentially dares them to kiss and they take it away from there!

As with this whole series, One Night Only delivers us another scorchingly sexy read. There’s a hint of the forbidden with bodyguard and client attraction and of course, MFM fantasies. I loved that Callum knew exactly what Ivy needed and was willing to go above and beyond to make sure she got it. And I loved that while so in control of her professional life, Ivy was happier to cede control to someone she trusted in her personal life.

Another delicious read in the After Dark world!

Winning Hollywood Goodest Girl by Max Monroe

Winning Hollywood's Goodest Girl by Max Monroe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book and recommend reading.

This is the story of Raquel Weaver (Rocky), Hollywood's good girl, who is still a virgin, who falls in love.

She is controlled by her manager and one night she slips out, alone and bumps into Harrison Hughes, a rich CFO, who so happens to be a childhood neighbour and friend but that they have not seen each other for 20 odd years. Harrison is oblivious to her Hollywood's fame as he was never interested in movies or the entertainment world.

They have a night of passion and well no more virgin! To top it all she becomes pregnant but she does not reach out and tell Harrison.

Harrison is shocked when he finds out Rocky is not only four months pregnant but is a Hollywood actress. He arranges a meet and greet for £1M dollars to see her and it all goes on from there. He is determined to be in the child's life and support Rocky. He lives in New York and lives in California so he relocates.

His friends Thatcher and the Cap cannot believe the change in Harrison but are fully supportive. Through the story, it becomes apparent that Rocky has no real friends and Harrison's friends take her under their wing too.

Harrison is swoon-worthy with how he protects Rocky time and time again. I do not want to ruin these books you really must read it.

Fortuity by Jewel E. Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had no idea what to expect from this book or this author. Well, I really loved it and loved the characters.

I found the story well written there were parts that were funny, there were moments when I thought on no and held my breath.

I found Gracelyn (Elvis) character so realistic, her life changes because her brother and sister-in-law die and she comes to the sole carer of her nephew Gabe. They rent a house and meet Nathaniel (Nate) and his daughter Morgan. They have also suffered as Nate's wife died giving birth to Morgan. He carries his and his deceased wife's dream of travelling the world with their daughter. So she can learn from the world rather than schooling. In turn, this ensures Morgan is a bright, highly intelligent girl who has the majority and experiences of an adult at times.

They are heading home after 8 years travelling when they meet Elvis and Gabe. All their worlds change. The friendships and chemistry are amazing.

Morgan and her witty remarks and her fiery personality definitely made Nate and Gracelyn sweat a during the book when caught getting intimate!

The author really showed how it is not easy being a single parent, especially when Gabe has lost both his parents and Nate struggles to cope with the young lady Morgan is becoming. The storyline is so believing, I could not put the book down!

I strongly recommend and I will be looking more of Jewel E Ann's books up!
