OFF-LIMITS GRUMPY DADDIES
By: Lauren Wood
The Unlucky Waitress – 4 stars
Cynical and Unlucky
Cynical Ethan and unlucky Cassidy are brought together by a bet. While a real love eventually develops between them their character evolution was surprising. Overall, it was a good read with interesting characters.
The Man I Once Hated – 4 stars
Should She Stay or Go
In the midst of trying to save the theatre she cares for Cara reluctantly asks (not in the nicest way) Edward for help. They instantly have a connection and have great chemistry, but will it be enough for her to stay with him?
Once In A Lifetime – 4 stars
Undeniable Attraction Did Not Fade
Overall, I enjoyed this story of second chance love between Zach and Mia. Their chemistry was undeniable, but their past history causes some difficulties reconnecting. I was satisfied that they got to have a happy ending however, I feel that the past break up should have been addressed as it was the cause of their insecurities of being together again. Great characters!
Arrogant Single Dad – 4 stars
Nanny for Millie
A rollercoaster of emotions as Robert and Jessica navigates the issues of their budding relationship and subsequent issues that arise as a result of their pasts. Finding a balance between arrogance, strict expectations, indifference and calmness was a very fine line with character development for Robert. This only intensified the emotions that arose while reading this story. Overall, the story led to a satisfying conclusion that readers would root for.
His Piercing Blue Eyes – 4 stars
Finding the Truth and Revealing Secrets
Nora is an investigative reporter, and her next story involves the CEO of Whitestone Industries. Will Christopher be found guilty with all the lies, betrayal and secrets that are about to be revealed? Happiness can be found but difficult decisions will need to be made and forgiveness possible. The attraction between them and the story were well developed. It was an enjoyable story.
Pretend The Night Never Happened – 4 stars
Fighting for Bohaus
Things get complicated and require a different tactic when Scott sets his sights on the Bohaus Art district to revitalize. A feisty artist by the name of Poppy won't let him get his hands on her community and will do what she can to keep him away, or so she thought. Chemistry resonates between these two and it is sparking with fire. This story will keep you glued to the pages as Poppy tries to fight her feelings in order to keep this Art district from being defined by Scott's reputation. Such a great amount of banter and steam to keep readers engaged.
