I’m reviewing the only novel in this anthology I’ve read, which is Secret Plunge by Jasmin Miller. Though this is a complete stand-alone, if you’ve read ‘Fresh Meet’ by Miller, you may recognize Ryan and Harper. This book takes place before ‘Fresh Meet’.

Ryan and Harper meet on NYE and have one night together. Harper has had a hard time lately, after getting laid-off from her job and being recently divorced, a good time is just what she needs. She and Ryan have this one night and that’s all it’s ever supposed to be, until something happens that brings them back together.

Ryan Monroe is a professional swimmer who lives on the west coast. Harper lives in NYC. This makes pursuing their relationship a little bit challenging. I loved this couple together and I really enjoyed watching them fall for each other. Though they had an instant connection and moved fast in some ways, their love story was a bit of a slow burn which I loved. 



Jasmin Miller writes the best sweet, fun, and steamy romances. If you’re looking for your next romance, check out Secret Plunge. I can’t wait to get more from these characters!

Review for It’s complicated by R.L. Kenderson. ARC in exchange for an honest review.

One wedding. One night. One unexpected pregnancy.

Everyone flirts at weddings. It’s a given. Tiana is off limits. She’s Nates little sister. Ty never expected to have a connection with her. When he finds out she’s pregnant things get complicated. Now the pair have to work out their dynamics. Can they support a child? Could there be a strong connection?

It’s complicated is about realising the person you love could be the one that complicates everything.

This is a sweet romance with a cute couple.

Secret plunge / Jasmine Miller

3,5 💖🍒💖🍑💖 🌟🌟🌟s❣️

Having read Fresh Meet by Jasmine Miller, I was looking forward for her next release of Kings of the Water.

Harper and Ryan’s story was very sweet and appealing. A heartwarming romance read.
They had a one night stand and Harper disappeared later, before Ryan woke up, without exchanging surnames or telephone numbers. Harper found out a few weeks later that she was pregnant and was on a mission to find out who was her baby daddy.

Secret Plunge was very well written and brought out beautiful emotions but it was short lived!!! 😫
The development of the characters and their feelings could have been more elaborated!!
I just needed more!!!!!
Overall it was a very enjoyable read, I hope the next one will be longer lasting!

I'm reviewing Secret Plunge by Jasmin Miller from this anthology!

In this story we have Harper who recently got a divorce and Ryan who's a professional swimmer. They meet on New Year's Eve in New York and they have such a great chemistry that they end up having a one night stand. Several weeks pass and Harper discovers that she's pregnant and now she's trying to find the father of their unborn baby. Little did she know that they have more in common than a night spent together and a baby to come.

It's no secret that I loved every novel I've read by this author, so when I got to read a trope that I truly enjoy (sudden pregnency/ single parent) I said hell yeah! I truly enjoyed this one, although the thing that would keep them apart seemed a bit exaggerated to me. Still, I can understand and respect that. Definitely enjoyed this one and recommend it!

[Athena D. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read two books in this collection and I loved them both!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS
I really enjoyed the surprise pregnancy aspect of this story. I loved how Ryan and Harper's relationship develops into something more under the circumstances and distance that they face. Overall, it is a book I would highly recommend if you enjoy a sweet romance with a surprise pregnancy twist. Secret Plunge by Jasmin Miller is an EPIC read and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS
I was intrigued with the mystery of this story. Auggie and Kate make an unlikely pair but they just fit. I am eager to read more about the secondary characters from this book. A Wise Prince by S.E. Rose is an EPIC read and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

[Jaleel Webster-Abrahams · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am never disappointed by RL Kenderson, It's Complicated is a beautiful contemporary romance about a one night stand that goes right in every single way possible. Sure there were bumps along the way, but they didn't change much for Ty & Ti...

Okay... So I did not expect to inhale the book like I did. But, I must say that I am happy with the end result and deep in my heart wish to be Tiana.
Unfortunately folks life doesn't work that way.

Talk about a one night stand going right...
Make a baby with your brothers friend - check
Move in with him - check
Fall in love with him - check
Check, check, check, check.

Okay, so there are some things I forgot to mention. That is why I recommend you read this heavensent.

ARC review for It's Complicated by R.L. Kenderson (this review was free in exchange for an honest review which did NOT in any way color my opinion of the book)

I LOVED this book!! It was everything you ever wanted in a romance novel. It wasn't too cheesy or dramatic; it was the right amount of sass and sweetness. I would highly recommend reading this book if you enjoy romance novels.

[Nova · Rating 5 out of 5]

This Review is for Resisting The Boss other reviews for other books will follow.

This is originally a story in the Romantically Ever After anthology about Halley and Jace. This is an intriguing and suspenseful book that will have you engrossed from start to finish. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Halley is haunted by her dreams, she is alone in this world not really having any family so when she becomes Jace’s intern her life changes quickly and the chemistry is too hard to ignore so when she finds herself embroiled in a mystery and people are dying around her will they be able to solve who why and when or will this not only destroy what they could have had but unleash secrets that no one wants exposing?

Highly recommended book and simply fantastic series I honestly cannot recommend the series more each book in the Dirty Hot resistance series can be read as a standalone but with reoccurring characters in each book I do advise reading them all and you will not be sorry that you did. 5* Read.

Review for Secret Plunge by Jasmin Miller

I absolutely adored this book from Jasmin Miller. Reading this gave me all of the feels. It’s the perfect short sweet romance for reading in one sitting. This story was so incredibly sweet and heartwarming.

I always enjoy Jasmin Miller's books, but this Secret Plunge was definitely a step above the rest. It's so light and sweet with hints of sexy, and the characters are easy to like and so relatable. I enjoyed it immensely and I'm hoping we get more from this group of characters.

ONE NIGHT CAN LEAD TO A LIFETIME

I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review

This review is for It’s Complicated by R.L. KENDERSON
A cute story of a best friend, Ty, and his friend’s little sister, Tiana, and a one-night stand that leads to a pregnancy. I enjoyed the interactions between the families and the main characters. The epilogue makes one happy.

[Jenn the Readaholic · Rating 5 out of 5]

I won’t lie, I read this for two authors specifically. The first is SE Rose’ and A Wise Prince, Auggie. I loved him in his sister’s duet and needed more. He’s so much more than the fun-loving playboy that everyone sees, even if he has a hard time seeing more in himself. Of course, then he meets Kate. And falls for her. And tries to pretend that he didn’t fall so quickly for a woman. But by then, the smart and resilient Kate is under his skin and danger is in the air. Auggie and Kate take us on a whirlwind ride, along with families and some trusted friends in tow, to find out the truth of what is really going on in their world. The only thing I didn’t like was hitting the end of their story because I wanted more of everyone. Maybe I’ll get my wish in a future book by SE Rose. I can always hope.

The second author who I came for is Krista Sandor. The Kiss Keeper was a sweet, somewhat angsty, humorous story of a first kiss gone wrong and how to make it right. Natalie and Jake are thrust into the perfect situation by chance, and as long as Jake can get his head on straight and forget his shallow goals, it can be forever. Of course, Jake is a man and you know what that means. Yup. He messes up. But that mistake is the catalyst for everything else falling into place, so his screwup can’t be regretted at all. I adored their story and laughed at Leo every time he hit the page. Krista gave me everything I’ve learned to expect from her stories: laughs, worries, and love.

[Patricia (Spellbound Stories Trish) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This review is for the Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor!

Kiss keeper is a sweet, romantic rom com that had me laughing and swooning with each turn of the page! It’s a story about self discovery, the love of a family and more importantly finding a partner who not only holds you up but stands by your side!

Natalie is a hot mess of a woman but she’s a woman with a good heart and a beautiful soul! After a tumultuous day she finds herself running into a man that will forever change her world! Jake finds himself tasked with a very important mission and it’s taking him to the last place he wants to be! What he never expected was finding himself in the midst of a crazy family, and Wild nuns (seriously best nuns EVER)

Coming back to camp means the past, the present and future for both Natalie and Jake are about to slam together! If they can survive the aftermath they just might break a curse that’s plagued them both for years!

If the rest of the stories in the book are like The KISS Keeper than grab this amazing set of books!

[Amy Proebstel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very entertaining and uplifting. I can't believe how good these stories are in Romantically Ever After. These amazing authors really know how to take their readers on an emotional journey into love!

[Sofie Sehested · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read “Secret plunge” by Jasmin Miller!

And thank you thank you thank you to Jasmin Miller for this amazing romance. It was just what I hoped for when I saw that we got the story behind Ryan and Harpers romance.
In the first book in the Kings of the water series “Fresh meet” we met Harper and Ryan but they were already together. I fell in love with them in that book and hoped for their romance and as always Jasmin never fails me. I couldn’t put the book down and read it in one sitting it was so good.

I totally swooned over Ryan. He is the quintessential good guy hero and everybody loves him.
He does everything he can for Harper when he finds out what happened under their New Year’s Eve one-night stand but there is a lot of obstacles in their way. First of all Harper lives in New York City and Ryan lives in Northern California. He has a busy life as a professional swimmer and he has just started training with a new coach. He is also very adamant about keeping professional and personal life apart because of a very hurtful prior incident.
She just got divorced, lost her job and her mom and her best friend just left her for other countries. She is left totally alone but luckily she has Ryan over telephone and computer and she has her father who also lives in California. And then she has a big secret that can ruin everything between her and Ryan.

I love the way they communicate with each other. They listen to each other and don’t jump to conclusions that are totally stupid and irrelevant. They are just so gosh darn cute together and yes I fell for them too. All the side characters were great and it was also great seeing Jace, Hunter and Noah again.

I can definitely recommend this story and can’t wait for Jasmin Miller’s next story.

Currently, I’ve finished the ARC for It’s Complicated by R.L. Kenderson. It’s freaking awesome. It’s funny, touching, has heat and chemistry. Tiana has sex with Ty at her brother Nate’s wedding. She finds out she is pregnant. They keep it secret from her brother and family for as long as they can. I love how this pregnancy affected Ty....he really wanted this baby...his past taught him how much he really wanted his baby. Tiana was nervous because she was young, she wanted to finish college how would she juggle it all. R.L. Always right with such heart and heat. They make you want to know these people and live in their world.

[Angela · Rating 4 out of 5]

Status: IT's COMPLICATED! for Tiana, hot sex at her brother's wedding is a must, especially when she is paired with Ty. Handsome, older, hard worker and has his own home, he is the perfect desire to meet her wants But, will the passionate one night encounter they share lead to disaster? Will family obligations get in the way of a romantic future? A quick and saucy read with a heroine who is just trying to make the best out of an unexpected situation and the man who is looking for more than just a one-off.

Review: The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor

Sandor's personality shines through in This Kiss Keeper. From heartwarming funny to emotionally stunning, Natalie and Jake will have hearts skipping a beat in the sweetest of ways. She's a quirky mess. He's more than a little uptight. Yet getting to know what drives these characters is only half of what makes them so much fun. The other half lies is the challenges that life has thrown their way. Krista Sandor continues to bring sexy back with a pinch of simplicity and an abundance of heart.

[Karry · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s Complicated, by R.L. Kenderson is a fun little read about a one night stand after a wedding that changes everything.

At Tiana’s brothers wedding she and her brother’s best friend, Ty, sneak away together for just one night of passion, and she’s gone before he wakes up. Everything goes back to normal, that is until Ti shows up on Ty’s front doorstep a couple months later with news of a pregnancy.

I won’t tell you anymore, in detail, but I will tell you it’s definitely worth giving a shot. It’s got all the right ingredients. Secrets, lies, heartache, laughter, fear, longing, family drama, fights, verbal sparring, and of course hot and steamy sex.

It’s Complicated- R.L. Kenderson

Who would’ve thought a one night stand (with “protection”) at your brothers wedding would lead to you being pregnant.

Deciding to show up on Ty’s doorstep to let him know she’s pregnant worked out pretty well for Tiana.

Go get your read on, not your groove. Getting your groove on leads to one night stands haha

[P Leslie · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s Complicated by RL Kenderson was fantastic.

Tianna and Ty were sizzling hot and their chemistry burned through the pages. Ty was so sweet, patient and clearly knew how to make his woman happy.

[Amy [Book Addict Reviews] · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor is a super sweet, fake romance/second chance romance story. If you’re looking to head back to summer camp and a camp story curse this is definitely one to check out.

Natalie’s life is a mess. She thinks she is cursed because of something that happened at her grandparents summer camp when she was 13. A camp she is now travelling back to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary. Jake is on his way to the summer camp for a very different reason. Unlike Natalie, he doesn’t have the best memories of camp besides a kiss with a girl he never saw.

Natalie and Jake have a connection. They are both drawn to each other. Back at the camp, the past and present combine. Secrets are revealed, but will Natalie and Jake be able to survive the aftermath?

The Kiss Keeper was sweet and hilarious thanks to a super awesome group of nuns. This one is definitely worth a read!

Ryan and Harper, they are so sweet and lovable, and ahhh!! I’m so in love with him. I adored this sweet romance. It even had a little spice.

This review is for: Its Complicated, The Dirty Love Series by R. L. Kenderson. I really enjoyed reading this story! I loved the characters! I also thought the storyline was fantastic! I was just looking over the list of books in this series in Goodreads. I thought this was the first book I’ve read in the series. Imagine my surprise when I looked up the other books and found out I already reviewed them. The reason I didn’t recognize them is the titles and the covers have changed. Now that I know, I’m not surprised how much I liked this book. I’ve loved all the books in this series. This is a fantastic book in a fantastic series!

My review is for It’s Complicated by RL Kenderson.
I have been fortunate enough to read most of this incredible writing duos books. As this book is part of a bundle it was a relatively quick read. But having said that, I never felt like Ty & Tiana’s story was rushed. I would actually say that there happens to be a whole lot of story in this book. And also their story ticked so many boxes for me. Best friends little sister, a one night stand that ended in a pregnancy. Yep - sign me up because I am all over that like white on rice.
So many more things I could go on and on about but I would only end up recapping the whole story. Can’t wait to read more from these two incredible authors. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

BOOK READ: It’s Complicated by R.L Kenderson and is a 5 star read.
Ty knows he shouldn’t have slept with his friends little sister but he felt a connection they both did, but the secret isn’t about to stay quiet for long.
Tiana finds out she’s pregnant after a one night stand with her brothers friend but she didn’t expect her life to change in so many ways.
This relationship has many complications but can these two make it work?
I love the style of writing from R.L I know as soon as I pick up the book I won’t be able to put it down, I highly recommend this book.

This is an amazing anthology full of talented authors. My reviews are for The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor and Secret Plunge by Jasmin Miller. I can't wait to read more from this anthology.

The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor: This story made me laugh out loud and swoon very hard from page to page. Natalie and Jake met once years ago and they just didn’t know who the other one was because of the kiss keeper tradition at summer camp. The tradition states one boy and one girl meet by the old well blindfolded for their first kiss but they can’t let each other know who they are and they can’t remove their blindfolds, so Jake and Natalie have their first kiss but it wasn’t by the well it was at her cabin door and years later Natalie still thinks she is cursed. Jake had a rough time at life after that summer at camp so he has worked hard to become a wealthy real estate developer and has shut all feelings and making deeper connections off even if after all this time he thinks about that kiss years ago with a girl he doesn’t know. By some serendipitous chance they meet again by strange events that lead them back to where it all started Camp Woolwich. These two have immediate attraction and go through some funny things and slowly start to fall for each other then, the bottom falls out and now Jake has to prove to Natalie he. really is her Kiss Keeper and they belong together. This was super cute, fun to read, and had amazing characters I loved it all.

Secret Plunge:

Harper and Ryan’s story is an epic and beautiful one that we got to see glimpses of them in Fresh Meet as Jace’s friends. I loved every bit of this short story because Ryan is utterly amazing, and Harper is funny, kind, and beautiful. Their story doesn’t have a traditional start because it starts as a one-night stand and things go from there. I loved their banter, the texts, and how sweet Ryan was towards Harper and their situation. This author has a way of pulling readers into the character’s lives and emotions that a reader can feel what they are.

[Danielle Monteleone · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read a Wise Prince by SE Rose and let me say this does not disappoint. I loved Auggie and he playful side, but I love his love story with him and Kate. This story had drama love suspense and everything in between.
