The Matchmaker's Replacement by Rachel Van Dyken

Author: Rachel Van Dyken
Released: August 9, 2016

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Rating: 2 Stars**

When the hero of the book is a first class jerk, the author has to tread lightly because he can become very boring and not relatable. This is exactly what happened here.

Lex is not very likeable and I feel like his character is not really relatable. His personality comes off as an asshole, not a hot alpha. I rushed to experience the kindle-in-motion content in this novel and at first I loved it, but as the story went on the guy that is playing Lex does not fit the description very well. This guy is a nerd and not a hot one. But I will say that he is cute, but he just did not give off the hot, sex nerd that the author was going for. I love nerds by the way, but his body is flat and it did nothing for me. In the book, Lex is described to be a nerd, but he is also described to have a muscular build and his hotness is supposed to be off of the radar. I feel like I am reading about Ian all over again.

The bickering between Lex and Gabi is cute to a certain extent, but this book is too long and the bickering gets old fast. I feel the chemistry between the two, but not a relationship. I liked Gabi and her huge heart for her family, but her character is too underdeveloped for me to care about whether her and Lex will establish a relationship.

Why would you give your virginity to a guy who calls you fat and who constantly makes you feel bad? I know that Lex keeps up this act to cover his true feelings but it continues throughout the entire book.

This book did not make me giggle once. I found nothing funny about their bickering. Book One had humor and heart, but this book is just words written on a page. This book did not hold my attention. I am a huge fan of this author because her humor usually jumps off of the page and the plot is usually down packed, but this book was the complete opposite. I am disappointed.

Riding Hard by Laura Landish

Author: Laura Landish Release Date: March 26, 2019 What is it about quiet, broody cowboys that drives us women wild? Is it the foul mouth or the panty dropping tone? Whatever it may be, it is in this book. I think I lost my religion while reading this book because it was so dirty. Grrrr.!! My inner cheetah, yes cheetah because they are my favorite cat, came out… 😻I mean Wow.!! Okay let’s get to the meat of this cowboy stew shall we. This is book 2 of the Bennett Boys Ranch series and this one is about the quiet, broody older brother, Mark. I was so excited to read his story because he was so mysterious and who doesn't want to see a cowboy fall in love. Hopefully you have read book 1 because I am about to drop a spoiler.

Now I will not go too deep into the story, but Mark and Katelyn's

Jackson by Emily March

Author: Emily March Release Date: June 25, 2019 Right from the start this book grabbed me and I have never been so happy to be held hostage. This book was wonderful and it made me feel so alive. This is the feeling that I get when I read a good book and I just want to lay here and bask in its glory. The romance, the drama, the rawness, and the superb writing hit every mark for me. I have read one other book by this author and it was titled A Kiss of Spring and that was a 5 star read for me as well. The writing flowed like water within a river bank and the characters were so charming and likeable. I just finished reading this like 1 hour ago and I had to get my thoughts on paper ASAP. I got that warm gooey feeling and that is sure sign that I am in love with this book. Enough of my praising and blushing, now let me tell you about this story. If you are like me and started in the middle of the Eternity Springs Series, you have found a safe place because even t
