Bet on it by Elizabeth Perry

Rating: 4 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

May I start off by saying that this cover is H-O-T. Okay, drooling session over. Let's get into this review.

This book took a while to build momentum, but I am glad that I stuck around because this book was good. This book is a about a pro baseball player who, dumbly, places a bet that he can get the new team's "MOM" to sleep with him, so that she can get fired. This book is told from both Laci's and Jake's pov and I loved Jake all the way. While trying to win the bet against his teammates, Jake gets to know the "mommy" and starts to realize that she is an amazing woman and starts to develop feelings for her.

I will not spoil the details, but Jake was a wonderful hero and even though he suffered heartbreak, that did not stop him from having faith in love and placing his heart on the line. Eventhough Jake was pressured to take on the bet, he was such a sweetheart with a heart of gold. The chemistry was there, the sheets or locker room (wink, wink) was burning up and the author's writing was on point and I enjoyed myself while reading this book

Now, this book did have some things that I did not like and I must say that it was minor. The book started off slow and the main female character was a pushover to me, but she did bring some humor to the book. She made stupid decisions when it came to her job and her childhood should have steered her clear of this profession, but no, she dived right in, head first. I feel as if Jake had better character development while Laci got the short end of the stick.

I have read one other book by this author and it was also great. I recommend this author and this book because you will absolutely fall for Jake. Bet on it!!!

Sorry,!!! I had to use that pun. 😚⚾

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.

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

Author Carly Bloom Release Date January 14, 2020 Wow!. This was a really quick read for me and I was really surprised.
