Only With You by Nicole McLaughlin

Author: Nicole McLaughlin
Release Date: June 5, 2018












A witty female lead and an emotional scarred hero, what can go wrong when opposites attract? By opposites, I mean Aiden,a reserved, broken character is drawn to free spirited Hannah with a great sense of humor. It took me awhile to realize that this book was a part of a series  and book 4 nonetheless.  Characters Hannah and Aiden are polar opposites and, yet , they are perfect for each other.  Aiden is a reserved national guardsmen who goes to duty on the weekends.  He is a great buddy of Hannah's best friend and all of them get together on the weekend to eat good food and socialize.  Aiden has been watching Hannah for quite some time and he finally gets an opportunity to approach Hannah and develop a friendship.  Once the friendship flourishes, it makes way for a sweet, intense, humorous love story.

Okay now that we have the less exciting stuff out of the way, let's talk about this book and the woo worthy hero with an embarrassing secret.  When this secret was revealed, I laughed out loud.  I am not sure if that was the mood that the author was going for, but it happened and it was different.  The development of their relationship was great and I absolutely loved Hannah and Aiden together.  Aiden was a tough shell to crack and when his shell finally cracked, it was everything.  Hannah is a school teacher with a few failed relationships behind her and when she starts to get to know Aiden, it was a slow simmer burn and that is what made this story appealing. Aiden had harbored feelings for Hannah, but he never made them known because of the relationship that she has with his national guard buddy.  There is a little conflict with siblings and best friends to add a little drama to the otherwise solid storyline.

Even though I loved this story and its characters, I was so confused at the beginning.  It started off slower than I would've liked and Hannah acted immature. Harsh! I know, but it made a major turnaround at about 10%. With that being said, Give this book a chance and you will not regret hanging out with Hannah and Aiden.  These characters were such a delight and I want more of them.  Let me know how you feel about Aiden's secret.  Will it be hilarious as it was to me or will it turn you off. Let me know!😁😁😁

Rating:   5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


So grab your tea and drink up because this "under the blanket" kind of read.

One Sexy Mistake by Sarah Ballance

Author:  Sarah Ballance Date Released: November 28, 2016 Genre: Romance Rating:  3 Stars *** If it wasn't for the weird beginning to this story, I would have gave this book 4 Stars.  This story started out really weird for me to say the least,  but it grabbed my attention. I am glad that I gave this book a chance because this story is really sweet.  This book is about two computer hackers who find love on a dating app. Olivia is a computer hacker who was fired from her job because of her program being prematurely released by someone.  To make matters worse,  she is dumped by her boyfriend the next day. Wanting to have a no strings sexy one night stand, she meets Grady on line, whom is also a computer hacker. The beginning is so awkward and stupid, that I almost quit. She meets this guy on line and goes to his house, not knowing whether he is a serial killer or not. Then they proceed to have sex, but it is so awkward and it made m...

A True Cowboy Christmas

Author:  Caitlyn Crews Date Released :  October 30, 2018 I went backwards with this series because I actually read book 2 titled "Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy" back in 2019 and when I chose this book I had no idea that it was a part of the same series. Weird.. The book that we are gathered here to review is "A True Cowboy Christmas" and it tells the story of Abby and Gray Everett.  Gray Everett does not believe in love based on a failed marriage and think Abby will be the perfect and practical wife to share his life and ranch with.  You lovers do know how that always ends right?  It was a little cliché, but I am always down or up for love. Let's jump into it.  As I stated before, Gray has ranching in his blood and has just buried his very abusive father.  Gray has a teenage daughter and who also happens to be a widow.  Gray has realized that he needs a family for his daughter and an eternal partner.  A marriage without love makes sense right?...
