Christy's Review:

After reading ‘Wild Card’ last year, I hoped we would get more from this world. I love Staci Hart’s writing, and these characters were so fun! ‘Hot Shot’ was so fun and full of emotion, I adored it! 

Cass is a jilted bride staying in her hometown to collect herself. Thankfully, her best friend, Jessa, is here too, now that she’s with Cass’s cousin, Remy. It could be worse. But there is also her ex/first love, Wilder. Wilder isn’t just her ex-boyfriend. He’s her ex-husband. One night in Vegas, when they were 18… the kicker is, they’re still married. And Cass has no idea. 

I can’t even imagine. The hotshot firefighter/playboy is now a husband. Right as Cass finds this out, she also finds out Wilder desperately needs her help and requires them to stay married for at least a while. 

I love a good fake marriage, a pining and obsessed hero, and this one had all that as well as fantastic banter. I had so much fun reading it, and it hit me in my feels as well. A character named Cricket stole my heart. I truly hope the next one comes out soon because getting a tease for that age gap romance… gah! 

Wild Side by Elsie Silver

 

I’d always dreamed of my wedding day. But not like this. Not looking into the eyes of the man who betrayed me.

But when my nephew’s guardianship is contested, I decide I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him in Rose Hill. Even if it means marrying the enemy.

Rhys Dupris.

A man who is secretive, broody, and completely infuriating. A man whose work takes him away for weeks on end and brings him back covered in mysterious bruises—ones he won’t talk about. In fact, we barely talk at all.

Which would be fine, except when he’s not talking, he’s staring. And the way he looks at me is borderline indecent.

The tension between us has always been palpable. But living under the same roof is a dangerous temptation.

I swore I would never forgive him. But that was before I knew the man behind the mask. The one who’s fierce and protective. The one who’s gentle and patient. The one who shows up for us when we need him most.

He’s not at all who I thought he was.

And that makes hating my husband so much harder… and loving him just a little too easy.

Wild Side by Elsie Silver
Christy's Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Does love start off as obsession?
Because that’s what I am.
Obsessed with my wife.

I can’t get enough of Elsie Silver’s ‘Rose Hill’ series. Each book gets better and better. I’m a sucker for a good marriage of convenience romance, and this exceeded all my expectations.

I have been intrigued by both Tabitha and Rhys since we met them both in previous books. I wasn’t sure what would bring them together, but Tabitha really seemed to dislike Rhys. And it does have an enemies to lovers vibe for a short time. But it doesn’t take long for Rhys to win her over.

Tabby seems like such a baddie, and in a way, she is. But you see a softer side of her when it comes to her nephew, Milo. And Rhys. With time, he gets the soft side of her as well. I loved these two together. They were such an amazing couple. I couldn’t keep the smile off my face as I was reading about them slowly but surely falling for one another.

The romance, the chemistry, the heart… Wild Side had it all. Elsie always slays with her writing and her books are unputdownable. I can’t wait to see what she does next.

5 stars to 'The Problem with Falling' by Brittainy Cherry

 

5 stars

I couldn’t explain why she made me feel the way she had. It wasn’t even as if she made me feel a few things. No. She made me feel everything.

This series just gets better and better. I’ve loved all three books, but with each story, I fall in love a little more. Willow and Theo’s story was something special.

Willow is the youngest daughter, a free spirit, and a fun-loving girl. She travels the world and seems to love her life the way it is. But there is more to her than meets the eye. Theo has the biggest heart, but you wouldn’t know that at first. He is a grump and is closed off to most people, but once he lets someone in, you see his true colors. And they are beautiful.

Theo and Willow meet in an unconventional way. They are opposites, but perfect for one another. She breaks through his tough exterior, and he sees Willow for who she really is, not who she appears to be to everyone else. Of course we get some of Willow's sisters, even though the bulk of this story doesn’t take place in Honey Creek like the first two. And the MVP of the series, my favorite dad, Michael Kingsley.

This had the hard hitting emotions you expect from a B Cherry book, but was lighthearted at times, fun, and sweet. It made me smile huge, laugh, and even cry a few times. I loved that we had a secondary storyline with Theo’s grandparents. It made the story that much more special. The Problem with Falling is a standout five star read that I can see myself rereading over and over again. It brought me so much joy!
