Review: Playing with Fire

Title: Playing With Fire
Author: L.J. Shen
Release Date: September 15

Blurb:

A broken boy on the path to destruction.

A scarred girl without direction.

A love story carved in secrets, inked with pain and sealed with a lie.

Grace Shaw and West St. Claire are arctic opposites.

She is the strange girl from the food truck.

He is the mysterious underground fighter who stormed into her sleepy Texan college town on his motorcycle one day, and has been wreaking havoc since.

She is invisible to the world.

He is the town’s beloved bad boy.

She is a reject.

He is trouble.

When West thrusts himself into Grace’s quiet life, she scrambles to figure out if he is her happily-ever-after or tragic ending.

But the harder she pushes him away, the more he pulls her out of her shell.

Grace doesn’t know much about anything beyond her town’s limits, but she does know this:

She is falling in love with the hottest guy in Sheridan U.

And when you play with fire—you ought to get burned.

I... I am utterly at a loss for words right now.

I just finished playing with fire and I absolutely loved this story.

Grace is a scarred girl in her little town who wants to be invisible. Hide away from the world, after being the talk of the town for so long.

West is the bad boy from out of town who rolled in on his motorcycle. Both have secrets they wish to keep to themselves.

They're love story is written in pain, will it end in a happily ever after, or tragedy?

I'm still struggling to come up with words for this story. It was beautiful, and heart felt and tragic and amazing all rolled into one. I laughed, and cried, and cheered.

Grace was a normal teenager, who had the  world at her feet, until one fateful day changed everything. Her strength shown through, when she faced each and every single day. She was a sarcastic, nineties-loving small town Texas girl.

West was the out of town bad boy, who the girls adored. He was a bully, a brute, but also was broken. Fate gave him a blow he couldn't recover from. Where Grace rose up, from her past, West ran from his.

The town's hottest guy, zeroed in on the girl who didn't want to be seen. And an unexpected friendship occured.

Their banter was funny, the sex was steamy, and the characters swoon worthy. I adored Grace. She was brave, strong, and funny. And I fell for West. Yes, he was a class-A jerk, but he was also sweet too. Their stories brought me to tears, their banter and playfulness made me laugh, and the ending had me cheering.

I love LJ's writing, and this is no different. I resonated with Grace. I fell madly in love with West, and I was enamored by their tale.

Round of applause to LJ for writing such an amazing story. 5 ⭐ out of 5⭐.

Review:

So what do you do when your dog wakes you up early because she gets in the trash? Grab your kindle and cosy up with an arc of course!
I love Meagan's books. And Fumbled Future is no different. It takes you back to the world of the Tender Hearts series. It is a standalone short story, but characters from Fumbled Hearts and Defenseless Hearts DO make an appearance, and it is worth reading both books before this.
This follows Mia and Austin. Mia is staying with her cousin Kalani and her man Nate, when her ex Austin shows up in the worst way imaginable. Old feelings immerge, as memories surface and even though they fumbled their future together before, they must now decide if they are all in, or if it's all in the past.
This story was short, sweet and sexy. Mia and Austin found each other again, but not under the best circumstances. Mia was feisty. She was great friends with her cousin Kalani. She was fun, and hard working. Austin was sweet and sexy and perfect for Mia. This story was cute, and a nice great short story, perfect to read before bed, or first thing in the morning.
So if you love Meagan Brandy's books or are new to her, this is a great sweet story, in an anthology with other great authors! So grab your copy when it releases and enjoy these sweet and sexy stories! 5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.

Review: Loathe Thy Neighbor

Title: Loathe Thy Neighbor
Series: Roommate Romps
Author: Teagan Hunter
Release Date: September 17

Blurb:

Don’t fall for your enemy…especially when he’s your new roommate.

Dean Evans is the worst.
Not only does the devil in disguise steal my pie on a regular basis, he also lives in the apartment right. Next. Door.
I see him all the time. At the mailboxes. In the elevator.
Every single morning.
It’s exhausting because he’s exhausting.

Now, after setting his apartment on fire, he’s my roommate…and he’s the worst at that too.

I don’t know what possessed me to let him stay with me. Pity, perhaps?
I do know that I won’t be falling for his charm.
Or that panty-dropping smirk.
His quick wit.
That body he works so hard for.

Nope. Not falling for any of it…least of all him.

There might be a fine line between love and hate, but I know exactly where I stand.

You GUYSSSSS!!
Ever since Dean moved in next door to River, she hated him. He would steal her pie, play his music too loud... And she would see him every where. But when Dean's apartment catches fire, River must take pity on him because she agrees to let him be her roommate. If she thought he was bad before, now they are in close quarters together. River loathes him so falling for his charm isn't going to happen. Or his smirk, quick wit, and body... Their may be a fine line between love and hate but River knows exactly where she stands.
So it's no surprise I fell in love with this book! I mean, enemies to lovers, roommate romcom? Yes please! The banter was fun, and the tension between these characters was off the charts. It was fun, funny, and then some. I loved all the supernatural references! And loved these two characters. They were fun and quirky, sassy and smart mouthed and flirty. This book was amazing and just what I needed to destress as my daughter starts school. Teagan knows how to bring the banter between her characters to life and I always enjoy reading her stories! So if you love enemies to lovers, roommate romances and romcoms then this is the book for you! 4.5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.
