Review: Overachiever

 


Title: Overachiever

Series: Slumming It

Author: S.M. Shade

Release Date: January 28



Blurb: 

It started with a summer job and a ridiculous sex dream.

If you were to ask my friends to describe me, they’d tell you I’m an ambitious person. Responsible, driven, and focused on my goals. Words like stubborn and uptight would probably get thrown in there too. I’m not sure about that, but I know who I’m not.

I’m not the woman who lets a guy derail me from my plans. Watching others make that mistake has taught me well. No serious dating. No relationship until I’m successfully settled into my career. That’s the promise I made to myself and I’m determined to keep it.

Despite being an excellent student, there’s one lesson I fear I’ve learned too late. Funny men aren’t as harmless as they seem and should be avoided at all times. They sneak in under your radar and end up under your skirt. One second you’re laughing. The next you’re hunting for your underwear on a hotel room floor. Believe me, it’s not worth it.

If only my heart would stop screaming louder than my brain, I might be able to believe that Owen falls into that category. He’s my friend, but every day we spend together in this hotel, or working on our summer job building houses for charity, the harder it gets to convince myself we shouldn’t be more.

Years of diligence, and I’m being destroyed by a goofy smile  



Remee is responsible, driven, and stubborn. So when she starts her new summer job to help gain her credits for school, it's no surprise she plans to make the most of it. 
Owen is sweet, funny, and easy going. And definitely not the worse choice for a summer fling. Friends, co-workers and temporary roommates, what is the worst that can happen?
Honestly, I loved this book. It made me snort with laughter multiple times. It was exactly what I needed to wind down for the week, and I devoured it in a few hours. 
This book was funny with it's sweet moments and light hearted and helped me escape for a few hours. It was great being back in violent Circle and enjoying the crazy once again. 5 ⭐ out of 5⭐. 
Ps- to my fiance who was judging my humor. Shut up, it was funny. Unlike the meme you showed me earlier... 🙄😂😂 Unsuspecting guy grabbing a dildo? Hilarious. Joke about guy drinking brake fluid and can stop whenever he wants... Also funny but not as funny. Ok carry on. 😂😂😂

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds.

After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.
