Code Word Romance

This was such a fun listen! Thank you to @PRHAudio for the ALC #PRHAudioPartner .

I love a destination romance, and add in action & adventure and I was hooked. It’s a second chance romance, but wasn’t really angsty or emotional which kept the story pretty light and fun. 

If you’re looking for a fast paced, exciting romance without a lot of angst, I definitely recommend checking it out. It would be a perfect beach or airplane read when you just want something fun

Free Fall

Free Fall is out today! Thank you to Hambright PR for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. ⁣

What a treat! Kathryn Nolan has written a perfect summer read.⁣

It’s a small town, grumpy/sunshine romance between a straight-laced bodyguard and the charming man he’s supposed to protect. Luke has just inherited his father’s company, and with it a handsome bodyguard & a series of threats. Elijah is up for a promotion so he obviously can’t break the number one rule of not getting personal with a client but as threats draw them together, it gets harder to keep Luke at a distance.⁣

Ooooh did I love all those forbidden tension filled moments! Elijah is such a serious guy who’s so secretly soft for Luke and I loved how that stoic man blushes. Luke is the life of the party and I love that he didn’t make it easy on Elijah to keep his distance. Both had a lot of family trauma and I love that they found acceptance in each other. They had great laugh out loud banter, a ton of chemistry & heat, and I loved that we got some action in the story as well.⁣

Overall, I just really had a great time reading this!⁣

Beyond the Thistles

Happy Tuesday! Beyond the Thistles released today. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

This is the first book in the author’s new The Highlands series, which is a spin off her Adair Family series. Though I don’t think you would need to read the Adair Family first, there are a lot of overlapping characters and settings so it may be best enjoyed in order.

This brings us the story of Walker and Sloane, both of whom we met previously. It’s a small town, single mom/bodyguard romantic suspense novel set in the Scottish highlands. 

Walker is a stoic, grumpy hero determined not to let outgoing single mom Sloane in. Sloane knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to put herself out there to try to get it.

The suspense elements were a bit of a rollercoaster from beginning to end which was nice, there’s lots of steam, and I really enjoyed seeing the Adairs again! I’m looking forward to more in this series.
