RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW & GI’S FAV: FINDING MAYHEM (Coming Home series) by Layla Frost

FINDING MAYHEM

Series: Coming Home series

Author: Layla Frost

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: December 6th, 2022

 

Synopsis
 

, …

I wasn’t looking for a lover. I wasn’t even looking for a friend. After my life imploded around me, I only wanted one thing.

A fresh start for me and the baby I carried.

That was before Ward ‘Hollywood’ Garrison stormed down a walkway and into my life. Cooking for me. Spending time with me. Giving me his dimpled grin and making me smile for the first time in far too long.

Ward may have been charming, but he was no hero. A member of the Court of Mayhem motorcycle club, he had figurative blood on his hands—and very real blood on his shirt.

He had secrets.

Then again, so did I.

Afraid to lose more than I already have, I was determined to keep my distance from my irresistible neighbor.

Or maybe it was time to take a risk and find happiness…

By Finding Mayhem.

5 ‘I’ve got a Mac kink’ Stars

 

Well, well, well, I’ll be damned!!! This book was THE read everyone needs in their life! I’m OBSESSED with these Mayhem men, but Ward, aka Hollywood, has stolen my heart in a BIT way! Yep, that’s right, MAJOR SWOON FEST!!!

I knew going in that this would be good going by what we knew from these guys from Until Mayhem, well, I can now say it surpassed all my wildest expectations, after knowing Hollywood my obsession just got worse, I’m now 100% Mayhem addicted. Best Book Boyfriend, right here! Layla Frost just knows the perfect way to make us mesmerised with her male leads, it’s a writing talent, if I’ve ever seen one!

“Lie to me and tell me I don’t want this more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my entire life.”
Mac didn’t just enjoy being there in the chaos and comradery. 
She reveled in the mayhem.

Mac, Hollywood’s new pregnant single neighbour, didn’t stand a chance against the swooning powerhouse that is Ward: sexy AF, charming, caring, and oh so sweet. WOW, he blew my mind, no wonder Mac’s hormonal body and heart couldn’t resist him, as much as she futilely tried, lol. Their magnetism was off the charts, their bonding unavoidable, but it sure was a dream to witness, I couldn’t get enough of these two.

Ms. Frost couldn’t have given us a more heartwarming and steamy gift for this holiday season, guess I know what I will be stuffing my friend’s stockings with… 😉

Not only was Finding Mayhem an unforgettable romance read, but the perfect amount of action and suspense, the well developed setting, all the kick@ss secondary characters – that I’m dying to read more about -, toped with the most steamy, sexy, and tender of love stories, sigh… PERFECT from first to last page!

She was my first love. 
She was it for me. 
It.
“I’m fuckin’ obsessed with you, neighbor.”

Layla Frost has always been a rebel. A true badass.

Growing up, Layla used to hide under her blanket with a flashlight to read the Sweet Valley High books she pilfered from her older sister. It wasn’t long before she was reading hidden Harlequins during class at school. This snowballed into pulling all-nighters after the promise of “just one more chapter”.

Her love of reading, especially the romance genre, took root early and has grown immeasurably.

In between reading and writing, Layla spends her free time rocking out(at concerts, on the couch, in the car… Anywhere is a stage if you get into it enough), watching TV(the nerdier the better!), and being a foodie. Though she lives in NY(the state, not the city), she’s an avid Red Sox fan.

BLOG TOUR + REVIEWS: THE SCRAMBLE (Single In Seattle #2.5) by Kristen Proby

THE SCRAMBLE

Series: Single In Seattle #2.5

Author: Kristen Proby

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 10th, 2020

 

 

There are two things you need to know about me. 1: I’m never late. And 2: I hate Christmas. Yes, I’m a girl who hates the holidays.

My entire, enormous family is already enjoying their holiday vacation in Iceland, but thanks to my busy job and having to meet them there, I’m late. They could have chosen any holiday to fly across the world, but Christmas won, which sent me scrambling because the end of the year is my busiest time. It’s difficult to carve out moments to see the family at all.

So, now, I’m forty thousand feet in the air, trying to get to Iceland before Christmas morning, all while also attempting to get some work done. If only the hot guy next to me would leave me be.

Dylan says I should put the work away until after my holiday and relax a bit. And while his suggestion of spending some time together on the north Atlantic island seems preposterous, I can’t help but feel intrigued when he promises to show me how to enjoy the Yuletide season properly.

After all, I can’t possibly spend every minute with my family.

But how do I just shrug off my duty to my job and throw caution to the wind for a stranger…no matter how handsome he is? Because that’s something else about me: I never throw caution to the wind—even a beautiful, blustery Icelandic wind.

4 ‘My Girl’ Stars

 

Awwww… What an adorably sweet and sexy meet cute, holiday novella!!! The perfect Christmasy little read! Maddie and Dylan’s chance meeting on the flight to Iceland went from instant attraction to some steamy romance and holiday escapades that were just as memorable as the northern lights itself!

Workaholic Maddie learnt to enjoy life so much more with travel writer Dylan, in this irresistible and addictive holiday themed tale. I loved these two from the get go, I couldn’t ask for a better ‘opposites attract’ love story. 

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Ms. Proby once again delivered a must read, perfect holiday novella, to leave us even more addicted to her extraordinary writing. And the cameo of one of my all time favourite families, the Montgomery, was just the perfect spoonful of whipped cream on top of this heartwarming hot chocolate of read, so much so that, even though we have magic of an HEA, I can’t wait to see more Maddie and Dylan in all the upcoming Single In Seattle stories!

“Do you always get what you want?” 

I tilt my head to the side, thinking it over. “Pretty much. The important things, anyway. And I’ve decided that this is very important.”

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW : FERNHILL LANE(Huckleberry Bay #2) by Kristen Proby

FERNHILL LANE

Series: Huckleberry Bay #2

Author: Kristen Proby

Genre: Small Town Romance

Release Date: November 15th, 2022

 

She didn’t think she’d ever come home again.

When Sarah Bitterman left Huckleberry Bay at the tender age of nineteen, newly married to a much older man, she had every intention of coming home to visit. Sadly, she quickly learned that was out of the question.

Until her husband throws her out with only the clothes on her back and finally sets Sarah free.

Coming back to the small seaside town has been the hardest thing she’s ever done. Facing those who loved her the most and think she turned her back on them is almost unbearable. But she needs her two best friends, and she’s longed to make amends with her little brother.

Huckleberry Bay is like the art in her soul. And now she can put down roots and begin to heal.

Tanner Hilleman knew it was a mistake to let the love of his life go all those years ago, and he’s never stopped thinking about her. Now that she’s home, while he’s giving her the space she needs, he’s also determined to make Sarah see that they belong together.

Unfortunately, Sarah’s past has followed her to Huckleberry Bay and threatens to destroy everything she loves. Will she and Tanner survive it? Or will it tear them apart for good?

3.75 ‘Come Home’ Stars

Awwww, talk about a sweet second chance romance! I’m adoring this Huckleberry Bay gang and all its interesting characters and stories, this time with Sarah and Tanner’s love tale. It’s been a rough one, specially for poor Sarah, but now those times are gone and its all about falling in love again, and truly coming back HOME…

Fernhill Lane is just as captivating, sexy and entertaining as usual staple in Ms. Proby’s addictive writing, a true feel good romance with just the perfect hint of mystery/suspense, which here was spot on, I was super invested in finding who was the villain, lol.

Thought I adore all things KP, Tanner just didn’t feel like all other Proby’s book boyfriends, and don’t get me wrong, because in the PRESENT he SO is, he actually excels at it! I know I’m a grudgeful b!tch, so the trouble is in my mind 100%, but I just couldn’t get over his reasoning for breaking up with Sarah, his high school sweetheart, given her awful family life – yes, I’m well aware it’s a valid and realistic reason! – but for ME, that’s not a Kristen Proby book boyfriend, didn’t feel like something they would do, no matter if present or past, because that led to her misfortune, when all she wanted was to be loved! Sigh… On the plus side he knows he royally screwed up in the past so me more than makes up for it. Her extremely long celibacy, to his in her face past, also left a bitter taste in my mouth though.

But she DID have someone who never stopped loving her, ALWAYS, her girls, Luna and June, how I adored this sisterhood, the companionship, the pure love, and support, wow, Ms. Proby always gives us strong female characters, so this trio is just proof of that, and I can’t get enough, specially after that epilogue, omg, I need June and Apollo’s book ASAP!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

THIS WOMAN

Series: This Man – The Story from Jesse #1

Author: Jodi Ellen Malpas

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 15th, 2022

Synopsis

 

Jesse Ward has stumbled through life drinking and indulging himself within the rooms of his high-class sex club, The Manor, numbing himself to the pain, grief, and guilt of his wrongs. Pleasure and alcohol are his medicine. Hedonism is all he knows.

It’s how he copes.

How he survives.

Until Ava O’Shea strolls into his office and knocks him back with her breathtaking beauty, ambition, and drive. It only takes one look into her eyes, one touch of her skin, and one word murmured, before his heart is kick-started, offering him something he never thought possible. A distraction from his daily torment. A semblance of peace.

Women never reject Jesse Ward. They fall at his feet, melt from his charismatic, devious smile, and obey his every salacious command. All except the one woman who unwittingly becomes his obsession and the only thing that can keep him from the brink of self-destruction.

He needs Ava and will do anything to have her.

Even hide every last skeleton in his large closet.

Because the truth could destroy them both.

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: NOBODY CARES UNLESS YOU’RE PRETTY (Gator Bait MC #1) by Lani Lynn Vale

NOBODY CARES UNLESS YOU’RE PRETTY

Series: Gator Bait MC #1

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: November 1st, 2022

Synopsis
 

The problem with Wake was that he was understandable. He was the type of villain that literally scared the absolute shit out of you because you knew that under the right circumstances, you could end up exactly like him.

Which, sadly, was the case for me.

I’d done the exact same thing as Wake, and now I was a murderer just like him.

Did I know that I did wrong? Hell yes.

Did I regret that? Hell no.

Did I plan on changing a thing? Also, no.

Was I falling in love with a man that should scare the shit out of me? A resounding hell yes.

4.5  ‘Mine’ Stars

 

What an EPIC start for this new LLV series! Wake and Dutch are true soulmates, brought together by the most unusual of first meetings! Original, intriguing, steamy, romantic, and oh so addictive, this book, had it all, and I couldn’t get enough of it!

Nobody Cares Unless You’re Pretty is a fantastic beginning for this Gator Bait MC series, with an unique premise, with both Wake and Dutch fighting for justice in this unfair world, their own brand of justice, that is. 

We met Wake in the last book of the last book of the Battle Crows MC, as Dory’s ex-con neighbour, and I just knew I was going to love, and here it is, I ADORE him, specially how he fights for the ones he loves. Dutch, that we also met in Never Trust The Living, is such a kick@ss character. Her love for her job, and devotion for her patients, made my heart swell, and when meeting with Wake, wow, talk about chemistry!

This book sucked me right in front the get go, and didn’t let go until the very end: it had it ALL. Wake and Dutch’s story not only was sweet, hilarious, sexy and thrilling, but gave us a peek over the rest of the gang, who I’m already anxiously awaiting to see more of!

 

“The moment I met you in that prison, I knew that I wanted to make you mine.”

“Don’t break my heart, Wake Westfield. I don’t want to have to hurt you.” 

   I laughed right there in her face. “Don’t worry, Dutch Westfield. I’m too old to be breaking hearts anymore. I just want to love you. Not break you.”

NEVER TRUST THE LIVING

Series: Battle Crows MC #7

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: October 4th, 2022

Synopsis
 

 It’s not every day that someone tries to pin a murder on you and a random girl you just met. But Bram Crow isn’t your average, everyday guy, either.

One second, he’s hiding evidence with the girl, and the next, he has to marry her so a police detective doesn’t get suspicious.

Did he mention that he had a long-term girlfriend at the time?

To say that things didn’t go as planned would be an understatement.

To say that falling in love with his wife, definitely wasn’t part of the plan, either.

Nor was her leaving me when I finally realized she was my world.

3.75  ‘You’ll Have Me’ Stars

 

My most anticipated book of the series is here and it give my heart quite a workout!!! A true redemption story, and after Bram’s epic grovelling I too did something I never thought possible, gave in and FORGAVE!!!

After all the Crow books to say that my heart hurt for Dory, is an understatement. And that was even before I knew Bram and Dory’s story from the beginning. After we are introduced to Dory’s world of pain, I was fuming at the Crow brothers, and I thought nothing would make me soften to Bram – I’m a grudgefull b!tch after all, lol – and to me he had the battle of a lifetime ahead…

Well, Lani Lynn Vale sure delivered because not only Bram gave everything in, and nothing was off limits, to get his wife back, and earn her forgiveness, but from that enlightening moment, he did a complete one eighty, and was all about her!

And Dory deserves the world that he is willing to provided to her, my heart was in pain for her so many times, I actually cried for her, so to see her having her HEA, was everything I wished for her. 

Their story may have been all about forgiveness and redemption, but fear not there was plenty of LLV’s winning formula of suspense, banal and funny moment, and some steamy hot scenes. Who knew Bram had it in him, lol?! The man sure delivered! 😉

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: FINAL PROPOSAL (S.I.N. #3) by K. Bromberg

 

FINAL PROPOSAL

Author: K. Bromberg

Author: S.I.N. #3

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: October 4th, 2022

 

Synopsis

One stormy night.
One hotel bar full of stranded travelers.
One available chair next to a charming, mysterious, and sexy-as-hell man.

There was something about him and our conversation that made me feel alive. That made me feel heard. That sparked a fire within me.

When our paths crossed again, I never expected the stranger to be Fordham Sharpe, one-third of the sinfully rich and ridiculously successful Sharpe International Network brothers. Nor did I expect we’d become partners—fifty-fifty—in a hotel transformation that dreams were made of.

My dreams, anyway

To him, I was off limits. He was my venture partner, and we knew better than to mix business with pleasure. But we had one thing in common—we were both hiding. From our pasts. From unresolved family conflicts. From what really mattered—our hearts.
.
But as each day passed, our mutual attraction became harder to resist.

We agreed to the partnership to prove our worth to our families, but perhaps we’d only prove our need for something else. Each other.

4  ‘Fifty-Fifty’ Stars

 

Awww… There is no one that can pull at my heartstrings as K. Bromberg, Final Proposal is written proof of that! Sexy, passionate, soul deep, and oh so tangible, Elle and Ford’s story was the perfect bow ribbon to wrap up this unforgettable S.I.N. series!!!

Serendipity at its finest, that’s what this love story is all about for me, and I loved every second of it! A chance meeting, an instant connection, and a fated reencounter are true reader catnip for me, so I was surrendered to Fordham and Ellery from the very first page.

The attraction may have been instant, and the blossoming love was incredible to witness, as were their internal and realistic struggles, specially considering Elle’s deep rooted and devastating past. I could feel her pain like my own, and Ford’s hurt deep in my chest…

Love isn’t enough. Lesson learned the hard way. Love is glorious but fleeting. It hurts. It will cut you open and bleed you dry before emptying every other part of you.

Ms. Bromberg’s gift for story telling, in such a deep and realistic way, always steals my breath. Like the first two books of the series, regarding the other two of this unforgettable triplets trio, I was anxiously curious about the middle brother, and him finding his HEA. Well, Final Proposal was EVERYTHING I could have hoped and longed for. So incredibly real – even in a billionaire setting as it is – their emotion, their struggles,  their battles and their evolving feelings, were so heartfeltingly exposed, and described, I felt I was right there in their shoes. 

Being involved in this construction and developing area myself, I can honestly say the author did the detailed setting and premise, not only incredibly interesting, but also realistic, that I felt I was right there in that Inn, as invested and Ford and Elle themselves. A love story to not forget, that’s how I’ll always remember this breath taking romance. Perfect ending in every way! <3 <3 <3 <3

“You . . . you are the biggest pain in my ass and the greatest love of my life.”

“Always. Forever. Only you, Ford. Only us.”

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW & GI’S FAV : HALLOWS END (The Curse Of The Blood Moon #1) by Kristen Proby

HALLOWS END

Series: The Curse Of The Blood Moon #1

Author: Kristen Proby

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: October 4th, 2022

 

New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby returns to tales beyond the natural and normal with her brand-new, captivating paranormal romance series that is sure to capture your heart and make you believe in magic.

Returning to her beloved home of Salem after a trip away, Lucy Finch can’t shake the feeling of anxiety that suddenly plagues her. Nor can she shrug off her third eye’s urging that she has a mission she must undertake–a secret she must uncover.

As a green witch, Lucy has always felt strongest and the most at home in the forest, surrounded by nature. But when a disturbing dream wakes her and sends her fleeing into the woods, she isn’t prepared for what she finds. She expected her element. Perhaps a message from spirit. She didn’t expect to cross paths with a sexy-as-sin man, straight out of a movie scene.

Jonas Morley isn’t like the other residents of Hallows End. He knows the town’s secrets, as well as Salem’s, and it has been his honor and duty to protect them for as long as he can remember. But the gorgeous witch who graces the town’s hidden border shakes him and makes him second-guess his directive. She calls to him like no other. But can he save his home and those under his care and still make her his? Or will their union mean danger and destruction for not only them but also those who live within the town’s borders?

Curses don’t discriminate, and the curse of the blood moon is the most determined and dangerous of all.

Hallows End is the first book in the Curse of the Blood Moon Series.

5 ‘Under Your Spell’ Stars

Swoon, swoon and SWOON!!! Kristen Proby rocked my world with this story! The unique premise, the extraordinary world setting, the complex and intriguing characters… WOW! Hallows End and The Curse Of The Blood Moon series is now a staples on my top PNR reads!

I will not spoil anything more than it’s revealed in the blurb, but this storyline is INCREDIBLE! From the moment Jonas and Lucy cross paths, we know, we FEEL that they are meant to be, my absolute fav trope on paranormal romance – fated soulmates -,  so from the very beginning I was beyond emerged in this fantastic tale. So much so I devoured it in one seating.

“The love I feel for you is at once life-affirming and terrifying, Luciana. It is with every fiber of my being that I love you. I’m entirely under your spell, and my heart is yours to keep.”

Jonas Morley is the epitome of best book boyfriend, and his engraved gentleman manners, his romantic heart and his surrender their blossoming love, made me swoon in a way I haven’t swooned in a long time. 

Lucy is now my all time favourite witch, and as a huge PNR fan, that’s saying something, but like I said before, she and Jonas completely stole my heart! Strong, fierce, independent and oh so loving, this Salem native is impossible not to captivate us.  And when we get to see her together with her two cousins, completing the trio, I’d say it one of the most fantastic bounding I’ve ever read.

I can honestly say there is nothing I haven’t loved about this book, no wonder it when straight to my top favourite reads EVER! Whimsical, sexy, heartwarming and addictive, Hallows End is a must read for all PNR/Supernatural Romance lovers!!! Already counting down the days for the rest of the series, and the unveiling of the Curse of The Blood Moon!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“We belong to each other, my love.” I kiss his lips tenderly as he cups my ass in his big hands and urges me to move. “I’m yours until I take my last breath.”

WILD WICKED OBSESSION

Series: The Hyde Series #4

Author: Layla Frost

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 13th, 2022

 

Synopsis
 

“That’s my good girl…”

She was a good girl.

I wanted to make her my good girl.

Joss Lennon was shy. Sweeter than any baked good. Outta my league.

Her life was cupcakes, hand turkeys, and working too many hours to pay the mortgage her ex-fiance dumped on her. Mine was strip club drama, breaking hands, and working too many hours to fix the dumpster fire my cousin left me. I had no business sniffing around Joss. No business wondering about her pent-up wild. It would be selfish to drag her into my wicked.

That wasn’t gonna stop me.

‘Cause, truth be told, I’d been addicted to Joss since the first smile. I didn’t care how much time it took, I was making her mine and never letting go.

Except when it came to the pretty kindergarten teacher… I wasn’t the only one with a growing obsession.

Warning: This book is intended for mature audiences. Not necessarily emotionally mature but, like, at least over 18. While it can be read as a standalone, it is highly recommended you read the other books in the series.

5 ‘ Made For Me’ Stars

 

PER.FEC.TION!!! Yep, that’s right, Wild Wicked Obsession is pure contemporary romance PERFECTION!! Brilliant from start to finish, Lars and Joss are match so exquisitely made, that I can honestly say, is now one of my TOP OTP!!! 

Being a huge fan of the Hyde gang I knew I was going to love this one, but damn, Ms. Frost surpassed ALL my expectations, I was in Alpha male HEAVEN! Not only Lars stood out in my best book boyfriends’ list, but wow, Joss was up there in my fav heroines, with her strength, sass and spine of steel, perfect match indeed.

Masculine and feminine.

Hard and soft.

Outright strong and deceptively resilient.

Lars dominated the kiss. Owned it. 
Owned me.

My OTT Alpha lover heart truly was bursting with happiness with this man, his jealous, possessive, über protective, and OBSESSED streak was as sexy as the man himself. Some may say too OTT, I say hell yes, give me all that brand of romance! Just dark enough to leave me salivating for more. 

“Obsessed after one pretty smile.”

Some might say that was overprotective. Borderline codependent. Maybe even dysfunctional. 

I said it was sweet and romantic.

Hell yes, that’s my brand of hero and heroine right here!

And all that awesome and entertaining cast of characters from the Hyde/Sweets You Rock and company just kept me entertained, engaged, and wanting allllllllll their stories, that we don’t know yet, Layla Frost masterful story telling is THAT addictive. Sweet, romantic, steamy and with just the right amount of suspense – I did not see that coming, btw! – Sweet Wicked Obsession is now one of my TOP reads of 2022, and definitely my winner in contemporary/suspense romance so far! All the stars!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Stripped raw. 

Flayed open. 

Exposed. 

Vulnerable. 

But safe. 

And loved.

About the Author

7792423

Layla Frost has always been a rebel. A true badass.

Growing up, Layla used to hide under her blanket with a flashlight to read the Sweet Valley High books she pilfered from her older sister. It wasn’t long before she was reading hidden Harlequins during class at school. This snowballed into pulling all-nighters after the promise of “just one more chapter”.

Her love of reading, especially the romance genre, took root early and has grown immeasurably.

In between reading and writing, Layla spends her free time rocking out(at concerts, on the couch, in the car… Anywhere is a stage if you get into it enough), watching TV(the nerdier the better!), and being a foodie. Though she lives in NY(the state, not the city), she’s an avid Red Sox fan.

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: STRANGE AND UNUSUAL (Battle Crows MC #6) by Lani Lynn Vale

STRANGE AND UNUSUAL

Series: Battle Crows MC #6

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: August 23rd, 2022

Synopsis
 

 The moment he divorced his ex-wife, Jeremiah decided two things.

One, he would never, ever get into that kind of situation again—i.e., marriage.

Two, he would spend more time doing what he loved—baking, riding motorcycles, spending time with the Battle Crows MC, and getting some quiet time for just himself. Pretty much doing the things he enjoyed, that his ex-wife could no longer ruin.

And, months after his divorce was final, he’s held strong.

He hasn’t gotten entangled with a woman. He’s opened his own bakery. And he’s never been closer to his club.

It has to be why he allowed them to have a massive club party at his place, which became the cause of Gracelynn Barry entering his life.

If he’d known Gracie was going to be his employee, he definitely wouldn’t have slept with her.

Yet, there he is, in the middle of an interview, finding out not only was the woman he slept with the most viable applicant for a job he very much needed filled, but that she’d recently broken up with the man he loathed. The second reason he’d divorced his ex-wife. Erich. His ex-stepson.

To say life is simple for Jeremiah would be a joke of epic proportions.

It’s time for him to buckle up.

4  ‘I Want All Of You’ Stars

 

I’ll be d@mned!!! Strange and Unusual stole my heart, with its quirky, unconventional, and passionate ways! Gracie and Jeremiah are THE bomb!!!

After dozens and dozens of published books, and Ms. Vale still manages to surprise the hell out of me. This story had all the elements I adore in contemporary romance, delivered in the addictive LLV manner, and still felt refreshing and new, in so many ways. Specially these two main characters, both Gracelynn and Jeremiah are so unique and alike that I fell right in for them. Maybe because I identified myself so much in these two book nerds, that love quiet times?! I really don’t know why, but I was beyond hooked in their story, and that climax, oh boy, about wrecked me, because I did not see that coming.

I love a good age gap romance, and Strange and Unusual did it for me big time, the older Alpha, grouchy, protective, and oh so sexy just took it to another level. And that ending… *dreamy sigh* LOVED. IT!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
