Single POV

Wow, this was a great book from the beginning. The sexual tension between Jesse and Ava was palpable. Ava comes off a bit naive with her assumption that the Manor is a posh hotel.  Kate is a good friend, and even though she knows she should support Ava's decisions, she knows she needs to push her like a true friend would.

Jesse is the Alpha of Alphas. He is domineering and will not take no for an answer. Which, in Ava's case, is a good thing as she wants him but won't let herself. I'm curious to see where the Matt angle goes in the next book.

Love the Redleg Security Series! Shep & Kri  are great partners in work & play. From book one where we met Shep with Leo & Sue, I knew he would have a funny but tragic story. Kri's standoffishness (is that a word) from the beginning indicated she was tough & had to prove herself to get to where she was.

I love the flash backs showed just how they developed their relationship and how hard it was for both of them to fight the pull toward each other. I love that both found their family with each other & Valerie. The three of them formed a perfect family that all three needed.

It's such a great book. I absolutely love the strength that Farrah has with her children and herself. I love that she took what happened in her past and stood up for herself.

I love that Gage was not afraid of Farrah's children but what he felt he couldn't give them even though he is a billionaire. The dynamics with Gage's siblings are hilarious and love that even though there were hurt feelings, the siblings still stood with him. I really want a windmill tattoo now myself.

Enemies to Lovers 

Another great Enemies to Lovers story. I loved the build-up or whether they would make it work. With two strong-willed main characters, you knew it would be explosive between them. The fighting & banter between them was a form of foreplay. 

After two years of being Ronan Maxwell's executive assistant, Quinn finally hit her breaking point. Ronan was just as frustrated, and the ensuing chaos was worth the wait for them both. I just love a strong female heroine and Quinn definitely fit that role!

Talk about enemies to lovers!! Spicy and full of banter. Liam is as cocky as he is sexy, and he knows it.

Avery is an independent, strong woman who knows her worth, and I loved that. The fights and banter are on point for their personalities.

Small Town

This trio of holiday novellas really hit the spot with me. I did do individual reviews on Goodreads and Amazon, but decided to review here as the series since the stories are all written during the same time period but from the different points of view. (Genius IMHO)

📗Book One - Maddox & Nat

Single Dad, Nanny, Billionarie trope combo.

 

Love that they went to high school together, and they got a second chance when he decided to move home. It was a heart-wrenching story for his daughter and her relationship with her mom, but I loved how Nat could relate with her and was able to be a guide for her.

📕Book Two - Heath and Stella

Forbidden romance, work place romance, brother's best friend trope combo.

You could tell from book one that Heath was the lively and fun brother. And we first catch a glimpse of them together in book one when Nat walks in on them. 

It's the classic, I can't date you cuz you're my best friends sister, but secretly, they have been pining for each other. Finally giving in, they try and hide it, but then feelings get hurt. It's really well written.

📘Book Three - Tobias and Eva

Second Chance & Accidental pregnancy tropes.

College boyfriend/girlfriend ends badly with a refused proposal. Years later, they meet up and hook up for closure only to find out 6 weeks later (Christmas Eve) that she is pregnant. 

A lot of emotions in this one from both sides, but it was well written, and I loved how it ended.

This is my first Trilina Pucci book and oh my goodness I want more!! Especially about these characters!!

Samantha is an interior decorator who is decorating her boss' & his 3 partners cabin for a holiday party and they get snowed in for the weekend.

This story is super duper spicy but I also loved the romantic feel it had as well. Trilina was also inspired to leave the description of the female main character vague to allow readers to visualize themselves (if you choose) and it was genius!! 

It is a fun holiday novella with enough spice to set your Christmas tree on fire!! It is light hearted and funny. Their banter is perfection!!

Work Place Romance

This was a super cute book. Loved the horror meets event planning aspect. Kate has child guilt for not going into the family business but wants to prove herself to her family.

Drake is a horror novelist but has run into a bit of writers block. Wanting to write a story that means a little extra something he needs Kate's help to get it out the right way.

After one disaster after another will they be able to see they have the potential of having their own happily ever after or will it blow up in their faces?!
