In Your Court -Kit Haley

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

Did I judge a book by its cover? Well yes I did! The cover is hot!! So No regrets because thankfully the cover is not the only great thing, The story had me hooked i couldn’t put it down. 

Besides the cover what really attracted me to the book was the premise of the story. Two rival tennis players; one openly gay who’s trying to make a comeback after a horrible accident and another one who is this big rich American superstar player. Like I was sold on it as soon I read that blurb throw a challenge and a little bit of flirting into the mix and we have a winner. 

In your court was such a fun surprise I throughly enjoyed the story from start to finish. Is emotional low to medium angst , funny the banter is on point, and steamy  that fast burn was 🔥. But most of all what made the story incredible was the characters; both are great but also complicated and interesting as the same time, after suffering a big accident Matt is struggling with his self worth and comeback as a player who is also openly gay. Then we have Miles that on the surface is this big superstar that may seem like he has everything but underneath all of that is someone who is also dealing with his own struggles. The bond both  characters forge was the highlight of the story for me, how both pushed each other to be better but also be there for each other, that was my favorite part of their story. 

Overall this is an amazing book I’m glad I had the opportunity to read it. If you love rivals falling in love, steamy romance with a sprinkle of angst then this is definitely your story 

The Risk Taker( Colton U Playbook #3) - Stephanie Alves

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC review 

After finish my last read I needed something to balance that heavy emotional energy into something more sweeter and The Risk Taker was just that and more, it was an amazing read from start to finish. Stephanie definitely scored with this one a  5 stars for sure. 

 From the very beginning I was hooked Nathan and Logan chemistry was palpable from the beginning you could feel the pull both had but also the hesitation but once they give in, it was just perfect. Nathan is not only the goalie  of the team but also the coach son so he has more pressure on his shoulders compared to Logan who is total opposite of him. A highlight for me and one  thing I love about their dynamic is how the author perfectly crafted their differences but also knew how to balance them which made the story work so well. 

I love everything about this book, it’s sweet, fun but with an added depth that perfectly balance all of it to make a great enjoyable story. Definitely recommend it. 

Wake- Anyta Sunday

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC review 

 One thing i noticed when I was reading wake is that it didn’t pull that same intensity that Rock did for me but not because it was bad on contrary it was a good story, the characters, the writing all were there , but for me the flow of the story was different, I didn’t get that heart wrecking feeling Rock gave me, it was more less intense feeling which was interesting because I was ready for my heart to be torn. The story still messy, complicated and most of all emotional but in a less intense way. One thing that would have made story perfect is the dual POV we only get to experience one side and that’s something Rock lacked too I wanted to be in both MC’s head, while the story still enjoyable I did wish for that. 

If you love slow burn stories with just the right amount of angst this definitely for you.

Written in the stars( The Barracudas #3)- Christopher J. Brice

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 

This is the story of Ryan and Oliver who were childhood best friends but unfortunately lost touch when Ryan moved away but when you’re meant to be destiny will found a way and they found themselves in the same school years later and reconnect. 

If I could describe written in the stars it would be like eating a warm cinnamon roll each layer is just the right amount sweet and gooey, It was just the perfect read. I’ve been waiting to finally read Oliver story since he was first introduced, so obviously I was so excited for it. Can definitely confirm I was not disappointed. It was funny, sweet and couldn’t be perfect story for them their love was definitely written in the stars. Both characters were fantastic but for me Ryan was the character I just love him he’s so adorable and Oliver he was just perfect both were such a treat to read. Also if you been following the series we finally get the ice queen reveal and I gotta say my suspicions were correct can’t wait for the next book it will be juicy 🤗. 

If you love second chances story with great, banter, amazing group of friends and just all around sweet story this definitely for you.

Enemies to Lovers by Alisha Rai

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

This one was was so fun to read. I admit the title attracted me but then I read the blurb and that seal the deal; I mean a fake FBI agent and the daughter of criminals teaming up together what’s not to love. 

This a fast paced, funny but also romantic stor. It was so good I couldn’t put down. The characters were fantastic Sejal and Krish made a great pair, who had  amazing chemistry, the tension, the banter oh it was just perfect, the whole enemies to lovers trope was done so well.

Overall this a great romcom perfect fast paced but entraining read. Definitely recommend 

The incredible Ordinary- Briar Prescott

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

I’m always amazed whenever I read a new Briar book, I don’t how she does it but her books are like an addiction i can’t get enough , the story, the characters honestly just everything. For me is a gift to read a Briar book and the incredible ordinary is not the exception the story is anything but ordinary, it was an incredible and delightful read I loved every page of Milan & Jordan’s story. 
This is the story of two different men in different situations but brought together by destiny in a way that both needed, one more than the other. Is a slow burn but in a lighthearted way , the trope strangers/friends/to lovers was done in such way that work worked perfectly because you could feel the shift in their dynamic, the attraction, the confusion, the want I loved how it was written. One of the highlights of the story wasn’t just Milan & Jordan relationship but the family dynamics as a whole I love reading about them and how we should find the incredible on the ordinary and that ordinary can fantastic. 

Overall this one of my top reads of the year as soon I got it i couldn’t stop reading it was truly such a beautiful story. Can’t recommend enough get it!

Let Me show You- Alisha Williams

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

One of my favorite tropes is tutor/player so when I saw the blurb on my feed I needed to read it. Fast forward and have read it now and let just say it one of my favorites reads of this year. Cooper and Blake story exceeded my expectations, I loved everything about it. The story is a bit of slow burn but definitely worth and the spice is so good too. 
Overall a great story and characters. Definitely recommend it.
