Review:

My Forever Plus-One by Shannyn Schroeder is book three which is also a standalone book in the Daring Divorcees Series. Evelyn Rhodes and Owen Hanson are best friends who met in a divorcee support group.  They have been each other’s plus-one, through thick and thin for a few years now. Always relying on the other in times of need and always having each other to fall back on. They end up sustaining their friendship even with a few bumps in the road. But can their friendship withstand taking it to the next level? 

 Evelyn is a tv producer and Owen is a fire fighter – and over time their friendship has changed into something more. Evelyn didn’t start to think of Owen in any way other than friendship until last summer when their New Beginnings group leader, Nina, suggested that they should be more than friends.  Ever since then she started to see him in a whole different light.  Even though they each have some issues to work through in their relationship they eventually get there in the most heart warming way! 

The concept of this series is amazing. A divorcee support group that meets each week and where each character that is there gets their own story. This is a new to me concept which I just fell in love with! And even though I have come in late to the show, I will be going back and reading the other books in the series.

This book was light hearted, warm and caring! All the feels you want from a friendship turn lover’s story! Throw in how hilarious Owen’s mom Carol is and you have yourself an amazing read!

Review:

My Best Friend’s Ex is book two in the  Daring Divorcees Series by Shannyn Schroeder.

Trevor Booth has lost everything, due to his alcoholism. Ten years ago his ex -wife Lisa divorced him. Since then, he has struggled to get his life back on track, and come to terms that he will never get back what he has lost! While he is weekend dad to two teenagers, his ex-wife has been texting asking him to step up and deal with their sons disrespectful attitude. The next call he gets changes everything. Lisa has died in a car accident.  This completely changes Trevor’s world. 

In coming together to pay respects to his ex-wife, he coMes face to face with his ex-wife’s best friend Callie.  When Trevor is forced to take on the full-time parent role. He admittedly acknowledges that he doesn’t have clue about raising children. Callie is reeling from the fact that she has lost her best friend. She is not going to lose Lisa’s kids also. Callie feels obligated to step up and be there for Lisa’s children.

In the process, Trevor and Callie begin to realize that they have feelings for each other. And both also feel disloyal to Lisa in the feelings that they feel. They also don’t want the kids to know anything until they are sure things will work out! But they are teenagers – they already knew!

Trevor is hard working, loyal and honest.  I enjoyed him coming into his own as a single parent. And even when he doubts that he can do it – he does!

Callie is a world traveller and is always on the move. When she loses her best friend, she makes the decision that she can’t lose the only pieces of Lisa she has left!

I enjoyed how the relationship developed and couldn’t stop reading well into the night! I needed to know what was going to happen next! Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend as a great summer read.

One Night With a Millionaire by Shannyn Schroeder – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo 

 

Description:
Over-forty, single mom Tess Howland’s life is all about caring for other people. Indulging in a one night stand is just what she needs. She doesn’t expect to meet anyone she would introduce to her kids, especially not some rich playboy who acts like a big kid himself. Even if he keeps giving her the best sex of her life.

Millionaire Miles Prescott can’t get the sexy nurse he met at a fundraising gala out of his head. For the first time ever, he doesn’t want a woman with no-strings-attached. He wants everything—even it comes with a ready-made family with a woman in her forties. Suddenly, helping with homework doesn’t sound like the worst thing in the world, especially if it means being near Tess.

But what happens when he’s ready to step up and she says no?

 

 

Review:

One Night With the Millionaire by Shannyn Schroder is the first book in her new Daring Divorcees series. Tess Howland is our heroine, and we meet her from the start; she is a nurse, as well as a divorcee with three kids. She is attending the Saint Marks Gala, an annual fund raiser for her hospital, and makes her rounds to convince people to donate to Saint Marks. 

Miles Prescott, is a millionaire playboy, who attends this gala to please his mother and sister, who run their company, and expect Miles to step up and have a more active role; especially with their father having passed away a year ago.  He notices a woman who immediately gets his attention, and makes sure to introduce himself to Tess.  Miles knows how to attract woman, and Tess enjoys the attention he gives her.  Tess is a workaholic, and has little time for herself caring for her three kids.  But she decides since she is free, to have a one night stand with the handsome Miles.  One night only.  Best laid plans do not always work out.

Miles is not willing to let Tess go, as he enjoys her company, not to mention the sex.  He sees in Tess, a woman different then his other woman, and perhaps a future, but can he convince her to allow him to be part of her life?  In a short time, their relationship will heat up, and Tess cannot resist the hot sex with Miles.  Tess tries to keep their relationship private, but Miles wants more.  In time she will relent and have him meet her kids, who end up liking Miles.

What follows is a sweet, fun story with both slowly falling in love, but Miles will begin to become frustrated in his attempt to convince Tess that he wants a more permanent relationship with her and with her children.  Tess after her nasty divorce pushed herself to be independent, self sufficient, and refuses to allow Miles, who is rich, to help.  Will Miles be able to change Tess’s mind?

One Night with the Millionaire was a fun read, and wonderful characters, including Tess’s friends, children and Miles’s mother and sister.  Shannyn Schroeder once again gives us a sweet romance that keeps us unable to put the book down.  I look forward to reading more from this new series.
