ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 14, 2024

It was always you, babe.

A Slow Burn, Surprise Pregnancy, Second Chance, Rock Star, Standalone Romance from S.L. Scott, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

The hottest rock star in the world walking into my work wasn’t on my bingo card. Speak of the devil .

My soon-to-be ex-husband.

Shane Faris is taller than I remember. Scruffier. More attractive than ever and sporting a sinful smirk that tells me he hears “Yes” too much. Figures.

He offers me the divorce I want, but on one condition . . .

A weekend together, for old times’ sake.

He’s partied his way through time zones, collecting ink on his skin to commemorate events I wasn’t a part of. While I struggled to earn my degrees, Shane chased fame and made memories without me.

It’s time to move on.

So why does his presence cause my heart to kick up a beat and my cheeks to blush when he sends me a wink? I can’t resist him. And he is my husband, after all, if only for a few more days.

When that weekend becomes two lines on a pregnancy test, we must decide whether this is a second chance worth taking together.

••••••

REVIEW: Rockstar Romance/Second Chance Romances/Unexpected Pregnancy tropes aren’t my usual go to reads. I have to be in the mood. And Rockstar Romances are a relatively new trope to me. But I love S.L. Scott’s work, and I’d read the first book in this series (Never Have I Ever) which I loved.

Catalina is a nurse, who loves her job and patients. She’s worked hard to get there, and when an opportunity to buy her own home arises, Cate jumps at the chance. Only problem…. Her husband!!!

Shane is a drummer in a rock band. He’s loving life and all the perks that come with it. Receiving a few messages from a name he hasn’t thought of in a while piques his interest, so he heads out to find out more…..

Cate and Shane have no idea how they are actually married, they connected in high school and had one conversation and a kiss. So both are stunned to find out they are legally married! Who did this? And why? Cate is going to lose her dream home if this doesn’t get sorted. And if the paparazzi find out about Shane and Cate, it’s going to be a media nightmare!! (Shane doesn’t want that for Cate.) Just when you think it’s all going to be ok, Shane up and leaves…. 🤔 and at that point I just wanted to put the story down! I thought there was a connection, I’ll admit I was a little disappointed!

But in the meantime, Shane has been thinking, he’s ready for commitment, he’s ready to claim Cate as his. Only one problem, the way he left, he doesn’t think she will give him another chance! It’s time to up his game if he wants the girl. So how do they proceed?

Well….. Shane proposes a weekend together, then the divorce will be settled and they will be free to go their own ways!

Then the unthinkable happens…. An unplanned pregnancy!! Shane and Cate want kids, but just not yet! Their relationship is being taken slowly, and a child might not be the right thing right this minute. So what happens next?

I did like the two epilogues. They made me smile. And a great way to end a really good book.

The banter between these two had me chuckling, and the chemistry had me reaching for 🧊 😉 it was definitely a he falls first, I feel. And Shane does his best to get Cate to feel the same way.

Will Shane and Cate get their once in a lifetime love? Or will it just be a fun weekend memory? Can they walk away even though it was a fake marriage?

Lots of emotions, medium angst, and me thinking Cate really shouldn’t have given Shane such an easy pass…. maybe a little more grovelling 😉

I didn’t want to give too much away, as I hate reading reviews with huge spoilers. But I will recommend this book if you love the author, and like your romance with a slow burn, but lots of great moments. And I can’t wait to read the next book in the series (and maybe get to see more of Cate/Shane.)

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 1, 2024

She can’t remember. He can’t forget.

~~~

Flat on my back is not how I imagined meeting my new boss and hot-as-sin rock star. But here I am . . .

If I didn’t already have amnesia, I’d be wishing for it now.

In my defense, Laird Faris was only wearing a shameless smirk and a towel wrapped around his chiseled abs when we met.

Brooding.
Devastatingly handsome.
Utterly intolerable.

Naturally, I’m instantly attracted to him.

It’s not only his broad shoulders and gorgeous face that wreck my equilibrium, but also a distinct tattoo on his chest that matches one on my hip.

Our chemistry is off the charts.
Searing kisses make his grumpiness bearable.
Every touch we share is full of fire and flashes of memories, making me wonder if our connection isn’t destiny after all.

But do the secrets he hides behind his icy blue eyes have something to do with the weekend I can’t remember and the past he can’t forget?

•••••••

REVIEW:A second chance at romance it’s not one of my favourite genres, but reading the blurb had me reaching for my kindle to read it. And I’m glad I did…..

They were going to be together forever, that’s what Laird and Poppy had planned, until fate crashed and burned!! Leaving Laird waiting by the tour bus……

A bitter and empty Laird goes through the emotions (all except love, that’s firmly left him!) and for two years he never forgot the girl with the matching tattoo!

Poppy wanted to go with Laird, and maybe if she’s gone with him there and then, she wouldn’t have gotten into a car crash! Waking with amnesia, Poppy forgot all about the love waiting for her…..

We skip two years…..

Fate brings the couple back together, Laird wants to know why she didn’t return to him? When he finds out she has amnesia and that’s why she didn’t come with him. Laird sets about making Poppy fall for him all over again. But he’s facing a dilemma! Does he blurt out they knew each other before, or does he let nature take its course?

Such an amazing read. I fell in love with Laird from almost the beginning (Poppy took a little longer!)

Quote from the book “She can’t remember. I can’t forget.” 😌

It’s a little slow burn at first, but we definitely get the heat as the book progresses 😉

Poppy is a chef to the stars, Laird is hiding from the world in a cabin. And when they meet, Laird is angry that Poppy doesn’t remember him! They argue, she leaves, he rescues her, they have a tentative truce!

Fate brings the couple back together, Laird wants to know why she didn’t return to him? When he finds out she has amnesia and that’s why she didn’t come with him. Laird sets about making Poppy fall for him all over again. But he’s facing a dilemma! Does he blurt out they knew each other before, or does he let nature take its course?

As time goes by, Poppy gets snippets of her past! Will she remember what they had together?

“𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙚, 𝙋𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙮. 𝙏𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙄’𝙢 𝙣𝙤 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪.”

It’s part of a series, I’ve not read any of the others, but I’ve now added them to my TBR list 😉

A great read, and one I highly recommend.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 10, 2022.

It started with a kiss.

Admittedly, it was a moment of weakness on my part. But even the strong-willed have been known to fall for a hard body underneath a tailored suit and a five o’clock shadow coating a sharp jawline.

It didn’t matter that Jackson St. James was nothing but trouble. Trouble was just my type.

Been there.
Done him.
Not making that mistake again.

We were friends, a low-key affair we designed ourselves—over before we began. After all, together we made no sense.

Jackson is into sports. I prefer the arts.
He gulps beer. I sip champagne.
While I might not be described as humble, his arrogance is through the roof.

But when he asks if we can talk, my traitorous Louboutins come to a full stop. Although I’ve seen enough movies to know how these conversations go, maybe, just maybe, he’ll surprise me.

He has before . . .

We may have started with a kiss, but how will we end?

•••••

REVIEW:It started with a kiss….

A cute little RomCom that will have you sighing one moment, then rolling your eyes at both the main characters antics! Comedy moments are plenty, banter and great scenes will face to rapidly turning pages to find out what happens next.

I fell in love with both Marlow and Jackson. He’s successful, he’s a bit of a player, but he’s a stead fast friend to Marlow. Marlow is struggling to make ends meet, and when she’s evicted from her home on New Year’s Eve there is only one person she can turn too…

Friends to lovers story that is low on angst. Really nicely done. I couldn’t put the book down until it was done.

Reading how Jackson wants more than just friends with benefits, but with Marlow having financial and family issues it makes her wary of giving more to Jackson. But he’s patient, he’s not going anywhere, he’ll prove to Marlow that he’s here for her forever.

The side characters were great, they will have you hoping to read more of their lives at some point.

So if your looking for a story that’s low on angst, but with plenty of banter and hot times, then grab It started with a kiss, you’ll be glad you did. I was, and I’ll be rereading it again and again.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 25, 2022

The storm.
The man.

Both come without warning.

My heart opens to Cooper Haywood the moment we meet. How can it resist? He’s charming, devastatingly handsome, and sweeps me off my feet before I realize the impact he’s making. And then it’s too late.

We fall too fast to worry about the consequences.
We love so hard that we ache when we’re apart.

Even though I have a past that still haunts me and he has a future that could put us at risk, none of that matters when we’re together.

Until it does.
And then everything changes.

Although the best thing he ever gave me now calls me Mommy, I can’t help but wonder if Cooper Haywood and that fateful storm were one and the same.

••••••

REVIEW:This is a new author to me and one I’d not heard of before. This story is told in three parts no cliffhanger, and as Cooper likes to quote its his life before and after meeting Story.

Cooper Haywood has it all, but he’s constantly fighting with his family, he’s generous, thoughtful and genuine (not at all like his family) I liked we got to see his side of the story.

Story Salenger is a great character, not coming from a great background it’s made her see things in a different light, but I wouldn’t call her bitter, she’s resilient, she’s resourceful and she was great to read about.

There is drama, heartache and sadness. But there is also joy, love (of a different kind) and we get to see how each character has grown through the book.

First part of the book: I loved, it told of their story, how close and how wrapped up in one another they were (almost instalove feel)
Second part of the book: I found a little slower and a bit repetitive.

The third and final part of this book: Not nearly as long as I would of liked. But when they finally catch up with one another, I couldn’t put it down.

Secrets and hidden pasts weren’t really necessary in my opinion (felt they were for drama purposes) the storyline was strong enough to carry it without them.

So will I recommend this book? Definitely. It’s really well written, thought out and carried out with lots of care and consideration.

I’m going to add this author to my ever growing list of new and to watch authors.
