P

Series: #My New Life

Release Date: December 22nd, 2017

<strong>Synopsis:</strong>
Joie Stevens put all her dreams on hold the day she became a mom. As a natural caretaker, it never bothered her. But now that her son is grown, she has some new goals in sight and nothing is going to get in her way.
Except maybe an attractive football coach. Who very literally gets in her way.

As assistant football coach for the Flinton State University Vikings, Jack Pride really has nothing to complain about. He has a job he loves and friends he enjoys. Certain he had his one true love in his late wife, the last thing on his mind is dating.

Until he runs into a beautiful non-traditional student. Who he very literally runs into.

This second chance romance reminds us love can be better the second time around. And that it’s not just players in the game…

Sweet Home, A Series by Tillie Cole

S

About the Series

I have a weakness for cliché contemporary romances, especially books with an alpha male, a strong female lead, and an awesome romantic story. Also, since this book was based on the famous Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet, I had to read Sweet Home. It’s up to the reader to see if these reincarnations of Romeo and Juliet finally get their HEA.

The review of the series includes reviews on each of the following books (listed in order of release):

Note: The review of Sweet Rome may discuss spoilers from the first book since they are companion novels. Books 2-5 in this series are Standalone.

The Selection, A Series by Kiera Cass

About the Series

The Selection series has been an awesome adventure and started out as a girl already in love being forced to participate in a competition she wanted nothing with. But throughout these three books, we’ve witnessed America stand her ground for what she believes in, fight for those who cannot fight for themselves, and truly find herself.

The Selection is a series to read again, and lucky us, Kiera Cass is releasing a companion series, continuing America’s story through her daughter in The Heir.

The review of the series includes reviews on each of the following books (listed in order of release):

Note: The review of the second and third books may discuss spoilers from the first (and second) book(s).

Reboot, A Series by Amy Tintera

About the Series

If you like reverse-gender roles (the heroine is the physical badass, while the hero is the one who possesses EQ) and complex heroines, this is the series for you!

The Reboot series uniquely employs the Romeo and Juliet trope by having the heroine be the most accomplished Reboot while the hero is the least impressive (and most human) Reboot. The action, conspiracies, and slow-burn romance make Reboot and its sequel, Rebel, page-turners.

The review of the series includes reviews on each of the following books (listed in order of release):

Note: The review of the second book may discuss spoilers from the first book.

Stage Dive, A Series by Kylie Scott

About the Series

Kylie Scott’s Stage Dive series is based on the theme: what happens in Vegas stays there. But everyone knows that what happens doesn’t always stay there. And how true for the first couple of the Stage Dive series, Evelyn and David!

I’m happy to say that I get to add another series centred around a famous band, and these books are definitely worth a re-read or two. Each story is unique and hints at those frequented plots (married in Vegas, pretend couple and unrequited love) but with their own creative twists!

The review of the series includes reviews on each of the following books (listed in order of release):

Note: Each novel in this series is Standalone.
