 I absolutely loved this book and the cover is so beautiful and eye catching. This is my first time reading a book by this author and will not be my last. This book was everything I could have hoped for and more. I love small town second chance romances and this one hit the mark. I loved Riley and Lu’s story. Can’t wait for the next book!

Easton and some friends from college created an app for “hooking” up. You match with someone for a one night stand and then go your separate ways. No names are given to help keep one’s identity a secret. 

When he meets his hook up he matched with their connection is instant. He wasn’t expecting to want it to be more. With no way of finding her because he doesn’t know her real name. 

Years later she up and appears and things get interesting. Will these two still have that instant connection? 

Looking forward to the next book!

The Cottonwood Cove series is one of my favorites! I love all the characters and getting to see them in the other books. I was so glad to be back in their world. 

I laughed so much my cheeks would hurt. There plenty of sweet and steamy moments. Before the Sunset was exactly what I hoped and more. 

She did it again! Must read!

Just when I thought I couldn’t love this author more she gives us the second installment on in The Summer series. I loved the first book and didn’t think another could compare, boy was I wrong. I am a sucker when it comes to single parent romances and this one hit the mark.

I have just recently discovered this author and I’m so glad I did. This author has got me hooked! I cannot wait to read more of her work. The audio book for this was great and I loved the narrators.  I’m glad I listened to the audiobook because I sure didn’t want to put it down when I couldn’t read. I haven’t read the other books in this series so I’m looking forward to going back and reading them. I enjoyed the story and the characters. The Rebound was a must read.

I just adore this series and the small town feel. Hunter was one character I was excited to read about. His story was so fun and so different than I expected. 

I loved the aspect of the reality dating show. Made me think of shows I’ve watched in the past and how invested I’d get in them. Hunter and Kipton were made for each other. The instant chemistry these two have and the friendship they form made me love them even more. 

Brave Enough was a fast paced, grab your attention read. Loved it!

Loved this book so much! The Love Plot was such a fun read. I enjoyed the characters and the banter. I loved Star and Rafe. 

The first time these two meet Rafe isn’t the nicest person. I loved their second encounter and Star’s free spirit. She kept me laughing. These two don’t have much in common so it was interesting watching the fake dating play out. 

These two had major chemistry and were so cute! 

I loved this book so much!

One of my favorite tropes! Brother’s best friend/ forbidden romance sign me up! After reading the synopsis for this book I knew I had to have it and Nikki Sloane did not disappoint. 

The Good Girl was a HOT fast paced read. These pages sizzled! Must read
