#ReleaseDay #FiveBlushReview ~~ The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez Forever (Grand Central Publishing) Pub Date 11 Jun 2019 Louisa’s 5 Blush Review My blog partner brought this book to my attention and I am so glad I decided to read it too. It’s hard to believe that this is Abby Jimenez’s debut novel as it reads as a seasoned authors work! The initial interaction between Kristen and Josh sucked me in and didn’t let go. Their banter was great – their friendship, their genuine “like” of each other was fantastic. As their friendship grew into more – they never lost the “friend”...

#ReleaseDay #Review ~~ The Bride Test by @HHoangWrites

Sandy’s 4.75 Blush Review I read The Kiss Quotient and fell in love with Helen Hoang’s writing. When The Bride Test landed on my kindle, I could not wait to dive in. Esme Train is responsible for her grandmother, mother and little daughter. A very heavy load for a young woman to bear. Until one serendipitous day, when an offer too good to refuse lands in her lap. All she has to do is go to America, meet Khai Diep, a handsome, wealthy, successful man and seduce him. No big deal right? Just get him to fall in love with...

#AvailableNow~~The Something About Her by Rachel Higginson

Rating: Sandy’s 4 Blush Review Here we are! The Something About Her is the finale to the “Opposites Attract” series. It does not disappoint. On the outside, Dillon Baptiste seems to have it all together. Looks can be deceiving because on the inside she is a mass of insecurity and self doubt. We know from the introduction that Dillon Baptiste has been through some stuff. Dillon’s brother and restauranteur extraordinaire, Ezra, has “given” the Executive Chef position at Bianca to her. Bianca is failing. Fresh out of culinary school with talent but not much experience, is Dillon up to the...
