This book was a page turner and I did not want to put it down. I like that the book was told in duel POV I feel like it makes you know the characters on a more personal level. It was fun and flirty! It kept you intrigued with their opposites attract and...

#AudibleReview #FiveBlushReview ~~ Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score

Rating: Maggie Moves On  by Lucy Score, Emma Wilder (Narrator) Louisa’s 5 Blush Audible Review  My first Lucy Score book, and I listened to the Audible!  In the middle of listening, I went to Amazon and got another Lucy Score book because I love this author’s writing.  Buyer beware – it’s written in 3rd person, which isn’t my favorite, but OMG, Maggie and Silas were AH-MAZ-ING!! Silas, the hot landscaper, is remarkable.  Many might find him a bit pushy and presumptuous, but I loved that he KNEW that he and Maggie were meant to be and never lost sight of that.  Maggie...

Review Tour ~~ The Boss Project by Vi Keeland

  Title: The Boss Project Author: Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Release Date: July 11, 2022 Louisa’s 4 Blush Review I will forever love all Vi Keeland books.  She has the ability to write characters that I love and admire. Merrick and Evie are great together – it takes some time for them to figure that out but watching them figure it out was a lot of fun.  They have a great first meeting, and it begins with banter between these two is epic. This friendship morphs more slowly, but it was the perfect amount of slow burn. Merricks...

#Review ~~ On One Condition (S.I.N. #2) by K. Bromberg 

Rating: On One Condition (S.I.N. #2) by K. Bromberg    Louisa’s 4.5 Blush Review  Oh, these Sharpe boys get better and better with each book!  K. Bromberg’s S.I.N. series is exactly what this reader loves about romance. Ledger is the oldest Sharpe brother, the one their father expected the most from, the one he groomed to take over.  Their father wasn’t the best man, and when it came to Asher, it was evident. Ledger and Asher met as teenagers, spending summers together and experiencing their firsts together until Ledger’s father intervened. I LOVE LOVE LOVE a second chance romance and...

#FiveBlushReview ~~ Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings

Rating: Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Edding I read Mazey Edding’s first book, A Brush with Love, and found a new author to love.  She’s local to me, and that, for some reason, makes me like her even more! I was so excited to see that Lizzie was getting her own book, as I loved her in A Brush with Love. Lizzie is a unique character, but honestly, IRL, she’s like many of us.  Maybe a bit too loud, talk too much, and is a bit scattered at times.  As a mother of a child with ADD, I can...

#Review ~~ One Night with the Duke by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Rating: One Night with the Duke Belmore Square #1 by Jodi Ellen Malpas Christina’s 3 Blush Review One Night with the Duke is a sweet, Regency-era book about a young woman, dissatisfied with society’s expectations of her and longing to be more than just a wife to a man that doesn’t really see her. Her betrothed is a stiff, unyielding man whom she doesn’t love. Enter Johnny Winters. Mysterious, illustrious, forbidden Johnny Winters. Their slow burn was on point for the time period and not rushed. I felt her longing and desire to be with Johnny, but his hesitancy to “ruin...

#Review ~~ The Boy with the Bookstore

Rating: The Boy With the Bookstore When a baker meets the bookshop owner of her dreams, and he turns into her nemesis, they’ll both have to read between the lines to avoid a career-ending recipe for disaster. Max Boyson looks good…from a distance. But up close and personal, the tattooed hottie Joelle Prima has been crushing on for the past year and half has turned into the prime example of why you shouldn’t judge a book by his delectable cover. When she first learned about the massive renovation to the building they share, Joelle imagined that temporarily combining her Filipino...
