#Review ~~ Stealing Cinderella by A. Zavarelli

Rating: STEALING CINDERELLA by A. Zavarelli Release Date: April 2nd Stephanie’s 4.5 Blush Review Ashleigh Zavarelli brings us a “Cinderella” story with a dark twist. It is complete with a brooding prince and an evil stepmother. Stealing Cinderella is heart-stopping at times and filled with raw emotions. There is one scene in particular that comes to mind (no spoilers), where I was completely floored! I had to put the book down for a few minutes! Thorsen (Thor) is the Crown Prince of Norway and next in line to be King. He is so dark and demanding. Life has brought...

#Review ~~ You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

Rating: You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle LOUISA’S 4.5 BLUSH REVIEW I love finding a new author and an original storyline. These two characters, Naomi and Nicholas are engaged to be married but the spark just isn’t there anymore. And neither wants to be the one to pull the trigger to end the engagement…bring on the silliness! This book had me laughing out loud at the antics and banter between these two. One minute they wanted to strangle each other and the next they almost couldn’t stop laughing at each other’s tricks to annoy the other! Their antics...

#BlogTour #FiveBlushRead ~~ Southern Storms by Brittainy C. Cherry

Rating: Even the town’s black sheep needed a friend sometimes Southern Storms, an all-new, small town second chance romance from Brittainy C. Cherry, is available now! Louisa’s 5 Blush Review Brittainy Cherry is a genius. She continues to write books that captivate me with her unique and intriguing characters and Jax and Kennedy fit that bill perfectly. He’s a “bad boy”, the town “asshole” and she’s a damaged/broken girl who’s relocated to be closer to her sister after a tragedy. How two people who you would never have seen helping each other together can heal each other is beautiful....

#AvailableNow~~Where the Truth Lives by Mia Sheridan

Rating: Title: Long Lost Author: Cora Brent Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance Release Date: March 11, 2020 Kerry’s 3 Blush Review I’m new to Cora Brent.

Both had some trouble in their home life that just ripped their worlds apart. Caris didn’t let her troubled experiences in her life make her unable to see the good in people.

The Trade by Meghan Quinn

Rating: TRADE by Meghan Quinn Release Date: March 12th Genre: Contemporary Romance Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51147294-the-trade Louisa’s 4 Blush Review We were given these two characters in previous books in this series and I wanted Cory’s story sooo bad and Meghan Quinn has gifted us with his story. Natalie is Jason’s sister and we also met her The Line-Up. The mixing of these two characters was serendipitous. Cory is known for his excellent skills on the field and has absolutely no interest in being in a relationship until he starts to see his teammates and friends start to...
