The Bet, an all new hilarious opposites attract standalone rom com from New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe is available now!   Louisa’s 4 Blush Review After reading Red, White and You (which was part of Broody Billionaire : The Wes Lancaster Collection) I knew that I would be loving the Winslow Brothers stories.  The Winslow boys are brothers of Winnie (Married to Wes).  This is a stand-alone but I would suggest getting to know the whole Billionaire gang first.  ...

#AudibleReview ~~ The Stand-In by Lily Chu

Rating: The Stand-In by Lily Chu Narrated by: Phillipa Soo Louisa’s 5 Blush Audible Review There is so much to this audible that I loved. The story…kinda/sorta a fake relationship.  Gracie is tasked with pretending she’s a famous actress (who she looks like) so the famous actress can get a break from the crazy world of being a famous actress.  She is offered lots of money (which she needs because she lost her job and needs to help pay for her mother who has Alzheimer’s).  She gets to pretend to be a famous actress and hang out with one of...

Review ~~ Serves Me Wright by KA Linde

Rating: Louisa’s 4.5 Blush Review I know I say it every time a read a KA Linde book but seriously – this is my favorite one of this series. KA Linde packed a lot into this story – we get Julian and Jennifer – friends to lovers, a fake relationship and so much more. Julian’s fresh off of his break up with Ashleigh (who we, unfortunately, met in Jordan’ and Annie’s book Wright With Benefits.  She’s conniving and an all-around mean girl.  Julian is done with her but she’s not quite done messing with julian. Jennifer has had feelings for...

#5BlushAlert~~The Second Blind Son by Amy Harmon

Rating: Tera’s 5 Blush Review What can I possibly say about The Second Blind Son to convince you to read it? The words fall short because Amy Harmon used every good one left for this book. I absolutely LOVED The First Girl Child… I LOVE The Second Blind Son even more. I wondered if this story would feel just like The First Girl Child as it essentially takes place during the same timeline, but is an entirely different perspective. It does not have the same feel at all. It is a completely unique story that ties in beautifully with the...

#TheWeddingDateSeries~~While We Were Dating by Jasmine Guillory

Rating: Two people realize that it’s no longer an act when they veer off-script in this sizzling romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory. Ben Stephens has never bothered with serious relationships. He has plenty of casual dates to keep him busy, family drama he’s trying to ignore and his advertising job to focus on. When Ben lands a huge ad campaign featuring movie star, Anna Gardiner, however, it’s hard to keep it purely professional. Anna is not just gorgeous and sexy, she’s also down to earth and considerate, and he can’t help flirting a little… Anna Gardiner is...

#AudibleReview~~Where it all Lands by Jennie Wexler

Rating: Louisa’s 4 Blush Audible Review I typically do not read YA but this audible caught my eye.  The “What if’s” in life are what this book is about.  How 2 boys made a decision to flip a coin to see who would ask out the new girl and with each side, there was a totally different story. I wouldn’t say this is a love triangle but there is a question as to who Stevie “should be” with.  I had my favorite but that doesn’t really matter because in the end – Stevie was with the one she should have...
