Rating: 4 Groupie Stars

Cold as Ice was another great read in The Lakeshore U series.

I’ve been waiting and so curious about this book. It didn’t disappoint. The author really took me on a journey.

 Austin has been the most stand off ish and curious character so far. He was a hurt character who I needed to no more about. He is so complex and didn’t want anyone end read him. So Maddison coming in had a rough ride where he was concerned. Neither character whined anything serious but It was still full of angst.

I loved watching their characters grow and sort through all their baggage together and grew together.

Another great book.

ENCHANTING THE CEO

Layla Hagen

Release Date: January 26

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED

 

  She’s a white-picket-fence kind of girl, but I only do casual. My first mistake? Asking her to be my roommate.   Gabe When someone’s down on their luck, I like to help out. Diane needed a place to stay, and my attic was empty. How hard could it be to have a temporary roommate? It turns out—very hard.   Living with her is turning out to be physically impossible. Every time she saunters through the living room, I can’t help but want her. Whenever she gives me sass, I fantasize about kissing that mouth until she begs for more. But she is my employee’s sister and that is a line I can’t cross…or can I? Diane At first I was a little leery about accepting Gabe’s offer, because he’s my sister’s boss. But Gabe is the best. He’s not only generous and fun (and hot!), but also considerate. One night after dinner in the city he does the gentlemanly thing and walks me to my door — only, I manage to stumble, rip my dress and flash him my various lady parts. It’s a full-on disaster! Or so I think.   The man gives me the hottest kiss of my life— toe curling, sparks-flying, panty-melting hot. Even though I’ve just been through the break-up from hell, I can’t resist his charms.   But I don’t want to embarrass my sister by getting involved with Gabe. Besides, he and I want different things in life.   Just this once, though, I’d love to throw caution to the wind…   Grab Your Copy!

Gabe is the stereotypical CEO. He’s a millionaire, workaholic who doesn’t want to settle down. Then Gabe meets Diana, who is recently single and a white picket fence girl. 

These two had so much chemistry! I loved that the author is always so good at giving the perfect mix of steam and sweet! I love the world of the Whitley brothers and I was so happy to get more from them!! 

Though the CEO troupe is done a lot, Layla has the ability to keep the readers interest and make me fall in love with her characters! 

I honestly can’t wait to see who Grandma Jeanie sets her sights on setting up next!

Review Blitz: Damage Goods by L.J. Shen

 

Title: Damaged Goods

Series: All Saints High #4

Author: L.J. Shen

Genre: New Adult Romance

Tropes: Friends to Enemies to Lovers/Football Romance

Release Date: January 23, 2024

BLURB

From L.J. Shen, the USA Today bestselling author of Pretty Reckless, comes a brand new book in the All Saints series.

Underneath the goody two-shoes persona is damaged goods…but can the bad boy across the street save her?

Bailey Followhill is the perfect daughter. Sweet. Charitable. Pretty. Control freak. Not a hair out of place, not an inch out of line, she is everything her troublemaking sister Daria isn't. But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes. She's becoming a piece of gossip. The Troubled Child. A drug abuser. No longer the girl her best friend once knew.

Lev Cole is so golden, he's got the Midas Touch. Prized quarterback. Football captain. Hottest guy in SoCal. A textbook cliché. But with a girlfriend he doesn't love and a career path he doesn't value, Lev is coasting.

The only two things he cares about, Bailey and becoming a pilot, are out of reach.

But Lev is done being satisfied with the life others have chosen for him. He wants to pick his own cards. To demolish the seamless kingdom of lies his family stitched together on the ruins his mother left behind.

The question is, can he save his best friend and his dream before too much damage is done?

Another LJ shen book that absolutely hits the spot. 
This was up with the best of her books for me. It was a sweet journey through out but along the way is absolutely heartbreaking moments as well. 
The book was full to the max with angst that I can never get enough of. 
This book was slightly different to the authors books as there is suspicion throughout the story as well as beautiful complicated moments.
I really enjoyed it

REVIEW

Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars

Hands down my favorite of the series!!

Second chance at love is my favorite type of romance.

I love a story good meddling jealous female trying to get with him.

Our man didn't want more than friendship but she was on a serious mission. A mission that caused years of separation and heartache for our couple.

But when their eyes met their hearts reconnected and the anger faded the hurt lessened and I sat back enjoying every minute.

Add some drama, some danger and that love from the crazy circus family making it a great story.

Can't wait for more I am really enjoying this series.

This book hit all the right notes. It was definitely a book I couldn’t put down and binged on.

I’ve read all the authors books and this one is up there with the best of the best. Very well written.

I feel in love with Via and Reid. I loved the “older” women aspect as I’ve never read a book like that Reid having his own journey together and personally  

I loved the depth of Reid’s character and really getting in to his inner thoughts.

Overall the story was beautiful written story and well written.
