Faking Fore-ever by Abby Greyson review

 Not going to lie I mostly picked up Faking Fore-Ever because of the husky. As a husky owner Bogey did not disappoint. I love the chaotic the husky bought to the story. I know nothing about golf but I still enjoyed that part of the story. I enjoyed Luke and Genevieve banter. As well as seeing the healing in this second chance romances. Though to me Bogey stole the book.

Mists over the Channel Islands by Sarah Sundin Review

 

I've not read many books set on one of the Channel Island before, in fact before this one I've read one other.  Both of which were set during WWII and that makes sense because the Channel Islands during the war have multiple stories that just need to be told.  And I'm glad that Sarah Sundin choose to set her final book in the companion series about three Dutch cousins on the Island of Jersey as well as giving a woman doctor in a time when it was still rare to have one.  Even though Sundin only writes WWII fiction the books never get old because she always finds a new setting that seems to have never been done before to tell a new story and a new bit of real life history from the war.

Could've Fooled Me by Jenny Proctor

 

One of my favorite romance troupes is marriage-of-convenience which isn't super common in contemporary romance but throw in hockey and a former Apies player as the hero I'm hooked. I also wondered what had, had happened to Carter and his twin.  Could've fooled Me answers that one.   Carter's such a sweetheart and Sarah just loves her family, though I have to say I can't believe her brother did what he did.  Though one of my micro troupes is when the heroine doesn't like hockey and ends up dating a hockey player or in Sarah's case married.  And I'm also here for the brother bond the hockey players have on and off the ice. And hockey fan me loved the reference to my real life favorite player.

I liked that this one was one of Jenny's more serious books but her trade mark humor was still there. I also found myself relating to Sarah with the mom aspect. When you and the heroine belong to the same club no wants to belong to it’s hard not to relate and love her. Carter might be a tough hockey player on the ice but he's really a cinnamon roll. My favorite hockey rom com hero tough on the ice and a cinnamon roll with her.

Review of Last to Fall by Lynn H Blackburn Review

 While I did think this was a good wrap up to the series and a whole and I loved the suspense I thought that relationship between Bronwyn  and Mo was a little rushed. I mean I know that they were friendships first, in a high school relationship before Bronwyn ran off.  However, as a reader I still think they jumped into the relationship deep end before fully looking and the past and working out those issues before basically skipping dating and going into marriage.  I still gave this one a four star because I enjoyed the overall aspect of the book.

Try for Love by Dana Lecheminant review

 Not going to lie I’ve never read a sports rom that was about rugby. And as an American I’m also not afraid to admit I know nothing about rugby. So Try for Love gave me a crash course in rugby as well as a sweet sports rom com. I loved the banter between Logan and Savannah. But her cat was something else. As a cat owner I have to say the cat was spot on.

The Neighbor Playbook by Kristine W Joy reivew

 

I’ve been a college basketball fan since birth. However, I’ve never read a basketball rom com before because I’ve been worried that an author wouldn’t do it justice. But The Neighbor Playbook by Kristine W Joy was the perfect first basketball rom com for me. As a basketball fan the basketball parts were researched and kept me in the story but more importantly it was not overwhelming that it wouldn’t keep non basketball fan from enjoying the book. The banter between Nicole and Dominic kept me turning pages. And I loved watching their relationship develop. And I have to say the meet cute was interesting and I’m not going to lie it took me a bit to warm up to Nicole’s dog. But I still loved this one.
