Book Review: Man Hunt by Vanessa Vale

Man Hunt (On a Manhunt #1)Man Hunt by Vanessa Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love a good insta-love story on the shorter side of a book. And this one fit the bill. Bridget is the somewhat nerdy girl who loves numbers. Maverick is the CEO in town to figure out why his construction project isn’t going as planned. A spilled iced coffee later, Maverick finds out the girl who spilt her coffee on him is his employee. This is a kind of re-telling of 16 Candles, only older characters and a much more dirty “Jake”. Bridget accidentally emailed her answers to a survey from her best friend to her boss instead of to her friend. This kick started it all. Perfect amount of humor, lust/love, and misunderstanding. This was a great story and a good start for a new series. I love Bridget’s friend group (her sister and her best friend) as well as all of Maverick’s brothers. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Book Review: Keep This Promise by Corinne Michaels

Keep This Promise (Rose Canyon, #3)Keep This Promise by Corinne Michaels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third and final book in the Rose Canyon series. You do not need to read the first two to understand this one, but they’re both good so I recommend them anyway. There’s also a continuing storyline that connects all three but enough is explained in this one to understand it.

I was emotional during Spencer and Brielle’s story, had my heart broken and pieced back together during Emmett and Blakely’s story so I imagined I’d have much of the same during this one. However, this one took me on a completely different roller coaster ride.

This book begins a little before the last book ends. However, those added chapters lead up to the end of Book 2 and are told from Sophie’s POV. I loved Holden, Sophie, and Eden. Also, Mama James is one of my favorite characters in this book; I love her sass. As for the villain in this book? I knew something was a little “off” about them but couldn’t put my finger on it. But, then the reveal that they were the bad guy in the story… it solidified that my gut instinct was right.

There is a new series coming as a tie in to this one. I’m not sure if my heart is ready for that one yet… Only time will tell.

Book Review: Stroke of Midnight by Bella Lane

Stroke of Midnight: Halloween Party Series (AB Shared World)Stroke of Midnight: Halloween Party Series by Bella Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love short and sweet little reads. This one was both with a little bit of mystery and danger thrown in.

Roman and Jessi had a one night stand, which was never supposed to be a one night stand to Roman, years ago. He left quickly and never told Jessi why (but why didn’t anyone else explain it to her?), but now he’s back and ready to make things right. However, Jessi is in a tough spot and needs the help of the police. Enter the new police chief – Roman.He must now keep her safe, solve the mystery, and earn her trust back. It seems like a lot; can he achieve it all in this book?
