Book Review: Hot CEO Summer by Kameron Claire

Hot CEO Summer by Kameron Claire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hot CEO Summer is part of a multi-author Hot H.E.A. Summer series. This story also accompanies Kameron’s Hot Maui Nights.

Rivka is Sariah’s friend from work (Sariah is the female main from Hot Maui Nights). While on their company getaway to Maui, they each have their own flings with the men that they’re lusting after. This story takes us on Rivka’s weekend tryst.

Rivka is young and working for Braedon, her father’s fraternity brother. They have each had a crush on the other since they met when she was 19 years old.

Age gap romances don’t bother me as long as they are well written and believable. This one checked both of those boxes.

Book Review: Tempting the Teacher by Kameron Claire

Tempting the Teacher by Kameron Claire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 3 of the Grayson Enterprises Series. This book features Alisha Grayson and a secondary character from the second book - Dr. Stephen Lancaster. I was actually surprised that Alisha ended up with the professor, but their story made me a believer in them.

Alisha, wanting to be more than a pretty face, gets more responsibility from her brothers. Her first task is to plan an event for the company. Her partner in planning the event? Regan’s from book 2, Stephen Lancaster. I was afraid it would be revealed that he was crushing on Regan but instead he got his own romance with Alisha.

I really loved how these two were written. Of the 3 books, this one was my favorite. As for how quickly they can be read? I read all 3 within 3 days. They aren’t very long and good for a quick read.

Book Review: Enticing the Ex by Kameron Claire

Enticing the Ex by Kameron Claire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the Grayson Enterprises Series. This book focuses on Derrick’s brother, Brett.

Brett Grayson and Regan were young loves and got married. She wanted a different life and he wanted to remain where he was. There was some miscommunication between the two (seems to be a trend with those Grayson boys) and they ended in divorce. Over a decade later, she returns to town to help her company make a deal with Brett’s company.

This is one of my favorite second chance stories. Brett and Regan had me convinced they were soulmates from the get go, even if they messed it all up with their immaturity before. I also loved a better glimpse into the Grayson family as a whole. I feel like those family relationships are important to the Graysons so I like that they were incorporated into the book.

Book Review: Bedding the Boss by Kameron Claire

Bedding the Boss by Kameron Claire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jessica is a hard working over achiever who puts her career before all else. Derrick Grayson had been in that situation before and knew he now wanted both the career and a life. He is enthralled by his BIL’s boss, Jessica and goes undercover as an employee just to get close to her.

This is a great story about finding the balance between work and love. The two mains have some miscommunication for a while, but they eventually work on it. I love that Jessica is a strong female lead and not just another “needs saving” heroine.

I love Kameron’s stories because they give me a quick fix for romance, steam, and a good story. I’m never disappointed and can usually finish them quickly. I love this little family and can’t wait to learn more about Derrick’s family.

Book Review: You Weren't Mine Then by Lily Baines

You Weren't Mine Then by Lily Baines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finn and Anne/Jane’s story is my favorite of the Riviera View series. I absolutely loved their story. This is a story full of angst and slow burn. Finn captures your heart as the guy who does what is right. Jane is the sweet girl who always puts others before herself.

Finn and Jane became friends in high school when she tutored him. Years later they shared an incredible week together and believed they had a future together… until they didn’t. Finn’s recent past caught up with them and kept them apart for over a decade. But, does true love ever really die?

The two meet again. Jane now goes by her middle name, Anne and Finn decides to throw caution to the wind and try to win back his true love.

I enjoyed reading their story, past and present, from both points of view. The secondary characters really made the story. I enjoyed the tidbits from the previous books’ characters. Max, Finn’s son, is the sweetest kid ever. And don’t get me started on Avery. I wasn’t a fan of hers in the second book and I definitely couldn’t stand her in this one. However, I also want to know her story… and meet a man who can actually tame her.

Book Review: Tight Ends & Tiaras by Lex Martin

Tight Ends & Tiaras by Lex Martin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in Lex Martin’s Varsity Dads series. I have not read book 1 (but it is on my TBR after reading this one), but I do not feel like I was lost when reading this one. There was mention of the characters and basic story from that one but nothing that would leave you with a “WTF?”.

I was invested from the very beginning of this book. These characters were written where you knew you wanted them together. You knew there was going to be some slow burn. But, you didn’t care because you knew the payoff was going to be worth it. {Spoiler: It was.}

Sienna had been dating the player of the college football team. She heard the rumors, but she didn’t believe them. Ben is her best friend and former roommate's brother. Things for Sienna go south when her flight to visit her family is canceled. Luckily (for her and us), Ben is there when she needs him.

Ben was hurt by his high school girlfriend and had sworn off relationships. After 2 years, he gets a call saying she needs to speak to him. Cue the innocent and adorable secret toddler. Ben wants nothing to do with Janelle (the ex) so his friends suggest he ask Sienna to be his fake girlfriend.

So, to keep track we have some crazy exes, an adorable toddler, some hilarious friends, some jerks, dysfunctional families, misunderstandings… Shew… it’s everything a good book needs. This is definitely one of my top reads from this year.

We catch glimpses of the main characters of the next book and I must say, I am excitedly waiting for that one to release.

Book Review: Help Me Remember by Corinne Michaels

Help Me Remember by Corinne Michaels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I knew this was going to be a good book from the blurb. But holy smokes, it turned out to be AMAZING!

Brielle wakes up in a hospital with family and friends by her side – with the exception of her brother. She learns she has been injured and her brother killed and she has no memory of any of it. Her last memories are from 3 years ago. Everyone around her knows her life - or parts of it - but have been asked not to reveal the memories to her in fear it will jeopardize the case.

Brielle asks one of her brother’s best friends, Spencer, to help her as she tries to learn what happened the past three years. Did we mention that Spencer was the one she always had a crush on? Spencer has his own motives for Brielle to learn her past.

I absolutely loved Spencer and Brielle! I think I am really going to enjoy this series!
