Georgia
I’m surrounded by love, yet have no one to call my own.
But then Chase, my new roommate, is suddenly there.
He could be the perfect guy for me, if he wasn’t nursing a broken heart.
The more time I waste looking for love, the more I realize that what I want has been right in front of me all along.
Falling for Chase is the easiest thing I’ve ever done, but fighting for him is the hardest.
Because his past isn’t finished with him— not even close.

Chase
Love finds you when you least expect it.
I was only looking for a place to crash after having my heart ripped out, instead I found someone who turned my world upside down.
A girl like Georgia was looking for happily ever after, and so far my life had been anything but a fairytale.
I can walk into a burning building without thinking twice, but the spark I feel with her scares the hell out of me.
I can’t keep watching her look for someone else—not when I’m falling for her.
Just when everything starts to fall into place, I'm reminded just how messy and imperfect life can be.
When the smoke clears, it’s Georgia by my side. Life might not be perfect— but our love could be.

*My Kind of Perfect is the third and final interconnected stand-alone novel in the Finding Love series.*

5 stars!

My Kind of Perfect was the absolute PERFECT conclusion to Nikki Ash’s Finding Love Series. After finishing My Kind of Beautiful I was so eager for Georgia and Chase’s story and Nikki Ash blew me away with such an incredible story. From the first to last page I was CONSUMED and I didn’t want it to end. It is a sexy, emotional, beautiful story. Georgia and Chase are roommates and friends. Georgia is a bit of a recluse. She prefers to be at home and stay within her bubble. She works from home and enjoys the comforts of her home instead of going out and struggling with her social anxieties.  Chase sees this and wants nothing more than to be the person that will push her out of comfort zone and be the one there for her while she finds herself. Chase is a firefighter and best friends with Alec, who is Georgia’s sisters husband. He ends up on her couch after his marriage breaking down. Initially Chase is all about his playboy ways. He wants nothing to do with commitment after being emotionally and physically drained by ex-wife and her drug abuse and cheating ways. That is until Georgia and their undeniable attraction and chemistry. There were so many beautiful layers to uncover in this story. I loved how mature and vocal they were with each other as soon as they decided to give into their feelings and their desire for one another. I loved their journey. The flirty, sexy banter, laughter and steam mixed with emotional, raw and heartfelt moments really made the connection between Georgia and Chase so strong and beautiful. I have ADORED this series from the start and need more of this family. I cannot wait to go back and read the Fighting and Fighting Love Series now that I have fallen so hard for Nikki Ash’s writing.

REVIEW: Blame it on the Tequila by Fiona Cole

The world loves him and his music, but I loved him first.

Blame it on the Tequila by Fiona Cole is now live!

It started on a dance floor after too much tequila and ended with looking into the handsome face I never thought I'd see again. In-person, at least.

I saw his face all the time on magazine covers.

To the world, he's Parker Callahan- famous rockstar.

To me, he was the boy I loved, the stepbrother who left me behind to follow his dreams.

After our tequila-fueled encounter, he wants me back but that's not a road I'm ready to walk down again. He broke my heart once, and even five years later, I'm not sure I could handle another blow.

When a once-in-a-lifetime offer comes my way, even my broken heart isn't enough for me to be able to turn it down. I agree to join the band's tour and help Parker write his next album--but this time I'm not falling in love.

This time I'll walk away.

If there is one thing life has taught me, it's that love never goes to plan--especially when Parker is involved.

Since the end of Blame it on the Champagne I fell in love with Nova, and have been dying for her and Parker’s story and ohh, did Fiona Cole exceed all my expectations with this story! Nova is fierce and strong. Parker is one sexy rockstar. This is a slow burn, forbidden romance and is filled with angst, drama and tension. The steam in this book is OFF THE CHARTS! I felt SO much when reading this. It is a real rollercoaster ride from beginning to end and I could not put the book down once I started it. I loved all the multi-layers to this complicated love story. Parker and Nova began as step siblings when their parents marry each other when they are teenagers. Something tragic occurs and forces them apart. One night of tequila brings them back together and Parker is determined to never let go of Nova again. I admired his determination. Nova wasn’t so eager to forgive right away. The story is told is dual POV and flips between past and present seamlessly. The only thing that stopped me from giving this a full five stars is the miscommunication and conflict that occurred. Both characters could have done more and in some ways this makes for very real, relatable and flawed characters but with just a little more effort some of it could have been avoided. My favourite thing about these characters was there passion for art and music. It is beautiful, emotional and made for a true and deep connection. Overall this was a fantastic story and I cannot wait for Rae’s book next.

REVIEW: Love in Secrets by Scarlett Cole

 Release Date: May 25

Master distiller, Jake Dyer, is doing everything he can to keep his family-run gin distillery in business. Working seven days a week to maintain production volumes while overseeing a complex renovation of the distillery keeps him busy. There is no room for anything else in his life, especially not Cassie Cunnigham, his childhood friend, and daughter of the owner of the construction company completing the renovation.

 

Cassie Cunnigham hates leaving her project management job with a New York construction firm to return to Denver after a decade away. But when Jake Dyer calls to tell her about her father’s accident, she has no choice but to go home for six weeks to run his small construction firm in his absence. With her New York boss threatening to fire her if she doesn’t return, and her father pleading with her to stay, Cassie feels as though the men in her life are taking decisions out of her hands.

 

All except Jake, who is no longer the gangly-teen she left behind. And it doesn’t help that Jake can’t keep his eyes, or hands, off her, either. When friendly reunions turn heated in secret, Jake and Cassie convince themselves that friends-with-benefits sounds like a whole lot of fun.

 

But as walls go up in the distillery and refuse to come down from around Cassie’s heart, Jake wonders if he and the woman he’s falling in love with will ever add up to anything more.

4 stars!

Love in Secrets is book #3 in Scarlett Cole’s Love Distilled series. It can be read standalone but I recommend reading the previous two books in the series for the best reading experience. Jake Dyer is a master distiller for the Dyer family’s gin distillery. He is confident, smart and sexy. He is protective over his sisters and loves his job. 

Cassie is a hard working, strong woman, working in a mans world, for her fathers construction company. She can hold her own and I loved this about her.

This was such a great friends to lovers story. Jake and Cassie have known each other since they were children. They are passionate about their jobs and had amazing chemistry together. There are some bumps along the way with the fact that they live in different cities but they figure it out together. They make compromises where they need to and they mutually respect each others goals and dreams without the drama we sometimes see in romance novels. This was refreshing.

I love Scarlett Cole’s writing. This series has been a top favourite and I have loved every moment with the Dyer family. The part of this story that really resonated with me is the importance of balancing a healthy work and home life. Scarlett outlines that is is possible to have both and Jake and Cassie’s passion for their work and each other is really beautiful.

Meet Scarlett Cole

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. 

Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

 

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.

4 stars!

I can never get enough of Kim Loraine’s cowboy romances and Sera and Sutton’s story was no different. This story was most definitely one WILD RIDE! It is a delicious, sweet and steamy story with characters that pull you in from beginning to end with their fantastic chemistry, flirty banter and charm. 

Sutton Wilde is the whole package. A southern gentlemen and sexy cowboy with a heart of gold. Sera Ryker exudes confidence and sass and from the moment they wake up in Vegas married to one another there is never a dull moment between these two and there was no cooling their chemistry and attraction. The problem however is the two are a forbidden pairing due to a long time feud between the Wilde and the Ryker families. Going home and seeing them navigate their families and small town was entertaining and fun. 

Listening to Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter perform this in duet narration was a real pleasure, the two are just so fantastic together!
