The Grumpiest Billionaire Next Door

He came there for peace and anonymity.

Maya owns her own flower shop, Finch and Fern, and now the building she’s in is being put up for auction. The man who’s the top bidder is billionaire Sawyer Ransome, a man she had a slight altercation with when delivering flowers to an event on his property. She pretends to think nothing of that meeting, but she can’t get him out of her head.

Sawyer is equally befuddled about Maya, and insists to himself that he’s not thinking about her. Come on, kids, if you’re saying to yourself that you’re not thinking about someone, that proves that you’re thinking about someone. But it’s cute how they try to pretend they’re not attracted to each other.

A hearing about the auction of the building Maya’s shop is in reveals the villain of the story — Trent Lowell. He has snapped up properties in town, gutted them, turned them into posh apartments and whatnot, and setting the rent ridiculously high. This is a guy who will step on anyone to get what he wants. Little does he know yet that Sawyer is going to stop him at almost any cost.

I’m not fond of billionaire romances, but Sawyer really appeals to me. He’s quiet and contemplative, and doesn’t throw his weight around (usually). When he realizes that Lowell is going to cause trouble…well, Lowell isn’t going to know what hit him. Sawyer may not have a lot of people whom he can call family (blood or found), but without realizing it, he is drawing in not only Maya, but the townsfolk as well.

Old things matter. They are symbols of who we were, and who we are. Maya understands this; her family built that flower shop, and now she’s the only one left to carry it on. Blood, sweat, and tears are infused into every atom of that place. It should be protected. 

There isn’t a straight line to the happy ending, but we get one, and it’s sweet and romantic and will leave the reader with a good feeling. So, get the book.

Through the Perilous Fight

There is beauty in the trying.

Jackson has been tapped to play in the Stars and Stripes exhibition tournament. As he’s from the eastern part of the US, that makes him one of the Stripes, whereas the western part of the US are the Stars. He’s excited to play, but at the same time, the tournament is cutting into the time he would usually be spending with his mother. 

Brooke is the head chef and sports nutritionist for the Stars, along with her counterpart, Luca, who is the same for the Stripes. Brooke has had plenty of experience with hockey players, as her dad played hockey, then coached, and is coaching the Stars team. This makes her determined to not give any of the players her attention other than what she needs to do for their nutritional needs. 

Jackson does not care about that; he is immediately struck by Brooke, and is subconsciously working out how to win her over.

I love that Brooke is a redhead with pale skin and freckles. I know a little something about that, being born the same way, though my hair is more silver now than red. The funniest thing is that I have a younger sister (she’s only a year younger) who is named Brooke, which, strangely, I don’t see that name much in the books I read. 

I love that Jackson is so besotted with Brooke; as mentioned before, she’s known hockey players from her dad’s teams, and the ones she has dated have left much to be desired. What she doesn’t realize, yet, is that Jackson is cut from a different cloth, and he’s determined to get to the root of her distaste for hockey players.

I LOVE hockey romances. And when I heard about this series, I knew I had to read all of the books. And I’ve enjoyed every single one I’ve read so far. Some of these authors I’ve been reading for years, and some are new to me, but overall, I’m getting more than what I’d hoped for, and this series will hold a place in my heart, and on my e-reader, forever. So get the book, and enjoy.

My Girl to Shelter

“Don’t burn it down just because you don’t think you deserve it.”

Wilder spent six years in prison after a raid on the Serpents MC. There he met Johnny, who taught him control, even as he was dying. Johnny left him everything he had, and he took it and made a life for himself and a place where people like him could land and begin to rebuild. In other words, he owns and lives in an apartment building 

Millie comes home to the apartment she shares with her mother to find an eviction notice. Apparently she wasn’t spending what little money Millie made on the rent. The woman goes so far as to say she’s moving in with her “boyfriend” (he’s really a drug dealer) and Millie can figure out things on her own. But there’s nowhere for her to go; all of the shelters are full, and she has no friends to help her.

Being a very empathic person, I can feel how scared she would be. Everything she owns is in her backpack, or on her body. She has no one to turn to. The world shouldn’t work this way. But thankfully for Millie, she makes a snap decision that will end up completely changing her life for the better. 

When Wilder hears someone crying, he investigates, and finds a young woman curled up on flat cardboard boxes in one of his storage closets. Instead of throwing her to the wolves or reporting her for trespassing, he lies and says there are no vacancies, but she can stay in his guest room. Steamy stuff ensues later. 

Wilder could have gone down a more dangerous road, but he didn’t. He learned control. And he quietly helps people like him find their place in the world. He doesn’t think of himself as a hero, but I do. If only there were more people like him in real life.

Of course Wilder and Millie get their happy ending. That’s what we’re here for. And they keep on quietly helping people up off the ground, and giving them purpose. Those are the actions of true heroes. So get the book.

Probably Summer

The whims of the youth.

Alister is in love with his virtual assistant, August. August has no idea that her boss is Alister, as he goes by Ali, so she thinks that he’s a girl. Now her grandparents and his grandparents have their hot little hands on a scrapbook of sorts, which contains everything that August wants in a love story and husband. 

Too bad that Ali has dark brown hair. Oh, wait, that’s not a problem, he’s just going to wear a wig. And show up as her brother Wynnter’s house guest. And he calls himself Dominic, which is his middle name. Because this man is all in when it comes to being August’s husband. 

Are you confused yet? Well, don’t be. It all makes sense when you read the book. Which you absolutely should do.

Now, you might say (well, Wynnter definitely says) that August is not playing with a full deck. I look at it more as her writing her own story, and Ali wants to be her partner in that story. He has all of the tools he needs, and with the lie of the guest bed catching fire at Wynn’s house, he becomes her houseguest. 

Honestly, I love August’s bravery. She gives no cares about what others think of her. How freeing that must be. Would that we could all be so self-aware. And as she and Ali/Dominic start building their story together…well, it’s just fun. Especially since Ali thinks he’s too boring for August. (He is most definitely NOT boring.)

Though this is one of the stranger love stories I’ve read, I love and adore it. I wouldn’t necessarily call either Ali or August insane; they just know what they want, and they don’t care what others think about it. And why should they? Their lives are their own, they live them how they want. They get that happy ending, and the journey to it is just delightful. 

If you’re looking for a lot of kissing, you won’t find that here. But honestly? I didn’t really notice. I was just enjoying the story, and enjoying how besotted Ali is with August. He really would do anything for her. And honestly, that’s the best part of the happy ending. So get the book!
