Exes and O’s

by Jill August 20, 2023

written by Jill

Tara Chen is our heroine, and she is kind of obsessed with love. She adores reading romance books, and still has hope for her own happily ever after.

After moving in with her sister’s fiancé’s former roommate, Trevor Metcalfe (who is, hello, a FIREFIGHTER), Tara embarks on a journey to reconnect with her exes, looking for a second chance romance.

Trevor is not into relationships, and Tara is all about love. While they may feel wrong for each other, they can’t deny their feelings forever.

“A die-hard, emotional romantic and a guy who only believes in one kind of happy ending? That’s a recipe for disaster if I ever saw one.” Pretty much sums up Exes & O’s by Amy Lea!

I loved Tara so much. She was so relatable to a younger version of me – boy obsessed, looking for the best in people, and considered “crazy” at times – usually due to lack of communication from the opposite sex.

I love that Trevor fell for who she is, and didn’t want or expect her to change in any way. The tension between them was perfection *chefs kiss!*

Tutoring The Player

by Jill July 22, 2023

written by Jill

Daisy is a “good girl” – quiet, studies hard, and enjoys time with her friends.

After being ditched by her lab partners, she’s paired up with hockey players Liam (her “good guy” super crush) and his best friend Jordan, who is the exact opposite of everything she’s ever wanted. Jordan is fun, loud, and has a reputation for being a playboy.

As they get to know each other, Jordan realizes Daisy is not all he assumed her to be. Wanting to get closer to her, he asks her to tutor him. With time, Daisy begins to see Jordan’s not all she thought either.

“Those sparks and flutters I was waiting for finally arrived. Oh sh*t. I went and fell for the wrong guy.”

Tutoring the Player is the first book in the Campus Wallflower series. I previously read the 3rd and loved it so much I’m back for the rest!
I love the premise of this series – hot athletes falling for the shy, wallflower girls.

This was simply adorable! What started with flirtatious emails (I LOVE when a connection is formed by text), soon became so much more than either of them expected.

I listened to the audiobook for this one – both narrators were awesome!

What you’ll find in Tutoring the Player:
⭐️ Opposites attract
⭐️ Hockey player
⭐️ College
⭐️ Good Girl/Bad Boy
⭐️ Tattooed Hero
⭐️ He falls first
⭐️ Reformed playboy
⭐️ LGBQT+ rep
⭐️ Slow burn
⭐️ Dual POV/first person

Book Review: Forget Me Not by Julie Soto

by Jill July 9, 2023

written by Jill

Ama Torres loves being a wedding planner. But with a mother who has been married more times than you can count on your fingers, Ama has decided that marriage is not the route for her. But weddings? Weddings are amazing. As a small business owner, she knows how to match her clients with the perfect vendor to give them the wedding of their dreams. Well, almost perfect…

Elliot hates being a florist, most of the time. When his father left him the flower shop, he considered it a burden, but he’s stuck with it. Just like how he’s stuck with the way he proposed to Ama, his main collaborator and girlfriend (or was she?) two years ago. But flowers have grown on him, just like Ama did. And flowers can’t run off and never speak to him again, like Ama did.

When Ama is hired to plan a celebrity wedding that will bring her business national exposure, there’s a catch: Elliot is already contracted to design the flowers. Things are not helped by the two brides, who see the obvious chemistry between Ama and Elliot and are determined to set them up, not knowing their complicated history. Add in a meddling ex-boss, and a reality TV film crew documenting every step of the wedding prep, and Ama and Elliot’s hearts are not only in jeopardy again, but this time, their livelihoods are too.

This dual timeline, second chance romance was unforgettable!
I was immediately drawn to is because – HELLO LOOK at this COVER 😍 and it did NOT disappoint 💜

In this book we have the love story of Ama and Elliot. Ama is a happy, sweet wedding planner, running her own business and landing a celebrity wedding that will bring her a ton of exposure. Elliot, her ex, is a grumpy florist that the couple HAS TO have design their flowers.

We get the present day chapters in Ama’s POV, showing what it’s like to be near Elliot again. Elliot’s POV tells us what happens in the past, how they first fell for one another and what broke them apart.

This book was different and refreshing – I loved how each POV was a different timeline.

What you’ll find in Forget Me Not:
💐 Second chance
💐 Dual timeline
💐 Grumpy sunshine
💐 Wedding planner & Florist
💐 Forced proximity
💐 Opposites attract
💐 Tattooed hero
💐 Dual POV/first person

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever publishing for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own!
