A Kissing Games Series Standalone

Author: Molly McLain

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Wrong Brother/Jilted Bride/Friends to Lovers

Release Date: June 1, 2023

BLURB

My brother’s fiancée should have been mine.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, and it’s not quite as bad as it sounds. Linc was running late for their first date and he begged me to stand in until he could get there.

I only went to tell the girl to run. To warn her about my brother’s selfish ways and promise she wanted no part of it.

But then I saw her. The stunning woman with auburn hair, sky blue eyes, and freckles I wanted to memorize.

The hour I spent with Audrey was hands down the best date of my life. Until my brother showed up.

Now, I’m covering his butt again. This time at their wedding rehearsal, because Linc hasn’t learned a damn thing. Work still comes first and that says a lot, doesn’t it?

So, sure… I’ll hold Audrey’s hand at the altar. And I’ll look into her eyes and wish like hell she would realize she deserves so much more.

I should have told her to run that night two and half years ago. Because all I want to do now is what I wasn’t bold enough to do then…

Steal her away for myself.

Review – Broken Boy by Hannah Gray

Broken Boy; The Puck Boys of Brooks University #2
(standalone within a series)

Publication Date: June 14, 2023

Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Sports/Friends-to-Enemies-to-Lovers/Second Chance/Forced Proximity/Fake Dating Romance

Author: Hannah Gray

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Cut the tension with a knife between these two past friends in this highly charged second chance romance.

Link and Tate, were two former best friends whose past was so tangled up in hurt, brokenness, and pain that emotions were running high when they meet again in college. Add in some close proximity and fake dating and this book was impossible to put down!

Tate’s father was a famous NHL star, who was never there for his family. The damage she suffered from her father spilled over into every aspect of her life. When her feelings for Link begin to grow beyond friendship and she knows his sites are already on going pro with hockey, Tate pulls back from him, when all Link wants to do is push forward. Its awful to watch Tate self sabotage so many good things, like her relationship with Link, but when Link wants more than just friendship with Tate, as he eventually pushes for it, well…that is the moment when everything changes for them.

Link loves both hockey and Tate, but ultimately he can’t have both. He knows what the situation is, what her past trauma is, but the heart wants what it wants. Pushing too much also means pushing her away, but don’t call Link an angel. He has his own scars and there is a majority of the book where he’s a major douche and tries to push Tate away, but at the same time he just can’t seem to stay away. Ultimately Link needs to prove that he’s different than her past and Tate also needs to do the same for Link.

The tension between these two is soooooo thick. I loved it! Even better than the tension, is Brody. His comical timing is the best and his friendship is truly one to treasure. His book should be fantastic!

Synopsis:
They say the line that separates love from hate is thin. So thin in fact that the two almost coexist. Almost.

It’s also been said that when a dude is a jerk to a girl, it’s because, deep down, he wants her. I’m calling bullshit on all of it.

Tate Tracy is about to find out that I’m not the nice boy anymore. Nor am I a forgiving person. She might have been my best friend for eighteen years, but now, she’s no one. And if I have to remind her of that, I will. Even if we’re going to be stuck living in an apartment … together.

The trouble is, I’ve only ever had one weakness in life.

And it’s Tate Tracy.

Review – Oblivious by Leslie McAdam

Oblivious; IOU #3
(Interconnected standalone within a series)

Publication Date: June 15, 2023

Genre/Tropes: MM/Friends-to-Lovers/Workplace Romance

Author: Leslie McAdam

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
I absolutely adore books that are both make-my-heart-melt sweet and make-my-panties-wet steamy. Oblivious hit the spot on both accounts and I’m giving extra props to Leslie because the title was so spot on.😉

August and Noah have been best friends since they were nine years old. Just imaging these two young boys growing up and getting into all kinds of mischief made my heart melt. The pranks they began on one another in childhood continued into adulthood, which led to part of a risqué moment 🔥, but also kept them bonded with true friendship and laughter. August and Noah have something so many of us crave and miss as we get older, a true friend, but Noah also has a secret…he’s been secretly in love with August for pretty much most of his life and once you get a deeper understanding of August I think he’s had the same feelings for Noah, he’s just a tad oblivious to it.

These two men have a true understanding of each other, a partnership at work and even one outside of it. A relationship, if you will, just without the actual label. It’s that label, the romance that’s missing from what they share after all the time they spend together. Literally everyone around them sees it, except for the two of them. Well, mostly August, but Noah isn’t completely blameless either.  They are both oblivious to how the other feels beyond friendship, which is adorable, but also a little frustrating considering they have been friends since they were nine years old. Moving those barriers seems impossible, but not improbable, especially when they are surrounded by wonderful friends and family ready to support them.

How can two people so attuned to one another be so tuned out when it comes to love? Oh these two are just too cute. Watching them fall and then, just like Leslie promises, all…the…proposals ❤️ This book is fantastically perfect 🥰

Synopsis:
My hot best friend has no idea what he’s doing to me.

He sends me naughty texts at the most inappropriate times. He lets me fall asleep on top of him when we watch movies. And his protective side comes out if I dance too close to anyone at our favorite club.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but those are things a boyfriend does. Except August isn’t my boyfriend, he’s my best friend, and those lines are drawn in permanent marker. The one time we tried to cross the boundary between friends and lovers, it failed so spectacularly that we never did it again. So … “friends” is good enough. That’s what I tell myself. Because at least I have him in my life. Without him, I’d be lost.

But after we’re dared to kiss, and that kiss reshapes reality, we agree to be friends who do things with each other. Nakey things.

That makes my life so much better. And so much worse. After all, August doesn’t want to settle down, and he never wants to get married. While I do.

Most importantly, no matter how our relationship changes, he can’t find out I’m desperately in love with him.

Oblivious is a sweet and steamy contemporary m/m romance about best friends who don’t know they’re already dating. Noah and August are always touching, finish each other’s sentences, and bristle whenever the other gets within six feet of a date, but they can’t see what’s crystal clear to everyone else. Oblivious features badly timed schmexy texts, a hot kiss that rocks two men’s universes, and (unofficially, but likely) the highest number of heartfelt marriage proposals in a romance novel ever.

Review – Kissing My Brother’s Bride by Molly McLain

Kissing My Brother’s Bride; The Kissing Games #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: June 1, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Forbidden/Best Friends-to-Lovers/Contemporary Romance

Author: Molly McLain

Review Rating: 4.5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
A sweet, friends-to-lovers, contemporary romance.

Audrey was supposed to marry Lincoln West, but when he backed out Audrey realizes that perhaps it was meant to be and that she was really meant to be with the other West brother, Liam who is her best friend, all along. The biggest problem she now faces is that she’s built up a life with and around Lincoln, so will her friends, her new found family with the West’s, will they forgive the tangled mess that will now involve Liam?

Liam, Lincoln’s brother, has been best friends with Audrey from the beginning of their relationship, and they have always kept their relationship in the friend zone. However, once his brother screws up the best thing he ever had, all bets are off and Liam is ready to make his move. Liam has waited on the sidelines long enough, so when Aubrey says she’s ready, he’s no longer waiting. While he did keep their relationship in the friendzone, he also kept his true feelings simmering in the background.

This book is a long, slow burn, due mainly to the nature of their relationships. It did involve his brother after all, but once they do give in, it’s steamy and the relationship quickly takes off, it just takes a long time to get there.

Synopsis:

My brother’s fiancée should have been mine.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, and it’s not quite as bad as it sounds. Linc was running late for their first date and he begged me to stand in until he could get there.

Review – Scoring the Player by Rebecca Jenshak

Scoring the Player; Campus Wallflower #3
(standalone within a series)

Publication Date: May 23, 2023

Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Sports/Opposites Attract/Fake Dating Romance

Author: Rebecca Jenshak

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Super sweet and kind of dreamy new addition to the Wallflower Valley U series.

Is it fake when it always felt real? Don’t ask Felix and Dahlia their opinion on this matter as they completely faked themselves out when they both agreed to this plan to avoid lots of real feelings.

While they both jump in and agreed to the terms of a fake relationship, their relationship was anything but. To the outside eye, no one would have guessed that they weren’t actually boyfriend and girlfriend. Even Felix’s sisters couldn’t tell his relationship wasn’t real…sooooo, just who were these two pretending for? That’s a question I’ll leave for the reader to discover.

What was lovely though, Felix and Dahlia had a very easy friendship. There was nothing fake or forced about it. Yes, at first Dahlia was a little shy around him, but once she opened up her word vomit actually intrigued him.

Like Felix, Dahlia is as athlete, she was extremely busy with school, golf tournaments and her future career as a fashion designer. Boys had never really factored into her plans, but with Felix now in the mix they made it work because he had the same crazy schedule. It was actually nice to talk to someone who understood the pressure they both shared.

Felix had never had a girl to share anything with or even close to what he felt in his daily life and having Dahlia to talk to was what he enjoyed most, aside to the intimacy it created. She opened up a whole new world to him.

Their relationship was easy, with a slow burn, but also with great chemistry. It’s low drama except for what they themselves created, cause you know…fake relationship and all….everyone sees what they don’t. 😉 It’s a great addition to this sweet series.

Synopsis:
Valley U’s hottest QB has heard in detail how I want to climb him like a tree.
One viral video and my life as a wallflower is over.
Felix Walters knows exactly how I feel about him—so does everyone else on campus.
It was supposed to be a private conversation between friends.
Now I’m the butt of every joke and everywhere I turn all eyes are on me.
It’s every shy girl’s nightmare.
Except now the hottest guy on campus wants to be my fake boyfriend.
Six weeks. Just pretend.
I’m a wallflower fake dating Valley U’s hottest player.

Blog Tour – The Sneak Peak by Victoria Wilder

Release Date: May 12

My Best Friend. Young. Tempting.

She bid on me at my company’s charity auction and won. Back then, she was too young, with hearts in her eyes and her whole life ahead of her. That’s how we started, and after all this time, she’s become my best friend.

I don’t want her to have anyone else, but I know it’ll change us if I take what I want. And, if we destroy our friendship it’ll ruin me. Or worse, end up breaking my kid’s hearts and hers.

This is a spicy small-town interconnected, standalone romance.

Amara

Tyler Collins has always been the object of my affection. He just doesn’t know it.

I’ve spent years admiring him, fantasizing about him, but never once making a move.

That is until I see him across the room, already a few beers in and drunkenly decide to press my lips to his. One minute I’m sharing a drink with a friend, and the next, I’m Kissing My Crush.

Now I’m trapped at a beautiful resort with the man I so desperately want to avoid, to celebrate the nuptials of our dear friends.

I can feel his eyes on me. He’s watching. Waiting for what I’m not sure. The fear of rejection is too strong for me to mention the kiss. That night is on constant replay in my mind. I often wonder how he would react if I could confess that to me, our kiss was not a drunken mistake.

Tyler

Quiet, sweet Amara, the one woman I never expected to crave and the one I can’t seem to shake. One unexpected kiss, and now all I can think about is her lips pressed to mine.

I’ve managed to avoid attachments, keeping things casual and enjoying one day at a time. Yet, a timid blonde marches across a hazy bar and grabs hold of my hair, giving me the kiss that changes it all. Changes me.

She wants to pretend it never happened, but I never was much for playing games. She might want me to believe the kiss was forgettable, but we both know better. Hands down the hottest kiss of my life.

That moment with her wasn’t nothing. It was everything.

It was the turning point and the start of something I know without a doubt will be more than we both ever could have expected.

Review – Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison

Lovelight Farms; Lovelight #1
(standalone within a series)

Publication Date: June 6, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Friends-to-Lovers/Holiday/Fake Relationship Romance

Author: B.K. Borison

Review Rating: 3.5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
This is a friends to lovers with a holiday theme and fake dating thrown in to boot.

I tried to love this book, but I didn’t seem to connect with it the way other people did. I love a good friends to lovers trope, I also love a good fake dating book, they both have their pitfalls and awkward moments that usually lead to the characters opening up or great nekky times. However, Luka and Stella just felt awkward from the get go. While I did sense Luka liked Stella, there wasn’t that instant chemistry that usually drives these kinds of tropes, at least what I’m normally used to reading.

The story revolves around Stella’s dilapidated farm and how Stella is hoping that one Instagram influencer is going to hopefully revive it when she -cross fingers- wins a contest. That’s a lot of pressure all the way around, but add in that Stella lied on her application saying she runs the farm with her boyfriend. This is where Luka comes into the picture since they’ve been friends for years. Also, don’t get me started on the friends, but they seem to lack talking topic…

I’m just going to say, this felt more like Woman’s Lit with a touch of romance and honestly, in today’s world, it probably would have been a better story if the book leaned more into empowering women to run a business instead of forcing this idea that women need a man to fake their way into winning a competition. Trust me, I’m all about people finding love and I like that Luka and Stella eventually find their way to it, but the plot didn’t thrill me.

Synopsis:

Two best friends fake date to reach their holiday happily ever after in this first romantic comedy in the Lovelight series.

A pasture of dead trees. A hostile takeover of the Santa barn by a family of raccoons. And shipments that have mysteriously gone missing. Lovelight Farms is not the magical winter wonderland of Stella Bloom’s dreams.

In an effort to save the Christmas tree farm she’s loved since she was a kid, Stella enters a contest with Instagram-famous influencer Evelyn St. James. With the added publicity and the $100,000 cash prize, Stella might just be able to save the farm from its financial woes. There’s just one problem. To make the farm seem like a romantic destination for the holidays, she lied on her application and said she owns Lovelight Farms with her boyfriend. Only…there is no boyfriend.

Enter best friend Luka Peters. He just stopped by for some hot chocolate and somehow got a farm and a serious girlfriend in the process. But fake dating his best friend might be the best Christmas present he’s ever received.

Review – The Sneak Peak by Victoria Wilder

The Sneak Peak; Subtitle #3
(standalone within a series)

Publication Date: May 12, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Age Gap/Single Dad/Friends to Lovers Romance

Author: Victoria Wilder

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
A lovely friends to lovers story with well written real life issues and experiences.

Michael Riggs is a single father of two six year old twins, Sammy and Miles. An adorable boy and girl who light up the pages. Gracie has had a long term crush on Michael for years, but luckily has been able to keep it in check while being his best friend.

They sort of work together, she’s a physical therapist and Michael’s family owns a sports company where many high caliber athletes train, hence these two spend a lot of time together both in and outside of work.

They know pretty much everything about one another, including Michael’s several case of anxiety, which Grace handles like a pro. She’s been there when Michael needs someone- whether it’s with his overwhelming panic attacks, or when he needs a hand with his kids. In fact, if it wasn’t for the line that he’d set between them years before Gracie would probably already be more in their lives, but instead she’s there whenever and however she can.

Grace has had a huge crush on Michael since she was a teenager and while Michael may be twelve years her senior and already a father of two, that has never held her feelings back.

When Grace finally sets down the gauntlet on moving forward or staying friendzoned, that line that Michael drew years ago begins to blur. He doesn’t want to take away anything from her by cutting off any of her youthful choices, but he also doesn’t want to lose her.

Michael suffers from terrible anxiety and I love how the author writes about his condition and how he seeks treatment for it. It was never brushed under the rug or glossed over.

Gracie is definitely the sunshiny one of the couple, which is cute. Seeing her with Michael’s kids is adorable and then watching her with him is just down right steamy. The dirty talk and nekky times…oh my…these two are hot!

This was my first book by Victoria Wilder and it was a very enjoyable read.

Cover Reveal – Neutral Zone by Teagan Hunter

Teagan Hunter has revealed the gorgeous cover for Neutral Zone!

To my fans, I’m known as Ivan Fitzgerald.

To my teammates, I’m just Fitz.

And to the girl I’ve been talking to online, I’m ShootsAndScores.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the woman on the other side of the screen is completely out of my league. Why wouldn’t she be? Sure, I’m a professional hockey player, but that doesn’t mean anything when I’m shy and awkward in the most basic social situations and she’s a fiery vixen who oozes sex appeal.

No matter how badly I want her, I can’t have her. Because the woman I love watching so much? The one I might be slowly falling for?

She’s not just some stranger on the internet. It’s Rosie, the woman who serves me coffee and donuts every morning.

And she has no clue it’s me.

Blog Tour – Cruel King by K.A. Linde

Release Date: March 28

A new stand alone fake relationship romance set in the glitz and glamour of the Cruel world from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde…

The most eligible bachelor in New York City just asked me to be his fake fiancé.

Gavin King is six and a half feet of delectable billionaire with a devil’s smile that says he knows exactly what he’s going to do to me later. Because he has.

 

Three years ago, I caught him in the shower and promptly fell into his bed. But neither of us were relationship material. Not to mention I’d just broken up with his best friend.

 

Now, I’m back in the city and he has a plan:

Go to his cousin’s wedding.

Convince his family that he’s not an eternal bachelor.

Post a huge elaborate break up later.

 

With those big puppy dog eyes begging me to agree, claiming I’m the only one who can pull it off, I say yes. What could go wrong? Other than pulling it off so successfully that the line between real and fake blurs.

 

When my family flips the whole script, I can’t see a way out. And I’m starting to wonder if I even want one.

Blog Tour – Bleeding Chaos by Nikki Ash

Title: Bleeding Chaos

Series: Love & Lyrics

Author: Nikki Ash

Release: March 23, 2023

Genre: Friends to Lovers, Rock Star Romance

Gage

I lost my first love. This time, I’m going to win the second girl who owns my heart—no matter the stakes.

Being the drummer for Raging Chaos is the only thing that’s kept me going for the past six years. Even the music isn’t enough to drown out the guilt that’s been suffocating me since what happened to Tori.

When Sadie storms into my life, ripping through my trepidations, sorrows, and bitterness, I can’t help but wonder if she could be my second chance.

I could love her, but in order to do that, I have to stop hating myself first.

Easier said than done. Before I have the chance to mend this broken heart, I push Sadie away and hit rock bottom.

The next time I see her, she has a baby. And if that’s not hurtful enough, it’s not just any baby.

It’s my baby.

Sadie

Bleeding hearts can still beat. I’m living proof of that.

At first, Gage was just someone to take away the pain—until I realized he was battling demons of his own.

I never meant to get too close to the devil with the drumsticks, but once I did, he shoved me out of his life with a force.

My heart might be cracked, but his is completely broken. And trying to save him would destroy us both.

So, I do the right thing and I walk away—not only to protect me but also our unborn baby.

I had no idea who Gage was to the world when I slipped into his bed. Now that I’m out of it, it’s clear he’ll have to clean up his act before he’s father material.

But then we meet again, and I’m reminded of the man he could be.

The man he was born to be, before tragedy struck and the chaos left his heart barely beating.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Like real life, the characters are far from perfect, make morally gray decisions, and deal with subjects that may be sensitive for some readers. If you are looking for a safe romance, this series is not for you. Trigger warnings (which contain spoilers) can be found on my website.

★★★★★ Controlled Chaos Review – “Do not start this series if you plan to go to bed anytime soon . You fall in love with the characters and you can’t stop turning pages, one of the best series I’ve ever read.”

★★★★★ Silent Chaos Review – “This book broke my heart and mended it at the same time.”

★★★★★ Total Chaos Review – “Wow! This book was so much more than what I was expecting. I am loving the Love & Lyrics series….”

 

★★★★★ Bleeding Chaos Review – “By far the most emotively consuming, and thus perhaps most the rewarding, of the Love and Lyrics world. Bleeding Chaos will break your heart- but it will also heal it too.”

Review – Heart of Gold by Amie Knight

Heart of Gold; a novella within the Heart series
(novella within a series)

Publication Date: April 14, 2023

Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Best Friends-to-Lovers Romance

Author: Amie Knight

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
A perfect novella that held all the emotions of two best friends that fell for one another from a young age, but didn’t know how to transition into something more as they got older.

I adored this story something hard and couldn’t put it down once I began. Not only does Will love Ramsay from the moment he meets her at age eight, which might only translate into friendship at that age, but it didn’t take long for Will to understand that what he feels for Ramsey is something special and he wants her forever, if he could just figure out a way to tell her without destroying his decade long friendship.

Ramsey is wonderfully unique, her friendship and love for Will is super sweet, and I loved the two of them together as they tried to forge a new path towards something more.

While this book may have been short it had all the feels, angst, passion, and love that I could want in a romance story. It was perfection!

Synopsis:
I was eight the first time I saw her.
Ramsay Katherine Walker.
She was the prettiest girl I’d ever seen.
But eight-year-old Ramsay had nothing on grown-up Ramsay.
And now that we were in college, I was finding it harder and harder to hide my feelings.
But how do you tell your best friend in the world that you’re in love with them?
If you’re me, you don’t.
But with college guys pawing at my girl, I know I can’t wait any longer.
I can only hope she feels the same way.

New Release – Blanket of Stars by K.K. Allen

Title: Blanket of Stars

Series: Camp Bexley #4

Author: K.K. Allen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 24, 2023

BLURB

All Cayson Bexley ever wanted was to fly…

Until a near-fatal crash clipped his wings, sending the injured military pilot back to his hometown and living right next door to me.

From the moment our eyes meet, the attraction is undeniable.

I mean who wouldn’t fall for that achingly gorgeous face, clean-cut demeanor, and sweet, small-town charm?

Other than our mutual love of music, we’re as opposite as two people can be.

Which is precisely why I friend-zone him the moment he shows interest.

But as time goes on, my heart softens to this man who once had it all—a literal hero floundering to find his purpose.

In the midst of my own struggles, I could certainly use a friend.

Heck, I could use more than that.

And I’m not afraid to let Cayson know it.

When I discover my hunk of a neighbor is as shy as he is inexperienced, I offer him a distraction he can’t possibly refuse.

We already share a very thin wall.

Why not a bed too?

There’s only one catch: he’ll have to promise not to fall in love with me…

A no-strings hook-up is every man’s dream, right?

What could possibly go wrong?

Get ready for:

❤️‍🩹 Injured military pilot + local musician

❤️‍🩹 Online dating gone wrong

❤️‍🩹 Opposites-attract (nice guy / playful girl)

❤️‍🩹 Virgin hero + ✨helpful✨ heroine

❤️‍🩹 He falls first, she’s not looking for love

❤️‍🩹 Neighbors-to-friends-to-lovers

❤️‍🩹 Small town, big hearts

Cover Reveal – Hockey With Benefits by Tijan

 

Releasing: March 7, 2023

 

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down.

She said no feelings and she meant it.
Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship.
College was her escape, including us.

I didn’t have time for a girlfriend.
I had classes, the team, my family, and the game.

It was all working too…

Until somewhere down the line, things got messy.
Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more.
Until I began to want her in ways that weren’t part of the deal.

Our agreement didn’t just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Nikki Ash comes a Runaway Bride, Friends to Lovers, Rock Star Romance…

Kendall

My life has been an endless loop of heartache and breakup songs.

I’ve lived in fear that I’m broken and will never find the kind of love that would piece me back together into something whole.

When my boyfriend proposes, I say yes, desperate for an easy fix. For a super-glue solution.

But, on the day of my wedding, when my dad tells me to follow my heart, it doesn’t lead me down the aisle.

Instead, it takes me straight to Declan Pierce’s car—where I crash his road trip.

The more time we spend together, the more he shows me it’s okay to be broken.

With him, lyrics aren’t just words on paper.

Promises aren’t just whispers in the dark.

And having a few cracks…well, they help the light come through.

Declan

I’ve had feelings for my best friend’s sister for as long as I can remember.

Watching her jump from guy to guy, I’ve been biding my time, waiting for the right moment to tell her.

And then she does something I never thought she’d do…she gets engaged.

This is the part where I’m starting to accept that the woman I love will never be mine.

Until she jumps into my car in her wedding gown and tells me to floor it.

With Kendall in my passenger seat and the past in the rearview mirror, I plan to do whatever it takes to show her that she doesn’t need super glue.

She needs to find the beauty in the cracks.

Review – Total Chaos by Nikki Ash

Total Chaos; Love and Lyrics #3
(#3 within a series)

Publication Date: January 5, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Rock and Roll/Friends-to-Lovers/Runaway Bride Romance

Author: Nikki Ash

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
A beautifully written, friends-to-lovers romance that completely stole my heart.

Total Chaos was plotted to perfection. Each twist was revealed at the perfect moment to give the characters emotional depth, but also to keep the story flowing so I never wanted to put the book down. Also, while the series has given me a unique couple to fall in love with with each book, Kendall and Declan have easily slide into first place with this beautiful book.

Declan has been in love with Kendall for years while she has been oblivious to his infatuation. I believe everything happens for a reason and at the right time, even though Declan suffered years of unrequited feelings, it truly was for the best and he does come to agree with that sentiment. During those hard years Kendall went through men like kleenex as she wasn’t ready, nor was she emotionally stable for Declan. He is a forever kind of guy and once they jump into something…well, together they are all kinds of perfection.

This story is sweet, romantic, and truly heartfelt. It delves into those feelings we’ve all felt at one time or another. Self doubt, self esteem because, yes, even rock stars have self-esteem issues. We’re human and isn’t that why we love connecting with other people just like us, even a runaway bride and her best friend with a ton of unrequited feelings. This book is real and hits all the feels. Total Chaos is total perfection and I couldn’t get enough of this newest couple.

But, on the day of my wedding, when my dad tells me to follow my heart, it doesn’t lead me down the aisle.

Instead, it takes me straight to Declan Pierce’s car—where I crash his road trip.

The more time we spend together, the more he shows me it’s okay to be broken.

With him, lyrics aren’t just words on paper.

Promises aren’t just whispers in the dark.

And having a few cracks…well, they help the light come through.

🎤 Declan🎤

I’ve had feelings for my best friend’s sister for as long as I can remember.

Watching her jump from guy to guy, I’ve been biding my time, waiting for the right moment to tell her.

And then she does something I never thought she’d do…she gets engaged.

This is the part where I’m starting to accept that the woman I love will never be mine.

Until she jumps into my car in her wedding gown and tells me to floor it.

With Kendall in my passenger seat and the past in the rearview mirror, I plan to do whatever it takes to show her that she doesn’t need super glue.

She needs to find the beauty in the cracks.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Becca Steele comes a new standalone M/M college romance.

I’ve been in love with my best friend, Ander, for as long as I can remember. I’ve always kept my feelings to myself, knowing that I’d never have a chance because he’s straight.

Until the day he does me a favour by pretending to be my boyfriend.

After that, things change. He’s suddenly interested in experimenting with guys…just not with me.

It’s time for me to move on, and accept that nothing between us will ever change. He only sees me as his best friend.

Except…now he’s looking at me in a different way.

Does he feel something more than friendship for me, or am I just deluding myself?

I guess it’s time to find out.

Sidelined is an M/M new adult college romance with best friends to lovers and bi awakening themes. It is the second book in the LSU series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

He left without warning in the middle of a Lake Bittersweet winter.
Now he’s back… just in time for the holidays.

For Gina Moretti, the holidays are bittersweet thanks to a history of romantic disasters. This holiday season, her friends are taking the reins and are setting her up. Little did she know the whole town would get into the act, but that’s Lake Bittersweet for you. When a date goes sideways, she’s shocked to be rescued by the one-and-only Kirk Williams–her brother’s best friend, who left town long ago and is now a celebrity hero. 

Kirk is back in Lake Bittersweet for some peace and quiet, but once he sees Gina, that’s out of the question. His best friend’s tomboy little sister is now a gorgeous woman with secrets of her own. When she asks him for help tracking down someone from her past, he jumps at the chance to win her trust. As for resisting their intense attraction…he might be famous for his heroic rescues, but he’s not that strong.  

Can Kirk and Gina banish the ghosts of holidays past and claim the future of their dreams …while dealing with family revelations, obsessed fans, and the endless parade of holiday setups?
