The Godparent Trap-Cover Reveal!!

 Rachel Van Dyken has revealed the cover for The Godparent Trap!

Releasing: July 19, 2022


BLURB:

Life's Too Short meets The Unhoneymooners in this sparkling, steamy, and swoon-worthy novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, in which two sworn enemies must share house, home--and maybe their hearts--when they become co-parents after a sudden loss.

Colby's living her best life: as a popular food blogger, she gets to fulfill her dreams of exploring the globe. But her world comes crashing down when a tragic accident leaves her co-guardian of her best friend's two adorable children. Not only does she need to put down roots--fast--but she'll be sharing custody with the one man she can't stand sharing a continent with, let alone a house.  

Accountant-extraordinaire Rip values rules and plans. But when he loses his sister and his best friend and becomes an insta-guardian all in one night, Rip sees his organized life imploding. What he really doesn't need is his sister's irresponsible, flighty--albeit kind and gorgeous--best friend making it worse.

Rip doesn't trust Colby to take their new responsibilities seriously, while Colby can't believe Rip thinks children will thrive under his rigid control. Yet soon Rip and Colby discover they need each other more than they hate each other. Could it be possible that following their hearts is just what their new little family needs?

Bossy Brothers: Joey Review

Bossy Brothers: Joey by JA Huss
Book 2 of the Bossy Brothers Series


Synopsis:

Six years before my phone rang and changed my life forever, I made a mistake.

I met a girl, we had some fun, and then we had a baby. And I fell pretty damn hard for my daughter. I was going to be there. I was going to give her everything I never had. I was going to have a family.

And then her mother disappeared and took my baby with her.

And now she’s done it again. Because that call that changed my life was from my five-year-old daughter asking me if I knew where her Mommy was.

Then came the lawyers. And the demands from her super-rich, super-powerful messed-up family. And the little fact that my ex didn’t just “disappear” she was “presumed dead”.

I don’t live a traditional lifestyle and I’m not in a traditional relationship.

But I can pretend if I have to.

And that was the plan when my two “best friends” and I decided to hire “professional liar” Brooke Alder to be my fake fiancée.

It’s totally gonna work.  As long as MY super-rich, super-powerful, messed-up family doesn’t get in the way.

Bossy Brothers: Joey is book two in the Bossy Brothers series and features a delicious, burning hot, MMFM, surprise-baby, fake fiancée story with a twist that proves committed couples don’t just come in two’s, mistakes can be a good thing, and for some people, non-traditional love is exactly the kind they should fight for.

My Review:
I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. I read the first book of The Bossy Brothers: Jesse and thought while it had potential I didn't love it. This book was a lot different than the first book. We meet Joey, the middle Boston Brother and he is contacted by his 5 year old daughter that her mom is missing. His lawyers and friend convince him to find a fake fiancee, enter Brooke Adler. Brooke is a professional liar and is new to town. The other two main guys, Huck and Wald, both bring something different to this book then Joey.This is my first true MMFM and while I'm not one to share I enjoyed the way the author wrote the story line with these four. They all had amazing chemistry and fit together well. I will say at times this book seemed to focus more on Brooke rather than Joey.  The mystery that started with the three brothers continue in this story and it leaves you with more questions than answers. I am intrigued with what Johnny's book will be about and look forward to getting more answers.

Series: Stupid Awesome Love #5
 Synopsis:

A marriage of convenience is their second chance at love.

Celeste

With debt threatening to bury me, I have no choice but to fall back on my mother’s lessons and marry a man for money. I’ve got an in with the wealthiest bachelor in town, but I have to go through his Chief of Staff, Kai, before I can even meet the Nilsson heir. Which sucks, because a long time ago Kai promised to run away with me, then left me at the train station with no word. I’m still not over it.

I inherit my parents’ money at the end of the year under a single condition: A wife. There’s only one woman who might be able to convince the world she loves me. The only problem? Celeste doesn’t know that Kai and Nilsson are one and the same. Not to mention she hates me. What's a billionaire heir to do?

My Review:

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. Kai and Celeste met at a charity function when Celeste was only 16 years old. After continuously meeting up at parties throughout the years Kai asks Celeste to run away with him. The only problem is Kai never showed up. This is a standalone book in the series Stupid Awesome Love. All of the characters interconnect, but they can be read as standalone books. Celeste needs money for something so she goes to Kai and asks if he can connect her with the reclusive Bobby Nilsson so she can pose as his wife. It's supposed to be a marriage of conviences, yet Celeste doesn't know that Bobby Nilsson and Kai are the same person. Kai doesn't know if he wants to marry Celeste because she isn't who he remembered so he decides to spend time with her as Kai as a sort of test to see if he can trust her. Both Celeste and Kai are broken people trying to heal. I wish the author would have spent more time building the relationship with Kai and Celeste or made it into two books because this book felt a little rushed. This is a new author to me though and I liked how she made these two characters have flaws. If you like semi-arranged marriages, second chances, billionaire, flawed characters this book is for you.

My Brother's Billionaire Best Friend



Synopsis:

Mabel “Maybe” Willis died a virgin at the very young age of twenty-four. She leaves behind her parents, Betty and Bruce, her brother, Evan, a laptop filled with one too many Jason Momoa memes, and a Kindle library with more books than one human being could ever finish in a lifetime.
Cause of death: a text message.

Okay. So, I didn’t die.
But I may as well have.

One minute, I’m a woman trying to find her way in the world, and the next, I’m the sender of six of the most embarrassing text messages that have ever been sent in the history of time—or the cell phone. Whatever.

We’re talking code red, send a flipping mayday, the apocalypse is coming kind of texts.

And I didn’t just send them to some random person I’ll never see again.
No. That would be too easy.

I sent them to Milo Ives.

The man who played a starring role in all of my teenage fantasies—and my brother’s lifelong best friend.
And, boy oh boy, has he grown up.
He’s hard-bodied, blue-eyed, jawline-of-stone handsome, crazy successful, and has more money in his bank account than my brain can fathom.

Deflower me, please? I said.

Yeah. Send help.

My Review:

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. It's been a rough couple of weeks for me and I needed a light hearted romantic comedy and all the books I found just fell flat. Then I got an e-mail saying an arc of My Brother's Billionaire Best Friend was sent to my kindle and I was a little hesitant that it would get me out of my funk. I should not have been hesitant because this book is hilarious! This is a sweet and funny book about a girl falling for her brother's best friend. When Maybe meets Milo after not seeing him for a few years he doesn't recognize her right away. Maybe is awkward from the very start, but in a charming and not annoying way. When she is under the influence of anesthesia she sends a few texts to her old crush i.e. her brother's best friend. The friendship between Milo and Maybe is not forced and you will be dying laughing as you read how awkward Maybe can be. The texting may have been one of my favorite parts. Milo is also not a jerk, which most billionaire guys seem to be in these kind of books, but a down to Earth good guy, who unfortunately fails at the unspoken rule of being attracted to your best friend's sister. The side characters were well written also. Honestly if you need a light, sexy, funny read I highly recommend this book. I will definitely be reading more of this duo of authors.
