Defying Gravity- Review

Defying Gravity by K.K. Allen

Synopsis: 

Our greatest risk was the one we never took …

It was an accidental spring fling three years ago, one week in the mountains of Big Sur, and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend’s older brother. Or that upon our return, his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any future we might have shared.

Now, I’m fulfilling my own dreams in LA, and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide. Not now. Not here. Not him. But he struts back into my life like he never even left. Unfortunately, I’ll never forget what happened the time he did.

The ball is in my court, but Tobias isn’t above stealing—my power, my resolve, my heart. When he wants a second chance to reignite our connection, my answer is simple—we can’t.

Not unless we defy the rules our dreams are built on … and risk everything.

My Review:

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. I am obsessed with siblings older brother romances and best friends brother romances right now. I did not read Falling from Gravity, which is a prequel to this book beforehand and I wish I would have. It's free on Amazon right now too! This book can be read alone, however you will connect with the characters better I think if you read the prequel and understand better how Tobias and Amelia got together in the first place. Tobias wants to be a basketball star for the NBA, while Amelia wants to be a dancer and in order to achieve their dreams they have to be separated for awhile. I enjoyed the second chance romance and that the book was not full of angst. Amelia and Tobias have a relationship that is on a roller coaster, but it feels genuine. They both make mistakes, they both care for each other and they both want the other to achieve their dreams. Sometimes the journey to get back together is not as smooth as you want it to be. Overall, I liked how at one point both the characters fought for what they wanted. If you are looking for a second chance, sports romance without a lot of angst this is the book for you. I just highly recommend reading the prequel first and I will be doing that soon!

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.

The Roommate's Baby

Synopsis: Provided by Goodreads

She wants a baby but not a relationship. Her hot roommate has always preferred No Strings Attached.
On paper, it seems like a perfect arrangement.
Until they spend the night together.
Until their hearts start racing with more than just lust.
Until both of them realize they want more than they signed up for.
But what if it's too late to change the deal?

My Review:

Rating: 2 stars

I’m in the minority when it comes to this book. I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it. Raina wants a baby and after a incident at the clinic she ends up going to her roommate and asking if he would impregnate her no strings attached. This book was very steamy, but it felt repetitive. I wanted more from Cannon and Rina in terms of them falling in love.
