REVIEW – JOCK RULE (Jock Hard, #2) by Sara Ney

SYNOPSIS

Kip Carmichael is no pretty boy.

He’s a rough. Dirty. Giant. Hair so unruly, and a beard so thick, his friends on the team call him Sasquatch.

The first time Sasquatch lays eyes on Theodora “Teddy” Johnson across the keg at a party one night on Jock Row, she’d been relegated to the sidelines by her jock hungry “friends.”

Week-after-week, he watches beautiful but bashful Teddy getting overshadowed, and overlooked. Sasquatch finally broad shoulders his way through the crowd, offering to to be her hairy godmother. But the minute their eyes meet? He’s a goner.

Teaching her the RULES for winning a jock will be the easy part. Not falling in love with her is going to be a losing game.

*****FOUR STARS*****

JOCK RULE starts off almost exactly the same as JOCK HARD did. At first, I was a little annoyed. The only difference was that the Hero was a rugby player instead of a baseball player, and it seemed to take entirely too long for things to spark between the couple but once it did, the story started to get interesting.

 

 

Kip Carmichael is huge and extremely hairy. His hair is usually up in a messy bun with different colored scrunchies and his beard is long and out of control. But underneath the forest of hair is one seriously fine specimen of a man. He comes from a very wealthy family and got tired of girls pursuing him because of his bank account. So becoming a living breathing Sasquatch is his way of scaring all the women away.

 

 

Kip sees a cute but somewhat awkward girl at the Rugby team’s house party three Fridays in a row and decides to take pity on her by offering his services as her ”hairy godmother”. He thinks she could use some tips on how to attract the opposite sex. They fall into an easy friendship. Their easy-going banter is silly and hilarious. Kip is just a gigantic softie. At times he seems almost as innocent and naïve as Teddy. I loved their chemistry.

 

 

Things between Kip and Teddy start off innocent and their interactions are hilarious but there is incredible chemistry between them and the steamy scenes are off the charts HOT! Overall, I thought this story was a pretty fun, sweet and sexy good time!

This is my last arc for 2018! Not a bad way to end the year with regards to blog reviews!

Here are my overall ratings:

Hero: 4.5
Heroine: 4
Plot: 4
Angst: 4
Steam: 4
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 4.5

LIVE – ACROSS THE HORIZON by Aly Martinez

 

 

 

“Sometimes love happens when you least expect it.” That was what my husband’s mistress told me the day I found out about their affair.

I didn’t believe it until five minutes later when mouth-watering celebrity chef Tanner Reese walked up, tossed his arm around my shoulders, and told my cheating husband to take a hike.

Tanner and I couldn’t have been more different. He spent his weekends at clubs, rubbing elbows with fellow A-listers. I spent mine in yoga pants with cheese boards and a glass of wine—or six.

Our relationship shouldn’t have worked, but it did. That is until Tanner proved to me that even though love happens when you least expect it…

So does heartbreak.

About HOTSHOT DOC

Dr. Russell has a bad reputation around our hospital. The scrub techs say he’s cold-blooded, the nurses say he’s too cocky for his own good, and the residents say he’s the best surgeon in the world—really, just a swell guy!—on the off chance he’s within earshot.

I try to avoid him and his temper at all costs. It’s just as easy to admire his sexy, grip-it-while-he’s-ravishing-you hair and chiseled jaw from a healthy distance, preferably from the other end of the hallway…half-hidden behind a plant.

Unfortunately, my plan crumbles when my trusty ol’ boss decides to swap his white coat for a Hawaiian shirt. His retirement leaves me with two terrible options: switch specialties and spend months retraining, or take an open position as Dr. Russell’s surgical assistant.

That means I have to stand near him in the OR for hours on end and anticipate his every need without letting his biting words and bad attitude intimidate me. Oh, and as if that’s not difficult enough, my silly crush on him—the one I’ve tried to stomp on until it disappears—might just be reciprocated.

It’s fine.

I’m fine.

I take my job seriously. There will be no smoldering bedroom eyes across the operating table, no angry almost-kisses in the storage closet. (Well, no more of those.)

What’s the phrase? An apple a day keeps the doctor away?

Maybe I should go for a whole damn bushel.

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FIVE STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

I’m shaking as if he has me on the edge of a cliff. One single finger could push me over. I’d tumble down, and right now, there’s no way to know what awaits me at the bottom. Pain, love, heartache, elation—each is as likely as the last and I can’t willingly do this to myself. I can’t give myself over to a man who has the power to upend my life so easily.

 

 

HOTSHOT DOC is yet another FIVE STAR READ by the amazingly talented R.S. Grey! Over the past few years, I have become one of her die-hard fans. If you’ve never read anything by this author, I highly recommend that you give her a chance. My heart is brimming with love for Matt and Bailey’s story. For those of you who enjoy a good ”enemies-to-lovers” romance, this is one that you need to add to your TBRs ASAP! A story that has an engaging plot, swoon-worthy Hero, and a Heroine who steals your heart, HOTSHOT DOC just became one of my top favorite books by R.S. Grey!

You can’t help but fall for Bailey. She’s sweet, silly, and has such a gentle soul. She has been the sole guardian of her fourteen-year-old sister for several years and there isn’t anything she wouldn’t do to make sure that Josie is healthy and happy, including putting her social life on hold. Truth be told, no one has really caught her eye until a certain “McDreamy” like doctor started working at her hospital. Dr. Matt Russell is every woman’s fantasy, but he’s notorious for his hot temper and for making most of his physician assistants quit because none of them can handle his verbal abuse and high standards. Bailey ends up becoming his latest victim when the doctor she’s worked with for the past four years retires and recommends Bailey to Dr. Russell, who happens to have just scared away his latest physician assistant.

Matt and Bailey don’t get off to the greatest start in the beginning, but there’s an instant chemistry that’s hard to deny between them. No matter how terrific Bailey is at being his PA, it doesn’t seem to curb his rude behavior towards her and it’s driving her insane because she wants so badly for him to like her and to receive validation from Matt that she’s doing a kick-ass job. Once the truth behind his belligerent attitude is revealed things quickly heat up between Matt and Bailey.

Matt has many layers of sweetness buried underneath his cold exterior and the two quickly get swept up in a whirlwind romance. As with all stories, there’s something just around the corner waiting to burst the couples’ perfect bubble. Is their love strong enough to face the challenges ahead of them?

Here are my overall ratings:

Hero: 5
Heroine: 5
Plot: 5
Angst: 4
Steam: 4.5
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 5

COVER REVEAL – THE SECRET TO DATING YOUR BEST FRIEND’s SISTER by Meghan Quinn

 

 

 

 

How do you date your best friend’s sister? Easy.

Step one: Pretend you want her to set you up with someone else. That will bring the two of you closer.

Step two: Go on date with lots of random women, proceed to get stupid drunk and talk about your best friend’s sister, thus gaining the courage to finally make a move.

Step three: Randomly show up at her apartment and confess your love. Women love that, right?

It all seemed so simple. A fool-proof three step process that will guarantee the love of you life to fall madly in love with you.

At least–that’s what I thought was going to happen. But my attempts to win over Julia Westin backfired in more ways than I can count. The thing about Julia? She’s smart–really smart–and her wicked gaze cuts through all the charm I’ve tried slinging her way. She’s not interested in games, my gifts, or my stories. She might want me too; but she’s not giving in that easy…

LIVE – THE ROMANCE VIRGIN NOVELIST CHRONICLES by Meghan Quinn

 

 

From USA Today Bestselling Author Meghan Quinn, comes a hilarious romantic comedy that will touch your heart and cause you to roar with laughter as you escape into Rosie Bloom’s attempt to write a romance novel.

Her bosom heaved at an alarming rate as his rough hand found its way down to her soft, yet wiry briar patch…

Can you say briar patch in a romance novel? What about breasts? Do bosoms really heave?

Goodness, I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m a virgin attempting to write a romance novel and I’m having an impossible time trying to write a passionate and swoon-worthy sex scene worthy of being published, thanks to my lack of experience.

My two best friends encourage me to drop the pen, step outside my comfort zone, and gain some real life experience through multiple dating facets such as blind dates, online profiles, and random hookups. But losing my virginity is proving to be much tougher than expected…

This is the story of my awkward, humiliating, and slightly terrifying life, but like all romance novels, I know it will end in a happily ever after. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.

**WARNING: READ IN THE CONFINES OF YOUR OWN HOME DUE TO RANDOM OUTBURSTS OF LAUGHTER. IF YOU ARE ADDICTED TO CLIFFHANGERS, GETTING YOUR HEART RIPPED OUT OF YOUR CHEST AND FEELING LIKE A BULLDOZER JUST PLOWED THROUGH YOUR STOMACH, THEN THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU. IF YOU LIKE PEEING YOUR PANTS AND CRYING FROM LAUGHING SO HARD, THEN PLEASE CONTINUE READING.
