The Day the Jerk Started Falling by Max Monroe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oh Ollie...Ollie Ollie Ollie. I wanna do a podcast for my love of you too...
It was no secret that book one started a little slow for me but by 30% I was all in and by the end of book one I was salivating for the next one...so much so I emailed the PR company in hopes they would feel my angsty heart and send relief QUICK. So when I got a response saying the arc would be on kindle later in the day I was refreshing like a mad man awaiting Ollie and his whole side of the story. I was convinced I knew the what and why's of the story (spoiler alert I was right...eeeekkkkk) but the telling through Ollie's eyes was enlightening, fun, and had me from podcast one. And of course the was the hilarity that comes with reading Max Monroe, the shenanigans, and heart...lots and lots of heart. This was a fun-filled romp of feelings and findings that I enjoyed more every page. Jerks come and go, they fall, they explain, crawl and capture the heart...Ollie did it all and more. I lurve him...Until next time Max & Monroe. Thank you...

Royally Yours by Emma Chase
Royally Yours by Emma Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
All the damn stars! I loved this one. I’m not usually one to enjoy a prequel to a love story...but this one stole my heart and moved me to tears MULTIPLE times. I loved this story more than I can say. I was fully invested from the very first words, watching not only an epic love story unfold but an epic life and friendship. I was brought to tears more times than I should admit to, which shows me I was completely sunk by these characters. Totally and fully in love with all of them. From the family members to the partners, the best friends, hell even the drivers I connected and cared for them all. Like I said in the beginning of this ranting love fest of a review, I usually don't enjoy a pre-quel love story of the parents...like ewwwwww but those words were thrown right back in my face in a graceful, beautiful way by the always word wielding brilliance of Ms. Chase. Struck. That is what I would say I was. Thrown. Never say never. These two had a love that was felt even before they met. I can't recommend this entire series enough and please please include Royally Yours. I will miss all of these characters like they are my own family. LOVE. On my list of favorites for 2018!

I Bet You by Ilsa Madden Mills
I Bet You by Ilsa Madden-Mills
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
College romances are one of my favorite tropes to read...add sports and BAM, even better but if you go a little further and include a quirky, nerdy type girl that has sass AND the author is Ilsa Madden Mills well let's just say you have a 5 star read for me. Ms. Madden Mills has a knack for writing a strong, athletic young man with a heart of gold that he only shows to those who are closest to him. And the girls she brings to the story are always shining lights of hope and sarcasm. A tad bit unsure of themselves but still strong and filled with light. Put the two of these people together and watch the sparks and quips fly. Love this series. Love this author. You are hit unexpectedly with the heart, humor and friendships that connect you to the story and because of that I bet you will be slayed.

Reveling In Sin by Meghan March
This one is hard for me to fully review...this trilogy took me a little longer to get into than most MM stories do. The back and forth was not always working for me, but book two I was in and awaiting the conclusion. The Gables and Riscoff feud seemed to be winding up and down at the same time, but it was seeming like Whitney and Lincoln were finally being able to see only themselves and their relationship through the feud...this story had them realizing they were it for each other, but everything around them seemed to imploding. Literally, physically, like everywhere. The surrounding players played a larger role in this one and it felt I lost the Whitney Lincoln connection a little through the "everything" else that was coming from us around every page turn. Entertaining? yes. But a tad bit overwhelming and off track too. I did enjoy this one, but not as much as I typically enjoy a MM story. I know I am minority in this view and I am okay with that because at the end of the day I am a HUGE, whole career fan of Ms. March as an author and human. I just saw glimpses of what she is currently working on and am so excited to read on...like I said lifetime fan here.

The Day I Stopped Falling For Jerks by Max Monroe
The Day I Stopped Falling for Jerks by Max Monroe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Omg. I just finished and I want book two RIGHT NOW! This one started a little slow for me but once Ollie and Lucky became more of the main focus I was addicted. jerks, surfers, boys who kiss like your bro, and letters to ex’s, oh my! But are these all jerks or is the “victim” the problem? You can be the judge of that, and personally I can’t wait for more. Max Monroe have a knack for humor, engaging females and swoon worthy males..and I know I’m super late to the “I know who Max & Monroe really are” Party but I have to say NA Alcorn aka Nat aka Monroe (I think) is one of my very favorite authors and I have been missing her and reading her without even knowing it! But the humor and awkward situations scream Nat and I’m so excited she found her voice in these books. Total tangent but I seriously teared up when I saw the reveal video YESTERDAY on their website. So happy to see her, happy, writing and hilarious! Like I said always late to the fucking party. Lol. Anywho I’m going to be over here refreshing my kindle waiting for book two!! Peace

The Wrong Game by Kandi Steiner
The Wrong Game by Kandi Steiner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Kandi Steiner writes love stories that not only capture my heart and soul but play out like a movie for me. She carefully constructs characters and lives that mean more to me, then people in my "real" life equate...like seriously. Writing in a way that doesn't overwhelm with details or over dramatic descriptions but paints a picture so clearly that you can't help but fall so deeply in love with the characters. All while ripping your heart out slow and steady (kidding...kind of) Love, friendship, betrayal, and love worshiping in all of it's glory. You get a little of everything when you read a Kandi Steiner story. She is the master of playing your emotions like a fiddle...when Charlie Daniels goes off in Devil went down to Georgia...you know what I'm talking about. And if you don't google that shit right now. Also watch Urban Cowboy while you're at it. Anywho tangent over. lol This book will play with your emotions, have you completely buy in and love every damn minute of it. Ms. Steiner is a word wizard, an angst queen and totally deserved of the one click budget you set. Read this story. Added bonus is I LOVE FOOTBALL and DA BEARS...so that was fun!

Love, Sincerely, Yours by Sara Ney & Meghan Quinn
Love, Sincerely, Yours by Sara Ney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
You know when you read a book and it's the perfect book at the perfect time? Well that just happened with Love, Sincerely, Yours. The consummate blend of humor, heart and tension blended together to create a five star read for me. There are authors that work so well together that you seriously can not tell where one begins and one ends. Their personalities meshed almost as if one author wrote the damn book...and I say this in total awe. It does help that I love both of these ladies stories...but that aside this story took the work place romance and added a hilarity and complete assholey boss antics that had me laughing out loud multiple times sprinkled with heart and soul that had me totally connected to all the players. Loved it and I can't wait for the next adventure...
