Only A Crush by Delance Stewart

 

💖💖💖💖💖

Mateo and Annalee’s story in Only A Crush by Delancey Stewart, book two in the Kasper Ridge series, is an emotional, heartwarming, funny, charming, entertaining and heartbreaking story. Mateo is a single dad working in his home town on renovating the Kasper Ridge Resort. Annalee has joined her military buddies, who own the Resort, to help in the renovation project and serve as the event planner/chef. Despite the instant attraction between Mateo and Annalee, since they met, and as much as they feel the attraction, they refuses to act on it until a freak snowstorm strands them alone in a remote cabin for several days and nights. Both Mateo and Annalee have reasons for not being in relationships; Mateo is still dealing with the guilt of losing his wife and raising his adorable daughter Lily, while Annalee is dealing with issues from her childhood. The journey Mateo and Annalee take as they fall in love and work to get past their individual baggage was not necessarily easy; as there were obstacles along the path to a happy ending.  Although I do have to say that Lily added a depth to this story as well as stole the story with her brain and cuteness; especially figuring out clues in the treasure hunt.

 

Ms. Stewart wrote an emotional, wonderful, heartwarming romance that kept me turning the pages as I followed the twist and turns of Mateo and Annalee’s relationship. She provided a tale rich with magnetic attraction, sizzling chemistry, clever banter, the magic of friends, and a colorful cast of secondary characters giving Alexa and Jackson a chance at love, happiness, and a future neither expected. I highly recommend Only A Crush to other readers and I look forward to the next story in this series.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book prior to purchasing it.

Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting

 💖💖💖💖💖/5 Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting is a college hockey romance between a super outgoing hockey star and an introverted girl who writes sizzling hot LoTR fanfic in her spare time.   Cammie Lovelock has a crush on Chase Lovett but has always felt invisible to the popular crowd. A fire in their dorm sends all the students to a nearby hotel until damages are repaired and she ends up rooming with her hockey crush Chase; thanks to having the gender neutral first name of Cameron. To make matters worse, there is only one bed. It might have accidently started with these two opposites rooming together, but it led to a wonderful, sizzling hot relationship; one where they are there for each other.   I loved the sibling and friend connections this book had to the Toronto Terror series. Getting glimpses of some of our favorite Terror characters was perfect. I can’t wait to see where this series goes ; especially to read Tally and Brody’s stories.   REA...
