A Cruise Fling by Laura Brown

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

I really enjoyed Mackenzie and Cole’s unexpected romance in A Cruise Fling by Laura Brown. Mackenzie and Cole both go on a cruise in looking for answers to their upended lives and end up learning a lifelong lesson. Cruise with them as they discover that sometimes life will give you exactly what you need; as in: if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. You will be delighted and entertained by a great cast of characters; showcasing differences and how they should be embraced.

 

Mackenzie Laurel’s life might be in the dumpster, but thanks to her best friend, she’s got a cruise to look forward to; something she desperately needs after catching her boyfriend cheating. Too bad he was also her boss and roommate, leaving her unexpectedly homeless, jobless and single. The cruise is reprieve from the pressures of everyday life for Cole. He is a regular on the cruise scene and is using this trip to visit his best friend Trent, who is completing his final stint on staff. The two went through a horrible ordeal together almost a decade ago, where Cole lost a lot more than just his lower leg, and he's still picking up the pieces. A luggage mix-up leads to Mackenzie and Cole meeting, connecting, and feeling the zing of an instant attraction; possibly sparking an onboard romance. Hopefully the baggage from their pasts won’t hold them back from the 'lemonade' in their future.


Ms. Brown wrote a wonderful and heartwarming romance, reading like a travel journal with chapters titled by the day of the cruise. This story was also written to be inclusive of people with a hearing impairment and those affected by an amputation that should not to be missed. This was delivered naturally and with sensitivity to those with disabilities. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, amusing banter, and a cast of endearing characters giving Mackenzie and Cole an unexpected chance at a future together. I highly recommend A Cruise Fling to other readers and hope there is a follow up story for Dani.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

  💖💖💖💖💖 Ben and Sienna were perfect together in Tight Ends & Tiaras by Lex Martin, book two in her Varsity Dads series, is an enjoyable story, rich with emotion, filled with all the feels, and sweet yet sizzling in all the right places. These two just seem made for each other from start, though that doesn’t mean that everything was perfect; as there were numerous obstacles on their journey toward finding a happy life together.   Sienna is so happy attending college in Texas, far from the family she believes doesn’t accept her or believe in her. She has a huge heart, is thoughtful, funny, a faithful friend, hardworking, and gives people the benefit of the doubt; even if they don’t deserve 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...
