The Spare & the Single Mom by Delancey Stewart and Marika Ray

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

I loved Maxine and Cav’s love story in The Spare & the Single Mom by Delancey Stewart and Marika Ray, book one in their new Royals of Sailfish Banks series, a heartwarming, hilarious and steamy romance full of lovable and engaging characters. After years of trying to get his family to allow him to step away from the royal life, Prince Cavanaugh Barclay (Cav)  defects from Mardelvia to Sailfish Banks, NC, where his Uncle Leo landed and where he hopes to start a new life. Cav and single mom Maxine Waddel meet in a funny, embarrassing way thinking they’ll never see each other again. The first thing he accomplishes is irritating Maxine, a single mom who is a waitress and unofficial contractor. Their first interactions are very funny. Though she is annoyed, Maxine needs the money she will get for heading Cav's renovation project. They start to spend time together, and one thing leads to another. As they are adults, they manage to handle the challenges that are thrown at them pretty well and set a good foundation for a committed relationship.

 

You will love and adore all the wonderful, hilarious, quirky characters in this charming small town. This book has all the feels & will make you laugh out loud. Bo, Max’s son, was a wonderful and integral addition to the story. Fiona, Cav’s friend from Mardelvia, also adds depth to this story, as she fails to convince Cav to return home and decides to stay herself. I highly recommend The Spare & the Single Mom to other readers and look forward to the next story in this series.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

💖💖💖💖 /5   Snowball Unwrapped by Kristen McKanagh, book four in the Snowball series, isn’t so much about Snowball the resident cat, it’s about the budding romance assisted by the imaginative and crafty cat. Snowball, you see, has a gift no other cat has: the gift of matchmaking. This was a feel good book with a twin swap, opposites attract and the attraction being encouraged by a smart, insistent, and adorable white cat, Snowball, the resident cat at Weber Haus. Ilse Becker is the host of a TV show called Home and Hearth, that features cooking and craft segments. Her fiancé is double timing her, so she convinces her identical twin sister Jocelyn to stand in for her while she sorts her personal problems.
