Image
💖💖💖💖💖 Hallie and Julian’s story in Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey, book one in the Vine Mess series is a wonderful, heartwarming, opposites, friends-to-lovers story. Hallie Welch is a bubbly, full of sunshine, chaotic gardener that has had the biggest crush on Julian, who doesn't remember her. Julian Vos is the rigid professor, obsessively organized and hates the unexpected, which is why he has a very strict schedule that he never breaks. Will it be possible for these two totally opposite people to fall for each other and have a chance for it to last? Hallie and Julian have a magnetic attraction, off-the-charts chemistry, and sparks that fortunately did not set anything aflame.   The secondary relationships in the story added depth and quality to this story.

Speaking of Julian’s sister, she, Julian, and their mothe...

Eye Candy by Jessica Lemmon

Image
  💖💖💖💖 I totally enjoyed reading Eye Candy by Jessica Lemmon, the first book in her new series, Real Love. This is a friends to lover story of two colleagues who have been badly hurt in previous relationships and who came together as friends to support one another.   However, what happens when those friendly feelings start to change and you realize that your best friend is more than attractive.   How do you act?   Do you risk the friendship and go for it?   Or should you stay friends, ignore your feelings and maybe miss out on the best thing that could ever happen to you? This is the dilemma Jacqueline and Vince face in this story. This might have been one of the first Jessica Lemmon books I’ve read and will not be the last.   I definitely recommend Eye Candy to other readers.     I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Colin Daly works in security and used to be the bodyguard to Saoirse, the daughter of Fiona and a real little princess, but with a change in circumstances Colin is looking for another long term security position and it might just be Hayden Ross, a music therapist and singer, who might just be the next big thing. Hayden is sunshine, lighting up any room she walks into. She is sweet, kind, and openly honest with a heart of gold. She brings light into any room she enters.  She was amazing not only with Colin but also with his entire crew. The brotherly bond between Colin, Henry, Jonah, and Cian was so sweet and fun; I loved how they all interacted with each other and more importantly with Hayden. It was the family bond she needed in her life. They both are p...
