The Secret Roommate by Sara Ney {A Review}

What was it Eli said about Posey? She was sweet and kind and wouldn't hurt a soul?
...unless that soul was me?

Main Characters:
Duke Colter
Posey Kettner

Genre:
Contemporary Romance
Sports Romance

Tropes:
Roommates to Lovers
Forced Proximity
Hate to Love
Minor Reverse Age Gap (5 years)

Location: Chicago Illinois USA for 2 weeks
Team: Dallas Steers

From the very beginning of The Secret Roommate I was hooked on Duke Colter. This man just throws off this vibe of not having a care in the world. He's this famous athlete who can do as he pleases. That is until he meets one Josephine "Posey" Kettner. This Kindergarten teacher is about to put him in his place, and it is a blast to see how this relationship forms. How these two opposites would survive living together for two weeks made for an interesting story. 

The meet-cute was so dang good. This country boy was not going to give up until his mission was accomplished. Posey's reaction was perfection. Then there was the situation with the cake that had me literally laughing out loud. Oh that was fabulous. I laughed numerous times throughout this story. Sara Ney put some fantastic one liners in this book, and I loved it. Plus there was just the general banter between the two that had me smiling. Posey's neighbor was a hoot. I fully enjoyed how she kept Duke on his toes.

Duke comes across as this hard headed man who only worries about himself. But when he starts to trust the person he's with, those walls come crumbling down. It is then that you get to see who he truly is. And it just so happens that this man is pretty spectacular.

Then there's Posey. I see a lot of myself in this character. She's a bit more reserved, she keeps to herself, there's a bit of self doubt happening, but underneath it all is a passionate woman who is intelligent, creative, and completely unique. She knows who she is. She knows what her passions are, but she holds back a bit. Again, it is until she is comfortable. Until she can trust the person she is with, and that bond has been established. It is then that she will those people in. 

Let's talk about their moment of conflict. That one, I can honestly say, I did not see coming. In my mind I thought for sure that the conflict would be something entirely different. I mean Duke's in hiding for a reason, so I had that in mind when foreshadowing what the drama/conflict would be. When this moment of conflict happened though, I could see Posey's perspective. I could understand why she reacted the way she did. That pain radiated off the page, and it had me wanting to knock Duke upside the head. 

Then there was the reunion. How this played out was interesting. It showed maturity on Duke's part, which was appreciated. The reunion was good. It was. I enjoyed it. BUT something felt off. From the moment of the conflict, to the reunion, to the epilogue, that entire section of the story didn't match the vibe of the first 3/4 of the story. Does that make sense? It was missing the energy and passion, as well as the general banter that I had come to love. Regardless, I still fully loved the story. These two characters are going to be living in my head for a while, as they are unforgettable.

One last thing...I am hoping that Duke's brothers will have stories that feature them each finding their happily ever after. Could Sara Ney be returning to the college scene and be writing stories about these 3 football players? OH I HOPE SO! Maybe we'll get to meet Mama Colter too. (as well as see a bit of Posey and Duke.)

I seriously hope that you consider reading The Secret Roommate. This may be book 4 in the Accidentally in Love series, but you do not need to read the others to enjoy this one. So if the tropes I mentioned above appeal to you, then go get a copy of the book. It releases on October 3rd, so you have a short wait.

Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts. Should you read The Secret Roommate, please let me know, and we can discuss!

All I need is a place to hide for a few weeks.

The paparazzi were on my ass 24/7 and I needed a bit of breathing room—an escape from the madness—before the media frenzy begins.

Sure, I could have gone to a secluded cabin in the woods—but I didn’t want to be bored out of my mind. I’d seen enough wide open spaces as a kid from Texas to last me a lifetime.

So instead, I let my agent hook me up with a modest house in the burbs where we didn’t think anyone would find me hiding in plain sight.

I’d have a roommate; but supposedly, she was going to give me space. Stay out of my way and respect my boundaries. According to my agent, I wouldn’t hear a peep from her.

Wrong. He was wrong about everything and now my life was never going to be the same.

Football is one hundred percent the focus of my life—until a squawking toddler, with a temper to rival my own, lands in my lap and flips my life upside down.

I’ll never be Dad of the Year. Anyone will tell you that. Except maybe Sienna, my sister’s former roommate, who somehow manages to make my broody ass laugh and sees something in me no one else does.

When Sienna offers to let me and my little princess move in with her, I’m not sure if it’s to help or because she wants revenge on my teammate and long-time rival, who broke her heart.

Either way, I’m game. Because I need to get my ex off my back, and Sienna doesn’t mind pretending to be my girlfriend.

Only neither of us is ready for the sparks that fly between us or the consequences when they do.

The MRS Degree by Sara Ney {a review}

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Sara Ney comes a new series about strong, single girls falling in love: accidentally. Today is release day for The MRS Degree! This is the second book in the series, and I have been anticipating this book since finishing The Player Hater!

If you read The Player Hater, then you've already been introduced to Penelope and Skipper. You also know how The Player Hater ended, and that may have piqued your curiosity. Well I'm here to tell you that The MRS Degree picks up just about where we left off. We back track slightly but it's worth it to build the scene where Pen sees Jack for the first time in about 8 years. It sets the stage for everything that is about to go down.

I knew that Penelope and Jack's story was going to be intense and a tad bit emotional, and I was not disappointed one bit. From that scene at the door, to the "secret" being revealed to EVERYONE, to the eventual reconnection, it was all just so good.

These two college sweethearts were separated out of fear. Pen thought that she was doing what was right based on a conversation she and Jack had. She was protecting him, and allowing him to follow his passions. At the same time she was running from a difficult conversation. Had they talked it through, the outcome would have been different. Now though they get their second chance at forever. This time with a sidekick at their side.

Penelope, Jack, and Skipper grabbed my attention, and I did not want their story to end. The characters were wonderful, and the storyline captivating. So glad to see them getting their happily ever after.

Jack is an amazing character. He was loving, caring, charming, all while being a genuine stand up guy. He loves hard, and he is a protector as well. You could see how the truth that Penelope revealed affected him. You could see him taking initiative to do whatever it took for his family.

As for Skipper, she's just an amazing kid. So full of energy, loves to talk, and loves her family with all that she is. The bond that she has with her Uncle is incredible. He's part of her support system. 

I loved how Sara Ney handled this topic. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Decisions had to be made. Feelings were felt. Truths were revealed. The world our characters knew was just flipped upside down. It shook them all a bit. 

I also quite enjoyed how we went back to Jack and Penelope's relationship in college. We were able to learn more about the connection our characters had, and the love they had was undeniable. Going back and forth between that time, and current time was something that helped build the book.

The set up for The Make Out Artist has me intrigued. I will definitely be adding that one to my anticipated reads list for July.

This second chance, single parent, secret child, sports romance was so dang good. Sara Ney has created a great group of characters. They draw in the reader, and at least for me, have me wondering what is going to happen next for them.

Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts on The MRS Degree. This book gave me everything I wanted. Highly suggest you pick up the Accidentally in Love series.

Happy Reading,
Laura




I never thought I would get pregnant in college.

When I did, I thought leaving Jack Jennings was doing him a giant favor—he had a bright future ahead of him as a football star—the last thing he needed was me and a baby standing in his way of his dreams.

Honestly? I figured he would eventually forget about me.

I would raise our child in secret and watch Jack on television, and the pain of what I’d done to him would heal.

The last person I expected to see on my brothers doorstep seven years later was Jack; obviously, or I wouldn’t have answered it.

A superstitious athlete, dreams were keeping him awake at night that were preventing him from excelling on the field—dreams he was hoping I could make…disappear.

He looked so good. So much older.
Kind. Handsome.

Turns out, he hadn’t forgotten about me either, and he hadn’t put our past behind him.

Tight End by Lisa Suzanne {a review}


Today is the day that Vegas Aces season 3 is wrapping up. Vegas Aces: The Tight End by Lisa Suzanne was a wonderful journey from fake relationship to one that will last a lifetime. Ben and Kaylee both evolved so much throughout this series, it was absolutely wonderful.

My rating on Goodreads for Tight End was 4.5 stars. I loved it so. This entire series has secured a spot in my favorites list. (which no, there is no physical list at this point, it's all just in my brain.)

If you've  been following along, then you know that Vegas Aces: The Tight End is a continuous series, and books 1-4 each end with a cliffhanger. Therefore I simply cannot recap the book as there is too high of a risk for spoilers. Trust me when I say, the description that Lisa Suzanne has written provides you all the information you need. So let's jump into my thoughts...

Oh my goodness did Tight End have me loving Kaylee and Ben even more! Yes I've been obsessed with their story from the beginning. This fifth, and final, book though just wonderful. The storylines were mostly wrapped up (I do have a couple questions still up in the air), the secret I called back in Tight Laced was 100% confirmed, the reunion was everything I wanted, and I just fell even harder for these characters. Oh, and I was also right about a character being sketchy.

Can I tell you where I still have questions? Erm, probably not since it would be spoiler-ish. Ugh. I need to talk to someone about it! Guess I'll go to the spoiler room and discuss it there.

Lisa Suzanne knows how to write a story that grabs your attention, and has you on the edge of your seat for the entirety. These characters that she has created in the Vegas Aces world are phenomenal. They are memorable. I cannot wait to see them reappear in season 4. And yes, there is going to be a season 4! The set up is perfect, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!

If you haven't started the series yet, then now would be the perfect time. All the books are out, so you don't really need to worry about the cliffhangers. Find your favorite reading spot, grab your kindle (or the paperbacks!), and fall for Ben & Kaylee.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on Vegas Aces: The Tight End. All five books were fantastic, and I highly recommend that you read them.

Happy Reading,
Laura



I knew playing with my feelings was a huge gamble with someone like him, but I did it anyway. And now I’ve learned the hard lesson that gambling and life in Vegas just aren’t for me.

I have a lot of decisions I need to make on my own, so I take a job that will allow me to relocate, regroup, and make new friends as I try to figure out what comes next for me.

One of those new friends is a hot former baseball player who is also my temporary new roommate. Even though I find myself attracted to him, I’m carrying too much weight from my past to move forward.

I need to find a way to move on from my tight end, and the only way to do that is to tell him the truth that will change both of our futures forever.


TIGHT END is the final book in the VEGAS ACES: THE TIGHT END series. This series must be read in order.

Tight Laced by Lisa Suzanne {a review}



Tight Laced is officially available! That's right, today is the day that Lisa Suzanne releases the book, and you all need to go pick it up NOW! Trust me on that. Or, you know, wait two weeks, and then binge the entire series when Tight End is released. Totally your choice. That being said, I do hope you pick up this series because it is simply fantastic!




If you've been following along, you'll know that I have read all the books so far. I am hooked on Ben and Kaylee. Their story has drawn me in. Maybe it's the brother's best friend trope, the fake dating trope, the age gap, the forced proximity, or maybe it's Lisa Suzanne's storytelling. In all reality, it's a mix of all of it. 

This is typically the part of the post where I recap the book. As this is a continuation of an on going story, I am not going to do that. If I were to do that, it would lead to spoilers from the previous three books, and I'm just not that person. The description, shared below, should give you a general idea of what to expect in Tight Laced.

On to my random thoughts regarding the book....

Let's start with my rating. I have given Tight Laced 4.5 stars. I could not put this book down, and am finding myself still thinking about everything that happened. Both in Montana and back in Vegas. A lot happened in this book!

THIS FREAKING SERIES! I just can't.

This book had me loving Ben and Kaylee all the more. Also, while my speculation from Tight Fit wasn't 100% confirmed, based on what I read, I'm right. AHH! I cannot wait to see how Ben reacts. I have a feeling he's not going to react well at first, but then will change his tune. 

So much happened in this book, and I want to talk about it all, but I really can't because spoilers. From the situation with Kitty and Eric, to Jack's wedding, to returning to Montana, to everything that happened IN Montana, it's just a lot. And it's all necessary to the storyline. I do desperately want to know Eric's game plan. I mean we know what he revealed in Tight Fit, but there's more to the story. I just know it!

Ben's mom continues to rub me the wrong way. Her new husband is sketchy. Tatum is Tatum, and I cannot wait to find out what she's hiding. Craig has my attention too. He's hiding something. 
I don't trust him. AT ALL. These damn secrets need to be revealed.

I am glad that the one secret was revealed even if it wasn't shared at the best time. Or by the right person. The reaction that occurred when that was shared...I get it. I do. But at the same time why? Sigh.

I love that even with a house full of friends, Ben and Kaylee were able to carve out some time for themselves, all while keeping their relationship a secret. See the horse ride. Hello steamy moment.

I want to say so much more, but I can't without spoiling things. The last thing I will say is that the reaction to the relationship being discovered wasn't what I had built up in my head. I pictured much more intense feelings, and verbal sparring. But I love the way Lisa Suzanne handled it.

Oh, and that ending? Lisa Suzanne you're torturing me! I cannot wait to see how all of this wraps up in Tight End.

Thank you for reading my vague thoughts about Tight Laced. I know I was all over the place, and things might not make 100% sense. That was me trying to censor myself, while trying to still give a bit of info. I genuinely hope that you'll pick up this entire series. I love season 1, season 2, and am over the moon with this third season. Lisa Suzanne has done an incredible job.

Laura



One of us will have to give up the future we’ve dreamed of if we’re going to make this work.

It’s not going to be me. We can’t both have that same thought if we want to stay together when our contract ends.

But the more I see him struggle against the things his mother does to him, the harder I fall. The more his ex tries to get in his way, the more I want to stand up for him.

And the more adventures he takes me on through the peaceful dream of his estate in the wilderness, the more I can see myself staying by his side.

I might be willing to bend my tight laced ideas for the future…but it might not matter since someone else is holding all the cards.

TIGHT LACED is the fourth book in the VEGAS ACES: THE TIGHT END series. This series must be read in order.

Worth Every Second by Jocelyne Soto {a review}


Worth Every Second is a complete standalone, college romance from Jocelyne Soto. If you enjoy opposites attract, friends to lovers, and/or sports romance, then you need to read this book!

Now, this book does have content warnings. I'll be honest and say the brunt of it is in the opening of the story. The topic is discussed further into the book, so be prepared for that. Jocelyne handled the topic carefully. It isn't graphic. It isn't detailed. It just happens to one of our characters. If you are looking for more information in regards to these trigger warnings, please visit Jocelyne's website.

Let's dive into the recap!

Summer football camps are over, and Hunter is returning to campus early to surprise his girlfriend. Except when he arrives, it is Hunter who receives the surprise. After everything that went down, Hunter finds himself googling how to get over a break up. That leads him to a website where pictures are shared, friendship can be formed, and it's all fairly anonymous. Hunter decides to jump in, and posts a picture of his own. It is this picture that leads to Selena and Hunter beginning an online relationship. They are frequently sharing pictures, talking, and getting comfortable with each other. Shortly there after it is discovered that they live in the same area. Outside of that conversation, school is starting up. At the beginning of one class, Hunter decides to sit next to this beautiful girl, rather than with his teammate whom he's upset with. Hunter has no clue that the woman he's just sat next to is the same woman he's been talking with online. Throughout the semester they get to know each other, and feelings are bubbling up. Yet at the same time, there is also this online relationship happening. What happens when the truth is revealed? What happens when the past comes up to haunt you? What will happen if the pictures are shared? Can you trust this person again?

Worth Every Second was an interesting read, and it held my attention from cover to cover. The way it began had me curious as to how that scenario was going to affect the character in future situations. I also wasn't 100% which character it was. That was revealed later on though, so you do figure it out.

Selena and Hunter are both amazing characters. I enjoyed their interactions both in person, and in the online setting. I did find myself wondering when the truth would be revealed, and how that would happen. Then of course I also wondered if the photos would be revealed for others to see, who would be behind all of it, and how would that be discovered. 

I related to Selena in many ways, and she is an amazing character. Not only is she a quieter person, someone who enjoys reading (romance novels at that!), is more of a wallflower except around those she's comfortable with, she also struggles with body image. It's more than all that though. It's also the fact that she is passionate, and she is determined. Selena knows what she wants to do, and is going to d it! Hunter drew me in as well, and you could see that who he projected to others wasn't who he truly is. So it was nice to see him show that side of himself to Selena. Football is something he's passionate about, but there is more to him. He is a family person. He is smart. He is determined to make his future what he wants it to be. I love it!

I will say that I struggled with Hunter's dad quite a bit. The little we know about him had me realizing he doesn't truly care about his son. He cares about the fact that his son is a talented athlete, who has the potential for a professional athletic career. With that comes money. So pushing his son to do all of this, is just to get money in HIS pocket, not for his son's benefit. That just rubbed me wrong. As well as the information regarding the dad's relationship with Hunter's siblings. Ugh.

Let's talk about that content warning for a moment. I'm not going to name it. But everything our character experienced broke my heart. I gasped. My hand flew to my mouth, and I wanted to sob. Then when the flashback occurred, and they had to revisit this trauma, I was gutted. I was very thankful that the other character rushed out to find the other, stood by their side as the memories hit, and guided them through it. It showed support. It showed caring. It showed how this character could be leaned upon. That truth being revealed was difficult, but love and grace were by their side.

Now, about the moment of conflict, or rather moments of conflict. I knew it was coming. I had a general idea of what was going to happen. But how it played out, I wasn't fully prepared for. There was hurt, frustration, anger, and heartbreak. Feelings were formed. Trust was established. But in these moments it felt like all of that was obliterated. Underneath it all though there was still love flowing. There was still that connection. That friendship. That desire for a future with the other. And, in my mind, that is what helped guide them back together.

I loved so much of this story. From the online connection, to the in person friendship that was formed, to the start of the relationship, it all drew me in. These characters drew me in. They felt real. They felt genuine. Everything felt right. And I love that. Yes there were difficult moments, but that is something that most of us deal with in life. Some are just more difficult or traumatic than others. Rating wise I opted to give Worth Every Second 4 stars. 

Worth Every Second was worth every moment I spent with the characters in their little world. I cannot wait to find out what book Hunter and Selena make an appearance in. And I know they will pop up again because Jocelyne said so! Consider my curiosity piqued.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on Worth Every Second. This is the fourth book of Jocelyne Soto's that I have read, and let me tell you, I am hooked. I can safely say that she is now an auto-buy author, and I will be reading all of her back list titles.

Posting “certain types” of pictures online is never a good idea. Especially when you’re the star player of your college football team. ⁣

But I did it anyway. ⁣

Never did I think that by posting my pictures online that I would find someone that I would actually be interested in.⁣

But I did.⁣

I saw her pictures, she commented on mine and the conversations were nonstop. She was the girl of my dreams and I wanted to meet her. Who knew that the girl of my dreams was the shy girl that sat next to me all semester. ⁣

Now that I know who she is, I want my shot. Only if she would give it to me. Every chance she gets I get turned down, but I'm not giving up. ⁣

I will show her that she is worth it, even if she may not think so. ⁣

Campus God by Jennifer Sucevic {a review}

Campus God, the fourth book in the Campus Series from Jennifer Sucevic, is now available! If you are someone who 1) enjoys football romances, 2) enjoys college romance, and/or 3) enjoys a good hate to love slash enemies to lovers story, then you need to go read Campus God NOW!

This is the second book in the Campus series that I have read. I had previously read Campus Hottie, and enjoyed that story.  That being said, Campus God had me hooked from the very first page. I'm not going to recap this book, as the description gives you all the info you need. So with that, let's jump into my thoughts.

The hate to love between Crosby and Brooke was strong. Yes he was trying to keep his distance from her, and being an ass made it so she couldn't like him. Not to mention that Crosby is roommates (and teammates) with her jerk of an ex.

As the story developed though, you could see the true Crosby starting to make an appearance. He dropped the mask, and really started to show Brooke who he is. I loved that.

Of course I also fully enjoyed that these two had this online/texting relationship before anything developed in person. It was in those moments where Crosby shined. Yes, Crosby could have easily told her that he was the person she was texting, but it was a slippery slope. 

The only thing in the story that I didn't care for was Brooke's mom. I didn't truly understand the dynamic there. I needed more backstory there to fully grasp the situation.

The moment of conflict pulled me in. I have fallen for these two characters, and was rooting for them the entire time. These two may have started off as enemies, but friendship was formed, and then ultimately a happily ever after occurred. I still want to smack Brooke's ex. That freaking man-child had me so angry. Crosby was there to soothe the pain that his "buddy" caused.

As their story wound down, I found myself looking at Asher. The setup for his story has drawn me in, and I look forward to reading that when the time comes. I have a feeling it's going to be a doozy.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on Campus God. If enemies to lovers, hate to love, or college romance is your preference, then please go download this book. It was so dang good!

Laura




Crosby Rhodes is considered a god when it comes to Western Wildcats football.

And who knows, he might just be one.  There’s certainly no shortage of girls on campus who agree with the sentiment.  They swoon over his pretty face, dark messy hair, and hard body honed from years of lifting and two-a-day practices.  That alone makes him catnip for the female species.

Add a lip ring and surly disposition to the package and you can understand what all the fuss is about.

Would I be included in that majority?

Hell, no.

As far as I’m concerned, Crosby can eat shit and die.  The guy is a major jerk.  Not to mention, a pain in my assets.  And that’s putting it nicely.  For reasons I’ve never understood, he goes out of his way to humiliate and hurt me.  His barbed comments are always a direct hit before exploding on impact.

I’d love to know what I did to elicit such hatred but that would involve conversing with him and I refuse to do that.  There’s only one more semester before graduation.  Surely, we can get through the next six months without coming to blows.

That’s the hope, anyway.

Which is exactly why I’m thrown off guard when my nemesis pulls me aside and suggests a truce.  Do I necessarily trust him after everything he’s put me through?

Nope.  For the time being, I’ll agree so there can once again be peace in the kingdom all the while keeping him at a firm distance.  Except that turns out to be impossible.  Everywhere I go, there he is.  It’s like I can’t get away from him.  More shocking than that, he’s actually being nice.

If stomping out the underlying attraction that constantly flared to life between us was difficult before, it’s all but impossible now.  But that’s exactly what I’m going to do.  I’ve been burned by one athlete, I’ll be damned if I allow it to happen again.
