NEW REVIEW & TOP FAVORITE: Stuck-Up Suit by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward (Read my Review) 
What an AWESOME book!! I read it in one sitting because I could NOT put it down even for a minute!! It was exactly the kind of book I was looking for. The story started off as SEXY, SASSY, and SWOONY with an intriguing story and fun banter. Then turned HOT and HEART-WARMING, right before a huge TWIST that brought all the ANGST and FEELS!! It was the perfect blend of everything I could hope for in an ADDICTIVE romance! I loved it! Grab a copy here!

“I didn’t expect him to text back.
I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.
I didn’t expect to fall for him –all before we even met…”
