I LOVED Cash. I'm so far in my cowboy romance era it's not even funny. I loved how raw the storyline was. There was true grief, hardship, and vulnerability portrayed in the story. And the backdrop of the book being a ranch in Texas, well, you can't beat it! The slow burn romance didn't hurt either ;)
Jessica Peterson created characters in Mollie and Cash that will stay with me for a long time. Their tension, witty banter, tenderness, and hilarious family dinners made this book one I couldn't put down! Jessica wrote a book so much deeper than the average cowboy romance, and everyone needs to read it now!!

This book was SO good. I love me a good hockey romance, but this book had some depth to it as well. Josie had a bucket list of things her aunt told her to do before passing away, and along the way Wes is recruited to help her accomplish them.
Wes also has dyslexia, which plays a big part in the book, and I think that will encourage a lot of readers!

“…different faces for every role, and those are the faces the world sees. But I see him as himself.”
This book. Y’all I can’t even. This is not your ordinary beach read, chick lit romance. Even though it’s about a super star actor and a PA, it’s got depth. Like major depth.
This book helps to normalize therapy, grief, and so much more. I loved that it is a dual POV, both of which are in first person! I know that’s not for everyone but I love being able to see inside someone’s thoughts and motivations!
I highly recommend this book!!! And you can read it on Kindle Unlimited…which is basically free right? #girlmath

LOVED this one!!! This will NOT be my last Max Monroe book!!
Cheerleader meets bad boy who fights a LOT, (and for HER) making them feel like a forbidden love. Add in a secret society, (with lots of secrets obviously), prank wars, and amazing side characters and you've got an absolute home run of a book!!
Tropes:
- New adult standalone romance
- Dual POV
- Love at first sight
- Cheerleader meets the tortured bad boy
- Grumpy/Sunshine
- He FIGHTS for her
- College Drama
- AMAZING BANTER
- Secrets
- Twists & turns
Anyway back to their book.. Go read it now!!!

This was my first Laura Pavlov book, but it definitely won't be my last!!! Now I have to go back and read the first 3 books in the Magnolia Falls series!!
Laura is simply the queen of romance! Small town, single dad, close proximity, city girl/country boy...I mean those tropes are such winners!! Beefcake stole the show, but I still LOVED Nash and Emerson's storyline.
If you like AMAZING romance and HEAS, go read Laura's books! NOW!!
