Fall in Love with Me: Couple Edition by Willow Winters

emotional hopeful fast-paced

5.0

Do you think that you could find and fall in love with your soul mate over and over again? Because that’s what happens to Aubrey and Bennet in the Fall in Love With Me Collection. Each short story was an alternate life where Bennet was a Handyman, a doctor, a bartender, a mechanic, a chef and each time Aubrey and Bennet find each other and fall madly in love. They knew that they loved each other so quickly and they went full speed ahead. I couldn’t put this book down because of how emotional invested I became with these two. This was my favorite love story of the year, yes, of the year.

This was an amazing enemies to lovers hockey romance. I absolutely how from the beginning Ziggy and Elliot did not get on. And the fact after meeting he called her a barnacle! I would have been so pissed. They had heated words every time Ziggy interviewed him, and it was kinda hot. Elliot definitely fell first and he was as not happy about that at all, but being with her helped him clear his head and focus on the game. The spice between these two was so good, it was if they couldn’t help it. And ladies he is pierced!!! Yummy! I really enjoyed watching this super secret hook ups slowly turn in more for both of them.

Oh my gosh, Bossman was such an amazing story. I absolutely loved how Reese and Chase met. Chase was such a confident man and who doesn’t love that? I loved his ability to weave tall tales at the drop of a hat. And Reese is just like my best friend, wonderful, smart and so much to give. There’s something so hot about how Chase made it crystal clear how interested he was and he kept pushing to until Reese couldn’t say no. The story is not only fun but it’s also emotional, Chase had lost a lot. And watching both Reese and Chase shared there hurts and struggles was special. I read Bossman in one afternoon because I could not put it down, and I regret nothing.

I absolutely loved The Night Before Grumpmass, it was the perfect holiday romance. Noelle was a 1000% sunshine to everyone she encounters and I love that . And Jacob is a giant grump, and she sees it and she decides that’s she’s going to be extra nice. But the thing is Noelle just loves the holidays, all of them. And Jacob  is just so bah humbug about everything that she does……and she doesn’t care. And the fact that she doesn’t care makes him secretly like her even more. I was so invested in watching Noelle slowly chip away at his hard exterior, because she found a dirty mouthed man who was obsessed with everything she did. This was 100% fun and a must read for the holiday season.

Promised In Blood picks up right where forged In Blood ended. And man did I tear through this book, and I loved every second of it. Ophelia is coming in to her power and learning to control it in some very spicy ways. Alexandros has lots of secrets from his past that come out and that shock Kia, Xavier and Axl. The plot is full of questions, RH spice and  Ophelia’s past coming to light. I can say with each book in Broken Bloodlines, I get more and more hooked. The cliffhanger had me absolutely screaming! How am I to live my life with so many questions? I can’t wait for book 3!

What an amazing book The Interview was, and the narrators Aria and Elliot are so dang good. This was my first book that was narrated by Elliot Matthews and I loved his voice. And Aria was the perfect sunshine girl that you can’t not smile when she’s around. From the first chapter the book was so hot, when he mistakes her for someone else and gives her a very unorthodox “interview “. Watching Whit fight his attraction for Mimi was so fun, especially when she would push his buttons. Knowing that Mimi came to London to climb Whit like a tree, was pretty awesome. I love a girl who knows what she wants. The Interview had a great story, the characters are lovable and the spice was perfection.

What happens when you realize you’ve been left at the alter?  It’s definitely not marry the hot silver fox you noticed while you walked down the aisle…..or is it? From the very first chapter I was hooked, hot silver fox you say? Yes, yes please. And the most delicious twist is that he’s her ex-fiancés estranged father!!! So not only do you get age gap you get forbidden (and so much more) and now I’m hooked. There is nothing I didn’t love about The Imperfect Marriage, Quinton was a Daddy Dom, who I would submit to any day. And Vivian was a wonderful caring woman who put everyone’s needs ahead her own, but was also the perfect brat. Not only was The Imperfect Marriage spicy but the story and the characters were perfection!

Please let explain to me how Better Than The Beach can have such a great story in such a short amount of pages, because i am blown away. When Cassie’s flight got cancelled due to a snow storm, little did she know that kind bartender would lead a deck shuffling of her life. Cassie (23) was such a fun character who was wanting a vacation before she started the spring semester. Nolan (34) was a hot older professor who was going through a divorce and was visiting his family for the holidays. When these to meet isn’t sparks and oh man did you feel the heat! I absolutely loved every single character in this book especially Nan. She has the perfect Nanta Clause that anyone would want in their corner. Alexis Paige was an amazing Cassie, she had her sass on point. And Grayson Owens definitely had the perfect husky voice that definitely gave me the professor vibe. Better Than the Beach was a swoon worthy holiday novella.

If you are looking for a holiday novella with hilarious banter, amazing family/friends and just an all around good time, Santa Monica Baby is for you. I loved how Austin and Nellie ran in to each other at the turkey trot and that one interaction opened up the door for them. Austin is just the best guy, sweet and caring with a Daddy Dom side ( yes please). And Nellie was a bad ass career woman who had put work above relationships until our teddy bear of a man Austin comes to town. And the spice is fun, naughty and a little messy, hello the Ferris wheel scene!! There is nothing about this book that I didn’t enjoy and I don’t think I can look at Santa the same way ever again. And I don’t think I want to.

What’s a sweet marriage of convenience  Don’t Tell Me Twice was. I loved that Perla came from a big Italian family and had 3 sister’s who were all incredibly close, I wish I was part of the Morelli  clan!  And Frankie was just a good guy, always looking out for his friends, even Perla. The fact that he showed up for Perla more than her jerk boyfriend Chris, made me love him. And watching the two of them dance around their feelings for one another had me on edge. I loved that Frankie would leave her sweet notes on post had me melting at the adorableness. This is a great closed door marriage of convenience book that will have you rooting for Frankie and Perla until the very last page.
