Believe in Me by Alexandria House
3.0
I didn't like this as much as the first one in the series... there were some great parts (like Zo threatening her ex.... HILARIOUS) but there was also jealousy and lack of communication and multiple quick fights at the end. I hate to say it but maybe it'd have been better if they hadn't each forgave right away?
Harbor by Rebekah Weatherspoon
2.0
This is a rough premise for a book - her fiancee was found shot in dead with their girlfriend. "Their" because they were in a polyamorous relationship with her.
They connect after the funerals/investigations and bond on the hurt and trauma they face from the cheating and death of their partners.
This book didn't exactly hit the right marks for me. I think the relationship between Shaw and Brook was underdeveloped, and Vaughn and Brook was too rushed. I would've liked more exploration of Shaw's commitment issues, why he wants to stay in Cape Cod instead of moving in with Vaughn, the topic of marriage, etc.

In most grumpy/sunshine books the guy is well meaning and winds up being soft. Silas is just... not soft. He's actually awkward as F and doesn't know how to talk to women. Repeatedly. But it's so cute!
Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon
4.0
Ugh, I love Rebekah Weatherspoon. I don't know what I was expecting from this book but it literally starts with the hero sexting someone / opening his front door to a woman screaming for help / shooting a man.
Shep isn't a perfect hero. I actually liked the imperfections, the arguments, the stiffness, the awkwardness between him and Claudia throughout the book.
I do wish we got an epilogue or a longer reunion between them but... maybe in book 2 they'll cameo!

A Cowboy to Remember by Rebekah Weatherspoon

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this one because I don't love an amnesia plot. Even though this also featured my fav trope (childhood friends), there was so little time with Evie being "herself" I struggled just a tad. It was still good and fun, just wish we got a dab more of her and Zach at the end. And maybe more of how she kept up with Jesse and Sam in the 10 years prior!

I love Alexandria House's books because she keeps them pretty low angst and the guys are always SIMPS for their women. More. More MOOOORE.
A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah Weatherspoon
5.0
UGH I LOOOOOOVED THIS ONE. I kind of knew I would.
Jesse is 6'7". He's awkward. He's angry. He's in therapy! He's protective of his family. He doesn't really fit in anywhere. He's a cowboy who's afraid of horses.
Lily-Grace is back in town. They knew each other as kids - he had a crush on her as kids. And now? Well she hates him because her dad is dating his grandma and Jesse was not very nice to him.
There's a date auction. STEAMY STEAM. So much cuteness, because Lily-Grace is so protective of Jesse.
Jesse is marshmallow fluff on the inside. MARSHMALLOW FLUFF!!!!!

Sanctuary: A Noire Immortals Story by Alexandria House
2.0
This book wasn't what I was expecting! Couple things:
- It's QUICK. 2 hours on audio
- Second chance romance - they were high school sweethearts, he disappeared after prom
- Paranormal elements - this is what I really wasn't expecting
- What they did on audio was cool because even when it was the guy's POV (guy narrating), the female narrator gave the heroine's dialogue, and vice versa
Midnight Ruin by Katee Robert
3.5
So I didn't love book 4 (Apollo/Cassandra, just found it kinda meh) or book 5 (Pandora+Eris/Theseus/Adonis, felt like a filler book and wasn't sold on the romance)... this one was better but again, kind of felt like a filler book.
It's clear Olympus is ramping up to a conflict/war. And so as we get there, the plot is kind of disjointed? It's heavy on the romance which isn't bad, but I think that because book 3 (my fav) weaved plot SO WELL through the isolated competition... these kind of pale.
It's still good. I'm still enjoying the series. I'm VERY excited for Ariadne and the Minotaur's book, mainly because I love the proximity / same household / "we can't be together" / stalker vibes.

If the Boot Fits by Rebekah Weatherspoon

I love Rebekah Weatherspoon. I'll read whatever she writes TBH. And this was really fun - a Cinderella retelling between an actor who just won an Oscar and had a one night stand with a woman who makes a quick getaway the next morning, who happens to be an assistant to a D-list actress.
I LOVED the touches of the California ranch. Please, tell me more.
