Review for Love in the End Zone (A Never Say Never Football Romance) by Carina Rose

 Release Date: April 12

Pro quarterbacks regularly face tough linemen determined to knock them down—but for one hotshot athlete, it was an infuriating blonde who stood the best chance of laying him on his back.

I was one of the top quarterbacks in the league, riding high after scoring a lucrative deal with the DC Rockets. Fans adored me, sponsors wanted me, and women, well, they were eager to date me. Except my life revolved around football, not falling in love.

Until I saw her.

I’d just scored the winning touchdown, sending the Rockets into the playoffs and ending the Virginia Thunder’s season. I spiked the ball and basked in the fans’ cheers. I’d done it. But then I took off my helmet and locked eyes with a gorgeous blonde.

She wasn’t cheering. Instead, she stood with her arms crossed, glaring at me. I smirked and winked, hoping to soften her murderous expression. Except it had the opposite effect. Rather than smiling back, she lifted her hand and extended her middle finger before disappearing into the crowd.

That was unexpected.

After my press conference, I couldn’t stop thinking about the woman in the stands. It didn’t help that social media had turned our interaction into a meme, and then I found out that the beauty was none other than Reese Parker, granddaughter of Charles Parker, owner of the Virginia Thunder. Which explained her reaction… sort of.

I should prep for the playoffs, but all I wanted to do was convince her I wasn’t enemy number one—and that scoring with me would be her best move.

We have to say we really enjoyed the funny romance, it had a really great cast of characters that made it a lot of fun.

Let's talk characters loved Reese, you were funny and bright and caring and had a wicked sense of humor. Jackson loved him for coming up with the nickname bird, it fits and makes us smile every time he says it.
Trent was a super nice guy with an engaging personality, he was also persistent and even a bit cocky and genuinely down to earth guy.

Loved the slow burn romance, it was all about a common connection between Trent and Reese that smolder and the love of the game. Friendship before hanky-panky!
This couple just fit and had a lot in common. With every new relationship, there are ups and downs but, their connection with one another will be what pulls them through the harder times.

Overall, just loved it. The story had us smiling throughout, the story, and it was engaging and fun and had wonderful characters we are loving Alexa and Jackson they are becoming some of our favorites. The end just perfection for this couple!

Book Review for ONCE UPON A KISS by Carina Rose

 Release Date: October 13

When Lacey Winters escapes her stressful New York City life for a relaxing winter vacation in the Caribbean, she's ready to get some sun and enjoy a little time to herself. But her plans for peace and tranquility are shattered when she finds that her ex-boyfriend is already at the same resort--and with the same woman Lacey found him cheating with. 

Reeling from the shock and determined to prove she's moved on, Lacey impulsively kisses a handsome stranger she spotted on the beach for all to see.

As for the stranger in question, Drew Mitchell was just looking for a fun getaway from his busy life in Chicago. He's surprised, but pleased at this unexpected turn of events and agrees to pose as Lacey's new boyfriend.

As they explore their tropical surroundings as a couple, Drew finds himself drawn toward Lacey. Now, all he has to do is convince her their romance is real and strong enough to flourish once their vacation is over, while Lacey must decide if she's ready to take the leap and fall in love.

Let's start off by saying this is a first-time author for us and our first read by them was super sweet.

I have to say this was a cute and fun read with likable characters. Lacy and Drew meet on a tropical island where Lacy decided to take her vacation that was meant for herself and her ex to celebrate her birthday but, the idiot follows her with his new girlfriend. Shocking right? Typical douche bag...

Drew and Lacy's introduction was an unusual one but, one that was an impressionable one at least for Drew. Although this couple's courtship was an unusual one this couple just clicked, and they had amazing chemistry and both had a heart of gold.

Overall I enjoyed the story about finding love when you weren't even looking. If you are looking for a lot of hotness this isn't that kind of read but, the connection between these two characters was undeniably sweet. The ending of the story was just perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
