New Release & Reviews for Fake it 'Til Christmas Kindle Edition by Claudia Burgoa

 

 IT’S HERE! 

FAKE IT ‘TIL CHRISTMAS by @claudia_b30 is NOW LIVE!

From USA Today Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa comes a laugh-out-loud holiday romcom stuffed with festive tension, found family, and a fake relationship that spirals delightfully out of control.

She’s glitter, chaos, and sunshine.

He’s broody, grumpy, and allergic to feelings.

Together?

They’re the fake couple nobody knew they needed—but everyone’s about to fall for.

 What to expect:

 Grumpy/Sunshine

Soren and Winnifred, neighbors with a shared goal of getting their parents off their backs, embark on a fake relationship for a family event. Their story unfolds as a slow-burning romance, delving into family dynamics, friendships, emotions, and humor.

To be candid, we initially struggled to connect with this story; it was our first time that this has happened with this author. While we weren't entirely fond of it, we found Winnifred to be a delightful character. Her quirky, fun, and interesting personality, coupled with her ability to make us laugh with her antics, was a breath of fresh air. On the other hand, Soren was an okay character, likable but not particularly lovable.

The family dynamics of both families didn't resonate with us, and we found the other characters to be somewhat lackluster. Despite our admiration for Winnifred, the lack of chemistry between the characters left us wanting more. The slow-burning romance took too long to develop, with significant plot progression occurring only towards the end of the story. However, we did appreciate the entertaining text conversations that elicited laughter. Soren's courage in stepping out of his comfort zone to confess his feelings was commendable, and the banter between Freddie and Soren added a touch of humor. Winnifred's infectious personality brought out a different side of Soren, encouraging him to embrace life and overcome his fears of intimacy.

In conclusion, while the story had its shortcomings, the witty banter and character development added depth to the narrative. Winnifred and Soren's evolving relationship, though delayed, showcased a journey of personal growth and newfound connections.

SE Rose

Roxy Benedict’s dream of opening a romance bookstore is coming true. Finally, things are going her way, until her new neighbor starts complaining that she’s too loud.

Grayson Porter loves his quiet building. But when a noisy tenant moves in, he’s left wondering if he can finish composing a soundtrack for a film. As a musician, this could be his big break. If he doesn’t get some peace and quiet soon, he’s going to lose his mind.

But Grayson has another, potentially bigger problem. He might have lied to the film producer that he had a girlfriend. When their landlord decides to set them up on a blind date for a party with the film’s cast and crew, the two are shocked and about to call off their date, until the film’s producer takes a liking to Roxy. Roxy sees her chance to win over her grumpy neighbor and Grayson sees a chance to impress a potential client. The question is: How long can this truce last?

And then, there is their apartment building. A mystery over a missing neighbor has Roxy and Grayson spending even more time together. These two neighbors are faking romance for their own benefit, but will the playing pretend turn into something more?

This story was incredible. The plot was engaging, and the characters were fun and entertaining, making us laugh throughout the entire story.

We particularly enjoyed the family and friends dynamic in the world of the characters. The kindness and generosity among them were heartwarming, and the characters' antics were hilarious. Little Ava was especially endearing, and the mystery surrounding the park added an intriguing element to the story. 

While the focus was on Grayson and Roxy, the side characters added depth and fun to the narrative. They deserve a shout-out for making the story engaging and enjoyable. Roxy and Grayson's relationship had a charming meet-cute vibe, and their

fake romance blossomed into something genuine. They supported each other, listened attentively, and had undeniable chemistry, making their connection beautiful and authentic.

 The ending was perfect, leaving us satisfied and hopeful for the other characters' happily ever afters. We look forward to seeing more of their stories unfold.

Release & Review for Dirty Secret Love by Claudia Burgoa

DIRTY SECRET LOVE

Claudia Burgoa

Release Date: January 8

 

DIRTY SECRET LOVE

Claudia Burgoa

Release Date: January 8

  From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes an angsty, fake-fiance, opposites attract, secret billionaire romance. What do you do when you’re tired of being the loser? You make up the perfect fiancé, of course. I know it sounds desperate, but hear me out. In my family, everyone is someone. But me? I’m just a small-town librarian with no prospects and no future. At every family reunion, my older sister reminds me of that fact. So when she announced her own upcoming nuptials, I knew I had to act fast. I needed a fake fiancé to bring to the wedding and prove that I was happy and successful too. Enter River Kershaw, the town playboy. My bestie Wren suggested him, and I was hesitant at first. He's the complete opposite of me: a charming extrovert. But I can't deny that he's tall, strong, and hot. I know it's a risk, but I'm determined to show my family that I'm just as happy and in love as they are. Even if that means pretending to be with someone who's totally not my type. I'm ready to give the performance of a lifetime. Dirty Secret Love is the second book in the Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaire Series—an emotional rollercoaster of a journey that combines the intense drama of Succession and the hilarity of Schitt's Creek. A must-read.  

We have to say this was a cute fun read that kept us grinning and smiling throughout the entire book. Sutton and River were fun characters with the teasing and bantering back and forth right down to the dirty talk between them. Loved the chemistry they seemed to have so much fun together when they allowed themselves to be themselves.

This was a light fun read that had a lot of helping hands to make the fake relationship work and loved that someone we willing to go to lengths to make it work and we felt it was just what River needed as he seemed to be in a bit of a funk of sorts to bring him out of it.

Overall enjoyed the light fun read with awesome characters. Finnegan Gil never ceases to amaze me and how he seems to work magic. Most of all River made this a fun read with his winning personality, teasing, charming good looks, and charisma and there is more than meets the eye with that flirty gentleman who is loving and protective of the ones he cares about. Sutton seemed to be uptight and prissy at first but, is anything but, she surprised us the most of all a bit of a tigress could be fun and flirty & sexy, and the secrets she holds with shock and surprise you.

THE BILLIONAIRE AND THE MAID

SE Rose

Release Date: December 14

  A small-town maid who is trying to live her dream. A playboy billionaire who needs a fake girlfriend. And a holiday gala that is about to make things complicated. 

 Ella Foster takes a job as a maid for a billionaire family. Her real goal – to finish her degree and start her own design firm. She hasn’t had it easy after the death of her father. Unlike her stepsisters, Ella has had to work for everything. But she’s determined to make her dreams come true. There’s just one small hiccup…the priceless vase she broke while cleaning the house of the richest family in town. Chase Marino has never wanted for anything. While the world sees him as the playboy grandson of one of the most famous shoe designers in the world, he secretly wants to explore his own design dreams. He’s working on a plan to do just that once he takes over the family’s company. That is until his father gives him an ultimatum. Settle down and find a girlfriend or lose his birthright as CEO of the company. And to make matters worse, he has less than four weeks to do it. Chase gives Ella an offer she can’t refuse – be his fake girlfriend for a month and he’ll hide the fact that she destroyed his mother’s favorite vase. Ella’s determined to put up with the annoying Chase Marino so that her dreams aren’t dashed, but she soon learns there’s more to him than the tainted image she sees online. 

Could he be more Prince Charming than a spoiled playboy? And can Chase keep himself from falling for the fairytale-loving woman who seems so familiar to him?

What a cute story this was having that Cinderella theme to it not only does Ella have not only a stepmom but, also two step-sisters as well. Ella has been striving to make her dreams come true as a graphic designer.

Chase is a character striving to be a CEO but, there are stipulations put upon him for him to succeed find a woman, and settle down.

This was a really funny rom-com with great friendships, laughter, swoon-worthy characters, and where the boss and employee lines become blurred.

This story had the perfect mix of everything great characters, a plot that was engaging, characters that made us laugh, and really great chemistry. When the lines become blurred you start to see changes to both Chase and Ella characters which we loved.

We loved the fake relationship turns real plot it was engaging and fun and we found ourselves giggling throughout the story. Also, it was a perfect read after such a stressful day to get lost in as it was so much fun with a cast of wonderful characters. We also loved the Cinderella theme and that Ella played the part which surprised us with how much we really enjoyed the story as we normally stay away from those kinds of themed books but, glad we changed our minds and gave this one a try the author did not disappoint because we absolutely loved it.

This author is new to us but, we can see ourselves diving into future reads. This story is over and we are still smiling. Grinning...

Review & Release for Cherish Me by Layla Hagen

 

CHERISH ME FOREVER

Layla Hagen

Release Date: December 1

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Release Date: December 1

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

  Reese Maxwell meets her happy-ever-after in Layla Hagen's newest. What starts as a pretend romance soon turns into so much more... Newly divorced Dominic Waldorf is the most coveted bachelor in Chicago. At least, that's what he thinks. I'd describe him as more of a Neanderthal with a really nice backside. When I accidentally spill champagne on him at a charity event, he accuses me of hitting on him. Then later, I run into him in an empty coat room, and he's convinced. The truth is even more embarrassing. I'm hiding from my ex-fiancé, who showed up with his new wife—my former best friend. I try to hold it together, but instead spill my guts to this handsome stranger. Dom surprises me by suggesting an agreement: we pretend to date. I get to rub it in my ex's face and he appears off the 'market'. You scratch my back—I scratch yours, that sort of thing. Dom is an excellent fake boyfriend. He's protective and caring, and even gives me a smoking hot kiss. Then things get complicated. The charity has another event for us to attend —out of town, and overnight. Between late night confessions and three more smoking hot kisses—not that I'm counting—I start wondering if he's really faking everything. I'm certainly way past pretending. Soon after, Dom admits that he wants to date me… me, Reese Maxwell, for real!   But my heart isn't allowed to make any decisions anymore. Except ­— maybe — this one last time…

Loved this slow-burn romance with a couple who have both been burned by their past relationships. This couple has something in common both need to put their trust in someone once again but, can they overcome their past to do it?

We enjoyed Dominic and Reese their chemistry was undeniable even off the charts some would say. We loved them together they made such a cute couple even though their different personalities could not keep them apart. This story tugs on the reader's emotions it is full of emotion, heartbreak, friends becoming lovers, fake relationships, and learning to love once again. Dominic is a character you will lose your heart to. We loved how protective he became of Reese some might call him her knight in shining armor but, he can relate to what Reese is experiencing especially after going through a nasty divorce himself. This one gives you all the feels and we thoroughly enjoyed it with this cast of great characters.
