Oliver Ice, one of Boston University’s notorious hockey players, has been on my radar since I slammed into his rock-hard body during my first week of college, three years ago. He helped me to my feet, muttered an apology, and ran off after his girlfriend, dashing my hopes of a happily ever after.

Now, he’s the bartender where I work, and this time, very much single. Night after night I watch the tall, broad, and sexy right winger mixing drinks and being Mr. Personality, while I remind myself how horribly my last relationship ended.

But when Oliver overhears a private conversation, he offers to be the one thing I need more than anything-- my pretend boyfriend at a dreaded family reunion.

One weekend was all it was meant to be.

How do I protect my fragile heart when the lines between fantasy and reality blur with our first kiss?

My review
Just a note to say that I have not read book 1 in this series and even though some characters popped in who I imagine are from other books I was able to enjoy the book without reading the others.

This is a really sweet book. Both characters are kind hearted and nice and even though they have both been through a rough patch neither are whiney and annoying which is a really refreshing change. You want these guys to have a happy ending because they totally deserve each other and happiness.

There is a really great balance in this book of interesting storyline, getting to know the characters and of course some steam. Even though the hockey/college storyline has been written about a lot this still felt fresh and different. 

I have to say I have become a fan of the authors writing style and want to read moredand recommend you take a chance on Oliver and Ava's story.

Too Good At Goodbyes - R C Boldt - Release plus review

Title: Too Good at Goodbyes

Author: RC Boldt

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: October 29, 2019

Blurb

First Top 40 hit at age seventeen? My first tabloid breakup scandal quickly followed. 

Earned my first Grammy? Discovered Mommy Dearest was embezzling my money. 

Landed a leading role in a movie? My fiancé called off our engagement the next day.

I might have a multi-million-dollar recording contract, a sold-out world tour, and more money in the bank than I ever imagined, but every time I hit a milestone in my career, my personal life suffers.

Then in steps my new bodyguard, rugged and with a past I connect with. The closer we get, the more powerful my feelings grow, complicating our professional relationship.

I thought Kane would be different. I hoped he’d be the one man to stand by my side, undaunted by the fame and attention that trails me. 

The press calls me the “Ice Princess of Pop” because of my unyielding façade throughout heartbreak and betrayal. Perhaps it’s time to show them the real me. 

With every syllable, I pour out my emotions and allow them to puddle, forming lyrics from my soul’s breath. And with each word, my broken heart cries out for Kane, begging him to help me break this pattern.

To help me stop being so damn good at goodbyes.

Excerpt

SIMONE

Present Day

The Super Bowl Halftime Performance

Hard Rock Stadium

Miami Gardens, Florida

Facing what’s estimated to be over sixty-seven thousand people with my favorite guitar strapped snug against me, I prepare to sing my final song.

Standing up here in front of thousands of fans is second nature. I performed in countless dive bars before breaking onto the scene and securing my first record deal, then moving on to sold-out world tours. Which means I shouldn’t have sweaty palms like a preteen working up the nerve to talk to her crush.

My heart shouldn’t be racing like a horse competing in the Kentucky Derby.

My stomach shouldn’t churn as though I’ve eaten ceviche from a questionable food truck.

Tremors shouldn’t affect my hands like a virgin embarking on their deflowering.

None of this should be afflicting me. But it is.

Because of him.

Because of the current state of my heart.

But this is how I deal with heartache. With tragedy. With…life.

“This is a little different, and I hope you like it,” I rasp into the mic. Noise from the cheering fans is deafening, and like every time I perform, the surreal quality never quite fades.

Tonight marks the first time I’ll share a song I wrote about someone who eviscerated my heart entirely. My other relationships—and subsequent failures—pale in comparison.

It’s no secret that love and broken hearts inspire great songwriting. With regard to the latter, it’s never hard to find someone mourning an unrequited love, suffering heartache, or wishing they’d find their own glorified everlasting love.

But have you noticed when male musicians write about it, they’re never on the receiving end of the snide, sarcastic comments of, “Oh, poor thing. He’s rich and famous and can’t find love. Boo-freaking-hoo.”?

Yet when I write lyrics that are the closest thing to ripping out my heart and putting it on display for the world, I receive the “She’s probably selfish and put her career first” or “She probably cheated, and now she’s regretting it” or “Mm. So sad. The Ice Princess of Pop is heartbroken.”

My response? Fuck that noise. I’m writing from my heart and soul, regardless of how damaged they might be at any given time. And as long as my fans continue to support me, I’m going to keep on keepin’ on.

“I’d like to dedicate this song to a special person.” I duck my chin, willing myself to maintain composure. “It’s called ‘Embers.’”

Once I strum the first note on my guitar, everything around me fades. My voice emerges from the shards scattered within my chest where my working heart once was.

When I play that final chord, I see tears streaming down the faces of the fans in the front rows. And yet again, I’m reminded of something all too easily forgotten. That there are others who can relate to lyrics written from my soul’s breath.

Because in heartache, we’re never truly alone.

My Review

This book is another stunning read by R. C. Boldt. I stayed up late reading, woke up early to continue and then accidentally left my kids in an extended time out while I snuck in a couple of chapters. The book was very difficult to put down.

I loved the storyline and the characters. It was all so written with layers that just kept adding more emotion, humor, steaminess and enjoyment as the book continued. This is one of those books that you are really sad that it's over but you are not left with any loose ends and I really loved that.

Simone was a leading lady that I'm sure a lot of us could connect with. She is strong but with her vulnerabilities and Kane is swoon worth in every way. 

I really loved seeing some older characters pop up. I hadn't thought about them in a while so it took a minute to connect the dots but it was exciting when I did. In saying that if this is your very first R. C. Boldt book that is fine you won't know what you are missing. 

I don't know how she keeps writing these deep and moving books but she does and I will continue to keep reading them because I simply can't get enough.

Why are bad boys so good?
Meet the infamous Ross, black sheep of the family and bully extraordinaire.
I drink too much, smoke too much, screw around. I’ve hurt people, been in and out of prison. I’m a bastard, a beast.
I’m a goddamn bundle of joy.
I mean, my own dad tried to kill me, what does that tell you?
Then again, my dad did kill my mom, so maybe it isn’t just me. Who the hell knows.
The world sucks and I’m giving it the finger in every damn way, except…
Except there’s a girl. Pretty. Hot. Clever. She didn’t get the memo – that she should hate me, shun me, kick me when I’m down. That the world screwed us all over. She believes in the future – and sometimes she seems to even believe in me.
Big mistake. I’m bad news. I made her suffer in the past, and nothing has changed. I’m not an angel, not a saint. No good.
But for some reason I don’t get, I can’t let her go down with me. I find myself trying to be better for her, pretending to be someone I’m not.
And if that doesn’t ring some damn big alarm bells regarding my sanity, well… then I’m done already.
* This is the story of Ross, half-brother to Octavia, Gigi and Merc, set in the Wild Men series *
Coming soon.

EXCERPT
Real life outside school is different. It has to be. I have to believe it. Luna the frightened unpopular girl is gone, too. Now I am the new Luna, and like the new moon I am in darkness until I reveal myself, reborn.
Hey, it sounds good in theory, all right? It gives me a plan, a purpose. I can do this. Be the new me who isn’t so shy and insecure, who doesn’t go red when someone laughs or points at her. I am good enough. I need to believe it.
Who cares if I’m not all that pretty? I’ve brains, and smarts, and I will make something of my life.
Once I get through this Summer, that is. And save some money. And decide what I do next.
My cousin says I should get a degree, maybe in web design and graphics. Move to a city, get a good job in a company. That I can do it.
My thoughts return to Ross and what my dad and Josh said about him.
That he’s still here. Hanging around. That his dad attacked him.
That’s so screwed up.
Worse still, why can’t I get him out of my mind? It’s hard to stop thinking about him. Not only because he taunted me and tormented me—but also because he was the sexiest, hottest guy in school.
And the world, probably.
What a pity he’s such an asshole.

Kiss Me Again - Emma Hart - Plus Review

WANTED: ROOMMATE. Must be tidy, polite, and absolutely not my brother’s hot as sin best friend.

Kiss Me Again, an all-new hilarious brother’s best friend standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart is available now!

I have no idea why I said yes.

Maybe I’d had one too many wines. Maybe I’d done it accidentally. Maybe I’d been sleep-texting.

One thing I know for sure is this: I absolutely do not want Ethan Hawkins in my apartment, up in my business, taking over my space.

Yet he’s here. Moving his stuff into my spare bedroom. Sending a wave of panty-melting, musky man-scent my way every time he walks past me.

Here’s the thing.

We don’t get along—at all. We never have, and I don’t think we’re going to start now that we’re under one roof.

There’s also that little issue where I’m kinda, sorta, totally in love with him…

Uh-oh.

Excerpt

I shoved the front door open and set my gaze on Ethan on the sofa. “If you’re going to lie to me about living here, we’re going to have to set some hard and fast rules. The first one: the stinky, spiky pig lives in your bedroom.” He peered over at me, one hand in a bag of cheese Doritos and the other tickling the hedgehog who was now lying on his chest. It was quite the sight. “How do you know he stinks?” he asked, licking his fingers and cradling the animal before he put the chip packet on the coffee table. “I Googled. They need cleaning every day. I’m not doing it, and neither am I living in a smell of tiny animal who should be wild.” “He’s a pygmy hedgehog. He’s bred to be domesticated.” “His spiky bits could be made out of solid gold and I wouldn’t give a shit.” I put my purse on the island and looked at him. “You can send me Google links to them if it pleases His Highness, but my stance won’t change. That animal is not living in my living room, and I’d rather you didn’t snuggle with him on the sofa.” “It’s ironic,” Ethan mused. “I have a hedgehog on my chest, and you’re still the prickliest thing in this apartment.” “If I wasn’t staunchly against animal cruelty, I’d throw a saucepan at you.” “You can still hit me over the head with it.” “I was talking about you, not the hedgehog, you pig.” “May I say that you are an absolute fucking delight, Ava. I can’t imagine why you’re still single.” “Probably the same reason you are. The asshole gene is strong as fuck and not all that attractive.”

My Review

Wow I don't know how Emma Hart writes these books with female characters so full of angst and attitude. Like my other reviews on this series I find getting the balance can be difficult and it nearly went too far in this book but Ava showed enough heart and redeeming qualities that I could deal with her attitude and not get too annoyed at her. 
Ethan was a total hotty. Hart knows how to write angsty females and she knows how to write males to make you swoon and Ethan was no different. He is loyal and sweet and puts up with Ava at times when I wanted to bop her on the head so he gets a medal for that. 
This was definitely another good installment in this series with lots of humor and I enjoyed getting to know the girls but especially their men.
