Goodbye Again by Caitlin Moss - ARC Review

Fated to meet.

Destined to fall in love.

Bound to fall apart.

In Julia Waters’s world, everything is easily explained. Simple, uncomplicated, logical. Until she meets JP Chapman on a cross-country flight, the handsome kindergarten teacher charms her with his wit, humor, and irresistible smile. While spending a magical night wandering the streets of Seattle, the two stumble upon a fortune teller who predicts their futures will forever be entwined.

But sometimes the road to love isn’t a straight line. Over the span of five years, careers, different cities, and missed chances stand in the way of them being together. It isn’t until she starts listening to the advice of her late grandmother, who visits her dreams since that first night in Seattle, does Julia realize not everything about love is straightforward.

If she hopes to discover why an invisible string continues to pull her back to him, she must trust her grandmother’s advice and, ultimately, herself.

Out of Control by K. Bromberg - ARC Review & Release Blitz

Every story needs a villain.

The arrogance. The conceit. The lone wolf.

Oliver Rossi is that person on the track.

And leave it to me . . . I’ve gone and fallen for him.

Rossi is his own worst enemy. He doesn’t care what people think or what’s expected of him. And he’s reached the pinnacle of his sport because of his bad boy ways.

He’s unpredictable and reckless on the track. He’s even worse off of it. After years of circling around each other, all it took was one night, one uncharacteristic act of chivalry, to know I wanted more with the man everyone hates.

Forget the warnings from my brother about his new teammate and the fallout from my family—he’s worth the risk.

With his job on the line and eyes always on us, secret trysts are all we allow ourselves.

It’s all fun and games until lust turns to love and for now begins to feel like not enough.

I want it all.

I want forever.

And I want it with Oliver Rossi.

But is Rossi willing to show the world he’s ready to move past his villain era so we can have our own happily ever after or will this whole thing spin out of control?

Falling Like Stars by Emma Scott - ARC Review & Release Blitz

She kept her heart guarded and locked away...until she gave it to the world's biggest movie star.

In the dazzling world of Hollywood where fame and glamour reign supreme, award-winning megastar Zachary Butler longs for something more than red carpet events and paparazzi flashes.

Bad Ball Hitter by Kimberly Readnour - ARC Review & Release Blitz

Can Boston Bears bad boy catcher, Drake Gunner, win back his first love?

I live my life according to a plan, even if that plan hasn’t taken off like I thought it would. It's an even bigger punch in the gut knowing how happy my ex-girlfriend is, moving on without me. For this reason, I vow to try and make a go with this new girl I’m seeing. She isn’t Lila, but quite honestly, no one is.

Truth is, I haven’t been serious with anyone since Lila, my first girlfriend. I made the biggest mistake letting her go, and by the time I came back to find her, she had already moved on. Serves me right.

But who marries their high school sweetheart anyway?

Even if no one can come close to what Lila meant to me.

So when Boston picked up the last year of my contract with the goal of winning them a championship, I decided to play hard and find the perfect partner. I thought I found it in Miranda. She’s all about securing a future with a sports star and all the perks that come along with that, and I figured, why not? I have to move on eventually.

But then life threw me the biggest curveball.

I wake up to find Miranda’s roommate is none other than Lila, AKA, the only girl I ever loved.

You know what they say about life and plans. Now what am I going to do?

This is my first title by this author, and overall I did enjoy it.

Drake and Lila had great chemistry and when the book was focused on them, I thought it worked well and I was invested in the story.

There was a lot that was going on around the central couple that did seem, to me, to distract a little. It was somewhat necessary for the story, but it also felt a little extraneous in places, like maybe the story was completed 2 pages ago, but the author is still focused on that extra bit, if that makes sense.

I did find it occasionally did pull me out of the story. Not enough to make me stop reading it, but enough to make me wonder if it was necessary.

That said, the central couple was developed enough that I enjoyed and recommend this title.
