A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting - ARC Review & Release Blitz

The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting.

Kitty Hart has become internet famous as the Kitty Whisperer for her expertise on all things feline, and as a result, her cat-sitting business is booming. But lately, she has a terrible feeling that maybe her life isn’t quite going where it’s supposed to—especially after falling face-first into her newest client. Not exactly the best first impression.

Fortunately, Miles Thorn is just as bad at first impressions. Strike one: he doesn’t like cats, especially Prince Francis, the haughty and mischievous Sphynx his mom left in his care. Strike two: tackling her to the floor in a misguided attempt to save the pet he continually calls “the gremlin.”

As awkwardness slides into attraction and things start to turn purr-sonal, will these two complete opposites ever be able to find their furry-tail ending?

I can't lie, I was excited about this title. Cats. Books with cats in them and cat puns. What could be more purr-fect (I would apologize for that, but I am not even a little bit sorry)

Kitty and Miles are sweet together. Their meet cute is anything but cute and in fact is both funny and cringeworthy. And, you can understand why they both decide they don't really like one another, as both make some judgments about the other that are correct in the situation, but once they get to know one another turn out to be reality but with a backstory...which is the truth for all of us.

I believed their friendship. I liked that Miles was a math nerd working for a hockey team, and I liked that both of them were just a little quirky without being so quirky that I couldn't relate to them.

That said, I never really felt that much of a spark between them. I did feel their attraction, but it never really became more than that for me, and I am not sure why...although I think it might have been a little too sweet in the parts with them, and as there were other parts of the story that were a little more darker/more serious I think it made them feel less important in comparison, if that makes sense.

That said, I did still laugh and enjoy this title, and I recommend it.

Catch and Release Groom by Cindi Madsen - ARC Review

A runaway bride is on her honeymoon—and hilariously off-the-hook—in this irresistible romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Cindi Madsen…

Imogen Kaplan may be a runaway bride, but she’s determined to take her “honeymoon” at a luxury wilderness resort, even if she is surrounded by annoyingly mushy couples. No husband. No happily-ever-after. Just trees, bugs, and one very grouchy, mouthwateringly fit, and—let’s just admit it—unfairly gorgeous guide who’s shown up to take her fishing at Nope O’Clock in the morning…

Easton Reeves is pretty sure that Hell looks a lot like Honeymoon Week. It’s over-the-top romantic crap as far as the eye can see—everything a guy who’s been dumped at the altar wants to avoid. And now he’s supposed to teach this cute, smart-mouthed little city pixie how to fly fish? I’ll be lucky to escape without a hook in my ear.

Now it’s like fate keeps throwing them—the two people least interested in romance—together at a resort that’s all about the love. Sparks are not supposed to happen, let alone the temptation to kiss each other senseless. But it’s one thing to get hooked on sizzling chemistry…and quite another to turn a sexy little fling into real life.

Stinger by Mia Sheridan - ARC Review

A spicy second-chance standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Archer's Voice.

Sometimes, you don't even realize anything is wrong until someone comes along and changes you, and makes you want more. 

Grace Hamilton is the girl with a plan. She knows exactly where her life is going, and prides herself on always achieving her goals. She's never stepped outside the lines she draws for herself, and never considered what her heart truly wants. That is, until him. 

Carson Stinger doesn't play by any rules except his own. Working in the adult entertainment industry, he doesn't care what others think of his choices, and takes each day as it comes. No direction, no plan. He knows what women want from him, and in his eyes, it's all he has to offer…until her. When unexpected circumstances force them together, Grace and Carson are swept up into the electric chemistry between them, surrendering to a steamy Las Vegas weekend in each other's arms. 

But for two people whose worlds could never coexist, they know their time is short. That is, until their hearts get involved without their permission…
