Heart2Heart: A Charity Anthology, Volume 8

Catch Me Again: Emmy Sanders

OMG was this short story SO cute and charming. Lian and Foster were the cutest and they had me giggling the entire time. Like, kicking the couch cute.

Lian is an adorable disaster of a man. Like a cute Tasmanian devil that often runs into mayhem. Foster is remarkably chill, especially in the face of all that chaos, and is absolutely charmed by Lian's insanity.

The cruise aspect was so funny, funniest about me: I am very ANTI cruise. I would never. The "cruise killer" had me cackling multiple times, too.

My only complaint: I could have read 300 pages of this, and it was a short story. Emmy, you genius.


Scoring a Sweet Thing: Jodi Oliver

Bailey and Remi were so cute! Bailey, an introverted tattoo artist "rescues" Remi, professional hockey goalie and marshmallow aficionado, from "grannies who grab his butt" at a charity auction.

That's literally the entire premise. But for a man like Remi who has been told he is "too much" Bailey's calm acceptance and even enjoyment of Remi's weirdness is EVERYTHING.

These two were vibes the whole time. And did I mention they were cute? They were so cute.

I Know the Way Home: Riley Nash

Riley showed up to this anthology and chose violence. Pretend to be my boyfriend, and then sit in the waiting room with me [while I wait to hear life changing news]. Babe. This was a whole thing.

Reed and Cannon were BIG EMOTIONS and BIG FEELINGS crammed into a shot story. How dare this be a short story?

Featuring an age gap, a dominant younger man, first dates, falling in love during sex, the realities of being a human, and an epic run through a hospital.

NO NOTES. MY ONLY COMPLAINT: THEY WERE SHORT STORIES. I could have read hundreds more pages!

Wilder Heart: KT Yarrow

Image
Y'all, I LOVED THIS STORY. I saw it available to arc read, and I took a chance. I am SO glad I did. I loved Cash & Wilder. If you love cowboy romances, 10/10 recommend this one. I've been crying off and on throughout the entire book. Wilder was such an amazing character. His back story was TOP TIER, and how he got introduced to the story kept me engaged the entire time. And Cash. Don't get me started on him. He is the perfect cowboy and the perfect place for Wilder to land. After being released from prison, omg that story broke my heart, Wilder goes back to his family ranch. But so much has changed, and so has he, and he doesn't quite feel like he fits anymore. Cash, the ranch foreman, is Wilder's boss... but he becomes so much more. This story has so much HEART and family dynamics. Lain, Wilder's brother and his family, also have to adjust with Wilder being back on the ranch. And the other ranch hands too. Everything is a part of the story. But there were s...

The Legend Next Door: Totally Pucked Book 2: Jesse H. Reign

Image
I think this may be the hardest review I've ever had to write. I can't believe I'm saying this because I genuinely believed that Unbreak Me would remain my favorite Jesse book of all time... but THE LEGEND NEXT DOOR has, without a doubt, taken that spot. I loved this book. I LOVED IT. Jesse chose violence with this one because I died multiple times while reading. Died. Dead. Ben Stirling. Holy hell. BEN STIRLING CAN GET IT. Where did he come from 👀 I need to know. Jesse. How do I get a Ben Stirling, please? And Jeremiah. JELLY. Oh my god, Jelly. Both mmcs had no right to be as perfect as they were. It's just uncalled for. My heart can't take it. And Luca. 😭😭😭😭 I usually don't like kids in books, but Luca was such a sweet little character- and seeing Ben with his son was SO SWEET. But seeing Jeremiah with him was so much sweeter. The grief? God. It hit like a punch. The biawakening? Felt as natural as breathing. Believable, too. The chemistry? O...

Brim Over Boot: Darling Brothers book 2: Emmy Sanders

Image
Oh my god, I am UNWELL. I shouldn't be surprised, but this one snuck up on me. BRIM OVER BOOT was fantastic. I'll be the first to admit that enemies to lovers is not my go-to genre. But Colt and Noah were damn enjoyable to read. From the beginning, you could see that Noah was under Colt's skin, and I was so here for when things started happening. And lord did they! Their love story is packed full of humor, rivalry, ridiculousness, and miscommunication/misunderstanding. They're idiots, your honor. But they're also SWEETHEARTS. Colt's struggle and fight along with Noah's possessiveness and patience. It's swoony over here! I loved seeing the Darling family again and meeting Walter. AND the Darling donkey cameo! I will die for Remington, if necessary. I could go chapter by chapter listing everything I loved about this one because Colt and Noah were just that good! BRIM OVER BOOT is out May 22nd. You still have time to read (or reread) book one, Sweet Like Wh...
