April 4, 2019April 4, 2019 ~ elocko ~ Leave a comment

Thank you @simonschusterca for the e-ARC of The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren! They’re one of my favourite romance author duos and I can’t wait to read this upcoming release. 🌴🌴🌴🌴

Olive has always been the unlucky twin, and when Ami her eternally lucky sister gets married the unthinkable happens and she and everyone at the wedding gets food poisoning. Everyone except Olive and her arch nemesis (and the best man) Ethan. The newlyweds unable to go on their honeymoon, offer it to Olive and Ethan who call a temporary truce to take the trip to Maui themselves. Soon, pretending to be honeymooners doesn’t seem all that bad, and Olive begins to feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

Review coming soon 🌴🌴🌴🌴

The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker

April 3, 2019April 3, 2019 ~ elocko ~ Leave a comment

The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker🍃

Calla is a city girl who, after hearing of her father’s cancer diagnosis, travels to Alaska to see him for the first time in 24 years. Slowly she becomes torn between the life she’s used to in Toronto and a romance with Jonah a rugged Alaskan pilot.

Living in Toronto, it was really cool to actually read a Canadian author tell a story that takes place in Toronto, at least for the first few chapters. Once the story took off to Alaska it described such an incredible setting it almost felt like another character in the story, I’d love to visit one day.

The Simple Wild is a great read! I’m a sucker for a slow burn and the story was unique from the usual city girl meets countryman. It was unexpectedly heartwarming and emotional. 8/10 🍃

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

The Kiss Quotient 📉💙

Happy Autism Awareness Day!

“29 year old Stella has Asperger’s and makes sense of her life using math, but she struggles to handle dating and the intimacy she feels it requires. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice, with a professional. She hires the perfect male escort who teaches her that love is the best kind of logic”

I adored this book from start to finish! I now understand the well deserved hype behind it. Both the characters are so lovable, from sweet and determined Stella to kind, understanding Michael. They each have their troubles but they figure it out together. Plus there are some awesome sex scenes that are suuuuuper steamy! 9/10 💙

Maybe Not by Colleen Hoover

April 2, 2019April 2, 2019 ~ elocko ~ Leave a comment

Maybe Not, a novella by Colleen Hoover. This quick little read was inspired by the characters in Maybe Someday. It was interesting to see a little more into the relationship of Bridgette and Warren who seemed pretty unlikable in the first book. It was short but sweet with quite a few sex scenes. Now to read Maybe Now the final book in the Maybe series. 7/10.

Make Something Good Today by Erin and Ben Napier

April 2, 2019April 2, 2019 ~ elocko ~ Leave a comment

THESE TWO!!!! Make Something Good Today by Ben and Erin Napier, is absolutely a romance with not only each other but a love affair with creativity. These two know how to take note of life’s little moments and celebrate them. I may be biased in that I’m a huge fan of them from their hit @hgtv show Home Town, but this book is basically a continuation of how inspiring they are on television. The back story of how they met is certifiably adorable. Reading this makes you want to get up and do whatever it is that you’ve been holding back on. 8/10.

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

April 1, 2019April 2, 2019 ~ elocko ~ Leave a comment

“ I have a theory, hating someone feels disturbingly similar to being in love with them “

The Hating Game 💙💛💙💛 Sally Thorne’s breakout novel instantly became one of my faves! I was late to the game on this one, only just reading it over my holidays last month, but I’m so glad I found it. The characters are so developed and the office antics between lovable Lucy (aka Shortcake) and harsh Josh are hilarious. I love a good build up and Sally Thorne delivers. 9.5/10 💙💛

Roomies by Christina Lauren

April 1, 2019April 2, 2019 ~ elocko ~ Leave a comment

Roomies by @christinalauren ☘️ Calvin, an Irish musician in NYC, somehow ends up in a marriage of convenience with Holland, a nice girl who doesn’t seem to see herself very clearly. She marries him as a favour to her uncle (but slightly for herself since he’s a dreamboat) at first they’re pretending and soon enough all the feels come in. Having an Irish boyfriend I can say that the sayings and pronunciation were pretty accurate, though he’s never called me ‘mo stoirin’. ☘️☘️☘️

8/10. Some sexy scenes and hilarious situations involving public indecency.

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover 💧

Colleen Hoover proves herself yet again to be an incredible romance writer. This book was recommended to me by a friend and it was well worth the read, but I was surprised by the heartbreaking half of the storyline. What starts as a “friends with benefits” scenario turns ugly when feelings are eventually involved (obviously), but there is a sad twist that was hard not to think about days after reading.

8/10 💙💧

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

April 1, 2019April 2, 2019 ~ elocko ~ Leave a comment

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne. One of the best romantic comedies I’ve read in a while! This may be an unpopular opinion: I didn’t think it was possible but this book is just as good if not better than her first The Hating Game.

💛💛💛💛

9/10 would recommend. Tom Valeska is so lovable, where Darcy is sharp and funny and the build up from childhood friends to something more is perfectly painstaking.
