Power Play by Mari Carr

Review- I liked this one :) Reed and Frankie meet-cute (actually it's more like meet-hot), don't exchange names and meet again in an entirely different setting. I know this trope has been done many times before, but Mari Carr managed to keep it fresh and fun for me. There was competition, betting for sexual favors, a strong woman, and of course an HEA. A winning combo for me!

Review:
I loved this story, full of steamy scenes and two wonderful mcs with incredible chemistry. I enjoyed how showed development over time, wasn't suddenly in love and lots of uncertainty which was so fitting.

Jez and Mac were so much fun together from start to finish, could really see their friendship and bond between them. The steam is off the charts, especially liked the nightclub scene - i am weak for a little jealousy and sudden kissing.

Theres very low angst and it was handled in such a perfect way, the doscussion on labels was great and these twos relationships is so sweet. Such a sweet ending with them just relaxing together around their friends and look towards the future, i adored every moment 💕

Review: Even after all these years this story remains one of my top all time favorites. I love the contrasts between Al and Larry. Al may not be as book smart as college professor Larry, but he is a brilliant artist and a man with a huge, honest love for Larry. I just love these two and am glad I got the chance to reread this one again.

Option 1

One Night with Her Bachelor by Kat Latham
Rating- 3*
Review- Molly and Gabriel have loads of baggage. They have reconnected after knowing each other as children. But Molly is all grown up now, and wants a little bit of fun. What starts as a hook-up gone awry becomes a lot more. Sweet, moving at times, story of two people damaged by life and trying to sort it all out. There is also a fun auction scene as well as some dancing in the snow :)

Me too! Hands down. My favorite part of the challenges is trying to find one book that will do double or triple Duty when qualifying for a challenge.
