Matzah Ball Surprise by Laura Brown
Date: 5/9
Pages: 232
Rating: 3 stars
How it fits: The man has a scruffy beard

Review:

Cute fake relationship story full of representation. I don't think I've ever read a romance before where Passover was celebrated with discussions of the seder and family traditions that go along with the holiday. The male MC is also deaf so there's more representation and I liked the way the author integrated the two MC's into each others lives. It was a cute book, some sexy scenes and I'll be checking out more from this author in the future.

How it fits: Beard on cover (approved in Q&A)

Review: I love the Winston Brothers. I loved that this one is set a few years in the future. It was nice to see the growth of the couples and families. But I really want Billy to get his HEA, and this just pushes it back even further. :(

[Sally906]

Wow Stacie and Laura - going great guns there!

I have literally just started mine 😂😂

Review: I loved this bear shape changer romance. Hannah’s best friend signs up for a mail order bride dating database and finds her soul mate. The friend also signs up Hannah and when Hannah accompanies her friend to meet her love match it turns out the brother Wade is Hannah’s love match. Trouble is Hannah is a city bound business woman and Wade is a cattle rancher in North Dakota, and a bear! Of course the path to love never runs smoothly but eventually HEA happens.

One in a Million by Jill Shalvis
Pgs: 368
Date Read: 5/11
Rating: 4*
How it Fits: There’s definitely a bit off scruff there

Review
This is the 12th and last in the Lucky Harbor series which sees Tanner and Callie go after their HEA with a little help from their friends and self proclaimed matchmaker Lucille. This was sweet, heartfelt and at times had me wanting to bang their heads together to see that they had true feelings for each other. There are other couples highlighted in this tale which have had their own story but I like this series as each novel can be read as a standalone.

[Sally906]

Do we check in? Or not required as this is the last?

[Stacie]

I think it's not required but I don't know. MK said she'd be checking all the threads so I'm not sure.
