Unraveling Chaos

unraveling the chaos that are my thoughts

Legend and Country

January 18, 2023

Summary

I’m crushing on my boss. An older, single-dad grump who walked out on me the day we met. Still, every time he enters a room, my pulse races. How long can I pretend our relationship is strictly professional?

I’m not like most people my age. Instead of partying my weekends away or applying for the next coolest internships, I travel the world with families seeking new adventures.

After I met with a famous music manager, I agreed on joining Sam Stevens, a country music legend who has forfeited his career after his wife left him with his two young daughters without an explanation, on tour for six months.

Our first encounter is nothing like I imagined. He’s broody, rude, merciless, and seems to hate my guts. Not only does he walks out on me, but he gives me attitude I don’t deserve. Being almost ten years older than me doesn’t give him an excuse to be arrogant.

What Sam doesn’t know is that I don’t forfeit easily. And I won’t let him intimidate me because I’m not missing out on the opportunity of adding this new work experience to my resume. His daughters are adorable and have him wrapped around their fingers. When he’s with them, a softer side of him that appeals to me emerges.

Luckily for me, I’m here for the job. And the experience. Not to fall in love.

The more we learn to co-exist together, the more sides of him I see. Unguarded, more human, and less grumpy versions of him that grow on me.

Long stares, hands touching, we can’t seem to move out of each other’s energy field. I know better. The attraction searing between us is just a figment of my imagination. It’s a forbidden crush I won’t pursue.

As the kindle between us transformed into a blazing fire, can we keep our relationship professional, or should I just resign from my nanny position and leave the man who has a rock instead of a heart behind?

But a little voice in my head tells me that with me in his corner, maybe he can get back at the top where he belongs.

Emmanuelle Snow writes realistic and emotional love stories that will bring you on a roller coaster of emotions. You’ll want to be best friends with her heroines and have her heroes to rock your bed and take hostage your heart. Hello, book boyfriends!
Every one of her books will make you laugh, cry, swoon, and leave you with a book hangover by the time you reach the last page.

Review

“You are not the problem. Love is like that. It is messy. And complicated. But it is also beautiful.”

Love Tools

December 17, 2022

Summary

What happens when the king of casual meets the queen of picking the wrong men?

Lily is running. From a dead-end job, a neurotic mother and all the losers she dared to date. Moving halfway across the world to Bluestone County seemed like a good idea at the time. So did reopening her estranged father’s hardware store. But now she isn’t so sure.

Small town living has its perks though. Wide-open space, clean air, and sexy cowboys. Well, one sexy cowboy. Jake. Who also just so happens to be the new bane of her existence. At least when he’s not talking, she can admire the view.

Jake is the king of casual. The love of his life has always been his ranch, and that was fine with him. He never really saw the point in long-term. But all that changes when a mouthy, blonde sasses him into oblivion. He should have known she’d be trouble as soon as he laid eyes on her. Now it’s too late. She’s all he can think about. All he has to do is convince her that he’s finally the right man.

Isobel Reed’s hilarious, emotionally charged romance will have you holding your side with laughter or reaching for a tissue. Reminiscent of small-town romance by Tessa Bailey or Kristen Ashley, you will fall in love with LOVE TOOLS and Isobel Reed’s unique writing style.

Review

“You can’t change the past, so why let it ruin the present?”

Fumbled Love

December 8, 2022

Special Edition Cover

Summary

Publicly fighting with a man for an oversold airline seat—Embarrassing!

Realizing he was the famous quarterback for the Atlanta Arrows—Awkward

Knowing he was your friend’s older brother and teenage crush but didn’t recognize you—Humiliating.

When I stormed out of the airport after throwing a temper tantrum, I never expected to cross paths with him again. All I wanted to do was put the night behind me and enjoy a strong martini.
The last thing I expected was for him to waltz into the bar and offer me a night I couldn’t refuse.

I had every opportunity to tell him who I was. Instead, I lied and followed my heart– okay, that was a lie too.It was pure lust and maybe a little revenge that had me following him out the door.

Now, we’re flying back and forth between Atlanta and New York. And the more time we spend together, the harder I fall.

Until news of our relationship gets blasted all over the internet.

I guess it’s true what they say, you can’t believe everything you read online, or can you? I’m not sure anymore.

Now I’m wondering if I should have left my heart on the sidelines where it belonged instead of trusting him to keep it safe, especially since the news of our relationship isn’t the only thing about to be exposed.

Review

But even the things that we believed were unbreakable could still destroy us in the end.

“A Bánh Mì for Two” is a feel-good story abo “A Bánh Mì for Two” is a feel-good story about food, family, and self-discovery.

Dual POVs: Lan, who lives in Sai Gon, wants to be the perfect daughter and fulfill “expectations,” all the while dealing with the grief of losing her father. Vivi is a Vietnamese-American who comes to Vietnam for the first time, wanting to learn more about her family and herself. Their love of food connects them. 

I wasn’t expecting to get emotional as I did.

“A Bánh Mì for Two” was what I needed growing up. Stories with characters who look like me are coming to traditional publishing in YA. And people even know about it!

If only the blog was real! I would use it the next time I go to Vietnam. It needs to be a thing.

It was relatable. However, I wished for more at moments. 
A few times, I had to stop to look up words. Since I can understand Vietnamese more than I can read it, I had to listen to the words to understand what they were. It would have been an even better experience if I had listened to the audiobook. 

“A Bánh Mì for Two” was one of my anticipated books of the year, and I am honored to be gifted a copy.
