Hottie on Her Shelf

July 11, 2022

Hottie on Her Shelf by Christi Barth is now live!

He’ll get between her… pages.

Hallie Scott expected the hangover from her thirtieth birthday. She did not expect to find her calm, orderly life as Swan Cove’s head librarian to completely change overnight when her best friend added Hallie to the mayoral ballot because of one little remark. One. Now she’s going head-to-head with the small coastal town’s prominent “prince,” Fitz Montgomery…whose charm is about to get seriously checked.

All Fitz wants is to prove himself, beyond being the latest in the unbroken line of Montgomery mayors. Nobody, least of all Fitz, expected the town’s cute-as-hell librarian to step up and run against him. Hallie’s definitely in over her head, which is a problem, since Fitz wants a fair fight. But is he helping Hallie level the playing field…or arming his opponent?

Hallie and Fitz are on completely different sides. Their backgrounds, their lives, their ongoing ebook vs paperback argument. But they’re both about to learn that the art of war is nowhere near as complicated as falling for the enemy…

Review

The coincidence was almost laughable. They had so much more in common than she’d ever imagined.

Small towns have certain beliefs and tend to be set in their ways. It’s tough for change to come about. Not that it doesn’t happen, but it does so very slowly. For the first time in a while, someone other than a Montgomery is on the ballot to run for mayor. Fitz has to work harder to win votes. Since Hallie isn’t originally from Swan Cove, the people look down upon her for being from the wrong side of town. Everyone automatically assumed that Fitz would still be mayor by the end because Swan Cove’s mayor has always been a Montgomery for as long as people have known. 

Fitz and Hallie are more alike than they realized. While there are some topics they disagree on, there are many that they agree on. Their experience may be different, but the overall takeaway was the same. 

I felt bad for Fitz. He put his life on hold to continue the family legacy. Even when he wanted to quit, he didn’t. His parents may be a little too much, but they wanted what was best for the family. They just went about it the wrong way. At least at the end of the day, Fitz knew they loved him, even when they didn’t show it. 

I was not too fond of Hallie at first. She may not have been a “snob,” but she was a “reverse snob.” Judging people because they were rich. But, she did show growth because she eventually realized it and tried her best to change.

I enjoyed reading Hottie on Her Shelf, but it took longer than I thought it would take me to finish. But, it was light and fun. A nice change from all of the heavy topics I’ve been reading. I would read something from Christi Barth again.

Twisted Lies

July 7, 2022

Summary

He’ll do anything to have her…including lie.

Charming, deadly, and smart enough to hide it, Christian Harper is a monster dressed in the perfectly tailored suits of a gentleman.

He has little use for morals and even less use for love, but he can’t deny the strange pull he feels toward the woman living just one floor below him.

She’s the object of his darkest desires, the only puzzle he can’t solve. And when the opportunity to get closer to her arises, he breaks his own rules to offer her a deal she can’t refuse.

Every monster has their weakness. She’s his.

His obsession.

His addiction.

His only exception.

**

Sweet, shy, and introverted despite her social media fame, Stella Alonso is a romantic who keeps her heart in a cage.

Between her two jobs, she has little time or desire for a relationship.

But when a threat from her past drives her into the arms—and house—of the most dangerous man she’s ever met, she’s tempted to let herself feel something for the first time in a long time.

Because despite Christian’s cold nature, he makes her feel everything when she’s with him.

Passionate.

Protected.

Truly wanted.

Theirs is a love twisted with secrets and tainted by lies…and when the truths are finally revealed, they could shatter everything.

Twisted Lies is a steamy fake dating romance. It’s the fourth and final book in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone.

Warning: The story contains explicit content, violence, profanity, and topics that may be sensitive to some readers. Please see inside the book for a detailed list. Recommended for 18+.

Review

If my thoughts were chaos, she was my anchor. They always went back to her.

Canadian Spring

June 24, 2022

Summary

A bubbly city girl. A grumpy country boy. A weekend that will change their lives forever.

Skylar Martin is more than happy to flee the city, leaving her past and failed engagement behind her. Off on a new adventure in Logan Creek to plan a wedding for an old friend, she hopes to do just that. What she didn’t expect was encountering a grumpy bear of a mountain man on her stop for coffee. He riled her up, turned her on, and drove her crazier than any man ever had before, just on that one stop.

Dyllan Thompson had his life planned out. Be the Mayor of his hometown Logan Creek for as long as he could, and then figure out a way to live a quiet life that is free of responsibilities to other people. After seeing how having a family could cause so much heartbreak, he swore he’d never put himself or anyone else through that.

Unfortunately, Skylar and Dyllan had to grin and bear their discontent towards each other on a trip to Vegas for the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Not only did they wake up in the same bed together, but also with rings on very important fingers. Refusing to divorce, will their rings be enough to hold them together, or is not everyone meant to have a happily ever after?

Review

“You’re everything I didn’t think I could have.”

“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.
