Not Her – Julia Bright
Jason Delany Baxter-Scott…the fifth. What a terrible name to have to live up to. There is no question in his mind that he’ll never live up to his parents’ expectations. Baxter, as he is known to his friends, is trying, but when his fiancée dumps him, he has less than an hour to find someone to stand in to meet his demanding mother and father. He knew Heather in college, and she recently sent a note, saying she’d moved to New York. It was a dick move, but he invited her for drinks, only to introduce her to his parents as his fiancée.
Heather is still the same free-spirited woman who challenged him to be his own man in California. She’s nothing like the women his parents’ think he should marry, and that makes her forbidden fruit. He admires her for standing up for herself and never backing down. She’s got spunk and a whole lot more that turns him on and leaves him wanting.
Heather Burke doesn’t put up with BS. She’s worked hard to develop a clothing line that sells in her own high-end boutiques. Her style may be quirky, but she’s business savvy and worldly. When Baxter contacts her, she’s in for a drink or two, but when she arrives, and his parents think she’s the fiancée, the night is turned on its end. Baxter told her story after story about how horrible his parents were so she can’t abandon him, but going along in this ruse may just be the end of her.
Back in California, she lost her heart to Baxter, and this fake fiancée stuff may just take her mind too. When he’s not bowing to his parents’ pressure, Baxter is a decent guy, someone she could see herself with for the rest of her life. She just has to convince Baxter he doesn’t need their approval to be a good man.
When the stakes get high, they both are challenged. Can Heather walk away from Baxter, or will she stay and teach him to fight for himself?

REVIEW: NOT HER (KINDLE WORLDS: IMPERFECT LOVE) BY JULIA BRIGHT
Not Her by Julia Bright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It takes great courage to remain true to one's self, when the odds are stacked against you and there's no faith coming from anybody else. Not Her is a journey toward self respect. It's riddled with wise words, heartbreaking moments and empowering main characters. That's what makes strong minded Heather a great role model for women. She never listens to the naysayers in the world and for that she inspires not just her fictional cast mates but she uplifts readers as well.

Arranged by Fifi Flowers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Arranged is the poster child for flirtatiously, funny romance. Ms. Flowers made humor the main character and Jensen and Ireland willing supporters. Well meaning parents with marriage on the brain are never a good thing. Especially when the recipients are determined to fight the arrangement by any means necessary and fall right into a trap of their own making. A recipe for disaster that puts the charm in hilarious.

Liar By Stephanie St. Klaire
Fake it until you make it. That was the mantra Cori Dash chanted as she chased a big city dream. The more you tell people you’re on top of the world, the more they believe it – just like they believed the embellished image she sold them with her knock off designer facade. It wasn’t lying if the truth stood somewhere in the middle – and she didn’t get caught.
Dominic Blackthorne owned half of that big city…and a reputation. Rather than dispel rumors or show the world the real Nick, he let his own fake image run free. Until Cori Dash – the only person who told him exactly how it was, even if it stung.
When Cori is faced with her ex-fiance, now engaged to her ex-best friend, it’s game on. In her boldest move yet, she concocts her biggest lie to date by introducing the first handsome stranger that walks by as her new fiancé. Happy to play the part, Nick is already planning the fake wedding of her dreams.
You know what they say about lying – the truth always comes out – and it hurts. Especially when Cori finds out she isn’t the biggest Liar in this game, and she’s been out played.

REVIEW: LIAR (KINDLE WORLDS: IMPERFECT LOVE) BY STEPHANIE ST. KLAIRE
Liar by Stephanie St. Klaire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Is the facade more important than the person underneath? Liar is a true gem. Ms. St. Klaire uses humor and heart to deliver a message of powerful self - worth. We all have struggles to face, but obstacles have a way of destroying how we view ourselves. The truth has a tendency to get lost in the shuffle. Dominic and Cori are not perfect, they're human and both author and characters use that as a stepping stone to encourage living our own truths. Inspiration can be found in the most unexpected of places. Liar is evidence of that.

Pillow Talk by Brittany Holland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Naughty and nice is worth any price. Pillow Talk is my first Brittany Holland read and I didn't know what I was missing. Alexa and Ben are all my favorite romantic comedies rolled up into one. Sexy, sassy, sweet, tasty, scandalous fun. Love may not cost a thing, but the big laughs emitting from such a tiny book is a priceless reward.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Mira Gibson
American heartthrob and notorious bad boy, Zach Canning has gone and made the error of all Hollywood errors. No, it wasn’t sticking his foot in his mouth during an interview again, banging an almost underage fan, or even disappearing on another cocaine-and-booze addled bender. It was far, far worse, and now his TV show renewal contract hinges upon his ability to convince his fan base, the Christian Network, and America at large that he’s just as wholesome as his #Blessed character.
Jesus Christ, how?
Enter Abby Gallagher. As Irish-Catholic as they come, complete with flaming auburn hair and a cross dangling from her necklace, her image is perfect. She’s guarding one hell of a secret, however—she’s a virgin and saving herself for marriage.
When Zach’s publicist approaches her with the most unbelievable proposition—to dispel rumors surrounding the famous actor one sexy date at a time—Abby is more than intrigued. She’s been a fan of his show and has watched religiously… admittedly, a guilty pleasure.
What other guilty pleasures could he give her???
But the secret contract she’s presented with not only states she must pose as his girlfriend in the public eye while the paparazzi follow their every move. She must also elope with Zach in two weeks! Non-negotiable, legally binding, with a corresponding gag-order in place and no guarantee of true love…
Can she go through with it? Will she choose a thrill ride instead of love? What if she could have both with the same man?
