Adult Review: Just in Time

Avery just came back from her time in Ireland, which she loved. Now her hometown seems small because her famous ex-boyfriend's back in town.

Roman's hiding a secrets about this next season in the NHL. Out in due to injury, he's spending quality time in his hometown since he left for the majors. The entire town treats him like a celebrity and it's beginning to annoy him.

The whole town's pushing them back together. It's not that they don't like each other or have great chemistry - but is there too much water under the bridge for them to make their relationship work again?

My Thoughts: The last of a trilogy featuring 3 friends finding love in Alaska. I love the small town charm, the meddling townspeople, and the strength of friendships. I loved the moments with Roman, Avery, and the hockey players. Lots of banter, humor, romance, and friendship makes this a great winter read!

review: Ex-Games

Hayden and Nick have a history. Now that their best friends are all dating, is it only a matter of time before they hook up again too? Hayden half wants to believe this could be true, but the other half thinks Nick is just playing her. One minute he's sweet and then the next minute he's cold. So they flirt and then fight - then repeat. But things change when Nick challenges Hayden to a snowboarding competition after making some snarky remarks about girls snowboarding in comparison to guys. Now the gloves are off as the school parts down the middle. It's no longer about snowboarding, it's the battle of the sexes and everyone's taking sides. Will Hayden and Nick's relationship survive the competition?

I LOVED the battle of the sexes plot. The flirty banter between the duo sizzles in this sporty winter tale. The romance stands out, but the secondary plots of friendship, insecurities, fears, and limits really ring true. Plus the title and the cover are both eye catching.

Review: Snow Queen

Aubrey's been jealous of her best friend's winter breaks to Vermont. This year, she can't believe that she's going too. Only she gets there to find there's no snow. What's a girl to do? Instead of playing in the snow, she's helping out at inn the run by Christie's grandparents and meeting cute boys at the ice skating rink. But before she knows it, Christie talks her into competing in the town's Snow Princess Pageant. At first, Aubrey agrees because it's Christie's wish to become the Snow Queen and she needs back up. Soon, she gets a look at the competition and decides that she needs to beat the snarky mean girl Layla at her own game. Too bad Layla is her new boyfriend sister and he doesn't see past her innocent act. Will Aubrey's competitive side push away all the people she cares about?





A new winter romance tale that's super cute. I love the previous books my this author. The snark between the two girls adds cringe worthy moments and laughter to the friendship tale. I think the cover's fun, but I wouldn't have minded seeing Vermont in the back ground either.
