Book Review: Bachelor Boss by Sara Ney

ByMs Ali Cat: Ali Crean | On April 08,20 | 0 Comment

Title: Bachelor Boss (Bachelor Club #2)
Author: Sara Ney
Genre: Contemporary Romance
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Office romance, they are hit and miss for me because I’ve never been part of the corporate culture. Office love is like a billionaire romance or Chicago pizza; I often miss the nuance. That said, I’m perfectly capable of appreciating a finely crafted man.

Phillip McGuire is hilarious and adorable; a total book boyfriend babe in need of his ‘The One.’ What he encounters is a snickering virago who just watched him do a duet chunder in the nearest company wastebasket with the co-worker that is a right PITA about his comings and going.

One of my favorite things about Sara Ney is she is a marvel with push and pull. She writes it like she was born with the gene–if there is a gene for it. Cecelia and Matthew in He Kissed Me First blew me away when the book came out, and I was a Ney-crack addict waiting for her next book to come out after reading it.

Two months have passed since the day I pushed Hayden away. Two months since I found out he loved me and wanted to be with me. I’ve been trying to move on and forget about him, but my heart refuses to listen.

Author: Stacy Travis
Genre: Romance
Release Date: 02 April 2020

Summary:

He makes me feel that spark I have always longed for.

French Kiss, an all-new sweet and sexy friends-to-lovers contemporary romance from debut author Stacy Travis, is out now!

It didn’t take a medical degree to know that Josh Weitz was insanely hot, from his swoony grey-green eyes to his dark hair that begs my fingers to run through it.

But he was my best friend, and I was too busy crushing on his roommate–otherwise known as the ‘Wrong Guy’–to notice.

Sure, Josh has always been there for me, and he makes me laugh like no one else can. But it’s only when ‘Wrong Guy’ stands me up in Paris and Josh shows up for me, once again, that I start to appreciate all the things I’ve been missing.

Like the way his eyes crinkle when he laughs, and how he always holds the door for me and the unexpected kiss we share under the Eiffel Tower. He makes me feel that spark I have always longed for.

But trust doesn’t come easy for me, and being with him is a risk.

Will I lose my best friend . . . or my heart?

Book Review: Pixieland Diaries by Christina Bauer

Title: Pixieland Diaries
Author: Christina Bauer
Genre: YA, Fairy Tales, Fantasy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Pixieland Diaries is so adorably cute. In my reading notes, I wrote: imagine if in the old movie Clueless Cher were a Pixie.

That is Calla. She is kind-hearted, if not a bit selfish. But she is just a fifteen–almost sixteen-year-old, five-foot-tall, pink hair, violet-eyed prankster, who isn’t good at being as evil as she is supposed to be. Her heart is a little too troubled by unfairness and iniquity of the old council buggers, determining so much of her life for her when she is so young and wise.

Written in the unique format of diary format entries for chapters, it changes the reader/narrator relationship, and a more intimate exchange occurs as the reader becomes a party to the secrets Calla is penning into her diaries.

Title: Playground Zero
Author: Sarah Relyea
Genre: Fiction, Historical, Coming of Age
Release Date: 09 June 2020

Summary:

1968. It’s the season of siren songs and loosened bonds—as well as war, campaign slogans, and assassination. When the Rayson family leaves the East Coast for the gathering anarchy of Berkeley, twelve-year-old Alice embraces the moment in a hippie paradise that’s fast becoming a cultural ground zero. As her family and school fade away in a tear gas fog, the 1960s counterculture brings ambiguous freedom. Guided only by a child’s-eye view in a tumultuous era, Alice could become another casualty—or she could come through to her new family, her developing life. But first, she must find her way in a world where the street signs hang backward and there’s a bootleg candy called Orange Sunshine.
