Part 1 of my Review of Love at First Laugh by multiple authors.

Second Impressions by Pepper Basham

Surprise you have a roommate on a vacation you didn't plan! Nora handled this situation with more GRACE than I personally would ever be able to master. The question here though would be did her matchmaking mother arrange this or did his match making uncle, of course this could be just one huge misunderstanding.

This story is lovely and lighthearted. I adored the quick whit in which Nora defended herself for being an AUSTEN NUT. Ethan is a man tired of being used for his money and jumps to conclusions before finding out the facts.

My downside to this particular Novella is that I felt as if I was missing too much between the lines when we switched scenes in book. It would go from a conversation to something else completely and to me that made it feel a little jumpy. I also am not a huge history buff and must confess the Regency period does nothing for me. Not to say the story is set in that time period it just talks a lot about that time.

Mowed Over By Christa Coryell

I adore Willow's sense of humor. At first I was a little worried about her sanity myself but the more I read about her the more I enjoyed her. She has a very creative side and is very entertaining. Poor Clint is so weary of her he isn't sure what to think. I can't say I blame him though she came on a little crazy strong by throwing herself in the path of his mower. Clint is a sweet kind gentleman with a burly mountain man side.. I love the fact he has a beard. I love a beard. The whit between the two made this Novella absolutely entertaining I adored it. The lightness, the faith, as well as the love it was absolutely wonderful.

An Informal Affair by Heather Gray

Best friends or something more? Only the joys of several failed dates with others can answer that question. The laughter of this Novella was absolutely humorous I laughed pretty much the entire way through. I am loving the stories of the failed online dates. The lies people tell and the way people live are very entertaining.  I literally laughed out loud at the Network stowaway Elf. I think it has to be my favorite line in the Novella. I tend to pick apart everything though and my issue with this one would have to be that Lia is way to set on finding her perfect match. It's almost like she lives to find her soulmate and forces Maverick to do the same. To me it made her seem way to needy.

Last Chance Rebel by Maisey Yates

Rebecca and West have both lived in their own personal hell. This is my first book of the series and I want to go back and catch the rest of them. I listened to this one on audio while driving. It was intense dark as well as loving and entertaining. I am unsure of how I feel considering the circumstances of the history of each character.

Rebecca has had a horrible life and been raised by the only member of her family that she feels cares about her and to knowingly disappoint him by becoming involved with the main that has caused them so much pain isn't a viable option in my book. If Gage hadn't been who he was to them I could understand the love between the man and woman. I guess I feel how many of the secondary characters in the book felt about this romance.

To much contrast in this one for me.

Cowboy In The Extreme by Rita Herron

Kim and Brandon have your typical history of a mother not telling a man she was pregnant because she was scorned and than scared of how it would effect his life. Yet later regretted it. Little Lucy was a lovely child who deserved all the Love in the world. I love how they eventually worked past the problems that originally tore them apart and fought to make Lucy the priority.

This story had a slight twist in it but I figured out who the vilan was not long after they were brought into the story.

Stern & Bachelor Untamed by Brenda Jackson

I loved JO JO she was so strong and realized as soon as she had an actual conversation with Walter that he wasn't meant for her. I loved how she told him where to go and how to get there. I wished that Stern didn't take so long to realize that he was in love with his best friend.


Ellie and U also had a wonderful story of a typical man refusing to listen and getting upset over something stupid. He then caused them a lot of wasted years that they could have just been together.
All in all I loved both Books.

Hot Mess by Madeline A Rosenberg

I found this book to be every where. I had a difficult time following the story line. Anna is your typical girl after a break up but I think deep down she had more emotions to this. She was one of those girls that needed to be saved. I personally don't deal well with these types of females. We are the creators of our own lives and we right our own stories to read about someone who is incapable of doing so just doesn't do it for me. This would be a good young adult novel but I don't see it making contemporary romance. It has multiple characters that is constantly moving between. It was just a bit to much teen drama for me even though they were in their twenties.
Book given to me as a request to give my honest review by the author.

Twice a Hero, Always Her Man by Marie Ferrarella

Mommas know best

I absolutely adore the matchmaking mommas! They crack me up every time. I was wondering exactly where they were gonna get the couple for the next match. Ellie and Colin are wonderful together. The immediate chemistry was admirable. Yet the guilt of not knowing how to deal with complexities of the relationship was strongly encouraging. How the couple overcome the circumstances was wonderful. I love a heartfelt happy ending.

Hot Fusion by Shana Gray

I absolutely adored this little short book. My only issue with it was it just wasn't long enough! The story between Kara and Max was Hot and exciting. The chemistry was off the charts and always had been. Even years later no one else could make them feel the sparks they felt together. If you are wanting a something short to read and like steamy hot romance than this is definitely your book.
