Lia Harris is tired of being the odd one out. She’s never quite fit in with her uptight family, and now that her roommates have all found love, she’s starting to feel like a third wheel in her own apartment. Fed up with her mother’s constant meddling in her love life, Lia drops hints about a girlfriend she doesn’t have. But with her brother’s London nuptials approaching, she needs to find a date to save face. Lia turns to her best friend, Rosie, for help, and Rosie delivers—with the fun, gorgeous Grace Poston.

Grace loves to have a good time, hiding her insecurities behind a sunny smile. Her recent move to London has provided her with a much-needed fresh start. Grace isn’t looking for love, and she hates weddings, having weathered more than her fair share of heartache. Friendships are different, though, so for Rosie’s sake, she reluctantly agrees to pose as Lia’s adoring girlfriend for the wedding festivities.

Both Grace and Lia are prepared for an awkward weekend, complete with prying family members and a guest room with only one bed. As it turns out, they get along well—spectacularly, in fact. Before they know it, the chemistry they’re faking feels all too real. But is their wedding weekend a fleeting performance or the rehearsal for a love that’s meant to last?

A delightful connection steals the show! Rachel Lacey easily wraps another set of destined lovers around her reader’s heart as she continues with book two in her lesbian romance series Ms. Right and I loved every minute of it! The back story is entertaining and the drama rallying between the two main characters and their surrounding lives leads to an attention holding story.

Lia will be very familiar to anyone who read the first book in this series and it was great to see her again and watch her get to step into the life she’s always dreamed of.

Grace is haunted by the unknown and the love and support she receives from Lia helps her become strong enough to step into a life she never imagined she could enjoy.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a sweet lesbian connection with a wholesome yet somewhat sexy atmosphere with a close knit group of friends surrounding them.

As the older sibling to identical twins Violet and Lily, Cami Porter was always the odd sister out. The divide grew even wider when their parents split up—while the twins stayed in Cape Sanctuary with their free-spirited mother, Rosemary, fourteen-year-old Cami moved to LA with her attorney father. Nearly twenty years later, when Cami gets the terrible news that Lily has drowned saving a child’s life, her mother begs her to return home to help untangle the complicated estate issues her sister left behind.

Navigating their own strained relationship, Cami readjusts to the family and community she hasn’t known for decades, including the neighbor who stands in the way of her late sister’s dream, while Violet grieves the loss of her twin and struggles to figure out who she is now, without her other half, as the little girl Lily saved pulls her back into the orbit of the man she once loved.

An emotional journey of love and healing! RaeAnne Thayne has a real talent for making her characters radiate love, warmth and acceptance no matter what trauma may be chasing at their heals, and SUMMER AT THE CAPE continues that pattern. I loved every minute of the Porter family and the reconnection of their wounded hearts. The characters are easy to like and relate to.

The Porter family is reuniting after tragedy strikes, and the depth of their pain and turmoil is spot on. There’s love and pain but also sunshine and laughter as they celebrate the good, support each other through the bad and rediscover the future side by side.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a family driven story with emotions running high as the past and future collide. Lots of family driven dialogue with touches of romance.

A hookup doesn’t have to mean just once. Right?

Brandon Smith
Keep it easy. Keep it fun. Never hold on. That sums up my relationship goals, with hockey teams and with women. I learned early on that love and family equals fights and heartache. So I’m always moving on to the next team, the next hookup, before things turn sour.

When I meet Lola at a tropical beachside bar, it’s the perfect set up for a little hot vacation sex. She’s gorgeous, funny, and most importantly, leaving for home tomorrow. But this time, I have a sinking feeling I’ll be sorry to see her go.

Lola McGrath
I knew after that night in Aruba I’d never see Brandon again. That’s fine; I’m too busy vying for the corner office to make time for relationships. But when our paths cross again in New York, our sizzling attraction leads to “just one more night”. Then another. And another.

We never meant to become friends with this many benefits. Especially the one neither of us ever expected—or thought we wanted.

An electrifying connection! With book 2 in her Bears Hockey II series Kelly Jamieson continues to delight with tempting hockey hunks and the feisty women that take them to their knees in GOOD HANDS. Interesting characters with a titillating romance held my attention throughout. Looking forward to more to come in this fun series!

Brandon has hang ups about his past but is a really down to earth guy that was easy to like.

Lola is a go getter and a delightful match for Brandon.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a close knit group of hockey guys and their spouses who love and support the game and each other as one guy after another finds his true love.
