Like Hate by Rachel Leigh ~ Review by Juls

Like Hate by Rachel Leigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“ How is it possible to think about slapping someone and kissing them in the same thought? ”

Yes! Yes! Yes!!! I KNEW this story was going to be good! With the angst that was building up between Axel and Harper in Like Gravity and Like You, there was no way it wasn’t going to be sizzling!! I loved it, but also felt bad for Harper. Axel can be a major prick at times, but once things turned out the way they did, I couldn’t have been more happier! I really enjoyed this series. I feel that it just keeps getting better and better! I’m looking forward to more from Rachel Leigh!

***Release Blitz!*** WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT by Aly Martinez & M. Mabie

I will always be here for you. There isn’t a world that exists where I’m not gonna be around for you.

When the Time is Right, an all-new friends to lovers standalone from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez and M. Mabie is available now!

Fate doesn’t always happen overnight.

Hudson Bradley is the cockiest, most stubborn, hard-headed man I’ve ever known. And for fifteen years, he’s been my brother's best friend.

But lately, what I’m feeling for him isn’t friendship at all.

Why is my heart racing every time his blue eyes lock on mine? Why does every word he rumbles in my ear make my body come alive? And worst of all, why did I bet him that I could find a woman he and his son would both love?

If I hadn’t given up on love altogether, Hudson would have been perfect for me. After all, he was there the day my world fell apart. He’s spent the last six years piecing me back together.

There are a million reasons why we could never work, but after a single kiss, I can’t remember any of them.

Now that the time is right, I have to make him mine—before I lose him forever.

Another amazing read by this dynamic duo! I love these authors individually, but together, they are magic! When The Time Is Right is a MUST read. I adored this friends-to-Lovers, Brother's Best Friend, Single Dad romance. It has everything! I loved Hudson and Lex. Their story started out in such a heartbreaking way. I had tears while reading the prologue! Don't worry. While their story can be a bit emotional, there is also so much love and laughter wrapped around them. Little Jack steals the show and will keep you smiling until the very end. The epilogue is fantastic, and I can't wait to read what's next!

I’m the only Dixon brother to step up when our family crumbled.

Now she’s back.

Different hair. New style. Kid clutching her hand.

***Review Tour!*** THE RIVALS by Vi Keeland

Title: The Rivals

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance 

Release Date: July 13, 2020

Blurb

The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.

Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born.

Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather’s wedding day—when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather.

The two men spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third business partner.  But in the end, neither man could steal half of her heart away from the other.

Eventually, they all went their separate ways.  Our grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest business rivals in history.

Our fathers continued the family tradition of feuding.  And then Weston and I did, too.

For the most part, we kept as much distance as possible.

Until the day the woman who started the feud died—and unexpectedly left one of the most valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share.

Now I’m stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess our families inherited.

As usual, it didn’t take long for us to be at each other’s throats.

Weston Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his own good.  We were fire and ice. 

But that shouldn’t be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just one minor problem, though.   Every time Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.

My favorite Vi Keeland book yet! I have loved all of her books, especially The Baller, but this one just really resonated with me. I fell in love with Weston Lockwood immediately! From that first moment on the plane, I was hooked. I loved the way he antagonized Sophia. The chemistry between them was explosive. Weston's naughty comments and Sophia's witty comebacks had me laughing out loud. I loved the banter between them. This was such a fun, yet emotional, sexy read. It had the perfect amount of heart, humor, and heat. I loved it. I highly recommend!

Blurb: Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. The reno on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to keep her debilitating anxiety attacks at bay and begin to heal her heart...if she can ignore the ridiculously handsome guy next door. At twenty-eight, single-dad Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his five-year-old daughter and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbor is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel. She’s stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why. It doesn’t matter that their attraction is undeniable—she swore she’d never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer. She’s a barely breathing heartbreak on the edge of recovery. He’s a crash waiting to happen. 

Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.
