Weekly Round-Up

Welcome to another Friday everyone!

It's been another week of change, and this week has been slightly harder for me to find inspiration to write than others, so please excuse any changes in schedule.

I've read some fantastic books lately that I'm really excited to share with you, and on the other, I've read some books recently that I've honestly not even finished as I couldn't comprehend why on other I was reading something so sad in a book that was meant to be happy. Which leads to my question - do you share books that you couldn't finish?

In case you missed it, I continued my exploration of Kindle Unlimited vs Scribd this week, with a little more information here.

And then I may have completely forgotten which day it was, and published my reviews out of order (my apologies), but check out my reviews this week below (click on the picture to go to the review):

                    Parental Guidance Ice Knights Series Book 1 by Avery Flynn              Number Neighbors by Emma Hart

Next week I'm really excited to be sharing a book that actually mentions my hometown! I will mention at this point that I have lived in three countries, and have citizenship in two, and in one of those (Canada), I've never seen a book ever mention my hometown - so, please cue the excitement!

What are you reading this weekend?

Parental Guidance by Avery Flynn


Parental Guidance by Avery Flynn
All I want is to play hockey on the Ice Knights, instead, I’m in a viral video for all the wrong reasons and my mom—yes, my mom—has taken over my dating apps. Then, when I think it can’t get any worse, the fates deliver Zara Ambrose, a five-feet-nothing redhead with more freckles than inches and who’d rather be anywhere other than on a date with me.

Now a bet with her friends and my PR nightmare have us both stuck in this go-on-five-dates-with-the-same-person hell situation. But if we band together, we can get the whole thing over with and go on with our lives. It’s perfect! No feelings. No future. No fuc— *ahem* fun. No naked fun.

What could go wrong? Nothing—as long as I remember the rules. Don’t notice the way she looks in a dress. Don’t react when she does that little shivery sigh thing whenever we touch. Don’t think about the fact that she’s never had a toe-curling orgasm that wasn’t self-delivered and just how badly I want to change that.

Five dates—that’s it—and then we go our separate ways. At least, that was the plan...

I'll confess that at the moment I'm on a bit of an Avery Flynn kick, I just can't put them down! This was no exception, started, and finished, the same day.

One of the things that I love most about Ms. Flynn's novels is the ease at which the novel sweeps you in. A rarity in today's modern romantic comedy novels, this series is written from the third person, something this reader thoroughly enjoys and appreciates. More than that though, she really builds her secondary cast, not just focusing on the main characters, resulting in a well-rounded novel, and I'll be honest, keeps me hooked for wanting to read further books in the series.

The romance itself is hot, steamy, believable, and something that I would definitely be happy for. Both our hero and heroine are loveable characters and the romance progression is done extremely well. As mentioned earlier, the supporting cast is phenomenal and I love the links between her series, and definitely can't wait for the next instalment.

Weekly Round-Up

Things are looking up this week as we're going into July! Some parts of normality are returning, and I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. Until then, I'm going to keep burying my head in my happy place of romance novels and keep my fingers crossed!

It's a bit crazy to think we'll be in July next week. I had many plans for what my July was going to look like, but, I've also accomplished some things I'd been meaning to for awhile and hadn't had time too, so there's that! 

But, what have I been up to this week? Well, I've found some fantastic (and new favourite) authors who I'm excited for you to read about and discover, and re-read some old favourites. In case you missed it, check out what I've reviewed this week below (click on the pictures to be taken to the review):

                        The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory          Loud Mouth (Ice Knights series Book 3) by Avery Flynn

I've continued my exploration to find the best e-book provider and finding out more about Kindle Unlimited here. Plus, in case you're looking for a fantastic and light-hearted action/mystery romance, I've given you a list of recommendations here.

Don't miss dropping by tomorrow for our Saturday Night Film Night recommendation, and let us know what you've been reading this week!

Loud Mouth (Ice Knights series Book 3) by Avery Flynn


Loud Mouth, Ice Knights Series Book 3 by Avery Flynn
I never meant to say a word, not one single word. But I did. Now because of something I leaked--without even realizing it--I've inadvertently broken up one of the Ice Knights' most legendary bromances. And worse--I've kicked hockey star Ian Petrov's grumpy level to insane levels of grump.

And what could make it worse? How about the two of us being trapped together in a remote cabin after a massive blizzard. Neither of us can leave. Just us, the snow, his resentment, and OMG sexual tension so thick it would take a snowplow to break through it. I've got to get out of here before I do something even dumber than I've already done and kiss the sexy grouch with his misplaced anger and perfect pecs. That would be the worst, the absolute worst. But... would it be terrible if we gave in? Just a little? It's not like we're ever going to have to spend time together again.

Until the next morning when we're told we have to play chummy for the press until this news cycle blows over. F.M.L.

It's finally here!! I've been waiting for this book for awhile, so definitely couldn't wait to get start on this when I finally got it downloaded. I absolutely love hockey romance books, I couldn't tell you why specifically hockey (although maybe it has something to do with one of home countries!), but they are my catnip.

This is the third book in Ms. Flynn's Ice Knights series and in the Harbor City world. We're aware of Ian and some of the other characters mentioned from previous works, along with The Biscuit, so it's nice to see their story.

We're immediately thrown right into the story and into the major problem at hand - dealing with the fact that two former best friends are actually brothers and one has known for a long time, and the other is just finding out. Along with the fact that the person who accidentally leaked this secret is our female lead. We pick up straight into the chemistry between our leads, and the romance comes later.

Spoilers Ahead.
While I did love this book and the plotline, I did find myself slightly disappointed with not knowing more. We have a great plot with numerous side adventures that I would have loved to have seen more of, along with the romance between our two leads. While things were wrapped up for the most part, it would have just been nice to have seen more of the romance between our leads and more information about tidbits given, such as the relationship between Zara and her mother, or Zara changing her mind about leaving Harbor City. Don't get me wrong, this is a good summer romance read and one that does keep you entertained, I just was left feeling slightly unsatisfied.

Overall, another great summer read from Ms. Flynn, and I'm hopeful that we'll still have more left in the series!
