Every Book Needs A Margarita
Jodena’s 5 out of 5 Review
Making the Play by Cait Marie was a great start to the series! Between family drama, a smidge of romance and everything in between, this book will definitely hit you in all the feels. I can’t wait to read more of this series!!
Jodena’s 5 out of 5 margaritas review:
Awaken by Harmony Haun has been the first fantasy read of mine besides Twilight. I honestly couldn’t get enough of the characters and to learn everyone’s story. Amarah has to be my favorite female lead role so far this year. Harmony keeps you guessing at every page turn and a bit of spice is there too!! I am so ecstatic that this is a series and can’t wait to dive into book #2 for some more answers. Even if you aren’t a fantasy reader I definitely suggest to grab this one quickly, you will devour it.
Daphney Clarke can’t stand the cocky footballer next door. But after one steamy hallway kiss, Zander is convinced that “neighbors-with-benefits” would be a much better game to play than “neighbor wars”. Only question is, who will be the winner? Download now or read in Kindle Unlimited
Title: SWEEPER Author: Amy Daws Genre: Sports Romance Release Date: November 4, 2021 Cover Designer: Amy Daws
The cocky footballer next door has some serious game…luckily, Daphney Clarke knows how to play.
Zander Williams is the hot new American determined to take European football by storm. His head is so big, it barely fits under his backwards hat. And when he’s recruited to one of the biggest up and coming clubs in London, he’s certain to make his name known.
Managing the building where they live is only one of Daphney’s many jobs. It’s why she has zero patience for the obnoxious American on the other side of the wall who makes the most ungodly noises and likes to answer his door in nothing but a pink tea towel.
Tensions build and after one steamy hallway kiss, neighbor wars quickly shifts into neighbors-with-benefits and that’s a battle they both intend to win.
But Daphney doesn’t know the real reason Zander is in London and now she’s stuck in the middle of a game she didn’t even know she was playing.
★★★★★ Sweeper is undoubtedly a top 2021 read. A captivating blend of searing chemistry, a charming alpha hero, an exceptionally witty heroine, amusing banter, bursting with emotion, laughter, giggles, heartbreak tears, happiness tears, and steam, inside a world that has become a fictional home, with a family that has embedded themselves in my soul. Their love shines through you long after you reach the end. -Goodreads Reviewer
“Boop, boop, boop,” a deep voice echoes much too close to my face, and my eyes fly open in terror as I catch sight of Zander Williams’s finger by my nose.
“What are you doing?” I exclaim, scrambling up off my sofa and standing behind the arm of it to put some space between us. I hold my chunky blanket out in front of me like it’s somehow going to protect me from the psychopath currently standing in my flat.
Zander holds his hands up defensively, his eyes wide. “I didn’t mean to scare you!”
I blink back at him as my sleep-fogged mind clears, and I take in the surroundings of my flat. I reach up and touch my nose. “Did you just touch my nose?”
“I booped it.” An awkward smile spreads across his face as he grips the back of his neck. “You were sleeping so cutely. I thought it’d be a funny way to wake you up.”
“Funny?” I repeat, forking my fingers into my messy bun and glancing down to make sure I wasn’t having another wardrobe malfunction in front of him. “You thought it would be funny to break into my flat and touch me?”
His face falls. “Well, when you put it like that, it sounds creepy.”

A charismatic man cannot see beyond his own

A fiery curse is unleashed, engulfing the self-centered man’s entire existence.
When at last the flames are extinguished,
he gazes upon his reflection to discover he is no longer breathtakingly handsome
but condemned with scorched flesh and twisted scars.
He is no longer a man at all… but a beast.
While the ferocious beast rages, alienating everyone far and wide,
a woman whose beauty is far more than skin-deep
dwells in a world much simpler than his.The beauty’s quiet life is disrupted when she is ambushed, threatened,

testing her patience that threatens to be this sassy beauty’s downfall.
It’s the way her heart flutters whenever he is near.But some curses just can’t be broken, and really…
How can she truly ever love a beast?

This book by Starla is book #1 in The Pineridge Series. You know, that ‘crazy’ family at Christmas time that has all the festivities planned out even Christmas Day? Yep, the Whitley family is that one too!! This was the first time in 10 years that Izzy is back in her hometown. Is a second chance romance hiding behind a door that she doesn’t know still exists? This is a wonderful Christmas rom-com that will have you wanting to be apart of the Whitley family.
Savannah has become my go to for all the Rom-Com’s!! She has definitely done it again with this Christmas read. Lorelei and Tyler have become my new favorite couple. Lorelei, with her daughter has ventured to a small town to take her mind off of the hustle and bustle of normal everyday life. When she meets Tyler and the rest of the town, she finally feels like she is home. You’ll want to grab this and quickly devour it just like I did. Thank you Savannah for writing everything I love to see in a Hallmark movie!!

Avery Spark is living her best life. Between her friends, her sisters, and Spark House, the event hotel her family owns, she doesn’t have much time for anything else, especially relationships. She’d rather hang out with her best friend and roommate, Declan McCormick, than deal with the dating scene. But everything changes when she is in a car accident and needs someone to care for her as she heals.
Declan avoids relationships, giving him a playboy reputation that he lives up to when he puts a one-night stand ahead of a promise he made to Avery. While he may not have been the one driving the car, he feels responsible for Avery’s injuries and is determined to make it up to her by stepping into the role of caretaker.
Little did they know that the more time they spend in compromising positions, the attraction they’ve been refusing to acknowledge becomes impossible to ignore. When they finally give in to the spark between them, neither is prepared for the consequences. Their love is fragile and all it will take is a blow from the past to shatter it all.

Excerpt
Commotion from across the field catches my eye. Two of the riders seem to be at odds with each other. The hand on hip, head tip, nose-to-nose business gives me reason to believe there’s some kind of disagreement happening.
“That doesn’t look very friendly.” I nod in their direction.
“Maybe the horses need a time-out,” Harley mutters.
I give her the side-eye, and she fights a smirk.
“Uh-oh, we have hand and hobbyhorse flailing,” London says, pulling my attention back to the field. The argument seems to be heating up, not cooling down.
“You need to deal with that.” London gives my shoulder a shove. She’s amazing with finances and she’s great at connecting me with the right vendors, but dealing with conflict is not her strong suit.
“Not in the mood to mediate stuffed horses?” I drop my bag on the ground beside Harley’s feet and briskly cross the field as the argument escalates to yelling. I’m about twenty feet away when one of the men hauls off and whacks the other one with his hobbyhorse.
“Whoa! Whoa! Gentlemen! Time-out. That’s not very sportsmanlike conduct!” I call.
My admonishment goes unheeded, and the two men begin dueling with their hobbyhorses. The bigger of the two jabs the other man in the stomach and snatches his hobbyhorse when he loses his grip on it.
“Gentlemen! Please!” I shout, but it’s hard to be heard over their yelling and the newly formed crowd of hobbyhorse enthusiasts who have gathered and are now heckling the fighters.
Two other men toss their hobbyhorses to the hobbyhorse-less man with shouts of “Kick his ass!”
And here I thought this was a chill sport. Apparently I’m very, very wrong.
The hobbyhorsers face off again, each one holding a broom horse between their legs and another like . . . a sword, maybe? It reminds me of medieval jousting. Especially when they start stomping their feet, pawing at the ground, and prancing in place. I know things are about to escalate when they shake their heads back and forth, braying loudly and breathing out through their noses in a hardy snort.
Then they run toward each other, while yelling. Even if they’re beating on each other with stuffed horse heads, I’m not interested in anyone ending up with a concussion.
I jump in between them before they collide, which I realize a second too late puts me in a very perilous position. However, the man on my right swerves at the last second and ends up crashing into the trough, toppling it and at least half a dozen of the “feeding” hobbyhorses. The other man skids to a stop mere inches from me, loses his balance, and falls backwards onto the ground. It rained yesterday, so while it’s sunny and dry now, the ground is still soft and mucky. And he happens to land in a seriously squishy pile of muddy grass.
He also manages to hit himself in the family jewels with the hobbyhorse. He rolls onto his side, clutching the muddy horsehead and his junk. It’s quite the spectacle. Before it turns into absolute mayhem, I grab the megaphone from the group MC and shout, “Whoa, Nelly!” like an idiot.
However, it does the trick. Every single one of them freezes. “Rider number seventeen and twenty-three, you are disqualified from this round for roughhousing and inappropriate use of your hobbyhorse!” I’m totally making this up on the fly, but someone needs to get these guys under control, and they don’t seem to be able to manage it on their own.
The guy who nut slapped himself—number twenty-three—picks himself up off the ground and hobbles gingerly over to the bench, which is now assigned to disqualified hobbyhorsers. Number seventeen throws himself down on the other end with a huff.
I lower the megaphone and cross my arms. “This is supposed to be about team building and sharing something you’re passionate about. If you want to joust, I suggest you either join a club or interview for a position at Medieval Times.”

JoDena’s 5 out of 5 review
You know that fictional (based on a real) place you always wanted to live in………. well, believe me when I say that you need to forget about that place or bump it a couple of spots down. Why, you ask? Because Peachtree Bluff will move to the top of that list once you get your hands on this beautiful novel by Kristy Woodson Harvey!!
This was my first Peachtree Bluff Series book that I have read. Let me tell you, that I have the entire series on hold at my local library. The Murphy sisters have come back to Peachtree Bluff for the annual holiday festivities, but something is about to turn everything haywire. Is it a long held onto secret? Is it the weather in Georgia around this time of year? You will have to grab this right when it comes out on October 26th 2021.
As for those that know me…… know my favorite all time place is Tree Hill (Wilmington) NC. I have read Nicholas Sparks books since I was a teenager and fell in love with the Coast of NC. To be very honest this series, town of Peachtree Bluff, the Murphy family and Kristy have all moved to that number 1 spot for me of all time. I want to be apart of the Murphy Family and to live in Peachtree Bluff for as long as I can.
Kristy is definitely my new Nicholas Sparks when it comes to Southern Fiction!!!
Pre order to have this wonderful Christmas novel delivered to your doorstep on release day!!
