This was my first read by Kate Stewart and it was fantastic. I am once again in the romantic comedy rabbit hole and this one was so good. I literally laughed out loud so many times, and even swooned a few times. This one is for sure worth picking up!  "Strike one- my mother named me Theodore after her favorite chipmunk. Not cool, Mom. I've spent most of my life answering to Teddy, because I couldn't make Theo work. Except for here. College. The place where all bets are off, and I've managed to redeem myself. There's only one problem, my new roommate, Troy, is football royalty and looks like he stepped off the set of an Abercrombie shoot. Doesn't matter, I cook a mean breakfast for his panty parade, and we get along well. And anyway, this year I got the girl. And she's perfect. That's right. Theodore Houseman, former band geek, now marching band rock star has finally landed the girl of his dreams. Everything is perfect. That is, until Troy takes a...

  BLURB A sweet, flirty, and heartfelt romance with two roommates that spend one enthralling summer together. After her car accident, Monica believes her dance career is over, despite the positive outlook everyone else has. Instead of trying to get back on her feet, she works on perfecting the art of couch surfing. Famous author, Gabe Mitchell, doesn’t fare much better. On top of watching his roommate letting her life pass by, he also suffers from a major bout of writer’s block. Hoping a change of scenery will get them both out of their rut, Gabe takes matters into his own hands and whisks Monica away to his own personal haven. What neither one of them expects is the attraction to each other to bloom even though Monica will leave Brooksville in a matter of weeks. Their time together is filled with skimpy bathing suits, sexy fantasy book inspirations, hot tub make-out sessions, and new job prospects. It’s plenty to reignite their creative flames, but will it be...

After reading the prequel to this book, Falling From Gravity , this book was everything I hoped it would be. The heart, angst, heat, and love was all still there only multiplied by 1000. I received an ARC of Defying Gravity from the author, and it releases TOMORROW July 25th!!  "Our greatest risk was the one we never took … It was an accidental spring fling three years ago—one week spent in the mountains of Big Sur and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend’s older brother. Or that upon our return his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any potential future we could have shared. Now, I’m fulfilling my own dreams in L.A. and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide. Not now. Not here. Not him. But he struts back into my life like he never even left. Unfortunately, I’ll never forget what happened after he did. The ball is in my court, b...

Falling From Gravity is a prequel to K.K. Allen's book Defying Gravity, which is set to release on July 25th! Falling is currently available on Amazon for FREE right now, so I highly recommend grabbing that one before the 25th! This prequel just showed me how amazing Defying is going to be, and I CAN'T WAIT! "If I hadn't considered Amelia dangerous before, I certainly did now. She wasn't anything like I had expected. Even after all these years-of living so close to her, of listening to her giggle with my sister in the bedroom next to me- I hadn't given much thought to my sister's best friend.  But in the span of one week, everything had changed. Everything." *Falling From Gravity is a standalone short story and also the prequel to Defying Gravity (releasing on July 25th!)* I really enjoyed this sneak peek into Tobias and Amelia's story. It was written so well, it only has me more excited to read their book! I liked that we got t...

Surprise, Surprise..I like yet another Teagan Hunter book. The texting series has been out for a while, I'm late to the game, as usual, but I just adore these books. This one was book 3 in the series..you can find my reviews for the first two here on my blog. These books are so fun to read, they are a little bit steamy and very funny. I love the way Teagan writes.  "Hi Monty. Wanna see my python?" That's how I ended up in the bathroom of some dive bar with a stranger. Me, Monty Andrews, the quintessential virgin girl next door. I was so out of my element, but there was no denying our explosive attraction, even via text. Commence operation Bang Each Other Out of Our Systems, because that was all it was- unfinished business. I had no intention of falling back into the sheets with the tattooed, muscly, dirty-in-the-best-kind-of-way single dad over and over again...but I did. Everything was going great- until we discovered I was his son's teacher." "...

I usually wait a few books between authors, even when I'm reading a series, I don't like to be burnt out. I read book one in the Dogwood Lane series just the other day, and I loved the story and the town so much I couldn't wait to dive back in. These are stand alone romances, but it's always better if you read the whole series so you can keep up with your favorite characters.  "That cream filled, caramel-topped doughnut should have been hers. Still, Haley Raynor can't deny that the pastry thief with the dreamy blue eyes looks even more delicious. But moving in on a handsome devil like Trevor Kelly is bad news for a die-hard romantic like Haley. Trevor doesn't believe in love. She does. Giving in to a fling and Trevor's irresistible charms can't end well. Can it? What can it hurt to give it a shot? Girls always fall for Trevor, and in the end, he always ends up looking like a bad-boy cad. Still, spending some time with Haley and her smart-talki...
