My Tour Stop for The Marriage Trap by Sheryl Browne!

I was granted early access to The Marriage Trap, courtesy of NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This book will be published by Bookouture, released on 07/30/19.

Karla's husband Jason packs his bags and leaves, claiming to be in love with someone else. His words crush her, and the stable mom loses her grip on reality as her life turns upside down.

I know that's a short synopsis, but I really can't say much else without seriously spoiling the book. I mean this in the best way possible, but reading this book was like watching a car crash. You know you shouldn't, but you can't turn away. The relationships in the book were all dumpster fires. Everyone is so incredibly flawed, minus Karla and Jason's kids. I found myself reading with my mouth open so many times. There was SO MUCH DRAMA, and I was there for all of it. I felt like a neighbor watching a fight happen in the street, creeping through my blinds to peek into their lives.

I have now compared this plot to a dumpster fire and a car crash, but I mean that in the best way. I could not put this book down. I read it in less than 24 hours. It stressed me out so much. When I finished, it felt like I could breathe again. It felt like the family secrets were MY secrets. Every time I thought it couldn't get worse or more stressful, it did. This book had me on the edge of my seat, and I'm so glad I was able to be part of the ride.

Another great book from Bookouture. Seriously. If you're into thrillers, pick this one up immediately. It's out now!

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill. She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet. I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living ...

Wine or Lose by Amanda Chaperon

I was so freaking disappointed by this book. I bought the alternate covers (which are absolutely stunning) at Romance Con and I expected to read about (PER THE AUTHOR) small town charm, office rivals to lovers, and a happily ever after. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t feel like I got any of that. The first problem lies within the setup of the relationship. Amara and Cal meet in a club, fall in love after like 2 hours, and go back to his place before Amara realizes that Cal is the new CFO that her dad just hired for their family’s winery. He calls her a party princess, she storms out, and fast forward to five years later, when they’re both still holding onto that. How have you seriously not gotten over that one interaction in the span of FIVE YEARS? Second, Cal hates women. You can’t convince me otherwise. When he was trying to prevent Amara’s father from giving her the company, he ONLY talked to her father, shook his hand, and plead his case with him. He paid no attention to ...

Twisted by Emily McIntire

Man, I’m obsessed with these books. The Never After series is probably my favorite series of all time because each story is just SO 👏 GOOD 👏 This one is an Aladdin reimagining, where the Aladdin character is a whiney little bitch, the Jafar character, Julian Faraci is a snack, and poor little Yasmin Karam has no choice but to marry him and suffer under the weight of his muscles and good looks. I devoured this one. If there was one thing I could ask for in my life, it’s that Emily McIntire write more of these stories because I’m almost at the end of the series and I’m not ready. 😭 If you’re into dark romance and alternative views to the fairytales we grew up with, run, don’t walk to these. If you don’t like them, read them anyway. She just might surprise you.
