How to Die Famous

Abel Miller is a rising star and just landed a role on the hottest reboot of Sunset High, produced by Omni Channel. But he is not there just for the acting role he landed. He is also on a mission. It has been no secret that there is a so-called curse on Sunset High, because terrible things happened to the actors in the past. Abel’s brother died while he was working on Sunset High. And Abel is now there to figure out what happened. And if Onmi Channel is the one to blame.

Review

First time I read a book by Benjamin Dean. I don’t read thrillers that often, even though I love them. I love my Freida Mcfadden books and I have also read other thrillers by different authors.

I liked the plot idea. Abel is sort off going undercover to find out what happened to his brother and if someone killed him and if Onmi channel is the one to blame. Omni channel was giving me Disney Channel or Nickelodeon vibes for the record. They all produce all young adult shows. Abel is not alone of course, he has three other co-stars: Lucky, Ryan and Ella. The curse everyone was talking about was interesting part. It wasn’t the first time something bad happened to people from Sunset High. And it is still happening. Bad things are happening to them right now.

But there was a huge reason why I didn’t like this book and I was sort off surprised. From the beginning the author makes it very clear who could be the bad person, the on who is stalking and murdering. But I have read other thriller books and I also know there will always be a plottiwst,except that never happened. By  2/3 of the books they made it very clear who the killer is. No plottwist came. That ruined the whole book for me honestly. I want to read thrillers and then be surprised who the killer actually is.

Sure, there were still interesting things happening at the end, but for me personally the whole story was already ruined. I want to figure out on my own who the killer is, not that the author makes it clear right from the beginning. That’s no fun.

Overall, I am just really disappointed. I really hope Benjamin’s other books do actually have plottwists, because this wasn’t fun. I still gave it 2/5 hearts, because I still like the plot idea. Or maybe I am just getting too old for YA thrillers at this point.

Don’t Brake My Heart

A year ago, Leesa Kubicka’s professional cycling career came to an abrupt end after a disastrous final race. Now, she’s working for a sports marketing company and is given the opportunity to lead a major project during the Tour de France. Her assignment seems simple: follow one of cycling’s biggest talents and create content around his journey throughout the race.

The problem? That talent is Colin Gallagher. Leesa already knows Colin from their days on the same cycling team. Back then, he was constantly pulling pranks on her, and she never quite knew what to make of him. Now, they’re forced to spend weeks together during one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

What Leesa doesn’t know is that Colin has had a crush on her for years. With the Tour de France underway and their paths crossing once again, he sees this as his last chance to prove that he’s more than the immature prankster she remembers—before she disappears from his life for good.

Review

First, I want to thank the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book!

The main reason I requested this book is that I’m from the Netherlands, and it’s centered around cycling. If there’s one thing you should know about the Dutch, it’s that we love our bikes. We use them for transportation every day. I cycle to work daily, so a sports romance about cycling immediately caught my attention.

I ended up giving this book 3 out of 5 stars for several reasons, but I’d like to start with the positives.

I really enjoyed the cycling theme. There are so many sports romances these days, but most of them focus on hockey, baseball, football, or Formula 1. I don’t think I’ve ever read, or even seen, a sports romance centered around professional cycling. This book revolves around the Tour de France, one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It’s hard to avoid during the summer, and I’ve watched it several times myself whenever I had the chance.

That said, I don’t think this was ultimately the right book for me. The biggest issue was that I never felt fully invested in the story. In fact, it felt like the most interesting part didn’t begin until around the 70% mark, when the Tour de France actually started. Until then, I found myself struggling to stay engaged.

The second reason was Colin. Unfortunately, I really didn’t like him as a character. Although he’s 25 years old, he often behaved like a 13-year-old boy. His constant pranks on Leesa felt incredibly childish and immature. I understand that his actions were supposed to show that he had a crush on her, but he was an adult during most of these interactions. There are far more mature ways to get someone’s attention, and instead of finding his behavior charming, I found it frustrating.

Overall, this book wasn’t for me, and I’m unfortunately not its biggest fan. However, if you’re a fan of sports romances and are looking for something different from the usual hockey or Formula 1 romances, this book definitely stands out. But the fact this book is about cycling/ Tour de France makes it stand out.

The Shippers

JoJo Burton is in her wedding dress, ready to get married, when Cooper Watts walks into the church. Suddenly, JoJo isn’t sure she still wants to go through with the wedding and calls it off. She begins to think she might be cursed, since her relationships never seem to work out.

Weeks later, she attends her sister’s wedding on a cruise ship, determined to break the curse. Her sister believes JoJo has imprinted on her first kiss with her childhood crush and that he is “the one” for her. Together with her wingman, Cooper, JoJo tries to impress him.

Cooper moved to London four years ago. He had to leave his past behind and ended up ghosting his best friend JoJo for years. Now he’s back, trying to protect JoJo from making another mistake.

Review

I have read a couple of books by Katherine Center by now, and honestly, I don’t think there’s a single book of hers that I didn’t like. Even better, I think I’ve given all of her books 5/5 stars on Goodreads. And as you can probably tell, this was another five-star (or heart) read.

There wasn’t a single thing I disliked about this book, so I’m just going to talk about everything I loved instead. First of all, the story is great. JoJo and Cooper were best friends, and then he suddenly disappeared and ghosted her. Yes, it was a really terrible thing to do without explanation, but you eventually find out why he did it. You just keep reading to uncover the truth. And okay, it’s a romance novel, you can probably predict his reason, but it still works.

This book isn’t just about romance. There’s also a bit of action. And I’m not talking about anything between the sheets because this book has zero spice. I mean that something actually happens to JoJo, and I couldn’t stop reading.

The characters were amazing. JoJo is trying to become someone else so that her old crush will like her. And honestly, isn’t that something most of us have tried at some point? Pretending to be someone we’re not? I loved Cooper the most. He cares about JoJo so much that he puts his own feelings aside to help her and even becomes her wingman.

The tension between them was incredible. I loved it; the yearning, the build-up, and the love they have for each other were just perfection. This is exactly the kind of romance I love to read. This book made me feel everything, from the happy moments to the more painful ones when they were fighting. It made me feel alive.

It was another amazing book by Katherine Center. Yes, it was very predictable, and normally, I don’t always love that, but this time, I didn’t mind at all. I was secretly hoping all my predictions would come true, and when they did, I was just so happy and giggling.

Bourbon & Lies

Laney Young witnessed something terrible, and to protect her, Officer Bea is hiding her from the world. Bea basically drops Laney off with the Foxx family in Fiasco. She trusts them and believes Laney will be safe there, as long as Laney keeps her mouth shut.

Laney immediately loves life on the Foxx property. The Foxx family makes bourbon, and she helps them organize events and manage day-to-day activities. All of the Foxx brothers are handsome, but Grant is definitely the one she’s most interested in.

As they grow closer, Laney is forced to keep many things secret. Grant gets the feeling that she’s hiding something, so he starts digging for answers. Unknowingly, he ends up putting Laney in danger.

Review

This is the first book in the Bourbon Boys series by Victoria Wilder. This first installment focuses on Grant, but all three brothers get their own love story and book.

This book falls into the romantic suspense genre, and honestly, I’m obsessed with books in this category. It combines two of my favorite genres: romance and suspense. You get crime and mystery mixed with a love story, which is always a winning combination for me.

The story starts off in a very interesting way. Laney is basically dropped off with the Foxx family. The Foxxes have no idea who she is or why she’s there, but they trust Officer Bea enough not to ask too many questions. Throughout the book, you get snippets of Laney’s life in New York, what she witnessed, and the reason she ended up in Fiasco in the first place.

The characters were all fine. Laney is trying to stay safe and avoid danger. She does her best to be careful while also enjoying her new life with the Foxx family. She fits right in with the rest of them. Grant, on the other hand, hasn’t been with anyone since losing his ex. He believes the Foxx family is cursed and that if they fall in love, their partner will die. So even though he’s attracted to Laney, he tries to keep his distance. While I liked both main characters, I didn’t love them. They were enjoyable enough, but nothing about them really stood out to me.

The plot itself was pretty interesting. As I mentioned, it’s a mix of romance and suspense, although I would say it’s about 75% romance and 25% suspense. Some chapters were genuinely engaging and fun to read, while others were just okay. The slower chapters mostly focused on the two main characters falling in love. It was cute, I guess, but not particularly memorable or mind-blowing. It was simply fine.

In case you’re wondering, this book doesn’t have a third-act breakup. It feels like almost every romance novel includes one of these days, so it was actually quite refreshing to read a story that avoided that trope.

The writing style was solid as well. Overall, I liked this book. The main reason I gave it 3/5 hearts (though it’s probably closer to 3.5/5) is that the story was just okay for me. Nothing made me giggle, blush, or become completely invested in the romance. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it wasn’t a favorite either.

That said, I’m still considering reading the other books in the series. I’m curious to see what kind of love stories the other Foxx brothers get.

Rating: 3.5/5 hearts. ½

First and Forever

Duffy DiStefano is one of the biggest Coyote football fans, and she goes to every game whenever she can. During one match, the Coyote mascot gropes her, and Duffy reacts by pushing him down the stairs while the crowd boos her.

Connor Cunningham is one of the star players of the Coyote football team. When news breaks that the mascot has been harassing women, Connor tries to help repair the team’s reputation. He asks Duffy out on a date, and the two quickly start having a good time together. Before long, Connor is even spending time with Duffy’s brothers and father.

Review

I love Lynn Painter’s books, so when this one was recently released, I knew I had to read it too, and it definitely didn’t disappoint.

It’s another sports romance. I’ve been reading a lot of sports romances lately, and I honestly thought I was starting to get tired of the genre. But apparently not, because I absolutely devoured this book.

The story follows a fake-dating trope. Duffy pretends to date Connor to make her father happier. After losing Duffy’s mother a year earlier, her father is struggling with both grief and his own illness, so Duffy believes this fake relationship might cheer him up a little.

What Duffy doesn’t know is that Connor also has his own reason for fake-dating her. He’s using the relationship for positive PR for his football team after everyone discovers that the team mascot had been sexually harassing women during games. Of course, not telling Duffy the real reason behind the fake relationship was a huge mistake. But aside from that, Connor was actually a decent guy. He spent a lot of time with her family, genuinely cared about her, and was always there for her. The only real red flag was keeping the truth from her.

I’m not exaggerating when I say I finished this book in just a couple of hours. I was completely obsessed with it, and that’s one of the main reasons I gave it 5/5 stars. The banter between the two main characters was amazing, and honestly, good banter is probably one of my favorite things in romance books.

If I had to point out one thing that felt a little strange, it would be how much attention was given in the first few chapters to Duffy fainting. Apparently, she faints pretty easily whenever she gets nervous or has a crush on someone—especially celebrities. Because of that, I expected it to become a bigger part of the story and happen a few more times. But after the beginning, it was barely mentioned again. I thought it was going to play a much larger role throughout the book.

Overall, though, this was another Lynn Painter book that I really enjoyed. The banter was fantastic, and it was one of those books that you simply can’t stop reading—the kind of story you become completely obsessed with.

The Mistake

John Logan can get anyone he wants; he’s popular and good-looking. Grace Ivers is attracted to him, but she thinks he has never even noticed her. So when Logan knocks on her door, she is surprised.

Logan was on his way to a party, but ended up at the wrong house. So instead of partying, he finds himself watching a movie with Grace. When they start making out, everything changes for Logan. He usually sleeps with different girls every night, but now he only has eyes for Grace.

Unfortunately for him, he says something stupid, and now he spends all his free time trying to prove to Grace that he is worth it and that he wants her back.

Review

I am speed-reading the first three books in the Off-Campus series. Apparently, you need to read the first three books before watching the show on Prime Video if you don’t want any spoilers. I thought reading just the first book would be enough, but apparently not. So now I’m reading books two and three. This was book number two in the series.

And I am really enjoying this series. Actually, I’m enjoying everything Elle Kennedy writes. Her books are so easy to read, and I enjoy every single minute of them. I literally finished this one in two nights; I was completely invested in the story.

Logan used to be a player, with a different girl every night. He has feelings for another girl, but she is taken, so instead he hooks up with other people to distract himself. Grace is the opposite; she has no experience because it never felt like the right moment for her.

She has a crush on Logan and eventually wants to hook up with him, but he says something that really hurts her feelings, and she ends up ghosting him. A few months later, they see each other again, and he asks for a second chance. She agrees; but only if he completes six challenges first.

I liked the characters. I mean, I didn’t like Logan when he was a player and using Grace. But luckily, he stops hooking up with other girls after he meets her. That’s kind of romantic in its own way. And he actually completes these crazy challenges, ones that a lot of men would probably give up on, so he earns a lot of bonus points there.

I also felt sorry for him because he is dealing with a lot in his life, including issues with his father. I liked Grace a lot as well. She is smart and knows how to set and protect her boundaries, and I really respect that.

Just like I mentioned before, I always enjoy these kinds of stories, and this time was no different. It was another page-turner. These books are perfect when you want something fun and cute to read. I’m expecting the rest of the series will be just as enjoyable as the first two books. I also have high expectations for the Off-Campus series overall.

The Worst Wedding Date

Laney is in Hawaii for her best friend’s wedding. Now she’s stuck with Theo, whom she’s supposed to be babysitting. Theo is a grown man, but trouble seems to follow him everywhere, and this week he has to stay clear of the groom before he ruins the entire wedding.

To make things easier, Laney has to stay in the same cabin as Theo so she can keep an eye on him. They end up spending a lot of time together. Laney starts to loosen up, finally letting go of her strict rule-following ways.

It doesn’t take very long until she realizes that Theo is not only good-looking but also has a heart of gold. But Theo is hiding something big, and I’m not talking about the kittens he’s keeping in the extra bedroom.

Review

Usually, I start with the positive feedback, the things I liked about a book, before moving on to what I didn’t like. But this time, I feel like I should start with the “negative” points, because the things I liked less happened at the beginning of the book.

Sometimes I write down notes while reading that I can use later in my reviews. One of the things I wrote down this time was: man child. At the beginning, I really felt like Theo was just a big man-child. I mean, what 30-year-old needs a babysitter? It also seemed like he didn’t take life seriously; the kind of person who might never grow up. I also didn’t like the scene where he accused Laney of touching his morning wood when it was actually his own hand.

But you know what? Eventually, I started to really like Theo. He’s not very open about it, but he clearly cares about his sister and did everything he could to make the wedding a success. He paid for the wedding, put together the rehearsal dinner, and handled everything else when the resort staff wasn’t available. He was the one fixing everything. And honestly, how can you stay mad at a man who rescues kittens and takes care of them?

Laney was fine as a character, but spending more time with Theo really helped her grow. She grew up with very strict parents, works at their company, and is about to become the new CEO. Being around Theo made her braver, and she realized it’s okay to have fun too. At first, I thought it was strange that she still cared so much about her parents’ opinion and still followed their rules, but then I reflected on it and realized that it’s actually quite relatable. A lot of people crave their parents’ approval; I know I do sometimes.

This book was a lot of fun to read. I actually laughed out loud when I found out Theo’s big secret; I did not see that coming at all. It was hilarious. The Hawaiian setting also gave the story strong summer/vacation vibes. For a few hours, I felt like I was on a sunny island in a completely different world.

This is the first book in the Three BFFs and a Wedding series, and we already got a glimpse of Sabrina’s story. She had a one-night stand, and when she returns to work after the wedding, she discovers that he’s actually her new boss. That’s definitely going to be fun, and I can’t wait to read that book.

The only other thing I want to mention is that I’m not the biggest fan of epilogues. Most of the time, I don’t really care for them. This book has four epilogues, which felt like a bit of overkill to me. However, I did enjoy the bonus epilogues from Fred’s point of view; that was a fun and cute.

The Bali Bucket List

Jasmine seems to have it all: a good job, a fiancé, and a great life overall. But one night, everything changes when her fiancé suddenly dumps her. Left heartbroken and questioning everything, Jasmine realizes she has no idea who she truly is anymore.

Determined to rediscover herself, she books a trip to Bali. At the hostel where she’s staying, she quickly meets a group of new friends. At the start of her journey, she creates a “Bali Bucket List” filled with experiences she wants to try, and she also decides to document her journey on a personal blog.

The longer Jasmine stays in Bali, the more new people she meets; and before long, three very different men become interested in her.

But when her anonymous sex blog suddenly goes viral and threatens to expose her identity, Jasmine is forced to confront the person she’s become. Because sometimes, finding yourself is the only way to find the love you’ve truly been searching for.

Review

This book was available on NetGalley, and I was immediately drawn to the title and the cover. I was curious about what the story would be about because it sounded like something I would enjoy.

The book follows Jasmine, a woman who gets dumped three months before her wedding and decides to go on a journey of self-discovery. But her journey isn’t easy. It’s messy, and she makes a lot of mistakes and hurts people along the way. Jasmine tries so hard to become a different person that she (almost) loses herself in the process.

I really liked the storyline, and honestly, it felt different from most of the books I’ve read over the past few years. Every time I thought Jasmine was going to do one thing, she surprised me by doing something completely different instead. There were several unexpected moments, and I always appreciate that in a story. This book wasn’t predictable at all, which made it stand out. I wouldn’t call it a typical romance novel, but in this case, that’s actually a good thing.

One of the things I loved most about this book was the strong Eat Pray Love vibes. Eat Pray Love mixed with Bali created such an enjoyable vibe. Honestly, while reading, I started daydreaming about booking my own trip to Bali. I’ve heard good things about Vipassana meditation retreats before, and this book captured exactly the kind of self-discovery journey I expected from that setting.

There were quite a few characters, but most of them were entertaining. I really disliked Dylan, the ex-fiancé, because he dumped Jasmine to be with another woman. I was honestly surprised that Jasmine stayed in contact with him and still considered him a possible option. I’m not sure whether Jasmine was naïve or simply very lost at that point in her life; probably a bit of both.

Jasmine definitely made choices that I personally would never make, although I would absolutely go to Bali for a Vipassana meditation retreat.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was fun, empowering, and unexpectedly different, and I loved the Eat Pray Love / Bali vibe throughout the story. This was my first time reading a book by Ava Wilde, but I’m definitely open to reading more of her work. I have a feeling she doesn’t write typical romance novels, and I like that.

Protect

Rowan Kingsley has been through a lot over the past few years, including the loss of his best friend. His job as a hotshot firefighter isn’t easy, but it’s what he loves to do.

Now, Violette Taylor is back in town. Rowan dated Violette, the twin sister of his late best friend, when they were just 18 years old, and seeing her again brings back a flood of memories. But it’s not just difficult for him. Being back in Sky Ridge isn’t easy for Violette either; everything reminds her of her twin brother, who passed away years ago.

Review

This is the second book in the Sky Ridge Hotshots series, which is written by three different authors, something I think is pretty cool. I really enjoyed the first book, Fight by Sloane St. James, and I was excited to read this one as well. I was already somewhat familiar with Paisley Hope, since I recently read three of her books and absolutely devoured them.

The books I previously read by Paisley all had a cowboy theme, and for some reason, I’m really enjoying cowboy romance stories. I’m not entirely sure why I find cowboys so attractive, but I’ve now discovered that I’m also drawn to firefighter romances.

The main characters, Rowan and Violette, are great. They have a lot of chemistry, even though their breakup years ago was messy. They’re still clearly attracted to each other, and you can really feel the tension between them. I especially liked Rowan because he’s such a gentleman. The small things he does for Violette and her daughter completely melted my heart. The three of them together were just incredibly cute.

But this book isn’t all sweetness. Early on, you get a clear sense of how dangerous Rowan’s job as a firefighter really is. He even gets into an accident and ends up in the hospital with burns. I happened to read this book while there was a wildfire in my country, which made it hit even harder. It really made me realize how dangerous this job is, and I definitely have a lot more respect for firefighters now. This aspect of the story also added some action, which I really enjoyed. It wasn’t all fluff and romance; I liked the balance between tension and love. I think that combination is my favorite, and it’s probably why I’d also enjoy romance stories about soldiers, even though I haven’t read any yet.

The reason I’m giving this book a 4/5 instead of a full 5/5 is that I usually reserve five-star ratings for books that make me laugh out loud, truly move me, or feel life-changing. This one came close, but not quite. Still, I can highly recommend both this book and the series.

In her own league

Reese Remmington is the first woman to own a baseball team, and there is a lot of pressure to do everything right. She is more than qualified, but when you’re a woman leading a men’s sports team, all eyes are on you. She can’t afford any distractions and has to stay fully focused on the team.

It doesn’t help that the field manager, Emmett Montgomery, is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. Everyone loves him. He’s not happy that his new boss seems to be all about numbers and money and doesn’t appear to care much about the team.

But after being forced to spend a lot of time together for work, Emmett realizes that she actually does care; she’s just afraid of making mistakes. And slowly, the spark between them becomes harder and harder to resist.

Review

I’m not always up to date with new releases, in the sense that I never really know which books are coming out in a year or even six months. So when I read the last book in The Windy City series about Rio, I thought that was it. I assumed it would be the final book in the series.

And technically, it was. This book is more of a standalone, but I still see it as part of the series anyway. So I was wrong, and I’m so happy that Liz Tomforde wrote this book.

The story is super cute, amazing, and uplifting. I’m all for girl power, especially when a woman works in a highly male-dominated field, and she’s the boss. How cool is that? I was definitely rooting for her and hating anyone who stood in her way or questioned her.

I understand why a lot of people thought she was cold, but she was just really focused on improving the team. She didn’t want any distractions, which made her come across that way, even though she wasn’t. So yeah, I really liked Reese.

And of course, I also liked Emmett. He appeared in the other books, and everyone already loves him. He’s the field manager, but the team feels like his family, which I thought was really sweet.

In my opinion, this is one of my favorite books in The Windy City series. Okay, technically, it isn’t part of the series according to Goodreads, but I’m counting it anyway.

It had everything I needed: girl power, so much chemistry, and great banter. I was eating it up. I loved this story so much.

And suddenly… I had a crush on an older man. He was basically the perfect man in my opinion, supportive, uplifting, and her biggest fan. I loved that.
