Hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words, which means I’ll be answering these questions:
This week’s topic is actually Relationship Freebie (Pick a relationship type and choose characters who fit that relationship as it relates to you. So, characters youโd like to date, be friends with, be enemies with, etc. Bookish families youโd like to be a part of, characters youโd want as your siblings, pets youโd like to take for yourself, etc.)
Working as a nanny for the worldโs grumpiest single dad should have been simple. Except I canโt keep my eyes off him. And he canโt keep his hands off of me.
Cade Eaton is thirteen years older than I am and barely looks my way. Until I get him into the hot tub one night for a game of truth or dare. Then all bets are offโand so are our clothes.
Heโs gruff, a little rough around the edges. But broad-shouldered ranchers with calloused hands and filthy mouths are this city girlโs kryptonite. So who am I to resist?
But itโs in our quiet moments together that he softens. Itโs when he takes care of me that I realize his hardened exterior is just a faรงade. Itโs when I watch him go all sweet with his little boy that I really fall for him.
Someone convinced him once that his best wasnโt good enough. But Iโve never felt more cherished than I do in his arms.
My contract may say this arrangement is only for two months.
But my heart says this is forever.
TL;DR: I can honestly say that I didnโt expect to love this as much as I did. I wasnโt a big fan of Cade in book oneโas letโs just say his actions and words didnโt inspire much attractionโbut this book flipped that script and boy howdy, did I love it! ๐ Their chemistry was great, the banter had me giggling, the romance was sexy and sweet, and a wonderful family dynamic shines through in this book. My favourite in the series thus far!
We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today!
I’m spending my Sunday night in bed reading A Rose Among Thorns by Ash Fitzsimmons. I’m reading this for a blog tour next week. It’s an indie fantasy novella, so it shouldn’t take long to read. The start was rough for me but I’m enjoying the banter and am keen to see where it goes ๐
Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme created by Rukky @Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @Book Nook Bits, and it’s where we get to discuss certain topics, share our opinions, and spread the love by visiting each otherโs posts! Check out all the past topics if you want to join in the bookish discussion fun.
This week’s topic is actually a mid-year reading check-in but since I just posted my Mid-Year Check-In Tag earlier this week, I’ll be doing last week’s topic:
Blogging Essentials
Prompts: What could you not blog without? Do you have to have a posting schedule? Do you rely on a set TBR to make sure you get to all the books on your list? What have you discovered helps your blogging most?
The rules were simple… Keep my hands off his daughter and stay out of trouble. But now Iโm stuck with her… And thereโs only one bed… Oh well, rules are made — to be broken… aren’t they?
Iโm the face of professional bull riding — the golden boy. Or at least I was, until it all blew up in my face. Now my agent says I have to clean up my image, so Iโm stuck with his ball-busting daughter for the rest of the season as my โfull-time supervision.โ
But I donโt need a goddamn babysitter —
especially one with skin-tight jeans, a sexy smirk,
and a mouth she canโt stop running.
A mouth I just canโt stop thinking about…
Because Summer isnโt just another conquest. She sees the man behind the mask, and she doesnโt runโshe pulls me closer, even when she shouldnโt.
She says this means nothingโbut I say this means everything.
She says there are boundaries we shouldnโt cross. That my reputation canโt take any more hits — and neither can her damaged heart.
I say Iโm going to steal it anyway.
TL;DR: I can see why this is such a popular romance. I enjoyed their hate-to-love dynamic and how they got to know each other. Despite moments in the end when both characters irritated me with their decisions and drama, Summer and Rhett complemented each other well. This was a lot steamier than I expected but overall, a fun small-town cowboy romance!

Then comes an invitation to dance from a handsome stranger named Antonio. Normally cautious and reserved, Natalie somehow finds herself saying yes. A tiny thrill of rebellion, of taking a chance, and Natalieโs in heaven. Will her first step into this unfamiliar realm set a new course for her life, or only tonight?

I’m spending my Sunday night in bed reading Flawless by Elsie Silver. When I started I didn’t realise I’d already read it (I thought it was the second book in the series) but I’ve been meaning to finish the series so maybe I’ll do that this time!
