Book Review: The Run Option by Annah Conwell

 



🏈The Run Option by Annah Conwell🏈
Book 3 in the More Than A Game Series
4 Stars

Really liked this one! You know I love a good marriage of convenience trope and mix it with sports romance - ✨SIGN. ME. UP!✨ 

Let's face it. JASON KINGSLEY THO. Such a great MMC in this book! He is my favorite MMC so far in this series. He falls for Willow first and I loved his inner monologue and their banter - but I love good snarky banter in books and THIS BROUGHT IT!

Willow does marketing for the football team. When her visa doesn't get renewed properly she is subject to being deported back to Canada in the next 60 days. When Jason is seen carrying Willow out of a party because she hurt her ankle, the press runs wild with the photos - damaging their reputation together. Jason knows Willow's situation because she had a little too much to drink and spills all her struggles to him while he takes her home. The next day, he proposes a marriage of convenience if you will - to help her be able to stay in the states to help her grandmother and keep her job - and to help his PR image. 

He falls head over heels in love with her and continues to pursue her and show her he isn't the bad boy image she's thought....winning Willow's heart ain't easy though!

Annah always writes these fun characters that make you root for their relationship. All the times Jason would flirt with Willow and try to win her heart were SWOON WORTHY honestly! It made me want  Willow to open up a little bit sooner though and not hold a grudge as long for their first meeting as she did. Romance was closed door, content details at the end of the review if needed.

Overall, a solid book in the series and looking forward to the next one!

Also, if you can listen to the audio of this, I HIGHLY recommend that version because the dual POV narrators are AWESOME!

Content: Closed door romance: Implied intimacy between a married couple, there are some steamy make out scenes, one of which leads to a fade to black moment. There is talk of grief, as well as neglect by parents.

  Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass - 4 Stars  Book 1 in A Bookmobile Cat Mystery Series This was a fun introduction to a new cozy mystery series with a cute cat sleuth helping along the way! With the help of her rescue cat, Eddie, librarian Minnie Hamilton is driving a bookmobile in the resort town of Chilson, Michigan. Things happen she least expects when Eddie runs off and finds the body of a local man in town..... Minnie is ready to let the police solve the case but Eddie seems to smell a rat! Together they work to find the killer.  This was a really fun one to read while I was recovering from having surgery this last week! :) As a gift from my friend Tammy, I am so glad I read it! (And that I had my kitty Simba right there with me while I read it was a cute bonus!) Eddie is a stubborn kitty and I LOVED THAT! He kept on pushing the limits to help Minnie out. :)  A bookmobile is also a unique thing to find in books that I absolutely loved. I am looking forward to more ...

Book Review: The Queen's Cook by Tessa Afshar

Image
  The Queen's Cook by Tessa Afshar - 5 Stars  I have said it before and I will say it again, Tessa is the master of biblical fiction! I loved this story of Roxannah, the daughter of a once-privileged but now impoverished Persian lord, working in Queen Esther's kitchens. In this story, we see her determined to support her mother and repay her father's debts - she seeks out Adin to help her find work. Adin sees the need and secures her a position in the royal kitchens of Queen Esther.  Guided by Esther's grace and wisdom, she finds herself navigating prejudice and palace politics and deepening her bond with Adin along the way. As Roxanna goes up in the kitchen ranks, she and Adin uncover a plot targeting Amestris, the king's most powerful wife and Queen's archenemy. This sets things in motion from here in the plot.  This book has a rich historical setting of ancient Persia - very vibrant and immersive. Also, the culinary details in this were - chef's kiss! I l...
