Book Review: The Double Play by Annah Conwell




The Double Play by Annah Conwell
Book 4 in the More than a Game series but can be read as a standalone 

4 Stars

OK Y'ALL this was SO cute! 😍

This sports rom-com had me smiling and giggling the whole time! 💕 Emmett Foster is your classic grumpy single dad (we love to see it!), and the sunshine-y FMC, Hazel, brought so much heart to the story. Their chemistry? SO CUTE. 

Even though Emmett is guarded due to his ex-wife leaving him and their daughter June when she was born....💔 you feel the tenderness behind his gruffness....especially when it comes to his daughter. When his parents who have helped watch June decide they are going to take time to travel, they start interviews for a nanny to help out. Just in time, Hazel is looking for a new job after the family she has been working for is moving back home. Hazel starts working for Emmett and the rest is history.

I loved June's addition to the story. Y'all know I am a BIG FAN of the single parent trope and this delivers so much to the story with June's interactions and love front and center.

If you love:

⚾ Single dad sports romance
☀️ Grumpy x Sunshine
💌 Slow-burn, sweet chemistry
💬 Heartfelt moments + witty banter
 💕Closed-door, clean romance

Then this book is for YOU! Add this to your TBR if you want a feel-good, swoon-worthy read with depth and heart. 💛 

The only reason this isn't a 5 star fav for me is just because I wanted a little bit more of Emmett and Hazel getting to know each other outside of her nanny job before the feelings started and some of the make out/romantic desire is a bit more then I usually prefer, but overall, a solid closed door romance I recommend!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. My opinions are my own.

Book Review: Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass

  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: Fearless by Lauren Roberts

Fearless by Lauren Roberts Book 3 in the Powerless Trilogy 3 Stars OK, let’s dive into the review! I have sat with this all day and I think I’m going to land on 3 stars for this one. Books 1 and 2 were solid 4 star reads for me, and while my experience reading book 3 felt like a 4-star moment....mainly because I was in that UNWELL STATUS and absolutely NEEDED to know what was happening....it didn’t quite hold up in the end. You know those "drop everything and read" moments? That was ME! Her writing is great and addictive - but looking at the book itself, it felt a little all over the place. The last 30% especially got kind of random and, at times, just plain ridiculous. I questioned some events going on that made me like...WAITTTT WHAT? HA! That said, I still had a blast with this series. It is definitely one that will stay close to my heart because I adored Kai and Paedyn so much. Love their romance and banter - it's what has made the trilogy for me honestly. Kai really ...
