Right Kiss Wrong Guy

















Right Kiss Wrong Guy (Offsides #2) by Natalie Decker
Publication Date: January 23, 2018
Publisher: Swoon Romance


You'd think a girl with the most romantic name in the world would have her pick of boyfriends.

But Valentine's Day sucks when you're single. Just ask Juliet Valentine, whose last name happens to also be the name of the most dreaded made-up holiday ever.

A romantic at heart, this year is especially hard on Juliet. Her sister, Layla, is in a new relationship, her mom's match-making business is doing great, and her school's new fundraiser is "Love-Grams."

Juliet's miserable, a little jealous, and lonely.

Quarterback Jared Black is the most popular guy in school. A star athlete, Jared tops the most-eligible bachelor list year after year. But to Juliet Valentine, he's all but invisible. She isn't impressed.

Jared's never had to work hard to get the attention of a girl before. Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and he's determined to ask Juliet out. After all, if Tyler can win over Layla, Jared ought to have a shot with Layla's sister.

Unlike Tyler and Layla, charm, flattery and good looks won't work on Juliet. So with the V-Day dance coming up, Jared uses the school’s Love-Grams to let Juliet know how he feels. Should be simple enough, right?

Wrong. Each attempt ends up either in the trash or thrown in someone's face. Juliet won't play his game.

Now, without a date to the dance Jared realizes it’s going to take a Hail Mary to win the girl of his dreams.


My Review 

I definitely give this book 5 stars. I was hooked from the first page until the last. I couldn't put it down. It made me laugh, cry, smile, and sometimes scream at some of the characters. I was so invested in the story, I felt I was right there in the book.

The story itself is fun and definitely swoon worthy. It leaves you smiling and falling in love with love.  

Jared and Juliet have firework worthy chemistry. The dynamic between these two is on point. She is sassy and bitter and he is an all around sweet guy. They balance each other out perfectly. This also makes for huge sparks in the chemistry department. 
I love the other characters in this book as well. 

This series has been so fun to read. I don't want it to end.

I definitely recommend this to all those that love a great swoon worthy story, with fun characters. I warn you though this book may keep you up at night, because once you start you won't be able to stop! Check the whole series out, you won't be sorry.

A Story full of Love, Laughter & Fun!!!



Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity by Rachael Anderson



I loved, loved, loved, this book! This whole series has been so fun to read. From the moment I picked up this book I couldn’t put it down. I got quickly entranced into the story. It had me completely hooked from the very first page until the last.

The story was fun and kept me laughing, smiling, engaged, and had so many ahhhh moments. The best part is it's a clean romance so I never have to worry about reading something I don’t want to. I instantly got caught up in the budding romance of the two characters. One of my favorite story lines is when the characters have instant chemistry, but they are too afraid to admit it. I love that dynamic in a book, because you can really feel the chemistry of the two characters. You can feel everything in this book the characters go through, and really relate to them at times. You're happy when they're happy, you cry when they cry, and you feel all the other emotions. This is such a fun and lighthearted story it is the perfect book to escape the craziness of life. Once you start you won't want to stop so make sure you can stay up late when you start this book!


I always love series books, because you already know most of the characters, so it’s like visiting old friends. The characters in this book are so fun and full of life and love. Sam is a fun spirited, adventurous, sassy, and loving girl. Colton is a caring, hardworking, good looking cowboy. He is the kind of guy that makes girls weak in the knees. Together these two have an undeniable chemistry that makes you fall in love with love. Their love story brings amazing fireworks. I love how they want the best for each other and make each other better. These two really bring out the best in each other and compliment each other very well. That is what true deep love is all about.


I definitely recommend this book to all those hopeless romantics out there, you won't be sorry. This book will leave you smiling and not wanting the story to end. Check out all of Rachael's books, they are so fun and leave you feeling so happy. The stories she writes are full of romance and laughter, yet clean so it 's very refreshing. I could read them over and over.
Happy reading and don't forget to check out all her other books!

Another Book to Fall in love with!!






One of my favorite kinds of books is one that you get transported in as soon as you start reading; this is definitely one of those. From the minute I started reading until the very last page I was hooked. I couldn't nor did I want to put it down. The sweet romance developed right before my eyes, and left me grinning ear to ear. I mean what more do you want a swoon worthy guy and a sassy woman, and when they are together lots of fireworks are created!!

I love this story and the plot. It is seriously such a sweet romance with a lot of moments that make you go ahhhh. It makes me really hungry as well. I wish there was a bakery like the one in this book and the Iron skillet where I lived. This is just a fun clean romance that will have you swooning for love!

I love these characters in all of these series. When you read the books they become so familiar to you, they are like family! I like how each book just brings more and more depth to them.

Meredith is a fun, sassy, hopeless romantic and scared of love. Asher is a confident, flirty, tall, dark and handsome type, which has also been burned a time or two. When together these two have an undeniable flirty chemistry that is off the charts, and sparks seem to fly. I love the friendship these two have and how through it all these two are always there for each other no matter what. They make each other better, and bring out the best in each other. They have the sweetest romance blooming that had me once again falling in love with love!

It's also nice to get a sneak peak of what has been going on with the other characters. I have really grown to love them all. At times I find myself laughing, crying, wanting to punch them, smiling, and screaming at them. That to me makes a great book, when you can picture yourself in it!

I can't wait to read the rest of the series and see how this dating business does! I just love these characters and books! I would recommend reading this book and all of her other series if you haven't yet. They are fun great reads, which will leave you wanting more!

This is  my third book that I have read of Rebecca Jamison's and I loved it! I love the LDS twist on the retelling of classic Jane Austin books!
 
This book was fun, witty, romantic, and very heart warming! I definitely had a hard time putting it down!
I always love it when a book catches my attention from the first page to the last, this book definitely accomplished this!
 
The characters were fun, and very real. You almost felt like you could feel every emotion the character was going through! I love that aspect in the books I read, It makes me feel like I am apart of the story. The sister connection was so beautiful, it reminded me of the relationships I have with my own sisters!
 
I  love how this book is a clean romance, and it left me feeling happy! Books like that are worth reading more then once, which I plan to read this many more times!

    I was so excited when this book came out!! I had been anticipating Kam's story for awhile, and boy was it worth the wait!! I honestly couldn't put this book down, especially at work! Breaks and lunch couldn't come fast enough. I loved this story from beginning to end, and it left me excited for the Taryn's story!! Shannon didn't disappoint yet again!!
This story is about giving love a chance, and not giving up just because it gets hard! It's also about not letting your past keep a hold of you! It's fun and witty and will have you laughing throughout the book!
You will fall in love with Kam in the way that he cares and loves all those around him! Bailey is such a fun sassy character that at times she makes you smile or shake your head at the same time. I love watching her character evolve in the book, and see the woman she becomes! This story truly makes you fall in love with being in love!
The story had me smiling, laughing, and when it was over a little sad. I am so glad there is another book to follow! I highly recommend this story and other ones by Shannon, they are truly worth the read!! Can't wait for the next ones!!

When I started to read this book, I didn't want to put it down! I absolutely loved it!! The story from the first page to the last had me hooked! I actually found myself sad when it ended!

The characters in the book are my favorite! I was so happy that she brought the characters from the other books into this one, it is almost like a fun reunion of friends catching up! I was introduced to Taryn and Brogan in the first book, and I got to tell you I couldn't wait for their story!

Their story was full of twists, turns, and lots of love! You definitely fall in love with love in this one!!

Taryn and Brogan have that amazing chemistry that just makes you fall in love with them as a couple! It was amazing to see the characters grow, and see what everyone else around them saw. I found myself laughing, crying, smiling, and ahhhing throughout this book!
