Can’t Fight It, an all-new friends to lovers college romance from Allie Winters, is now available in Kindle Unlimited! Mousy bookworm. Psychology nerd. The kind of girl who constantly sticks her foot in her mouth. The last thing I am is the type to attract the intimidating, motorcycle-riding guy in the apartment next door. Especially when that mouth of mine gets me in trouble and he overhears me talk smack about him… So no one’s more surprised than me when he shows up as a participant in the psych study I’m running on campus. Or when he generously offers me some much-needed self-defense lessons. Or when we grow closer than I thought possible. It turns out some people aren’t at all what they seem at first glance. They can actually be everything you never knew you wanted in a man. The thing is, Austin Langford is so far out of my league, it’s laughable. Muscled boxers don’t go for nobodies like me. I need to forget about this one-sided attraction. Even when i...

***5 Stars*** This was a fun, sweet, smexy and at times frustrating small town, opposites attract romance. The characters were all well written and I really didn’t want to say good-bye when there were no more words to read. Owen and Harper. I gotta say, I loved Owen. He’s a bit of a recluse and definitely doesn’t like anyone nosing about in his business, but the man has a heart of gold. Harper is feisty. She speaks her mind, is open to trying new things and is driven and has that “thing” about her that draws people to her in any situation.  Their journey is definitely a unique one and I will readily admit to saying “Seriously?!?” when it came to the whole Vegas marriage/annulment situation, because on one side of the situation, I totally got it, the other side…ehhh…it took a minute to realize that yes, that could happen. But once I moved past that issue, I really loved watching Owen and Harper fall for each other. They are opposite in so many ways, but they fit. They had chemistry ...

Not Fooling Anyone, an all-new fake relationship college romance from Allie Winters, is available now in Kindle Unlimited!  The deal is simple—pretend to be Ethan’s girlfriend for a psych study and we each get a nice payday. Despite him being a dumb jock who willingly gets punched for fun at my dad’s boxing gym, I can handle it. I’ve mastered the art of keeping others at a distance. Especially after… Well, never mind that. Except, I didn’t count on him not understanding the definition of boundaries. Suddenly, we’re having to fake being in love all over campus to keep up the ruse. And when he tries to slip under the barriers I’ve worked so hard to create? Yeah, that’s not happening. Even if it turns out he’s surprisingly understanding… and funny… and charming… and smarter than I ever would have given him credit for. Not to mention that muscled body from all that boxing… No, that’s irrelevant. I may have misjudged him, but that doesn’t mean I’m interested. He has...

***4 Stars*** I figured this book would take me on a ride after reading the blurb, but I wasn’t expecting all that went down within the first few chapters. I mean, talk about some “WTF?!?” things getting thrown right away. So, I buckled up and I gotta say that I really enjoyed watching as Conner and Emma stumbled their way to their HEA, even if it did give me a bit of anxiety and the need to grab a 2x4 and connect it with a certain character's head. Connor and Emma. I gotta say, from the start, I truly felt bad for both of them and the situations they are shoved into. But, I really liked their determination to make things work because they are truly good people down to their very DNA ~ despite their parentage. Now, in Emma’s situation, her making things “work” aren’t necessarily on the up and up, but she has good reasons for it and I really liked how she found herself through it all. As for their journey to their HEA. It was awkward, sweet, smexy and despite all that was hanging ov...
