Reality is Cutting Into My Reading Time 😄


Even when life gets busy, I'm thankful to have a love for reading to help take stresses away. Here are some great Contemporary Romance titles to check out. These selections are for adults only. 📖 

Underneath It All by Kate Canterbary:  I feel the need to express a warning on this one: For adults only!!!  It's the story of the courtship of Lauren and Matthew. But with the story is a very descriptive expression of their passion for one another. And it’s hot! But what I appreciate more than anything are the feelings: Matthew is a great lead character.  He is focused on his career as an architect and the drama with his family, but he falls for Lauren hard. And he doesn’t hold back how he feels.  Lauren has strong feelings for Matthew also but is more inclined to stay in denial.  She doesn’t see that there could be a balance between focusing on her career (starting/building a school) and her growing feelings for Matthew.  She pulls away many times and it was frustrating as a reader.  But I loved it too.  If you enjoy literary romance with highs and lows, I highly recommend this one.





Beautiful Oblivion by Addison Moore: Another warning on this one: steamy scenes ahead. Adults only! This is a story of young love. Reese and Ace have known each other since they were kids and have always carried a torch for one another.  They forge a strong friendship with each other believing that the other one just wants to remain friends.  One particular summer, they may a pact to have a summer fling—but promise to never let go of their friendship.  But Reese has familial commitments she feels trapped with, and feels she needs to let them go in order to be truly happy.  And Ace, well, he just loves her.  Lots of feels in this story…and it’s a roller coaster!!





Unwreck Me by Kate Dawes: Kate had a lot of life plans in place when life decided to derail them.  Her ex-boyfriend betrays her trust in one of the worst ways possible. Kate puts up a wall around herself which can be visible only to those looking very closely.  Namely Drew, who has personal issues all his own, but finds a deep attraction & connection to Kate which of course, she feels as well.  They become close rather quickly and as in life, things must move forward, change & decisions have to be made. But first, let’s add a little more life-twists just for good measure.  This one was a mellow read for me, but I definitely felt some feminist emotions.  Check it out.  

The inspiration for the title of this post, this sweatshirt completely fits into the life of a busy person who would just like to read & get away from it all. Funny yet true. 😊
Losing & finding....
 
And stories....Yes, I do!
Thankful for all creative authors & writers! XO
