When bad weather closes the airport, free-spirited Jules Bloom finds herself stuck with the admittedly hot but total suit Dexter Elliott. One night and one large pitcher of “Vegas Sunrise” later, Jules wakes up in a hotel bed with a vicious hangover…wearing nothing but a wedding ring.

Determined not to ruin his brother's wedding, Dexter strikes a deal with the frustratingly gorgeous Jules to continue their quickie marriage through the weekend. Only she keeps getting under his skin in unexpected ways.

Jules has her own reasons for staying married to Dex but they seem less important with each exaggerated touch and staged kiss. But one marriage, one major secret, and two complete opposites don’t add up to a happily ever after…

My Review:

Wife for the Weekend was such sweet and hilarious book to read. Having read London's previous works before, I was excited to read yet another story by her.

In this particular story we get to meet Jules Bloom, a free-spirited artist whose friend/ex is about to get married and as his friend she has accepted the invitation to go to his wedding. But on the way there, her flight gets canceled and she accidentally bumps into the groom's brother, Dexter Elliott. As the two wait at the airport, they headed to the bar, and after a couple laughs and drinks they both end up getting a little too close. The next day, Jules wakes up wearing nothing but a wedding ring on her friend. Now she has to figure out what she is going to do before anyone finds out that she is already married to Dexter.

With his brother's wedding coming up, Dexter just wants to have a good time and be with his family. But nothing could have prepared him when he discovered right after seeing Jules at the airport. Now she is his wife and without knowing what to do before the wedding, he strikes a deal with Jules to continue their marriage through the weekend. Yet, everything seems to be going a little differently than he originally thought, because his family happens to like Jules, and they are thrilled to have her as part of the family. Now he has to find a way to get a quiet divorce before anyone's feelings get hurt.

I really like the cover of the book, it has the playful vibe of the story. The characters, especially Jules is fun and smart. She knows what she wants and is determined to keep fighting for her dreams. Whereas Dexter is a bit more serious, yet protective over Jules. Their relationship slowly grows as the story progressed, but as secrets start to come out they both have to find a way to protect the ones that they love. As both of the characters start to spend more time together, the more they start to realize that they might just be perfect for each other. Overall, if you are looking for a romantic book filled with sweet and funny scenes than I highly recommend reading this book, it will not disappoint. : )

My Review:

Aside from loving the cover, the book is definitely a must-read! 

Not having read any other books by Ophelia London before, I was impressed with the story line of this book, and the well-thought out characters. In Aimee and the Heartthrob, Ophelia London explores the possibilities of a girl's dream coming true when her childhood friend/crush finally notices her after been apart for years. 

Aimee Bingham is a self proclaimed fan of S2J (Seconds to Juliet), although she had to pretty much hide her fanthom after having her heart crushed by Miles Carlisle when they were kids. Now after not been in contact with Miles, it's her summer break, and to her surprise her parents have have decided to send her on tour with Mile's band. Not only will she be in close proximity of Miles, but she is also going to be accompanied by her older brother, Nick (Mile's best friend). Amiee has made a promise to herself that she is going to forget Miles, and move on. But the minute he starts to show interest in her, Aimme can no longer deny the feelings that she has for him anymore, and that's when their story truly begins. 

Miles Carlisle wasn't always called a heartthrob, or imagined he would be famous one day. Nope, his old life was anything but perfect. After his father left him and his mom, Miles' life turned upside down. Moving to the U.S. seemed like a good idea when he was young, but he didn't imagined that his life was about to change forever after forming his now super famous boy band, Seconds to Juliet. But everyone holds secrets, and Miles' past isn't as pretty as anyone would have thought. Now he is determined to give it his everything to the band's summer tour, but that soon changes after seeing his old friend, Aimee, and soon he discovers that his number one fan and love was in front of him even before he became a heartthrob in front of the world. 

I absolutely loved this book, it was a light read that I couldn't put down. Miles is by far one of my all time favorite male characters, he is charming, and he just knows what to say to girl to make her blush! I love the chemistry that he had with Aimee, and how easy their friendship turned into something more. It was pretty obvious that they both had crushes on each other for a while, but since Miles is touring the world with his band, it was hard for them to develop an actual relationship. Nick is an overprotective brother, and also Miles' best friend. He is the only one that knows Miles' past, and he is aware of Miles' status as a heartthrob, so he lets Miles know that his sister is off-limits. Which makes things harder for both Miles and Aimee to be in actual relationship. On the other hand, Aimee is a free spirit, who loves to read and write reviews on just about anything on her blog. That's one of the things that I liked about her, she is a girl that anyone can relate to. The story starts off with Aimee learning about her summer plans, then as she and Miles start to grow closer things slowly start to fall apart for the two of them. The conflict revolves around a misunderstanding that didn't quite made a huge impact in the characters' lives or personalities. That's what I didn't like as much of the story, although I loved the overall romance in the book, the conflict was small and solved too quickly. But the very end was one of my favorite scenes, it fit really well with the story, and I enjoyed it. Overall, the writing was on point in the book, from the characters to the story line, everything really worked out. I highly recommend the book, I will certainly be reading more of Ophelia London in the future. :)

Release Date: April 14th 2014 by Entangled: Crush

Can the write guy be the right guy?

Dakota McCloud has just been accepted into a prestigious art school. Soon she'll leave behind the artists' colony where she grew up―hippie dad, tofu since birth, yurt―and join her boyfriend and best friend on the East Coast. It was the plan…until Dakota finds out her boyfriend and best friend hooked up behind her back. 

Hurt and viciously betrayed, Dakota pours out her heart on a piece of paper, places it in a bottle, and hurls it into the ocean. But it doesn't quite go where she expects…

Jack Sauvage finds the bottle washed up on the shore and responds to Dakota's letter. Except what if his straight-laced life doesn’t jive with the free-spirited girl he’s only seen from afar? As Jack creates a persona he believes she’ll love, they slowly fall for each other with each new letter.

Center Ice by Cate Cameron

Release Date: April 14th 2015 by Entangled Crush

The hometown hockey hero won't know what hit him…

Karen Webber is in small-town hell. After her mother's death, she moved to Corrigan Falls to live with strangers—her dad and his perfect, shiny new family—and there doesn't seem to be room for a city girl with a chip on her shoulder. The only person who makes her feel like a real human being is Tyler MacDonald.

But Karen isn’t interested in starting something with a player. And that’s all she keeps hearing about Tyler.

Corrigan Falls is a hockey town, and Tyler's the star player. But the viselike pressure from his father and his agent are sending him dangerously close to the edge. All people see is hockey—except Karen. Now they've managed to find something in each other that they both desperately need. And for the first time, Tyler is playing for keeps…

Mia and the Bad Boy by Lisa Burstein

Release Date: April 14th 2015 by Entangled: Crush

This good girl’s about to meet her match…

Ryder Brooks is living the dream—he’s famous, loved by millions of girls, and miserable. All he really wants is to write his own music, not Seconds to Juliet’s sugary sweet pop. In order to do that, though, the “bad boy” of the band will have to play by the rules. And that includes behaving with his new—and super cute—über-good-girl tutor.

Mia Reyes is in fangirl heaven. Tutoring her favorite member of her favorite band? It’s a dream come true…until it turns into a complete nightmare. Ryder is nothing like she thought. He’s crude, arrogant, and pretty much a total jerk. And the worst part? She’s roped into pretending to be his girlfriend so that no one finds out he’s being tutored. Fake kisses, plenty of PDA, and even sharing his hotel room…

But sometimes even the baddest of bad boys needs a little redemption.
