1. 

P.S. It's Always Been You by Lauren Blakely

Lauren Blakely always makes it to my lists, her books are filled with great storylines and this book in particular had me intrigued from the very start. It has everything, from romance to solving a mystery that turns out to be a great adventure for the main characters. It was a fun read that I would highly recommend.💖🌎

2.

The Breaking Season by K.A. Linde

I loved K.A. Linde's Cruel Series last year and I couldn't wait to read this year's Seasons Series. The Breaking Season is the perfect marriage of convenience story between two Upper East Side villains, Katherine and Camden (characters that we are introduced to in the Cruel Series). It's steamy, romantic and it has a great ending! 🔥😍

Royally Screwed by Emma Chase

I've been meaning to read this book for a while and didn't disappoint at all. Great royal romance with a great twist in the end. 👑😍

5.

The Ruthless Knight by Jeana E. Mann

This was a much darker story, full of suspense, mystery and lots of secrets. It definitely has some very interesting moments between the characters as they face the Columbia cartel and they have to rely on each other to make it out alive. It's a rollercoaster of emotions from beginning to end. Would highly recommend checking it out! 🔥

7.

My Brother's Roommate by Kendall Ryan

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Kendall Ryan, her stories are always sweet and full of emotions. Everyone is going to fall in love with Wolfie, he is a kind and totally swoon worthy!

8.

Van by Melanie Moreland

I couldn't decide between Van or Sandy to add to my list, so I have added both for different reasons. Van completely stole my heart, he has so much love to give and out of all the books that I've read this year, he is the best hero/male protagonist by far. I would highly recommend checking out the Vested Interest Series, you are not going to regret it! 💞

9.

Mafia Casanova by M. Robinson and Rachel Van Dyken

I love a good mafia romance and Mafia Casanova was favorite this year! It had me hooked from the very start, the characters are magnetic and have an undeniable chemistry to have you reading until the very end.

10.

Sandy by Melanie Moreland

This book surprised me in the best way possible, it was emotional and heartwarming. I can't say how many time I might have cried while reading, it was such perfect. You do need to read the rest of the Vested Interest Series to get a full grasp of Sandy's story and how she got to where she is. But you are going to love it, this book concludes the whole series and it does perfectly. I wouldn't change anything about it and the ending was everything. A must read! 😍

🔖 REVIEW BLITZ 🔖 The Honest Affair by Nicole French

The Honest Affair by Nicole French 

Release Date: October 21, 2020 by Raglan Publishing

Series: Rose Gold #3

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Prosecutor. Marine. Brother.
I thought I knew the man I was.
But in one moment, I found my real purpose: saving Nina de Vries.

On the outside, she seemed the perfect, icy aristocrat.
But I knew different.
Trapped by her monstrous husband and fear of her powerful family, Nina was begging to be saved.
And I was the only one who could do it.

Instead I broke her heart, and now I’ll stop at nothing to put it back together.
Because when fate introduces you the love of your life, you don’t walk away.
You fight for your chance, even if it means dragging the world down with you.

Nina and I were written in the stars.
That’s not even a question.
But will fate let us take our happy ending?
Or is our future one we’ll have to steal?

The Honest Affair is the epic conclusion of the Rose Gold Trilogy, a steamy, forbidden billionaire romance.

My Review:

Nicole French delivers the perfect conclusion to her epic Rose Gold series. Full of twists and turns, to keep you reading until the very end.

In The Perfect Woman, the previous book in the series we left off on such a cliffhanger by finding out a shocking twist at the end. Now in The Honest Affair, Nina de Vries and Matthew Zola face new challenges as they so desperately try to get their own happily-ever-after. Their love will be put on the line along with their trust for each other. But when Nina gets the chance to finally put her past behind her, they discover even more secrets that could end up threatening the very same future they’ve been fighting to get.

I absolutely loved reading The Honest Affair, the way the story was set up was great and so were the characters. We finally get to see Nina grow as a person and take back her life. She was always in the shadows when it came to being with her family, since her cousin Eric always got the attention for being the heir to their massive family empire. But in the story, we see her make tough decisions and not care what others have to say. She is ready to protect her daughter at all costs and having Matthew with her made her even stronger. We also see Matthew evolve and envision a new life for him and Nina. We also get to find out more about Matthew’s family and cameos from Eric and Jane (from the Quicksilver series) as well as Brandon and Skylar (from the Spitfire series). This was such a great ending to this amazing series, it was gripping, swoon worthy and steamy. Although the story was filled with twists, the ending had a massive twist that I did not see coming at all. I would highly recommend checking out this series, you will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to read what the author comes up with next! :)
