Blurb: Have you heard the rumor around campus about the locker room?

If you haven't, let me enlighten you: Legend has it if you bring a girl into the sacred after-game domain of the baseball locker room, it will end with a walk down the aisle. One rowdy and naked encounter against the lockers with the girl of your dreams will make her your wife.

Translation: baseball players are stupidly superstitious and believe the locker room has magical powers.

But not all baseball players are superstitious, me included.

So when the girl I've fallen for brushes me off, I start to question if I need to switch my way of thinking. Maybe it's time I finally hand out a coveted invitation to the locker room.

The only question is, will she accept?

Rating - 💜💜💜💜💜++

Gahh! I love this book SO MUCH! College romances are one of my favourite things to read, and this one is one of the best books, and college romances I have ever had the pleasure of reading. This is easily my most favourite Meghan Quinn novel to date. Meghan Quinn's words just jumped off that page and captivated me right from the start. I was in stitches laughing. It wasn't just a giggle, it was snort out loud laughing and I loved every minute of it.

Emory has been hurt in the past, so this makes her more withdrawn when it comes to our fabulous hero. I did love Emory's character. Even though she was hurt, she is a strong young woman.
Knox... ohhh Knox. This hero is one to keep in the Book boyfriend vault. He is just amazing!! He is a joker, which I love, but he also has such a serious and passionate side. I fell in love with him... HARD!!! He made me swoon so much through this book, that's for sure.

I highly recommend this rom-com to absolutely EVERYONE, because it is EVERYTHING!!!! If I could I would give this book at least 100 stars. I really hope there is more stories from the Locker Room world because I really want to head on back to the Locker Room. I will definitely be reading this book again.

This is my voluntary arc review

 

 

Excerpt: This map is useless.

Easy to read, my ass. I need a magnifying glass to make out any of the color-coded buildings on this thing and unfortunately, I left my magnifying glass in my other skirt. That was sarcasm, if you didn’t catch it.

Standing next to a wonky-looking tree, I try to act as casual as possible—hip popped out, interested glances, the usual—as I hide a school map beneath the pages of Pride and Prejudice , while off-handedly looking for the MacMillan building. But the wind—though subtle—isn’t making things easy.

Recently transferred from Cal State, Fullerton, I’m attempting to avoid making a fool of myself on the first day of fall classes at my new school, Brentwood University.

Unfortunately, I’m way out of my element.

For one, I know nothing about this school other than they have the best library sciences program in the country. Making the transfer a no-brainer for me the minute I realized I wanted to be a librarian. I dabbled in business at Cal State, but who was I kidding? I had no right trying to figure out micro-and macroeconomics.

A California girl through and through, Illinois is nothing like the palm trees and beaches I’ve grown up with. Don’t get me wrong, there are trees here, huge, plush, green trees everywhere, the kind of trees Bob Ross made dance on his canvas. But the smog . . . I have no idea where that is. Breathing fresh air almost feels wrong. And apparently pizza is a big deal here. I’ve heard at least three separate arguments since I’ve moved about which pizza in town is best. Let’s all be friends and be grateful there is good pizza here.

And even though this is a “small” school town outside Chicago, it’s larger than life with boisterous personalities and ivy-covered buildings that cause me to believe I’m walking on the hallowed grounds where the prosperous were educated.

Plus, I had to buy leggings for all my skirts, because the temperature doesn’t call for bare legs out here.

The wind picks up again, lifting my skirt and map at the same time. Not wanting to be known as the resident flasher on campus, I save the skirt—because even though I have leggings, I chose not to wear them today—and tamp it back down on my legs as the map lifts from my book, floats into the air, twirling and swirling only to smack a passing guy right in the face.

Whap .

“What the—?” He startles and I jump into action.

“I’m so sorry,” I say, scrambling to hold my skirt down while clutching my parted book at my chest.

The map is slowly peeled away and a pair of beautiful light blue eyes peek past the paper first, followed by the sharpest jawline I’ve ever seen, defined and tense. Light scruff matches his dirty-blond hair that is swept to the left and cut short on the sides. Dressed in a green Brentwood baseball sweatshirt and wearing a jaw-dropping smile, he chuckles and hands me the map while eyeing me up and down.

Why is he so familiar?

Those eyes.

“Not a problem, but you could have asked for help if you were lost. Slapping me with a map is an aggressive tactic, effective, but aggressive.”

That voice, that smirk. I know it from somewhere.

Feeling a light blush creep up my cheeks, I say, “Not used to the wind.”

He nods and thumbs behind him. “Lake Michigan. It’s a bitch in the winter.” He studies me for a second and then nods at my map. “Where you headed? I can help.” There is the smallest southern drawl in his voice, nothing strong, but enough to tell me he’s not from Illinois.

I know that voice. I remember specifically thinking it was hot.

Tamping down my map and folding it in my book that I snap shut quickly, I say, “I promised I’d figure this all out on my own, but looks like I might need a little help after all.”

“Don’t blame yourself; this campus is a maze with no rhyme or reason. I was lost my entire first semester. Can’t tell you how many times I was late to class.”

“That’s reassuring.”

He tilts his head to the side and gives me a small once-over. “I know you.” I don’t say anything and just as his eyes land on my chest, a smile creeps over his face, a light bulb lighting in his head. “You’re the girl who helped me find my room on Saturday.”

Oh.

Shit.

It’s the yellow-door baseball guy.

He leans forward, hands stuffed in his pockets and says, “I never forget a good pair of tits.”

As if I wasn’t blushing enough already.

REVIEW - Devilry by Marley Valentine

Title: Devilry

Series: King's University Series

Author: Marley Valentine

Genre: MM Romance

Release Date: June 21, 2019

Earning a full scholarship to King University was my hard earned ticket out of hell. I'm happy to be away from the small town I grew up in and all the equally small minded people who live there.

King was going to be my safe haven. A place where I could leave the old me behind and finally grow into the young man my family had desperately tried to hide away. 

Diving head first into new experiences, new friends, and parties, I didn’t expect to run straight into the one thing I wasn’t ready for. 

His arms are welcoming, his body is addictive and his lips are heaven. Cole Huxley is everything I could fall in love with, except for one problem... I never wanted to fall for my professor.

RATING - 💜💜💜💜💜+

AH-MAY-ZING!!!! This book is so amazing!!! I am captivated and enthralled by all things Cole and Elijah!!! I could not put this book down once I started. M/M romances are one of my favourite genre's to read, and to top it off this is a forbidden romance which is also a favourite of mine. This book would have to be one of the best books I have ever read in the M/M genre. I could not get enough.

Cole and Elijah were HOT! I am talking smoking hot. Their connection was electric and you could feel it right from their first meeting. I loved how the characters were drawn to each other, I love how their story played out. Even though there were hot parts of the story, the story also had a lot of soul. It was heartwarming and beautiful.

I was so sad when the book ended. I never wanted to let them go! This series is definitely one for my keeper shelf and I will be making sure they are sitting beautifully on my bookshelves. I can not wait to see if Callie or Aiden get a story, I have so many questions for them. If you are a lover of M/M romance you DO NOT want to miss this amazing book.

RELEASE AND REVIEW - Letters To Molly by Devney Perry

Molly Alcott didn’t expect to open her mailbox one summer morning and find an old letter stuffed between bills and a supermarket flyer. Penned in familiar handwriting, dated over fifteen years ago, the letter was written to Molly after her first date with the man she’ll never forget.

Week after week, new letters appear. Each marks an event in the history of their epic love affair. Each heals a wound. Each holds the confession of the man who still owns Molly’s heart.

The letters are full of promise, hope and love, but truth be told, Molly wishes she could unread them all.

Because the man who wrote these letters is not the one sending them.

I absolutely LOVED this book! Since reading The Birthday List I had wondered what had really happened to Finn and Molly. I am so happy they got to tell their story. Both of these characters grabbed hold of my heart and didn’t let go, I felt everything for both of them.

This book is about healing, communication, forgiveness, and being open to on another. These characters had a lot of healing to do and to watch them as they went through their journey was a beautiful thing.

I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down, it’s definitely one of my top reads this year. I am just in awe of this authors writing. Each book I pick up captivates me and I have loved every book I have read. I can not wait for what is to come by this author!

The Man I Need (Ward Duet, 2) by Shanora Williams

Release Date: June 13, 2019

Goodreads

Amazon: https://amzn.to/2LEFzcZ

Blurb:

There are things that women want, and things that women need.

I know deep down, with every fiber in my body, that I need Mr. Ward.

He started out as my landscape designer, but became so much more.

Now, my life is on the line while living with the devil himself. I have been torn down and broken, and I don’t think I can take anymore.

The man I need was never the one I married.

No, the man I need is the one I was never supposed to have. He’s the one who showed me gentleness, kindness, and true love.

Ward would put up a fight for me at any cost.

I know for a fact, I could be so much happier with him…

But when I come face-to-face with reality, I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to risk it all for someone I’ve just met, even if it seems like Mr. Ward and I are a match made in heaven.

*This is the second, and final book in the Ward Duet. You must read The Man I Can't Have before reading The Man I Need.

RATING - 💜💜💜💜

The Man I Need is part 2 of the series between Marcel and Gabby. We were left hanging in the first installment and I was waiting with bated breath for the second part of the series to come out. I was so happy when I was finally able to read it. I could not put it down at all.

I love Marcel for what he did to help Gabby. I don't want to give too much away so I will be vague with that and let you form your own opinions as you read the duet. Although this book was fantastic I did feel like something was missing. For the kind of man Kyle is, I expected more to happen, I expected a HUGE blow out. Other than that I really enjoyed the conclusion to this duet. I can't wait to see what else this author has in store for us.

This is my voluntary arc review.
