MY THOUGHTS:

I have missed reading the Billionaire Bride pact books. I’m not sure why I took so long to get this one to the top of my list but I loved it so much! Lindsey and Eric are perfect for each other and I loved their story. I hope we get another glimpse of them in the last book because I didn’t want this one to end. Another amazing book to add to this series. They really all are amazing!

Narcissistic Tendencies (Dating by Design Book 3) by: Jennifer Peel

ABOUT THE BOOK:
"*Warning* Clear all plans before you start this book, because I promise you will NOT want to put it down until the last page has been read!" - Kathy Jo from KJ's Book Nook ★★★★★

"Waiting for that first kiss was sweet torture but was it worth it? Yumma yes! Nick makes fanning yourself a necessity." - Aimee from Getting Your Read On ★★★★★

He wants her future. She can't forget her past.

Psychologist Kate Morgan loves her job evaluating clients for the matchmaking service Binary Search. That is, until the one and only Nicholas Wells becomes a client and the new face of the company. Now Kate must take on a new role as his relationship manager to "fix" the actor-turned-writer-and-producer--not to mention egotistical, possibly narcissistic celebrity--and save Binary Search's reputation.

Once upon a time this would have been a dream come true, but older, wiser, and live-within-her-rules Kate knows more than she would like to about narcissists. Annulment is an ugly word and one she can't or won't forget. But is Nick the man he says he is on paper or is he the man she sees before her eyes? An adoring father with a generous heart who's willing to smooth out some of his rough edges for the right woman, making her think who's fixing who?

Can this Hollywood playboy and reluctant matchmaker make the ultimate connection?

MY THOUGHTS:
I loved Nick and Kate’s story. I loved that things weren’t easy for them even though she was a trained psychologist. We all want a night and shinning armor to sweep us off our feet, to court and love us. A celebrity that is full of himself is not someone you would ever expect to try and fit that bill. I love books that stick to real life and don’t make everything feel like sunshine and rainbows. Books from this Author are always amazing! Can’t wait for more from her!

Kings Crossed Lovers, Safe Harbors #4 by Donna K Weaver

ABOUT THE BOOK:
A Novella

Ethan Walters has no time for distractions like romance. Not if he's going to have the brilliant medical career he's always dreamed of. But when he's given a trip to a theme park resort as a college graduation present, he can't exactly say no. Even if Samantha—the one girl with the power to dismantle his goals—is tagging along.

Samantha Diederik has managed to avoid her high society mother’s manipulations since the woman moved to Europe. Now she’s back and pressuring Sam to move to New York with her. With that battle on the horizon, Sam proceeds to go on vacation with her brother and his roommate. She’s crushed on Ethan for years. They've only met online, but their hours-long conversations are the highlight of her week. Now she has a chance to find out if the cyber magic she's felt with him will translate to real life.

And wow, does it ever—with sparks flying! Now all she has to do is find a way to fight off her mother's machinations while convincing Ethan she won’t destroy his dreams.

MY THOUGHTS:
This was such a fun story. Sam and Ethan net and became friends through her brother. They were both huge fantasy book fans. This books had a twist of the Harry Potter story. I have never been a big fan of it myself but this book was super cute. My favorite like was....”The world is full of toxic people, and they can suck the joy right out of you—if you let them. So, don’t let them.” Something we all need to live by to be happy. Great addition to this sets of resort romances
