Title: Boom
Author: Sabrina Stark
Genre: Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy
Release Date: June 25, 2020
Blurb
New from a USA Today Bestseller: One crumbling house. One exploded truck. And two people who think they can't stand each other.

Arden Weathers. She's a girl on a mission, and that mission most certainly doesn't involve Brody Blastoviak, the hometown hottie who made her college prospects go boom, and not in a good way, six years ago.

Brody Blastoviak. He knows better than to stick his you-know-what into Crazy. So why is he losing his cookies over Arden Weathers, the uptight chemistry partner who "accidentally" torched his truck back in high school?

Now, older and wiser, these former classmates are supposedly on the same team – working to restore a crumbling beach house that both of them want to claim as their own. Too bad for Arden, Brody holds not just the deed, but all of the cards and clout, too.

She's a broke college graduate while Brody is not only hotter than ever, but obnoxiously rich and famous, thanks to Blast Tools, a rags-to-riches brotherly venture. It's all so stupidly unfair, especially when Arden makes an appalling discovery. Turns out, she's not nearly as immune to Brody's charms as she thought.

And Brody? Let's just say, this tool-toting billionaire is reluctantly learning that the girl of his nightmares just might be the girl of his dreams.

***This enemies-to-lovers new adult romance is a fun, full-length standalone billionaire romantic comedy with a guaranteed happily-ever-after!***

MY REVIEW
When Arden accidentally breaks into her high school arch nemesis' home and takes a shower, it gives these two enemies a good chance to get to know each other in ways they never bothered to in high school, and they find they were both laboring under a lot of misconceptions back then. And more significantly, they find that their antagonism was masking a serious attraction. Can they indulge in that attraction and keep their hearts intact, or will all their old ways of thinking creep back in and ruin their newfound happiness with each other?

I was honestly surprised at how sweet Boom turned out to be. It's also fun and witty and steamy. The balance between the enemies and the lovers is on point, and all together this is an entertaining story. And now that I've spent time getting to know the Blast brothers, I'm really looking forward to hardass Mason and sweet and sassy Cami's story, Bang.

Excerpt
To my infinite horror, I was staring into the hard gaze of Broderick Blastoviak – aka Brody Blast, a guy I'd known back in high school.

We had a history, and it wasn't terrific.

In school, he'd been a total trouble-maker through-and-through. Cocky. Obnoxiously brilliant. And too dangerous by half.

Unlike me, he never, ever followed the rules – and yet, he never seemed to pay for it.

That dickweed had cost me a full-ride scholarship. He was the reason I'd been working two jobs to pay for college, even while taking on far too many student loans.

In a roundabout way, this also meant that he was the reason I hadn't been able to purchase this house on my own, back when I'd had the chance three years
ago.

I freaking hated him.

And boy, did he hate me, too.

Even if I hadn't known this already, the look in his eyes would've been proof enough.

I sputtered, "What are you doing here?"

He gave me a look. "You mean in my house?"

"Oh come on!" I said. "It can't be your house. There's no furniture. And besides, why would you want to live here? Don't you have houses all over the place already?"

This wasn't as far-fetched as you'd think. Brilliant or not, Brody hadn't gone to college. Instead, he'd founded a tool-and-die company with his two older brothers and then proceeded to take the market by storm.

These days, Blast Tools – that was the name of their company – was famously successful, just like the company's three founders.

And I meant "famous" quite literally.

A few years ago, by some miracle, the brothers had gotten themselves a weekly cable show on the Home Network, where they used their own tools to remodel older homes or sometimes build new ones.

And just for the record, they looked very good doing it.

Damn it.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
