Review / Release Blitz: Connection (Temptation #2) by K.M. Golland

Title: Connection
A Temptation Series Standalone
Author: K.M. Golland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 17, 2020
BLURB
A fun new novel featuring the characters from Temptation…

From two-time Romance Book of the Year Nominee and bestselling author K.M. Golland, comes a fun, opposites-attract romance with a How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days meets The Hating Game vibe.

Like every little girl, I dreamed of becoming a princess. I wanted the prince, the castle, the fairy-tale wedding, and maybe seven dwarfs to call my own. I went to school, studied hard, and graduated to become a teacher, all the while waiting patiently for my Prince Charming to come along and sweep me off my feet.
But he never came; Will Butler did instead.
Live Trepidation drummer. Rude, crude, obnoxious plumber. Will certainly didn’t fit my perfect Prince Charming mould, but boy did he break it and charm his way into my heart.
I’m just not sure I can let him stay there. And will he even want to when he finds out what I’m hiding?

MY REVIEW
Libby used to dream of Prince Charming coming to sweep her off her feet, but she now knows that will never happen, so when gorgeous, flirtatious Will enters her life determined to get to know her, she's highly suspicious and skeptical of his motives. But there's something about his persistence and his wonderful manner with the classful of children she teaches that has her rethinking her opinion of him. But she can't let him get too close because when he finds out her secret, she knows for certain that he'll leave her in his dust as he tries to run.

Will has never tried so hard to get to know someone as stubborn as Libby is turning out to be. But when he finally gets through her mile high walls, he is determined to let her know he wants more from her than just some fun. Will she ever let him into her heart? Or is she too guarded to allow him where she's most vulnerable?

This is a sweet, sexy story. I loved how crude but funny Will was, and what a contrast he was to Libby's more prim personality. These two opposites had chemistry in spades, and their snark and wit were entertaining as hell. I cannot wait to read more of this series now.
EXCERPT
His misty eyes hover over my chest, so I cross my arms, shielding his view.
“What are you doing here?” I hiss.
“I’ve come to clean out your pipes.”
“What?”
“Apparently your pipes are blocked.”
I pinch my brow, a headache forming.
“You look confused, sweetheart.”
“I am.”
“Sorry, Will. I had to answer that call—” Carly steps out from behind him, a sneaky smile creeping across her face when her eyes meet mine. “Oh, good. You’re here, Lib. Can you show Will the tap that burst, please?”
“Why?”
She looks at me like I’m an idiot. “Because he’s the plumber.”
“He’s the plumber?” I blink all the blinks.
Will jiggles a metal toolbox dangling from his hand, his smile full of white dazzling teeth, which look contradictory against his bushy beard.
“Of course you are.” I throw my hands in the air, turn on my heel, walk away, and bite out, “Follow me,” not waiting for him to do so.
“You look good wet,” he says, voice low but humorous as he falls into step beside me.
“Oh, shut up.”
He chuckles. “So tell me what happened.”
“I’m not entirely sure.” I huff. "One minute, I’m standing there, and the next, I’m soaking wet.”
I regret the words as soon as they leave my mouth.
He grins. “You wouldn’t be the first woman to say that to me.”

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
