Review / Release Blitz: Rachel, Out of Office by Christina Hovland

Rachel, Out of Office by Christina Hovland is now live!
Out of reach, out of touch, out of her mind.

Single mom, Rachel Gibson seriously needs a break. Between an absent ex-husband, rowdy twin boys, managing the PTA, and running her own business, her candle isn't burning at both ends, it's a full-blown puddle of wax. She's the go-to girl for other entrepreneurs, handling all the tasks they dread. Social media posts? She's got it. Website updates? She's on it. Light bookkeeping? Oh, yes.

Thank goodness she's about to get a reprieve when her in-laws plan to whisk her boys away for a summer of fun at the family lake house. But when her ex backs out of the family retreat, and her former inlaws insist she attend their yearly vacation summit with her munchkins, she finds herself in a pickle. Even though she's drowning in to-dos, she's horrible at saying no -- especially when it comes to her kids.

Once Rachel arrives at the lake house, she struggles to keep up with work and balance the demands of family all the while fending off pesky new feelings about her ex-brother-in-law. Which makes her start to wonder... Is falling for her ex-husband's brother just one more messy complication added to the dumpster fire? Or is anything possible when she's out of office...
MY REVIEW
Rachel's an extraordinary single mom who can't say no when it comes to giving her kids what they need, what they want. She does it all. When her ex flakes on taking the kids for the summer, she ends up coming into contact with her former brother-in-law, and nothing is the same ever again.

I may not be a mother, though I helped raise my niece and nephew starting when I was a teenager, but my mom was a Wonder Woman single mom, so I can relate to Rachel's character, and certainly appreciate her. I loved the humor, her willingness to do it all for her kids, and I adored Trevor and the chemistry that sprang up between the two. As rom-coms go, this one is top notch - sweet, fun, and entirely relatable.

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...
