Review / Release Blitz: The Rules of Dating by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

Title: The Rules of Dating
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 19, 2022

BLURB
It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends.
Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn…
Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.
Colby Lennon, along with three of his friends, owned the building where my tattoo shop was located. He and I were total opposites. He wore a tie, oozed confidence that came with years of women falling at his feet, and wasn’t afraid to say what he wanted, which lately—was me.
I hated that I found myself attracted to him. Especially since I was supposed to be on a self-imposed dating hiatus. Yet the two of us couldn’t seem to stay away from each other. We started hanging out, as friends. I even went as far as making rules for what he’d dubbed our “undates.”
But eventually, our explosive attraction became too much to bear, and we broke our resolve. I let my guard down and started to really fall for Colby.
Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn't prepared for where I'd wind up when the ride was over.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

MY REVIEW

Billie's just found out her boyfriend has been cheating on her. So setting him up by bringing in all the women seems like a great idea. Unfortunately, all it does is get her tattoo shop's landlord very annoyed at her. But that same landlord seems very interested in dating her when they meet again. Is Billie willing to open herself up to more heartbreak? Perhaps she and Colby can just be friends...who don't really date and try to ignore the heat between them.


Just when Colby and Billie's "undates" were going so well...a huge bombshell is dropped on him. Is Billie willing to stick around with him while he figures out his new life? Willing to be his rock when everything is falling apart?


Undating has to be one of the cutest ways for someone to actually date someone who's wary. Billie was so, so wary of relationships after her cheating ex, and Colby was determined to get beyond those walls, so it was the only way he could be around her. Sweet, sexy, fun, and then of course the revelation was dropped and the emotional moments came hard and fast halfway through. I wanted to shake Colby a few times after that, and hurt for Billie. I was here for every page, though, and I fell hard for this adorable friends to more. This writing duo is one of my favorites and it's because they always give me such interesting, fleshed out and likable characters like Billie and Colby and crew. There's more than enough steam to light up your Kindle and even more heart, this duo's signature.

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...
