Title: Something Unexpected Author: Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Release Date: July 3, 2023 BLURB When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks. After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number. Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion. When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane. Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning. To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached n...

Review of Sweet Talk by Ashley Hastings SWEET TALK When grieving niece, Casey, meets new in town lawyer, Cade, it's not exactly love at first sight. It is, however, a funny but awkward meet-cute, and sets the tone for their soon to develop relationship. It turns out Cade is the lawyer her uncle hired to execute his estate and his bucket list for her. And when the bucket list, via lots of tearjerking letters, urges Casey out of her box, Cade is just the man to go along for the ride. Sweet Talk is more than I had been expecting. It's more than a tad emotional, and Casey and Cade are a fabulous couple. I love their journey, and I especially love that it's her uncle's letters that brought them together. So freakin swoony!
