ARC Review: Read, Write, Love by Melissa Foster

Read, Write, Love is the fifth book in the Remingtons series by Melissa Foster. This is the author Kurt's story, and he was the last remaining single Remington. I'll admit that after reading Rush and Jayla's story, I wasn't sure how much I would like Kurt's. I did really enjoy it though, and the book just kept getting better and better. This series is really good, and I highly recommend to all fans of contemporary romances especially if you like a series full of interconnected characters with interwoven stories. It's great to get each character's story, but also to continue to see them and how their HEAs are progressing.

Kurt Remington is a bestselling thriller writer, and he is used to living his life according to a routine. He runs, eats, drinks coffee, and writes. To work on his latest novel, he heads to his Cape house looking for some peace and quiet to focus. When he ends up being disturbed by a pretty woman trying to save her dog from drowning, he is instantly drawn to her and wants to get to know her better. For the first time in his life he is interested in things outside of just writing. Leanna has had job after job, and is using the summer to launch her new jam making business. At first glance Kurt and Leanna are complete opposites that should never work. But the closer they get the more they make sense. Soon they are making plans for their future together. But when a career opportunity comes up that would keep them apart and force them into a long distance relationship, Leanna and Kurt must make the choice of whether or not to make sacrifices for their growing relationship.

I really liked Kurt. He was quiet and reserved at first, and was so regimented in everything he did. He was sweet though, and went out of his way to help Leanna even when she had interrupted his writing. But he was so thoughtful and continued to do nice things for her just because he had been thinking of her. It was great to see him start to fall for her and watch as he started to actually live his life for more than just writing. Leanna I was slower to warm up to, but I did end up liking her. I thought that she was great for Kurt, and she really brought him out of his shell. She was such a free spirit and was a bit scatterbrained. She rambled a lot and was a bit odd. But she was also fun and playful, and lived life to the fullest. Kurt and Leanna were great for each other and they brought out different sides of each other that they weren't used to. They were a great balance for each other and had a lot of chemistry. Their relationship happened fast, but it was so real and believable. I never once questioned any of their feelings or decisions.

Overall, this was another great installment to this series. These books are really enjoyable, and I love the characters and how different each and every one of them are. Kurt and Leanna's story was sweet and light and I loved seeing them fall for each other and grow into such a great couple. I loved Leanna's friends and how they interacted with Kurt also. I also really enjoyed her dog Pepper, and thought it was so cute how quickly Kurt and he bonded after getting off to a rough start. They were adorable together. I have to say that Rush and Jayla's story is still my favorite, but Kurt and Leanna's is a really close second. This series is one I would definitely suggest that all contemporary romance fans give a shot, and I cannot wait to read more from Melissa Foster in the future.

ARC Review: Various States of Undress: Carolina by Laura Simcox

Various States of Undress: Carolina is my first Laura Simcox book, and I really enjoyed it! This book was such a sweet and easy read that I just kept reading until I had finished the entire book. I really loved that this book had romance and some humor to it, and it was the perfect light read that I was looking for. I can't wait to read more in this series and from Laura Simcox in the future!

After Carolina Fulton, daughter of the President of the United States, finds her fiance cheating on her she decides that she needs a break. She heads out to her family's cabin in Wyoming and ends up getting snowed in with her super hot Secret Service agent Jake. Carolina had fantasized about him for months, and with just the two of them being locked in a cabin alone things quickly heat up between them. But as they explore the attraction and chemistry between them, feelings begin to grow as they get to know each other. They both know that their relationship has a deadline, and that as things currently stand they are unable to have any kind of future together. But with Carolina's interest in school changing and Jake's long forgotten dream of a career in baseball, can the two of them risk everything by changing the path their lives are on and taking a chance on each other?

I really loved both Jake and Carolina. I thought that they were both great, and I was rooting for them from the very start. Both Jake and Carolina are sweet and open, and I loved how easy things were between them. Their relationship was so natural, and the only real issues or drama that they had were outside influences. It was really refreshing to see a hero and heroine that could be honest and discuss their feelings and to find a relationship that was constantly being dragged down by drama and angst. Jake and Carolina had great chemistry together and you could feel their attraction. But they clicked emotionally as well, and I thought that they had a really strong connection between them. They were able to be themselves with each other, and I think that they were the perfect match for the other.

Overall, I thought that this book was really good and I loved Jake and Carolina. I did feel that even though I enjoyed that there wasn't a lot of drama, that the conflict was a little weak. Their only real problem was that their current circumstances kept them from a relationship and that was easily fixed. I kept waiting for something else to happen, and it never did. I was expecting an attack or something that just never came. But honestly this book was still good, and I really liked that it was such a sweet and easy read. I would recommend this one to Contemporary fans looking for a true romance with little to no drama or complications. This one was easy to get lost in and the little bits of humor and playfulness balanced perfectly with the sweet and sexy. Carolina and Jake's relationship is worth the read, and I am looking forward to reading about Carolina's sisters in the future.

Feature and Giveaway: Various States of Undress: Carolina by Laura Simcox

What happens when the president’s daughter and her sexy Secret Service agent find themselves snowbound? A little cabin fever, some serious forbidden attraction, and Various States of Undress…

When Carolina Fulton, daughter of the President of the United States, dumps her cheating fiancé, she knows she needs a break from life in Washington. Spending some quality alone time in her family’s Wyoming cabin seems like a perfect escape-except for the hot Secret Service agent who shadows her every move. Miles away from civilization, Carolina quickly realizes that ignoring the smoky eyes, carved chin, and mile-wide pair of shoulders is going to require more than a little self-control.

Elite agent Jake Baxter knows better than to develop feelings for his clients. After all, he’s not being paid to fantasize about running his fingers through Carolina’s dark hair, kissing her senseless, or waking up next to her petite, curvy body. But as a blizzard rages outside their all-too-cozy cabin, Jake knows he has to put the freeze on this attraction, lest his job-or his heart-is suddenly laid on the line.
