MY GRUMPY SWEETHEART is part of the Sweetheart Escapes series. It can be read as a standalone, but I read it after My Sweetheart Surprise, which has Bailey's friend, Parker, as one of the MCs.

I thoroughly enjoyed this read, although I would have liked a little more background on Dakota. For example, what made him quit his city job? Why did he have anger issues (apart from the obvious?) Bailey is the kind of character I love to read about but would drive me insane in real life! 😂 Their differences worked though, and I loved seeing Dakota thaw. Bailey's bluntness was so refreshing and absolutely perfect.

One thing I have to mention - because I loved it SO much - is Dakota's reaction to his friends and their oh-so-good plan, plus when they arrive at the B-and-B. First off, it was a real sh!tty thing for them to do, and I completely understood where Dakota was coming from. I would have left the weekend too. And secondly, his reaction to the honeymoon suite. I mean, yes, it works perfectly for the story, but once again, I thought his reaction was perfect. Who would do that?!?!?

All in all, a great read that I definitely recommend and part of a series I want to read more of.

Fighter ( The Prophecy book 2 )
By Jessica Wayne

 
A plan has been set in motion.With confidence in her magic and the man she loves by her side, Anastasia feels bulletproof. But nothing could be further from the truth. When she and Dakota travel back to Seattle, they find something they never would have expected, and as the blows keep coming, Anastasia learns the harsh reality of what it means to be a Fighter.

The second book was even better than the first! I love this who concept. The only thing in this one they were all at deaths door at some point I mean Anastasia and Dakota are just yo-yos on deaths finger! But I do really enjoy the world Jessica has built!!

Captains Log, Stardate 47634.44, Just finished watching a movie called Please Stand By. It was a very fun and heartwarming flick. Dakota Fanning plays an autistic girl who boldly goes on an adventure towards Paramount Pictures studio to submit her Star Trek script into a writing contest. While the script to this movie lacked the character development and conflict of the supporting cast that would have beamed it up to the next level, it was still a very enjoyable voyage.
