This book made me chuckle aloud. It had heart warming, sometimes eye rolling moments and love.
As Elise's brothers best friend, and team mate, Elise is very much off limits to Justin, but their mutual attraction and long harboured crushes might just be worth the risk. A drunken night leads to a secret relationship with the potential to change everything.
This light hearted, steamy read is an instant page turner. The characters are likeable, the dialogue is far from cheesy and the hot moments are HOT!
As a sports romance lover, I would recommend to anyone with similar reading tastes.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Straight Boy (Straight Guys #0.5) in Books

I actually kinda l liked this...a lot.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this. Things to do with prison put me off a bit put this was written in a way so that we only really saw how it affected our boys' relationship.
That bit when he was talking about when he got out and Xavier kissed him hard, I was all sad like, and it was obvious to me then that emotions had become involved over the year.
I'm happy our boys got together in the end and I wouldn't mind reading more of this series at some point in the future.

I'm not sure about this story. Half the time I didn't understand their relationship and the other half I was swooning. It was a little strange.
One minute I liked Twitch, the next not so much. And then it would be repeated. I just found it all a little odd but at the same time I couldn't stop reading it. Hence the three star rating.
That ending had me in tears! And then that extra little bit has made me need to read the next one. WTF? You can't make me sad and then surprise me like that, it isn't a good look on me lol.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated When in Paris... (Language of Love, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
I was expecting for their to be more time spent in Paris--what with the title and all--but it lasted from 49% to 61% which isn't that long and then they were back in the States and their relationship was full steam ahead.
It's a fairly long book and though something seems to be happening all the time I found myself a little...dare I say it, bored? in some places.
I did enjoy it though and the characters were interesting. I'm dying to find out what happens with the other two couples too so I think I'll be buying the next two books when they're available.

Jan 7, 2021
Huh...another one that I'm completely torn by. I stayed up half the night reading the first 52% in one sitting.
The plot of having 5 families working under one company that pretty much runs half the world was a little far fetched for me. I'm sure stuff like that happens in the world but at the same time, it's too ridiculous for me to take seriously.
>On the other hand, I loved the relationship between Beck and Riley and let's not forget the rest of the gang and their strong bond.
I'm undecided as of yet whether I'm going to finish the series after that, in my opinion, strange ending.
