Looking For Some Escapist Reading? Look No Further!

 

The Kiss Contract by Angela Taylor is a fun, fluffy book with cute dogs and just the right amount of comedy in the love story. It's a nice Rom Com. If you like it, there are more books in the same universe! One of the things I like about these books is that each book features different tropes. I'm a big fan of fake relationships, and that is the first thing that drew me to The Kiss Contract.

Here is more info about the book! 

When you sign a contract to fake-date your sister’s best friend, things are bound to get

complicated!

�� THE KISS CONTRACT

Pet photographer Jessa Lockwood has a problem, and his name is “Creepy Bruce.” After one misguided

internet date, the guy turns into a stage-five clinger. Getting rid of him is harder than keeping dog hair

off her clothes. So, what’s a girl to do when she runs into him on the street? Kiss the first guy she sees

and pretend he’s her boyfriend, that’s what. Great idea, right?

Double-decker, she’s so screwed, abso-flipping-lutely wrong!

There isn’t enough ice cream in the world to melt away that bad decision. Especially when the guy she

locks lips with turns out to be her best friend’s sexy-as-sin, loves-to-push-her-buttons brother, Chase.

Still, she can fix it. Once she gets rid of the creepster, she’ll go home, lock herself in her bedroom, and

never come out again. After all, what’s food delivery for, if not to provide sustenance to the terminally

mortified

Chase Maysen just won the lottery in the form of a dimpled blonde he’s had a crush on for years. Jessa’s

always been off limits, but when her mom witnesses their kiss and invites him to an overnight family

gathering, he accepts before Jessa can say no. She’s never considered him relationship material before,

so this is his once in a never-gonna-happen-again chance to change her mind.

Now Jessa’s stuck between a rock and six-pack abs. She can’t get out of the predicament, but she can lay

down some ground rules. Because seriously, if she and Chase sign a contract to “fake-date” each other,

what could possibly go wrong?

Nothing, right?

Right?

Angela writes steamy, frisky, fun contemporary romance that always includes humor, heat, and lots of

snarky banter. Happily ever afters are a must!

When she’s not writing romance, she’s probably either reading in the “Bunny Estate” (aka his own

bedroom) with her bunny, Tag, glued to the TV watching everything from Hallmark to The Amazing

Race to John Wick, or going to the theater for a popcorn fix—er—to watch a movie. Oh, and let’s not

forget drinking way too much Diet Coke! (Yes, she knows she has a problem. Don’t judge!)

Angela shares her rural home with three short, furry children, Remi, Ruby, and Starsky, and her

husband, Dean, who is used to the dogs being mentioned first.

This week our weather took a turn for the warmer and that caused me to have a terrible sinus headache that has turned into sinusitis. The turn for the worse happened Friday night so I guess the upside is I have the weekend to relax. However, my plan for the weekend was to work on writing my second book! Yesterday I was smart enough to recognize there was no point in trying to write and I laid in bed most of the day. 

Today, as you can see, I am feeling good enough to sit in bed and write. My goal for today is two thousand words. Wish me luck!

How are you doing? Any fun plans for the upcoming week?  

I'm currently finishing reading Cat Sloan Is Swirling. I'm planning to blog about that on Friday. Tomorrow I'll be blogging about Last Night by Luanne Rice. 

My Introduction to Alexis Hall writer of Boyfriend Material

 This is my first book by writer Alexis Hall. Alexis Hall has written a bunch of books including a paranormal investigator series that I think I will check out sometime later this year.  Boyfriend Material is the first book in a new romance series. This was picked as our book club read for April and I was excited to get to read it. 

Well, as I tend to do for this book club, I didn't 'read' it, I listened to the audio. For this book that was a good choice as the reader, Joe Jameson, has the most delightful accent - I assume it's a London accent.  Is that a thing?  In any case, he really helps make the book that much more enjoyable. 

Luc is so hard on himself and right from the beginning you just want good things for him. Unlike most of the Romance books, I've read lately this one is not told from both Luc and Oliver's point of view.  This one is only from Luc's POV and I did enjoy that change. 

The tagline for this book is: 

Wanted:
One (fake) boyfriend
Practically perfect in every way

As you know if you read my blog, I love a fake relationship! There is lots of wonderful banter and high-quality cuddling as this fake relationship slowly morphs into so much more. I appreciated Luc's slowly awakening from depression as he spent time with Oliver and Oliver's actions revealing that he wasn't the only person in the relationship with self-esteem issues and doubts.  This book has many laugh-out-loud moments and tons of the sweetest scenes. 

If I had to compare this story, I would say that this romance reminded me of David Rose and Patrick Brewer on Schitt's Creek.  Funny, sweet, and kind.  This romance was described as a cracked door romance, by a reviewer on Goodreads.  To me, someone who usually reads more explicit romance, I thought it was a closed-door romance. All that is to say, if you prefer more scenes with bedroom ( or other rooms LOL) action, you may be left wanting more, but overall I wouldn't let that stop you from giving this a read!
