Synopsis


“I don’t trust my instincts around the man behind the wheel. He’s too good-looking. Too confident. Too everything I’ve always tried to avoid in a man."

"He’s perfection. Everything about him is, from his looks to his singing and the way he carries himself.”

★ Rockstar x City Girl
★ Small Town
★ Forced Proximity
★ Enemies to Lovers

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙔𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 @𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗷𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺, 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹-𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗻, 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀-𝘁𝗼-𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲!

The guy I just met at the mansion I inherited from a complete stranger?

He's drop-dead gorgeous. Sexy. And rude with a Capital R.
Turns out he's not the hot gardener as I wrongly assumed.
He's not only a famous rockstar who grew up in the house, he's also ready to fight for it. And being both hot-headed and Irish, he's going to fight hard and dirty.
I'm not moving out. Full Stop.
But neither is he.

So we agree on some simple rules.
We'll play roommates for a while.
What could possibly go wrong?

Living together with an Irish Hothead will surely cause a major storm. Let's hope bracing that storm won't turn into a hurricane.

Review 

🌟🌟🌟🌟♥️ Four Stars out of five 

Lori inherited a mansion from a lady she met and helped once in her cafe, her life was in tatters, so she left it all behind to go find out how, Sell up and sort out her life back home? 

But the mansion came with extra baggage 😉
He's drop dead gorgeous. Sexy. And rude with a Capital R.
Turns out he's not the hot gardener as Lori wrongly assumed. He's the famous rock star who grew up in the house, he's also ready to
fight for it. And being both hot-headed and Irish, he's going to fight… 😁. 

And there the fun begins...

This is the first book I read from this author, and I will be reading the second instalment...
Yes it ended in a cliff hanger 😭.

But don't let that put you off, this was a light fun read, I didn't put it down.

The writing flowed, the characters draw you into the dilemma that Lori has to face, as well as the attraction towards each other.

Patrick grew on me eventually.

There's a lot of unanswered questions that I imagine book 2 will reveal.
But overall I recommend reading the book, hopefully book 2 will be out soon 🙏

That Girl Who Ran Off and Kissed a Vampire by K.R.S. McEntire My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

That Girl Who Ran Off and Kissed a Vampire (#ThatGirlWho #1)That Girl Who Ran Off and Kissed a Vampire by K.R.S. McEntire
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

this book sounded like something that would be right up my street, and although I did enjoy the story, it took a long time for the story to get going, and then it ended with a cliffhanger 🫣.

the MC is 18 years old, but was very naive and trusting, I don't know many Neurodivergent people but I just thought she was just a bit socially awkward, shy and being adopted felt like she 'had to be good'. I Saw a lot of my teenage self in her insecurities. and my brain never shuts up 🤷, if this is what being ND means maybe I'm one? but anyway whether the author wanted to label Raven or not, she was a likable character.

one thing didn't understand was the blurbs first paragraph
'quote' Eighteen-year-old Raven has always had a college, a stable job, and marriage to her high school sweetheart—all within the safe boundaries of her comfort zone'- unquote. this didn't make sense to me as:

1- she puts off college... to stay with her friend/boyfriend? so she's not got college?
2 - the stable job, she's had it for 3 weeks?
3 - she's not married, hasn't even got as far as sleeping with the boyfriend?

the blurb also says that Raven is adopted into a family of high achievers, which was an odd way to describe a librarian and a teacher, but anyway the family dynamics were a briefly described and not many scenes were with the parents, so you don't really get to show the family dynamics worked.

anyway onto the actual storyline:

so after the slow start the story got more interesting once she was in the other realm.

Hunter the vampire was an interesting character, he's lying to Raven, but also attracted to her, there was a bit of the 'Bella/Edward/twilight ' theme going on with them aka Hunter not being able to manipulate/read her mind...
shes attracted to him but he's using her, so it's sometimes a bit icky, but as the story progresses we meet more characters, and that brings more than just their attraction towards each other to the storyline, I thought the singing scene was good and I liked the unicorn a lot 😉.

as I said the book was a bit slow at getting going, but when at the end we are getting into more of the adventure, and I am getting into the book, it ends. 😔

I'm not a fan of cliffhanger book's, but the world and the characters that were introduced are enough that if asked I would review the next book.

thanks to the author and Gladys #XOXOtheNerdGirl #NerdGirlOfficial for the opportunity to review the book.
this is honest opinion and I have not received any compensation for this review.
