Epic (Him #2.5) by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy

This short novella was the best thing ever! It was also what a doctor SHOULD subscribe when anyone is in my state - haven't been reading in WAY too long.. Jamie and Wes are epic as a couple for sure but this novella was especially awesome because it put them at the exact point where their whole relationship started.

There isn't a lot to say about this without spoilering.. I'll just say having more of Blake is ALWAYS a good idea. If you don't know who I'm talking about you are missing out! he's the MC in "Good Boy" in which he is coupled with Jamie's sister Jess.

Top Secret by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy

This was SUCH a great read and exactly what I expected from Sarina and Elle. Though the idea behind the synopsis sounds like a great fun, a spice up sexual experience, this book is much more complex, it's not a MMF novel, it's a story about two young men finding a special friendship, learning to trust one another and against their "better judgment" also falling in love. It was tender, it was raw, it was difficult to read at times being so heart breaking, yet the sweet moments between these two, the hope they both share made this book a BEAUTIFUL read.

Keaton Hayworth III has it all. He is studying biology in a prestigious college, he has a beautiful girlfriend - Annika - he adores. They have been together for 5 years and she is his best friend. He lives with his friends at their "Alpha Delt" frat house preparing to becoming its president. He is wealthy and he is very close to fulfilling his dream in an exciting expedition looking for a new species of killer whales. Well, his parents won't approve as his dad have BIG plans for him running their pharmaceutical company, but he'll get to telling them when he actually gets accepted.

When Annika surprises him with the offer of a threesome for her 21st birthday. At first Keaton isn't sure if she is serious but once he realizes she MUST be if she keeps bringing it up, he opens up the "Kink" app looking for a candidate.

Stay (WAGs #2) [Hailey & Matt] by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy

Sarina and Elle killed it again! I LOVED this story so much! Matt and Hailey were perfect for one another, perfect together and each on his/her own. I also liked Hailey's business - so clever! and getting more of the guys on the team (yeah, especially Blakey) was AWESOME.

We got glimpses of Matthew Eriksson in the previous installment but what we got didn't prepare me enough to fall in love with this sweet guy with this HUGE heart who fears he can never find a HEA, especially while being a professional Hockey player. His ex really did a number on him, blaming him on everything that went wrong in their marriage and now treating him like an invalid as a father to their twins girls. He loves his girls so he'll do right around anything (including change his recipe of waffles into a gluten free one - YUCK!) if that's what their mother wants. So while his teammates are (mostly) having fun he is reserved, returning home to his dog while the young ones are partying with anyone willing. Meeting Hailey was not something he expected but as kept texting with her he realized he really DOES want to meet her (even if he doesn't have anything real to offer her..)

Good Boy (WAGs #1) [Blake & Jess] by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy

FUN read, this one was SO different from the previous one. I REALLY enjoyed it, though I wish I had more time to enjoyed it as a should - in one Laughing Out Loud gulp! As it turns out, life TOTALLY got in the way of my reading but you know what? No worried, it means I got to enjoy it longer. Blake is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Though I could totally believe in him and his character - he is a sort of a "one of a kind", his charm was IMPOSSIBLE to ignore and even fall for, I could TOTALLY get why Jess was reluctant to accept his flirts and yet the moment she truly SEES him for who he is, and not just the "dumb jock" facade her fall is just inevitable.

Us (Him #2) by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy

I'm not actually sure how to review this book. Thing is, it's not what I expected. As I remembered Him (the first one), even though both MC had their issues it as a fun sort of read. Yet when I re-read my review today (after finishing this one) I see it WAS very angsty but this one was a different kind of angsty maybe? 

Jaime Canning and Ryan "Wes" Westley are couple for a few months now, they are living together in Toronto, Wes playing in the NHL and Jaime coaching, yet they can't out themselves as a coupe since it's Wes' first year in the NHL and it would be better (as the PR sees it..) if they can keep their relationship a secret until the year ends.

COVER REVEAL - Us (Him #2) by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy

It's no secret I'm more than a fan of Sarina Bowen's writing, for me, everything she writes is GOLD. I've also recently started reading Elle (after reading her collab with Sarina) and have been enjoying myself with the first two books in her NA College series "Off-Campus". 
When HIM was out I was pumped as I'm usually am (up to the roof ;)) - It was as amazing as I knew it's going to be. So if you're here and you haven't read HIM yet - shame on you! go ahead and grab it and read it! It's funny and tender with two best friends who lost each other over one silly night rekindling their friendship and finding love with one another. 
I loved everything about it, truly couldn't put it down. Also loved how seamless the book felt even though it was written by two authors (which is another reason I was so excited about this one!).

Today we're here for this STUNNING cover reveal. 
When it dropped in my email box I was starring at it for a while and just feeling it. 
It's so THEM, isn't it?



Are you breathing? :) 

This book will be out on 8 March 2016

Him (Him, #1) by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy

Outstanding. Some books you just KNOW are going to be GREAT and this one was exactly that. I recently read Elle Kennedy's "Off-Campus" series and LOVED it, and well, I'm already obsessively addicted to Sarina Bowen's writing. What could go wrong - NOTHING. This book was PERfection. Loved both MC, the development, the romance but before that, the friendship turning into love. The struggles both of them had to deal with. It was angsty for sure, my stomach was dropping all the god damn time! and yet it wasn't "too" angsty, it was taking us on a journey each of them had to take together and alone to get to where they are happy with themselves as well as one another.

The Mistake (Off-Campus #2) [Logan & Grace] by Elle Kennedy

Another excellent installment! Loved both MC, loved the interaction between the two, the relationship buildup and yeah, also the drama. All felt very genuine. I have to say, as I was reading this book I kept thinking there gotta be a mix-up because the synopsis doesn't seem to match the story and since I was nearing a third of the book I found it quite bizarre.. then when I actually hit the third mark - everything started to fall into place.

The Deal (Off-Campus #1) [Garrett & Hannah] by Elle Kennedy

Beautiful. So So Beautiful. A solid 5 star (if not 6!) I loved this book SO MUCH. I loved Hannah, loved Garrett, loved everyone! well, naturally except for "the villains" (let's not name them at this moment..). I totally think Garrett should get a cup, not of tea but a real trophy - ♥🏆♥ THE ultimate BEST book boyfriend🏆♥ I truly envy Hannah for finding such a perfect specimen.
