REVIEW: The Aristocrat by Penelope Ward



Title: The Aristocrat
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 30, 2021


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

The one that got away. Every girl has one, right?
Mine was a charming, British aristocrat who turned my world upside down one summer.
From the moment I first spotted Leo in the distance through my binoculars, I’d been captivated. I certainly never expected to find a man showering outside of the property across the bay in his birthday suit.
Then I noticed his housemate staring back at me with binoculars of his own—watching me watching Leo.
That made for an interesting conversation starter when I inevitably ran into them.
Turned out, the handsome Brits were only renting that house for the summer in my seaside town.
Leo and I formed an instant connection, even though we were technically opposites by all appearances. I taught him how to dig for clams, and he taught me that not all wealthy and powerful guys are pretentious.
Despite knowing he was totally wrong for me, I couldn’t seem to stay away.
It was a wild and crazy few months. And before I knew it, we’d fallen in love.
We both had one wish: more time together.
But Leo had obligations back home. He lived a life I’d never fit into. And I was going to law school. So, we decided to end it and never look back.
A part of me always felt like I’d let my soulmate walk away.
I believed our story was over.
Until five years later when he sent me a letter that shook me to my core.
I’d thought my world was turned upside down that first summer?
Well, I knew nothing yet.

Author Penelope Ward has done it again with making you fall in love with her main characters hard.

Leo and Felicity will steal your heart.

This book captures all the feels and emotions that they go through.

I liked the good portions of angst, love, humor and steamy times that are in the story.

Leo & Felicities chemistry was spot on and I was all in on seeing where it would take them.

Loved the outcome of this book.

NEW RELEASE REVIEW: Safeguard (Speakeasy Taproom #9) by Stephanie Rose


BY

Release Date: September 2, 2021

The worst kind of heartache is the kind you can’t walk away from.

Jilted. Living in a glorified closet. The world’s worst bar waitress. I just need to keep a roof over my head and make tuition payments until I can finish graduate school. Then my real life will start. But right now, long nights at the Speakeasy have me burning the candle at both ends and the wax melting all over my fingers.

When a bar manager offers me a job taking care of his adorable five-year-old daughter, it seems like the perfect solution. I get a quiet place to study. Matteo gets a reliable sitter.

There should be no complications. Except that I like my new boss a little too much. His gorgeous dark eyes humble me, and the long talks we share fill me up inside. I can’t possibly fall for him.

But the undeniable pull between us leads to a scorching kiss I can’t ignore or forget, and suddenly I’ve fallen for them both, father and daughter.

And now three hearts are at stake.

Author Stephanie Rose has made me all mushy giddy with this book!

Matteo is a EVERYTHING!

Matteo is an amazing single dad, he is loving, sweet, kind, giving, who won my heart as soon as he came to life on the pages as I read.

When Melanie comes into the picture, I knew she wouldn't be able to resist him.

Their chemistry was beautifully written.

They both give their all when it comes to the ones they care and love for.

I loved how this story has a bit of everything; drama, love, painful pasts and present that brings these two wonderful characters together.

They learn from one another as well as how to become better to themselves.

And yes there are some steamy times that will have you blushing. 
The cherry on top was Matteo's daughter Lauren (yes I was a fan immediately), she is such a brilliant child and she has the spunky attitude that has you giggling and smiling.

Loved this story in the True North World.

This was worth the wait! 

I wanted more of Bash & Kieran's story and Authors Brooke Blaine & Ella Frank delivered!

This book picks up right where it left off and thank goodness because I was upset at how Bash left things with Kieran in book 1.

This book delivered the steamy tension these two men have been giving to one another since they met and I was all for it and loving it.

I love how Bash brings Kieran to the realization that his feelings for him can't be held back anymore from himself.  

I loved how they have heart to heart convos and it makes you feel even more invested to these characters.

Great build up and I can't wait to see what happens in the final book in this must read trilogy.
