“Friends to lovers at its best– a sweet indulgence I couldn’t put down!” – R.S. Grey, USA Today Bestselling Author

Baking Me Crazy, the first in the romantic comedy Donner Bakery Series of standalones, from Karla Sorensen is available now!

I’m Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family’s curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense.

No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life.

Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was.

The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She’s the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I’ve ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can’t.

Because when we met, she didn’t need true love. She needed a best friend. And that’s what I’ve been to her… for five years.

But when Jocelyn meets a handsome stranger her first day working at Donner Bakery and she lets him buy her a dill pickle cupcake, I realize with ominous regret that I may have missed my window with my best friend.

If I can’t get her to see past our friendship, my new curse may be to watch the love of my life move on with someone else.

‘Baking Me Crazy’ is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book#1 in the Donner Bakery series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

About Karla Sorensen

Karla Sorensen has been an avid reader her entire life, preferring stories with a happily-ever-after over just about any other kind. And considering she has an entire line item in her budget for books, she realized it might just be cheaper to write her own stories. It doesn’t take much to keep her happy…a book, a really big glass of wine, and at least thirty minutes of complete silence every day. She still keeps her toes in the world of health care marketing, where she made her living pre-babies. Now she stays home, writing and mommy-ing full time (this translates to almost every day being a ‘pajama day’ at the Sorensen household…don’t judge). She lives in West Michigan with her husband, two exceptionally adorable sons and big, shaggy rescue dog.

My Review…

I was so happy to be chosen to read some of the new stories from Smartypants Romance. And Karla Sorensen is totally new to me author.

Baking Me Crazy is a fantastic story! It brings heart, heat and as the character, Joy says “So romantic…”.

This is the story of Levi Buchanan and Jocelyn Abernathy.

First off, I want to say that this story flows beautifully into the fictional world of Green Valley that Penny Reid created.  I loved seeing characters from Penny Reid make an appearance and it didn’t distract from the main story at all! It brought a layer of believability to the story.  That the characters that Ms. Sorensen created belonged there.

I was intrigued by Jocelyn.  She has a disability and she doesn’t let it define her.  She has vulnerabilities that she can’t seem to shake and has defenses that would scare off most, but not her best friend Levi. I learned a little when reading about Joss, her disease and I was able to really empathize with what she was going through.

Oh and holy crow, Levi Buchanan and the curse!  I loved reading his POV’s and what really made me swoon was the comparisons that he made with Joss’s eye color…read this and you will melt too!  He was what Joss needed him to be when she needed him.  I love the best friends to lovers trope and this story knocked it out of the park.

Getting Played, a magnificent new romance by New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is LIVE!

Dean Walker is all about keeping life simple. He’s effortlessly talented and intelligent—spending his summers playing drums in the local band and the rest of the year teaching high school in the same Jersey town where he grew up. He likes his love-life simple too, enjoying the commitment-free hook-ups his good looks and sexy charm have always made oh-so easy.

Then he meets Lainey Burrows. And his simple, easy life gets turned upside down.

***

One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son’s new math teacher. But that’s nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all—their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked-up, and now they’re about to become parents. Together.

What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won’t be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight.

A stand-alone, contemporary romance.

My Review…

I have been a long time fan of Emma Chase…from Tangled till now…

Getting Played is the story of Lainey and Dean.

There are so many wonderful things about this story.  Ms. Chase has this amazing ability to write inner dialogue that is quick, hot and funny as hell.  Especially the hero’s POV.  Epically funny!

I like the fact that both Lainey and Dean are older, not fresh-faced but experienced in life.

Lainey was a young mom and now has a teenager.  She has a maturity to her and yet a winsomeness that can’t be defined.  She is also upfront about what she wants and what she needs.

Dean is such an enigma!  I loved all the facets of his character.  He was a player, he owned it and when it was time to step up and be the man he needed to be he did.

The secondary characters were as amazing as the main characters and brought so much more to the story!

The flow of this story is quick but still so full of character and life.  I love diving into Ms. Chase’s stories, the worlds she creates are fun, full of life and oh so swoony!

My Review…

“…Beth? Yeah, that’s what the men who loved her called her..”

I honestly could not put down this book until I finished it, and now I am wanting more!!

This is the first book in what is going to be an epic trilogy by Dylan Allen.

This is the beginning of the story of Elisabeth and Carter.

Elisabeth is trying to be what her family demands of her.  She has been the victim of unspeakable horrors and yet she finds a way to downplay them or blames herself for them!  My heart bleeds for this character!

Carter is struggling to find his place in the world, he too has been dealt with some revelations that have rocked him and he is trying to process this.

The world that Ms. Allen creates, the words she uses to paint the pictures is phenomenal! You are going to get your heart broken in this story, I cried and I felt anger for the injustices that have been done.  I am cheering so hard for both Elisabeth and Carter.

You are going to be submerged in this story, in the town of Winsome and the lives of both Carter and Elisabeth.  This story is just the beginning, and how this story ends just wow!

If you haven’t read Dylan Allen’s stories before, do yourself a favor and GET THIS BOOK!! You will not be sorry and you will fall in love (and hate) with the characters and the world she creates!

My Review…

Cupids Series…

Another cute, funny and steamy story by Ms. Lila Monroe!

This is Natalie and Justin’s story.

I always enjoy Ms. Monroe’s heroines, and Natalie is nothing short of fantastic.  She is smart, sassy and I love how she sticks up for things and people that she cares about! Her chance encounter with Justin is sweet, funny and steamy!  A great meet-cute and what a way to start her story.

Justin is struggling to find his place in the world.  He wants to blaze his own trail and with his last name and legacy, it’s hard to come by.  Meeting Natalie gives him the push he needs.

You also get the humor you come to love from Ms. Monroe, I caught myself laughing out loud at the dialogue and antics that her characters do and say.

I also liked seeing past characters make appearances and catching up with what’s going on with them.

Another hit, another jewel in the writing crown of Lila Monroe.  Well done!

My Review…

A Cocky Suits Novel

What an intro to a new series by these two!

Cocky Playboy is the story of Decker and Tate.  Two high powered attorneys forced to work the big deal together.

I have to give props to these two gentlemen.  First off, the alternate POV’s were phenomenal! I don’t know who wrote which character but the flow of the story is seamless!

Second, the chemistry of this story is off the charts hot and boy the dirty talk was on point!

Next, let’s talk about Tate, this woman is all sorts of fierce and she doesn’t back down for anything! I like her take charge attitude and I applaud the way the softness of her character showed at the end.

Decker, wowza what an alpha!  He is the king of compartmentalizing! But when things start blending, he rises to the challenge and brings the sweetness with the bossiness!

I am looking forward to the next stories in this series!! Get your hands on this!

My Review…

This story is truly the art of the slow burn.

This story takes place over 12 years, but the flow and the rhythm of this story is beautifully done!  The characters are so well written that you feel like you truly know them.

This is the story of Auggie and George, this is their story of friendship that is honest and true and not always hearts and flowers.  They meet in college and they grow together and sometimes apart over the years.  I loved how their friendship trumps everything.  I admired how both Auggie and George only wanted each other’s happiness even at the expense of their own feelings.

I was rooting for them throughout the story, I was also wanting to shake both of them at times and tell them to see what is right in front of them. But it took years and growth, on both their parts, to finally realize what their friendship truly was!

Family means everything to these two and I loved how even the secondary characters play such a phenomenal role in this story.

Ms. Burgoa never fails to amaze me with her writing talents!  This is such a well rounded, well-written story about the true meaning of friendship and family.
