โ Family Loyalty
โ Best Friends Brother
โ Family Drama
What would you do if you realized that your sibling was cheating on their significant other? What if you were best friends with the person your sibling was dating…would you tell them?
Secrets, betrayal, and loyalty impact friendships and family that is beach vibes.
It’s time to find out if blood family is stronger than found family. Are you strong enough to do the right thing?
The characters have expressed their feelings as they begin to explore a physical connection which many include kissing and sexual touching. There is plenty of sexual tension on the page and the bedroom door is open.
The intimacy between characters is warm, sensual, and inviting but will fade-to-black leaving the details off the page. The reader can confirm the characters have taken their exploration to the next level and are now connecting in a more intimate nature. In some books you will find a little extra drama that might be paired with a third act break-up which hopefully leads to a reunion sprinkled with a little romance of some kind before the story ends.
I received an advance galley copy by @harpercollinsย for an honest and fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

โ Friends to Lovers
โ Small Town
โ Dual Timeline
โ Second Chance
โ Cozy
Cozy cottages, a tackle shop, promises made, childhood friendships, a racoon named Fat Tony, and a cast of characters that will leave you rooting for love after all these years.
Ben returned to Clay Creek, Arkansas to tie up loose ends and sell his family cottage. How long will it take for the entire town to figure out what is best for him and find a way to impact his decision?
It’s not often we get a second chance at love. In a small town where news travels fast and everyone knows everything will Ben and Emily have a moment to themselves to resolve things? Hopefully they will be able to clear up the past before the rest of the town uncovers the truth and Benjamin leaves…again.
I loved this tender, heartwarming story that has lots of charm and character. Will this be the best summer ever? Grab a copy of this book and take a bookcation that is sure to sweep you off your feet.
A slow burn with spice that’s Sinfully Sweet where the characters have expressed their feelings as they begin to explore a physical connection which many include kissing and sexual touching. There is plenty of sexual tension on the page and the bedroom door is open.
The intimacy between characters is warm, sensual, and inviting but will will fade-to-black leaving the details off the page.

๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ by Sara Ackerman is a love letter to Maui that takes the reader into the rainforest, dives into the culture, traditions, people, and on a journey to finding love in the most unexpected place.

โ Rules
Iwa Young is convinced that Dane Parsons is just like all the other surfers and that his great love is the ocean.
Two fearless warriors battle the elements in a race to be at one with the very thing they love. Will they find a way to align their passions and discover a world that is better with the other in it? One has a rule to not date a surfer…the other…never turn your back on the sea.
It is obvious how much Sara Ackerman loves the island with the care and attention to detail in the plot and character arcs as readers journey into the heart of Maui. I felt like I was right there with them and now I need to book a trip to Maui.
The exploration is more explicit between characters that may include dirty talk, detailed intimate moments, or suggested desire of what they would like to do with their partner. This moment might also be expressed before, during, or after intimacy, spicy e-mails, letters, or texting.
Readers can expect multiple detailed scenes or momentsย that leave no doubt there is a medium level of heat.
Thank you in advance to Harper Collins for the advance galley copy for an honest and fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I can’t wait to read more from Sara Ackerman!
