Aug 5, 2024 | August 2024, Blog, Blog Tour, Kaitlyn Hill
Wild About You by Kaitlyn Hill is for the reader who loves the reality tv series The Amazing Race or a good scavenger hunt, either will do. Do you enjoy hiking along scenic trails and making friends along the way? Sometimes the best way to overcome and conquer fears are to do something grand. For Natalie and Finn they are about to embark on a journey as they discover what really matters, how to tackle their fears, and find love in the most unexpected place.
This was my first time reading a book from Kaitlyn and I can’t wait to read more. I enjoyed her writing style, the plot, the pacing, the characters…the characters were relatable and loveable. The grumpiness from Finn and the sunshine Natalie balance each other throughout their journey. I found the anxiety rep from the MC easy to connect with as this book is targeted for the New Adult and up readers. For readers concerned with any possible triggers the noteable ones include anxiety disorder, grieving/loss of parents and grandparents.
Sometimes no matter how prepared we are the unexpected can change your plans in a nano second. With limited supplies, a small camera, emergency phone, and a handwritten map teams will endure the elements to race to the finish for a chance to win a scholarship toward their college tuition. If you are able to outwit and outsmart the other teams you might discover more than you ever imagined. Just be sure to watch out for bears and cliffs.
When it comes for the heat level I would give this a sinfully sweet but closer to the sweeter side. However, there is only one tent so….that means plenty of pages for chemistry and laugh out loud moments. I received a copy from Publicity Prose for an honest and fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Q: If you were to go backacking along the Appalachian Trail and only had a 25 pound backpack, what would you pack?

Biggs must find a way to secure funds to protect his family from the damage his father caused. Will his plan be enough to save them all from ruin? If only he could tell Blythe the real reason he’s so determined to fix the trail of destruction.
Assumptions, secrets, and a proposal make this a fun story of salvation with tension, banter, and a slow burn. If you’re looking for YA regency with a little bit of sweet and a whole lot of fun give this a go. Don’t be surprised if you start looking at bees in a whole new light.
This is a sweet story with behind closed doors romance with enough sweetness to put a pink blush on your cheeks, and leave your heart full of joy. Characters might hold hands or kiss. A warm embrace and possible mention of moving forward in an intimate nature could be mentioned.

All About Genevieve by Shana Galen is the third and final book in the Misfortunes Favorites and once again we find ourselves seeking answers for a childish prank that left three friends cursed and the witch who wanted revenge.
Lord Emory “Rory” Lumlee is approaching his 30th birthday. Forced to face his parental responsibilities it’s time to focus his attention towards his daughter. Can he put aside his anger and resentment towards her mother or will it leave a dark cloud over them both? In order to connect with Francis Rory will face his biggest challenge- hiring a governess who can keep track of a precocious and imaginative child.
Genevieve Brooking is resourceful, creative, patient, and most of all has a kind heart. One who is able to connect with children and communicate without being condescending. I love the way she pays attention to Francis and can read the room figuring out what she needs.
When Rory witnesses the connection between Genevieve and Francis he will need to make a choice if he hopes to connect with his daughter while finding a way to forgive himself for the pain and deception.
Sometimes the best way to approach life is through a child’s perspective. One where games, riddles, promises, and kisses are offered without strings.
Rory must find a mother for his child, will the marriage be simply transactional? Will three childhood friends finally be rid of the curse that has plagued their lives and find true love?
This spicy historical romance is best enjoyed with your favorite iced beverage, a cozy chair, and maybe a fan. Characters comfortably express their desire with kissing and passionate exploration. If you’re looking for a medium level of heat this should be a satisfying read.
Thank you Dragonblade Publishing for the advance reader copy for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a new undeniably funny and always spicy winter holiday, enemies-to-lovers romance
𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐌𝐘 𝐍𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐁𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐒
♥ 10/15/2024 ♥
Every Kringle in Kringletown celebrated Christmas a lot.
But Cole Black on Whistler Lane, unfortunately, did not.
As his fellow citizens decorate their quaint town, brimming with carols and glad tidings, Cole wants nothing more than to hibernate the winter away. But his dreary plans are thwarted when his Christmas nemesis, Storee Taylor, moves in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Immediately, the new neighbor turns his life into a real nightmare before Christmas, especially when she decides to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest in honor of Cindy. And better yet, Storee is determined to win.
Over Cole’s dead body, she will. With help from his friend Max, Cole decides to enter the competition as well, to beat Storee at her own game by pretending that this hometown grump’s heart has grown three sizes this season and he’s fallen for the girl next door. And unfortunately for Storee, she has to follow his lead to have a chance at the Christmas Kringle title.
But the competition isn’t the only thing that heats up. Cole and Storee’s fake relationship becomes very real, and before they know it, they’re attempting to hide it from Aunt Cindy. Things get complicated, the competition gets tough, and all it takes is one single night for someone to steal it all…
I can’t wait to read this.
