Quiet Types reminded me of a simple romance. The characters stayed true to themselves and for that, we were given a steady ride of their journey.
Maggie Lydon rides the bus to her cleaning job every day and because of those trips, she sees a man that intrigues her. Shay is quiet and keeps to himself but he's always watching her. After finding the courage to strike up a conversation, Maggie learns that Shay is mute. With each passing day on their bus route, Shay and Maggie developed a deep friendship that even with silence, was louder than anything.
I truly enjoyed the beginning of this story. The characters were tip toeing around each other in a sense and I didn't know where it was going to lead to. After reading a few chapters, I quickly realized that this was a slow and steady read but I still felt the anticipation of something MORE. I practically craved it and when that didn't happen, I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I liked the characters and the family dynamic but after a while, it became boring. There were no gasp worthy moments that made me want to flip through the pages at warped speed and I felt like I was just reading about someone's day to day life.
Despite thinking that this story was going to be more, this book was the epitome of a truly sweet romance. Straight-forward with the main characters go from getting to know each other one day at a time, to becoming a huge part of each other's inner circle and falling in love. If you're looking for a sweet romance with lovable characters,then this one's for you.

Dr. Dax Cove is on the fast track for doing ground breaking research and nothing is going to get in his way. Until one phone call letting him know that he's now a father, stops him completely in his tracks. Springing into action with the support of his brothers, Dax travels to the U.S for his newborn daughter and he's determined to only provide for her. Forming any bond that will jeopardize time for his research and future plans, will not happen.
Hiring the best nanny to take care of his daughter is proving to be a bit more difficult than expected. When he meets Eira, he immediately thinks that she's too young for the job but fate as it would have it, had other plans. After taking the job on the spot, Eira and Dax decide to work out a system for Dax's daughter to give her the best nurturing so she can thrive even more. That includes one on one time, feeding schedules and family bonding which is going to be more different with the newest addition to the Cove family.
I really loved the evolution of Dax as a father and balancing his work life. He was so determined to do things his way and not form a bond with his daughter but nothing played out the way he wanted it too. Day by day that steel exterior began to melt and not only did we see a different side of him, we saw him vulnerable and a fierce protector. This was the first book that I've read in the series but I truly didn't feel like I was missing anything. I loved the family dynamic and the story flowed well. My only issue was that towards the end, everything felt rushed and too wrapped up in a neat bow. I needed things to slow down a little bit but other than that, I enjoyed this one and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the spinoff series.
If you're looking for a sexy heartwarming single dad/nanny romance, I highly recommend this one.

Walking into her new Shakespeare class, Anne has no idea that the one person who has seen her in her most intimate form is also her professor. If that wasn't enough, he's also her ex boyfriend's father. Things are about to get MESSY.
I really loved that this was a forbidden romance that had some twists and turns. Not only did the heroine and side characters have a past, but the hero as well. I wanted to go more in depth with the main characters but I liked how the author set everything up letting us know that there's a lot more to come in book two. I definitely didn't like how things ended and I feel like it was rushed to give us a shock value but I'm very curious to see how everything is going to play out.
If you're looking for a steamy forbidden student/ teacher mystery romance, then you should give this one a try.
Please note: This ends on a cliffhanger
Best friends who pretend to date because the heroine gets pregnant by someone else? My hot mess radar was going through the roof and I was all for it!! This was going to be messy, sexy, heartwarming with a dash of humor
College cheerleader Roxy never imagined that her entire life would change from one positive pregnancy test. Having to come to terms with her new normal and a cheating ex who's the star quarterback is not going to be easy but lucky for her, she has a Best friend that's going to help her navigate it all. Including fake dating.
Billy has a bit of a reputation on campus and he's trying his best to turn over a new leaf. That includes no longer being a ladies man and trying his best to get drafted in the upcoming season. Football has been his first love and to get to play it on a wider stage, would be the ultimate goal. But there's something else that he's going to love even more and that's going to come with another surprise.
I really liked the premise of this story and I loved the fact that the main characters already had a friendship. I felt their connection and knew that they truly loved each other and it showed. The hero made the story for me because he did everything for the heroine and he went above and beyond for her. I had an issue with Roxy and the way she handled a certain situation and that hindered my enjoyment of the rest of the story. I also felt like there were too many miscommunications and that lead to unnecessary drama.
Aside from that, this was an ok read and I'm actually looking forward to reading the next couples book in the series.

I Wish I Would've Chosen You took me to one of my favorite places in the world. The forbidden place where rules were meant to be broken, whispered promises of more to come, and the knowledge that once you take that next step, it could be the best or worst thing that's going to happen to you.
Genevieve only wants one thing right now and that's to continue to sneak off and listen to beautiful poetry about love in bars. But she's a few weeks early for that segment so not wanting to waste a night, she stays and enjoys herself and meets a handsome stranger. With the conversations flowing nicely, Genevieve and Liam hit it off so well, they decide to stay in contact. That is until Liam finds out about her little white lie and unbeknownst to him, he's going to be seeing a lot more of her.
I truly loved the first half of this story and I felt the longing and enjoyed the banter between these characters. Having to keep things proper in a professional manner was not their strong suit and it fed into the forbidden aspect of things even more which I really liked. But…. The second half of the story was extremely rushed and I began to not even care about the main characters anymore. The new storyline was too much and over the top for my liking and I just needed things to slow down a bit.
If you're looking for a quick forbidden romance with light banter to pass the time, then you could give this one a try.
