I'm a sucker for best-friends-to-more stories, and this novella did not disappoint. Although none of the Barrett Boys appear in person in this story, it still made me curious about this family, and I would like to read more about them, please! :)
Redge reviewed The Charade by Judy Corry

4 stars
Well, that escalated if not quickly then at least in an unexpected direction! Personally, I felt the drama was a bit too drawn out, though. (YMMV.)
One of my favorite things about the story was the banter between Ava and Carter; I really enjoyed meeting their group of friends and I would like to read more books in the series.
Redge reviewed Cursed Saint Caper by Jessie Kwak (Nanshe Chronicles, #3)

Another excellent adventure!
While book #2 had a more Indiana-Jones-adventure-y feel, Cursed Saint Caper gave me more of a "Leverage" vibe - which I found equally entertaining as the previous books.
Seeing Ruby and Raj go undercover - to help out the convent where Ruby and Alex grew up and find their missing aya - was a lot of fun, and the story kept me up way past my bedtime.
I loved seeing the crew grow even closer yet over the course of this new adventure, and I appreciate how they are truly becoming this tight-knit (found) family I can't help but root for. I especially enjoyed getting to know Ruby better, her POV chapters offered some insights I had not expected.
And as much as I like Las and Raj, I hope we get to spend some extra time with the other crew members in the future, too. :) …

It took me a while to warm up to both MCs, and both Sophie and Andrew had some growing up to do over the course of this story, but once the penny dropped for them and they had some a-ha moments, I was rooting for them both.
Redge reviewed Selah Loves Dante by Jordan Ford
None
5 stars
Even though Selah and I may not have too much in common (I'm neither tall and willowy nor a gifted dancer born with a silver spoon in her mouth), I found her to be very relatable. And Dante? Le Swoon Really, he is just such a good guy and he deserves ALL the best. I loved seeing how he and Selah grew closer with time and brought out the best in each other.
It was great to see more of the other Misfits too and how they started to take Selah under their wings and tried to keep her safe from potential (and likely) retribution by the Asshats in general and Ronan in particular.
I also enjoyed the little crossovers with the Haven Hallways series.

5 stars
Welcome to the jungle! This fun new adventure takes the Nanshe crew onto a fast-paced treasure hunt with a strong Indiana Jones-y vibe (mysterious clues! dastardly rivals! double crosses and betrayal!).
I also enjoyed learning more about both Lasadi's and Raj's respective back stories, the consequences of which keep spilling over into their current lives. And even though their pasts are not making it easier for this new-found crew to trust each other, they manage to work together (well, sort of, mostly, anyway...) and form stronger bonds during this new quest.
I love how this crew tackles all the challenges that are thrown their way, and I hope we will get to follow Lasadi, Raj, Jay, Ruby, and Alex along on many, many more adventures!

Redge reviewed Just a Little Fake Romance by Melody Sweet
None
5 stars
Sweet, funny, and heartwarming <3
Both April and Angus made it so very easy for me to root for them. They were just so dang cute - and occasionally awkward ;) - together, and I loved seeing them grow closer over the course of their fake relationship that slowly but surely developed into the real thing.
These two made me smile and swoon, but it was Angus's daughter Elsie who stole my heart from the moment she first appeared on the page.
More, please?
Redge reviewed Caught up with the Captain by Kait Nolan

5 stars
First of all: I loved every single book in the Bad Boy Bakers series, and Rebecca was just such a lovely and wonderful presence throughout who not only supported but kind of adopted all of Jonah's fellow bakers and their families. I'm happy that she now got her own HEA too.
While Grey has been mentioned before, we never got the whole story - until now. I am a sucker for a good second-chance romance, and this one packs quite an emotional punch. For me, it was the perfect finale for this wonderful series.
Redge reviewed Falling Into Forever by Delancey Stewart

5 stars
You had me at "vintage 'Vette". :) Though, to be fair, this story drew me in right from the start, and it was easy to root for both Addie and Michael. But frankly it was 12-yo Dan who stole my heart from the moment he appeared on the page (no, not only because he's a kindred 'Vette fan).
I loved the combination of relatable characters struggling with real-life problems interwoven with the over-the-top family feud and haunted-house shenanigans. Bonus points for the super-groanworthy Dad jokes!

A fun read! I loved all the pop culture references - at least those I did catch (I'm pretty sure I've missed just as many). Special shoutout to Holly and Starbug; the originals hold a special place in my heart. :)
