Dexter Daniels prefers gems over women. Emeralds over girlfriends. Diamonds over marriage.

 

He might be the most successful jeweler of his generation, a loyal friend and some say the most handsome man in London, but his past means he doesn’t deal in love.

 

When Hollie Lumen enters the ballroom where exquisite royal jewels are on display, she brings Dexter’s world to a screeching halt. Despite her hand-me-down dress and borrowed shoes, Hollie is even more stunning than the jewelry. Feisty, funny and ferociously independent, she’s all Dexter can see.

 

Hollie Lumen can’t catch a break. She thought an internship in London was her chance to escape her responsibilities back in Oregon and for her dreams to come true. When she’s fired only a few weeks after touching down, she’s ready to give up and go home. Hollie never asks for help. She knows the only person she can rely on is herself.

 

So what’s she going to do about the tall, dark, handsome stranger who keeps rescuing her?

 

She’s going to rescue him right back. 

 

 Mr. Knightsbridge is a stand-alone romance.


✯✯5 Dexter Filled Stars!!!✯✯ 



Yes!!! I’ve been dying for Louise to publish another book after finishing Mr. Mayfair bc I LOVED Beck and I fell in love with his Circle of friends! I’ve been waiting for Dexter ever since. 


Dexter works hard everyday. Dexter tries everyday to make his parents proud of the man he’s become. Dexter lost his parents in an accident when he was 19yrs old.  They were at the top of the list as being the best in the jewelry  business. Dexter was completely blindsided when his older brother sold his parents business to Sparkle, the company that had been after his parents business for years. Bc of that he hasn’t spoken to his brother since.  


Dexter has been working hard to get to where he is. He’s got stores all over the place except for London. London reminds him of his parents and until he reaches his personal goal he won’t open a store there. 


Dexter’s back in London for the time being. The Heirs of Finnish Royalty are getting married. They’re looking to pick whose going to design their jewelry. Dexter’s parents made the jewelry for the brides parents when they wed. Dexter knows he can win this competition. 


Dexter has entered the competition. He’s stayed away from London and his fellow jewelers. But, being back this time something different happened. He’s ran into people who knew his parents and they started telling stories about them. Things he knew and things he didn’t know and he found himself smiling and laughing for real for the first time when people were talking about them. 


Then Dexter sees a beautiful woman standing alone and looking at the tiara and ring his parents made and he couldn’t stay away from her. 


Holly couldn’t believe where she was standing. Holly didn’t belong in London, surrounded by these incredibly talented people, with an internship with a company looking to make jewelry for the royal family. ESP since just a few days ago she was in America sharing a trailer with her younger sister. 


Holly always loved the idea of making jewelry. She dabbled in making a few pieces here and there depending on the cost of things. She made an Etsy page and couldn’t believe that her pieces sold. 


Holly is a provider. Her parents have never kept a job long. She works hard enough to pay rent on her parents trailer, her and her sister trailer and she also pays for her sisters college. She’s putting a lot on the line to be all the way in London. 


Holly’s heard all who Dexter is. He’s the real deal in this business. They can’t seem to stay away from each other. Holly tries to deny her attraction to him but her sister talks some sense into her.  


Dexter knows Holly is still new in his business but talking to her he likes what he hears & sees from her. When things don’t work for Holly at Sparkle Dexter offers her an internship at his company. 


Holly agreed to it as long as nobody know about what their relationship is. Holly doesn’t want anybody thinking less about her. Dexter agrees bc he doesn’t wanna loose Holly yet. He’s never felt this way about a woman. 


Ever since his first relationship ended Dexter’s swore he’d never be in love again. Doesn’t  matter what any of his friends say. But, Holly’s making him feel things he’s never felt and has him rethinking things he’s always thought. 


But, even though things seem perfect it won’t end smooth. Nope things get bumpy and if they want a HEA they’ll have to work for it. 


OMG I’m in love with Dexter. I thought Beck was the man.... Dexter just tied with Beck!! My heart broke for Dex and I was hoping he’d find peace and love. Holly is from a completely different world then Dexter but man she fits into his world and looks good next to him!!


I’m excited to see which one of these guys story is next. BC, I’m truly loving this group of guy best friends!!

✯Release Review w/Giveaway✯Double Shot (The Rock Bottom Series #2) by Holly Renee

Release Date: March 20, 2019
Cover Design: Artist Regina Wamba
Photographer: Artist Regina Wamba
Model: Ripp Baker
 

Synopsis

 
How do you screw up your life in three steps? Easy. 
𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐨𝐧𝐞: Graduate from college with no prospective jobs lined up.  𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐰𝐨: Move back home with your parents because no job unfortunately equals no money.  𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞: Forget to Facebook stalk the guy who broke your heart before accepting a job in a town that has a smaller population than a frat party on a Wednesday night.  I could quit but living with my parents forever didn’t seem like a solid life plan.  Jase Hale was the golden boy. Our boss thought he was beyond talented. The receptionist sent him more flirty smiles and baked goods than was considered normal for a woman old enough to be his mom.  I tried to avoid him and his undeniable charm at all costs.  He did everything he could to get under my skin.  Every encounter left me reeling.  Every smirk made my stomach flip.  I assumed he was playing with me, just pushing my buttons like always, but when he lifted me onto my desk and shut me up with his lips on mine, I was more confused than ever.  It didn’t matter that he was trying to prove me wrong. Having my heart broken by the same jerk twice in one lifetime wasn’t an option.  He only got one shot with me and he sure as hell didn’t order a double.


✯✯4 Double Stars!!✯✯

I absolutely loved loved the first book in this series and had been waiting not so patiently for one of Tucker and Kennedy’s friends to get their story. Tucker’s sister and best friend Jase. They were hardly in book one, so I had no idea what to expect going into this. 

When Sophie turned 18 she threw herself a party at one of her parents houses. When she had enough liquid courage she made her move. She’s been in love with Jase for as long as she can remember but he’d looked at her as his best friends little sister. But, tonight was different. When they’re alone and both let their walls down and give into their feelings, Sophie’s brother Tucker comes looking for her. Jase freaks out and ends up leaving her alone. Sophie’s never forgave him and wants nothing to do with him. 

Now that she’s graduated college and moved back home she can’t find a job. Her brother gets her an interview, but doesn’t let her know Jase has given her the opportunity to interview. Sophie’s pissed but she needs a job. The minute she sees him her thighs and jaw clinch together and her heart speeds up. Sophie will stay away from him as much as possible. 

Jase has regretted walking away from Sophie all those years ago. The minute he sees her he knows being around her everyday at the office just might give him a heart attack. But, he wasn’t lying when he said she was the best qualified for the job. He’ll just stay away and continue showing his boss he made the right choice when he left him in charge. 

Jase and Sophie did their best to stay away from each other. It just continues proving to be difficult. Sophie’s team leader is a jerk and Jase helps her with a few things. Maybe they could just be friends. 

Until a kiss leads to more and these two can’t seem to keep their hands off of each other. It doesn’t matter if they’re at the office or home. If their close to each other it ends up with them tangled in the other. 

When Sophie’s brother comes back to town to get married is when the test of them will be. When, how and who will tell Tucker and what will the outcome be. There’s still another obstacle in their way. Will one of them run away or stay. 

I read this in one day. These two really were great together. They spent years not speaking for nothing!!! All dumb reasons. I get why Jase ran, Tucker’s his own family and he didn’t wanna loose him. As much as I wanted to smack Sophie I had to keep reminding myself she was only 18yrs old and embarrassed I do get it. 

All in all this was a good read. But, the one thing I had things that weren’t believable. All that sex they had in the office. He’s her boss and if these two weren’t doing each other, they were arguing or ignoring each other. I’m not sure how nobody heard any of that. Other than that I really liked this. 


Now, if Holly goes back to both Tucker and Kennedy’s roommates and friends. Bc, their stories I’ve been anxious for lol.

✯Review✯Work Song by Danielle Allen

Synopsis

When society tries to put you in a box, knock the walls down. –Tati Green

“You have a pretty face” is such a back-handed compliment. It’s like telling me that my face is beautiful, but the rest of me is not.

Despite what society says, my curves are hot.
My love life, on the other hand, is not.

My mom says I’ll never find love because of my weight.

My sister says I’ll never find love because of my personality.

My almost-fiancé says I’ll never find love because I’m incapable of loving anyone.

My mom and sister are full of it, but my ex kind of has a point.

At twenty-seven years old, I’ve never been in love. I date a lot, yet sparks never fly. But when I experienced the heart-pounding, skin tingling feeling for the first time, I didn’t think it would be caused by a guy I’ve never met. And I damn sure didn't think he would end up holding my future in his hands in more ways than one.

Tati has never been in love before. She's been in relationships before. But, never felt that certain spark. With Wes it's different. Talking to Wes is different than any other guy that's ever been in her life. Tati originally called him her "work best friend" then realized she was crushing on him. But, he lives in Cali so it's OK. Until he gets transferred to NY working in the same building. Now, Tati is more confused than ever before.

Until he gets transferred to NY working in the same building. Now, Tati is more confused than ever before. 

This was a nice quick read. I loved the back and forth between Tati and Wes. Their flirting whether it was thru emails, texts, phone calls or in person. I loved their "weirdo" "brat" nicknames for each other. It was all really adorable! Wes is the absolute perfect friend and boyfriend. Wes would've done anything for Tati. Including moving to NY to be closer to a woman he fell in love with over emails, texts and late night calls. I loved how he knows he what he wants and isn't afraid of the consequences. Now, Tati is where my blood boiled. She came very close to making me throw my kindle up against the wall closest to me more than once. Yes, in order for her to become a sports writer that means she'd be in a job that is dominated by men. Which is why she never crossed that line with the men she worked with or the athletes who came across her desk. But, Wes was different. She knew it and felt it. Yet, I felt like poor Wes took the brunt of Tati's confused feelings. Even though I understood them and respected for she dealt with her work/personal relationships.

Danielle wrote this book beautifully. This is not my first book by her either. The only other book I've read was Love Found In California which was a novella in a  3 book novella series. I will tell you she shocked me BIG time in this book. I mean it was an "OMG! WTF,did that just happen?!" Yes, I legit yelled that lol. I'm glad I got to read this and am really looking forward to reading another book by her.
