Review: Some Call it Love - Book #1 Sweet Dreams - Sarah Peis - November 2020 In a way, this book reminded me a bit of a fun Beauty and the Beast romantic comedy tale. Willa's father is a gambler and now he has gambled away too much money and owes a couple of loan sharks. One of them Jameson Drake has come to collect and since Willa's dad doesn't have the money, he has come to Willa to collect. Now she has 24 hours to come up with the money or else. Since she hasn't got that much cash lying around, she now will become indebted to Jameson Drake. He has a way for her to pay her dad's debt by being a receptionist/office manager at the Mechanics he owns. Now Willa is trying to juggle her two jobs and college classes to pay her dad’s debt. What will happen though when she starts to fall for Jameson Drake? Is she suffering from a case of Stockholm Syndrome or are the feelings both mutual? However, just when things are starting to look up for Willa - another set of loan sh...

Review: The Spark - Sylvie Stewart

  Review: The Spark - Book #2 Caroline Connections Series - Sylvie Stewart - November 2016 Are you in the mood for a romantic comedy? Wanting something with a bit of a suspense and thrill to it? The Spark first drew me in by the cover as it had a cutesy feel to it and I just expected this to be a sweet romance. Instead, The Spark by Sylvie Stewart had me laughing out loud as I read through the book. Inside it turned out to be a Romantic Comedy/Suspense tale. We are introduced first to Fiona Pierce, who comes across a bit of a ditzy air head that comes from money. She is also sarcastic and a bit of a smart-aleck and seems to rub her best friend's partner's friend Mark up the wrong way. When the two of them are in a room, all they can do is pick on one another and treat each other horribly. When Mark's father comes back into the picture, trouble follows as Mark's family are thrust into the middle of loan shark debts as the loan sharks threaten ...
