TLC Book Tours Book Review: Wild Wedding Hookup

A South Beach bachelor party stirs up a scorching affair in USA TODAY bestselling author Jamie K. Schmidt’s Wild Wedding Hookup!

Concierge Mikelina Presley works for a luxurious resort club in sunny South Beach, Florida. She’s thrilled to land a two-week booking for a bachelor party at one of the resort’s most expensive villas—not least because the fiery chemistry between her and best man Bastian Ainsworth is deliciously tempting.

When the groom-to-be suddenly disappears, Mikelina and Bastian team up to find him, bringing them closer together. Their irresistible desire for each other is dangerously distracting, but the stakes are high for both of them: if they don’t bring back the runaway bachelor, Bastian’s little sister will have her heart broken. And Mikelina’s resort stands to lose out on the group’s lucrative booking—which would be devastating for her career.

As the search takes them all over South Beach’s sexiest hideaways, their racy fling becomes something much deeper and Mikelina finds herself falling for Bastian. But she hasn’t told him everything about her past, and a shameful secret weighs heavy on her mind… Can their passionate affair survive the truth?

Review:  Wild Wedding Hookup is the kind of romance that takes me back to the summers of my high school years. The summers I'd spend with a pile of Harlequins next to me in my yard while I worked on my tan on a picnic bench.

Sure this book is a lot sexier than the ones I read...to many years ago, but Mikelina and Bastian's story was just the right kind of fun that kept me turning the pages.

There was a lot of great drama from Mikelina's family issues and even more so with Bastian's family, as his sister's groom to be is a bit...uh ...flighty!

These two had great chemistry and they shared some really sexy moments.  OK they shared a lot of sexy moments, but that's what makes these types of reads so fun.

The conflict at the end was a bit predictable, but it was still a satisfying HEA for these two.

It was a great quick summertime read!

TLC Book Review: A Spark Of Romance

Is she out of reach?

Fire Chief and former Army sergeant Kayleigh Baker is determined to save Mulberry’s annual Fourth of July fireworks display. She doesn’t want to disappoint the kids and the fireworks are a bittersweet memory of her mom’s last summer. As the town prepares for the summer parade and picnic, Kayleigh works to convince her former high school crush — now the straight-laced police chief — to help her cause.

Does he stack up?

Police Chief Liam MacAvoy doesn’t like the chaos the fireworks cause for his department and can’t hide his relief when they’re cancelled. But now he’s got the woman he’s been in love with for as long as he can remember asking for his help. How can he say no? What he’d really like is to show her that fireworks and town traditions are not the only things worth fighting for.

Can the boy next door and the town hero find the courage to finally seize their chance at love?

Review: OK this is probably the best fourth of July book you can find. First of all our heroine is the fire chief and she was an Army sergeant. Can we get a yay for finally having a military woman in a romance. Our hero is her former high school crush and now chief of police.

So we've got all the makings of a great small town romance. A little far fetched because what police chief or mayor or whatnot actually wants the July 4th fireworks display to be cancelled. Its just not realistic. Sure they always bring chaos, but they also bring $$$. So a little realism would have made this storyline work better for me. Also a little research on fireworks laws in Pennsylvania would work too, as the commercial type needed for a display would not be sold along the road

Kayleigh's mom was always in charge or organizing the display before her death so that makes this tradition close to her heart. I can totally appreciate her wanting to keep her mom's memory alive, but she did put her heart before her head an awful lot.

The relationship she has with Liam and Evan is great. She is really just one of the boys, unfortunately and though there is an unspoken crush between her and Liam, she doesn't try very hard to make him see her in a non-friendly manner, so to speak. I had a hard time seeing any chemistry between the two of them, just a lot of unspoken romantic angst.

This is a sweet story filled with small town drama and all the other things that you expect from these types books. So just lose yourself for a few hours in a rather delightful little read.
