BOOK REVIEW for "My Cone and Only (King Family, #1)" by Susannah Nix

BOOK TITLE: My Cone and Only

SERIES: King Family, #1

AUTHOR: Susannah Nix

GENRE: Contemporary Romance 

(Small Town, Brother’s Best Friend, Rock Star)

RELEASE DATE: July 20, 2021

BLURB:

Wyatt King isn’t looking for love…because he’s already found it. 

Too bad the woman of his dreams is off-limits. He’s not going to be the jerk who messes around with his best friend’s little sister, so he keeps his feelings bottled up and settles for acting as her protector instead. 

Andie Lockhart’s dreamed of kissing Wyatt for as long as she’s known what kissing is. But she’s long since accepted he’ll never see her as anything more than his best friend’s tomboy little sister. 

When a real estate developer threatens the beloved old house Andie inherited from her grandmother, her white knight Wyatt swoops in with his handyman skills to save the day. But the more time they spend working on the house together, the harder it becomes to ignore their irresistible attraction. 

Until the night an accidental kiss blows the lid off those feelings they’ve both kept buried. 

After that, things between them get a lot hotter—and a lot more complicated. Forbidden love, broken promises, family secrets, and jealousy all threaten to tear them apart. If he wants to hold on to the woman he loves, Wyatt will have to put everything on the line.

My Cone and Only is book #1 in the King Family series set in the small town of Crowder, Texas, home of the King’s Creamery ice company. Each book is a standalone, full-length contemporary romance that follows one of the six King siblings as they find and fight for love.

****(4) out of 5 Stars

It is sad and painful to watch Wyatt and Andie not be together in the beginning of their book (and also in the preceding novel Elementary Romantic Calculus which focuses on Andie's brother Josh and his girlfriend Mia).  Once they do cross that line from friends into something more though?  Heaven!  They are just so good together and so good for one another.  Unfortunately, things come between them. Mainly Andie's insistence that Wyatt has to publicly declare his love for her before she'll believe that he means it, and Wyatt's refusal to do so because he doesn't want to upset Josh.  Lots of antics ensue, mostly good, then some bad; but ultimately, however, they are able to work out everything so they can have their much-delayed and much-deserved happily ever after.  This is the first of a new book series about six adult siblings in a rather dysfunctional family, all of which I am looking forward to reading.

BOOK REVIEW for "Flipping Love You (Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild, #3)" by Erin Nicholas

He's the tattooed bad boy her mama warned her about.

She's his hot mess — but mostly hot — next door neighbor.

Until a two-night-stand gives them the surprise of a lifetime...

Flipping Love You 

(Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild, #3)

by Erin Nicholas

an all-new STEAMY and laugh-out-loud, 

surprise baby, standalone romance

is available NOW!

Jillian Morris is a workaholic who forgets to watch the time. And to eat. And to change her shoes. And to keep even a house-plant alive. And to have any kind of a personal life.

Now an eccentric millionaire has left her eight million dollars. And eight penguins. Yes, real live penguins. She's a wildlife vet who specializes in penguins, so that makes sense. Kind of. She can, and does, keep penguins alive and well. She now just has to move them cross-country to her friend's new animal park.

****(4) out of 5 Stars

This was yet another solid addition to the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild (and by extension the Boys of the Bayou and also the Boys of the Big Easy) series!

Jill and Zeke are absolutely darling together!  Not that anyone knows that for the majority of the book.  Jill works very hard to keep their relationship a secret.  Which, predictably, lasts about 2.5 seconds in Autre.  Even more than that, however, she makes herself so scarce that hardly anyone sees her at all.  But, true to form, the Landrys manage to eek their way into her presence.  Despite Zeke's best efforts to protect her from them.  Jill is also quite reluctant to get anymore involved with Zeke, even with his best efforts to the contrary.  Then she gets the positive pregnancy test and realizes how much help she is truly going to need with that new endeavor.  Eventually, she comes to see how the same is true of the penguins as well.  And Zeke spends all this time showing her — in big ways and small — how he can be a true asset and not a liability, as she was so afraid he would be.

In this volume, we are lucky enough to get visits from not only the Landrys of  both Bayou series, but also many old friends from the Big Easy as well.  Not to mention all of the fun glimpses of the penguins and other residents of the animal park.  I can hardly wait for the fun to continue in the next volume.

EXCERPT

He lifted a hand to run it through his wet hair.
Her eyes followed the motion, seemingly riveted on his arm. He wasn’t sure if it was the tattoo or what exactly. But he did know that Jillian was fascinated with his ink. She had traced all of it with her fingers and tongue last night more than once. And he had a lot of ink.
“I’m the guy who’s remodeling your house.”
Her eyes widened. “We’re going to be neighbors.”
He let his grin grow slowly. “Yup.”
She tipped her head back and groaned.
But it wasn’t one of the hot oh-my-God-yes groans she’d been giving him last night. This was more of oh-crap groan.
“You’re clearly not as excited about that as I am,” he said dryly. Her head came up and she met his eyes. Now there was no roaming over his half naked body. She shook her head. “It just feels complicated to live next door to the guy I’m hooking up with once a month.”
He was confused. “We’re hooking up once a month?”
“Well, that was what I was going to propose anyway. Friends with benefits, you know? After last night I thought that could be kind of fun.”
“That would be fun. Very, very fun,” he said. “But why only once a month? I’m up for that kind of fun way more often.”
“Sure. But then it turns into more like dating or a relationship or something rather than just getting together for hot sex.”
“And I take it the relationship and dating thing is something you’re trying to avoid?”
“Very much so. And living next door to you means that we’ll see each other occasionally and since you’ll be saving me from alligators on a regular basis, we could potentially turn into actual friends. And that makes the hooking up even more complicated.”
Having the sun up hadn’t made him feel any less attracted to, slightly confused by, surprised by, and definitely amused by this woman. “But friends with benefits has friends right in the title.”
This all sounded good to him. Having a neighbor he could get naked with whenever the urge struck, who didn’t want anything else from him, sounded pretty great.
“I’m just really not interested in a relationship,” Jill went on. “I’m not good at them. And I don’t really have time for them. And I don’t put the effort into them, which ends up bothering the other person after a while. Which is understandable. I’m not blaming anyone. I just really like to have everything laid out and everyone on the same page. And I like sex. It would be really perfect to be able to have amazing sex, but only when it’s convenient.”
Zeke gave a soft snort. Convenient hot sex. It really did sound pretty amazing.
“If you just want to walk through my door, only wearing a robe and nothing underneath to save time, I’m not gonna kick you out, cher,” he told her. He was half-teasing. But only half.
She finally gave him a hint of a smile. “I can just show up on your front porch anytime I want?”
He reached up and cupped the side of her head. He brought her in close and put his mouth against hers. “Any freaking time.”
