Make Believe Fiance (Make-Believe #1) by Vivi Holt


We've moved! New site is here

Set in Billings, MT. Gwen is a down on her luck, divorced waitress/3rd grade teacher and Heath is an extremely wealthy acting CEO of a ranching corporation. So when Heath is ready to take over as CEO (no acting) he realizes the fact that he's not married might be holding him back and asks Gwen to be his fake fiance in exchange for paying her first month's rent on a new apartment as she has just been evicted.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book! The Goodreads rating on it left me wondering if I'd enjoy it but I really did. The characters and plot are extremely well thought out, especially for how short this book is. The last third of the book didn't feel rushed or unfinished. The characters are likable and relatable. The Montana rancher setting makes this perfect for fans of Yellowstone. 

If you love a fake dating trope, you'll also like this book. There are some themes of Christianity/God throughout the book so it gives off a little bit of a Christian romance vibe but nothing preachy or intense. 

A well-rounded book, I definitely recommend! I'm actually reading another Vivi Holt book next!

We've moved! Please join us at the new site for updates and giveaways here Ok so, first of all this I got ahead of myselt and started this duet before Payback's A Witch arrived on my doorstep and I felt the need to finish it before I started anything else so let me hit you with a review. I'd like to start out by saying that is not my typical read. I read these on K.U. because I saw them all over BookTok and they were highly recommended. There were parts of the story that I absolutely loved but I will be the first to say that these books may not be for everyone. Here are a few of my thoughts on this duet: Spice level is 6/5. I honestly just got to the point where I was only reading the dialogue and skipping over the physical interactions when I was reading these parts because it's such a huge part of the text that I just felt kind of done with it. I don't know that it felt necessary to me. There are some really intense themes in this book. A lot of sexual abuse, phys

The Paleontologist by Luke Dumas

  We've moved! Please read along here Let me begin by saying that I won this book as an advanced reader copy in a Goodreads giveaway. This book is not something that I would normally gravitate towards but I found the description very intriguing.  Ok, now that we've got that out of the way, this book is the best one I've read in months. Dumas's writing comes off as prose at times. It's poetic and beautiful, which is definitely not lost on me. The book is so intelligently written with such an incredible story. It's got some elements of  Jurassic Park, Night at the Museum, The Black Phone all carefully rolled into a very original, beautiful and surprising story. One of the things that I really enjoyed in this book were drawings of the dinosaurs and the way that they helped bring the museum displays to life. I don't know much about them (dinosaurs) and I found myself googling a lot of prehistoric names in the barely 24 hours (after working 12 hours) this book to

  We've moved! Please read along here I started this book today and I finished this book today. What a page turner! The opening hooks you immediately and I could not wait to find out what happened.What a WILD freaking ride this book is. Countless unexpected twists and turns. I gave my husband a brief recap when I was on page 230 and he told me to hurry up and finish the book because he wanted to know the ending! This story seems to be about a maid with a tyrant Real Housewives sort of boss and it turns into something COMPLETELY different. I highly recommend this book, so good!  🌶: 0/5
