The Reel Deal (Big Star, Small Town #3) by Mia Summers



This site has moved, please fall in love here

The third book in this series and my third Mia Summers book. Jake Leonard was introduced in book 2 as Logan's friend in a toxic relationship and now he's the star of book #3. Delilah is taking care of her grandmother in the small town of Elk River after an accident that led to a broken foot. Grandma does housekeeping for Jake and Mia must help keep up his house as her grandma is out of commission. When Jake's toxic ex shows up, Delilah and Jake strike a bargain: She pretends to be his girlfriend to get his crazy ex off of his case while she stalks him in town for the next two weeks and Jake will help Delilah get her art into a gallery for a showing. 

I think this book is my favorite of the series, honestly. I was so happy that there wasn't a huge focus on papparazzi, lots of beautiful landscapes detailed in the writing, and two really likable main characters. I even liked the element of the crazy ex Zoe, she's written very well to be despised. The descriptions of Delilah painting by the lake were quite lovely. Delilah's spunky grandmother Agnes is incredibly cute. My favorite thing about this book was that it didn't follow a similar formula to the first two. Very cute, closed door romance.

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
