The Kiss List by Sonya Weiss – a Review

Description:

All Haley Bowman has ever wanted was her One True Love. But now, with her cousin getting married and Haley back in her small town, the pressure is on. Good thing she’s got a foolproof Kiss List, full of potential OTLs. Her parents knew they were soul mates at their first kiss, so surely Haley will know the same. All she needs to do is…well, kiss each of these guys…

Enter Max Gallagher: bane of Haley’s existence, her nemesis since childhood, and, unfortunately, as a local, her way in with all the guys on the Kiss List. Max wants nothing to do with love and certainly nothing to do with Haley, but he can clear the way for her to get to know the guys on the list. Of course, he wants something in return: to be made a partner in Haley’s family’s business. One kiss for relinquishing her hold-out vote on Max.

But the more time Max and Haley spend together, the clearer it is that there’s a paper-thin line between love and hate. Max will have to decide between the job he’s always dreamed of or the girl of his dreams before his fate is sealed with someone  else’s kiss.

 

Review:

The Kiss List by Sonya Weiss is the first book in her Love List series.

Max and Haley have been enemies for as long as people can remember. He lived to irritate her, she just wanted to graduate and move away. She always intended to come home, settle down and have a family. 

Haley’s come home, but not to start a family, she’s hiding. After being dumped and it being filmed, this went from bad to worse. Going viral only made it worse, gossips made it twice as bed, and Haley is in hiding. 

Max needs to get away from his family, after watching his brother and girlfriend leave town together, he has to watch them come back and join the family business. He’s extremely bitter, and wants nothing to do with it all. 

Working at the Bowman’s family business is the way out he needs, he can work there full time and maybe become a partner. 

The enemy to friends has never been a favourite genre of mine. But the laughs along the way in this book smooths the way. 

Max and Haley both vehemently deny any attraction between them, and in fact if Haley helps him smooth his way into a partnership with her dad, then Max is happy to help Haley find a date for her cousins wedding. 

But the more time they spend in each other’s company, the more they see that person in a different light. 

But when his brother and ex-girlfriend turn up and she’s pregnant, it brings it all back crashing down around his head. He pushes everyone away, including Haley. Can Haley convince Max that she won’t break his heart? 

A few surprises that kept me reading, and the inevitable kiss and turn around….. From enemies to friends to more. 

It’s a fun read.

The Firefighter’s Cinderella by Sonya Weiss – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple

 

Description:
What’s a Cinderella to do when she’s accidentally kicked her Prince Charming in the face and broken his nose? Hold an audition, of course.

Harper Bailey is desperate to keep her family’s amusement park business up and running, but her employees keep quitting, and the man playing prince to her Cinderella in the company’s mainstage show is just the latest casualty. When sexy firefighter Rafferty Bradford, the most eligible bachelor in their small town, offers to step in, Harper agrees–reluctantly. After all, she and Rafferty are ex-best friends with a ton of past history. Surely they’ll have zero chemistry onstage.

Rafferty has his own reasons for agreeing to play Prince Charming, and none of them are good. If Harper finds out the truth, it’ll just reinforce every rumor she’s believed over the years about Rafferty’s bad rep. But when their chemistry explodes both onstage and off, he’ll have to choose between happily-ever-after for himself…or the Cinderella he’s fallen for.

 

 

Review:

In The Firefighter’s Cinderella by Sonya Weiss, let’s get past a small town could possibly entertain TWO amusement parks.

Let’s ignore the best friends who use to be inseparable, why did they fall out? And they have both been burnt by love, why would they put themselves through it again?

Ignore all that and you have a fun read. It’s part of a series, but you don’t need to read the previous ones (I haven’t and I didn’t feel I missed anything)

Harper needs a Prince Charming, and pretty fast. Her family business is relying on her, and she can’t fail them….. Enter her ex-best friend, who as kids, she and Rafferty were inseparable, but one moment it’s all over; Rafferty moves on, and Harper is left healing a broken heart.

Rafferty is a player, a love them and leave them guy, but there is a reason, and when he walked away from Harper, he thought it was for the best. He misses his best friend, but not enough to ever offer her a ring. But if she had an itch, then he’s the guy to help with that.

The town thinks that Rafferty and Harper should be together, and trying to convince everyone they are only together for the amusement park is proving harder than they thought. Except would it be so bad, just to give in?

Rafferty is hiding something, and when Harper finds out, it could end their newly formed friendship. It’s a fun read, no smut, but lots of laughs. Got to love a matchmaking granny.
