Description: February is the month of love, but not for Sophie. One week before Valentine’s Day, she learns her boyfriend of two years has been cheating on her with one of his dental hygienists. 

As much as she wants to erase any trace of him from her life, she has no choice but to face him and his new squeeze at a huge Valentine’s Day bash that has fast become the social event of the season. No way is she going alone. What she needs is a beautiful hunk of arm candy... STAT. 

Sophie’s best friend, Ellie, proposes the perfect solution to her dilemma. Her brother Tanner, the smokin’ hot surfer, just got back into town and is more than happy to help Sophie prove she’s over her scumbag ex. 

What starts as an act between Sophie and Tanner quickly swells into more. It doesn’t take long before Sophie finds herself wanting to ride more than just waves with the toned and tanned hottie. But when passion crashes over the pair, Sophie fears she’s putting her friendship with Ellie at risk. 

Can Tanner convince her to give their love a chance? Or will the bonds of friendship repel Cupid’s arrow?

Hello Readers.

I was sent a copy of this novella to read and review. Needless to say, I was pretty happy about it. I loved the prior installment to The Dating Series and definitely wanted more. This is the second installment in the series. 

The characters were just wonderful. They had depth. It is quite the accomplish to create such in-depth characters and a solid story line and the authors have once again achieved this. Sexy and fun. Flawed and perfectly adorable. A win in my book.

I am rating this novella Five Blue Books because the authors have done it again. It was an absolute joy to read. I would love to know what happened to the characters. Perhaps another novella or book for them. *Hint Hint* Highly recommend.

Description: It’s New Year’s Eve and Natalie has a rare night off from her shifts at the hospital. Determined to have fun with friends, she stops at a local store for provisions. 

There, amongst the craft beer and pork rinds, she comes face to face with her high school boyfriend, Brennan McLean. He’s a rockstar. She’s a nurse. To say life led them in different directions would be putting it mildly. Still, time hasn’t lessened the electric chemistry between them. By the end of the night more was dropping than just the ball. 

Convincing herself she could have fun without getting attached, Natalie treats herself to a weekend tangled in the sheets with him. But that lie she told herself pops faster than champagne bubbles. 

With media rumors swirling around Brennan, can the pair find a way to make their unlikely relationship work? Or will Natalie’s resolution not to get her heart broken meet a painful end?


Hello Readers.

I had heard that Heidi McLaughlin was co-writing some novellas with L.P. Dover and I could not wait to read them. As I have mentioned before, I love McLaughlin's work. I have not read Dover's prior to this. The series looked like it could be a fun read. A Date for Midnight is the first installment.

What a fun read! Truly enjoyable characters. Lighthearted at moments. Serious at others. A pure pleasure to read.

I am rating this novella Five Blue Books because it was just great. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the other installments in the series. Highly recommend for those that like quick read heartfelt romances with some steam.
