Well Met by Jen Deluca (Well Met #1)

-
Emily came to the small town to help her sister who was in a car accident and her daughter.

It gave her time to recover from a bad breakup. She gave up college and worked full time to support her bf, while he finished up law school. Now that it was supposed to be her turn, he dumped her.

Her self-confidence is broken and she is happy to be somewhere to lick her wound. It's also nice to get close to her sister and niece. Because they have quite an age gap they never really got that close.

There is a Renaissance fair in town, called Faire, which is a town tradition and kind of big deal. Her niece wants to sign up but needs an adult volunteer, so Emily gets roped into doing it.

There is a hot pirate she flirts with, but the guy wearing the costume and she doesn't get along all that well. They seem to start out on the wrong foot and always argue, but when they get in a costume, there is none of that and a whole lot of flirting going on.

They started out as enemies but ended up as lovers. There is drama, small-town dynamics, family issues, and new friends for Emily who is slowly settling in the town.

It's a lovely story, with the background of a Renaissance fair, that adds another dimension.

I loved the story, until about the last third of it, when it just lost its spark for me.

Callan is a former Special Forces marine.  He suffers from PTSD and spends most of his time silently helping people around him and avoiding life in general. He is antisocial and a bit of a grump, happy with a very secluded life in his little bubble. That all changes when he gets a new neighbour. Meridian is bubbly, full of life and not afraid to put herself out there. Despite the rocky start, there is undeniable chemistry between them. And although he tries his best to stay away from her, she slowly makes her way into his heart. But romance isn't all that easy. He is plagued by PTSD and flashbacks and refuses to open up. But Meridian isn't backing down. Losing My Breath is a military romance, full of funny and romantic moments and a whole lot of spice.

Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti

Naomi and Luca grew up on opposite sides of the country. In the 5th grade, they became pen pals for a school assignment and never stopped writing to each other, until 2 years ago, when the letters stopped. But the letters weren't sweet or heartfelt, they were filled with hate and mean words, and they always tried to outdo each other in their insults. Slowly, over time, underneath all those jabs, a friendship developed. Naomi works at the TV station as a weathergirl. And then she received a new letter at work, from Luca, but without his new address. She and her friend go on a whole adventure to find him, flying across the country, and finding more about his life along the way. At the same time, the cute neighbour asks her out and they start to date. There is this insane chemistry between them, but her heart is torn between two guys. It's so so good! I couldn't put it down. It's funny, sweet and heartfelt all at the same time... and there are many steamy scenes too! :) Hi

Werecats Emergent by Mark J. Engels

Pawly is just a normal teenager, thinking about going to college and playing ice hockey, until one night, when her brother is in trouble, she transforms into something totally different. She discovered that she inherited a family curse. Under duress, she transforms into a werecat.   The story is told from two POVs,  Pawly, as she discovers her powers and deals with everything that comes with them, good and bad, and Ritzy, her uncle, whose story reads more like a thriller. The world created as a whole is well-developed and full of details, that make it more real as you read the story. There are historical tidbits about the werecats interwoven that make the story come alive. The setting just jumps from the pages, and the whole Werecats lore is very well written and established. There are betrayals, family drama, tension at every turn and enough action to keep you glued to the pages. I really liked the story, but it's a very complex one, so I was often confused about what was going on
