All I've Wanted All I've Needed by A. E. Valdez

-

This was just the cutest story. 💜

Harlow's boyfriend and a long-time friend proposed after two years of dating. She said no. For the past two years, it was all about him, never about her. She wasn't even sure if she loved him like that.

To escape heartbreak, her best friends recommend joining them on a trip to Bali for yoga teacher training. She decides to and has a blast. At the end of the training new opportunity comes for a job in Seattle and she takes it. New job, new city, new start. :) She lives at her uncle's guest house, helps out at his coffee house sometimes, and starts to discover her passions.

 There she meets Acyn. They kind of start on the wrong foot when he comments that her coffee is burnt. Acyn has done his share of sleeping around but wants... more. A true relationship with someone and it just happens that that new someone is his sister's new friend. :)

It's a beautiful story of standing up for yourself, discovering your worth, going after your dreams, true friendship, and about finding the person that supports you in that, instead of holding you back.

The story is very hot, extremely romantic and the kind you just can't stop reading, till the end. :) The love story evolves slowly, it's very, very slow burn, but so worth it in the end. :)

Higly recommend it!

synopsis

Harlow Shaw feels naïve for believing in happily ever afters but she craves a love that lights her up.

She thought she had it all with her boyfriend. Until his promising baseball career overshadows their relationship and he asks her a life-changing question. It causes her to wonder if what they have is all she ever truly wanted.

Harlow is yearning for more than the curated life she is living.

A trip to Bali, a move to Seattle, and a “burned” cup of coffee lead her to a friendship she didn’t know she needed and a love so deep she can feel it in her bones.

The Sunset Cove Swimmers by Sian O'Gorman

Cat Jones is happy with her sheltered quiet life until her mom's crazy friends challenge her to say yes to everything for a month. Her first response is definitely no, but somehow she is convinced to give it a try. The first thing she says yes to is a nightly swim in the cold sea with a group of colourful characters. Next is to host a very popular daily show along the TV royalty, offered by a hot TV executive. She not only changes her life, one yes at a time but also inspires her two best friends to go along with her. I love this book! I was sucked into the story from the very start and had to read it in one swoop.  It tells the story of how saying yes to life, can change it fundamentally. Cat goes through huge personal growth, finding new friendships, transforming old ones, and new jobs and meets all kinds of people along the way, along with a TV executive who makes her heart flutter.  The story is funny, inspirational with lots of friendships of all varieties and a little bit of

Freya just lost her business, her car broke down and is being evicted. As her life crumbles around her, she realises nothing is holding her at Blossomwood.  So she goes to the French countryside. Her estranged uncle died a year ago and his house which should have already been sold is still on the market. The real estate agent that should be the best is no help. With her parents always on the road, she takes it upon herself to clean up the place and sees to the sale.  As she explores the town, she meets all of the wonderful people living there and falls in love with the town and the town mechanic. It's a lovely story, so full of French vibes that it makes you want to move to Provence. There is romance, but the best part was the growth that Freya went through and the small-town vibes. It's a bit long in places with descriptions. However, that doesn't take away the charm of it. rating❤❤❤❤ cover❤❤❤❤ book info series The Blossomwood Bay #2 genre romance, contemporary, adult publ
