Celebrity Crush by Christy Swift


Celebrity Crush by Christy Swift is dreamy romance !  Emmy Ellison has written a book on about her celebrity crush, but without his name.  She gets to meet him, help him with some PR, and try not fall in love.  

This was a delightful book for me.  Emmy is a wonderful character that I enjoyed getting to know.  Her life has had some twists and turns, but she is positive and trying to make the best of it.  It was fun to visit the world of Hollywood, and travel there with an author.  The story had great humor, banter, and a happily ever after that made me smile.  It was fun to think about what would happen if you met your celebrity crush and were immersed in their world.   The author does a good job of helping you to feel like you are attending those interesting Hollywood parties.  

I enjoyed the humor, setting, and romance.  I appreciated that the story was closed door, full of chemistry and great romance.   A great read that you will enjoy.  I highly recommend Celebrity Crush by Christy Swift

I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.

When Alec Met Evie by Jenny Proctor


 
When Alec Met Evie by Jenny Proctor is a fantastic clean hockey romance. This is part of the Appies Series, but you do not need to have read the other books to enjoy the story. Evie is moving to North Carolina with her four-month-old daughter as a single mom.  Her best friend connects her with her older brother, Alec, in case she needs anything. Evie had a crush on Alec back in the day. What does today hold? 

I adored this story! Alec and Evie had great chemistry, a sweet friendship, and were so likeable.  What a joy to read about two people working hard to make a relationship work. The story wonderfully wove together both of their lives and the secondary characters added greatly to the story.  The setting of North Carolina, hanging out with the Appies Hockey team, and sweet baby Juno contributed to making this a story that will stay with me. I may have to buy a Appies hockey jersey soon.

This is a well written hockey romance with characters that I loved and engaged with! I highly recommend When Alec Met Evie by Jenny Proctor.

PS I feel like I have been missing out since this is my first book by Jenny Proctor. I will remedy that.
