Guys Like You by Charleigh Rose
My Thoughts <3
Halston and Sully- this novella will have you laughing and then sighing throughout the entire book. The way everything works out is just freaking adorable, not to mention super freaking hot! Charleigh Rose gives you a complete novella with two out of this world characters that just somehow seem to mesh, but it is definitely a little touch and go.
About The Author

End Goal by Ella Fox
My Thoughts <3
Addison and Law’s story started years before this novella takes place, but things are finally becoming crystal clear and they are thrown back together in an unusal circumstance, but is that exactly what these two need to finally figure out stuff between them? Read this one FO SHO!!!
About The Author
USA Today Bestselling Author Ella Fox has learned a bunch of stuff along the way but the most important of all those things is that anything is possible when you try. In 2012 she took a big leap of faith and published her first book, Broken Hart. Since then she’s written fifteen more full-length books and several novellas– and every one is a reminder that you can live your dream as long as you work for it.
Ella’s favorite things are music, movies, traveling, The Foo Fighters and, of course, reading. This isn’t a surprise considering the fact that her mom is USA Today Bestselling Author Suzanne Halliday.

Love Game by Emma Scott
My Thoughts <3
A story about tennis, I freaking love tennis, but I have to say that I loved Kai and Daisy even more. I have no clue how the author was able to deliver so much information in just a small novella, but we have the backstory of the two, how they are brought together, and how things play off. Gahh, I freaking loved it!!! I highly recommend checking out this heartfelt read that helps you overcome your past!!

Dear Ava by Ilsa Madden-Mills
My Thoughts <3
This book just hits you straight in the fills. It might be just a little novella, but it packs a huge punch!
Ava is a fighter and she will not give up even after everything that happens to her. When she returns back to school months after a terrible incident she resigns herself to be hard, but is not expecting the biggest bad boy of them all to seek her attention. Knox is freaking perfect and I adore him SO MUCH. I recommend this novella to you so freaking much because it was an amazing read, but I love Ilsa Madden-Mills, so I knew this would be just as good as others, but I never expected all of the feels I have after reading it! <3

Fair Catch by Kate Stewart
My Thoughts <3
Ahhh, Harper and Lance’s story!! This book was hilarious, sweet, and just down right good. Unlike the other books in the story this one was longer than just a typical Novella, but there was a CLIFFHANGER! Y’all, I almost freaking screamed at the end of the story because I want to know, wait no- I NEED to know what happens between these two. Because you haven’t read it yet, but there is a hugggeeeee twist and it is a bit devastating. Other than that, I am a huge fan of the book and recommend you read it- ASAP!

Fast Break by Kennedy Ryan
My Thoughts <3
Welcome back to the HOOPS world! Ean and Quinn give you hope for all the misfits out there that there is someone who is just right for you. Le sigh, so freaking sweet and a little slow burn because Ean might be a “robot” but he is one of the sweetest freaking guys I have read in a long time. Definitely recommend this complete novella with these two strong characters!

Arena Lights by Mandi Beck
My Thoughts <3
Maeve and Benny’s novella was short, hot, and sweet. I freaking love Maeve, she is the more reserved type so catching the attention of playboy Benny, who happens to be her brother’s roommate, is definitely something different for her. When a trip draws them closer to each other will the give in to the attraction or will they let the heat sizzle out?
I freaking adored this novella, the characters were perfect and even though it was a short read, it did not feel rushed or anything. You should definitely read it!!
About The Author
Mandi Beck has been an avid reader all of her life. A deep love for books always had her jotting down little stories on napkins, notebooks, and her hand. As an adult she was further submerged into the book world through book clubs and the epicness of social media. It was then that she graduated to writing her stories on her phone and then finally on a proper computer.
A wife, mother to two rambunctious and somewhat rotten boys, and stepmom to two great girls away at college, she shares her time with her husband in Chicago where she was born and raised. Mandi is a diehard hockey fan and blames the Blackhawks when her deadlines are not met even though her favorite hockey player calls her…mom.

The Strike Out by Meghan Quinn
My Thoughts <3
Way to leave us hanging Meghan! As you can tell– major freaking cliffhanger, this was just a little tease in preparation for Holt’s full story coming soon. I have to say that I knew Holt was a good guy, but he is freaking one of the best of them and Harmony is a freaking spitfire as well! These two’s interactions are hot and hilarious and is a great teaser for what is to come!

Body Heat by Rochelle Paige
My Thoughts <3
HOT, HOT, HOT– just like the title of the book. Sera and Rowan are an entire inferno! I have not read the other books in the series, but man do I want to now. When tough as nails Sera guards Rowan after he finds to have a super zealous stalker, what happens when their chemistry gets in the way?
Sera was not just fiesty, this chick is like legit tough and I freaking loved that. Rowan is not just a playboy player, he is sweet and kind and lives for his mother. I loved everything about this little novella!
About The Author
I absolutely adore reading—always have and always will. When I was growing up, my friends used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.
I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it.
When I told my mom that my new year’s resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me, “About time!”

My Thoughts <3
Back to the Douchebag series and FINALLY we get Rex’s story! Y’all this made my heart so freaking happy, while laughing out freaking loud, reading.

I am happy to say that this book was absolutely just what I needed and wanted to read!!

A Slice of Love by Teagan Hunter
My Thoughts <3
Frankie and Jonas have major history, but after HS and Jonas breaking her heart, Frankie completely changes herself and tries to put him out of her head. That works until he starts working for a pizza delivery place while training to go back to the pros and delivers a pizza to her place. Is this the start to a beautiful reconnection or will things just crash and burn between them? Read the book to see– but the journey is definitely fun to read and I loved every part of it!
About The Author
I’m a Missouri-raised gal, but currently live in North Carolina with my US Marine husband and 9-year-old dog. I spend my days begging him for a cat, and I survive off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When I’m not writing, you can find me binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. I like cold weather, buy more paperbacks than I’ll ever read, and I never say no to brownies.
Writing is my passion, and this is just the beginning of my journey.
