Going the Distance by Cara Addison

     I received a copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.  I read this book in two settings and I found it to be fun and fast paced.  The plot made me wonder, more that once, about the personal lives of my favorite authors! Our leading lady, Austin, is an author and attending San Diego to promote her new romance novel.  While there she meets Brett and they strike up what is suppose to be a week long romance.  As fate would have it,  a week is just not enough.  The story showcases their growing feelings for each other and how they handle their long distance romance.  It was fun and not for the faint of heart or someone who does not like reading hot, erotic love scenes.  Ms. Addison is one hot writer and I thoroughly enjoyed reading her descriptions of Austin and Brett's encounters.  I found it amusing when she shared Brett's reactions to her writings.  I could almost see the interaction between them.  I love it when a book is written so well that it reveals itself to me as actual visual scenes in my head, and this book did just that.
If you're looking for a fun book with an HEA, pick this one up and enjoy!  Well worth the time and effort.

Business Pleasures by La Davis

     I  need to preface this by stating I was given an advanced copy of this novella by the publisher in return for an honest review.  This was a short read, approximately 50 pages, but it was fun and held my interest.  Our hero and heroine, Kenton and Aimee, were a warm and believable couple.  They made me want the best for them.   As Aimee's story was revealed, I found myself wanting her to be able to trust and believe in what could be, regardless of what had happened before.  It was a fast paced story and I did find myself wishing it was longer, with more background on both characters.  However, it was well worth the time and made for a nice quick read before going to bed.  Ms. Davis is a wonderful writer and she did not disappoint with this offering to her readers. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment in this series and you would be wise to pick it up to enjoy also.
