Housemates With My Billionaire Boss

Lila Marlow

Free from author Print length: ‎ 98 pages Publication date: ‎ February 13, 2024

"The billionaire and the librarian…? Yeah, that could totally be another title for this book. I’m a jobless foreign language translator. So, when an opportunity came up, I packed my car and hit the road. Destination: The Waltons property, Moore, Massachusetts."

Cute clean romance. Set in a small town that happens to have a huge mansion with three single billionaire brothers living in it. Sign me up. Callum and Gloretta are supposed to be American but come off as British. There are a few words or phrases that aren't used in America, not even Massachusetts.

A billionaire with a terrific library and a librarian looking for a job. Perfect set-up for romance. Throw in a mystery and it added up to an enjoyable short read.

June reading wrap up

In June, I completed six books :)

Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch: I loved this book so much. I bought it on recommendation from my favorite Booktuber Merphy Napier, who gushes over it. The only thing I disliked was the language. It was rather coarse.

Oceans of Mercy by Mallory Ford: I enjoyed this one. Friends to lovers, one of my favorite tropes. The mystery took a back seat to the romance, which wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't a deal breaker.

The Maid in the Mansion by Fiona Grace: I hated this book. It started out okay, but took forever to get to the murder mystery. Once the murder finally did happen, the falsely accused trope made its appearance and I despise that trope. I read one page a day until I finished it because that's all I could stand to read at a time.

No Other Place on Earth by Sheillagh Herrera: I loved this book. It made me cry several times. Sometimes, happy tears, much more often sad tears. A bittersweet, happy ending.

Last of the Mohicans by James F. Cooper: I liked this book okay, but it was way too long. The plot points repeated themselves several times and the characters were too similar and I kept confusing them.

and Thyme to Depart: I loved this book :) A romance story on the side that didn't take away from the mystery, and old house being restored, all fun parts of a good story. The ending made me roll my eyes a bit, as I do not believe in ghosts, but I still enjoyed this one a lot.

If you’re looking for a captivating read with all the feels, look no further. Tangled Hearts (The Huntington Brothers) Clean Romance by Sara McClaflin ➱ Book Release & Giveaway

"Don't make promises you don't intend to keep."

Even at age 16, Malcolm Huntington knew his childhood best friend, Lila Chen, was his end game. So making a pact to marry his first and only love when he turned 30 was the easiest promise to keep.

Except for Lila, the pact was easy to make and just as easy to forget, believing her best friend could never let her down. She just didn't expect life to distract her with a penchant for solving crimes and falling for someone who wasn't Malcolm.

Despite drifting apart over the years, Malcolm kept an eye on Lila from the background until surprising circumstances pushes him toward her side once again. Even with his heart on the line, Malcolm won't hesitate to fight for her and show her the love she deserves.

Single Dad Boss - 2023 - Daisy Flynn

Free from author A Brother's Best Friend Clean Romance Publication date‏: ‎ August 15, 2023 Print length: ‎ 89 pages

“Watch the LOVE DIVA get fired by her boss AND boyfriend!” There goes my credibility! How can I give advice when my relationship just failed spectacularly in a viral video?"

An enjoyable quick read. Clean, well written, likeable characters, the female lead was an angry witch at first but she had her reason. Second chance romances are sweet and have so much hope for the future in them. Natalie and Sebastian are both successful in the television world and wind up being a perfect match in business and life. The point of view switching from her to him was a nice touch, not too much inner dialog which can get tiresome. The book is a short story so things had to escalate quickly but it didn't feel too rushed.

Reading adventures!

I...uh...somehow have 6 books going at once, lol. It started as a joke, but I got legitimately pulled into each new one I picked up.

I'm still reading Last of the Mohicans. I am finally over the half way point. It suddenly got very sad. I was not expecting the surrender of the fort. Heyward is very sweet in his devotion to Cora. I also wasn't expecting the book to get that dark. I'm unsure where the story is going from here, but I'm enjoying it.

I'm about 80% of the way through Lies of Locke Lamora. I had to take a mini break from Locke's shenanigans. What a reckless guy, lol. His strategy to get clothes from the Duke guy was very clever. I was really sad to see the twins and Bug get killed. I still don't think it was Locke's fault, although I really think he's dumb for attempting to go back to the Salvara heist.

I picked up The Maid and the Mansion first. I'm unsure if it is a murder mystery, or just a mystery. It's very lighthearted so far, although there seems to be some kind of mystery surrounding the mansion. I hope the romance that was hinted at will come to pass. They seem cute together.

I also picked up Oceans of Mercy. This is a Christian romance. It has hinted at a very sad backstory. It's friends to lovers, which is one of my favorite tropes. I like the main character Ally, although I hate that she is nicknamed Al. I'm enjoying the antics of her relatively big family. It's fun to read about a marine biologist, a field of study in which I have no experience or expertise.

I also picked up No Other Place on Earth. This is a historical fiction. It is set in pre-WW2 Europe and Israel. So far, there are three main characters-Shlomo, Miri, and David- each in a different place and with their own set of friends and family. I feel like it will become very difficult to keep them all distinct if I don't really pay attention.

Lastly, I picked up I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist. This is a non-fiction Christian apologetics book. I am excited to read this one and see the logical arguments the authors use. I have only read the prologue so far, and it seems very interesting.
