Three stories!

I had read and reviewed IOU a long time ago. I really liked it, gave it 5 stars, and I also really loved the narration.

The second book, The Pretender, was just too confusing. Maybe I needed to read it along at the same time because it was going back and forth all the time. I was nit impressed with it, but would give it 3.5 stars.

The Closer was awesome. Maybe the characters were much more fun than in the previous books in the series. This one definitely deserved 5 stars. I loved it. It was my favorite of the three.

3 books for 1, all so good.

IOU-

It’s not often I find a book that gets me from the very first page. This book starts with a bang, it also makes you fall in love with Ainsley the main character from the moment you start reading. She is all of our spirit animals. She is so bada$& and tough. She knows her value from the start. I think that is my favorite part about her. What you see is what you get. Their is no fake Ainsley.
And let’s not forget Maverick. Oh maverick. You are so beyond swoony. He also takes sexual tension and dirty talk to an epic level. Everyone knows dirty talk is my catnip. Plus his entire family is the best. The relationship and the dynamic is gold. This book made me so happy. I had never read a single one of this authors books, but I’m about to do a deep dive. Loved this book and can’t wait to see what else I have in store.

The Pretender-

I have been waiting for this book to come out. After reading the first book in the series IOU all I wanted was more from this author. I really liked this book. It was a little longer than I anticipated and took me longer to finish than I thought it would. I adore the premise of this story. In a day when everything revolves around social media and how to become famous it made sense for there to be a story based on that. Vee (Valentina) is Sebastian’s (bash) neighbor. They have a prank war that they record for their version of YouTube. Something happens that you don’t find out about till almost the very end of the book that makes them enemies. But the sexual tension and attraction is still there. They decide to work together to win a competition for this fake social media world in order to get more “subscribers.”
Bash is the fun care free player who is super funny. Vee is the Tom boy hard girl. She takes care of herself and plays by her own rules. They fake being a couple in order to win the competition. Obviously sparks fly. The sex scenes and sexual chemistry were lava panty worthy.
I will say I was not expecting the ending at all. I love that it wasn’t predictable. I loved that they grew together and learned from each other. I adore each characters little quirks. Also if you are a fan of Kristy Marie’s earlier series starting with Commander you get a lot of their kids in this with little views of the grown ups. You also get more build up for the future Aspen and Bennett book. I can’t wait for that one.

The Closer-
I adored this book. I thought I would hate a fake relationship/baby book. Those are not my tropes. But this was done so well, and so quirky that I forgot how irritating those tropes are.

You can’t help but fall in love with grumpy AF cooper. He is the best kind of grump with a heart of gold who doesn’t take no for an answer.

Mack is stubborn and a weirdo but you just love her antics. She is just so unique. I love the way she talks with Cooper. I love her f-ing wrench. I love her crazy yelling.

Cooper takes her and lives every part of her. Connor Crais literally plays the best dad in everything. The way he talks about kids and babies makes even my wore out uterus quiver. He is so good in this. heather firth is spectacular in all.

This was exactly what I needed in my life. So much fun and so many big feels.

Fantastic Collection

This was my first read by this author and definitely won’t be my last. These 3 books got better and better. Funny, spicy, and a good story… even a few years. They have it all!

3 amazing books in one!

Thanks to Kristy Marie and Wordsmith Publicity for this audiobook copy of 21 Rumors! We’ve got three amazing stories and some great narrators so I was so excited to listen to all three books!
 
IOU, by Kristy Marie: 4.5/5 stars
 
Maverick is the King of Favors. You need something? He will provide it… as long as you now owe him a favor. Ainsley, our FMC is desperate for a place to live after “accidentally” setting her old apartment on fire after catching her now-ex cheating on her. When she turns to Mav, neither of them expect to be so drawn to each other.
 
This is a great book with amazing banter and spice, and the first book of Kristy Marie’s I read a while ago so getting to listen to it was a super special treat. The narrators were great, and I loved the book just as much this time around.
 
The Pretender (formerly Subscriber Wars), by Kristy Marie: 4/5 stars
 
Valentina and Sebastian (Maverick’s best friend) are rival pranksters on social media. These former friends had a falling out (just wait until you hear the reason- so amazing and unexpected and made me laugh so hard) but now must work together to win a social media competition. If you love fake dating, influencers, and great main and side characters, this book is for you. Out of the three in the 21 rumors box set, this was probably my least favorite, but I still very much enjoyed it. Kristy Marie has never let me down when it comes to banter and spice and this box set (and book) is no exception.
 
Last, but certainly not least…. The Closer, by Kristy Marie: 5/5 stars and MY FAVORITE OF THE THREE
 
I didn’t think any book would top IOU (my previous favorite) but OMG The Closer has done it. We follow Maverick from IOU’s younger brother, baseball star Cooper and his meet-cute with down-on-her-luck McKinley, or Mac). This book has some great tropes like marriage of convenience, and the friendship between Mac and Pops (Coopers grandfather), which started before Mac and Coop met, is the icing on the top of the cake.
 
Poor Mac has been through way too much, and I really felt for her struggles. Cooper is such a supportive fake-husband and the way they both grow together throughout the book seemed so realistic and natural. I will now be recommending this book to everyone I can because it blew me away. I can’t wait to read (and listen to) more by Kristy Marie.

3 wonderful books

Three intriguing, funny books that wonderfully run into each other. My one critique as a tachycardia patient that has had her heart stopped twice to get the rhythm corrected. They inject two different medications simultaneously and just before you black out it feels like a ton of bricks falls on your chest crushing all your breath out of you. Oh and they do not let family members bedside to hold your hand.

Rumor has it...

Rumor has it... This series is freaking AMAZING and Hilarious! Each book is better than the last. Such a fantastic group of friends and family. This series gave me all the feels. I was laughing one minute and on the verge of tears the next. The couples are realistic and easy to relate to. Their stories are so heartfelt. I listened to one book a day and fell in love with each couple. All the couples have their own set of trials to overcome to get their HEA. My favorite was Cooper and Mac. These two just pulled at the heart strings. This series is a must read. Once you start you will not want to stop... It has everything from enemies to lovers to fake engagements. Do not hesitate to one click this series. It is a 5+ star series.
I received an audiobook from the author in exchange for my honest review.
