The Happily Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez

Sloan Monroe lost her fiance two years ago and has pretty much devoted her life to his memory. 

Jason is an up-and-coming rockstar who was on a walkabout in Australia when his dog sitter lost track of his dog, Tucker.

When Tucker jumps into Sloan's heart and her sunroof (literally), Sloan has no choice but to break out of her mourning routine and contact Jason but is unable to reach him.

The lack of response convinces Sloan to keep Tucker, not only because she loves the dog, but because having to take care of him has begun to heal her heart and her life. 

But when Jason returns to civilization, he wants Tucker back, and Sloan doesn't want to comply, a challenge Jason sees as an opportunity to meet the sexy-sounding Sloan. But Sloan's not sure she's ready to allow more than just Tucker into her heart. 

The Happily Ever After Playlist is a fun, flirty, rom-com that will have you rockin' out and smiling the whole way through.

 (Not) Your Basic Love Story By Lindsay Maple

Attending her best friend's wedding in Mexico alone was not Rebecca's plan, but when her boyfriend cheated, she had no choice. However, when Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome, Dev - a Canadian Sikh, sits next to her on the plane, she thinks her luck is changing. That is until he throws up on her. 

Disgusted, Rebecca flees the airport and heads to her hotel, only to find that she's grabbed the wrong luggage. She quickly makes arrangements for a swap and learns Dev is the one with her bag. And while he's eager to make amends, Rebecca is not having it, despite her obvious attraction to him. 

It's not until the two meet again at a beach party that their chemistry can't be denied. After a firey night together, the two become inseparable. But between her ex, his culture, and their feelings, things get extremely complicated. 

Lindsay Maple does a great job of balancing heavy issues with heat and humor. The story will give you all the feels and I highly recommend it.

 The Fastest Way to Fall by Denise Williams

Britta wants to advance from editor to journalist at the lifestyle website company where she works. When she signs up to participate and critique a fitness app against her rival coworker with a rival app, she's sure she's got the new position in the bag. But what she doesn't anticipate is the hot fitness coach who seems to be flirting with her. Lines begin to blur and emotions run high, and Britta starts to worry about the ethical dilemma of her situation - should she risk her job for a man who could be her 'one' or come clean and risk losing him. 

This story had great stakes, and the writing and tension between the main characters were strong. However, there was something about the love interest being the main character's fitness coach while she comes to terms with her body that kind of put me off, just a little bit. I still enjoyed it, though, despite my hangups.
