How To Kidnap A Fake Date By Effie Campbell

It’s going to be a killer of a good time…

Sweet Maggie Hamilton comes from a long line of people paid to professionally end lives.

Unfortunately, Maggie is a family failure.

Age? Twenty-nine. Kill count? A deeply embarrassing zero.

So when her father decides to marry her off to her psychotic ex at thirty to help her take over the family business, Maggie hatches a plan for the world’s worst fake relationship to buy some time.

Which is where broad-shouldered, bad-tempered, offensively attractive Roman Ellis comes in. Maggie’s neighbour, who is about as interested in her as he is in a slow, painful death.

But Maggie isn’t offering him a choice. With Roman tied to the passenger seat, she’s taking him as her plus one to her father’s second wedding in the Highlands.

All Maggie has to do is survive the week without dying, murdering anyone or letting anyone in a house of professional killers know that her serious long-term boyfriend is actually her hostage.

Unfortunately for her, Roman isn’t going to make it that easy.

A Million Meet Cutes By Ashley Reece

Christina has always wanted her movie-perfect meet cute. Surely this would mean he was The One?

So she is shocked and amazed when one day she has very own meet-cute – sadly, the guy is most definitely NOT The One.

Over the weeks that follow, Christina finds herself encountering meet-cutes everywhere she goes – but she is still single. Plus, she’s becoming fed up of getting tangled in dog leads (even if the dog owner is extremely handsome) and her car breaking down (even if the recovery guy is extremely handsome). Even when she is on a date, she has another meet-cute with a different guy.

What does it all mean and is this the way to find the perfect guy, or have her beloved romcom movies been lying to her all this time?

Review Card & Book Review- How Not To Fall In Love By Karla Sorensen

A bad-boy NFL star meets his match in a feisty single mom with this sweet, steamy, and emotional novel about second chances and breaking the rules of romance.

Raising my ten-year-old son, running an animal rescue, and caring for my grandfather leaves zero time for complications, let alone cocky athletes who get under my skin. Too bad the universe didn’t get the memo.

Because a big complication just crashed into my life—literally—in the form of towering NFL quarterback Archer Evans, sentenced to community service at my shelter after a scandal. Despite his mistakes, I try not to judge. He’s got demons of his own, and even though he’s made it perfectly clear he wants me, the last thing he needs is a wary single mom seeing the vulnerable man beneath the muscles and the attitude.

Though I’ll admit, I’m tempted to look.

Not that I’d cave. With his notoriety, Archer would never make it past date two of my eight-date rule. I want simple. Safe. He’s too successful. Too arrogant. Too everything. The definition of complicated.

But as the walls around Archer start to crumble, so do mine. And this complication feels suspiciously like love.

I made the rules. Maybe it’s time I broke them.

About The Author

My Review

This Book is about a guarded single mom and a self-sabotaging football star who unexpectedly find healing, hope, and love together. In this story,, Remi devotes her life to her son and the dog rescue where she works, while Archer, a professional quarterback, struggles with destructive habits that threaten every good thing in his life. Their first meeting is brief and electric, but fate brings them back together when Archer’s community service lands him at Remi’s rescue.

The slow-burn romance is filled with emotional growth and genuine character development. Remi’s instinct to protect her son Gavin creates believable tension, while Archer’s determination to become a better man gives the story heart and depth. Watching him soften, grow, and prove his worth is incredibly satisfying, and their chemistry is both tender and sizzling.

The supporting cast—especially Archer’s sister Analise and Remi’s close-knit circle—adds warmth, humor, and emotional richness. The story balances heartfelt moments with playful banter and meaningful challenges, creating a layered and engaging romance. Overall, this is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply satisfying love story about trust, healing, and choosing love despite fear.
