Egomaniac ~ Vi Keeland



 photo Synopsis black scratch_zpst2tpkl6v.png

The night I met Drew Jagger, he’d just broken into my new Park Avenue office. 
I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills.
He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing. 

Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant.
Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all. 

Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office.  He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated.
Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent. 
I was swindled out of ten grand.

The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.  In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place.
I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients.  But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind.
I never expected my body to react every time we argued.  Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do.

The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships.  And my job was to help people save their marriages.
The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing. 
And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day.

Egomaniac was super fun, sexy, sarcastic and emotional. Drew and Emerie are fun and flirtatious characters you can’t help but love. Their dynamic is hilarious from the start. I love how rude and arrogant Drew is, but still lovable. Emerie is quirky and finds herself in awkward situations. She cracks me up and the spot she has herself in with Drew is an interesting one.
The side of Drew that we don’t see initially breaks my heart. The reason he is so bitter and single-minded to end marriages makes me super angry for him. His belief that relations ships can’t work is just sad. Considering Emerie’s job is to keep marriages together.  Can we say “Irony”?
When Drew lets Emerie stay, she realizes there’s more behind the sexy body and the arrogant attitude. He has a huge heart, that and the fact that they get all feisty when they argue. Talk about super-hot!  These two sizzle, so I was hoping all they could get though all the drama because they fit each other so well.

I always enjoy Vi’s writing. She makes you love the main characters and want to punch their adversaries in the face. The story is easy flowing and I flew through the book quickly.

Until We Collide ~ Charlotte Fallowfield







What do you do when the guy you’re in love with is seeing someone else?

That’s the dilemma facing Paige Taylor. All of her life she’s only ever had eyes for the gorgeous Alec Wright, but despite their undeniable chemistry, their timing has always been off. Fast approaching her thirtieth birthday, Paige despairs of ever finding love and a happy ever after. Her best friend Poppie tells her that she can either watch life pass her by, or grab it with both hands. She convinces Paige to throw herself back into the dating pool, or she could be waiting for Alec forever.

What Paige didn’t expect was the catalogue of dating disasters to follow. A neck brace, jelly fish, stitches, flashing and an encounter with a gorilla were some of the most memorable. Despite some downright hilarious, humiliating and cringe worthy dates, her biological clock is ticking and Paige is determined to keep trying until she finds the one. 

Was Alec Wright always her Mr. Right, or is he still out there waiting to be found?

Join Paige in her quest to find the ultimate prize. Love.


 I Loved “Until We Collide!” While this was a RomCom, make no mistake, there were situations, conversations and scenes that hit me right in the feels. I was rooting for Alec and Paige the whole time, but every time they would cross paths and it “not be the right time,” I started to think maybe they weren’t meant to be together. Each time that happened, it broke my heart for them a little more.


From the moment they met, you could tell they had intense feeling for each other. Even through cow spray (you’ll have to read to know what I’m referring to), you could tell they liked each other, but they were so young. Even though Paige was pining for Alec the whole time, I knew he had to have liked her, despite dating someone else.

Through each disastrous date and boyfriend fail, I couldn’t help but crack up laughing, but then my heart would crack a little more that Paige couldn’t find happiness. No one could hold a candle to Alec. And when Alec would come around, you could tell he wanted Paige so bad, but he was a good guy and committed to whatever girlfriend or job he was doing. It still made me scream at my kindle that the two needed to get together already, but I digress.

When the time came that both Alec and Paige made the choice to move on, I had tears in my eyes. Paige is such a beautiful, sweet, funny, often clumsy, but funny person, she deserved happiness. If she had to be alone to achieve that she would and she would wish Alec the best. I’m not going to tell you what happens, but know you will be cracking up at all the adventures Paige goes thorough trying to find her happiness.
