Because.. why not?

Welcome to Fool's Gold, California, a charming community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. There's lots to do and plenty of people to meet, especially women. Because there's just one tiny problem in Fool's Gold: the men don't seem to stick around. Maybe it's the lure of big-city life, or maybe it's plain old bad luck, but regardless of the reason, the problem has to be fixed, fast. And Charity Jones may be just the city planner to do it.

Charity's nomadic childhood has left her itching to settle down, and she immediately falls in love with all the storybook town has to offer—everything, that is, except its sexiest and most famous resident, former world-class cyclist Josh Golden. With her long list of romantic disasters, she's not about to take a chance on another bad boy, even if everyone else thinks he's perfect just the way he is. But maybe that's just what he needs—someone who knows the value of his flaws. Someone who knows that he's just chasing perfect.

My review:

I was in the mood to read a great new series, one that involved romance (but in a totally non-cliché way) and deals with realistic scenarios. I was browsing through the Kindle e-books section of Amazon and stumbled upon this beauty.

From the getco–like any great book–we're introduced to the protagonists and the plot. Not gonna lie though, I was kind of hesitant due to the fact I was afraid it was going to be repetitive in terms of plot. But you can tell right away that although there are similarities in characteristics, the way Mallery goes about the progress is interesting.

While I won't go and spoil anything, let me just say that Charity is such a great character. She doesn't let the reputation of Josh deceive her and she builds up her own opinion of him. I mean, she literally tells him straight up that she won't fall for whatever BS he throws her away. *snaps* Although I didn't get the flutters for Josh at first, I like the fact that as the story progressed, so did he. To me, he was arrogant and honestly believed he could get close to Charity because his reputation followed him. But he got a (sort of) wakeup call and went about his emotions in a total Jessica-approves-way.

There are other characters introduced that will make comebacks as main characters in the other books in the series, BUT they didn't take the spotlight off Charity and Josh. I TOTES shed a few tears in terms of emotion and laughter. But I definitely ~swooned~ towards the end (as you can imagine it was a HEA).

If you’re reading this, there’s something I want you to know!

Thank you!

For taking the time to view my blog, even though it’s in its newborn state. I will be providing some reviews on upcoming books (if I’m able to) and already released ones. They will be ranging from young adult contemporary to new adult LGBTQ+, so hopefully there will be a range of content to go through. Or just talking about standalones or series and hoping you’ll join me in discussing them. Also, I make no promises, but I hope to be able to do some giveaways/contests in the near future when the blog is more active.

But for now, I just wanted to welcome you. If you have suggestions on what to review, whether upcoming or already released, please go to the “Contact Us” link and let me know!
