Cat's Review of The Unlikely Pair Audiobook by Jax Calder @jaxcalderauthor @neonrainbowarcreviews @tammystwocents X- @TTCBooksandmore

What happens when you find yourself stranded in the wilderness with your political enemy?

Toby:

Getting stranded in the freezing wilderness with my archenemy wasn’t on today’s to-do list. But somehow, that’s where I’ve ended up.

Harry Matheson, my political rival, has always been smarmy, arrogant, and entitled. It figures that even this plane crash has barely ruffled his well-coiffed hair.

It’s all fine, though, because our pilot has gone to call for help and rescue should be imminent.

Fast forward a few frigid hours…

Umm…maybe it’s not so fine because it appears our pilot is part of an international terrorist group intent on kidnapping us.

Now Harry and I have to flee through the wilderness—together.

Unfortunately, being adept at political debates and parliamentary procedures doesn’t exactly prepare you for the basics of finding food, keeping warm, and evading the local wildlife while playing high-stakes hide-and-seek with armed terrorists.

The only way Harry and I have any hope of surviving is to stick together.

The problem is the line separating hate and love has begun to blur, and the last thing I need is to fall for my enemy.

The Unlikely Pair is an enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a romp through the political wilderness where hearts, quite literally, go off the beaten path.

Cat gives the Audiobook 5 Meows for the story and 5 Meows the performance...

This book is so good. I was looking forward to Toby's story but wow i didn't expect this. 
It's amazing. 

It's exciting. The characters are awesome the plot is spectacular, nail-biting, suspenseful. Everything you'd expect from a great story.

The narration really makes it. It adds excitement and that accent you just can't give yourself (unless your English) 

Its forced proximity and enemies to lovers at its very best. 



Jax's stories are all about light-hearted conversations and deeply-felt connections. She loves exploring exactly why two characters are the only ones who’ll make the other truly happy, and the journey they take to reach their happily-ever-after.

Cat's Review of Faking It Right: A Friends-to-Lovers MM Romance (Straight Detour Book 1) by Ariella Zoelle @ariellazoelle @neonrainbowarcreviews @tammystwocents X- @ariellazoelle @TTCBooksandmore

A fake relationship with his best friend is either the worst idea Ryker has ever had or the plot twist his love life desperately needed. 

I’ve always been straight. Like, straighter than the pole my sister’s girlfriend uses for her exotic dance cardio class. But that doesn’t mean I want to go on another one of my mom’s blind date setups, which have historically been as successful as using a flamethrower to fix a bad haircut.

To avoid my mother’s disastrous matchmaking attempts, I ask my openly gay roommate to pretend to be my boyfriend when we go home for spring break. You know, the one who’s been trying to get in my pants since freshman year with the determination of a squirrel hoarding nuts for winter. What could possibly go wrong?

Other than Harley has a gorgeous face that makes strangers walk into street poles, the body of someone who actually uses his gym membership, and enough charm to talk his way out of a speeding ticket while getting the officer’s number. Naturally, I say yes when he offers to show me why my dating history with women can be summed up somewhere between “meh” and “this is why my therapist deserves hazard pay.”

And just like that, my membership to the Straight Guy Club is permanently revoked. Oops?

Faking It Right is a steamy, laugh-out-loud MM romantic comedy featuring a bisexual awakening everyone saw coming except Ryker. It also stars a flirtatious best friend with the subtlety of a glitter bomb and a bad date so absurd it could be a case study in chaos theory.

The Straight Detour series explores what happens when sexuality takes the scenic route. The road to true love always begins with a wrong turn and ends with the liberating realization that your heart doesn’t care about the rules you thought you had to follow.

Cat gives this book 3 Meows with a 4 purr heat index...

It's a really good friends to lover's story.  

The characters are funny, and you have Rykers meddling family that means well. 

The story is funny and sweet.

It is college age characters, fake dating, found family and keeps you laughing. 

It just drug out a bit long for me. But overall, a good read.



Ariella Zoelle adores steamy, funny, swoony romances where couples are allowed to just be happy. She writes low angst stories full of heat, humor, and heart. But sometimes she's in the mood for something with a bit more angst and drama. If you are too, check out her A.F. Zoelle books.
