Oh, how I've missed reading romance. It's been a lot of fantasy and sci-fi for me lately, so now I felt like a pure romantic book. And I must say I choose good. This was a breeze to read, even if it made my heart squeeze multiple times.

Dax loses his parents and gets custody of his 13-year old sister. Kailyn is the lawyer responsible for the sister’s trust and becomes conservator for her, as well, when their aunt sues for custody. It’s just that Kailyn and Dax had a thing for each other in college and did not end on the best of terms. And starting anything now isn’t exactly the ideal situation.

What I liked about this book was the characters, I guess. The relationships between them and the way they handled the situations they were put in. Emme is probably the one a rooted most for, because she was a sweetie. I don't know if she was written accurately, though. Sometimes, she did not read like a thirteen-year-old - either younger or older. Still, she made my mommy-heart ache at times. I also liked Dax and to see his struggles as he tries to make a good life for his sister and himself.

I also liked how Dax and Kaylin were with each other. Their relationship is really two adults falling in love. There's some difficulties, considering the tragic loss, custody battle and the fact that Emme is Kailyn's client. Still, they always respect each other. And I actually really like reading stories where the woman makes the mistakes and has to make amends and be forgiven. As long as it’s not something totally unforgivable, which I don’t love not matter the gender.

Anyway, I’ve ranted about how much I dislike it when characters doesn’t communicate and don’t tell each other stuff because “reasons”. Well, this kind of toes the line. It's a kind of ridiculous "issue" that makes Dax mad, but I guess it could be taken out of proportion if you're under a lot of stress. I just don't see why Kailyn wasn't honest from the beginning, but I guess it is what it is. 

I recommend this to everyone who wants to read a sweet contemporary romance with two consenting adults, a brother protecting his young sister and a woman falling in love with them both in different ways, with a touch of depth and lawyers.

Steamy, sexy, romantic and sweet by Rachel Reid

Author: Rachel Reid Title:  Heated Rivalry Publisher: Carina Press Published: 2019 Genre: Contemporary/sports romance Links:  Amazon  /  Storytel  /  Goodreads Would you look at that, yet another book that has been read because I spend too much time on social media. This time @escape_in_a_book is the felon who made this book present in my tbr. She told us that this is one of the best M/M-romances she's ever read and the  best sports romance. I tend to agree. Not being majorly interested in sports, I don't usually go for it in romance, either. But it happens. This time, I'm glad it did. Heated Rivalry starts out with a hockey game from Shane's POV. It leads to defeat and then a sexual encounter with his biggest rival - Ilya Rozanov. Apparently, this is a thing they do and have done for seven years. Then we're taken back to their first encounter and it all goes down(hill) from there. This book was a pure delight. Being kind of sick of dram...

Sikta Högt av Heléne Holmström

Författare: Heléne Holmström Titel: Sikta Högt Förlag: Lovereads Genre: Romance Länkar:  Bokus  |  Adlibris  |  Goodreads Sikta högt är den fristående uppföljaren till Falla Fritt , en av mina storfavoriter inte bara förra året, utan överhuvudtaget. Det är alltid nervöst att ge sig in i samma värld, med glimtar av samma karaktärer, när det kommer en ny berättelse. Jag kan ju gärna överhajpa… Men här var det inget att vara nervös över. Holmström fångar in mig direkt med undran över vad en maffiaboss skulle ha gjort. Victoria är en karaktär som jag känner mycket för - hon är fyrtio, nyligen skild och har ett riktigt svin till exmake som verkar leva för att göra livet svårt för henne. Hon har gett upp mycket för honom och har inte ens ett arbete att komma tillbaka till. Dock ger hon inte upp. Drömmen om ett eget barn, ett stabilt liv och det faktum att hon är en stark, smart och självständig kvinna, får henne att jobba hårt och visa framfötterna. Erik är ocks...

Epic love story, Jane Austen-style by Huda Fahmy

Author: Huda Fahmy Title:  That Can be Arranged Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing Published: 2020 Genre: Graphic novel Links:  Adlibris  /  Bokus  /  Goodreads Huda Fahmy brings it once again. Having loved her Instagram-feed and previous book [book:Yes, I'm Hot in This: The Hilarious Truth about Life in a Hijab|40538900], of course I had to read this one as soon as it arrived at work. Judge me all you want, but I read this instead of working (although I do work as a librarian, so it could count as work), as I did with the other one. And this was good. I loved little Huda and her parents. I also liked how she described her thoughts about marriage, going from longing for it, to being kind of reluctant, to believing getting married was what defined her, to realizing a man and marriage doesn't make her a better or more worthy person. I loved her discovery of Jane Austen-novels and how she could see herself, her family and her situation through thes...
