Top 10 Week! My Favorite Book Boyfriends of 2019




These are my favorite book boyfriends from books I've read in 2019. These guys know how to keep a girl's attention! They are in no particular order.

Avalon from Set in Stone by Kylie Stewart. Who knew King Arthur was so swoonworthy?! That word doesn't do him justice at all. He's guarded, steamy, broody, intense.. and so much more.

Check out my review of Set in Stone
Jack from Marquess to a Flame by Emily Windsor. Jack talks a big talk, but he's super cute on the inside... a bad boy with a teddy bear heart.

Check out my review of Marquess to a Flame


West from Devil's Daughter by Lisa Kleypas. Finally getting West's story was well worth the wait. His personality is so much fun, and that energy seeps of the pages.

Check out my review of Devil's Daughter
Andrew from The Edge of Reason by J. Saman. I love when the smolder seeps off the pages. This guy? He's the King of Smolder.

Check out my review of The Edge of Reason.


Julian and Legend from Finale by Stephanie Garber. I can't pick just one. They both deserve to be on this list for different, mystical, magical, intoxicating reasons.

Check out my review of Finale
Somebody Nobody from Tell Me Three Things. He won me over three things at a time.

Check out my review of Tell Me Three Things



Rhett from Helix by Mary Ting. His persistence and dedication to Ava is beyond compare. Rhett gives me warm fuzzies all over.

Check out my review of Helix.
Garret from Every Minute by C.J. Burright. He's entertaining and steamy. When Garret is around, there's fun to be had.

Check out my review of Every Minute.


Brek from Going Down on One Knee by Christina Hovland. He's Mr. Wrong in all the right ways. Whew!

Going Down on One Knee by Christina Hovland
Finch from All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. It's been weeks since I read this book, and I'm still thinking about Finch. That says something. Also, he broke my heart, but I'll never forget him.

Book Review: The Edge of Reason by J. Saman





The Edge of Reason (The Edge Series #3) by J. Saman
Genre: Adult Fiction (Contemporary Romance)
Date Published: November 4, 2019
Publisher: Self

I have a certain set of rules I try to live by. Rules that have always served me well. Until now…

Rule one: Don’t have sex with someone you work with.
Rule two: Don’t have sex with your friend’s ex-boyfriend.
Rule three: Don’t have sex with your best friend who also happens to be the same ex-boyfriend of your friend.
Rule four: Don’t ever, under any circumstances, fall in love with your best friend.

I guess it’s safe to say, I officially broke all four of my rules.

Doctor Andrew Albright. Sexy, arrogant, insanely gorgeous, and eternally off-limits.
Not only is he still in love with my friend, his ex, but he’s my rock. My perfect best friend.
The one person I cannot lose under any circumstances.
Especially when my life has a habit of falling apart on a regular basis.

But one mercy kiss later, to save me from an awkward situation, and suddenly everything changes. He flirts relentlessly. Corners me in dark hallways. Throws me panty-melting stares that render me helpless.
I crossed the uncrossable line. Broke every damn rule.
Now our perfect friendship is falling apart.

And he’s doing everything he can to keep it that way…

THE EDGE OF REASON is a funny, sexy, and emotional best friends to lovers, STANDALONE romance.


The Edge of Reason is the third book in J. Saman's The Edge series. This book completely enveloped me from the start. I thought it was going to be another light friends to more story, which is one of my favorite kinds of love stories, but it turned into so much more. I mean, it did start off light and fun, and I was already loving it, but as it progressed, it got a little deeper and darker. These characters are both damaged and flawed in their own ways. I love how they fluctuate between fun and flirty and this serious, hard intensity. You could really feel the chemistry between them. There are many issues they work through together.. some are quite unexpected. Their story was gritty and raw... and as it turns out, a bit dangerous. It was completely enjoyable and a smidge naughty. I will have to get my hands on the previous books in this series now!

The ARC of The Edge of Reason by J. Saman was kindly provided to me by InkSlinger PR  for review. The opinions are my own.

author
J. Saman loves all types of novels, but finds herself always going back to writing/reading romances. She's addicted to Diet Coke and sour candy, and swears way too much. She's an admitted lover of picking at old wounds, second chance romances, love triangles and the perfect amount of angst . She writes smart, strong women and sexy alpha (slightly nerdy) men who have a softer side.
