Wet By Cambria Hebert Release Blitz!
Title: WET
Series: Westbrook Elite #1
Author: Cambria Hebert
Genre: College Sports Romance
Release Date: July 12, 2022
BLURB
Making decisions I regret is basically a hobby.
So I guess it really wasn’t that surprising when I went out on a date with an Elite.
And then he tried to assault me.
I might be small, but I’m not meek. I fought him off… then went straight to the dean.
He didn’t believe me. No one does.
And now my date from hell is in revenge mode, and I somehow end up in the campus pool.
Did I mention I can’t swim?
Lucky for me, a knight in shining armor saves me from drowning.
Except he’s not wearing shining armor. He’s naked.
And he’s also Elite.
Seriously, what is up with these Elite swimmers?
Of course, I have no intention of ever seeing his very good-looking, naked highness again.
Elite obviously can’t be trusted.
Until he wraps me in his hoodie and promises to believe me.
Now I’m drowning again—but this time in his enigmatic cobalt eyes and addictive touch.
My only oxygen is him. I think I maybe could fall in love.
But will he keep his promise when I tell him the truth about his teammate?
Or will trusting Ryan with my heart and my life be just another decision to regret?

EXCERPT
“Aurora Coin, who goes by Rory but hates it when I call her that, so I call her Carrot, which she says she also hates but really secretly loves.”
I rolled my eyes. Why is he so charming?
“Who is also really good with a camera, grew up in Chicago, acts like a rottweiler even though she’s a chihuahua, uses all my shampoo, and insults my Jeep and my clothes.”
“Are you trying to ask me out or make a bullet point presentation?” I wondered.
He mock-gasped, pressing a hand to his chest. “I’m being romantic.”
“Some of these things sound like insults,” I pointed out.
He chuckled, and damn, if it didn’t make my stomach flutter. Shuffling forward, he reached for my hand, entwining our fingers. “But they’re not. They’re just some of the reasons I want you. You and only you. Be my girlfriend. My only.”

Review: WET
WET by Cambria Hebert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A fantastic new adult romantic suspense I could not put down! I read this book in two sittings, and it would have been one if sleep and work didn't get in the way. This story gave me all the Hashtag series vibes I've been missing in my life. Rory and Ryan are my favorite kind of instalove! They are thrust into each other's lives quite forcefully and their whirlwind lust filled connection embodies young love. I felt all the emotions that they go through and it gave me all the feels. I also loved the side characters that were introduced in this stand alone! Jamie, Wes, Maxen and Madison, were fantastic supporting characters and I look forward to their stories! I hope this is not the last book for Rory and Ryan! I would love to read more about them and their future.
This book has content warnings at the start of the book and I recommend readers check them prior to starting this book as it deals with sensitive topics.
I absolutely loved this book and can't wait for everyone to meet Ryan, Rory and the Westbrook family.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review

Review: The Crash
The Crash by Skye Warren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a fun and romantic prequel novella setting up for an interesting story. I enjoyed meeting the characters and getting some background information. This book doesn't have spice but does have tension. And it has left me wanting more, I can't wait for the rest of Carter and June's story.

Review: From Lukov with Love
From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have had this book on my TBR for a while and finally came around to listening to it. It was my first Mariana Zapata and what they say is true this is a sloooow burn. I found some of the book dragged a little but once I got into the story I couldn't put it down

Review: Love Lessons
Love Lessons by Sarina Bowen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Crikey! Vera and Ian are a match made in Brooklyn Hockey Heaven!!! This book is a little bit enemies to lovers, neighbors with a grudge turns dating coach while on vacation in Italy. Taking place during hockey's off season you get to see some of the behind the scenes between seasons, but this is not a romance that takes place on the ice. I wish this was a picture book, with visuals of all the clothing. Vera is a stylist (who we meet in Shenanigans) and the fashion is such a big part of this book.
When Vera's ex reappears in her life, Ian becomes Vera's seduction coach, to teach her how to make him regret leaving her behind and win him back. Ian and Vera's banter quickly turns into the hottest sexual tension. It is clear early on that the feelings are developing, and it amps up the heat between these two. I love some of the creativity in the bedroom scenes. There is a unique quality to them that you don't often get in romance novels (and thats all I will say about that).
This is a 4.5 star read for me with 5 star narration. There were some parts of this book which were similar in nature to Shenanigans, the previous book in this series, and I was a little disappointed with the repetition. There were also some pieces of the characters back story that were touched upon but I think if more time was spent on them it would have enhanced the connection between Vera and Ian. That said I could not put this book down, and I never wanted it to end. I loved getting time with some of our favorite couples on vacation including Castro and Heidi Jo and Neil Drake and Charlie.
I loved every moment of this audiobook. The casting of Joe Arden and Rose Dioro was perfection. Joe brought out the husky confidence and internal insecurity in Ian and Rose was the perfect blend of independent fashionista and single girl seeking a second chance with the wrong guy.
I received an ALC of this book and voluntarily give my honest review.
