✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: Jessica Peterson’s Cash, book 1 of the Lucky River Ranch series ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: A

Tropes: enemies to lovers; hate to love; cowboy; opposites attract; small town; boss/employee (owner/foreman of the ranch)

Jessica Peterson seemed to have cornered the market on intelligent, spicy romance set in the Carolinas. Whether she writes chefs, romance writers, farmers, lux resort owner siblings, or bonds people, she finds a way to infuse romance tropes with deep issues. When she announced her foray into cowboy romance, this reader was excited because I knew she would put her storytelling stamp on this genre. And she did this beautifully in the first book of her newest series, Lucky River Ranch, Cash. What Jessica Peterson didn’t know, through the scope of Mollie and Cash’s wild journey of hate to love, was her impressive ability to capture the trauma of divorce and death in the lives of the children of divorced couples.  Cash provided an apt mirror of my own story; this capacity for storytelling leaves me wanting more stories from Jessica Peterson. 

Peterson’s newest book, Cash, is spicy, perfectly paced, and engaging. Mollie and Cash’s immediate chemistry is the initial draw to the story. Their meet cute when Cash assumes Mollie’s a spoiled socialite who turned her back on her father, sets up the emotional tether between these two. As Mollie moves between grief and ire and grief and loyalty, you can’t help but champion the coupling of Mollie and Cash. From the start of this story, Peterson held me in the thrall of her story. It’s funny, it’s tear-invoking, and it’s sweet. By the end of Cash, you will be hoping for a short time until the next book of the series, Wyatt, because the other characters in the story are just as compelling and engaging as Mollie and Cash. 

There is so much more to this new series from Jessica Peterson. I love a cowboy romance, but I’m sure she will be one of my favorite authors of this subgenre of romance. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Reviews: J. Saman’s Undeniably Convenient ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: A-/B+

Tropes: second chances; age gap; boss/employee; forced proximity; grump/sunshine; workplace romance

J. Saman’s newest story, Undeniably Convenient, invites us into the next generation of characters from some of her beloved series: Boston’s Billionaire Bachelors and Irresistibly Yours. Nothing excites me more than diving into the kids’ lives and loves of past characters. And this newest book doesn’t disappoint. 

Undeniably Convenient is one of J. Saman’s most intense and passionate stories yet. The characters, Katy (Callan’s niece from Irresisibly Wild) and Bennett ignite the pages with their fiery attraction. Their building chemistry and the complex situation that leads to a baby contract drive the story forward at every turn. Their inability to keep their hands off each other and Bennett’s alpha-male tendencies, especially in the bedroom, make for a captivating, explosive narrative.

Adding some of the other next-generation characters ignites an interest in future stories in this new series. We are granted access to the “bachelors” and the “irresistibly yours” series which grounds us in Saman’s universe. I love it when authors create universes to inhabit because we continue to get glimpses of some of our favorite characters. Saman has shown a penchant for this strategy, and I’m all in. 

Above it all, though, is a complicated storyline in Undeniably Convenient that is tricky as Katy and Bennett reconcile and realize they can have a child together. All of this is fraught with some past villains who threaten their future and a denial of their mounting emotions, holding its readers enthralled. At least, I was engrossed in Katy and Bennett’s rollercoaster of a journey.

I will say that there are a few inconsistencies throughout the story that pulled my attention way. There was simply so much going on with this story because J. Saman’s book packs it all in. 

I am ready for more of this new series. J. Saman knows exactly how to entice her audience, and Undeniably Convenient does not disappoint.

In love and romance,

Professor A

Undeniably Convenient by J. Saman is now live! 

From USA Today bestselling author J. Saman comes a sizzling-hot billionaire, second chance, boss/employee romance about a broody doctor and his feisty resident who both want a baby but nothing to do with love.

Have a baby with my new boss? Not exactly what I had in mind when I decided I wanted to try to get pregnant.

But that’s exactly the situation I find myself in with Dr. Bennett Lawson.

The ridiculously gorgeous, broody billionaire I kissed years ago is asking to have a baby with me.

We both have our reasons for wanting this and with our ugly pasts, it’s an undeniably convenient arrangement.

No love. No relationship. Strictly business.

Now I’m living with him and pretending every searing touch, whispered word, and moaned breath is all in the name of our contract and nothing more.

Even as it becomes harder to keep our hands to ourselves and our feelings separate.

But when that stick shines with two pink lines, we both know what we’ve grown addicted to has to stop.

Except what happens when everything starts to fall apart and what we promised would never happen becomes the one thing we can no longer live without?
