Book Review: Grounded by Kate Forest

Grounded

by Kate Forest 


Goodreads

Amazon


Biologist Julia won’t tolerate another frigid Chicago winter studying the frozen Great Lakes. But with every hour of her flight delay, her chance on a research voyage in Florida slips further away.

Jeremy must get to Florida to sever the noose-like obligations of his family's boating business so he can become curator of a Chicago museum.

Stuck in an airport, waiting out the snowstorm of the century, can two travelers headed for opposite paths find love while trapped in Concourse B?



My Rating:


Favorite Quotes:



I shook myself.  It was only natural to get turned on by a guy who buys your pastry.



He blushed.  Jeremy, the over-confident art curator and son of a gazillionaire blushed.



My Review:



Grounded was a quick, enjoyable, sweet, and light and frothy read.  The characters were adorable and highly relatable and the storyline was relevant and entertaining.  Perfect for cleansing the palate between the more angsty and tautly intense books on your TBR, as this smartly written, pleasurable, cleverly observant, and well-detailed story left me with an amused smile and a relaxed sense of contentment.  I quickly added Ms. Forest's other book to my TBR.

New Release: Grounded by Heather Young-Nichols


Title: Grounded
Author: Heather Young-Nichols
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Hosted by: Beautiful Promotions


Alyssum Bracken sets out in search of Jensen Burkhardt…

After a longtime feud over copper between the Gremalian and the Gobel races, she hopes he has inherited his father’s legendary abilities as tensions rise to a breaking point. But when she finds him in faraway New York, Alyssum discovers she didn’t reach the handsome gremlin first. Aric, a rival goblin, is already ensconced in Jensen’s life.

However, Aric Bramble isn’t the enemy…

Courageously risking exile to save both races from a bloody war, the unlikely trio decide to work together. A forbidden friendship with Aric, a first love with the noble Jensen, while juggling her father, their leader, the prejudice of her people against the Gobel—and Aric’s people trying to kill them all—might be too much for Alyssum to handle.

Jensen’s strength is the one thing keeping Alyssum grounded, but will their relationship be threatened by her friendship with Aric?

Will any of them even survive the coming conflict? Alyssum isn't sure…but she’s going to try.
