[Release Blitz + Review] One More Time by J.H. Croix


πŸ’œNEW RELEASEπŸ’œ
We are excited to celebrate ONE MORE TIME by J.H. Croix is LIVE!!


ABOUT THE BOOK.

A swoony, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

How we met: I got a black eye.
Where we met: At a wedding. Not mine! Marriage is a NO for me.
Our first date: We’re not dating. Cross my heart.

True story: Jack Hamilton gave me a black eye when we met. He didn’t throw a punch, but he did open a door right into my face. On the same day I was a bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding.

My head spun when I took a good look at him. Maybe it was running full-force into a door, but maybe it’s because he’s melt-your-panties H-O-T. Oh, and he’s a hotshot firefighter.

But I don’t date, and I don’t ever intend to fall in love. It’s all so simple. Until the chemistry that’s hot enough to melt me nearly does. Maybe Jack can help with that, what with the whole firefighting thing.

No one warned me that a good man could make me forget all the reasons why love is a bad idea.

Jack & McKenna’s story is perfect for readers who love: hotshot firefighters, emphasis on H-O-T, slow burn, he falls first, billionaire heroine, small town gossip, emotional romance with a dash of angst, oodles of swoon, and a cinnamon roll hero with a protective streak who will do anything to take care of the woman he’s falling for.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

MY REVIEW.

3.5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cute Small Town Romance.

In One More Time, we get up close and personal with McKenna Cannon, the only sister in Alaskan Royalty, the Cannon family. As this was my first book of the series, I’m not too sure about the family, other than they are loaded and quite popular in the small town and of course, have lots of skeletons in their rich closets.

I liked Jack and McKenna, however they both held on to their pasts pretty tightly, especially her. She is late twenties now and still holding on to what her high school boyfriend did to her, shaping the way she feels about men so many years later. I get they both had a reason for not wanting kids, but sheesh, it was brought up in every single conversion they had after only meeting a few times. Theirs was an odd warp speed romance if you will.

Set in a small town that knows all the gossip about each other, there was no hiding for Jack and McKenna, so they decided to finally stop trying. Along with our main couple, there are a lot of family members involved in the story to help keep it moving forward.

The book was well written, however slightly clunky and slow for my liking. Finally, towards the second half the author let a smidge of angst out of the gate, but not enough to keep me fully invested. One More Time reads ok as a standalone, I did feel like I was missing some pretty important Cannon family moments to appreciate them talked about in this context.
