Sarah Adams — Books Review
The books I’m reviewing today are written by Sarah Adams. So ‘The Cheat Sheet’ is quite popular on all platforms and if I like a book by a particular author I go ahead and read the backlog of the author. I also found that she had written four more books so I had to check them out!
Spoiler reviews below!

“The Cheat Sheet”
Ratings — 🤍🤍🤍🤍/5
Review:
The book checks out several tropes, fake dating, friends to lovers & mutual pinning. The cutest thing was at the beginning in the book when Bree relies on Magic 8 Ball once and soon enough we see Nathan asking the magic 8 ball for advice. It shows are similar the characters are to each other. It’s a cute & wholesome read.
Tropes: Fake Dating, Friends to lovers, Celebrity Romance, Sports Romance

“The Match (It happened in Charleston Book 1)”
Ratings : 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Review:
Another book discovered via Instagram, this book has everything! Single dad romance, clean romance, a little slow burn!
The thing that stood out the most for me was this quote from the book,
“I’m squirming because Jake is the first man in a long time that I’ve wanted to look into my eyes and convince me that I’m worth something. I really can feel myself falling for him, and falling in love with someone on a first date is definitely not slow material.”
This was so adorable!

“The Enemy (It happened in Charleston Book 2)”
Ratings : 🤍🤍🤍/5
Review:
3 stars for this book because I couldn’t really reason with June sometimes. She was holding on to a grudge after so many years that wasn’t even worth holding on to. What irked me the most was the fact that Ryan pranked on & bothered June was because he liked her?!
“Has it never occurred to you that the only reason I picked on you in high school is because I was crazy about you? Or that messing with you was the only way I could get you to look at me?”
Just didn’t sit right with me.
What I really liked was:
He smiles, and his eyes fall and settle on my mouth. “June, I’m not your enemy.” Those dark eyes hold my mouth for five heartbeats before they pop back up to meet my gaze. “I never was.”

The Off Limits Rule (It Happened in Nashville Book 1
Ratings: 🤍🤍🤍✨/5
Review:
The book was a nice read but the trope of the single mother romance was hardly shown in my opinion. The book just didn’t have enough scenes with the kid to make it a single mother romance. Cooper & Lucy’s romance felt a bit insta-love but overall it was a sweet read.
The cutest thing was the salon scene, where Cooper decides to go the salon Lucy works. It’s actually kinda adorable!
This was my third book by Sarah Adams but it just wasn’t for me. After reading The Cheat Sheet & The Enemy, this wasn’t what I expected.
Genre/Trope: Clean Romance, Contemporary, Slow Burn, Single Mom, Brother’s best friend
The Temporary Roomie (It Happened in Nashville Book 2)
Ratings: 🤍🤍🤍/5
Review:
I did not enjoy going through the book, felt like it was too long and too slow for no reason. But it was a three star worthy book.
