Simple Gifts is the story of two friends who begin to realize that they actually love each other as much as they love their other passion, music. Leila, the professional violinist, and Carene, the pianist and teacher, are living together while Leila attempts to recover from a stress injury to her arm. When Leila is unable to summon the self-discipline to stop making music Carene turns to other methods of enforcing discipline. Carene spanks Leila to make her understand that what she is doing is wrong and causing further damage to her musical career. When Leila discovers she likes the spanking the two women have to either admit that there is more to their relationship than friendship and musicianship or back away from each other permanently.

Carene and Leila speak to each other through music as well as erotic spankings. There are so many ways to communicate other than words. At the end of the story we have an HFN because Leila is facing surgery and the possible end to her career but we don't know how that will turn out. They haven't fully committed to a relationship that is only just beginning. This is a sweet story and I recommend it to anyone who is starting to explore f/f romance stories.

I really enjoyed this story of two college athletes who are different in so many ways. Tingly and Tiberius have a connection from the start, even though she doesn't feel she deserves anyones friendship or love. Both have had tough life experiences and through their friendship and love, they find their new "extra-ordinary" life together. This story had so many touching moments between Tingly, Tiberius and their friends and roommates.

This was my first time reading Rachel Blaufeld and it won't be my last. Rachel could you please make this a series so each of the friends and roommates get their HEA.

This is a great story about two people that are afraid to fall in love.  Nate has been in love with Ava Mae for as long as he can remember.  The only problem is that Ava is his best friends little sister.  Ava has been in love with Nate for years.  But she knows Nate is off limits so she keeps her feelings to herself.

The more time Ava and Nate spend together the harder it gets for them to fight their feelings for one another.  How long will they be able to deny how they feel?  Will Brody, Ava's brother, approve?  Will Nate be forced to choose between his best friend and the girl he loves?

This is a great friends to lovers romance.  The dialogue is sexy and smart and it's just an all around fun read.  The side characters are funny and real and help make a great story flow well.  I felt like I was hanging out with my friends.

Take the journey with Nate and Ava.  You won't regret it.

I thought for after the first few chapter we would just have a common friends turned college romance. But was I wrong!! Finely is the friend we all wish we were or friend we had. The summer before her senior year she totally crushing on a guy the big popular basketball player. After weeks of sneaking glances Jake becomes her friend and after weeks of them being together he friend zone her.

This goes on for weeks and Fin gets her heart broken but she meets Brody. Brody is a man who makes you stop dead in tracks because of the way he waited or Fin, his feelings for her and the cute gestures he makes. Thru there story even with Brody flaws you can help but love him. He's the boy next door who you juts want to love and he loves Finley. He loves her, he loves them and he's love us.

"Its the kiss. The kiss to change us. The kiss to fix us. The kiss to keep us. Becoming us wasn't wasted."- Finley

Beside the touching moments of Fin and Brody. Amy Daws make you laugh and wish you could be in this book front in center for all the jokes. For the parties for the college experience this group of people experience.

When all is said and done its a story of finding the person for you. To find the person you love despite the flaws, loves you enough to laugh with you and to support you. This story give you that. With a laugh it gives you a story of the correct person coming into you life and loving you for you.

The Neighbor is a story of new beginnings, friendship and love.  Erik is moving on from a failed relationship, while Kyle is still in the closet.  As work friends they have appreciated each other, but a relationship is the last thing on their minds, then one day it is.  Their relationship evolves naturally and the two balance each other  and while Kyle is slightly younger the age difference is not an issue..  The story is about two people starting a new (kind of) relationship and all that goes with it; learning each others background, telling secrets, meeting the family.  Obviously Kyle being in the closet is an issue, but one that is dealt with maturity.
I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a honest review.
