Kristen is a nerd and proud of it. Her dates are so boring and bland, she will not accept grandma's attempt to set her up anymore. She'll try a dating app instead. Her grandma told her about Cameron, the guy who was always looking for a Ferrari, but sounds like a fun guy, but she's had enough. But when grandma told Kristen to chat with her online poker buddy "LuckySuit" online while she fixes up a car for a friend, Kristen can't refuse. And Kristen had a surprisingly good time with him, and he even figured out that it wasn't grandma chatting. But she also found a match online, that goes by "DeepThinker" that also caught her interest. Who should she pursue?
Ah, there's a twist or two there that was actually quite good. Not going to spoil the fun, but it's light-hearted rom-com. 4.5/5

GRR Reviews The Conflicted Billionaire by Sharon Sue Thorn
Jenny is a small-town Kansas veterinarian who wanted simple love, but it's hard to do in a small town full of retirees. After meeting too many douchebags, she met Jeff online, and he seems perfect. Except he lives on the opposite coast. // Owen is a billionaire who keeps finding golddiggers as dates. He joined a dating site... Using his best friend Jeff's name and photo. Then he made a connection with Jenny thousand miles away. They had talked online for months. But now, Owen is torn. If he wanted to meet her, he had to admit he used his best friend's photo and lied. Yet he had to meet her... So he flew into her town, and met her in person, but.. he can't reveal himself just yet. And while Jenny felt an attraction to him, she wanted to know who Jeff is... Then the REAL Jeff (and his wife) came to town to find Owen... just in time for Jenny to show up... OMG!
It's not really a comedy, but more of a tragi-comedy. Yes, Jenny will EVENTUALLY figure out Owen is a nice guy. But both are just... a bit too stubborn? And he's a bit too TSTL. 4/5

GRR Reviews A Royal Shade of Blue by Aven Ellis
Clementine is happily studying art history at Stanford when someone from Cambridge UK complimented her. That turned out to be "CP Chadwick", also a history student. An online relationship developed. Clementine had survived a benign brain tumor, and she's tired of her entire family, even her friends, treating her with kid gloves. CP did not do so, and that mutual respect turned into something more... But what Clementine does not know is CP Chadwick is actually Prince Christian of Wales (House of Chadwick), the "spare heir". His life had never been normal, and having been denied the opportunity to join the military, he has no idea what to do with himself... Until he met Clementine online. When he revealed himself, Clementine was certain she was being catfished and broke off all contact. CP had to fly to the US (with his close protection officers) to convince Clementine it's all real. And it's very much like a fairy tale come true. But CP has a fear he had not revealed... and Clementine doubts she can ever fit into a royal life... Will their fears hold them back?
While the book's got nice flow, and good details, the ups and downs don't flow like a novel. The darkest hour and climax don't quite feel right. Basically someone's making a mountain out of a molehill and somehow that warrants a huge sulking session... and making up. There wasn't really much of a grand gesture. 4/5
