**REVIEW TOUR** The Exception by Vi Keeland



Title: The Exception
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Boss/Intern, Dominant Hero, Billionaire
Release Date: January 11, 2026


BLURB

He lives by a set of rules. She might be his one exception.

I just wanted a distraction, something to take the edge off before facing a wedding I was dreading. So on the flight back to New York, I signed up for a dating app. Harmless enough, right?

Wrong.

Turns out, it wasn’t just any app—it catered to people with very specific tastes. By the time I realized it, I was already on my date.

Tall, confident, and sinfully handsome, Jagger Langston seemed like the full package. The chemistry between us was instant—electric enough to burn the whole city down. Though things took a turn when we figured out I’d misunderstood who should join the app. We laughed it off, said goodbye, and went our separate ways.

Or so I thought.

Until I walked into my new internship Monday morning, ready to put the weekend behind me, and there he was—my boss.

Now I’m caught between the rules he lives by—and the temptation to make him break every single one of them.

Tonya's Review
5 Stars

This is yet another great standalone from Vi Keeland.  You will get laughs, a little drama, some kink, spice and some heartbreak.  

Sutton just wants to get something over with before she watches her ex marry her step sister.  Yes, you read that sentence correctly!

What better way to do that than by signing up for a dating site called DARE.  It's just a regular dating app, right?  Yea, nope!

Enter Jagger.  Of course things don't end up happening like she was hoping they would.  

But when she shows up for the rehearsal dinner, there he is!  And he's the owner of the company she is going to intern with.  Her step dad also works for him.

These two try to fight their attraction.  But you can imagine how that works out for them.  

I absolutely love these two.  They are perfect for each other.  

Sutton is the perfect exception to Jagger's rules.  

This is a great read!

**REVIEW TOUR** Denim & Diamonds by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland



Title: Denim & Diamonds
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 27, 2025


BLURB

When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included:
1.) Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.
2.) Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.
3.) Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall.
4.) Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.
He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.
And the last man I should’ve been falling for—because my time in this small town was limited.
I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.
He was denim. I was diamonds.
The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasn’t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldn’t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.
A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.
Go big or go home.
I just didn’t realize that choosing to go big might also mean getting my heart broken when Brock’s life took a turn neither of us saw coming.

4 Stars

This is yet another great read from Penelope and Vi.  

Is it bad I want a book about Brock's brother's?  Especially Trevor and Axe.  Well, once Axe is older.

The first time February woke up at Brock's was hilarious.  

I love that February got help that she didn't realize she needed.  

But I think meeting Brock made her more open to accepting that help.

She grew a lot in this book.  

Brock really stepped up when he needed too.  

I love his whole "one good deed a day". 

He is a great guy.

These two being together wasn't an easy road for either of them.  I loved how it worked out though.

**REVIEW TOUR** Indiscretion by Vi Keeland



Title: Indiscretion
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 13, 2025


BLURB

He's her boss. She's his greatest temptation.

The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed.
The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there.
When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder.
Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all.
Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking.
We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described. Though she was also right when she’d said you two will hate each other.
When daylight rolled around, Dawson and I attempted to straighten out the mess we found ourselves in. But it proved to be more difficult than we initially thought. Since it was a holiday weekend, there wasn’t a single room available for more than fifty miles.
I suppose things could be worse than sharing a cabin for a weekend with a handsome man you despise.
Like maybe him winding up being your new boss?

This is yet another fantastic stand alone from Vi Keeland.  I have absolutely loved every one of them.  Including this one.

I love that both Dawson and Naomi have depth to them.

Their first meeting had me laughing out loud.  It was awesome!  Even with a black eye, broken hand and a trip to the emergency room.

These two are different, but perfect for each other.

I think I would have done the same thing Naomi did, if I was told what she was told.  At least I hope I would.

Dawson has a lot of guilt he needs to finally deal with.  The guilt almost destroys him.

This is a great read.

I loved it!

**REVIEW TOUR** The Rules of Dating A Younger Man by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward



Title: The Rules of Dating a Younger Man
Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 15, 2024


BLURB

I was the last of my group of friends to find “the one.”
The guys would always tease me that I needed to hurry up and settle down.
But I was in no rush.
Until I met someone worth rushing for.
Alex was one of the weekend volunteers at Ryan’s House—a charity I founded to build housing near hospitals.
Little did I know she was the same person I’d been arguing with over email before the project started. At the time, I’d thought Alex was a dude.
In reality? She was a smoking hot blonde who captivated me from the moment we met in person.
Our chemistry was off the charts, and I fell hard pretty fast.
Unfortunately, Alex insisted I was too young for her. I hated that she felt that way. Because age was just a number.
Not only that, her words didn’t match the way she looked at me—like she was very interested.
I lived for the weekends we’d spend out of town volunteering. Alex and I side-by-side hammering during the day, while sharing intimate dinners together at the hotel at night.
Eventually, the walls she’d put up to protect her heart began to crumble.
Until fate threw us a doozy that I wasn’t sure we could come back from.
If I’d thought our age gap was the biggest hurdle, I didn’t know anything yet.
Rule number one for dating an older woman who insists you could never be together?
Don’t fall in love.

This is the final book in the Rules of Dating series.  They are stand alones, but you will see all the previous couple since this is a very close group of friends.
This is Brayden and Alex's story.
Now it is an age gap, but Alexx is the one that's older!  She actually has a daughter Brayden's age.  We never do get her exact age though.
There are a few surprises in this read that I wasn't expecting.
I really liked reading this!

**REVIEW TOUR** What happens At The Lake by Vi Keeland




Title: What Happens at the Lake
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine
Release Date: January 15, 2024


BLURB

When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.

Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.

Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.

Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.

As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.

But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…

They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.

This is another fantastic stand alone by Vi Keeland.
I absolutely love both Josie and Fox.
The sunshine/grump trope is one of my favorites!
Josie is the sunshine in this story.  She has recently gone through a lot.  She has had some struggles.  She is overcoming and getting better.
Being in her dad's hometown is helping her even more.
She's getting back to herself. 
Fox is the grumpy contractor next door.  His past isn't pretty.  There are some tragedies that have happened.  He's a great guy.  He just has so much guilt.  
These two are great for each other.  They are bringing life back to one another.
This is a great read!

**REVIEW TOUR** The Rules Of Dating My One-Night Stand by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland




Title: The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 12, 2023


BLURB

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl.
After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest.
Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more.
I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time.
Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together.
I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number.
In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.
So imagine my surprise when I knocked on the door of an apartment in the building I lived in, and none other than my one-night stand stood on the other side.
If I thought Devyn didn’t want anything to do with me before, that was nothing compared to how she felt after finding out I was the landlord and she was about to be evicted…
And that was just the first surprise that would rock my world when it came to the mystery woman in apartment 410.

This is the third book in the Rules of Dating series.  They are stand alones, but all have been great reads!
This is Owen & Devyn's story.
Devyn is a new character, but her siblings aren't.  They are the trouble makers of the building.
But we do find out why they act that way.  My heart broke for what those kids have gone through.
I love this story.
It kept me on the edge of my seat with the big secret.
I love how it all worked out.
I absolutely love Devyn for how she stepped up for those kids.  
I can't wait for more.
