My Favorite Souvenir by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward - Romance Book Review
Synopsis
My planned trip for two unexpectedly turned into a trip for one. Rather than let my breakup get me down, I packed my bags and decided a week at a luxury resort was just what I needed.
But one calamity after the next, and suddenly I was stuck without a hotel room, along with a few hundred other people.
It looked like my fancy vacation was about to turn into me sleeping on the hotel lobby floor.
Until I overheard a gorgeous man pretending to be someone he wasn't in order to steal a reservation from a guest who hadn't shown up yet.
When I realized there were two rooms, instead of calling him out, I pretended to be his sister. That's how the story of "Milo and Maddie Hooker" began.
We were the Hookers.
My depressing trip quickly made a U-turn into an adventure.
My fake brother spent the next few days showing me around his hometown. When it was time to leave, neither of us really wanted to go yet.
So, instead of flying back to our respective homes, we ventured on a road trip.
At every stop, we'd pick up souvenirs.
But as hot as our chemistry was, we never crossed the line.
Milo knew I'd just come out of a tough relationship and didn't want to mess with a vulnerable woman.
So instead, at the end of our trip, we made a pact to meet again in three months.
It was always my intention to meet him.
But when I got back home, reality hit in a big way.
And I worried I may have lost my handsome stranger forever.
Was there a place for him in my future?
Or had the memory of him just become my favorite souvenir?

Hello friends and lovers!
My Favorite Souvenir by talented duo Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have knocked another romance out of the park!
Milo and Maddie Hooker — who by the way are using these names as a cover up to ensure they receive a reservation at an overbooked hotel due to a bad storm — they are so sneaky!
We discover that “Maddie Hooker” is stuck in Vale because her fiancé put the brakes on their wedding and Milo was there to visit family. The issue is, they can’t leave Vale and they have no hotel room, so what do they do to ensure they are sheltered for the night? They impersonate Milo and Maddie Hooker, whom are two siblings, and take their reservation (RUDE!).
Anyways, these two main characters were, in my opinion, really cute. They end up growing closer together by traveling in nearby areas and taking souvenirs to remember their endeavors before they have to reluctantly go back to reality.
This romance is steamy, it is a slow burn, like veeeeerrrrrrryyyy slow burn and I highly recommend it is you’re into this type of story, I know I am! I’m all for the slow burn, because it burns so fucking good.
I loved that their adventures and what they discover about one another was really exciting, unexpected, and outright hilarious!
If you love Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, then you’ll love this. This is certainly within their quirky romantic, steamy comedy style.
What I Enjoyed:
There was a place they go visit, a bed and breakfast and I really didn’t expect the twist the authors took me on, but it was really imaginative and I’d say very creative on their part.

I finally graduated with my nursing degree and now it’s time to celebrate. Out with my friends, I come across the man of my dreams. Tall, dark, and oh so sexy. When I see him with another woman, I move on, after all it’s just a night out and it’s time for me to focus on my career anyway.
Until we end up at the same hospital.
I had no idea he was a doctor, and now he’s become the forbidden fruit I see every day.

At this age, I’ve had it with relationships. Call me sour, but nobody is faithful, and I’d rather have a taste and move on.
Then, I run into the beauty from the club. I was attracted to her immediately, but didn’t make a move. Now, after spending some time with her, I might be convinced to change my tune about being a one-woman man. She’s smart, funny, and driven. Everything I’ve ever wanted.
But she’s a lot younger than me, can she be trusted? We’re locked into a contract at the hospital together, only one way to find out.
