What an incredible triumph Found is!

From the very first lines of the prologue to the heart warming and oh so satisfying ending, Tucker and Charlotte’s story is one of heartbreak, frustration, acceptance and love in its true form. I could not have been happier with this story. What an awesome ending to the Captive Hearts duet. I certainly felt unsure of how Tucker and Char’s story would end. They found love and forgiveness in Lost. But Found began in a way I had hoped would not but knew it had to….

Tucker has gone to prison.

The story begins three years after Tucker has gone to prison for kidnapping and robbery. Their love story has become even more sensationalized because Charlotte chose to marry her kidnapper. Now after three years of weekend visits and no real connection, Tucker and Charlotte must begin yet again to build a relationship. They both have their illusions, doubts, even hopes and dreams now that they can be together. But even the best laid plans have holes along the way.

There’s so much that has changed. There are so many adjustments to make. Life before prison was tough for Tucker. Life in prison was a struggle for survival, with Tucker bottling up all his feelings and never really showing his wife just how lost he was. Life after prison meant facing his failures and trying to find Tucker again, using his voice and being the man that his wife deserves. Charlotte has formed her own world while her husband has been away. She’s found her voice, her passion in her work, new friends that round out her world. Where does Tucker fit in all of that? Can he?

The physical has never been an issue with these two. They are drawn together like bees to honey. The white hot chemistry? Yeah, still there. The book is incredibly sexy but what is so captivating is watching Tucker and Charlotte fighting for what they have always wanted – each other. This is the story of two tortured souls finding strength and faith in themselves first, dealing with the demons that stalked them, stripping away the fantasy and truly coming back better than they dreamt possible. It was a privilege to see that happen. The road back to their HEA was definitely not a smooth, easy ride. But what an awesome HEA it was! I laughed, cheered, cried and swooned so much. What a fantastic ending for a couple that has become one of my favorites!

Well done, Carrie! This duet is your best work yet! Amazing!

5 What a GREAT ending Kisses!

FOUND-live

We found each other where no else could.

Found a purpose. Found ourselves. Found love.

Again.

But then life got in the way.

Three years later and the people that we once were are nowhere to be found.

Can our love survive everything we’ve put it through?

Can we find a way back to each other…

Again?

Review – Lost by Carrie Aarons

Lost

Review graphic

I’m a little at a loss for words. This was definitely a story that made me feel so many things… disappointment, angry, loss. This book is unlike anything that I have read from Carrie or truly any thing that I have read in a long time. To see a character take such a drastic and dramatic turn in his life, from being on top of the world and having everything – to falling so hard and so fast and having nothing. It was stunning, thought provoking and on more than one occassion, Tucker absolutely broke my heart.

From golden boy to simply struggling to survive. And it was a hard thing to watch.

Charlotte has her own issues, her own insecurities. Her own thoughts and wishes kept quiet. Trying to live up to the image her overbearing bitch of a mother has set in place for her since childhood. She and Tucker had been neighbors as children. He never noticed her, but she always sees him. Always wanted him. And then one day, he noticed her. But he never had the guts to acknowledge her. He destroys her. But she can never let him go.

It seemed fate found a way to bring these two back together in a way neither one of them expected, giving them the second chance to heal old hurts, mend broken fences and experience love the way it was meant to be experienced – openly, joyfully and with complete abandon… knowing that reality would soon be at their doorstep. The magic and chemistry between Tucker and Charlotte didn’t dim because they had been apart. If anything time, distance and chaos only made their feelings deeper. Watching them rebuild their unstable relationship, it got very easy to root for them. But reality was ugly.

I’m still stunned at the ending. I’m still reeling from intensity of emotions. I feel like I rode the craziest rollercoaster and I’m still tilting. It was simply one of the most complex, sensual and emotional charged stories from one of the most talented authors that I am fortunate to know. If anything this story from Carrie shows that she is not afraid to go outside of her comfort zones to produce a book that bucks the trends. It’s gritty, honest and it hurts. It’s bold, brash and brave. Great job, Carrie. Truly great job.

5 Heartbreaking Kisses

Lost teaser 3

We knew each other a lifetime ago. And then…

We lost childhoods. We lost opportunities. We lost love.

Fate is giving us another chance. But a chance at what?

Because even though we’ve been brought back to each other under the worst of circumstances…

We are still. So. Damn. Lost.

Review: Backfire by Keri Lake

June 9, 2016June 17, 20161 Comment

I have been a fan of Keri Lake since I read Soul Avenged years and years ago! I love how she can turn dark and gritty into a beautiful, perfect love story. Backfire was no different and I immediately fell in love with the characters, the story, and the setting. Backfire was dark, gritty, romance perfection. Keri Lake weaves a story that is unapologetic with a beautiful darkness that will leave you breathless, on the edge of your seat, and begging for more and more. I. COULD. NOT. PUT. IT. DOWN!

“Shit thing about life is, when you throw an immovable object into the path of a bullet, it doesn’t follow any laws or principles. It backfires.”

Lucy is a beautiful, intelligent woman who dropped out of college after her mother’s death. She works for an underground newspaper and has a job at a strip club doing graphics for their advertisement. Doing what she needs to do to get by day by day and pay the bills. Lucy is into thrill seeking photography called urbex. When Lucy is out shooting a desolate, run down, abandoned building she is witness and records a gruesome crime. Little did she know, the thrill seeking had just begun.

“When I was seven, my mother told me that there were devils cloaked as angels, and that I would learn to see beyond their masks. Fifteen years later, though, and I could still be fooled.”

Jase is a panty-dropping, hotter than sin, bad boy. He’s had a rough childhood….a rough life all around. After being thrust into a salt mine prison for over a year, he is released by an unexpected adversary. Jase has a thirst for blood. He was to wreak vengeance on those who have wronged him and taken those he loved from him. His first task though? Find the one behind the camera who ratted him out in the first place. The one, who was responsible for him being imprisoned.

……but he has a time limit, or he could be the one who ends up dead.

“Five weeks to hunt down the men who destroyed my life. Five weeks to exact my revenge.”

While Keri Lake has a natural talent for bringing the dark, and gritty elements to her stories she also has some humor thrown in as well. Things such as…

“damn tit-slinging ninja.”

Had me giggling like a school girl. The dark elements were gritty. The sex was undeniably hot and erotic. The building of the relationship between the hero and the heroine was perfect. The slow gradual build of trust was exactly as is should be. Their was a familiarity between the two characters that neither one could put their finger on. The push and pull between the two of the made me want to yell at them! They both fought their attraction, their connection to each other, until they could fight no more.

“I didn’t want shelter or safety from his storm. I wanted to be swept up and taken away, spiraling out of control with him.”

I have been a Keri Lake fan for a long time and will continue to love and support her phenomenal work! She never disappoints! This book had everything I love and more! The dark, the romance, the sex, the ups and downs and twists and turns that you never see coming! Backfire had me on the edge of my seat, flipping page after page wondering……WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!?! This book had me biting my nails with the suspense and anticipation of what was to come. Keri Lake definitely delivered with this phenomenally written, beautifully dark book! I can’t wait for what comes next!!

“When you want something bad enough, you can’t be afraid of the fall.”

5 Dark, Gritty Stars!!

No matter how unbreakable he may seem, every man has a weakness.

A year ago, my home became a bloodstained crime scene. That night marked the

beginning of my hell—the same night I was tortured by my enemies and tossed into an

underground prison to die.

They failed. I survived.

Now that I’m free, only one motive burns in my soul: revenge.

Lucky for me, they think Jase Hawkins is dead. Maybe I am. I’ve got nothing but a cold,

merciless rage, and Black Betty, the sharp steel blade that never leaves my side.

Then she drifts into my life.

Lucia wants answers—so much so, she’s willing to fall into the darkness where my

enemies lie in wait, to kill her for what she knows.

Or to take her for the depraved fantasies her body alone can rouse in a man’s mind.

Me? I want her for the fire in her touch that feeds my addiction, forces me to feel what

has become numb, but my appetite for bloodshed runs deeper than flesh.

For my own sanity, I’ve vowed to stay away from her. Because she’s my only weakness,

an obsession that leaves me craving more—one that could make even the most steadfast

plan backfire.

Dual Review: Strange Magic & Dream Magic by Michelle Mankin

June 7, 2016June 7, 2016Leave a comment

What a fun read, such a wild ride of twists and turns that I never wanted to end! Michelle outdid herself when she wrote Strange Magic and completely surpassed my expectations with Dream Magic! This story had me turning page after page until I was finished!

Beautiful, Courage, Strength, Love, Loyalty. All words that describe the heroine in Dream Magic. She loves fiercely and would do anything to protect those she loves. Cecelia (CiCi) has been dealt a tough had by fate. She has become the prisoner of a cruel man who forces her to Prophesy, draining her energy from her. She has come to terms with her fate. No one will be able to rescue her. She’ll never be free again. She’ll never find love.

Morpheus, we all know and love, from Strange Magic is our hero in this book. He’s still a sexy as hell Falcon, and the fastest supernatural alive! He sets out on a journey to recover something that was taken. The only way they can find it, is with the Oracle’s help. Morpheus gets the shock of his life when he realizes…..

….he and CiCi are Fated!

With CiCi being a prisoner, what will happen?

In Dream Magic, you are reunited with the characters that we fell in love with in Strange Magic. Thyme, Billy, Arla, and Shane!

Michelle Mankin did a phenomenal job with her world building. I was all consumed with this book, the unique story line, and the characters. I fell in love all over again with the previous characters and fell just as hard for the new characters I was introduced to (CiCi, Amelia, Fiori, Stone). Dream Magic had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I had to know what was going to happen next! I didn’t put it down until I was finished! I was left with my mouth hanging open and a wtf expression on my face I’m sure cause……I DID NOT see that coming! I need the next book like, now!

Michelle as a beautiful talent for writing unique stories with romance, and twists and turns that will leave you breathless and begging for more! I can’t wait to see what stories she dreams up next for her readers! I can’t wait!

5 Magically Thrilling Stars!!!

The dreamscape is a place of magic and mystery and meaning. In that nocturnal realm, ideas, images, sensations and emotions drift on the currents of the unconscious mind.
Morpheus the Dream Falcon is most at home in that domain. By night, the one of a kind winged immortal soars on those winds, observing and sometimes even entering the slumbering thoughts of another. By day, he is a highly sought after mercenary feared by his immortal kin for both his unmatched ferocity and his wicked obsidian talons. None of his prey escapes him.
Cecilia Ramirez y Aguilera is the one he truly wants. But the striking oracle of the Court of the Light Immortals is closed to the handsome outlaw, even in her dreams. Broken by unimaginable losses, the seer is but a slave, subject to the whims of a master who is mad and without mercy.
Drawn together by fate, their impossible passion ignites. But will that be enough given the dangerous secrets each keeps from the other? Or will mistrust and the desire for revenge threaten to unravel the powerful magic that binds them?

Romance. Action. Angst. Strange Magic had it all, and more! I loved this book! As soon as I began reading it, I was completely immersed in the story line. Michelle Mankin is phenomenal author. Her words made me feel as if I were there with the characters. It was like I was watching a wonderful movie that I didn’t want to end!

Thyme Bellrose is a beautiful young woman, raised by her grandmother most of her life. She lived a quiet life working in their ice cream shop, helping out neighbors, and dating the love of her life. She was just a normal girl

….or so she thought.

Billy Blade is a sexy famous musician. He lives his days playing music, drowning his sorrows in a bottle of whisky and having random girls warm his bed at night. He has a supernatural gift that scares him and he doesn’t think anyone will believe him.

Both Thyme and Billy are tortured souls for very different reasons.

When they finally meet, it’s beyond obvious that they are meant for each other.

….but how can that be, when Thyme is……a Ghost?!?

This story was packed with so much action, romance, and twists and turns that I couldn’t put it down. It was a phenomenal read and I can’t wait to see what Michelle Mankin will deliver next!

5 Magical Stars!!!

Billy Blade is a hardworking, hard living, razor sharp musical force. Mysterious behind his dark shades, the rough around the edges Texan mesmerizes with his haunting harmonica and tantalizes with his dangerous looks and smooth country charm. His latest album is topping the charts. He’s the newly crowned King of the Bacchus Krewe. He’s definitely living the rock star dream.
Exotic Creole beauty Thyme Bellerose couldn’t be more content. She has it all. An adoring grandmother. A handsome Tulane medical student beau. A satisfying job in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter. Her life is as rich as the ice cream she creates. She’s got everything under control.
But control is an illusion. Dreams can turn into nightmares. And now during Mardi Gras, otherworldly powers stand ready to shape their destinies in ways they could never imagine.
Shadow and light. Magic and mystery. Reality and myth. All come together in a place where rules bend and lines blur. Even those between life and death.

His erotic demands test everything she believes.

When the fearless, larger-than-life Nathan Donovan becomes her boss, Kelsey Lane’s life is turned upside down. The multimillionaire wants her by his side, but his demands don’t end there.

Kelsey avoids romantic entanglements, especially with overwhelmingly dynamic men like Nathan. But she quickly discovers his attention and sensual desires ignite something deep inside her, leading her on a journey that tests everything she believes.

The youngest, boldest of the dynamic Donovan brothers, Nathan is accustomed to getting what he wants. And he focuses his attention on the smart, sexy Kelsey. He quickly discovers she’s unlike any woman he’s ever known.

Review: Everywhere and Every Way by Jennifer Probst

Everywhere and Every Way by Jennifer Probst

A fun read! With sweet romance, angst, hot brothers, a feisty southern belle, and two adorable giant dogs! Ahhh I loved this book! What can I say? This is a story of hate turned love! It was wonderful! Probst had me flipping page after page to find out what would happen! I couldn’t put it down! Forget Property Brothers; give me Pierce Brothers!

Cal Pierce has been running Pierce Brother’s Construction alongside his dad for as long as he can remember. He and his brothers have been estranged, not speaking for 5 years, after unfortunate circumstances occurred. His fathers passing brings them all back together. Why? Because their unloving, likes to have the last laugh and word, father put the stipulation in the will: no one will get Pierce Brother’s unless they all agree to work together. One year working together. One year living under the same roof. Tension and emotions run high between these insanely hot brothers. Can they fix what broke their bond in the past?

Morgan Raines is a sexy, feisty southern belle. She’s a professional interior design consultant to famous people. She is the point of contact between builder and client when they want a house built and she has never failed at delivering the perfect house, with the perfect design to her clients. When the “darlings of Hollywood” hire her to build them a house in Harrington, she has to have the best construction company around! That company……Pierce Brother’s Construction!

When Cal turns down her job offer, it doesn’t deter Morgan. She’s dead set on getting what she wants. She’ll do anything, even manipulation.

I truly loved Everywhere and Every Way. It’s a wonderful start to the Billionaire Builders series and I can’t wait for the next release! The gradual growth of respect and then love between Cal and Morgan was heartwarming. Probst nailed it with this book!

Review – Wicked Love by Michelle Valentine

May 31, 2016May 31, 2016Leave a comment

Wicked Love by Michelle A. Valentine

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tender and touching, Wicked Love is a roller coaster of a rock star romance sprinkled with heat and filled with heart. It’s a passionate and poignant tale of heartbreak, healing, and happiness fused with fate and feels with highs and lows. A story that heats your heart and sings to your soul. Wicked Love is wicked good.

Rock star romances, along with MMA, are my favorite stories to read so I could not help but devour Wicked Love as I did the other wickedly wonderful books in this series. The fantasy of a rocker belting songs to me makes my heart pound and my body heat. Singing is sweet and sexy, and rockers are intense and hot. Everything is done with passion. Everything.

Wicked Love is refreshing, raw, and real. The intensity and passion permeates throughout this tale and I could not help but experience every emotion while on my Wicked Love date. A story that flutters with feels. Smiling. Sweating. Swooning. A LOT.

This is not the typical rocker story where the man whore rock star meets the woman who changes him. No, Wicked Love’s hero is all grown up and ready for the real, and the heroine is perfectly imperfect.

Beautiful brunette and blue-eyed Avery Jenson is done dating losers and users who bring nothing but trouble to her already stressful life.

“This is the last time I’ll allow myself to be hurt like this. I’m sick of men treating me like something they can use, then toss away.”

Her rich life and reputation are ruined from her father’s embezzling at his company and she wants nothing more than to escape from the shambles of her former perfect life.

Perhaps luck or maybe fate made her path cross with gorgeous rocker, Tyler Mercer, one disastrous night. Every woman’s fantasy man.

Plus rocker. Plus guitar. Plus fabulous fingers.

“Watching his fingers move with ease causes a wicked thought to pop into my head. Bet he’s pretty good with those fingers in other areas too.”

Blond, blue-eyed, tall, muscular, and inked, Tyler looks like a walking wet dream though there is sweetness in his core. Hard but soft. Tough but sweet.

“This guy is absolutely gorgeous in that badass, I’ll break-your-heart-after-I’ve-melted-your-panties kind of way, but there’s something lingering in his eyes that makes him seem like he could be sweet even though his outward appearance screams trouble.”

Like Avery, Tyler yearns to escape from a painful past that haunts him every day.

Tyler rescues Avery after her friends abandoned her, and later collides into her near his home, rescuing her a second time in the small town when Avery and her father are forced to move in with her grandma.

For Tyler, the girl he has only met once and who he rescued haunts his head, heart, and dreams. Avery is the one who may be worth remembering, the one who could be more.

“I usually don’t have to work this hard to get girls. This one is going to take a lot of effort, but I’m willing to put in the work.”

Avery is hopeful that for the first time, she has found a guy who truly cares for her. She is transfixed by this man who is her real-life rocker version of prince charming. Tyler is invading her, striking her soul like a melody.

“I look at him. I mean, really look at him, while he sings. He’s so damn attractive. It’s almost like I’m seeing him for the first time.”

I’m swooning in sweetness and I don’t want to stop.

The chemistry between them heats like a slow burn. The build-up is intense. The fire is burning so hot that it’s about to ignite.

“I don’t know if she realizes what she’s done, but she’s awakened a sexual beast who wants nothing more than to find his way into that sweet pussy of hers.”

Tyler and Avery don’t have sex; they make love. It’s hot and heavenly. Scorching yet sizzling with sweetness.

“Tell me, baby, that you belong to me.”

Swoon. Scorch. Repeat.

Though their one night of passion leads to peril, causing Tyler to leave town the girl of his dreams for good.

“I’m leaving, Avery. I’m the last thing you need…I was careless. I’ve hurt people.”

The tragedy changes their lives forever. With Tyler gone, Avery is left in the aftermath, picking up the pieces of rubble.

“Tears flow and there’s no use trying to stop them because I know from this moment on, nothing in my life will ever be the same.”

Fast forward three years later, Tyler, now a world famous rock star for Wicked White, returns to his hometown and Avery, hoping he can dust off the ashes and repair the pieces of her broken heart.

“We are strangers to one another. He’s no longer the nice country boy that I met a few years ago. He’s Tyler White of Wicked White—one of the hottest rock bands in the country.”

Avery has moved on and has built a new life for herself. Tyler hopes she has room left in her heart for him.

Wicked Love is wicked special. A passionate and poignant rock star romance that is wrapped in sugar. There is nothing as sweet as a friends-to-lovers story that calls to your heart, beckoning it, and flooding it with hope and happiness. Wicked Love is a must-read love story that heats the heart and sings to the soul.

Four wicked sweet stars

View all my reviews

All Tyler Mercer wanted was to make music—until he met Avery Jenson. The beautiful new girl in town turned his head and struck a chord in his heart. But when their one night of passion results in devastating tragedy, Tyler hits the road, leaving behind his dead-end hometown and the girl he knows he’ll never forget.

After her father was caught embezzling, Avery’s comfortable life in the city was blown to bits. But meeting Tyler helped to pick up the pieces and eased her into country living. She just never expected the handsome musician would add to her heartbreak by walking away without a backward glance.

Now, three years later, rock star Tyler’s come back, hat in hand. He’s found fame and fortune as a member of Wicked White, but it’s all worth nothing without Avery’s love. Can she forgive him for leaving when she needed him most? Or will the ghost of their past keep them apart?

Review – The Anatomy of Jane by Amelia LeFay

May 30, 2016Leave a comment

Wow. Wow. Wow. Where on earth do I start? Just wow. This has to be the hottest book I’ve read all year. The Anatomy of Jane so, so sexy, so sinful, I literally BLUSHED and FANNED myself SO MANY TIMES!

Jane, Max & Wes are a total match made in heaven. A blistering connection JUMPED out of this book and GRABBED me.

From page one Amelia sets a story that lights up every part of the reader. Lit up every part of me. With just enough suspensful back ground action to keep the story flowing, The Anatomy of Jane is addicting.

There is an undeniable push & pull feeling when reading this book. My heart and mind warred with each other over Max and Wes, what would happen, would Jane get one? Which one? I was fully captivated by the relationship and the dynamic between the three of them. My heart also broke a little for each of them and their family battles, social battles and what the future may hold.

The Anatomy of Jane is a thrilling story that accelerates your heart and mind while burning you up before leaving you in a gasping state of shock with one hell of a cliffhanger ending. I’m DESPERATE for book 2!!!

4.5 sexy, deliciously sinful stars.

Jane

I’ve always been on my own. My life used to consist of nothing but work, keeping Allen out of trouble, and if I had time, sleep. Then I became their maid.

Max

Every day more than half a million people tune in to watch my show. They trust me. I know it’s because I’m the only son of the prominent Emerson family. However, I like to believe it because I’m honest no matter what story I report on. I’m honest about everything but the man I’ve been f**king for the last four years… and now her.

Wesley

First I want three things: First Maxwell Emerson and Jane Chapman both in my bed. Second, to be the best bloody chef in the country. Third, to figure out how to simultaneously get the first and second things I want without any of us getting hurt.

THREE PEOPLE.

ONE LOVE STORY….

Review – Wednesday by Kendall Ryan

May 27, 2016May 27, 2016Leave a comment

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wednesday is a sweet, smoldering, and spellbinding story of second chance love that hits your heart like a hurricane—hard and unexpected—where you’re flowing in feels. Body blazing. Heart hurting. Soul searing. Your body melts but the heart does too…maybe more. Kendall Ryan has written a story that smells like sex and sin, but its core is so much more. Wednesday is a sweet surprise, one that’s a breathtakingly beautiful story of love against the odds.

When I first saw the scorching cover and read the synopsis for Wednesday, I could not wait to dive into this erotic adventure. So steamy that panties would be tossed immediately because they would not be necessary due to too many changes required.

Then I saw Wednesday’s warning:

“Proceed at your own risk.”

Warnings are automatic must-reads, and I want to read Wednesday ten times more. This warning made me contemplate seeking the hubby for a little read-along, a deliciously dirty date where I may even blush.

Despite the super sexy cover, synopsis, and heated warning, I was WRONG. Off-the-charts incorrect. My romance radar: EPIC FAIL. Wednesday is so utterly unexpected. Oh, and that warning of a risk? It’s not merely a risk about high-octane-super-steamy-sexy sex. The big risk is to your heart, as it will bend and perhaps break.

The pleasantly unpredictable Wednesday tore into me like a Saturday, full of life and love, and I LOVED IT! This story is full of sweetness born from a love so pure and one stemmed from childhood. The kind of special, once-in-a-lifetime love that lasts for an eternity. Wednesday touched me like a sweet and sappy Nicholas Sparks story but with lots of steam.

Chloe and Shaw were childhood best friends and secret crushes who grew apart.

“I taught him to climb trees and catch lizards, and he taught me how to kiss.”

When Shaw loses his wife in a tragedy, he seeks out his best friend to ease the pain. Though instead of wanting her friendship, it’s her body he wants to use as a vessel to forget. Dull the ache. Feel good for a little while.

“Chloe was the golden-haired little girl I’d taught to fish…the first girl I kissed…my best friend since I was a little kid—and now she was my f**k toy.”

Beautiful, blue-eyed and blonde-haired, Chloe, will do anything for her best friend, despite the distance between them for the past few years where they grew apart. Even if the ‘anything’ is giving her body to a man, her best friend, who needs her physically to snuff out his emotional pain.

“I wanted him to heal. I wanted him to be okay. And for those few hours every week, if he could lose himself in me, I was only too happy to oblige.”

For Shaw, those Wednesday sex sessions with Chloe are everything, even if just a temporary fix.

“She was so tempting, so sweet, and [dang] if I could resist her. She quieted the cloudy discontent that swirled in my brain. It wasn’t a question of desire. It was a need.”

For Chloe, these hot Wednesday romps mean someone is showering her with attention for once.

“For those few hours, I mattered to someone.”

Chloe’s best friend and crush wants HER. Needs her. However, like air to breathe, the physical intimacy is vital to her too.

“He was my drug. Bold. Intoxicating. Addictive.”

They are bound to each other by friendship and physical desire that is hovering close to more.

These words…I’m swooning…HARD.

“I need you, Chloe.”

“So have me,” I whispered to him.

The more Chloe gives Shaw her body, the less she feels she is healing him and the more she is losing herself. Hurting both of them. Playing with fire where she is starting to get burned.

“Our flings had crossed into a gray area that where instead of feeling like I was helping him heal, it felt like he was merely using me.”

Shaw thinks he is damaged goods. Only good for the physical connection. Emotionally broken. A bad choice for Chloe who deserves better than the monster he thinks he has become.

“I wondered if she saw me for what I really was—the villain in our twisted story.”

The lines are blurred between protecting the heart versus throwing caution to the wind. The dark past and guilt keep looming like a thunder clouds and tornadoes of torture. Chloe must protect herself from getting hurt as she falls harder for the best friend and lover she will never call hers.

“It wasn’t healthy to get my hopes up about something that could never be. He was my friend. And he was still grieving. And in twenty-plus years of knowing each other, he’d never expressed any romantic feelings for me.”

What a sensational surprise! Wednesday is sweetness and sorrow wrapped in a sexy package tied together with hope. Kendall Ryan’s spur-of-the-moment story may be little in size but is big in emotion. Wednesday is heart, hope, and healing. Wednesday is the life and love of Saturday. Wednesday is what you must meet for it is simply brilliant, beautiful and breathtaking, a story that is not what you expect but so much more. You’ll leave this tale that twists itself around your heart wanting more too.

Hard core fucking.

It’s not what I really want, but it’s all he has to offer. He’s filled with turmoil and heartache and regrets, but for two hours every Wednesday all he feels is me. How much I desire him, how desperate he makes me, how much I’d like things to be different between us. Real.

He used to be my best friend back before he got married. And now? Now, he’s a young widower. It’d be wrong on so many levels to expect something more from him. So I give him what he needs. Dark delicious fucking. But I know I can’t keep this up. I’ve already given him my body, my soul. I want him to have my heart. It might drive him away forever, but that’s a risk I’m forced to take.

Wednesday is an angsty romp told from dual points of view. If you’re in the mood for something quick and dirty, you’ve found it. Proceed at your own risk.
