6 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I don’t even know if I have words to describe my feelings right now. All I know is I can’t wipe th e smile off my face or the tears from my eyes. Warning is such a perfect title for this series, and I let you know why. Don’t say I didn’t WARN you! 😉

I felt every emotion through this book as well as the whole series. I laughed. I cried. My heart beat so fast I thought it might stop. I got so hot I had to take off the covers and cool down. I cringed. I raged. I FELL COMPLETELY IN LOVE!!

I have yet to read an AD Justice book that hasn’t been a 6 star read. I know I still have plenty of books that she wrote before I started reading her work, and trust me that one day they will allbe read. This woman is so talented and deserves it to be shouted from the mountain. This is one series I would truly love to see in a movie. YES, IT’S THAT GOOD! PURE, UTTER PERFECTION!! That ending couldn’t have been any better, and I really hope I am right about what is coming next!

Enough said! This series is a must read, and yes you must read the first 2 books before starting this. It is not a standalone. Now excuse me while I go fangirl and finally take a bathroom break since NOTHING was tearing me away until the last word!

Just when I thought I had everything figured out, life blew up in my face without warning. The missing pieces of the puzzle weren’t clear, and the stakes were too high to merely hope for the best.

Absolute facts I’d believed my entire life turned out to be lies and the truth was harder to accept than the family ever realized. Protecting my loved ones was my only priority. Any threat had to be eliminated—no matter the consequences.

How deep did the treachery go? Only one way to find out.

Review – This Time Around by Aimee Nicole Walker

May 12, 2018Leave a comment

5 out of 5 stars

Blissville is a series I never want to end. Aimee just sucks you into the book, making you feel like you’re right there in Blissville with the whole gang. I absolutely loved everything about this story. That’s nothing new. Aimee can write no wrong! I feel like I’m always in a constant state of bliss while reading her stories and love how each one deals with real issues in this world. The struggles that gay men have to face but come out stronger on the other side! She brings joy and hope that one day everyone will be so open minded, making this world a better place. For now, when I need happiness, I’ll sink myself into Aimee’s words and relax in bliss.

The history between Andy and Milo is heartbreaking. The way things went down between them 12 years prior was awful on both accounts. They both turned to their own vices to cope, Andy’s just happened to be way more destructive. Watching him get himself back on track and stay there made my heart flutter. I was so proud of him and his dedication to be his best.

Milo was so angry at what went down 12 years ago. Andy never really knew what prompted that breakup over text, but when he steps into Milo’s coffee shop with determination, he will soon find out. Milo was rightfully heart and justified in keeping his guard up when Andy comes waltzing back into his life like a bulldozer. He’s not going down without a fight!

We essentially have a lovers to enemies back to lovers read on our hands, and Aimee nailed every single word! Watching these two navigate the rough waters and find themselves back where they belong was so beautifully eloquent! I could not ask for more. Aimee continues to prove why she is a top author on my list FOREVER!

THIS TIME AROUND

A ROAD TO BLISSVILLE STORY

AIMEE NICOLE WALKER

M/M ROMANCE

RELEASE DATE: 05.05.18

Design: Jay Aheer of Simply Defined Art

Photographer: Christopher John of CJC Photography

Model: Jeremiah

At the café Milo Miracle co-owns with his twin sister, coffee and pastries are served up along with his unique blend of sass and snark. Milo knows that small-town life often means that every day is the same as the one before, and excitement can only be found in the gossip that travels faster than the speed of light. When the dark-haired Adonis who broke his heart returns home after a twelve-year absence, Milo unhappily finds himself at the center of Blissville’s favorite pastime.

Andy Mason was practically a kid when he left home to pursue big-league ambitions, but the man who returns to Blissville is humbled by shattered dreams and secrets he’s not ready to share with Milo. Andy’s no stranger to grit and determination, and he’ll need both to win back Milo’s cynical heart.

Strong wills clash with stubborn hearts, triggering combustible passion once Andy starts renovations at the café. Milo would like to keep Andy’s hands busy doing something other than construction. Andy would like to suggest what Milo can do with his wicked tongue besides trade barbs with him. Neither man is willing to budge until they get a little shove from an outside force. Will Andy and Milo learn that trust is a two-way street, or will this time around end as disastrous as the first?

This time around is a witty, sexy, and endearing love story about two men who learn how to balance push and pull, both in and out of the bedroom. It is the fourth book in the Road to Blissville series but can be read as a standalone book. This book contains sexually explicit material and is intended for adults eighteen and over.

When Andy reached the top of the steps, he found a light switch on the wall. Only one socket had a bulb in it, so it wasn’t bright enough for Andy to see anything besides trunks and trunks of stuff stacked everywhere.

I turned my head slightly to the left and saw the outline of a woman’s silhouette out of the corner of my eyes. “Ghost!” I yelled, then dove behind Andy.

“Where?” Andy asked, turning in circles and swinging his flashlight to illuminate every corner of the dark, dusty space. “That?” he asked.

I peeked around his broad back and ducked my head under his armpit to see. In the center of the flashlight beam was one of those old-fashioned wire mannequins they used to hang dresses on. In fact, the mannequin sported a flowing, white dress that looked like something a woman wore in the eighteen hundreds. Of course, the white color of the gown in contrast to the dark space gave it a ghostly appearance.

“Seriously, Milo? I nearly pissed myself over a mannequin.”

“You almost jizzed yourself earlier.”

“Don’t pretend I didn’t feel your hard-on pressing up against mine, Milo.”

“True, but that wasn’t what I was referring to.”

“Then what the fuck are you talking about?” Andy asked, sounding angry all over again.

“Simon!”

“You want to talk about Simon, Milo? We’ll talk about Simon.”

“Fine, I’m going first. Since when does your uncle want to fix you up with your cousin? What kind of fuckery is this?”

“Paul isn’t my biological uncle,” Andy said. “He and my dad are best friends. Uncle was an honorary title I gave him when I was a kid.”

“Oh.” Yeah, that took the wind right out of my sails. “Are you going to take Simon on a date?”

“Should I, Milo? Is he good in bed?”

I gasped dramatically, of course. “Are you slut shaming me?”

“Are you acting slutty?”

“And if I was?” I demanded to know.

Silence. “You make me fucking crazy, Milo.”

“That makes two of us.” I realized what I said. “Wait. I meant that you make me crazy too. So crazy that I can’t even think. You rob me of my ability to snark.”

“You act as if that’s a talent,” Andy scoffed.

I am a wife and mother to three kids, three dogs, and a cat. When I’m not dreaming up stories, I like to lose myself in a good book, cook or bake. I’m a girly tomboy who paints her fingernails while watching sports and yelling at the referees. I will always choose the book over the movie. I believe in happily-ever- after. Love inspires everything that I do. Music keeps me sane.

Review – When Stars Burn Out by Carrie Aarons

April 25, 2018Leave a comment

With each and every book that she writes, Carrie Aarons just astounds me. Her talent is growing by leaps and bounds and her ability to make me want to climb inside her worlds and simply just be and never leave shows just how she has become one of my favorite authors. When Stars Burn Out is one magnificent second chance love story.

We all do things in college that we regret. We go to the wrong parties. We hang with the wrong people. We lust after people who are so very bad for us. We get our hearts broken. We trash our reputations. And then college ends and we have to go forward, strive to be the people we are meant to be. Learn from the past and endeavor never to be who we were before. All of that sums up Paxton Shaw and Demi Rosen.

He was the all star football player headed to an amazing NFL career. She was the girl pulled into his world but he only wanted her when he wanted her. To say he was a user and a complete jerk (I would use a much stronger word) is an understatment. But to Demi he was everything. When he called, she came running and the harder she tried to bring him closer the more he pushed to stay away. Until one day he left without a word, ignored the texts and became the NFL’s hottest and most beloved player. Fast forward eight years and Demi Rosen has reinvented herself. She has become a very successful businesswoman. Her specialty? Granting the wishes of severely ill children and low and behold, one very special boy with one very special wish brings Pax and Demi back together again. Only this time, Pax knows he has everything to lose if he messes up his second chance to get the girl.

This story was so real for me. College was eye opening and as a twenty something, you live in your own head and in your own bubble never really thinking that want you say and do will change someone for good or for bad. Pax changed Demi. He broke not only her heart, he hardened it. He had work to do to get through Demi’s defenses. Their story captured my heart, enthralled me and made me root for their happy ending. I didn’t want to like Pax. He was the typical big headed jock that believed the world revolved around him, but wow… what a man he became once he got out of his own way. Demi is one of the strongest characters I have ever read. She knows her flaws. She recognizes her mistakes. She owns her life and her decisions. Through all of that she loves Pax. There’s no denying that.

Beautifully written and ridiculously romantic. Emotional, honest -sometimes brutally so – and just a love story that I wanted to read again as soon as I was done. I laughed and I cried, too. This is a story of redemption, forgiveness and finding your own special star. Well done, Carrie. Your star certainly shines in this tale.

Stars die in one of two ways.

So slowly that each layer burning out feels like agony … or suddenly, exploding into a million pieces before the universe even has a grasp of what is happening.

When Paxton Shaw left Demi Rosen without so much as a goodbye, he stole her shine in both manners.

Now, eight years later, he’s trying to pull her back into his orbit. The nation’s most beloved football player, a tight end with a seriously tight end, has finally realized Demi is the one who got away.

But she’s a different woman than the weak girl who used to come running whenever he called in the middle of the night. Strong, successful, her life’s mission being to grant the wishes of children whose flames have all but been extinguished.

And untouchable, as dark and cold as a midnight sky with no moon in sight.

When one special child forces their star-crossed paths to collide, it’s impossible to keep the feelings of their past buried. Paxton had been her Halley’s Comet; the once in a lifetime love that scorched Demi’s heart in the most spectacular of fashions.

She promised herself she would never make that mistake again. But, how can she forget the dreams of love she once had, when Paxton wants to make them come true?

Review – Keeping Dominic by Alyson Reynolds

April 20, 2018Leave a comment

My goodness! Keeping Dominic is one incredible read. It’s angsty, romantic… steamy and so so sexy. It is the perfect coming of age story. Dominic Torres and Brooke Caldwell’s tale of best friends to lovers is weaved with laughter, tears, miscommunications and a love deeply rooted in a friendship that as withstood the peaks and valleys of young first love.

It doesn’t hurt that Dominic is not only this dark haired, beautiful guy with a terrific body. He also is talented, devoted and so fiercely loyal to Brooke. He supports her unconditionally and loved her almost immediately. When Brooke makes the decision to keep their relationship completely platonic, he manages to hide his feelings… until he simply can’t. Brooke may not have suspected what his true feelings for her were, she had to have some inkling of an idea. One moment between them changes everything and nothing is the same afterwards.

There were moments in this book that were simply painful and heartbreaking. There were moments that I wanted to scream and throttle these two. They put my heart through the craziest emotion filled roller coaster ride and almost caused me to throw my brand new kindle across the room. Their connection is so solid and the chemistry and steam between these two is something amazing. Talk about an alpha? Dominic has it all in spades!

Alyson wrote a story that tackles some tough issues and demonstrates her growing talent of taking us into a story filled with what every romance reader wants – to be enthralled with the characters from beginning to end and leave us sighing, smiling and desperate to have more. Best friends to lovers doesn’t get any better than this! Truly fantastic, Alyson! Well done!

No one finds their soulmate at first glance.

Dominic Torres did though. From the second he saw his best friend’s little sister, he knew she was the one for him. Fast forward three years and now she’s his best friend and she has him firmly in the friend zone. He’s convinced he’ll never have the college romance his parents had.

Until the day it almost happened.

Brooke Caldwell’s life fell apart two days after her tall, dark and handsome best friend almost kissed her. A split second of hesitation made her question her entire relationship with her best friend. You wouldn’t think that a kiss that didn’t even happen would make her question her feelings as much as it did. But all of Brooke’s friends had said he had a thing for her.

Unrequited love or a figment of her imagination?

When an argument gets out of hand, Brooke and Dom hit a breaking point that has both of them scrambling into new relationships. Even pissed off and broken, neither of them can ignore the other for long. From best friends to lovers, one night could change everything.

Review- Nobody’s Prince Charming by Aimee Nicole Walker

April 9, 2018Leave a comment

5 out of 5 stars

Aimee every single time I pick up one of your books, I’m transported to a different world
A world where happiness and bliss is all you feel. This book made laugh. It made me cry. It made my heart flutter. Most of all it made me feel whole.

Wren was definitely a character I knew I would hold close to my heart. What can I say, I love damaged people. Watching him navigate his way through unknown territory was a beautiful thing. I loved watching his journey unfold.

Dare, oh Dare. How can you not love him. He is that ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. He had this bright light about him that made everyone smile. I loved watching him worm his way into Wren’s heart (and his pants 😝).

Going back to Blissville is always a special trip down memory lane, getting to see all our beloved characters from previous books. I can’t wait for the next masterpiece that you send my way.

NOBODY’S PRINCE CHARMING

AIMEE NICOLE WALKER

M/M ROMANCE

RELEASE DATE: 03.23.18

COVER DESIGN: JAY AHEER/ Simply Defined Art

COVER PHOTOGRAPHER: WANDER AGUIAR

BLURB

Fire and ice. Oil and water. Vodka and decisions. That’s what Darren McCoy and Wren Davison are: two opposites that shouldn’t mix well. Dare believes in fairy tales, true love, and happily ever after. Wren believes in fast cars, freedom, and no-strings sex. What can these two men possibly have in common? A magnetic pull strong enough to obliterate logic and reason.

For more than a year, Dare and Wren have worked together at the Curl Up and Dye Salon. Dare has pursued the mysterious, brooding man, and Wren has resisted his provocative charm. Then one day, something happens that allows the men to see each other in a new light. Wren learns that Dare hides a heavy heart behind his brilliant smile. Dare realizes that beneath Wren’s gruff exterior beats the heart of a prince.

Passions ignite once the men stop fighting their attraction, but will it be enough to overcome their differences? Is Wren the prince that Dare is looking for? Can Dare teach Wren that true love does exist?

Nobody’s Prince charming is a modern-day fairy tale where some princes ride Harleys, and castle walls are built to scale. It is the third book in the Road to Blissville series but can be read as a standalone book. This book contains sexually explicit material and is intended for adults eighteen and over.

We didn’t say anything on our way up to Dare’s room because neither of us wanted to risk waking Ralph. We were lucky that we didn’t get caught when we pulled that stunt in the laundry room. Okay, the stunt that I pulled. I knew that Ralph liked me, and I even suspected he knew that his grandson had become very important to me, but that didn’t give me the right to be disrespectful in his home. It wasn’t because we were gay either. I would’ve felt the same if we were a straight couple sneaking up to… Couple? I rolled the word around in my head a few times, expecting a negative thought to refute its validity but none came. I discovered I liked the way the word felt, sounded, and even tasted on my tongue. Just because I didn’t speak it out loud didn’t mean it was less true.

When we got to Dare’s room, we silently undressed each other in between soft kisses in the muted light from the lamp on the bedside table. The mood between us was different like we both had realized something important that day: what we shared was poignant and real. There was a confidence in Dare’s hands when he touched me and in his eyes when he looked at me. Did he see and feel the same changes in me?

Even my arousal was different. Rather than the all-consuming fire, it was a slow-burning flame that never seemed to diminish or burn out. It vibrated through me like normal, but new emotions joined the passion: tenderness and a desire for something I didn’t deserve and shouldn’t want. I’d been stingy with my heart for my entire life, giving it only to my mom who had died and a boy who was nearly rejected by his family for loving me. My mom didn’t choose to willingly leave me, but the boy did. I didn’t blame him, but it still hurt, especially when our breakup was only a few months after my mom’s death. I had no one in the world I could count on until I met Jimmy and Danny. I sure as hell couldn’t count on Falcon. Just thinking about him brought on a fresh wave of exhaustion, which killed my arousal.

Dare didn’t seem to mind. He pulled back the sheets and blankets then gestured for me to climb inside. He joined me after I got situated then turned off the light before he rolled over and lay his head on my chest. In the dark, it was easier to find the words that I couldn’t speak to anyone else. Hell, Jimmy and Danny didn’t even know that Falcon was my sperm donor, yet here I was about to tell Dare everything.

“Wren,” he said softly in the darkness. “You don’t have to tell me anything if you don’t want to, okay? If you do want to talk, I promise you that nothing you say will leave this room.”

“I know, Sparkles.” I trailed my hands up and down his back, finding comfort in the rhythm and already familiar feel of my fingers bumping along his spine. “You’d never betray my trust.” I knew it as certain as the sun would rise in the east. No matter what happened between us, Dare would keep my confidence. “Once upon a time,” I began to lighten the mood. I expected Dare to snort, but he giggled. “What?”

“That’s a phrase I use frequently in my head. I tend to work everyday events into fairy tales.”

“Yeah? Who am I?” I asked.

“Prince Charming, duh. Only with longer hair, biker boots, and a beefier body. My prince rides a Harley instead of a horse.”

“Sparkles, I’m nobody’s Prince Charming.”

“You don’t get to decide that,” he said in a singsong voice. “I decide who my Prince Charming is and no one else.”

I ignored the fluttering in my stomach and dug deep for a gruff response. “Fine, but don’t say that I didn’t warn you.”

“Once upon a time…” Dare prompted.

Review – Fearless by Carly Phillips

March 28, 2018Leave a comment

Getting a new series from Carly Phillips is always so a treat! This time we get to meet the Wards, three sisters that have been through so much and are now facing their past pain and trying to build brighter futures.

This series begins with the incredible Halley Ward. The daughter of a drug addict and a victim of abuse in foster care, Halley has isolated herself from her wealthy family and found solace in her Rosewood beach house and in her art. Rescued by her aunt, Halley has felt that she never truly fit into her new family, their new home and new school. Only one person seemed to understand her pain – Kane Harmon. He was in the midst of his own loss when she arrived at the high school in Rosewood and recognized a kindred spirit. He kept her safe from bullies and she was always grateful for his help.

Kane Harmon has his own demons. A father with his own addiction. A business to run. His confidence shaken by a woman he trusted and was betrayed by. He’s chosen to run his auto repair business and stay away from beautiful summer tourists looking for a fling with the hot mechanic. Kane is sexy, determined and devoted to his family. But he’s also complex, conflicted about his father’s addiction and yes, maybe a bit lonely. All of that changes when Halley Ward’s car breaks down and Kane is the one comes to help.

There is an instant deep attraction between these two. Still many things stand in the way. A history filled with trauma, loss and abuse is just one of those things. It may be that history that brings these two together as they navigate a relationship built on trust and understanding. Kane wants to bring the light back into Halley’s life, to bring her closer to the family she has turned from, to love her the way she never has been. Kane, for all of his own faults, is the one man Halley cannot seem to resist or simply walk away from after a night of hot sex. He’s in for the long haul and he vows not to let the past destroy what they could have or take Halley’s no for an answer. But the memories and reminders of the past aren’t very far behind and these two must decide once and for all to love or walk away.

Fearless was a fantastic read and reminded me that Carly can certainly give her readers amazing family sagas. Emotionally charged, dynamic from the very beginning. I loved Halley and Kane’s slow build to a sizzling relationship. Kane is a perfectly imperfect hero with a big heart and sexy alpha moves. Halley is hurt, unwilling to trust and still so very lost. Her shame, anger and sadness over being abandoned are such a part of who she is. It is easy to understand why she would run from the love her family and a truly wonderful man. What example has she really had of what real love can truly be? Watching Halley grow into her real self was amazing!

Well done, Carly! Another great beginning!

From Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips comes a powerful new story of love, hope and redemption, of finding light in the darkest places.

Fearless, an all-new emotional standalone by Carly Phillips is now LIVE!

Fall in love with the Wards…

Mechanic and garage owner, Kane Harmon is used to the wealthy beautiful women visiting his beach town. He doesn’t get involved because he knows most females would merely be slumming for the summer.

Except Halley Ward isn’t just passing through. She lives a solitary life in a bungalow on the beach. A woman tormented by her past, distant from her wealthy family, different from Kane’s usual fare of town girls who know his M.O.- Don’t expect more than he’s willing to give.

Kane rescues Halley and her broken down car from the side of the road and instantly he’s hooked. She says she’s not interested in him. He knows she lies. And he makes it his mission to bring her back to life, to return her emotionally to her family. To show her the colors around her were as vibrant as the ones she puts on her canvas.

Until past meets present and threatens all the progress they’ve made. Then it’s Halley’s turn to step up and stand up for the relationship and life she’s finally coming to believe she deserves.

Now…what do you say to some Italian ices? Ever been to Hank’s?”

She shook her head. “I’ve passed it but there’s always been a ridiculous crowd of people out front.”

“Well, it’s worth the wait. Feel like going on the way home?”

She nodded. “If you can keep me occupied while we wait, then I don’t mind.”

He laughed. “I think I like that challenge.”

When they arrived at Hank’s, an outdoor ice cream and Italian ices stand, they discovered a short line. Not enough for him to have to entertain her, and before they knew it, they were ordering.

Because they also had ice cream, Halley changed her mind when it came to ordering and asked for vanilla ice cream with hot fudge topping. Kane got a red Italian ice.

They took their desserts and walked over to a short brick wall and hopped up, sitting side by side, legs swinging as they ate.

He finished his first. “Good?” he asked, putting his cup down beside him.

She glanced over, laughing. “Your tongue is red.”

He stuck it out at her and grinned.

“Want some of mine?” She held out the spoon of vanilla and chocolate mixed.

“No, doesn’t exactly mix with my cherry.” He paused, as if thinking of something. “Unless…”

“Hmm?” She raised an eyebrow.

“Unless I’m kissing you.” And before she could react, he leaned over and swept his tongue over her lips and into her mouth, devouring her quickly but thoroughly.

She moaned into him, leaning in close, savoring the warm cherry flavor he brought to her dessert.

Before she was ready, he lifted his head and met her gaze, his eyes dark and hungry. “Now that is how to eat an ice cream.”

Warning : Part Two by A. D. Justice

March 28, 2018March 28, 2018Leave a comment

5 out of 5 stars

Seriously, everything this woman touches turns to gold! I read through this book so fast I thought my kindle would malfunction. This book was packed with emotion, danger, and a damn roller coaster ride! I don’t want to let them go. I’ve grown so attached to all the characters, not just the main characters. That’s how you know it’s a great story.

I really don’t want to go into any detail because so many twists and turns come from nowhere. I’m usually pretty good at predicting what’s going to happen when I’m reading, but Angel kept me on my toes. Just know this is a phenomenal book and you must read book 1 first.

Title: Warning Part 2

Author: A.D. Justice

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Editor: Silently Correcting Your Grammar

Cover Designer: Designs by Dana

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:
Jillian didn’t heed my warning . . . but then, neither did I. She didn’t know her life was still in danger or that her every move was being watched.

Convincing her that she needed my protection required all my resources. Even then, she didn’t want me around.

Making her fall in love with me again would be nearly impossible.

But I’m Damon Marchetti, and I don’t know how or when to quit.

Review – My Way Back To You by Claire Contreras

March 15, 2018Leave a comment

Rowan Hawthorne, with all his flaws and past mistakes… his belief that love was a lie and that marriage was a sham… This Rowan that I had the pleasure to meet made me believe in family, that time can change hearts and minds and that a man can truly embrace his second chance and make the most of it. Amazing!

I waited for the conclusion to Rowan and Tessa’s story with so much anticipation. These two had so much to resolve. Their love for each other, a contractual marriage, separation by an ocean. Then there was the even bigger secret… a positive result on a pregnancy test. They run into occasionally with Rowan getting updates on his lost love from his brother and Tessa getting bits and pieces as well. Four years pass and Tessa finds herself thrown right back into Rowan’s path when Hawthorne and Tessa’s position at Prim intersect. But Rowan Hawthorne is not the same close minded, stubborn man he was. Oh no. For Rowan, fatherhood and revelations change his outlook for his future. That future includes winning back the woman he lost and having the family that he longs for with his very soul.

Rowan and Tessa showed us what love, acceptance and endurance is. In Rowan I saw determination, cunning, and the pure joy of being first a friend and then a father. From Tessa I saw independence, momma bear protectiveness, and vulnerability. It was impossible to not get caught up in these two. They may have spent years a part but their love for each other only grew. Their chemistry only got hotter. The most important thing was that they each took the time to grow into who they were as individuals. They made me ridiculously happy!

This was such a satisfying conclusion! Emotional, twisty, intriguing. The secondary characters made me wish for more, namely Rowans’s brother Sam and Tessa’s brother Freddie. These two have much story to tell. This was an incredible read!

Well done, again, Claire! So well done!

Love isn’t always about timing.
Sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and roll with it.

I admit I wasn’t ready.
I know you don’t want to look at me, let alone talk to me, but please, let me explain.
Let me tell you all the ways my heart broke when you walked away.
Let me show you what our years apart have done to me.

Give me a chance to find my way back to you . . .

Review – Craft by Adriana Locke

March 14, 2018March 30, 2018Leave a comment

Mercy, mercy, MERCY! Why didn’t my history teacher in high school look and act like Lance Gibson? I assure you if Mr. Weatherford was anything at all like Lance more of us would have rolled into class at 8 AM in a better frame of mind. Same could be said for study hall. If the librarians looked and baked like Ms. Malarkey, maybe more of my guy friends would have actually picked up a book.

Lance Gibson is sexy, sinful and a braggert. At least with his family, he has plenty of stories of… conquests. Inside, though, Lance is a man with secrets, sadness and regrets. But Lance is also a man with heart who wants what is best for his students. He adores his family, especially his Nana. He’s funny, flirtatious and and has an affinity for… cupcakes with peanut butter icing. Plus if he gets to tease the gorgeous librarian who makes those cupcakes, even better. Mariah Malarkey knows that Lance is a player and only comes to her office during his break to get under her skin. They have done this little push and pull for a while and somehow he’s become the stuff that fantasties are made of.

A chance encounter changes everything for these two. Oh, does it ever!

These two are so much fun together. So much! I laughed with them. I cringed with them at their embarassing moments. They have such beautiful chemistry and steamy sex appeal. At the foundation of their relationship is a refreshing friendship. They simply GET each other. They have secrets and pains from the past that try to color the future. While Lance comes off as a playboy and prankster prince, at his core he’s such an amazingly sweet guy that it’s impossible not to fall for him. Mariah is sassy, stubborn and just plain fantastic! She’s been hurt, by family no less in the worst possible way. I cheered for her with all my heart because I so wanted to see her have the happiness that she so richly deserved.

Craft is swoony, angsty and powerful. Such a fun read! Adriana has written another wonderful family story that pulled me in and would not let go until I read the very last word. It is warm and full of emotion. It has its heartbreaks and tears, too, but when I sat down my kindle, I sighed the happiest of sighs. The Gibson series is small town living, family and love at its absolute best. Something tells me this series is only going to get better with each Gibson’s story that Adriana tells, and I cannot wait.

FANTASTIC, Adriana!

They’re not quite enemies. Not really friends. More like frustrated balls of sexual tension and neither will give in.

Lance Gibson drives Mariah Malarkey absolutely crazy. He uses her office like a phone booth, takes cupcakes from the corner of her desk like she baked them just for him. She didn’t. Maybe she knew the history teacher happened to love peanut butter icing, but that was purely a coincidence. All sixteen times.

Mariah has a way of getting under Lance’s skin too. She calls him out on his crap, spoils him even if inadvertently, and seeing the librarian in skirts drives him wild. She won’t give in. It’s for the best, really, considering there’s no way he could lie to a woman like that and he’s not about to tell her the truth about himself. Not in a million years.

These two don’t hate each other. They don’t really like each other. But for this to be a friends-to-lovers story, they have to start somewhere, right?

Note: This can be read as a standalone novel.

Review – Then There Was You by Claire Contreras

March 7, 2018March 7, 2018Leave a comment

This was stunning. This was Claire Contreras at her FINEST. As much as Rowan said that he did not bleed, my heart bled, broke and sighed for him and for Tessa. The twists and turns in this story had me on the craziest, most intense roller coaster of emotions. From overwhelming love, to white hot anger, to profound sadness… to the unbelievable ending that rocked me right off my feet and left my jaw hanging to the floor.

Rowan was born with his duty hanging over his head. He was raised and well groomed to know his place at the head of the family business, taught to forsake all things that could possibly make him happy… friends, fun, and yes, love. His responsibility to family would take him away from the girl that he couldn’t stop himself from wanting. Tessa knew in her heart that she belonged with Rowan. She wanted him as much he wanted her, but like Rowan she had responsibilities, too. Her dreams would lead her away from home to an Ivy League education but would destroy her own family in the process. Returning home from school with her family in ruins she wants nothing to do with Rowan but can’t seem to stay away from him, even though she hates him almost as much as she loves him. There’s no denying the chemistry between them, no putting off the inevitable reunion even if that reunion ends in heartache.

When his family gives Rowan an ultimatum, he has to decide between duty to his legacy and the love that will change his life. Decisions have consequences and the cliffhanger ending of this book is so ridiculously painful that it took my breath away, broke me and left me a sobbing mess, clamoring for the next book and sending messages to Claire to PLEASE hurry, hurry, hurry!

Then There Was You consumed me, left me in a daze hours after I had finished the last words. The secondary cast in this book are so much a part of the angst driving this story. The family business takes on a life of its own and I found myself resenting it. There were moments when I was so frustrated I was screaming at my kindle and moments when the romance and remembrance of sweet times past left me smiling. This story is brilliant, beautiful, ugly and bitter all at the same time.

And I want more.

Well done, Claire.

Love and the right timing were two things I didn’t believe in.

Love is about walking to the edge of the cliff and taking the leap together.
Timing was never on our side.
My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend.
My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her.
My third was letting her go, because I had to. Because a love like this wasn’t built to withstand the winds coming in our direction.

Love and timing.
I didn’t believe in either.

Then there was you . . .

“There’s no one at my parent’s house except for me.” He raised an eyebrow. “My brother is moving from his apartment to a bigger house, so he’s been going by there to pick up the last of his things, but that’s about it. I’ve barely seen him.”

I frowned. “So why are you staying there?” And where were his parents living? I didn’t want to ask this, of course, but I was dying to know.

“I’m waiting for construction on my apartment building to be complete. It should be move-in ready by October.”

“Hm.”

All sorts of questions popped into my head, but I pushed them aside. They’d go unasked because I didn’t want to answer any more of his. Thankfully, he clicked for the iron gates that guarded his house to open and drove in, not pushing for an answer. My eyes stayed glued on those gates as we drove past them. They were like something out of a Richie-Rich movie, those gates, black with a gold emblem in the center. I’d seen them countless times, pushed them open in the middle of the night more times than I could count. I tore my eyes away and looked up at the house. I hadn’t expected to feel such gripping emotion over a damn gate, but I guess some things never stop piercing your heart, no matter how much time passed.

“I’ll be right out.”

I nodded once and leaned against the seat before he jogged inside. I closed my eyes, trying to figure out how my trip had gone from closing a chapter in my life to being stuck in the middle of my epilogue. When Grandma Joan called me with a guilt trip, telling me to come spend a couple of weeks with her, I’d taken her up on the offer for two reasons: I was the only one left who hadn’t packed her room and taken the boxes to the storage unit, and I missed her and this place. I missed the days I used to come here and feel like I was home. I missed the slow pace that came with a life here in Ithaca, nestled inside the city, but surrounded by nature and the water.

Thinking about those days also brought memories of Rowan. Kissing Rowan, holding hands with him, laughing with him in our canoes, but with the positive came the negative. He and I were never meant to be more than friends, and even friends was questionable. Friends didn’t lie or omit important things. My eyes popped open when I heard the front door shut. I watched him take the steps two at a time and stride toward me.

He slid into the driver’s seat, dropped one of the two bottles of water he’d been carrying into my lap, and shot me a wink. I scowled, clutching the water and facing forward. Just because I’d taken him up on the ride didn’t mean we were suddenly going to be chums again. Far from it. I wouldn’t fall for those mischievous eyes. I wouldn’t fall for the panty-dropping grin either. I wouldn’t fall. Not again.
