<strong><u>Blurb</u></strong><br />
<br /><br />
I believe in love at first sight. <br /><strong><em>Now I know soulmates exist.</em></strong><em> </em> <br /><br />Nothing has ever been easy for us. <br /><strong><em>Every fight, every struggle, has been worth it.</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong> <br /><br />I’m stubborn, but what woman isn’t? <br /><strong><em>She’s hard work and I love the overtime.</em></strong> <br /><br />He’s frustrating and unpredictable. I hope he never changes. <br /><strong><em>I love driving her crazy. That’s half the fun.</em></strong><em> </em> <br /><br />Lou’s sexy curls. <br /><strong><em>Honeybee’s pink nose.</em></strong> <br /><br />He still looks at me like I’m precious and unflawed. <br /><strong><em>She treats me like I’m the center of her world.</em></strong> <br /><br />Our future will be full of happiness. <br /><strong><em>Despite everything, we’re two of the lucky ones.</em></strong> <br /><br />I took the bait. <br /><strong><em>She was a lucky catch.</em></strong><strong> </strong> <br /><br />He is the wind in my sail. <br /><strong><em>She’s the anchor that grounds me.</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong> <br /><br />The wake our love made is beautiful. <br /><strong><em>Every day I thank God for her.</em></strong> <br /><br />No matter the hurdles, we’ve jumped them side-by-side. <br /><strong><em>No matter the obstacles, we’ve made it through together.</em></strong> <br /><br />For better or for worse, I’d do it again. <br /><strong><em>I’ll love and protect her all the days of my life.</em></strong><strong> </strong> <br /><br />We made it. <br /><strong><em>We always will.</em></strong> <br />

<strong><u>Review</u></strong><br />
<strong><u><br /></u></strong><br />
*Sobs* I am so sad to say goodbye to these characters! I just absolutely love this series. I kept waiting for the drama...the big plot twist, but then I realized, hadn't Casey and Blake had enough? YES, they have! If you read the blurb, the book is exactly it....these characters finding their way to HEA! 4.5 stars<br />
<br /><br />
Blake and Casey are finally officially a couple, they are making their way through a life together and owning their mistakes....they are finally happy. Anchor shows them growing together as a couple, and alongside their family and friends.<br />
<br /><br />
Read this series! I realize that not everyone likes cheating and Blake and Casey definitely had a rough beginning but trust me....the series is so worth it! Definitely one of my favorites! Fingers crossed for a spin off!<br />

<br /><br /><strong><u>Bereft<br /><br />Synopsis</u></strong><br /><br />We'd been married seven years, and for the most part, I thought we were happy. Little did I know my <br /><br />other half wasn't. He'd been screwing around on me for the past six months. Now, on the verge of <br /><br />divorce, I've found myself in a conundrum. <br /><br />He's half my age, with a body that won't quit. I keep telling myself it's payback, but who am I kidding? <br /><br />Instead of getting even, I've now made things irreparable. I have a choice to make, and it's going to be a <br /><br />lot harder than I imagined.<br /><br />Give in to Temptation <br /><br />Fulfill your deepest Desires<br /><br />

<strong><u>REVIEW</u></strong><br />
<br />
Jennifer Foor can sure pack in the angst and emotion into her books! I just couldn't wait to get my hands on Bereft and it sure delivered! I went through so many different feelings while reading it....hate, anger, sadness, and happiness. 4 stars!<br />
<br />
Really if you have read the synopsis on Bereft you know enough of what the book will be about...I don't want to spoil anything for you...you need to experience every stomach clenching moment for yourself! <br />
<br />
Bereft felt real to me, I felt like I was reading about real people. This story just got to me...I connected to it, I felt like it could happen in any marriage. If you are a fan of angst...you will love this! <br />

<br /><strong><u>EXCERPT:</u></strong><br />
<br />
My wife didn’t want to see me, and who could blame her? I’d fucked up. I’d let a little ass ruin my <br /><br />marriage, and that’s exactly what it was coming to. Rachel was a strong-willed woman. She was set in <br /><br />her ways and liked being in control of the situation. I admired her strength, and the way she was able to <br /><br />manage multiple problems at once. This though, this broke her. I saw it in her desperate eyes. She was <br /><br />broken – lost – destroyed, all because I couldn’t keep my dick in my pants. I saw an opportunity to <br />
<br />
feel young again and I dove right in, knowing the consequences would bite me in the ass at some point. I <br /><br />made the decision out of greed. I wanted to feel empowered; like I was able to get someone young <br />
<br />
and attractive. For a little while I felt like the king of the world. I thought I’d get away with it. The <br />
<br />
more it happened, the harder it was to imagine getting caught.Sugar and Spice Book Reviewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05598335641427429820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4895124030864312962.post-9025650077610304832015-09-08T07:28:00.001-07:002015-09-08T10:54:07.102-07:00Best Laid Plans by Stylo Fantome ~ Release Week Blitz<br />

“Sweetheart, the job starts here and ends here. I don't want anyone following me back to my place – not even these fuckers. I don't let anyone see where I sleep,” Marc stressed. She pouted her lips.<br />
<br />
<br />
“Pity.”<br />
<br />
<br />
“Why?”<br />

<br />
She stepped up close to him, standing on her tiptoes so her mouth was near his ear.<br />

<br />
“Because I'd love to see where you sleep.”<br />

<strong><u>Review</u></strong><br />
<strong><u><br /></u></strong><br />
<strong><u><br /></u></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Stylo wrote one of my favorite series ever (seriously, if
you haven’t read the Kane Trilogy go read it now), so of course I couldn’t wait
to get my hands on this book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was not
disappointed by Best Laid Plans! Stylo once again “brought it” with a suspenseful-catchy
plot, kick-a** characters, and tons of sexual tension! 5 stars! </span><br />
<br /><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Best Laid Plans is told from alternating POVs, which I loved
being able to get into both characters heads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Liliana is on a mission for the Bratva while in Africa….her mission is
to transport diamonds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marcelle is a free-lance mercenary hired to
steal millions of dollars’ worth of blood diamonds for the Bravta.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a one night stand, Lily and Marc learn
they will be working together on this job...let’s just say neither is too happy
about this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After their mission is sabotaged,
these two have to work together to get themselves out of the dangerous
situation that they are put in. Can these two work together as a team besides
the chemistry flowing between them…will they survive the danger they are put
in? </span></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Go read Best Laid Plans now (it’s bargained priced and worth
every penny)! I just have to rave at Stylo’s story-telling abilities. The
action and plot of the story will grab your attention, and the romance and
sexual chemistry will keep you from putting the book down! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t wait for book 2!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Crazy woman living in an
undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a
necessity!), I have been writing since ..., forever? Yeah, that sounds about
right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see
shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm
clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.</span></span></div>

like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't
drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six

I can't understand me.</span></div>

<strong><u>Review</u></strong><br />
<strong><u></u></strong><br />
It's funny as I sit here and think as I write my review, I actually read 53 Letters to My Lover by Leylah Attar on vacation one year ago....today, I sit here on vacation, having just finished The Paper Swan and I am once again blown away by Leylah's words. These were both very different books but both very beautiful stories that I just loved! The Paper Swan is a uniquely captivating story that will stick with me for a long time! 5 stars!<br />
<br />
As far as the story goes, I don't want to summarize any of it and ruin it for you. I will mention that it is a standalone, there is not a love triangle, and you will not be able to put this book down until the very last page.....that's how intensely this story will grab a hold of you.<br />
<br />
<em><strong>"It’s not over, you know. It never has been,” he said. “Whether you say yes or no, you will always be my forever."</strong> </em> <br />
<br />
The Paper Swan is a captivating, beautiful, dark romance story. The writing is well done, Leylah just has a way with words that just amazes me each time a read one of her books. The storyline is refreshing and thrilling. This book definitely just went on my favorites list....I urge you to grab this one!<br />

Leylah Attar writes stories about love - shaken, stirred and served with a
twist. When she's not writing, she can be found pursuing her other passions: photography, food, family
and travel. Sometimes she disappears into the black hole of the internet, but can usually be enticed out
with chocolate.</div>

<br />
<br />
I've loved once. I gave everything that I had to that love. Blindly believing that nothing could ever take that feeling away from me. Away from us. And when my little world of happiness was ripped from my fingers, I felt a loss that still haunts me to this day. Now I use that lingering grief as a shield to keep my heart from loving again. It's that fear that keeps me from letting anyone, except my daughter, get close enough to make it hurt. To make my heart bleed when I inevitably lose again. Until the day I met Liam Beckett and everything I thought I had protected myself from was shoved back in my face. He's on a mission to prove to me that a love worth having is a love worth fighting for. <br />

<strong><u> Excerpt</u></strong><br />
<strong><u><br /></u></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
His mouth leaves mine and with his hand still on my leg, he demands, “Dig your heels in deep, baby.” I give him what he wants, but not because he told me to. I give him what he wants because when his hand leaves my leg and pushes into the mattress, bringing his body up he goes even deeper into my body and those heels push hard. Just as he demanded earlier, my hands go to his shoulders on my own accord and as he takes my body hard, my nails dig in with my heels still pushing hard against the small of his back. Our eyes never leave each other’s probing gaze. Never once do I take my eyes away from his, so full of lust that I know there isn’t an ounce of control left in his body. He drops his head and I lift up to meet him in a kiss so sweet it doesn’t match the powerful way that he’s taking my body. A kiss that gives me more than words ever could at this moment. His hips slow and as his tongue rolls against mine, his hips start to take me in slow, deep rolls. He doesn’t pull back, just rocks his hips against mine. I push up and cry out when he slips even deeper. His lips come from mine and his hooded eyes open a sliver. “Feels like heaven,” he says softly. “Everything, darlin’. Feels like everything.” <br />

<br /></b><br /><br /><strong><u>Review</u></strong><br /><br />Once again Harper Sloan delivered with Bleeding Love…it was consistently good throughout. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book simply based on the blurb. I loved the emotions Megan’s story evoked in me, I was just hoping for a little more of that angsty-wanting feeling. 4 stars<br /><br />Megan is a single mother who has lost her husband in battle. She struggles every day to live with the guilt and grief her husband’s death has caused. The only thing that gets Megan through is her daughter….until Liam comes into her life. Liam has fallen for Megan hard, and he won’t give up until he wears down Megan’s wall and gets her to live life to the fullest again…..<br /><br />Great book! Love the appearance of past characters from the Corps Security books and love seeing them grow. Harper always delivers on swoon worthy alpha males!<br /> <br />*Reviewed by Brandi <b style="font-weight: normal;">

She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed 'Estrogen Ocean', much to her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her eReader attached. She enjoys bad reality TV and cheesy romantic flicks. Her favorite kind of hero--the super alpha kind!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black;">At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college, but on the heels of a disastrous breakup, she has finally returned to her hometown of Los Angeles. To celebrate her first night back, her best friend, Gabby, takes Hannah out to a bar—where she meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><u></u> <u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black;">It’s just past <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_992832722" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">midnight</span></span> when Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to go. Ethan quickly offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="color: black;">Hannah hesitates.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><u></u> <u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black;">In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into surprisingly different stories with far-reaching consequences for Hannah and the people around her, raising questions like: Is anything meant to be? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate?<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black;">Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she believes she’s found him.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<strong><u>
Review</u></strong>
<br />
<br />
<strong> </strong>I enjoyed Chasing River. KA Tucker definitely did an amazing job of researching Irish history and culture and immersing you in the story. I also really enjoyed Amber as a heroine, and River as a hero. 4 stars. <br /> <br />Chasing River is the story of two different people from different worlds, meeting and falling in love when they least expect it. Amber Welles, tired of her ordinary life is heading out to experience what she has been missing, when River saves her from a near death experience in Ireland. River has made mistakes in the past, but that doesn’t mean he is a bad person. When he meets Amber, they can’t deny the chemistry between… this begins their journey.<br /><br />Chasing River was a cute romance. If you love your books rich in history and more on the sweet side, you will love Chasing River. <span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<strong>About CHASING RIVER:</strong>
Armed with two years' worth of savings and the need to experience life outside the bubble of her Oregon small town, twenty-five-year old Amber Welles is prepared for anything. Except dying in Dublin. Had it not been for the bravery of a stranger, she might have. But he takes off before she has the chance to offer her gratitude.
Twenty-four-year-old River Delaney is rattled. No one was supposed to get hurt. But then that American tourist showed up. He couldn't let her die, but he also couldn’t risk being identified at the scene—so, he ran. Back to his everyday life of running his family’s pub. Only, everyday life is getting more and more complicated, thanks to his brother, Aengus, and his criminal associations. When the American girl tracks River down, he quickly realizes how much he likes her, how wrong she is for him. And how dangerous it is to have her around. Chasing her off would be the smart move.
Maybe it's because he saved her life, or maybe it's because he's completely different from everything she's left behind, but Amber finds herself chasing after River Delaney. Amber isn’t the kind of girl to chase after anyone.
And River isn't the kind of guy she'd want to catch.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Toni wants to be an insider.</strong></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Logan just wants inside her. </strong></span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><em>She’s finally ready to rock... </em></strong></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Toni Nichols set aside her dreams to raise her little sister, but now she's reaching for the stars as the creator of a revolutionary interactive biography about Exodus End. She’s on tour with the rock band to immerse herself in their world, but how will she ever gain the trust of four veteran superstars who've been burned by the media before? Nobody said this was going to be easy. Then again, good things can come in hard packages.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><em>He's always ready to roll… </em></strong></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Adrenaline junkie Logan Schmidt lives for the rush of playing his bass guitar before thousands of screaming fans. When he's not performing onstage or in the bedroom, he's looking for his next thrill in extreme sports. So why does a sweet, innocent journalist get his heart pumping and capture his full attention? Is Toni the real deal or just digging up dirt on his band? Logan’s eager to rock Toni’s world and roll her in the sack, but when she starts to get too close to his heart, she takes her insider look to a place he may never be willing to go.</span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Have a seat, Toni,” Dare offered. He stood and took a gym bag from her hand. He set it on the floor next to the spot he’d vacated, making it clear that Toni should sit next to Logan on the sofa. Logan loved the guy. Such a thoughtful son of a bitch. Toni’s dark eyes, hidden behind a pair of thick-rimmed glasses, scanned the interior of the bus as if searching for refuge. Apparently the seat next to Logan was not it. Dare plopped himself down in the only available recliner and extended the leg rest, as if he had no intention of moving for the night.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Th-thanks,” Toni said, pushing her glasses up her nose with one trembling hand.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Logan wasn’t sure what she was so nervous about all of a sudden. She’d seemed perfectly at ease when they’d been interacting with their fans. Perhaps she’d taken his comment about a lamb in a den of wolves to heart. He’d only been teasing, but he found her skittishness endearing in a world where most women threw all inhibitions to the wind when in the presence of any member of his band, much less all four of them.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">The bus rumbled as it rolled forward. They were on the road again. Toni’s hands flew out as the unexpected movement threw her off balance.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">She plopped down beside Logan, perching on the edge of a cushion as if the sofa’s back was made of shards of glass. Logan was pretty sure she was looking for the emergency exit. Her gaze settled on Butch, who was standing next to their driver and running over a strict schedule detailing how to get them to their next show in time while making a promotional stop between venues. Their schedule never had an inch of give. Their manager, Sam, was a genius when it came to getting the band the most exposure, but he had the tendency to believe that because they were a metal band, they were made of iron. They didn’t require useless things like down time and rest.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“So tell us more about this book,” Dare said, which was apparently the exact right thing to say to Toni, because her unease evaporated instantly.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Have you seen the new interactive electronic textbooks?” she asked, her eager gaze moving from Dare to Max to Steve.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Logan was very conscious of the fact that she didn’t look at him once. He’d thought their attraction was mutual, but maybe not. He scooted several inches closer to her because he saw something he wanted and wasn’t one to sacrifice his personal needs for the greater good.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Textbooks?” Steve asked. “Like for school and shit?”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Yeah, that’s usually where textbooks are used,” she said, a teasing grin on her lush lips. When no one laughed, her face fell. Logan forced a guffaw about five seconds too late. That got his bandmates laughing. Not at Toni’s understated joke. They were laughing at his blatant stupidity. Nothing new there.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“I can’t say I’ve even seen a textbook since high school,” Steve said.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“These new interactive ones are amazing. Each topic has videos and pictures and links. It presents the information in a way that gets students who are used to constant entertainment excited about learning.”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“So you’re writing a textbook about us?” Dare asked, brows drawn together in a confused scowl.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“What kind of textbook would that be? A manual on mayhem and debauchery?” Toni cringed when no one laughed at that joke either.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Logan guffawed five seconds too late again. He was going to have to pay really close attention to what she said to figure out when she was joking. He didn’t think she lacked a sense of humor, she just looked serious. She’d definitely fit in better at a library than at standup-comedy night.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“The publishing company I work for designs and distributes these interactive textbooks,” she said. “Samuel Baily approached us to make an interactive book about the band, the first of its kind. He’s very forward thinking.”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">That got the band laughing. “You might say that,” Max said. “Sometimes he’s a bit too forward thinking. He’s got every minute of our schedules booked for the next eighteen years. He thinks we’re robots or something.”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Toni’s eyes bulged. “Eighteen years?” she muttered under her breath.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Surely she knew Max was joking, so why did she look so unsettled? Wondering if he could make her blush again, Logan scooted a few more inches closer to her. His knee brushed her thigh, and she yanked on her skirt. Other than her hands and face, not an inch of bare flesh was showing. He wasn’t sure exactly what she was trying to conceal. Maybe she wasn’t open to his attempts to seduce her. Which made her a challenge. Which, like her tits, he couldn’t resist. Or maybe she had a nice boyfriend at home. His loss.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Speaking of robots,” Steve said. “How are the prototypes of our androids coming?”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Good until they tried to replicate my dick and ran out of materials,” Logan said.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Toni’s sudden intake of breath made him grin. <em>That</em> shocked her? Seriously? Too easy.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“If they ran out of materials, it had to be due to Max’s giant forehead,” Steve said.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Or your enormous feet,” Max countered.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Toni grabbed a pad of paper out of her bag and started writing furiously. Logan leaned against her shoulder to read what had her so excited. She was writing down their conversation. In the margin, she wrote: <em>Keep video camera close at hand when all band members are together. They’re hilarious.</em></span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">He was close enough to feel her body heat and inhale the sweet fragrance of her fruity shampoo. He wondered if she tasted as sweet as she smelled.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“For the record,” Logan said in her ear as he pointed toward her notes, “I was the one with the big dick.”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Toni leaped from the sofa as if it were on fire. Her gaze darted from one guy to the next, and she pushed her glasses up her nose with the back of her wrist. God, he wanted to take those glasses off, take those clothes off, and do things to her. Naughty, devious, delicious things.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Um . . .”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">The twin bumps poking against her shapeless turtleneck drew Logan’s attention.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Hard nipples? Did his crassness turn her on? That was all the encouragement he needed to behave inappropriately. Visible nipples also meant that her bra was not padded. There was so much win in that, he should have her name engraved on a trophy.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“What’s wrong?” Logan asked. “I won’t bite. But I will nibble. And suck. And lick.”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">She stared at him with her mouth agape and her eyes wide. Her nipples strained against her sweater, begging him to do all those things and more to the tips of those luscious melons.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">She glanced down at her tits and immediately crossed her arms over her chest. “Is, um, there a bathroom I can use?”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“At the back of the bus,” Dare said, nodding his head toward the end of the corridor.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Don’t take a dump in there,” Steve said. “We stop at rest areas to do that business.”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Face flaming, she sucked in a deep breath, turned, and sprinted to the back of the bus. She fumbled with the closet door and when it popped open, a stack of towels that had shifted during transit tumbled out and pummeled her in the face.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Logan climbed to his feet to rescue her. He decided to take it easy on her for the moment. He wouldn’t want to traumatize her so much she decided to leave. They both bent to pick up the same towel at the same time and bumped heads. They jerked apart and rubbed their heads in unison. Toni looked up at him, her brown, doe-like eyes watery with tears. He wasn’t sure if they were tears of pain or humiliation, but seeing them in her eyes did strange things to his chest. He wasn’t sure why it was suddenly tight.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“It’s okay,” he said, deciding that though it was fun to tease her, he’d better tone it down a bit. She obviously wasn’t used to it, and he didn’t want to harass a woman who wasn’t receptive to provocative flirting. He hadn’t intended to upset her, just wanted to have a little fun and get under that conservative skirt of hers. “I’ll get the towels, Toni. You go ahead and do your business.” He opened the bathroom door for her.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">She lowered her hand from her forehead to reveal a large reddened bump.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Logan winced and leaned forward to press his lips to the lump. She sucked a startled breath into her chest. Shit. There he went crossing the line again.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“Sorry,” he murmured. “I always kiss boo-boos.”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“I have a pimple on my ass that needs kissing,” Steve called.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Logan closed his eyes and shook his head. “One of the things you should consider stressing in your book is how little <em>fucking privacy</em> a man has while on tour with his band.”</span></span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">“I can include that,” she said, “but I think fans are more interested in the size of your dick.” She backed into the bathroom. “I know I am.” She bit her lip before closing the door in his face.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Combining her love for romantic fiction and rock 'n roll, USA Today Best-Selling Author Olivia Cunning writes erotic romance centered around rock musicians.<br />
<br />
Raised on hard rock music from the cradle, she attended her first Styx concert at age six and fell instantly in love with live music. She's been known to travel over a thousand miles just to see a favorite band in concert. As a teen, she discovered her second love, romantic fiction -- first, voraciously reading steamy romance novels and then penning her own. </span></span></span></div>

There are many rules a priest can't break.

Until she came.
My name is Tyler Anselm Bell. I'm twenty-nine years old. Six months ago, I broke my vow of celibacy on the altar of my own church, and God help me, I would do it again.
I am a priest and this is my confession.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></u></b><br /><br />She looks down, fiddling with her bracelet, taking a deep breath. "It's hard I guess. Imagining you with other people. All these years you've sort of been stuck in my imagination as my boyfriend. I never saw you with other people, didn't have to go through that, so when you showed up here it was like being tossed back ten years. I don't know who you were after you weren't mine anymore."<br /><br />"Yea, that's a good way of describing it. Like all those years never passed. The feelings are all still there. I guess we never dealt with them, did we?"<br /><br />She shakes her head. "Have you forgiven me?"<br /><br />"Excuse me?" I ask, thinking I heard her wrong.<br /><br />"Have you forgiven me? Or do you think you ever will? I've wondered all these years if you ever forgave me. And if you did, could we be friends or something. And now you're here, and we're talking like civilized adults, and I just wonder if that means you've forgiven me?"<br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">The Origin of Lush</span></u></b><br /><br />Ideas for stories come to writers in all sorts of different ways. And for me it’s been different each time I’ve written a book. I started the Hiding From Love series after I dreamed the first book. It went through some different iterations after that initial dream, but the core of the story remained the same. <br /><br />The Lush series, appropriately, originated in a song. Long Black Veil was a song originally written by The Band in 1968, then made famous by Johnny Cash. It was covered by Dave Matthews Band a few decades later, and that was the version I first heard.<br /><br />Long Black Veil tells the story of a man who is accused of killing his best friend in an old west town. The accusation is sketchy and the justice is swift, ending with the man’s execution. But the song tells us that he had an alibi he didn’t use. His alibi was his best friend’s wife…who he’d been having an affair with.<br /><br />So, we have a story where the wife and her husband’s best friend are in bed together while her husband is out on a street getting shot. When her lover goes to trial, the woman doesn’t step forward, and even though he was cheating with his best friend’s wife, the main character has some integrity left, and he won’t reveal the widow’s infidelity.<br /><br />The chorus of the song is this:</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She walks these hills in a long black veil<br /> She visits my grave where the night winds wail<br /> Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees<br /> Nobody knows but me.<br /><br />(Those of you who have read the first book in the Lush series, A Lush Betrayal, should recognize significant elements of the story by now).<br /><br />Long Black Veil is a short little song, just three verses and the chorus, but as any well-written words can do, it raises powerful emotions and issues. Those emotions and issues were what sparked the idea of the Lush series, and they carry on throughout all four books. <br /><br />When I listened to Long Black Veil what I thought of was, “is there a way to take this and give it a happy ending?” See, I hate sad endings (hence the whole romance writing gig), and this one crushed my heart. So I set out to take the idea—two friends—as close as brothers, one woman, a horrible mistake, and the ideas of guilt, consequence, repentance, and forgiveness. From that was born the story of Joss, Walsh, Tammy, and the band that loves them all. <br /><br />My newest release, A LUSH REUNION, gives the whole group the happy endings that Long Black Veil couldn’t. I hope you like reading it as much as I loved writing it!<br /><br />**To listen to Long Black Veil the Johnny Cash version <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pYA46dyKh4">click here</a>.<br /><br />The Dave Matthews version <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6FNEOscBOU">click here</a>.<br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: large;"> Series Playlist</span></u></b><br /><br />The Lush series is about a rock band, the story originated from a song, and music has been a very important part of writing the books too. Here is a playlist of some of the most important songs (according to me!) for each of the books in the series.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“I wish I
could read your mind right now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Troy
leaned in across the table, his eyes boring into hers. “I don’t think you’re
ready for that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Elle felt
bold, as if she had nothing to lose. Her breath was quickening as her eyes
remained fixed on Troy’s. “Try me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Troy
lowered his voice to a whisper. “Right now, I’m thinking about how good your
lips would taste. I’m thinking about how much I want to pay the check, walk out
of here, and press you up against the bricks of the building.” He paused for a
minute. “Should I go on?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Elle had
a sudden awareness of her own heartbeat; her fingers tingled with the need to
touch and be touched by the gorgeous man on the other side of the table. Those
eyes, those soulful brown eyes, focused on hers as if she were the most
beautiful creature on the planet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“Yes,”
she whispered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">He
glanced around briefly before continuing. “I’m thinking about pressing you
against that brick wall, and unbuttoning your blouse. I’d take my time, savoring
the look and feel of you as I opened each one.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Elle
swallowed hard, her palms began to sweat, and her nerve endings stirred beneath
her skin. Their hands were still enmeshed on the table, and she realized <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Troy was
now stroking her palm with his fingertips. That simple touch left her craving
him, as much of him as she could possibly obtain. She wanted to make the table
vanish, to push it all aside, eliminating all distance between her and the man
who was making her heart pound out of control.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“What
else?” She parted her legs slightly, feeling completely enveloped in her need
for Troy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“I’ll pay
the check and then I’ll tell you. How does that sound?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“Good.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Troy
released her hand and rose from the table. He walked to the other side of the
restaurant, where their waiter happened to be standing. He pulled him aside,
opened his wallet, and handed him a bundle of cash. Then, with a cocky grin, he
joined Elle, who managed to stand despite her wobbly and weakened knees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">When he
took her hand and led her outside, Troy did exactly what he had described
inside. The brick felt harsh against her back, but it didn’t matter. All she
wanted was to touch and explore every inch of Troy’s body. His lips crashed
against hers. One hand cupped her ass as the other toyed with the collar of her
blouse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“God,
I’ve missed you,” she murmured between kisses as Troy unbuttoned the first
button of her blouse. “I’ve missed this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“Shhh,”
Troy whispered, popping the next button, exposing the lace of her bra. His
fingertips danced over the exposed fabric, tickling her sensitive skin,
creating a delectable shiver down her spine. His lips pressed again to hers,
and immediately Elle opened her mouth, inviting him in. He deepened the kiss,
stroking her tongue with his own in determined yet gentle strokes. Arousal
built within her as her hands roamed his back, his neck, his hair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“Should
we go somewhere . . . somewhere more private?” Elle asked, suddenly aware they
were in public when she heard the voices of people walking past the restaurant.
“Your place, maybe?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“No,”
Troy answered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“No?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“I think
we should say good-night.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“You
can’t be serious.” Elle’s vision became clouded, and her throat ran dry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“I think
we should take things slow.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">“You call
this slow?” She could feel her pulse pounding in her ears. She planted her feet
in a wide stance, crossing her arms in front of her chest. “What’s going on,
Troy? Are you still pissed off? Is this all a game to you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Troy ran
his fingers through his hair. “No, of course not. You know me better than
that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

fumbled to button her blouse. She felt ridiculous, foolish, like Troy was
playing with her emotions. Turning her on only to walk away from her. She’d
felt that</span></div>

<strong><u>Review</u></strong><br />
<br />
Red Carpet Kiss was a “cute” read. I really wanted to feel just a little more angst from the characters. Melissa’s writing is always good though and the story was relatable because Elle, even though her fame seemed so down to earth and her insecurities made her “real”. 4 stars.<br />
<br />
The story revolves around Elle and the show she has created based on her past relationship, a relationship that fell apart and influenced her present relationships which are non-existent…until she meets Luke. Find out what happens when Elle’s blast from the past shows back up in her life….can Elle work out her issues and find her true love?<br />
<br />
I enjoyed Red Carpet Kiss. I loved the glimpses of the past we got, and just wish we could get a little more of the future. I do hope that Whitney gets her story; I’m excited to read more on her and Nolan!<br />

<b><u></u><u></u></b><br />
Vada Bergen is broke, the black sheep of her family, and moving a thousand miles away from home for grad school, but she’s got the two things she loves most: her art, and her best friend and soulmate, Ellis Carraway. Elle and Vada have a friendship so consuming it’s hard to tell where one girl ends and the other begins. It’s intense. It’s a little codependent. And nothing can tear them apart.<br /><br />Until an accident on an icy winter road changes everything.<br /><br />Vada is left deeply scarred, both emotionally and physically. Her once-promising art career is cut short. And Ellis pulls away, unwilling to talk about that night. Everything Vada loved is gone.<br /><br />She’s got nothing left to lose.<br /><br />So when she meets a smooth-talking lothario who offers to set her up as a cam girl, she can’t say no. All Vada has to do is spend a couple hours each night taking off her clothes on webcam, and the “tips” come pouring in.<br /><br />It’s all just kinky fun till a client gets serious. “Blue” is mysterious, alluring, and more interested in Vada’s life than her body. Online, they open up to each other intimately. Blue helps her heal. And he pays well, but he wants her all to himself. No more cam shows. She agrees, because she’s starting to fall for him. And when he asks to meet, she says yes. Because she’s dying to know the real man behind the keyboard.<br /><br />Even if one of his conditions is to bring Ellis. The girl who wants nothing to do with her anymore.<br /><br />Now Vada must confront the past she’s been running from. A past full of devastating secrets—those of others, and those she’s been keeping from herself…<u></u><u></u><br />

<br /><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Getting through Flynn singing is incredibly hard. The way his throat moves, the way his mouth caresses each syllable of the low, raspy sound that falls from his lips. I should be watching his posture, his breathing, the way his larynx forces out the words—but instead I’m focused on the beauty of his mouth and how the sound of his voice glides over my body, making it feel both warm and tingly at the same time. I’m lost when the song finishes, yet I haven’t really observed him yet.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“So. Give it to me straight. What am I doing wrong?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ummm…absolutely nothing from what I can see. Everything was perfect. Don’t change a thing.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Shit. “Could you do it again? Maybe a different song, one you haven’t sung in a while. So the sounds are less familiar to your body. Sometimes that can give me a different view.” At least I make it sound like a real thing when the words come out. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">He sings again, and this time I force myself to observe. “Hmm…your posture is great. Most people have a tendency to favor one side of their neck, which makes them tilt a bit when they speak, and it becomes magnified when they sing, which puts strain on the muscles around the vocal cords. Your alignment is perfect.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Thank you, it goes with the rest of my perfectness,” he says with a teasing arrogance that, from the little I know about him, I know isn’t real.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Which makes me think you don’t usually stand this way when you sing.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“It isn’t the way I normally sing.

<strong><u>Review</u></strong><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I couldn’t wait to get my hands on BEAT! The cover of the
book and the blurb are perfection! I really did enjoy BEAT, I am such a sucker
for a good love triangle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My only
complaint is I wish I would have felt more angst, while it was there, I think
the opportunity was there to really crank the factor up and it just lacked a
little for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>4 stars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lucky is truly the luckiest girl ever! I couldn’t even
imagine having the copportunity to date your childhood fantasy…the heartthrob
who hung on your bedroom wall as a teenager.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But then she meets Flynn, and he makes her question her life with Dylan.
Vi did a good job writing Flynn as the perfect book boyfriend, Lucky’s decision
was an easy one for me to see! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would definitely give Throb and Beat a try!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed both books….quick, fun, sexy reads!

<br /><br /><em>She said I was like a song. Her favorite song. A song isn’t something you can see. It’s something you feel, something you move to, something that disappears after the last note is played.</em><br /><br />I won my first fight when I was eleven years old, and I’ve been throwing punches ever since. Fighting is the purest, truest, most elemental thing there is. Some people describe heaven as a sea of unending white. Where choirs sing and loved ones await. But for me, heaven was something else. It sounded like the bell at the beginning of a round, it tasted like adrenaline, it burned like sweat in my eyes and fire in my belly. It looked like the blur of screaming crowds and an opponent who wanted my blood.<br /> <br /><br />For me, heaven was the octagon.<br /><br /><br />Until I met Millie, and heaven became something different. I became something different. I knew I loved her when I watched her stand perfectly still in the middle of a crowded room, people swarming, buzzing, slipping around her, her straight dancer’s posture unyielding, her chin high, her hands loose at her sides. No one seemed to see her at all, except for the few who squeezed past her, tossing exasperated looks at her unsmiling face. When they realized she wasn’t normal, they hurried away. Why was it that no one saw her, yet she was the first thing I saw?<br /><br /><br />If heaven was the octagon, then she was my angel at the center of it all, the girl with the power to take me down and lift me up again. The girl I wanted to fight for, the girl I wanted to claim. The girl who taught me that sometimes the biggest heroes go unsung and the most important battles are the ones we don’t think we can win.<br /><br /><br />**This is David ‘Tag’ Taggert's book, a supporting character introduced in The Law of Moses. This is a stand-alone story.<br />

and Henry didn’t come by the gym the next day. On Saturday, I thought I saw
them once, beyond the wall of windows along the front of the gym, but when I
looked again they were gone. I shrugged, deciding Henry must not have been as
excited by the idea as Amelie thought he would be. A few minutes later I looked
up to see them hovering near the speed bags, Amelie holding firmly to Henry’s
arm, Henry looking as if he was about to bolt and drag his poor sister with
him. They were garnering some strange looks—Henry with his crazy bedhead, his
darting glances, and jittery hands and Amelie because she stood so still and
looked so out of place in a gym filled with muscles and men.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Amelie!
Henry!” I called, noting how Amelie’s face was immediately wreathed in a
relieved smile, a smile so wide it spread to her eyes, giving the illusion of
sparkle and life. But Henry started backing up, pulling his sister with him.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

be broadcast over the radio?”</span><o:p></o:p></div>

didn’t know that.” Actually, I had only known about the Dempsey, Willard fight
because I’d seen a biography on Dempsey on Netflix the night before. God bless
Netflix. The mention of the radio had made me think of Henry and the sportscast
blaring from his bedroom. “You wanna tell me more?”</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Amy knew at an early age that writing was something she wanted to do, and she divided her time between writing songs and stories as she grew. Having grown up in the middle of wheat fields without a television, with only her books and her siblings to entertain her, she developed a strong sense of what made a good story. Her books are now being published in several countries, truly a dream come true for a little country girl from Levan, Utah.</span></div>

<strong><u>Blurb</u></strong><br />
<br />
One tiny mistake turns Bee Carter's worst fears into a terrifying reality. She knows she isn't alone. The sexy, honorable man she adores stands by her side, willing to sacrifice his freedom to ease her concerns.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But she yearns for more than he is offering. She wants a partner who will love her as fiercely as she loves him, who will say the words and mean them, and someone who will choose her because this is what he desires more than anything else, not merely out of a misguided sense of duty.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Will saying no to the man she loves earn Bee unbearable heartache or will she finally get the forever she craves?<br />

<strong><u>Excerpt</u></strong><br />
<br />
Nicolas stands in the hallway, a sheepish smile on his beautiful face, and my small burst of joy dissipates, replaced by the dreaded malaise. He’s handsome, the lights shining on his black wavy hair, tanned skin, dark eyes. He’s immaculately dressed in a gray suit, white shirt, pink tie. He’s carrying ice cream, a small tub of Heavenly Hash cradled in his perfectly manicured fingers.<br />
<br />
But he’s not Hawke. He’s not the man I love, the only person I want to see.<br />
<br />
<br />
“Don’t look at me like that, Bee.” Nicolas pushes his way into the condo. “I had that situation with the New York build last night. There will be fancy events in the future.” He holds up the tub. “I brought ice cream.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I summon a smile. “You forgot about me.” I take the ice cream from the dashing billionaire. “What do those articles I sent you say about forgetting friends?”<br />
<br />
<br />
Nicolas grimaces. “You knew I was a bad friend.” He walks with me to the kitchen, smelling of expensive cologne and wealth.<br />
<br />
<br />
“You’re not a bad friend.” I set two bowls and two spoons on the counter. “You’re a terrible friend.” I open the tub of ice cream.<br />
<br />
<br />
The real estate developer settles his long lean body on a bar stool and dips a spoon in the container. “You’re not giving up on me, are you?” The lines carved between his perfect eyebrows belie his casual tone.<br />
<br />
<br />
“I’d never give up on you.” I knock his sucked-clean spoon away and huddle over the tub, protecting the ice cream from impatient-billionaire-induced contamination. “Hawke doesn’t love me,” I blurt, needing to voice this, to share this with someone.<br />
<br />
<br />
“He said that?” Nicolas steals a spoonful of ice cream from the bowl I’m filling.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“No.” I frown, scooping as fast as I can. “But he’s never said he loves me, either.” I push Nicolas’s bowl toward him.<br />
<br />
<br />
His eyes sparkle. “I’ve never said I love ice cream.” He shovels the sweet treat into his mouth with a boyish glee. “But I do. Very much.” His lips curl upward. “The name of this flavor is perfect. It is heavenly.”<br />
<br />
<br />
“Hawke doesn’t love me,” I repeat stubbornly, dishing out a smaller portion for myself.<br />
<br />
<br />
“A good friend would agree with you.” Nicolas’s head is bent over his ice cream.<br />
<br />
<br />
“You’re not a good friend.” I place the tub in the freezer compartment of the fridge. “What would you do?”<br />
<br />
<br />
“I’d tell you that neither of you are acting rationally, that if craziness is a sign of love, Hawke has it much worse than you.” Nicolas licks his spoon. “He guards you like you’re the last piece of prime real estate on the planet. I’m taking my life into my hands by simply eating ice cream with you.”<br />
<br />
<br />
I climb onto the bar stool beside him, his observations about Hawke’s protectiveness appeasing me, banishing some of my melancholy. “He cares about me.”<br />
<br />
<br />
“No, he cares about his team.” The billionaire’s lips flatten grimly. “Disregarding all of my advice about maintaining his distance.” Nicolas believes remaining aloof from his employees makes painful staffing decisions less traumatic. “What Hawke feels for you is in an entirely different category.”<br />
<br />
<br />
“It isn’t love.” Or is it?<br />

Nicola Price used to have it all – a great career, the perfect boyfriend, an excessive shoe collection and an apartment in one of San Francisco’s best neighborhoods. But when she gets knocked up and her asshat boyfriend leaves her high and dry, Nicola’s perfectly crafted world comes tumbling down. And stays that way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, Nicola is the proud single mom to a five-year old daughter and living a giant lie. She can barely afford their ghetto apartment and all the men she dates run when they hear she comes with a child. She’s struggling and scared – and nowhere near where she thought she’d be at age thirty-one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her saving grace comes in the form of a tall, handsome and wealthy Scotsman Bram McGregor, the older brother of her friend Linden. Bram understands a thing or two about pride, so when tragic circumstances place Nicola at rock bottom, he offers them a place to live in the apartment complex he owns. It’s pretty much the perfect deal, so as long as she doesn’t mind living beside Bram, a man that, despite his generosity, seems to antagonize her at every turn.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But nothing in life is free and as Nicola gets her feet back on the ground, she discovers that the enigmatic playboy may end up costing her more than she thought.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
She might just lose her heart.</div>

When reality starts to fade in a bit, I find myself being walked to the door of my apartment building, my arms draped over both Kayla and Steph. We go up the stairs and now I’m standing in front of my door, wobbling back and forth, trying my hardest to look as sober as possible.<br>
Steph goes to knock on the door but it’s already open. I guess we are being loud, giggling, in the hallway.<br>
Bram looks at the three of us and my God is he a sight for sore eyes.<br>
“We brought her home,” Steph says, motioning with her hand for Bram to get out of the way, “your shift is over.”<br>
“No,” I tell them as they shuffle me inside. “He can stay.”<br>
I know the three of them are exchanging a look over my head.<br>
“I’ll make sure she goes to bed,” Bram explains. “No funny business, I swear.”<br>
“Pinky swear?” Steph says and I turn to see her holding out her pinky to him. “You know I don’t break those.”<br>
Ugh, Steph and her damn pinky swears. She wouldn’t even be married to Linden if it weren’t for one.<br>
But Bram does a pinky swear with her.<br>
“No funny business,” Steph warns him.<br>
“Good thing I’m not funny!” I yell as I flop down on the couch. The room is beginning to spin.<br>
“Nic, that was, like, five minutes ago,” Steph says. She reaches over the couch and pats my head. “Do you want us to undress you because Bram’s not allowed.”<br>
“No one undresses me but me!” I yell, throwing my fist up into the air.<br>
“Have fun with her,” Steph says to Bram. “And remember, she’s untouchable. Don’t make me make your brother punch you in the junk or something.”<br>
Bram makes a scoffing noise. “Last time he tried to do that, I got him back good. You just ask him what happened on January 16th, 2005 and why he’ll never eat pudding again.”<br>
“I mean it,” Steph threatens and I hear her and Kayla leave and the door closing.<br>
I close my eyes too. Drift away for a moment. The spinning has stopped and there’s a beautifully cool breeze wafting over my skin.<br>
“I’m not supposed to touch you,” Bram’s gruff voice says and when I open my eyes, he’s crouched in front of me, a lock of dark hair over his forehead. His face is shadowy in the dark, the only light now being from my bedroom behind him.<br>
“That’s okay,” I mumble into the couch. “You can touch me. I say it’s fine.”<br>
“How about I bring you something to sleep in? Do you have a favorite nightshirt? I always see you in that top that your nipples try and poke right through.”<br>
“No, not the nipple shirt.”<br>
He goes to get up. With a lazy hand, I grip his shirt. “Don’t leave. I’m fine here.”<br>
“I can’t imagine you being comfortable.”<br>
“I’m drunk. Everything is comfortable. Except I wish I had a cheeseburger. I would eat it and use it as a pillow. Or maybe use it as a pillow and then eat it.”<br>
“I see.”<br>
I raise my brow at him. “You just want to go through my underwear.”<br>
“Oh, I’ve already gone through your underwear.”<br>
“Lies.”<br>
“I wore them on my head and danced around your apartment.”<br>
“Did you really?” I ask, totally serious.<br>
“Come on,” he says grabbing my forearms. “If you want to sleep in your clothes, that’s fine. But I’m bringing you to your own bed and taking off your shoes.”<br>
“Can you brush my teeth too? I need clean teeth.” I let him pull me to my feet and I pitch to the left, heading right for the coffee table. But I’m in his arms, his capable arms, and he’s holding me to him.<br>
“You have capable arms.”<br>
“You have an exquisite arse,” he responds and half leads me, half drags me out of the living area and into the bedroom.<br>
“I like the way you say arse,” I say with a giggle, exaggerating his accent. “I like the way you say everything.”<br>
“I’m glad, because I foresee a lot of arse talk in the future.”<br>
“Yeah, yeah.” I try and swat him away. “All talk and no arse pinching.”</div>

<strong><u>Synopsis:</u></strong><br />
<br />
From the New York Times bestselling author of Taking Chances, From Ashes, and Stealing Harper, comes the new unforgettable adult romance Molly McAdams’ fans have been waiting for—the sizzling story of a young woman who must place her trust in the one man who can break through her defenses.<br />
<br />
A night they will always remember…a connection neither can deny…a secret that could destroy it all…<br />
<br />
When Kennedy Ryan moves to California, she never expects to come face-to-face with Liam Taylor—the intriguing man who has haunted her thoughts for a year. A man who led her to breaking every one of her rules for a single night of passion that ended up meaning more than it was ever supposed to. Accustomed to disastrous experiences with men, Kennedy shields herself before he can break down more of the carefully built control she’s clung to for the last four years. But every time she sees Liam, she feels her resolve weakening.<br />
<br />
Liam Taylor has been asked to help socialize his boss’s nieces. But what he thinks sounds more like a babysitting job ends up leading him to the only girl who ever slipped away before morning—a girl he thought he’d never find again. And now that she’s within reach, Liam’s determined to never let her go.<br />
<br />
But when a secret from her past tests their relationship, will they be able to cling to the trust Liam has worked so hard to build?<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Excerpt:</u></strong><br />
<br />
Trying not to wake him, I slowly slid out from under his arm and off the bed to search for my clothes. Once I was dressed, I told myself to just leave, but I couldn’t help it—I turned to look at him in the light. I needed to be sure I hadn’t made him up.<br />
<br />
The images from last night tore through my mind again when I saw the large, tattooed arm resting where my body had just been. The muscles were well defined even relaxed, and the face had a boyish charm now that he was asleep. Such a difference from the predatory stare and knowing smirk I kept seeing in my mind. Before I could stop myself, I gently ran my fingers through his dirty-blond hair that, now in the sunlight, I could see had a red tint to it. And I knew if he opened them, those arctic blue eyes would once again captivate me.<br />
<br />
But I couldn’t risk that.<br />
<br />
I’d already stayed too long; I’d already made a mistake with him. Drunken one-night stands weren’t my thing. Drunken one-night stands with strangers in Vegas were even worse.<br />
<br />
Straightening, I turned and walked quietly from the room.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>About the Author:</u></strong><br />
<br />
Molly McAdams grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters. Her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling and long walks on the beach, which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. When she's not at work, she can be found hiding out in her bedroom surrounded by her laptop, cell, Kindle and fighting over the TV remote. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies, fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm...or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.<br />

<b><u>Review</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
This is a really hard review to write because I can’t really tell you what happens…and I definitely don’t want to ruin any of this crazy ride for you. What I can do is tell you how I felt. The first thing I will mention is you have to read Bang first, and if it’s been awhile since you’ve read Bang you need to do a re-read or skim so every twist and turn is fresh in your mind. I read Echo completely different than Bang. Bang was more thriller, psycho, hot mess, OH NO THEY DID NOT type of a read, where with Echo I was able to connect on a much more emotional level, especially to Nina, she just felt more human which I so did not expect. There was still a demented story line and this wicked feel to Nina, but I just felt like I wanted to help her, and felt so much more compassion for her. 5 stars. <br /> <br /><br />Echo picks up right where Bang left off as Nina’s life continues to filled with deceit, lies, and darkness. Some secrets are revealed that will shock you and leave your jaw hanging open…. <br /><br /><br /><b><i>“Sometimes, for some people, the fairytale only exists in death.”</i></b><br /><br /> I love this series….the writing is flawless and the story is cray cray! I definitely recommend it for lovers of erotic dark thrillers! <br /><br /><br />*Reviewed by Brandi <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>About SURVIVING ICE:</strong>
Ivy Lee, a talented tattoo artist who spent the early part of her twenties on the move, is looking for a place to call home. She thinks she might have finally found it working in her uncle’s tattoo shop in San Francisco. But all that changes when a robbery turns deadly, compelling her to pack up her things yet again.
When they need the best, they call him. That’s why<strong> </strong>Sebastian Riker is back in California, cleaning up the mess made after a tattoo shop owner with a penchant for blackmail got himself shot. But it’s impossible to get the answers he needs from a dead body, leaving him to look elsewhere. Namely, to the twenty-something-year-old niece who believes this was a random attack. Who needs to keep believing that until Sebastian finds what he’s searching for.
Ivy has one foot out of San Francisco when a chance encounter with a stranger stalls her departure. She’s always been drawn to intense men, so it’s no wonder that she now finds a reason to stay after all, quickly intoxicated by his dark smile, his intimidating strength, and his<strong> </strong>quiet control.
That is, until Ivy discovers that their encounter was no accident—and that their attraction could be her undoing.

<strong>About BURYING WATER:</strong>
The top-selling, beloved indie author of <em>Ten Tiny Breaths </em>returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.
Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And <em>why</em> does Water feel she recognizes him?
Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.
The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

<strong>About BECOMING RAIN:</strong>
Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it—the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain.
Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington, DC, major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the West coast's most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year-old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's footsteps.
As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want to.

<strong>About CHASING RIVER:</strong>
Armed with two years' worth of savings and the need to experience life outside the bubble of her Oregon small town, twenty-five-year old Amber Welles is prepared for anything. Except dying in Dublin. Had it not been for the bravery of a stranger, she might have. But he takes off before she has the chance to offer her gratitude.
Twenty-four-year-old River Delaney is rattled. No one was supposed to get hurt. But then that American tourist showed up. He couldn't let her die, but he also couldn’t risk being identified at the scene—so, he ran. Back to his everyday life of running his family’s pub. Only, everyday life is getting more and more complicated, thanks to his brother, Aengus, and his criminal associations. When the American girl tracks River down, he quickly realizes how much he likes her, how wrong she is for him. And how dangerous it is to have her around. Chasing her off would be the smart move.
Maybe it's because he saved her life, or maybe it's because he's completely different from everything she's left behind, but Amber finds herself chasing after River Delaney. Amber isn’t the kind of girl to chase after anyone.
And River isn't the kind of guy she'd want to catch.

Up until now, Logan Mitchell has never had much of a reason to trust anyone.
</div>
<div align="center">
Having struggled with a self-identity crisis throughout college, he’s spent the years since then creating a sophisticated facade to present to the world.
</div>
<div align="center">
It’s an armor he thought was impenetrable—until he met Tate Morrison.
</div>
<div align="center">
The gorgeous, headstrong bartender he’d sat across from only months ago has taken a tight hold of his heart, and Logan is discovering that it’s time to let
go.
</div>
<div align="center">
It’s time to let someone inside.
</div>
<div align="center">
After years of placing his dreams on hold for his family, Tate has finally chosen to do what makes him happy and follow his heart.
</div>
<div align="center">
The one thing he never would’ve imagined was that it would lead him into the arms of a man—and not just any man—the striking, never-takes-no-for-an-answer
Logan Mitchell.
</div>
<div align="center">
Tate has fallen hard, and as his world is turned on its axis and they move forward together, he finds his life becoming more entwined with the confident,
successful lawyer.
</div>
<div align="center">
Even though neither man expected the other, it’s time to trust in their relationship—but not everything comes so easily…

<u>Excerpt</u>
<br />
</div>
“What’s wrong with my hair? Are you saying I need to cut it?”
<br />
“No, I’m fucking not,” Logan said as he fingered the curls by Tate’s ear. “And you know it.”
<br />
“What would you do if I <em>did</em> shave my head?”
<br />
“Kill you? And likely get away with it since I have connections to a very reputable law firm.”
<br />
Tate chuckled and shoved Logan until he was on his back beside him. “Be serious.”
<br />
Logan turned his head on the pillow and ran his eyes over Tate’s full head of hair. Then he returned his gaze to the eyes watching him. “I would quite
possibly cry. For days.”
<br />
“Over my hair? It does grow back, you know.”
<br />
“Yeah, but not for months,” he grumbled. “Can you please stop talking so calmly about this? You’re making me nervous.”
<br />
Tate shifted until his long, lean body was stretched out above him, and Logan widened his legs to allow him to settle in between.
<br />
“Don’t worry,” Tate assured him as he lowered his head to kiss the corner of his mouth. He then moved those teasing lips to Logan’s ear and whispered, “I
like your hands in it too much to cut it off.”
<br />
Logan threaded his fingers through the thick waves and asked, “Like this?”
<br />
With a groan, Tate rocked his hips against him, and Logan twisted his fingers tighter.
<br />
“<em>Exactly</em> like that.”
<br />
“Good,” he said as he wound his legs around Tate’s. “Because this way, I can have a tight hold on you when you’re <em>trying</em> to distract me. I’m onto
you, Mr. Morrison. Don’t try to use your body against me.”
<br />
He almost lost his willpower when Tate, <em>the cocky fucker</em>, placed his hands on either side of his head and rubbed their erections together.
<br />
“You don’t want me to use my body on you?”
<br />
“Fuck you,” Logan said, knowing full well that, if he didn’t change the subject or get Tate the hell off him, he was going to roll him over and cease
talking altogether.
<br />
Usually he’d love nothing more, but right now, he wanted to know why Tate had reacted so strongly to his question from last night—well, early morning <em>. </em>
<br />
“We need to talk.”<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have to say, I am not a big fan on m/m but I am a huge fan
of Ella’s so I decided to give this series a TRY and I am in love with these
characters….they have this great chemistry, great banter…and it felt good to
get more of their story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>4 stars<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In Trust we get a more emotional story than the previous
books, now there is still some HOT sex but things just felt more emotionally
intense and these characters just felt more connected. I don’t want to give
away any of this story away but I will mention that I really loved the first
half of the book, but things slowed a little for me in the second half.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That being said, I still absolutely enjoyed
this story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is my first and only m/m series, but Ella has opened my
eyes and I am really looking forward to reading other m/m books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that if you love an intense,
passionate, emotional, and steamy romance story you should give these books a try.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>~Mischa~</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a conscious decision to cheat on my husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, before you judge me, hear my story. Hear how much I'm like you, how similar my thoughts are to your own. Yes, I'm a horrible person. Yes, I've done horrible things. Yes, I don't deserve forgiveness. Yes, bad things happened because of my actions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I'm willing to bet I've done things that maybe, just maybe, you have thought of doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe, just maybe, you're not as innocent as you'd like to think.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or maybe I'm not so guilty ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>WARNING: This book involves</em><em> </em><strong><em>CHEATING</em></strong><em>. The word</em><em> </em><strong><em>AFFAIR</em></strong><em> </em><em>is in the title. The main character has an</em><em> </em><strong><em>AFFAIR</em></strong><em>. In the synopsis (directly above), she states that she</em><em> </em><strong><em>intentionally</em></strong><em> </em><em>has an</em><em> </em><strong><em>AFFAIR</em></strong><em>. If you don't like</em><em> </em><strong><em>CHEATING</em></strong><em>, then you have been</em><em> </em><strong><em>VERY WELL</em></strong><em> </em><em>warned. Also, this book is primarily written in the third-person narrative.</em></div>

<strong><u>Review</u></strong><br />
<br /><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">LOVE! I am such a huge fan of Stylo’s, she just blew me away
with the Kane trilogy and now with My Time in the Affair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Read the synopsis….if you can’t handle
cheating you may not love this book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
no way do I condone cheating, but this book is about so much more….it’s about finding
yourself when you’re lost, and finding your happiness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>4.5 stars </span></span></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444;">“When you’re looking
at your best friend, a person who is part of the fabric of your being, and you
can literally see their heart start to break, it takes a lot of strength to
smash that heart all the way.”</span></b></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">My Time in the Affair is Misha’s story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know right from the start that Mischa was
going to have an affair based on the synopsis, what you don’t know is that her
husband is her best friend and the events that take place shatter her, but
sometimes a person can no longer live the life they are living….Misha needed
more than to be someone’s best friend…she needed to be their everything. </span></span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<strong><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10.5pt;">“I was drunk on him. High on him. I wanted to swallow him down,
inhale him, inject him. I wanted to live under my skin and change my DNA.” </span></strong><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
<br />
My Time in the Affair was simply amazing…so many feels! There
was suspense, passion, hurt, and hope all intertwined to make completely enthralled
with this story! Can’t wait to read more by Stylo! </span></div>

Crazy woman living in an undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ..., forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah. I think that about sums me up.</div>

It only took one moment of weakness for Laney Keating’s world to fall apart. One stupid gesture for a hopeless crush. Then the rumors began. Slut, they called her. Queer. Psycho. Mentally ill, messed up, so messed up even her own mother decided she wasn't worth sticking around for.<br />
<br />
If Laney could erase that whole year, she would. College is her chance to start with a clean slate.<br />
<br />
She's not looking for new friends, but they find her: charming, handsome Armin, the only guy patient enough to work through her thorny defenses—and fiery, filterless Blythe, the bad girl and partner in crime who has thorns of her own.<br />
<br />
But Laney knows nothing good ever lasts. When a ghost from her past resurfaces—the bully who broke her down completely—she decides it's time to live up to her own legend. And Armin and Blythe are going to help.<br />
<br />
Which was the plan all along.<br />
<br />
Because the rumors are true. Every single one. And Laney is going to show them just how true.<br />
<br />
She's going to show them all.<br />
<br /><br />

Ya'll Leah Raeder is an amazingly talented writer...she just has this ability to make her writing flow like poetry. I loved, loved, loved Unteachable but really struggled with Black Iris. The story was suspenseful and intriguing but in all honesty it really just wasn't my cup of tea. 3 stars. </div>
