Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.<o:p></o:p></i></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">At first,
my neighbor Deacon frustrated me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">Sure, he
was great-looking and friendly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">But our
walls were thin, and on occasion, he’d bring women to his place and keep me
awake while he “entertained” them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">As a single
mother to an infant, I didn’t appreciate it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">So, finally
it was my turn. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">When my
daughter wouldn’t stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my
door. <br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">Miraculously,
at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying. And when he held her…she
eventually fell asleep in his arms.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">Deacon was
rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr.
Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle was a baby whisperer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">After that
night, we became friends.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">He’d go for
coffee runs. Come over to chat. Normal friend stuff.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">But over
time, our conversations ran deeper. We got closer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">Until one
night we crossed the line.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">Our
friendship turned into a complicated mess.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">I’d gone
and fallen for a guy who’d sworn off commitment and kids.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">I knew
Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn’t fit into
any plan he’d ever imagined for himself.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">He was
wrong for me—so wrong that I’d dubbed him the “anti-boyfriend.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: inherit;">Then why
did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?</span></span></div>

They were neighbors but didn't really "meet" until Carys-not-Paris decided that the noise from the other side of the room has to stop. It wasn't helping her sleep let alone feeling alone in her bed, while the other side of the thin walls is obviously having fun until the wee hours of the morning (talk about stamina). He was gracious with what she told him, and that started a friendship. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i><b>Pacing:</b></i></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">What I like about this novel is it didn't dive right into the relationship thing. There was attraction brewing, but, they stayed on the friendzone for a while and got to know each other. They respected the boundaries that were set, chemistry was palpable, but didn't feel awkward until both of them did something. (LOL)</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i><b>Characters:</b></i></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">How can you not love both? </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Carys is a pretty strong woman to raise a child on her own without the help of the sperm donor. She was a great ballerina dancer, but all went to the drain when she had an accident. Nevertheless, it didn't deter her with life. Sure, it was sad, but she managed. Life throws her lemons, and she made good lemonade out of it. It's great that she always put Sunny as her priority and not herself.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">As for Deacon, he's just a swoony guy. Sure, he's handsome and all that - and may have his issues, but it was nice that he was trying to get pass through it gradually with the help of Carys and later his family. I love the fact that he takes care of Sunny as if his own and he tries even though its hard. (Yes, taking care of a baby is hard, especially when it's not yours. Raise your hand if you can relate!!!)</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><i>Overall:</i></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><ul><li>I love the two characters, and the fact that they chose to be friends first rather than crossing the line.</li><li>I love how they finally got together. </li><li>I love that little fact she inserted about Sunny, just to subtly remind readers.True, she might have that little extra on her, but doesn't make her any different. (Yay for that). </li></ul><div>Readers would surely love this new book from Penelope Ward - it's light, fun and sexy and would give you thoughts to ponder upon.</div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_kcd4HNcggqFd68B4YIHwxGIaG75Tg1k_Ha96bomH2Me0IvRiMdHsNfvglTrEVypqNNsFGrOfzCoIjRzDsRGP4mw8X-fvftuR9QdXzMm7ot2Hc1RKvaFCjozK-bP2Wz_AQwb_FGz0A0/s640/BlogPostDivider_zps014cae2b.png" /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Characters⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Romance ⭐⭐⭐⭐</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Steam ⭐⭐⭐⭐</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Pacing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Plot ⭐⭐⭐⭐</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b>OVERALL: 4.5 </b>⭐</div></div>

<span face="" style="font-size: large;"><b><i><span lang="">From</span></i></b><b><span lang=""> New York Times <i>bestselling author
Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.<o:p></o:p></i></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">At first,
my neighbor Deacon frustrated me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">Sure, he
was great-looking and friendly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">But our
walls were thin, and on occasion, he’d bring women to his place and keep me
awake while he “entertained” them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">As a single
mother to an infant, I didn’t appreciate it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">So, finally
it was my turn. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">When my
daughter wouldn’t stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my
door. <br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">Miraculously,
at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying. And when he held her…she
eventually fell asleep in his arms.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">Deacon was
rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr.
Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle was a baby whisperer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">After that
night, we became friends.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">He’d go for
coffee runs. Come over to chat. Normal friend stuff.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">But over
time, our conversations ran deeper. We got closer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">Until one
night we crossed the line.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">Our
friendship turned into a complicated mess.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">I’d gone
and fallen for a guy who’d sworn off commitment and kids.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">I knew
Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn’t fit into
any plan he’d ever imagined for himself.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">He was
wrong for me—so wrong that I’d dubbed him the “anti-boyfriend.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-size: large;">Then why
did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?</span></span></div>

And when he held her…she eventually fell asleep in his arms.<br /> <br />Deacon was rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr. Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle was a baby whisperer.<br /> <br />After that night, we became friends.<br /> <br />He’d go for coffee runs. Come over to chat.

We got closer.<br /> <br />Until one night we crossed the line.<br /> <br />Our friendship turned into a complicated mess.<br /> <br />I’d gone and fallen for a guy who’d sworn off commitment and kids.<br /> <br />I knew Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn’t fit into any plan he’d ever imagined for himself.<br /> <br />He was wrong for me—so wrong that I’d dubbed him the “anti-boyfriend.”<br /> <br />Then why did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?<br /> <br /> <br /><strong>GOODREADS LINK:</strong> </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3D01b809910c%26e%3Dec626ae4d2&source=gmail&ust=1598558153346000&usg=AFQjCNFqm8Us85bAvoTzH793Faf0KYLI6g" href="https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05&id=01b809910c&e=ec626ae4d2" style="color: #6dc6dd;

How goes it?” He flashed a wide smile.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br />When people ask me my name, for some stupid reason, I sometimes answer, “Carys, like Paris,” particularly when I’m nervous. That was the case the first time I met Deacon.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br />A whiff of his amazing smell put my body on alert. He looked handsome as always. Today he wore a camel-colored suede coat with a shearling collar. His blue eyes, which stood out against his tanned skin, glimmered under the fluorescent lights overhead, which also brought out the copper tint to his otherwise medium-brown hair. He was at least six-foot-two—a beanstalk to my five-foot-four self.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br />This was my opportunity to bring up last night. But now that he was right here, towering over me, his musky smell saturating the air, I seemed to have lost the words. Still, I was determined to speak up now or never.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br />My heartbeat accelerated. Here goes. Still out of breath from my sprint up the stairs, I said, “Well, honestly, in answer to your question… I’d love to say I’m doing great, but I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. So, I’ve been better.”</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br />He frowned. “I’m sorry to hear that.”</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br />“Actually, it’s sort of your fault.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Deacon’s forehead crinkled. “My fault?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Yeah. I don’t know if you realize this, but your bed is right up against mine, on the opposite side of the wall. Your…interactions…last night woke me up, and I had a hard time getting back to sleep.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Boom.<br />There.<br />Said it.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Deacon closed his eyes momentarily. “Shit. I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were right behind me.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Yeah. It’s basically like I’m…right there.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Well, that was rude of me. I should’ve invited you to join.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">What? It felt like all my blood rushed to my head.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">He held out his palms. “I’m kidding. Bad sense of humor comes out when I feel awkward, I guess.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Slipping a piece of my hair behind my ear, I brushed off his comment. “I know you’re kidding.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Totally kidding.” He smiled. “But I’ll try to be more considerate now that I know you can hear everything. You should’ve said something.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">I tilted my head. “How exactly would that have worked? Barging in on two naked people? That’s why I’m saying something now.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Solid point. But I take it last night wasn’t the first time you overheard things?”<br />I looked down at my feet. “No, it wasn’t.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“You could’ve banged on the wall or something.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“I’m not one to rudely interrupt someone’s…personal happenings. I just wanted you to be aware of the situation. We don’t need to discuss it further.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Maybe we should come up with a code.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“What do you mean?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Like, If I’m disturbing your peace, you play a song and crank it up to send me a message.” He snapped his fingers. “Something ironic like ‘The Sounds of Silence’ by Simon and Garfunkel.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Can’t exactly crank up a song when a baby is sleeping.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">His smile faded. “See? That goes to show you how clueless I am. Clueless and so sorry, Carys. Truly. I’ll try not to let it happen again.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“It better not, fuckboy!” a voice shouted from behind one of the apartment doors.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Deacon and I turned around in unison. I noticed Mrs. Winsbanger’s door move across the hall. The old lady must have been listening in. She lived alone, and I often spotted her peeking out her door, spying on people.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Deacon grimaced. “Mrs. Winsbanger loves me.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Apparently I’m not the only one who overheard things last night,” I said.<br />His face turned red. His embarrassment was a bit surprising. I’d expected him to be more cocky.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“I’ll move my bed to the other side of the room. That should help.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Well, that would be nice, if it’s not too much trouble.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“It’s not.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Happy to have the conversation over with, I let out a long breath. “Okay, well, I’ll let you get going.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">He didn’t budge and seemed to be examining my face. “You okay?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Yeah. Why?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“You seem frazzled.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Well, yeah. I didn’t get good sleep, I’m trying to get things done in possibly the only hour of the day I have free, and we just had the most awkward conversation EVER.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“This is just me—my life. I have what could be barely more than an hour to eat my lunch and have some quiet time before my daughter wakes up from her nap.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Ah.” He scratched his chin. “How old is she now?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Six months.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Deacon knew I was a single mom. He’d run into me one day and helped me bring groceries in while I tried to juggle Sunny and her stroller.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">I was just about to head back inside my apartment when his voice stopped me.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Do you need anything?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">I wasn’t entirely sure what he meant. “Like what?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Something from the store? A…coffee, maybe? I’m just headed out to run a quick errand, but I can stop somewhere on the way back.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“It’s the least you can do, monkey balls!” Mrs. Winsbanger chimed in from across the hall.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">She was apparently still listening.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Did she just fucking call me monkey balls?” he whispered.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">At that moment, I lost it. Laughter got a hold of me, and it took almost a minute before I could even speak. Deacon laughed, too, but I think he was more cracking up at my reaction.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“No idea why she just called you monkey balls. But I haven’t laughed this hard in weeks.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">After I finally calmed down, Deacon repeated his earlier question.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Anyway, as I was saying, can I get you a coffee or something?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">His offer gave me pause. It was rare that anyone asked if I needed anything. I had a couple of good friends in the city, but they worked and had busy social lives. It wasn’t like they were around in the middle of the day to run to the store for me. And given that it was fall in New York, it was getting chilly out. I had to have a damn good reason to take Sunny out in the cold.<br />Honestly, I was dying for a latte from Starbucks. Running to the coffee shop was definitely something people without babies took for granted. It wasn’t worth having to bundle Sunny up.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“I would love a vanilla latte from Starbucks, if you pass one on your way back,” I finally said.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Done.” He smiled. “That’s it?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Just one pump of vanilla would be great.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“One pump. Got it. Anything else?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Isn’t that enough? It’s hardly a necessity. I shouldn’t be taking advantage.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Take advantage of me. What else do you need? Seriously. It’s the least I can do after disturbing your peace last night.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Take advantage of me. Yup. Mind straight in the gutter. “You’re not my gopher.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Carys….” His baritone voice turned serious, and he repeated in a slow and exaggerated manner, “What. Do. You. Need? I could run to the store.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">There was something else I desperately needed.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Diapers?” I said hesitantly.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Okay.” He laughed. “You’re gonna have to help me out with those. I’ve never purchased them in my life.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">Before I could tell him what size, he handed me his phone. I was all too aware of the brief touch of his hand.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Enter your digits. I’ll text you from the store to make sure I get the right kind.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">I did as he said before handing him back the phone, once again enjoying the contact from that brief exchange. Cheap thrills were as good as it got these days.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">He put it in his pocket. “Anything else?”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Not that I can think of.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Alright. Well, if you change your mind, you can let me know when I text.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Thank you. I really appreciate it.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">“Talk to ya in a bit,” he said before heading down the hall.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #999999;">I stood by my door and watched him walk away.

I sign it Juliet Capulet, so goodbye, famous football player with abs of steel, and good luck tracking down this small-town librarian.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">But Jack keeps showing up in places I least expect him.

Wow. Never realized that.</div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">I have been always picky when it comes to fantasy, magic, dystopian kinda books. But this one just rocked my world entirely. The Kingdom would fascinate you at one point and would creep you out in the next - maybe because I feel that this might happen in the future, and consequences would be similar. So, there ya go, a bit creepy really.</div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">Nevertheless, Jess Rothenberg carefully constructed a world that can make your dreams come true. Yes, better than Disney, and less scary than Jurassic World. We meet creatures that we haven't seen before maybe because they are extinct, or they are hybrid of the creatures that we have now. But what makes this story more interesting are the Fantasists. </div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">Fantasist are similar to humans. They look like one, and they would interact like one. The only difference is that, they are not really humans - they are programmed for that sort of thing. To create an illusion of perfection, to make dreams come true, not to lie, to make mistakes, to make people happy and safe inside the kingdom. They weren't programmed to feel - most especially to fall in love.</div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">However, like humans who made them, Fantasist are not perfect.</div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">We are introduced to Ana - one of the older fantasist. She's a great character, sometimes I'd forget she's not even human. Initially, she just obey and do what she is directed to do, until she met Owen. </div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote><div><span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: georgia;"><i>"Love is when everything is a prison," he says, "except the place where you want to be."</i></span></div></blockquote></div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">It didn't end in an HEA though, because Ana was accused of murdering Owen. </div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">The trial of the century began, the secrets of the Kingdom, of the people managing it, and the creatures who live in there began to surface - and it is just the beginning. What seems to be perfect from the outside, seems to be rotten in the inside. Everything is evolving, some things have gone wrong.</div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="color: #999999; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">Exhilarating read, <b>Jess Rothenberg</b> made sure her readers were glued. From the start to the finish, you will just want to know what happens next, what happens to the other Fantasist, or why would Ana even harm Owen. I enjoyed how the story progressed.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This book didn’t made me cry, in all fairness. This book filled me with so much hope that despite the profound sense of loss a person goes through, he or she can push the darkness and find the happy ending a person deserves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Laya loss her husband. They just got married. Having a husband whose work is to do crazy, out-of-this-world stunt made her already a bit nervous. But she knew that he always practice and prepares himself to do the tricks. Until his last. And Laya saw how it happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Micah is an introvert. His life is boring. He might be an Ivy-League graduate, but he had no idea how he ended up in a firm where his supervisor steals his work and the latter’s wife harasses him. Nevertheless, he is easy to like. I think of him as sort of a nerd, who likes to keep it to himself. Thank goodness his twin is his total opposite. His life is quite mundane until Laya comes into his life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But then Laya is not yet over her grief. She uses facebook and writes comments on her husband’s page as though he is still alive. Micah tries to make Laya see that she can still live by leaving her anonymous gifts and notes, trying to recreate the sense of adventure she once shared with Cameron. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What I like about this book is that Laya didn’t immediately get a quick fix on her grief, we went through the journey together. From her lowest points, to her craziness, to trying to fix herself before going into a relationship, to finally healing. It was an emotional rollercoaster, with loads of painful realizations, and hard truths - but the ride was worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I liked Micah - okay it was creepy that he did some sleuthing on Laya and left all those stuffs for her - that’s borderline stalker-ish, nevertheless he’s a great guy. He’s nice, well too nice that he almost didn’t have a backbone, but he changed throughout the story. I love his relationship with his twin, the way he persuade Laya to do things that will get her out of the darkness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I enjoyed reading The Last Post, it wasn’t the emotional, tear-my-heart apart kind of story I was expecting. I still liked it. I liked the fact that readers accompanied Laya in her journey with grief and towards her happy-ever-after. It’s a story of survival, of loss, hope, and love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have always adored the second-chance romance plot, and of course, Penelope Ward. <b>The Day He Came Back</b> is no exception, at all. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Gavin and Raven were young when they first met, and they hit it off instantly. Problem is that Gavin is very, very rich, and Raven works for their family. Not to mention, her mom works there as well, and Gavin's mother wasn't really a fan of them getting together. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Despite the circumstances, they had a wonderful summer romance. They fell in love, and were happy. Only that, it didn't have it's happy ending.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Ten years later, Raven was back in their hometown, this time as a nurse taking care of Gavin's dad. She didn't expect that life would lead her back home, but what she didn't expect more was to see Gavin, who was supposed to be in Europe. She wasn't prepared to see him. But he came back unexpectedly and there was no choice but to face reality.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The plot might be familiar, but I still loved this book. Penelope Ward gave us characters to hate, love and adore. Characters who are complex, and changed as time passes through. Characters whom you think you wouldn't like, but ended up rooting for them. I like Raven, and the choices she made. It might have broken her heart, but at that time, it was a very selfless act. She's truly amazing. Gavin, is great as well. He's an amazing man who knows what he wants, who is ready to fight back, and knows when to give up. He's smart and dedicated and loves unconditionally. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I enjoyed reading this book, the ups and downs of their romance, how they came together and gave their love story a second chance and finally the ending that I have been dying to know. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">From the bestselling author of Just Remember to Breathe and The Last Hour, a shocking and poignant story of a family on the brink of destruction and the transformational events that could bring them back together—or tear them apart. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Every day, Cole Roberts reminds himself that life wasn’t always this bleak. He was once passionately in love with Erin. Sam used to be an artistic and lively kid. They hadn’t always lived in a shabby two-room house in rural Alabama, where he runs a mediocre restaurant in the middle of nowhere.</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">That was before Brenna disappeared. It was before Cole lost his job and they lost their home.</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Every day it gets worse. Erin drinks wine out of the bottle and spends her days with a tormented expression, searching the web for signs of their daughter. Sam hides in his room and rarely speaks. And Cole works himself to a stupor for a paycheck a fraction of the size of his old salary. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Until one day a phone call changes everything.</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">winter flower is at once a tragic tale of the disappearance of a child; struggling with gender identity; of the dark world of sex-trafficking and the transformation and healing of a family. Sheehan-Miles’s longest novel delves into the depths of family life—and how, sometimes, we can heal and find restoration.</span></i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">5/5</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Charles Sheehan-Miles once again delivered another thought-provoking, heart-pounding novel laced with so much reality that would keep his readers on the edge of their seats. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Roberts family was just an ordinary family. He was in love with his wife, and his son, Sam, used to be an artistic and happy kid. They have a nice house in a nice neighborhood. He has a great job, and Erin was a stay at home mom. But everything went down the drain when their daughter, Brenna disappeared. He lost his job, they lost their home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They end up in the middle of nowhere Alabama, in a worn-out house, where from his executive table, he runs a small restaurant. Everyday, their lives just spiral, Erin is finding comfort at the bottom of the double, while spending her days trying to find their daughter through the internet. Sam is keeping things to himself, and not talking to any of them. And him? He works himself to tiredness for a meager salary to support his family. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can’t help but get the feels and submerge yourself with the characters as all of them try to survive. Cole, Erin, Sam and Brenna. This wasn’t for the faint of heart. The journey was not a walk in the park. It was hard, there were loads of bumps in the roads, and mistakes were done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But what I love about this book is despite all the things that happened is the amount of support that surrounded the family. In their own small or big way, people helped, and it made all the difference in the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Especially with Sam and his secrets. I think he was the most affected when Brenna disappeared. He did not just lost his sister. He lost his best friend and his confidant. No one understood him better than his sister. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And Brenna, she’d been through hell, and I was glad our author did not sugarcoat it. It was painful to read and just heartbreaking. And perhaps what makes it so painful is the fact that this is happening in our society, and not all are lucky enough to find their daughters and bring them back into their homes. You can see her journey right from the start, and the rescue wasn’t really the end. There was so much more to do after she’d found her way back to her family. It was hard, but they were all working on it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This book is all about love, family, survival, acceptance and forgiveness. This is something that would stay with your for a very long time and would tickle not only your senses, but your awareness of the things that is happening around us. Charles Sheehan-Miles managed to packed several social topics that are considered taboos into one book, and making it into one, big giant emotional rollercoaster ride, which was way worth it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Molly Alcott didn’t expect to open her mailbox one summer morning and find an old letter stuffed between bills and a supermarket flyer. Penned in familiar handwriting, dated over fifteen years ago, the letter was written to Molly after her first date with the man she’ll never forget.</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Week after week, new letters appear.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Finn and Molly had it all, marriage, career, and kids, until one mistake tore down the marriage and they ended up in a divorce. Now, six years later, both of them had adjusted in their lives and coparenting their children. Molly is finally able to stand on her feet and getting used to be a single mom. Then a letter arrived at her mailbox.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">It was the letter than Finn wrote for her on their first date. A letter he never sent, and she never meant to have read. One drunken movie night didn’t help either. Suddenly, Finn was around again. In her house, in her bed, and in their lives. Is this a start of their second chance? Did he ever forgave him for what she did? </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Another problem though, who are sending the letters? </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is why I love Devney Perry, how she can turn heartaches into happily ever after without so much of a fuss and wouldn’t leave you with the words, </span><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">really? They’re together again?</span></i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I have been waiting for</span><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Letters to Molly </span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ever since I have read about the two of them in the previous book. There was something between her and Finn that can still be saved, only if they would heal, only if they would learn to forgive and forget the mistakes of the past.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">They were just so much in love with each other, and you just have to ask, when did it start to break? Did one of them noticed it and try to save the marriage before it crumbled down? How can something so solid, so true and so amazing turned bitter, and broken?</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is Finn and Molly’s story, right from the beginning, to the end, and to the beginning of the new chapters in their lives. It’s a journey of marriage, the raw, painful reality of it, when the honeymoon is over, and life sets in. It’s a story of betrayal and redemption. Of forgiveness and love. Of loss and finding what’s right in front of you. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Letters to Molly tells us the importance of family, of trust and communication within the family and especially with the couple. It reminds us that there is more to life than building a company and making money. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">To say that I loved this book is underrated, because Devney Perry went beyond it. </span><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Letters to Molly</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> would make you believe in the great power of love. How it can move mountains and heal broken hearts and forgive even the gravest of all mistakes. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">As to who sends the letters, I had my wild guess. Turned out I was right.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I look forward for more books fro this author!</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rachel Van Dyken proved once again that she’s the ultimate queen when it comes to Mafia Romance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have been waiting for Andrei’s HEA ever since, and OMG - it was so worth the wait. I have read about him in numerous Eagle Elite books, I have loathed him and loved him. But with DEBASE - knowing him intimately, hearing his thoughts, sharing his emotions - you are one heck of a man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I never thought I’d see him fall. But of course, I know it would be inevitable, but I always wonder, what kind of woman would make this man fall to his knees. A woman who shares the similar nightmares, almost similar past - problem is,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">will they share similar future?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When supposedly she wouldn't have one. Instead of killing me on the spot, Andrei kept her. Saved her, made her his (not in every sense of the word), BUT <b>SHE </b>WAS HIS, and under his protection. What happens when the brothers know about this? Will love and loyalty save them both from the inevitable?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love how the story went, the secrets, the surprises, the brotherhood. They were still fun and deadly. I love that they welcomed Andrei into the group and made him a part of it. There were still some secrets looming that might change the future of everyone involved but I was just hoping that Alice, who suffered enough would get to have the HEA she deserves. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's intense, filled with so much pain, suffering, loyalty, love and redemption (which I was really looking forward to). Ready your heart, because Debase is going to test it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.9733px;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And it was just as epic as the rest of the Eagle Elite Series, and this was a great way to start another series to watch out for. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4.5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This book is just spectacular!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What happened in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas, Griffin and Brooke learned it the hard way when their one night of passion had resulted to an amazing baby girl. Problem is, Griffin just signed up with the Chicago Bears and Brooke doesn't want to move. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But they did their best to co-parent their child, and they became good friends. They would talk everyday for seven years, and would share decision in how to raise their child. They had their rules, and they followed it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
His friends have other ideas though, and when he finally realized that they were right - there was no stopping him. He wanted Brooke, and he was going to get her. How to convince her? That would be the biggest challenge, or so he thinks.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because just as when he had her, tragedy strike - one that hit him right through the core and one that might not end in happily-ever-after. But Griffin does not give up easily, and will take the hardest route to survive the challenge. This is where I fell in love with Griffin - the fact that he knew his priorities is just amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This book made me laugh, squirm and made my heart ache. But I loved it. I like their daughter - she's adorable. What I love most though, is that friendship that they shared trying to raise that baby girl. From there, love just grew, and we all know that friendship is the best foundation for every relationship. I love Mel, she's the best, and will she have her HEA as well?</div>

I recognized that look in his eyes. It was the exact same look he’d had before he’d kissed me in Vegas. It might have been seven years ago, but when a man looks at your lips like he wants to explore every inch of them without stopping for air, you don’t forget it.</span></i></span></div>

They parted, and our mouths moved in rhythm with each other’s, his lips urging and persuading my own to follow suit. </span></i></span></div>

Teague enjoys the warmth of South Carolina with her husband and two daughters. The stereotypes about peach cobbler and sweet tea are not overstated. After years in the medical field, she is now enjoying every minute of being a stay-at-home mom. She loves wine, the beach, wine on the beach, and crying at Disney movies. When she doesn't have a book in her hand, she can be found pestering her husband with pictures of animals she wants to rescue, as well as debating whether to exercise or take a nap.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Book Review</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4/5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Arie has been in love with Wes since forever. He was her brother's best friend. One of the popular guys in school, and she was just Aria, the art geek. She gave him everything. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">But things happen, and they went off their separate ways. With a broken heart, she pursued her arts. She didn't realize she'd see him again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This time, he was saving her best friend's life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
The circumstances might be unfortunate for their paths to cross again, but Wes made a mistake in the past, and there was no way he was letting go of Aria this time. He had waited so long to finally have her, and now she's right in front of her.<br />
<br />
I love how the two came back together again. It took a lot of convincing for Aria (thank goodness). I love Aria's friendship with Josh and how they were there for each other every single time.<br />
<br />
I always love reading about love and second chances, and this one made no difference. Let's add up a bit of mystery makes The Edge of Forever a nice read. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>That inked bad boy who’s been flirting hard with me since he rode into town? Turns out he’s my new housemate, which is one hell of a problem since our chemistry is so hot it should be illegal.<br /><br /></b>I have a fantastic family, great best friends, a job I love…and now I’m up for a promotion to police sergeant. I need total focus—not a flirty, dirty, irresistible, tattooed hottie riding into my town on his motorcycle. Can I arrest him for being too good-looking? When he kisses me senseless in the back of a waffle truck, it’s criminal, the things he makes me think about hot syrup and melted butter. One order of hot, fluffy hookup to go, please. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />But the next time I see him, it’s not for our date with benefits. He’s the guy who just rented the room above my garage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />I need the rent to pay my bills, not a man like Derek, who I soon discover to be strong, caring, generous, good with kids, and kind to puppies… If I’m not careful, he’ll be moving into my heart as well as my house.<br /><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i> </i></b>A no-strings-attached fling with the fiery redhead who revs my engine? Why, yes, that does sound like a delicious perk of my new job in this new town, thank you very much. I’m coming off a bad relationship, and I have zero interest in anything serious. I’ve got all the serious I need helping my sister take care of her three little kids while her husband is deployed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Except, surprise! Perri isn’t just my future fling. Turns out she’s my sexy, sassy landlord.<br />A lease definitely counts as “strings attached,” and as much as I’d like to get tangled in her sheets, I can’t let myself get tangled up in a relationship.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />But as soon as we put the cuffs on our escapades, I learn over late-night conversations in the kitchen, that my landlord is so much more than the sexiest woman I’ve ever met– she has a quick mind and the biggest heart.<b><br /></b></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The hairs on my neck stand on end. That gravelly, too-sexy-for-words tone delivers a wave of sensation across my skin.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With an avocado in hand, I turn around, and my eyes feast. How is it possible for him to be even hotter today? Is this a trick only the handsomest men can employ? The ability to multiply their good looks?</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Somehow, maybe a trick of the light, he’s exponentially sexier in those shades, his gray T-shirt showing off swirls of ink, and jeans so well-worn they cling caressingly to his legs.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But it’s his face, most of all, that draws me in as soon as he flicks off his glasses and I get a full dose of dark, soulful brown eyes full of naughty wishes.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Gee, was I speed-walking?” I toss out, mainly to keep him standing there, because I’m mesmerized next by his tattoos. Sunbursts and tribal bands curl over his sinewy arms, and I’d like to like them. I’d like to know if he’s inked elsewhere and how far, or how low, the artwork on his body descends.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With a tilt of his head and a far-too-knowing grin, he answers, “Let me guess. You either didn’t realize it, or you have someplace <i>real important</i> to be?”</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“So important. I have to…” I trail off then make my voice as husky as can be as I set down my avocado, “…make guacamole.”</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“You don’t say,” he rasps, his low baritone caressing me all over. “I could help you with that, officer.”</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’m Mr. I Can Show You How Ripe They Are.” He steps into the booth, moving next to me, getting into my space.</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A tremble rolls over my shoulders as he crowds me. “Let’s see.” He strokes his neat beard, and I rein in a whimper. I want my hands on that scruff.</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He studies the sea of avocados, reaching for one at last and then sliding even closer, so his shoulder touches mine. It’s the match to my kindling and strikes a fire inside me.</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He cups the fruit in his palm, then brings it near my chest. I draw a quick breath, then flick my hair off my shoulders.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Before I can reply—I’m honestly not sure I can form intelligible words—he rubs his other hand over the rind. “See, you want to find the one that’s ripe and”—he pauses and turns his face to meet my gaze, his dark eyes holding mine—“ready to eat.”</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A shudder hijacks my body. “Is that so?”</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I don’t need a tutorial in picking avocados. Please. I know how to pick them just fine.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But I want his lesson. Want to hear his voice. Watch those hands move. Feel him slide closer.</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“It’ll feel slightly soft, and it’ll yield to just the right amount of gentle pressure.”</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And that pressure builds between my legs, an insistent throb. “How do you tell if it’s enough pressure?”</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He pushes a thumb against the flesh of the fruit, making a husky hum low in his throat. “Just like that. See how it responds?”</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He turns, angling his body nearer to me, his dark eyes shining with desire as he roams them over my face, my hair, my breasts. “Just the way I like it.”</span></span></div>
<div class="m_-8407323937697936808gmail-normal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">While I don’t have the time or inclination for dating, dinners, or fitting someone into my very busy schedule, I’m pretty sure I could deal with a little ruination.</span></span></div>

I love how the two characters banter - their chemistry is just off the charts, even when they first met, and you just couldn't wait how they would finally get together! Plus, they are super amazing. Perri is a brilliant cop, and is off to get the promotion of her life, which may or may not include a kissing contest.</div>

Derek doesn't need a new relationship. He has been severely burnt before, and he was here not just for a new job but to help her sister with her little rascals whose husband is back in Afghanistan. You can't help but love him - especially when he is with the kids. Completely adorable, and out of his element, but he just loves them. You can feel how deeply they care for them.</div>

It might have started with her wanting him to be her partner in the kissing contest - but with constant practice, late-night talks, and him cooking for her (did I ever mentioned he cooked????), this sort-of fling turned out to be more!</div>

Their chemistry is super intense, and I just love how Lauren Blakely does it. This book is the ultimate-feel good, no unnecessary drama and uber-hot read that will surely warm up your spring nights!</div>

Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. </span></span></div>

They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My goal is to write books that you can get lost in and stories that will leave you with a smile and a full heart. If you can forget about the real world while you're reading and fall in love with my characters, then I've done my job. A lot of what I write has real life aspects in it, but that's what makes the stories so relatable- the fact that they could happen to anyone... and have! </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I live in California with my son, Blake. If you can't find me sitting behind a computer screen, then there's a good chance I'm sitting in the bleachers of a baseball stadium watching him play. I love traveling to new places, meeting my readers and spending time with the love of my life, my very own second chance romance, who inspires me daily. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I know you have a million books to choose from and I am humbled, grateful and thankful each time you choose to read one of mine, or tell someone else to read them.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>BOOK REVIEW</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4.5/5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you love the first book of the series, you haven't seen the last of it yet - because it just gotten better. So, Austin had his HEA in <a href="https://reviewsofabookmaniac.blogspot.com/2019/02/blog-tour-book-review-lessons-from-one-night-stand.html" target="_blank">Lessons from a One Night Stand</a> and we thought our girl Brooklyn would have the same with her boyfriend, after all they were getting married. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Good thing that didn't happen. Yep, our Brookie was jilted on the day of her wedding by her a**hat fiance. He was lucky enough not to be in the vicinity or the Bailey boys might have killed him after what he did to their sister.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brooklyn was lucky enough to have her family hovering over her, but she needed to have an alone time and reflect. Only that didn't happen as well because fate has other plans. When she ended up back at her apartment, her new good-looking neighbor was set out to help her by bringing in Chinese food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What she didn't expect is this hot-new neighbor to be her boss. Oh no.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It didn't stop the attraction to grow between Wyatt and Brooklyn though. Wyatt was very thoughtful, nice and easy on the eyes. He was there for her when she needed the most, and it helps that the Bailey boys like him. He has his own secrets though, secrets that might set them apart. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I enjoyed reading this book. I laughed a lot with the family - they were just hilarious, even at the face of heartbreak. I loved how their love story worked out, it didn't feel like a rebound. Oh no, it grew, and I was glad both of them didn't jump into it right away. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Advice From A Jilted Bride is an easy, sexy and romantic read.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I just can't wait for the rest of the Bailey's HEA! <br /></span><br />

Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have "Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle" (okay...you caught us, that's our tagline). A little about us... We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.</span></span></div>

Teague enjoys the warmth of South Carolina with her husband and two daughters. The stereotypes about peach cobbler and sweet tea are not overstated. After years in the medical field, she is now enjoying every minute of being a stay-at-home mom. She loves wine, the beach, wine on the beach, and crying at Disney movies. When she doesn't have a book in her hand, she can be found pestering her husband with pictures of animals she wants to rescue, as well as debating whether to exercise or take a nap.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A glass castle shatters as easily as a glass house—all it takes is one stone.<br /><br />Prince Edward has known this all of his life, and taken staunch measures to ensure he doesn’t give the public any reason to pick up their rocks. Or torches. Or pitchforks. As a twenty-two-year-old in line to ascend the throne, he lives more like a cloistered monk than his college-aged peers. Restraint is the tone of his life, resilience the theme.<br /><br />That is, until he meets a young woman who couldn’t care less about his title—unless she’s poking fun at it. Charlotte Everly grew up a stone’s throw away from the royal family’s summer house, but her life was, and is, entirely different from the prince’s.<br /><br />They clash at each turn, disagree on every topic, and bear a general contempt for one another. Until . . .<br /><br />One night, accompanied by one proposal, leads to one lapse in judgment . . .<br /><br />Results in a nationwide scandal neither of them will escape.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Glass Castle Prince </b>is a fairy tale where a prince fell in love with a commoner. But of course, it isn’t that easy. There were load of bumps and twists along the road before they get into their HEA.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Edward was groomed to become king one day. But the twenty-two year old prince was far from ready to ascend into throne. He was giving himself time with his friends in one of their royal homes to think and enjoy his life. What he didn’t expect was to meet Charlotte.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Charlotte wants a break from life and school. She wanted to think if she really want to do with her future. And for the meantime, she got a job house-sitting for the royal family. It didn’t include babysitting royals, especially the Crowned-Prince Edward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Both of them are at their cross-roads, trying to think about their future and what paths to take. What they didn’t expect is for their paths to cross and to fall in love. I love both characters. Edward is pretty amazing - he’s very composed, honorable, kind and loyal. It’s easy to love him and of course his rowdy friends. Charlotte grew up way differently but she was intelligent, witty and nice. I love the banter between her and Edward, and his friends. There was no way that she was going to look after these guys. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Glass Castle Prince </b>is easy on the heart. I enjoyed reading it - it’s sweet, sexy and no unnecessary drama. I thought it would end with a cliffy, but thank goodness it didn’t. Hopefully, his friends will get their stories too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nicole Williams is the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of contemporary and young adult romance, including the Crash and Lost & Found series. Her books have been published by HarperTeen and Simon & Schuster in both domestic and foreign markets, while she continues to self-publish additional titles. She is working on a new YA series with Crown Books (a division of Random House) as well. She loves romance, from the sweet to the steamy, and writes stories about characters in search of their happily even after. She grew up surrounded by books and plans on writing until the day she dies, even if it’s just for her own personal enjoyment. She still buys paperbacks because she’s all nostalgic like that, but her kindle never goes neglected for too long. When not writing, she spends her time with her husband and daughter, and whatever time’s left over she’s forced to fit too many hobbies into too little time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>BOOK REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4/5</b><br />
<br />
Raleigh is a walking disaster. She seemed to stumble down every single time. She's awkward, she's clumsy and she's shy. But out woman has the biggest heart, especially for her students.<br />
<br />
Ezra was the boy that every one wants in high school. And now, he's the coach of the baseball team in their school, and she was still invisible to him until his box of condoms accidentally hit her face and caused bruises.<br />
<br />
Ezra finally noticed her, and she was a bit hesitant. This was the man that everyone wanted after all, why would he want her? But he was patient and very nice to her. He likes her loads and was willing to do anything to prove that she was the woman he wanted.<br />
<br />
Her past was her baggage, and it was just heartbreaking to see her sometimes shivering with terror about simple things. It was because of Ezra that somehow she regained her confidence back bit by bit. It was really nice to see how she changed in this novel - it wasn't unbelievably fast - the change was gradual and you can't help but just cheer for her.<br />
<br />
I liked reading this book. The journey of the two characters to their HEA, the changes in their characters, the surprising twist and turns and not to mention that ending (OMG!) would make you want to grab this book!<br />

<b>BOOK REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
5/5<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rachel Van Dyken did it once again. She didn’t disappoint with Risky Play. It was hilarious, sweet, great plot and interesting characters that will make you read this book in one sitting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mac is a planner. She knew what she wanted in her life, and planned it perfectly. It wasn’t in her plan to be jilted right in front of the altar of the man who promised her forever. After that humiliating event in her life, she decided to go on their honeymoon alone. She met Slade in the plane.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first time they met was quite funny. I love the fact that Mac got rid of her inhibitions and jump to whatever she felt like doing. Slade was a willing partner. Although, they left the part of giving each other their real names. It felt real, and she felt good for the first time in months after what happened. When reality strike, their vacation was cut short, and Slade left her alone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Slade is a famous athlete. He decided to have a break after his controversial transfer, and it was refreshing to know that the lady sitting beside him on the plane didn’t know him. But he’d been an a**, and left her at the resort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next thing he knew is that she was working for him. How can he possibly resist the woman?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, the next time they met Slade was quite rude. But I was glad that it didn’t take long before Mac put him in his place. I love their banters, and their tug-of-wars about what they feel. I love Jagger and Matt and even Alfie. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love how Mac’s character evolved. She finally knew what she’s worth and she knew that she deserves better if not the best. Slade, aw, he can break your hearts, but he knows how to grovel, and he does it well. I adore the friendship that developed between Jagger and Slade and Matt as well - bromance at its finest. I enjoyed it immensely. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to read something light, fun, sexy, and romantic - you have to read Risky Play!</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Book Review</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5/5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
I am head over heels in love with this book!<br />
<br />
The first time I read the excerpt, I just knew I need to get my hands on this one, and it didn't disappoint.<br />
<br />
Love is sometimes just right in front of us, and we couldn't see it. We look further away. Livy Chapman is in love with her best friend Jessie Stephenson for forever. But she remained in the friendzone - he girl who copies his homework, supports him and hooks up with other girls in front of. So when Chase Mitchell, the starplayer of the soccer team offers himself to be her fake-boyfriend to drive off his crazy ex and have Jessie noticed her, she reluctantly agreed.<br />
<br />
But, it turned out that Chase Mitchell was more than just a pretty face. He can be sweet, caring, thoughtful, and a good kisser. He brings out the best in her, and looks at her like she's the most beautiful girl in the world even in her worst outfit. Although - this is just pretend right?<br />
<br />
What happens when the line gets blurred? Who will Livy choose?<br />
<br />
I love how their 'pretend' relationship became. I'm glad that Livy didn't exactly agree at first, and how Chase finally wore her down and convinced her. Only that Chase has motives of his own. The pacing was just perfect, and everything was just right. Nothing was rushed. There was enough anticipation that will take you to the edge of your seat.<br />
<br />
I love best friend romance, seriously. But there is always an exception - and it is this one. Livy deserves her HEA. She had been through so much when she was young, and is suffering from panic attacks and anxiety. I love that she has Sophie who has her back and supports her all the way. As for Chase, OMG, he's the best ever. He has his own secret that would seriously make you swoon and your heart melts. And god, did my heart break when Livy got stupid for a while there. I was just glad she finally realized who she wanted.<br />
<br />
This one is a must-read.<br />

She walked out of my life before, and I won’t let that happen again.<br /><br />They say some songs are better on the second take, and if there’s one thing I know for sure, this is our time for a replay.<br /><br />Replay is the fourth and final book in the Off Track Records novels, but can also be read as a standalone.<br /><br /><br /><strong>GOODREADS LINK: </strong><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3D072aafe8a6%26e%3Dec626ae4d2&source=gmail&ust=1552597954105000&usg=AFQjCNEQ0hfPadChvVczLwZt7EaXmG9nbQ" href="https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05&id=072aafe8a6&e=ec626ae4d2" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">https://www.goodreads.com/<wbr></wbr>book/show/44157508-replay</a><br /><br /><br /><strong>PURCHASE LINKS – $2.99 for a limited time!</strong><br /><br />US: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3Dc8cad5018b%26e%3Dec626ae4d2&source=gmail&ust=1552597954105000&usg=AFQjCNGDCl-x-sBciveKvynTM9QzTA5rhQ" href="https://amzn.to/2W16ujJ" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/2W16ujJ</a><br />UK: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3D5b2e558606%26e%3Dec626ae4d2&source=gmail&ust=1552597954106000&usg=AFQjCNGLGtPNvzKeeUTXEboAF_XYe8NCWQ" href="https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05&id=5b2e558606&e=ec626ae4d2" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">http://1click.bz/ReplayAMZNUK</a><br />CA: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3Da257535885%26e%3Dec626ae4d2&source=gmail&ust=1552597954106000&usg=AFQjCNHc_XUCiEY4KcPp9acnc6_sQr94AQ" href="https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05&id=a257535885&e=ec626ae4d2" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">http://1click.bz/ReplayAMZNCA</a><br />AU: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3D6434189976%26e%3Dec626ae4d2&source=gmail&ust=1552597954106000&usg=AFQjCNHC-3JHnYo3xknEpi52qV3SibUEwQ" href="https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05&id=6434189976&e=ec626ae4d2" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">http://1click.bz/ReplayAMZNAU</a><br /><br />Free in Kindle Unlimited<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>EXCERPT</strong></span><br /><i>“I’m sorry.” My throat constricts and I swallow.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“Okay.” She stares over my shoulder.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“Shit.” I shove my hands into the front pockets of my jeans. “I’m an idiot most of the time, and I make jokes. Because that’s what I do.”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />Her chin lifts, and her gaze meets mine. “I thought you played guitar.”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“Yeah. I mean, sure.” I rock back on my heels and shrug. “But I’m the guy who lightens the mood when things get too intense. I don’t have a filter. At least, I’ve ignored it for a long time.”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“Well, I don’t think you’re funny.” She crosses her arms over her chest.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“Yeah, I’m getting that vibe.” I should win an award for self-control because I don’t allow my gaze to drop from hers once, even though her tits must look fantastic pressed together by her arms.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“Then why say shit you know is gonna piss me off?” She lifts a brow and I swear there’s a slight hint of a smile.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“Because you’re hot when you’re mad.” I chew the inside of my cheek.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />She blinks as if I’m stupid. “Really?”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“It’s true! I’m not even kidding. It’s kind of a turn on how badass you’ve become.” I hold up my hands, because I’m being completely honest. “Can we have a re-do? I’ll try not to be an asshole, and maybe sometimes you can smile.”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />She rolls her eyes, but her tone is light. “You really think that’s possible?”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“I mean, sure.” I wink and give her my most charming grin. “You’re totally fighting it right now. Come on. I know you wanna smile.”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“Oh, Austin.” She glances up at the ceiling and only then gives in to a grin. She shakes her head and meets my gaze. “What am I going to do with you?”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />“I’d prefer something very, very dirty.

He’s the joker, the one who breaks the ice, and he likes his women. His was contented with his life and his bachelorhood, until he saw his friends being toppled down by love.

She was his best friend, the girl who believed in him, who he wanted, who he never had. She knew him before the fame and he knows it wasn’t the fame that Jayla wants now. The girl was now a woman.

It was sweet, sexy, fun and most of all, it has relevant contents. I love Jayla and her determination, and strength after all she have been through. She so deserve her happy-ever-after. As for Austin, it was a relief, probably not just for me, but for the rest of the group that he had got tired of his lifestyle and found the love of his life again. </span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); letter-spacing: 0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>AUTHOR BIO </strong></span><br />Kacey Shea is a mom of three, wife, and USA Today bestselling author who resides in sunny Arizona. She enjoys reading and writing romance novels as much as her son loves unicorns, which is a lot.<br /><br />When she's not writing you will find her playing taxi cab to her children while belting out her favorite tunes, meeting friends or family for food and to share some laughs, or sweating it out in the gym.<br /><br />She has an unhealthy obsession with firefighters. It could be the pants. It could be the fire. It's just hot.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t ask Audrey to pretend to be my fiancée. For starters:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. The paparazzi will eat her alive.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. So will I.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But I also have a million followers on social media who think we’re already engaged, and there are millions of dollars at stake.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;">I loved this book!</span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;">Dev is the best friend of your older brother that made you swoon when you were in your teens, and would make you squirm as an adult. He</span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;">’s way too sexy for his own good. He works as a model and has a gazillion followers in social media that made him famous. He had not seen Audrey in years, and it was indeed a good surprise when he saw her again for her brother’s wedding.</span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;">Audrey has a whole lot of baggage coming from her past. She lost her parents at a young age, dumped by her fiance and she was just floating and in between job. So when Dev accidentally ‘proposed’ to her to be his fake fiancee, she said yes. Who would’ve say no to him?</span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;">It started with a viral social media story that gave Dev a contract that he had been dying to have from a conservative company. All they had to do was to pretend that they are really engage. It was one heck of a ride for the both of them - it was fun and frustrating at times - and you can’t help but just feel for Dev and Audrey. </span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;">I love how both of them grow, most especially Audrey in the story. She finally found her purpose and her calling. </span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nevertheless, this book is a great read. It’s sweet, steamy and hilarious, the perfect trifecta! </span></span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #181818; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Shannon Wentworth’s biological clock is ticking, and she isn’t going to let her single status keep her from having a baby.

Until the bride goes AWOL, leaving Shannon to coddle the arrogant fiancé who has accused her of sabotaging his wedding.</span></div>

Victor Brooks never could have imagined that he’d be on a honeymoon for one. Only here he is, taking a hard look at his life after the younger women he thought he loved walked out. The woman who volunteers to help him reflect is the last person he expects to be attracted to. Between the tequila, the sun, and one earth-shattering kiss, Victor finds Shannon a distraction too sexy to ignore.</div>

They strike a deal: wait three months, cool off, and see if their tropical beach attraction is worth taking up when they go back home. Unfortunately, that’s just enough time for the past to come calling. All their best-laid plans are at risk. So is the last thing Shannon expected to matter the most: her heart.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Victor didn’t expect for his bride to run away and not turn up during the wedding. Well, he was too busy with work to realize that his wife-to-be is having cold feet. Instead of going back to work, he decided to go through the honeymoon alone. He didn’t expect that Shannon, the reason he was alone now, would be there as well. But spending more and more time with her seems to be appealing, especially when he finds her attractive and likes the fact that she’s calling him out from time to time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Both of them didn’t want to rush things, with him just being jilted at the altar, and her being the photographer of the supposed event. They strike a deal: wait for three months and see if the powerful attraction that pulls them together is still as potent. What happens when their pasts come to haunt them? Will they still have their happy-ever-after?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Shannon is pretty amazing. I like that she values her independence and wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. It took her some time, but she finally realize the value of herself and wouldn’t settle for anything less. As for Victor, I like the changes of his character. From a workaholic to someone who finally learns how to relax, step back and yes, fall in love. We have two, strong, independent characters come together, and it’s just beautiful. I love the fact that they didn’t rush into things, that both of them were counting down until they finally get to that date. The rest of the first wives club who were completely supportive of Shannon, and her decisions - whichever that makes her happy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had so much fun reading this book. If you are looking for something light, funny, sexy and romantic - Faking Romantic ticks all those boxes. Totally worth the read! </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
