My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The first book in this series of women who have been through the ringer. This story focuses on Athena, a self made millionaire who was traumatized at age 17. She took that experience and toughened herself up. She may have done so a little too much. When a stubborn, strong, hard headed man comes along, fireworks ignite. Can these two get over each others walls?

Athena wasn’t looking for love and of course that is what happens. Tru shows her what she needs and been missing. What Athena goes through as a minor molds her into the woman she is now. Will Athena and Tru let there past continue to haunt them or will they let their love heal them? I’m really enjoying this series can’t wait to read what happens next.

Bared. (Green St. Girls #1)Bared. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When your best friend demands you to live your life on her death bed, you tend to have to make good on the promises.

Athena is young and successful, being thrown out of your home at 17 and force to live on your own was a hard lesson to learn but in walked the family I choose, my girls, Gwyn, Indigo and Charlie became all the family I needed. Until Charlie got ill and all the money in the world which they had could not save her, so on her death bed in typical Charlie style she made me promise to live life and find love.

Tru is living the life he always wanted, most people say a Professional Pool Player is not really a career but tell his bank that. All he is interested in is the top prize and winning this will catapult him to the top of the listing and more sponsorship and recognition he deserves. Arriving at the venue he spots a beautiful woman who he just needs to get know, when they finally get to chat he discovers that she is the owner of the pub and various other clubs and bars throughout the country.

As Athena gets to know Tru she is more aware that the intial fun she wanted to share is becoming more serious and that Charlie may have had a point of finding a forever person and she may have found them in Tru.

Can they both put there past behind them and embrace the future together?

I loved this book, it is full of emotion and tragedy which is heart-breaking and draws you in from the first chapter. I loved the character of Athena, she is definitely a woman to not mess with, with her passion and ambition was a refreshing read and that said Tru was just enough Alpha to be strong with her but his softer side really was a counter and calming influence to Athena which was lovely.

I loved the secondary characters and they enhanced the story and showed that family can be grown and chosen, with the way they were complete ready to have each other backs and damn the world was brilliantly and engaging to read. Thank you for a brilliant and well written story and can’t wait to read about the Green Street Girls.

Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Jessica Stone

I almost didn’t even know how to start this review, I just read the first and second book (Broken) back to back and I’m in love with these ladies, and they’re wonderful men.

So Bared, is about our gorgeous goddess Athena, who is wealthy, down to earth and just a little bit damaged due to some traumatic experiences that happened when she was just a girl of 17. These experiences pushed her into being the strong, independent, no nonsense woman she is today, she let them shape her and motivate her to be successful in the business world, Athena now running and owning multiple clubs across the US. The only problem is Athena trusts no one, and Love? Besides for her chosen sisters Gwyn and Indigo, love is a foreign concept. Something she’s sworn off, believing she’s too damaged to feel it for a man again.
But where there’s a strong woman, with a sordid past, there has to be an equally strong man ready to tear down all her walls and make second guess everything.

Enter Tru. Tru, in his own way is equally damaged from a past relationship that he thought would be his end game, but it just ended up being a game. Seems like Tru must like games because he happens to be a professional billiards player with some pretty rad skills.
Boy meets girl. Tru heads to a tournament in Chicago, which just so happens to be held in one of Athena’s Clubs, one of her newest and latest projects and when they meet, fireworks.

Can these two hard headed, strong independent people get over their pasts and embrace the love that’s surely brewing between the two of them, or are the destined for loneliness to save themselves from heart break.

Ugh, Tru, is such a hard head, he’s typical masc man, but definitely with a sweeter side with a slash of southern gent, minus the accent, but I get so frustrated when he takes everything so personally and compares it to his ex, makes me want to reach into the book and flick him in the nose. But the same can be said for Athena, her strong will and drive are admirable, but she’s so closed off and closed minded when it comes to Tru I could wrong her neck. But all of the things make these two and their relationship even more endearing, because you go through these battles with them. You can’t help but fall in love while standing on the side lines rooting for them. Loved this book, I highly recommend!

Bared
By: ND Jackson

This is the first book of the Green Street Girls. Athena, Gwyn, Indigo and Charlie have all grown up with absolutely difficult lives but they have managed to overcome them and are now successful young women.
Bared is Athena’s story. She is definitely a very complex character and the author does a fantastic job of writing her with the amount of depth that she deserves. She was abandoned at age 13 and had to fend for herself. This gave her a toughness about her that is always on the periphery of her character. Additionally, she has a pain that is deep inside her that also colors her interactions with others. She has managed to make something of herself and is now a club owner. A career choice, that I feel fits the character of Athena that the author developed, it needs a type of deep seated toughness to deal with owning a club. She meets Tru and realizes that she may need to let her guard down to have the man of her dreams. She is hesitant to open up, but just maybe her pain in her past isn’t so bad that she can’t let someone in.
I definitely enjoyed this story, so much so that I read it in one day. I cannot wait to read the stories about the rest of the girls!

Bared by ND Jackson is the first book in the A Green St. Girls Romance. This first book follows Athena who has been on her own since she was a teenage girl and is now a millionaire. She meets Tru and their romance takes off. This is a nice contemporary romance. The author does a very good job of pulling you in and making you feel for these characters. I love the closeness of the Green St. Girls and their found family relationship. The romance and chemistry between Athena and Tru are nice also.

Athena is getting ready for the WPBA Pool Championships at her bar, the Shamrock Pool Hall and Pub when Tru walks through the door. Something about the man has her agreeing to a date and spending time with him. Having been burned once before Athena she is cautious, but can she find a happily ever after and trust Tru.

The thing about this book is it has amazing characters. I really liked Athena, she is sassy and when she is with Tru the pages ignite. Tru oozes magnetism, he has an allure about him that keeps you riveted. Great beginning to series.

I definitely couldn’t pace myself with this story…I read it all in one go! I had to find out what would happen as the author drew me in with such finesse that I didn’t realize until I had finished half the book. The synopsis gripped me, and I knew I had to give Bared a chance. Thank goodness I did! I fell in love with the Green Street Girls quickly and found myself fully invested in each of the characters right away. I am so excited by this book that I’ve already picked up the next one to see what the author has in store!

Broken by N.D. Jackson – 5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely love the character development of Indigo. The author eases you into a life Indigo has created for herself, seemingly perfect, but on closer look, it is riddled with cracks. The mental, physical, and emotional torment she experienced at the hands of someone she was supposed to be able to trust would destroy most. Then, Gideon walked into Indigo’s life. Feelings she had never felt showed their face. Emotions she did not think she could ever have were suddenly front and center.

This gem had me giggling, triggered, and purring like a cat in heat all in the same chapter! The only thing I wish the author would have included was the capture of Indigo’s tormentor and justice for his wrongdoings. But alas. All in all, this book was great!

Overall I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one in the series. Athena has overcome something really traumatic and has turned and made something of herself. All that was left is letting someone new get close to her. I struggled with the pacing throughout the book, at times it would get going at a great pace, others it seemed to move really slow, and then others things moved extremely fast.

This is the first of the A Green St. Girls Romance series. I loved this book, it got me emotionally invested from the first page.

There are plenty of heartbreaking parts to this story and I think that these aspects are written well – respectfully and feeling real.

I loved the characters and friendships within the story, but my favourite thing about this book was the author’s writing style. It’s clear, descriptive and flows so well. The author paints vivid images without over-describing the scenes, the character’s voices are distinct, and their thoughts and emotions feel real. While I absolutely love the story, I don’t think I’ve come across an author who’s actual writing is my favourite aspect. It’s almost as if I’m not reading it but living it through the character’s eyes.

I truly felt for Athena and her past; her experience and her development felt so real and relatable to my own experiences.

This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but I look forward to bingeing on the rest of their work!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

November 9 by Colleen Hoover takes you on a beautiful journey that lasts over several years. It makes you wonder if a love story like that actually exists and it makes you question would you be able to make the sacrifices that they did?

Fallon is a young girl who has suffered a tragedy that makes her question everything about herself. She has lost all self-confidence and I think in some ways has even lost her will to live and it makes you question how you would handle such a tragedy.

Benton seems to be too good to be true with his kindness, his confidence, and his saving the day personality. What you end up learning about him in the end was gut wrenching and you will feel it in your core. The tragedies that he suffers broke my heart and you come to realize just what those tragedies did to him.

This book threw me for a loop when encountered with shocking information. No spoilers but be prepared to have your mouth hanging open and saying to yourself what the heck did I just read.

This author always keeps me captivated and while I am new to her books this third one took me to a whole new level and I cannot wait to appreciate so much more of her work. She is clearly a brilliant and talented author and I was thrilled to know that she does such an extensive amount of charity work. I love reading a good fiction book but I hands-down adore reading a good fiction book from an author who gives back so much.

ConfessConfess by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Confess by Colleen Hoover is an easy four-star read. My heart basically broke from the first chapter for Auburn and all that she had to encounter at such a young age. The way the story weaves the lives of Auburn, Adam, Owen, and the remaining characters was done exceptionally well. I really liked Emory and how feisty and full of spit and vinegar she was.

Watching the tug and pull that Auburn has where each male character is concerned was realistic but also stressful for her as a person. It’s never easy having to decide what is best for the people in your life and what sacrifices you may have to make. The pain that Owen experiences with the nonexistent relationship him and his father has can be understood by anybody with the same demons his dad has.

The character of Trey is just a manipulative, control freak, piece of garbage. I enjoyed seeing how his character arc was resolved. If you enjoy a story with Angst, tearjerker moments, and selflessness where love is concerned than you will enjoy the story as much as I did.

This book started off rough like the man was cold rough. Caspian is a man who only uses women, he isn’t one to fall in love or be “tied down”. This book threw me for a turn and brought me to tears. Paisley is a sweet humble girl and it’s just been her and her mom since she was a child. When a tragic accident puts her mom in the hospital and Caspian’s uncle’s health takes a turn for the worst these two bump into each other for the first time in years. You never plan to fall in love, it just happens. Paisley is an artist who earned her way into college and Caspian also worked very hard to get where he is. The two, grown up now live in separate worlds. I loved this book and Caspian and Paisley’s story.

This the first book of the series. It’s also the first one I read by Anise. In the beginning I found Caspian to be a total douche bag mostly because how he treats women. But somehow he managed to capture my heart a little bit when running into an old friend who was down on her luck, Paisley. I can relate to Paisley at times which is probably why I want to continue to read the series.

Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm is the first book in Titans of Manhattan series. This is the first book I have read by Anise and I was addicted. I devoured this book and immediately went on to the rest of the Titans.
Caspian is your typical spoiled rich playboy, set in his ways of money, fun and one-night stands there is not time in his life for anything else while he is running his empire…. Until his uncle throws a kink in his plans.
Paisley is just trying to take care of her comatose mother and make it in the big city of Manhattan as a struggling artist. She’s down on her luck when she runs in to Caspian, a friend from childhood who offers her an arrangement she can’t refused.
I am telling you right now you will not regret being addicted to the Titans.

The first book in the series Titans of Manhattan, we meet Caspian Archer, one of the four most eligible bachelors of the area.
After a very sad and abusive early childhood is taken in by his uncle and moved into the upper echelons of the Manhattan society. Rich and wanting for nothing he is told to marry (for a year and a day) or loose it all.
He literally bumps into his childhood friend Paisley, who herself is struggling to pay for her mother’s hospital care on top of rent and life itself. There seems no way out until she is literally knocked backwards.
Can they work it together so they both have a marriage of convenience for a set period of time?
We follow their rekindling friendship as it moves to a relationship that they did not see or want ot admit happening.
Fast paced and complicated relationship, a really good read.

I just have this feeling I’m going to need a jar of ice chips and a fan for next week or so just to make sure I don’t overheat 😉🤦‍♀️😂🔥😱

So Caspian is the first brother I’m about to be acquainted with and he’s our typical bad boys , beautiful cars , beautiful woman and a life of luxury in general but he could loose this all if he doesn’t meet the requirements set by his uncle …..

Paisley , shame girl life just keeps throwing her curve balls , no roof over her head , no money , no work , a mother who is ill and medical costs are accumulating and funds are running out , she’s in real dire straits and beyond desperate , my heart just shatters for her …..

That’s ladies and gentlemen is where theirs paths cross … Desperation +convenience = chaos and drama 🎭🔥🤦‍♀️

What was convenient soon becomes very real and very inconvenient, as per the norm of matters of the heart 😉❣️

Don’t be fooled there’s more to Caspian than meets the eye and under all those layers is a man with heart ❤️ Paisley is a tough cookie and in my eyes I think they’re the perfect match .

Did I cry … yes …. Did I want to punch someone … yes …. Did I enjoy every page … YES !!!!

This is the first book in the Titans od Manhattan series by the author Anise Storm. Conveniently, this is the first book that I have read from this author, and I was not disappointed. The authors style of writing is very unique and interesting. She was able to transport me into her world she was creating and have the power to have her readers feel all of the emotions the characters are experiencing.
Caspian Archer can only accomplish those two paramount tasks that will he secure his inheritance. What he needs is someone willing to agree to an arrangement of convenience and spare him the emotional ties of settling down.
Paisley Fischer was evicted and broke, she didn’t think things could get worse. Then… they did. With her mother in a coma, and the insurance benefits running out, Paisley will soon be strapped with the financial responsibility of her care. She has no idea how she’s going to provide for both of them until a childhood friend comes to her with an unconventional offer.
All she has to do is pretend to be happily married, but a lot can change in 365 days.
I’m excited to see what the author has instore for this series.

This is the book that started it all and made me fall in love with Anise Storm!

I always love a good fake romance book, and this one exceeded my expectations. Caspian is a man of great privilege, and he can have anything he wants at his fingertips. Yet, he has worked hard in his uncle’s company, hoping one day to take over. Unfortunately, that may be coming quicker than he wanted when he discovers his uncle is dying, and to top it off, he has thrown a wrench in his plans. He wants Caspian to settle down and get married if he wants to inherit the company. In addition, he has to stay married a year. Caspian desperately needs someone to marry him for convenience not love.

Paisley is in dire straits. She is broke, and her mother is in a coma. She has no clue what she is going to do to get out of the darkness she is in. As luck would have it, that light at the end of the tunnel comes in the form of Caspian. The two have a chance encounter at the hospital and recognize each other from childhood. As they catch up with one another, Caspian thinks he has found his perfect wife, even if for just a year.

Caspian, like most of his other friends, wants no emotional attachments. He has no intention whatsoever of developing feelings for Paisley. And, that is why it was so enjoyable watching her bring him to his knees.

Storm was a new author to me, and I’m so glad I discovered her. Her books are well-written, and she does a great job of balancing steam and emotion. I highly recommend not only this book but the entire series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The story is a student-teacher romance where age is a factor or is it? This is the companion story to the first book Professor Valentine in the Kirk University series. This story is told from Diego’s POV. I love stories that are told in different POV’s because I feel the story is much rounder and in depth understanding of the characters. This is a very very short novella but getting the male perspective is a good addition to this tale. This is where it all began.
Cassie is off limits but that doesn’t stop him from wanting her. Beautiful doesn’t begin to describe her, but does he really need more in his life with his ex-wife and brother?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With a Pretty Woman-esque storyline, this book is about the rich and powerful Caspian who will disinherit the business he’s devoted himself to if he doesn’t find a wife and remain married for at least one year. Paisley is a struggling artist with looming medical bills for her mother and couldn’t be farther from the world in which Caspian lives.
Fate brings the two together at a chance encounter at the hospital, where Caspian is visiting his dying uncle and Paisley is visiting her comatose mother. Something in her eyes sparks recognition in Caspian, and they discover they’re not from completely different worlds after all, having befriended one another in childhood. As they catch up over coffee, Caspian decides it could be a mutually beneficial agreement if he can convince Paisley to marry him for the terms described in his uncle’s will.
Between social events with catty women, Caspian’s uncle’s disapproval in his choice for a wife, and some secrets Caspian is holding onto, the whole arrangement becomes fragile and threatens to fall apart.
I found this to be an entertaining read with just enough drama and spice to keep me hooked until the end.
