A Tangy Christmas Kiss was a good 4 star read and book two in the Christmas Kiss series.
Mel is getting ready for Christmas with her family, when she’s asked to please go to her aunt’s home in Spain. Her mom was supposed to go but is unable to make it.
The travel to Spain seemed to take quite a while. On her way she meets a Spanish gentleman that she has language barrier issues with. Wanting to help Mel, he escorts her to her aunt’s home. This is where Mel realizes that what she was imagining about her aunt’s home was incorrect. She has animals that need caring for along with chores.
Mel also meets her aunt’s neighbor. Who is more than happy to assist her as well. This is where things get interesting with Mel and the two hotties, Domingo and Lucas. Which one of these two will she fall for?
There are twist and turns with a few LOL moments. I loved all of the characters in the story. Allyson Abbott does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. Overall I felt this was a good read. Once you start you will be done before you know it. I look forward to reading more from this series.

It Ends Tonight was a great 5 star read and book 4 in the Bayou Devils MC series.
This is Lucas and Quinn’s story. Both Lucas and Quinn have something from their past that changed their lives. As I got to know these two and their story I really liked both of them.
Lucas is a member of the Bayou Devils MC. Quinn is a single mom raising her daughter and running her own business, thankfully she has the help of her sister. When fate brings them together things take an interesting twist. Can these two make things work? Can they have a HEA?
My emotions were all over the place with this read. We get love, heartbreak, anger and so much more. Lucas pulled me in instantly. Hot!! Quinn’s strength was great and she was a very determined woman. She was a great match for Lucas. I really liked the secondary characters and would love to see more from some of them. Overall this was a great story that pulled me right in, I was done reading before I knew it. I look forward to reading more from this series.

The Eastern Shore Swingers Book 1-3 Phoebe Alexander
Fisher of Men was a great 5 star read and book one in the Eastern Shore Swingers series.
We have Leah who is an innocent in many ways, she is working as a Customer service person at a hotel. When she meets Cap at a party that she is working she is shocked to hear exactly what kind of party it is. Although, the lifestyle is a litte intriguing to her.
Leah ends up in a relationship with Cap. You go girl! We get some steamy scenes from them. I really enjoyed reading their story and there were some interesting twists that caused some issues for them. Will Leah be able to accept the lifestyle?
Leah was a little different, coming from a small town she was experiencing a lot of new things, and she was very hard working. Cap is of course in the lifestyle but when he saw Leah something about her drew him in. If he finds “the one” he would be willing to give up the lifestyle, will that be Leah? Can they have a HEA?
The secondary characters added a great element to the story. Phoebe has once again pulled me right in with her writing. I really like the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, they are great. The ending was great, I was a little nervous at first, I wasn’t sure exactly what was going to happen. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series, I need to see where things are going with these two. —-

Siren call was a good 4 star read and the third book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. This is an erotic read with F/F storyline.
Jessie is a police officer with some not so great things in her past. She discovered that she was gay while she was in the academy and is a member of “The Factory” a swingers club, thanks to her friend Paisley. When a new member of “The Factory” starts to cause some concern, Jessie is asked to keep an eye on her.
Sirena recently joined the club and she seems to be drinking a lot and leaves with someone different every night. There is something about her that intrigues Jessie, so she is more than happy to help her friends.

They also have some very steamy moments together and at the club. There are twists and secrets revealed that added a great element to the story. I enjoyed the ending which includes a HEA.

Degrees of Power was a great 5 star read and book four in the Prestian Series.
We start where book three left off. This is a great must read series, I highly suggest reading the first three books before this one.
We continue to watch Katarina and Chase’s relationship develop. She starts to give him more control, which is hard for her. We also see Katarina show some great strength as well. There is of course some outside danger that cause some issues and adds a great element to the story.
We of course get suspense, plenty of hot and steamy BDSM moments, love, action and so much more. This is a couple that I have grown to really like, they are great for each other. Chase quickly became a favorite for me and I liked Katarina’s innocence in the beginning and watching her develop throughout the series. I was sad to see this series end, however I can’t wait to read more from Via Mari. My emotions were all over the place, I was happy with the end but would have liked to have a little more. Via Mari does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing. 1-click and get started today.

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 was a very hot and steamy 4 star read.
This is a collection of short stories that will leave you very hot. There is an assortment of stories that range from teacher fantasies, MILF, Older woman/younger man, and so on. Each story jumps right into the hot stuff pretty quickly, and may remind you of some things you’ve seen on websites such as www.maturepornvideos.xxx online.
If you’re looking for a quick read with lots of hot and sexy moments then Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 is the book for you. You may be left a little hot and bothered. Being as short as it is I’m not going to go into too much detail, you will have to 1-click and find out the rest for yourself.
Healing Danger was a great 5 star read and book one in the Fortis Security series. Once you start you will not want to put it down until your done.
Lauren and Dane had some not so great pasts that caused them both to be leary about opening their hearts up to each other. Their stories will tug at your heartstrings and you will understand the “why’ behind their issues. They were made for each other. Of course their journey isn’t an easy one, they do have their challenges.
There are unexpected twist and turns and the secondary characters added a great element to the story as well. This is a great book with suspense, romance, and so much more. I was pulled right in with Maddie’s writing. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. If you’re looking for a great series and a great group of characters 1-click and get started today on the Security series.
We meet Elf who is just found out her best friend won’t be able to make it to the cabin with her for Christmas. Bad luck just seems to be following her. She is encouraged to go on by herself and have some time to herself.
Bad luck seemed to have become her middle name. She must’ve annoyed somebody somewhere, because everything was going wrong.
Now this is a city girl going into the country, not knowing how to run a generator or chop wood. But I do have to say she did the best she could. I had several LOL moments.
She meets Mr. and Mrs C and a cat she calls Sue. She also meets a mysterious man who she later learns is Rudy. These two don’t exactly get along the greatest in the beginning but you can feel something building between them. Have these two finally found the one?
If you’re looking for a quick, fun Holiday read this is the book for you. Allyson has done a great job with her writing and she pulls you right in. I look forward to reading more of the Christmas Kiss books in the series.

Rhapsody and Rebellion was a great 5 star read and book #7 in the Enduring Legacy series.
“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night” – Edgar Allen Poe
Gideon’s mom has a dream/vision of a family member passing away in a terrible accident. She is adamant that they go home to Scotland. To make his mother happy he agrees to take her.
After marrying her best friend at 17, Alisabeth has become a widow after less than a year of marriage due to political uproars. When her husbands cousin arrives things take an interesting twist.
When Gideon and Alisabeth meet you can feel the connection between them. As they get to know each other better, things start to build even more between them. Gideon discovers that he has inherited something special from his ancestors.
Will these two get a HEA?
We get humor, action, suspense and so much more. Aubrey Wynne does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in.I really liked Alisabeth, she was a strong character. Gideon quickly grew on me, he was just a lonely guy looking for love and these two together were great. All of the secondary characters were great. I look forward to reading more from this series and author.
Hope’s Deceit was a great 5 star read and book two in the Fated series.
We pick up shortly after the end of Hope’s Decree. After the betrayal the watchers are starting to make plans. Blain helps Trinity find her calmness and them as a couple it felt right, they seemed to work much better together.
Lesson number one: Don’t assume things, even if that assuming involved my beautiful Watcher boyfriend. Lesson number two: Never rely on what seemed to be correct.
Trinity has stepped up and is determined to prove herself and be part of the battle. Her mother of course is protective of her, especially when she gets sick because of thought-overload.
“I’ll fight for us. Always.”
I don’t want to give away too much, just know that there is so much going on in this great read. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. I loved all of the secondary characters. I had a lol moment at the Twilight reference from Crystal. And the ending, all I can say is Wow, how can it end like that? I want more. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Cowboy Claimed was a good 4 star read, this is a boxed set of six stories.
I was pulled right in by each of these authors, they all had great characters and storylines. Each author brought something different to the book. A few of the authors are new to me and I can’t wait to read more from them.
Rescue Love – Melissa Keir Snow Bird Springs:TROY – Cheryl Gorman Upstaging The Cowboy – Leslie P. Garcia Cowboy Kind of Forgiveness – Becca Turner Reverence – Lyssa Layne Cowboy Proud – D’Ann Lindum
There is a great mix of hot alphas, action, twists, romance, suspense, and so much more. All of the secondary characters were great. It’s been awhile since I have read this genre, and I didn’t realize what I was missing. If you’re looking for a great mix of authors with some great reads than this would be a book you would enjoy.

Isabella’s Painting was a great 5 star read and the first book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series.
Karina is a lawyer who discovers something mysterious when she is attending a party with her boyfriend at his parents home. Of course her curiosity peaks and she does some investigating, could she have seen a piece of artwork that was part of a historical unsolved robbery?
I’d gotten it into my head that I would crack a case that neither the FBI, nor highly skilled art detectives, nor investigative reporters had done in the past twenty-eight years. How silly of me
Will Karina’s curiosity bring danger to her doorstep? Will she be able to solve the mystery?
We meet several great secondary characters that added a great element to the story, my favorite was Molly. I really liked Karina, she had me LOL so many times, she was very smart and independent. I really like a book that has me guessing throughout the story, I was thrown off when it twisted in a completely different direction on me. This is my first read from Ellen and I was pulled right in by her writing. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Mouse Trapped was a great 5 star read and book nine in the Satan’s Devils MC. Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster, I was exhausted when I was done.
Mouse is a member of the MC who is mixed race, Native american/caucasian. He takes care of the computer needs for the club. He meets Mariana when he is out in the woods and hears her screaming. He saves her from a bear and takes her to safety. There is something about her that intrigues and calls to him.
Mariana came to the US when she was four, she has some pretty high walls up due to secrets she has. When she unexpectedly catches the attention of immigration things take a twist for her. Now she needs help, but who can she turn to? Would Mouse be willing to help her?
There is drama, suspense, action and so much more. All of the secondary characters were great. The chemistry between these two was off the charts, you could feel the heat coming off of the pages. Coming from growing up with handsome native americans, I pictured a few during my read, LOL. Manda Mellett does a great job of pulling you right in. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but I would suggest reading all of them. MC books are my favorite genre and Manda has quickly become one of my favorite authors to go to for a great read. 1-click and get started today.

Hope’s Decree was a good four star read and book one in the Fated series.
My whole freakish life I’d desperately wanted to shut out the surge of emotions I often felt from others.
This was an interesting read that peaked my interest in Greek mythology, this is out of my realm of genre but I was pleasantly surprised.
Trinity was a great character with a lot of drama and sassiness, she is a 17 year old in her senior year of high school. We get to know her group of friends and of course the snobby mean girls. I did have some LOL moments with some thoughts that Trinity would have.
There is so much action and conflict along with several twists and turns. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. It was great watching Trinity develop into a very strong person, I can’t wait to read the next book in the series to see where she goes from here. Angela McPherson has done a great job of pulling you right in with her writing.
Felicity Found was a great 5 star read and book six in the Rogue series. It was great catching up with the band again.
This is Conor and Felicity’s story. Felicity has been struggling since she has become a mom and wife. She is sleep deprived and spending all her time at home with the kids, where she has time to think about things. Conor is always gone to the studio and not home helping, which is also wearing on her.
I have lived in a bubble of motherhood in these last few months, determined to experience all the good and messy moments this has to offer.
Conor is struggling with his wife’s distance and lack of sex drive. This is something he has never encountered in his career of being a hot guitarist. He’s had women falling at his feet and he still has temptations being thrown his way, will he be faithful?
When he tries to help fix the problem, things take a twist. Could his idea blow up in his face? Will Felicity find her happy place once again?
There is so much to this great read, my emotions were all over the place. Lara Ward Cosio does a great job of capturing so much including touching on the reality of postpartum depression. Felicity had some real struggles, I felt for her so much. Conor was great in the sense that he wanted to help her and would do anything to get her back. The secondary characters were great. If you’re looking for a great series to ready, I highly suggest this one. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Dangerous ground was a thrilling and emotional rollercoaster of a 5 star read. This is Tina and Chase’s story and I loved it. Once I started I didn’t want to stop.
When the sterilization law goes in effect things start to take a twist. Chase and his family is what society deems as low class. There were some scenes that just broke my heart for Chase. Who are these people that think they can make these kind of choices for people no matter what class they are?
Tina witnesses some things that happen to Chase and is determined to make changes. There is so much going on in this read, your head will be spinning. There is quite a bit of darkness also.
Alice Rachel does a great job with her writing you feel everything the characters do. My emotions were all over the place with the laws and regulations. I have to admit that some things were difficult for me to read because of some of the issues. Beware that there may be some scenes that can cause triggers for some. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I had some I didn’t care for and others I loved.The ending has left me wanting more. You will be done before you know it. If you’re looking for a great series, I suggest 1-clicking and get reading.

Shoot Me was a great 5 star read and book two in the Lie to Me series. The story picks up shortly after where Lie to Me left off.
Layla is heart broken after Mateo’s departure, she had finally opened up and thought he was the one, only to be left all alone. She has decided to go work in Guadalajara for a few months to get away and write.
Pablo whispered, “It’s the things you cannot see, your vulnerability, the sadness of your memories, and your openness to love, that makes you so beautiful.”
Layla has quite the adventures and is really enjoying her time. She also meets several men throughout the story, some friends some lovers. I had my favorite but enjoyed all of them. There are some hot scenes, romance, danger, and so much more.
All of the secondary characters were great, I loved Marisela. My emotions were all over the place. Will Layla finally get what she’s truly looking for? If you’re looking for a great read I suggest this series, I really like Layla and her story and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell was a great 5 star read. This is my first read from Nikki and I really enjoyed it, she pulls you right in with her writing and you won’t want to stop until your done.
My interest in life was as shallow as the dish I kept under the potted plant that had recently died.
Collie is in an abusive relationship and is dealing with depression on top of it. She has grown distant from her husband and is questioning everything about her life. Where did everything go wrong? Should she stay? Should she go?
There is a lot of emotion in this read, I was all over the place. Collie decides to go on a journey for a fresh start. She is a very strong woman that grew stronger as the story progressed. There is a bit of mystery along with twist and turns. The secondary characters added a great element to the story, some I liked some not so much. You can’t help but feel like your right there with Collie on her journey, I was exhausted when I finished. The ending was great and I loved the epilogue. I look forward to reading more from this author.

F*cking Frank was a great 5 star read and book one in the Smirk Series.
I was pulled in right away and was LOL so many times. I absolutely love Frank and his (no pun intended) frankness. He tells it like it is and has no filters.
People suck, or most people do. But the most important lesson was to choose your friends carefully and do not trust easily. – Frank
When Frank and the band go to the winery for their summer gig, they meet Mikey. And oh my gosh if she isn’t made for Frank no one is, these two were like twins on everything. Mikey is like a female Frank to a tee and when she sees something she wants she’s not shy about it. These two are sassy, strong, straight forward and so much more. I loved them.
Can they keep things professional or will they give into their attraction? Has Frank finally found THE ONE?
There is so much more to this great read. All of the secondary characters were great, I look forward to reading more from this series. This read was so refreshing and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have a friend very similar to Frank so it felt like I was reading his story. Jen has once again given me another great story to read, I’m excited to read the rest of the series.

Degrees of Control was a great 5 star read and book three in the Prestian Series.
We continue where book two left off. Katarina is confused on her feelings and struggling with trusting Chase and has declined his proposal. How can she love a man she can’t trust? Chase convinces Katarina to pretend to be engaged until everyone is safe. This is where things start to take an interesting twist.
There is so much that goes on, suspense, danger and several twists and turns along with a few surprises. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. Katarina frustrated me at times with her stubbornness but she was still the feisty and strong willed woman that Chase fell in love with. The heat was definitely turned up between Katarina and Chase, some kindle melting moments for sure. I was happy with how things came out but now I need the next book in the series to see just where everything leads. Via Mari does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing and you won’t want to stop until your done. If your looking for a great series, 1-click and get started today on Prestian Series.

My Free LIfe: Prequel to the Brothers of Camelot was a great 5 star read and book three and conclusion of the My Life Series.
From this day forward, life is what I make it, and all I can say is, let the fun begin.
Alessandra is the Capo Donna of the Canzano family and has been planning her escape for years. She has been through so much growing up, she was trained by her uncle from a young age to fight and lets just say this girl can definitely take care of herself.
Those three words…my free life…bring me a feeling of peace. When I leave, it’ll be forever.
She is finally so close to her goal and there has also been one man on her mind, Grayson. Will she finally be able to connect with him? Will everything fall in place for her?
There are so many edge of your seat moments, along with action, loss, several emotional moments, drama, and so much more. We even get a little hot and steamy time as well, which was a surprise twist. I really enjoyed this whole series, reading about Alessandra and her struggles through the years and the great friends and family that she had. All of the secondary characters were great and I would love to see more from all of them. Her father on the other hand was not my favorite and I hope he gets his in the end. Necie Navone has done a great job of pulling me right in with her writing, I loved it. I’m looking forward to the next book in the Brothers of Camelot series.

Embattled Hearts was a good 4 star read and the first book in the Lost and Found series.
There are some things you can’t change in life, who you’re related to, taxes, the nasty boss you’d like to shove off a roof. And you can’t choose who you’re attracted to.
Shannon is hired on to work at LNF Investigative Services. And when she meets John sparks fly between them. John doesn’t think that he has a chance with Shannon, why would she want a guy like him?(broke my heart) John is struggling with his injuries suffered from being in the Marines. He isn’t able to go out into the field like the other detectives and hates it.
When Shannon’s safety is at risk due to a stalker, John offers to stay with her for protection. Will they find out who the stalker is? Will they give in to their attraction?
You’re the first person I’ve ever been with who doesn’t make me want to shoot somebody out of boredom -John
My emotions were all over the place, with some teary eyed moments. I feel these two were meant for each other and you could feel their connection on so many levels. The secondary characters were great and I was very happy with the ending. The struggles that John went through trying to deal with his injuries is exactly what alot of our military go through everyday. To have this in a story brought some realism to it, kudos to J.M. Madden

Madden – Review by Michelle Austin
Deadly Alliance was a great 5 star read. This was a great collaboration from these two authors, I was excited to read it.
Shane is on a mission to find the serial killer who is responsible for the death of his best friends sister. The killer seems to be targeting women who all have the same look to them. Emme happens to have the look that could possibly draw the killer out. She joins Shane’s team to portray his wife undercover.
It looked like a convention for the deadly and sexy. Jesus, not one person in the room was ugly, far from it they were all gorgeous. – Emme
These two have such a great chemistry between them, you can feel the heat coming off the pages. They are both very strong characters that I loved immensely. They just clicked in so many ways. Will they be able to find the killer before he strikes again? Will they keep things professional or give in to their attraction?
We get suspense, mystery, drama, danger and so much more. I was on the edge of my seat flying through the pages to see what was coming next. There are some great twists and secrets that added great elements to the story. The secondary characters added a great element to the story, it’s like one big family when they are together. If your looking for a great read, this is the one for you. I look forward to reading more from Maddie and India.
Imperfect Heart was a great 5 star read and book four in the Combat Hearts series.
I was pulled in right from the beginning, with a LOL scene with Zoe and a raccoon. On top of that the way she ends up meeting her neighbor Tim was classic. Best start ever in a book. Zoe has moved to Haven Springs to start over and open a bookstore.
Tim is a police officer and I fell for him right away. When he got a call from his neighbor about a possible suspicious person, he definitely didn’t plan to find Zoe in the predicament she was. There is something about his new neighbor that has got his attention.
Will Zoe’s bookstore be a great addition to Haven Springs? Will Zoe and Tim have a HEA?
There is so much more to this great read. All of the secondary characters were great. The chemistry between these two was off that charts. Tim was very supportive of Zoe and he had an alpha side to him that brings us some steamy moments. The bantering had me LOL at times. Tarina’s writing is great, she pulls you right in and you won’t want to stop until your done. I look forward to reading more from her. If your looking for a fun series that has lots of different elements, this is the one for you.

I was pulled right in from the beginning with the kindness that Tuesday was showing towards Gil, a young man that would visit her food truck daily. I knew I was going to love the rest of the story as well.
Blake is the Mayor of Copper Mills and loves the small town feel and spending time around town. When Blake and Tuesday literally run into each other at the grocery store, she is pulled in by his blue eyes and white teeth. I had a LOL moment during this scene.
I wonder if fate had her crashing into me for my own good. Maybe to tell me I’d been fishing in the wrong lake. – Blake
While out for a walk and some lunch, Blake finds himself at Tuesday’s food truck. He was pleasantly surprised to see her. They start dating and learning more about each other. When Blake’s ex tries to cause some issues for Tuesday, things start to get very interesting.
Can Blake and Tuesday make things work and have a HEA? Will Blake’s ex get what’s coming to her?
Overall I really enjoyed this read, there are some sad teary eyed moments as you learn more about Tuesday and her family. And the more I learned about Gil’s history the more it tugged at my heart. What this poor boy went through after he was born just broke me, sadly this is a very real problem. Having someone like Tuesday in his life was a blessing, she was so good with him. The secondary characters added a great element to the story, I have to say I very much disliked Blake’s ex fiance Judith. This is my first read from Melissa Keir and I loved it, I look forward to reading more from her.

Embrace the Passion was a great 5 star read and #3 in the Pets in Space Anthologies. This was a fun read that had so many great stories in it. We get a mixture of action, adventure,suspense, LOL moments and so much more. This also gave me an opportunity to read some new authors and genres that I don’t normally read.

Ring Tru was a good 5 star read and the first book in the Thick as Thieves series. This was my first read from this author and I was pulled right in. We get mystery, suspense, hot and steamy moments, and so much more.
Gertrude (Tru) has one last job to do and she will finally get to settle down and move on. Unfortunately the job entails being the girlfriend to a very old crotchety man, who has some jewelry she wants to get her hands on. When someone from her past shows up, he throws a wrench into everything she has planned.
Will was shocked to see who the mystery woman was that is dating his boss. His ex that he left 5 years ago to protect her. Now she’s right in the middle of a big job and could possibly ruin things for him and get her hurt.
Seeing each other brings back so many feelings of love, hurt, anger, and heat. Can they both get what they want? Will they have a new future together?
There are so many different twists and turns to this great read. We also get some hot and steamy moments from these two as well. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. There were a few unexpected surprises and twists. This is a great start to the series and I can’t wait to read more. 1-click and get started today.

Whiteaker – Review by Michelle Austin
I was pulled in right from the beginning with the epilogue. We jump ahead six years. Jamie is umping at a baseball game when he sees her in the crowd. There is something about her that he can’t stop looking at.
Kira is intrigued and really wants to talk to Jamie. It’s been two years since her divorce and he’s single. What would it hurt?
Everyone is a little messed up sometimes.
When these two start dating it was great. You could feel the connection between them. But of course real life things get in the way along with some things from the past. Can these two get past the hurdles and make things work?
This was my first read by this author and I loved it. I was pulled right in by her writing and couldn’t stop until I was done. I really liked this couple and I really wanted them to get their HEA. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. If your looking for a great story with two people looking for a second chance at love this is the book for you.

My Tragic Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel was a great 5 star read and book two in the My Life series and I was super excited to get my hands on it.
We continue with Aless’s story. She is very good with her weapons and she definitely shows up her Capos men. You get pulled in right from the beginning and won’t want to stop until your done. We get lots of action, suspense, several different emotions, violence and so much more.
Her Capo is looking for the right man to be by her side, why won’t he let her choose “the one”? She has gotten him to agree to her going to University, will her plan finally work? Can she get what she needs to get out?
Boy, I really love the chemistry between Luigi and Aless. He vows that he will not touch her while she’s underage but you can sure feel the heat coming up between them. Although she has plans to find someone outside the family. Grayson, please wait for me.
All of the secondary characters were great. Necie Navone does such a great job with her writing, you feel like your right there with everyone. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series to see where things go from here. If you’re looking for a series that pulls you right in, 1-click and get started on this one. You will love it!
Sailors Knot was a great 5 star read and book four in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. This can be read as a stand alone.
Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.
All I can say is wow! There are so many levels of emotion and life experiences that had me all over the place. You get pulled right in from the beginning with a very hot and steamy moment between Casey and Gabriel. Gabriel encouraged Casey to find a third and that is when she met Joshua and brought him home. We jump from past to present as Casey thinks about things from the past.
Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you.
Casey is currently dealing with some life issues and enjoys a visit from her besties among several other things. There is so much more that goes on but I don’t want to give anything away. It was really great seeing the secondary characters and how they were doing. Casey is a very strong person and seeing her story past and present really tugs at your heartstrings. When there is an unexpected reconnection can there be a HEA? Phoebe Alexander has done an excellent job with this story, if you like hot and steamy scenes and great characters, 1-click and get started today on this great read.

I really liked Bailey, she was a very sensitive woman looking for, the one. Carter pulled at my heartstrings also, the chemistry that these two had was great. My emotions were all over the place with this read. The secondary characters were good. It took a little bit for me to get pulled in at first but once I was, I couldn’t stop until I was done.
