The Reader by M.K. Harkins
5 out of 5 stars
The Reader is the first book in the Immortal series written by M.K. Harkins and I have read a few of this author books and she is amazing. The characters are well written and amazing I loved the way they interacted with each other. The way this author described the scenery was incredible and I could picture myself there.
Ann Baker is an eighteen year old girl who is being hunted on top of this she was shot and has no memory when she wakes in shallow water on a deserted Pacific Northwest island. She is soon approached by two young men claiming to be her friends. Something isn’t right, but when gunshots sound, Ann is left with little choice but to allow Devon and Archer to help her escape. Soon she finds herself in their North Bend mountain compound, where the higher evolved humans claim to be mind-readers. While Ann heals, she realizes they believe her to be one of the last and most powerful of all – The Lost One.
She’s welcomed by most with opened arms, but not everyone is happy about her arrival. A jealous adversary has plans for Ann, which spirals the entire Reader community into chaos.
As lies, murder, and betrayal threaten to rip apart the once harmonious mountain dwellers, Ann is thrust into making a decision that could save or devastate not only The Readers, but all of mankind. But there’s just one glitch: by doing so it may require her to make the ultimate sacrifice can she make this sacrifice?
I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read the next book in this series…

The Only One by Necie Navone – Review by Tracy Manderson

The Only One (Brothers of Camelot, #1) by Necie Navone
5 out of 5 stars
The Only One is book one in the Brothers of Camelot series written by Necie Navone and it’s the first book that I have read by this author and it surely won’t be the last. The characters are well written with strong personalities and the banter is awesome. I really enjoyed the story plot with the Camelot fairy tale but it’s modern. I especially loved Mom Gregory and the way she accepted Fitz and mad him a part of the family.
Drake, aka Fitz, was dealt a tragic hand from the beginning. He had to adjust to Pain and rejection but that all melted away when a little girl named Isabella aka Belle with huge brown eyes, strawberry blonde curls and an explosive personality, walked into his new home and his heart.
They were inseparable as kids, she’s was literally ripped from his arms when they where teens. Convincing himself he’s unworthy of her, he closed himself off to all future relationships, refusing to open his heart to anyone else. If only she would come back to him.
Can a man whore whose motto is “One and Done” keep it in his pants long enough to win back the trust of his childhood sweetheart?
Isabella, with her unique personality, returns to her childhood town to start her own business, and prove she doesn’t need her mother, or a man, to feel complete. Thanks to her first love, her father’s betrayal and a slew of bad relationships, she’s locked her heart away, hidden behind her smile and sweet disposition. She’s found peace in her memories of Drake, hoping he’ll finally contact her, or maybe she’ll find the nerve to contact him.
Can their long-lost love be rekindled or do they need a little help from their friends?
I highly recommend this book and cant wait to see what Ms. Navone has in-stored for us next…

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers #2) by Lee Kilraine – Review by Ashleigh Whitwell

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers, #2)Give and Take by Lee Kilraine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Give and Take is a contemporary romance novel and the second instalment in The Thorne Brothers series. This story follows baby brother, Wyatt, and his involvement in the brother’s construction company. I love a series I can really sink my teeth into, and with a whole family of brother to get to know, this series has me super excited. Much like the first instalment (which I strongly recommend you read!), Give and Take is a beautifully romantic read that had me hooked from the very beginning. As we approach the end of the 2018, I can safely say that Wyatt and Rhia are in the running for one of my favourite couples of the year!

Wyatt Thorne is not your stereotypical romantic ‘hero’. He has very visible flaws, some of which most people would find incredibly annoying. He’s particular, meticulous and rigid to his routine. He’s obsessed with his work and quiet to the point of painfully so at times. So why did I feel such a draw to him? Wyatt had my attention almost immediately and I think I finally understand the appeal of the ‘strong and silent’ type. He is the perfect mix of driven, cute and a little frustrating and I just love him, perhaps even more than I loved his brother in Give it Up. But Wyatt isn’t the only love interest in this book. Rhia is his complete opposite and so perfect for him. She had me laughing out loud with some of her crazy antics, including her brief employment as a clown, and the relationship between her and Wyatt was so entertaining to read. I loved their back-and-forth banter and the sudden moments of passion and steaminess; they complimented each other beautifully. They are one of those couples that you just connect with and I have been left wanting to know more about them!

As with the first book, Give and Take explores some difficult issues. The Thorne brothers have been through a lot and their childhood is truly devastating. Seeing their shared past through Wyatt’s eyes was interesting, as he had been so young when everything happened to them. His brothers made it their job to protect him, and so we find Wyatt feeling a tremendous amount of guilt towards everything they have sacrificed for him. I love the strong family bond they have and it just has me more excited to find out more about each of the brothers.

Give and Take is a fantastic instalment in what is shaping up to be a fantastic series. The character development is exceptional and the plotlines are addictive. I have the next instalment on pre-order and am anxiously waiting its arrival. If you aren’t already convinced, I recommend you jump into this series immediately!

Alterations Trilogy Box Set- Jane Suen

5-stars

The Alterations Trilogy consists of all three books, Alterations, Game Changer and Primal Will. This is absolutely a must-read series! Jane Suen is such a phenomenally talented author whose stories always pull me in right from the start with all of the vivid detail. This is a fast-paced trilogy with non-stop action. I was able to read each book in one sitting as I was so captivated by the storyline that I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. This story is told in multiple POV’s in a really seamless way that easily captured my attention the whole way through. It’s intense, shocking, detailed, captivating and so entertaining!

This is a storyline like no other, a truly one of a kind read! I would absolutely recommend this series and author to anyone looking for their next read!

Touchdown by Alexa Summers is a must-read Sports Romance! This is my first book by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last, it also happens to be the first book in the Big Apple series. This romance read is dramatic, steamy, funny, entertaining and so captivating. I was pulled right in from the first chapter as I easily connected with Lexi’s witty character. Her pursuit for a successful career was inspiring and I loved how down to earth she was. Plus, as a bonus I also really loved Brett’s character, he made for the perfect book boyfriend, he was sweet, manly, family oriented and oh so sexy!

I can’t wait to read the rest of this series and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for their next romance read!

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Shannon Fowler

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Romance in Rehoboth is three separate stories. While each one can be read as a stand-alone, reading them in order tends to develop a better feel for Montgomery’s writing style and the characters that are casually mentioned through-out each story.

Fat Girl is the first book and is about Claire. Claire realizes that “everyone’s fat is different.” Most people are going through something in their life. Montgomery has created a character that learns she is strong, she is important, and everyone deserves unconditional love.

The Flip is one of the funnier stories I have read. Andrew and Sonnet inherit a house. While this normally wouldn’t be such a big deal, Andrew and Sonnet are not friends, which makes reading about them and their situations even funnier.

Plot Twist is book three and has a stage production setting. Lindy is our overweight sweetheart. She has little self esteem until she is on stage and then she feels like she can be anyone and do anything. She also learns that taking a chance could lead to greater things.

All three leading ladies learn that taking a risk has nothing to do with the size of your body but the size of your heart!

Loving this series so far!

Deadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover Novel by Maddie Wade and India Kells – Review by Kerry Baker

Deadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover NovelDeadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover Novel by Maddie Wade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deadly Alliance by Maddie Wade and India Kells is a Fortis/Purgatory crossover novel. This is a great combining of authors who, both in their own right, are authors I would happily read every time.
Each of these series have been good reads and this crossover works so well. The way the characters are worked in together was brilliant. You could see each of the different authors styles but you could also see the compatibility between the two.
Although I did find the main storyline to be a little bit obvious I still liked how fast paced the book was and how it still managed to keep my attention. I still found myself engaging with the characters and looking forward to what would happen next.
This is a great collaboration that I hope we see more of in the future.

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book Two) by M.K. Harkins
5 out of 5 stars

The Jack is the second book in the Immortal series written by M.K. Harkens. I have read a few books by this author and her works get better and better I really enjoy her work. This book/series is a paranormal/romance with difficult choices and betrayal. The characters are well written and amazing I loved the way they interacted with each other. The way this author described the scenery was incredible and I could picture myself there.
Archer is a half breed, caught between two opposing heritages the Jacks, are a bloodthirsty race who kills for sport, and the Readers, are a docile race trying to save humankind. Two years ago, he betrayed the Readers, though, in a last-minute change of heart, saved them from ultimate destruction. But now he’s all alone, wallowing in unrequited love.
Should he save the Anne the woman he loves but can never have, protect humanity, or avoid a prison sentence that would stretch for eternity?
Sadie who is an Immortal Seer and with a vision from her ancestors she is left with a dangerous calling: she must hunt down and destroy the last of the vengeful Jacks. But her quirky humor and gentle spirit make her an unlikely fit for the job.
Archer can’t believe he is drawn to Sadie’s with her pure, kindhearted nature, rekindling hope that he might not have to live a solitary life, but he has no idea the danger he’s in.
When fate forces mortal enemies to work together, Sadie must determine which side Archer is on, how much of his charm is real, and if she should follow through with her directive: should she kill him or save him? Is he the last Jack? Are they are soul mates?
This is a great paranormal read and can’t wait to see what Ms. Harkins has in-store for us in her next book in this series…

Siren Call (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 3) – Review by Karyn Taylor

Siren CallSiren Call by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Siren Call is the 3rd book in the Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander. It follows on from Fisher of Men and The Catch. Although it follows on from the first 2 books it can be read as a stand-alone. I would suggest that you do read the first 2, not because it will help with your understanding of this book, but purely because they are fantastic books. If you are going to read them all then I’d recommend reading them in order as the story will flow much better that way. As with the first 2 books this is a very erotic read. It is also the first time that I have read a F/F book. I was unsure how I’d enjoy this. I will say that I did enjoy this book but not quite as much as the first 2. Not saying that this is not a good book, it’s a great book.
Our main heroine Jessie is a cop with a heart of gold. Everything she does is aimed at making life better for others. The owners of the swing club she is a member of have asked her to look out for another member, Sirena, as they are worried about her. In trying to get close to Sirena and to find out her story, Jessie becomes more and more attracted to Sirena. She soon realises that there is a lot more to Sirena’s story than she would ever have imagined.
There is so much more drama an intrigue in this book which keeps you gripped to find out just what Sirena’s story is. I have to admit that I really didn’t like Sirena through most of the book but I adored Jessie. She was an amazing character.
I’ve loved this series so far and I’m now looking forward to reading the next instalment to see what the author has in store for all these characters.

This is a fantasy book and is my favorite of hers as of yet. I enjoy how this author is able to pull me in with creative characters and a plot that is creative and easy flowing. This is a story about a girl who will do anything to get her family back even if it means stealing from a king. Fionna is my favorite character, she is strong, fierce and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book. Will she be the last hope for Caerleon? I highly suggest reading this book to find out.

This trilogy is a MUST read. Each book is about 100 pages so you can rip through the whole trilogy in no time at all. I wish I was able to read them as a boxed set, so congrats on one clicking this.

There is so much to say about the amazingness of this series. The quick, information filled chapters. The visualization from the writing. The believability of the desired situations. It was fascinating to read.

Every letter, every word, every paragraph and every character moved this story along. It was told in such a minimalistic style yet is so full bodied. I felt it had an important moral and I was pleased with how it ended.

This is in my top 3 trilogies that I’ve read. I 100% recommend it to everyone.

Georgia on my Mind ( Southern Promises Book 2) by K.G. Fletcher – Review by Crystal Davidson

Georgia On My Mind (Southern Promises #2)Georgia On My Mind by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is the second installment of the Southern Promises series by K.G. Fletcher. Like the first one, this novel can be read perfectly as a standalone, but makes better sense when read with the series. Hart is unemployed, and living with his sister Katie, who we meet in book 1. Gia is a business owner/dancer/impersonator. They come from different sides of the track and know 2 completely different ways of life. When Hart and Gia hit it off, I was definitely interested in seeing what kinds of ups and downs they experience. This story touched on some real world issues while demonstrating what it means to want to be a better person because of the person you love. I found myself super annoyed by Gia more than once, and kinda in love with Hart just as much. Fantastic read! 5 out of 5 stars!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Georgia Clay is Book 1 of the Southern Promises series by K.G. Fletcher, and my personal favorite of the 3 novels. It can be easily followed as a standalone, however if you plan to read the series as a series, pay attention to the side characters! This book gives excellent insight and builds up ALL the characters rather than just the leading 2. This book was super easy to get lost in. Once I picked it up, I didn’t want to put it down. Clay is an all out Southern gentleman, and Katie also born in the south, is a city girl through and through! I loved following the ups and downs and uncertainty of both characters as they navigate their relationship. I loved that it was 100% romance, and there was no subplots to detract you from what the book was actually about. 5 out of 5 stars!

When I first read the blurb for this book I will be honest and say I almost didn’t read it. I can’t and will never condone human trafficking so why would I read a book about it – but however I thought I would give it ago as it is a story after all. I am really glad that I did read and whilst I still don’t like the content of the book the author did write a really emotional, amazing story that really did keep my attention throughout. I really felt like I was on a journey with all of the characters and I really felt emotional whilst reading their stories. I’ve not read anything by this author before so I would definitely like to read more from her and I would definitely say if the subject matter is putting you off reading then please give it a go, the author really has done a fantastic job with writing this story and I would absolutely recommend it.

We get to meet quiet yet strong Wyatt Thorne, one of The Thone Brothers, and let’s just say that the reader can’t help but fall for him. There is also Rhia Hollis, a business owner that will know how to push Wyatt’s buttons. I was sucked into the storyline immediately, and felt like I was enjoying all that the characters were doing. I absolutely loved their journey. I can’t wait to read more by this author and experience her world building. I consider this to be 4 Star Book.

but I was pleased to know it is the first in a series so it won’t be the last. While I have to admit I wasn’t completely hooked by the first page, the story kicked off a little slow for me but once the story picked up a little more I found myself completely enthralled.
I thoroughly enjoy books with a strong, independent female lead and that’s what I got in Larkin, her group of friends was just as powerful and successful making for great secondary characters.
It’s hard to adequately write a review for a romantic suspense like this one without ruining any of the plot, but the story was just as strong as the characters and I’m looking forward to what more this stand alone series has in store for me. If nothing else I absolutely love the titles for each installment!

Give & Take is book two in The Thorne Brothers series by Lee Kilraine. My first read by this author. It’s just the beginning of something beautiful. I was impressed beyond my wildest dreams. Elation at finding yet another epically talented author was an emotion that I became very familiar with. I don’t know where they get all this talent. My talent can fit into my pinky nail. I am forever thankful for the time, effort and heart that goes into these stories. I just can’t get enough of them.

Now about this mind blowing cast of colourful characters the endlessly entertain with this hilarious antics, amusing idiosyncrasies, and never ending awkwardness, attractiveness and sensuality. I was constantly laughing, but this story was so much deeper than what I could ever have imagined from the beginning, and gave me so much more than I could have possibly dreamed of. Wyatt was a deep and tender hearted man that shouldered doubt and insecurities. His family was his support and Rhia the very one he never knew he needed. Rhia had her own set of troubles, but was so seriously entertaining, I could read about her for years. On paper, they were polar opposites. In reality, there could not be a more perfectly imperfect couple. Give & Take was pleasure personified, and The Thorne Brother series is a must have addition to my library. 5 stars.

Who: A Stalker Series Novel by Megan Mitcham​ is a story that is as powerful as it is explosive, as it is thrilling, as it is enticing, as it is sexy. This psychological thriller will keep you enthralled and intrigued and Megan did a fantastic job of layering each plot and mystery and revealing it slowly like something to be savoured. As if being a woman in a business world where you have to fight twice as hard to prove yourself wasn’t hard enough. But to be taunted and stalked is enough to break even the toughest of us but our heroine was able to kick arse both physically and verbally. And lets not forget her trusty friends and sidekicks, who had me laughing out loud and reminding us of what friends are for. Megan’s writing style is superb and the characters are strong and well written with emotions you can feel. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can not and I mean can not wait to read the next one.

The story THE PLOT by Melinda De Ross is a wonderful romantic suspense book. It is a story I loved reading. It had me hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the last page. It is a story about a woman’s need for revenge but also about healing. I loved reading about the characters of Yoko Hirano and Mark Chandler. Yoko is a woman who was made part of a human trafficking organization. She escapes and then begins her plans for revenge against the organization and the man behind it. She is beautiful, determined, strong, and smart. Yoko is a woman who doesn’t always see herself in the best light. She doesn’t believe that anyone would want to fall in love with her after they find out about her past. She doesn’t believe in love, romance, or happy endings. Then she meets Mark. Mark Chandler owns his own antique business and is a man with secrets of his own. When he meets Yoko, he is very attracted to her and finds her foremost on his mind. Both Mark and Yoko are feeling emotions that they never have with anyone else and that puts them into uncharted waters. Where will their feelings lead them? Will Yoko find Mark to be the one that starts the healing process for her? Are these two soulmates? Will Yoko finally get the revenge against the organization and the man behind what she was made to endure? Read this book to find out. This is a story has moments that are sad and make you feel angry at what happened to Yoko. There are also heartwarming times and you can really feel the love and tenderness that Mark feels for her. There are also moments that are suspenseful and had me wondering what was going to happen next. There are scenes of passion and desire between Mark and Yoko included in this book. This is a wonderfully written story and one I would recommend reading.

By: Jesikah Sundin and Claire Luana
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Fifth Knight: An Arthurian Legend Reverse Harem Romance (The Knights of Caerleon series Book 1) by Jesikah Sundin and Claire Luana is a medieval/fantasy book. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I love fantasy books as they spark my imagination and I find myself lost in the pages of the story. I loved reading about the character of Fionna. She is a fierce and talented warrior. She is also independent and stubborn. She is forced into a course of action to save her father and sister. That action will have her stealing a faerie sword from a king. She is unprepared for what happens next. I also enjoyed reading about Arthur Pendragon and his sword brothers Lancelot, Galahad, and Percival. These four have a strong bond between them and I loved hearing them playfully banter back and forth with each other. Lancelot is one that has feelings for guilt and also a secret that he keeps. Arthur is a man of honor and believes that all that is happening in the Kingdom of Caerleon is his burden to bear. These brothers are all shocked and surprised when the fifth knight that Merlin has spoken of turns out to be Fionna. That the brothers and she are attracted to each other is undeniable. Their thoughts frequently turn toward each other. Is Fionna as the fifth knight the key to breaking the curse on the Kingdom of Caerleon? Fionna feels conflicted as she has to choose between betraying the king and knights that she has feelings for and saving her family. What will she do? Read this book to find out. This is a story that does have passion and romance included. There is also magic, enchantments, and danger. There is one that has their own selfish plans and will do anything to achieve them. The story is told from the POV of several of the characters. This is a wonderfully written story that had me turning pages to find out what happens next as well as rooting for the success of Fionna, Arthur, and the knights. This is the first book in a series and I look forward to reading further stories.

The Fifth Knight (The Knights of Caerleon Book One) by Jesikah Sundin and Claire Luana – Review by Heather Lovelace

The Fifth Knight (The Knights of Caerleon #1)The Fifth Knight by Jesikah Sundin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The description of this book immediately drew my attention. I was unsure what to expect from a reverse harem Arthurian fantasy. But it did not disappoint in the slightest. I love historical fantasies and this take on the Arthurian legend was refreshing, captivating, and dynamic. The book is full of rich detail, relatable characters, and a well-paced plot. This author collaboration is stellar and cohesive. I cannot wait to read more in this series. I will wholeheartedly recommend this book the others.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Erin Wolf

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery, 5 stars.

This set all revolves around the area around Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Book One is about Claire, a woman whom is freshly divorced, forced to live with her parents again, and forty is looming right around the corner. Not to mention that she has always been the fat girl. The one good thing — her job as a blogger. She decides she wants to change befor she hits that ominous number. Her plan — to lose some weight, and be happy again. Will she be able to find happiness and romance again?

Book Two finds two childhood enemies reunited after the death of Aunt Penny. She willed them both her house, and now they are forced to work together to update the house and make it able to flip. A few weeks together renovating a house and then they’ll never have to deal with each other again. That is doable, isn’t it? Or is Aunt Penny still manipulating things from her grave?

In Book Three, Lindy has always considered herself to be the fat friend. But she loves her two best friends and when they keep bugging her, she finally joins them in auditioning for a musical a new local theater group is putting together. It can’t be too bad right?She can just stand in the background and sing, if she even makes it. Plus there is some great eye candy. Meric has been burned by his ex-wife. He is a geeky accountant by day, but he finally feels the pull again of the theater. Will this musical, and maybe the gorgeous Lindy, make him feel again?

This was my first introduction to this author and I won’t lie, I mainly started this series because I live near Rehoboth Beach. I enjoy a good romance, but it is not my favorite genre. These books and this author have completely changed my ideas and mind about romance! They are fun, the characters are sarcastic and so loveable. Each book has a different story too, not just the same story with different leads. Plus they all interconnect, characters from previous books make an appearance in the newer ones. Not only that, but each book can be read as a standalone if you prefer to read them out of order. (I admit, I was a bad girl and read book two first!).

If you like fun romance with great, crazy characters, this set is for you!

Deadly Alliance : A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover Novel by Maddie Wade & India Kells – Review by Maura Harper

Deadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover NovelDeadly Alliance: A Fortis/Purgatory Crossover Novel by Maddie Wade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a quick read full of suspense and action. It’s told in 3rd person and it is a wonderful meshing of two fantastic series. I’ve read most of each series and it is my opinion that you can read this crossover even if you have not.

Even though this is a collaboration between two authors, it is written seamlessly. Had I not know I would not have guessed there are two different narrators to the story.

I appreciate that there are strong alpha females who are equal partners to their male counterparts.

I absolutely recommend this story.

Alterations Trilogy by Jane Suen – Review by Erin Wolf

ALTERATIONS TRILOGY: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal WillALTERATIONS TRILOGY: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal Will by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give ALTERATIONS TRILOGY: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal Will by Jane Suen, 5 stars.

This is a great collection! I would call it science fiction, but it could very easy become reality. It tells the story of Dr. Kite and a microchip that he invented that has mind control capabilities. But it is not approved yet and he needs test subjects. He gets those subjects, sometimes not in the most ethical ways. Three women have the implant inserted, all for different reasons. This trilogy is how their lives are affected by the implants. Remember the old saying, be careful what you wish for? Is this true or will they find happily ever after? And what about Dr. Kite? Will he become famous or will his invention come back to haunt him?

This was such an enjoyable series. It was like nothing I have ever read before and I enjoyed seeing just what each woman and the doctor himself went through throughout the course of this trilogy. Each book is about a different stage of their lives, and therefore makes each one different, yet still part of the whole picture. Very well written, the characters seem quite real, this could happen to someone you know. That’s probably the scariest thing! The story gets you right away and I could not put it down until I was done.

I highly recommend this trilogy to those who like science fiction and just what happens when you try to bend the laws of nature.

Who: A Stalker Series Novel by Meghan Mitcham – Review by Gail Guerrero

Who (Stalker, #1)Who by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Who: A Stalker Series Novel by Meghan Mitcham

Four Stars
I love stories where the lead females are so strong. I also liked that the author didn’t make the female lead hard. She made it to were women reading this story can realize they can run a company without a man at their side and still be soft and feminine. It sucks that men still think that women can’t do anything without them. That men in high positions don’t consider women for jobs they deserve because they are not men. Larkin was a boss but she also had issues. Family can build you up but they can also be the reason that you’re broken inside. The writing style was jumpy at first. I didn’t know who was speaking or thinking but it cleared up after a while. Overall I enjoyed this story though it creeped me out with some of the stalker moments lol. Beckett is scared in more ways then one and it takes it’s toll on their relationship. Though you can’t really call it that when there are so many secrets between them. Larkin is very emotionally unstable and I didn’t trust anyone around her.
