<b>My Review:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First off, this cover is everything! It’s so beautiful and
what first made me take notice of this book. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beautifully Broken Control </i>is book 4 in the Sutter Lake series by
Catherine Cowles. I haven’t read the first three in the series, but I wasn’t
lost. I feel that everything we would have needed for this plot was explained
to us. I would love to go back and read them though since this one was so good!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I loved the two main characters, Kennedy and Cain. Both of
them have been through a lot but they were so good with huge hearts. I loved
these two together. I loved Kennedy’s independence and selfless spirit and
Cain’s protectiveness was nothing sort of sweetness. They had an ama<span style="color: #353535;">zing connection. Their friends were great too!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #353535;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The writing was really well done. I definitely
did not see that ending coming, so I was pleasantly surprised!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b>Excerpt: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Faint rays of sunshine still lit the sky as I headed to my SUV, but the air had just a hint of a bite to it. That was spring in the mountains. I glanced at Walker. “Thanks for the warm welcome.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He gave my back a slap. “Anytime, brother.” He paused with me at my vehicle, looking out to the fields and then back to me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“What is it?” You didn’t know someone as long as I’d known Walker without recognizing their tells. The little ticks that told you they were worried or angry or, like now, had something they wanted to say but were holding back. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Kennedy.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My body began to stiffen, but I forced it to relax. I was the master of giving nothing away, and this situation should be no different. “What about her?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Walker shifted on his feet. “She’s young.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Looks it.” I didn’t know how young, but I’d find out soon enough.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Walker’s jaw hardened. “Be careful.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I bristled at that. But he wasn’t wrong to warn me off. She had an innocence that radiated from her in waves. And I had no plans to change that, but I was curious. That…something I couldn’t put my finger on kept niggling at me as though she were playing at something she wasn’t. I shook my head and gave Walker a grin. “I’ve got no plans to defile Jensen’s protégé. You can rest easy.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The set of Walker’s shoulders eased. “Good. You want free and easy, there are plenty of women around here who are down for that, just like you are. But I get the sense that’s not Kenz.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Kenz?” The nickname curled around my tongue. It fit her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“That’s what Jensen calls her, said Kennedy was too formal. Guess it’s catching on.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I nodded. “I gotta get back to the resort, but let’s grab a drink tomorrow. Hopefully, we’ll be celebrating my closing on that property.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Walker grinned. “I hope it works out. Shoot me a text tomorrow, and we’ll figure out a time.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Sounds good.” I beeped my locks and opened my door, but paused before I climbed in. “Walker?” He paused in his trek back to the ranch house, turning to face me. “I’m happy for you.” The words made a burn take flight in my chest. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The smile that spread across his face was one that could only belong to a man who was a total goner for his woman. “Thanks, Cain. You’ll—” He cut himself off before he could finish the sentence. He knew better than to tell me that I’d find that. “I’m glad you’re here.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I am, too.” I gave a jerk of my chin and climbed into my SUV. The drive back to the resort I was staying at a few miles outside of town was quiet. Only the sounds of gravel under my tires to keep me company. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Gravel turned to pavement as I pulled into the resort. I hopped out of my Rover, leaving the door open for the valet. I ignored any polite smiles from fellow guests and staff as I headed straight for my suite. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The familiar itch at the back of my brain was back. Something that said I needed to know more about the girl from dinner. I slipped my keycard into the lock, fingers drumming against my thigh as I waited for the light to turn green. I pushed open the door and headed straight for the safe. Keying in the code, I removed my laptop. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I strode to the desk, setting my computer down and settling into the chair. I opened the laptop, typing in my security codes. I launched a browser and got to work. An hour went by in record time. An hour, and almost nothing to show for it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I stared at the image on my screen. Auburn hair, freckles dusting the tops of her cheeks and nose, creamy white complexion below, and startling green eyes. There was no denying she was beautiful. Beautiful in a way that would stop a man in his tracks and make him do a whole lot of stupid shit just to get her to turn that smile his way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But there was also no denying that she was a ghost. The only photo I could find of her was the one on her driver’s license. Other than that one single piece of ID, the woman didn’t exist. No bank account. No credit cards. No lease. No car. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">There was nothing else, good or bad, that I could find. Anywhere. While some would say that was a good thing, I knew the truth. It was nothing but bad. People didn’t erase a life unless they had something to hide.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">One dinner and I knew my friends were taken by her. It was no surprise. Sarah and Jensen had the most tender hearts of anyone I knew. They were forever rescuing strays, both animal and human. Hell, that’s why I was there, wasn’t it? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But they often didn’t think about the risks involved. Walker used to be good about checking that stuff out, but it seemed Taylor had softened him, made him just a touch less cynical about the world. I was happy for my brother, but it just meant that I needed to look out for the friends in my life who were more like family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">And that’s just what I’d do.</span></div>

<h4>
Love the game, not the player.</h4>
It’s always a bad sign at an interview when your would-be employer orders you to strip—especially if the job is as the nanny to a grieving little girl. It’s even worse if you’re tempted to do it.
Zach Pennington is a football star and now, suddenly, a single dad to a niece he barely knows. He’s also the most arrogant, clueless, vulnerable, sexy, stubborn, big-hearted man I’ve ever met, but Payton needs me, and I know what it feels like to be orphaned.
I just have to remember Rule Number One.
<strong>Zach might be a great player, on the field and off, but I know better than to fall for your boss</strong>.
By the way, I’m proud to say that I didn’t strip for him—<em>then</em>.

<strong>EXCERPT: </strong></h2>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Zach</b> </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Winning was the best feeling in the world—whether it was on the football field or in bed. Right now, I was still basking in the glory of a truly epic <i>win</i>. And it was the off-season. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Someone stirred beside me and I groaned, reaching a hand to yank her back to bed. I heard the soft giggle as I snuggled closer to her, breathing in the scent of whoever this girl was. When I reached out to snake my arms around her waist, she squirmed under my touch. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “You’re so sexy, Zach,” she whispered, leaning closer to me. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> It wasn’t exactly poetry, but I hadn’t brought her to my room for her huge… brain. She kissed me with such heated intensity that I couldn’t repress my grin. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Was I good?” It was a rhetorical question, but I wasn’t above soliciting a little ego-stroking. Hell, I liked a <i>lot</i> of ego-stroking. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “The best,” she murmured, shifting herself to straddle me. I moaned when she arched against me, leaning in to kiss me again when my phone rang. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Fuck. Ignore it, baby,” I muttered, reaching for her face and guiding it to mine.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>But the stupid thing continued to ring and the more we tried to ignore it, the louder it seemed to get. With a growl of frustration, I grabbed the phone. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Hello?” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Zach, I’m sorry for, uh, waking you, but this is really important.” My assistant’s voice was polite, as it always was. But there was something in his tone that set the hair on my arms on end. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Anderson, this better be good because I’ll fire you if it isn’t,” I growled into the phone. The laughter of the pretty blonde straddling me vibrated through my groin, and I threw her a smirk. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Zach, I think you need to go to Denver. I’ve booked your flight. It leaves in an hour, so you’d better hurry.” Anderson said. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> My eyebrows furrowed and I motioned for the girl to get off of me. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “What the hell is going on, Anderson?” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> A long sigh came over the line. “Something happened to Dean and Margaret.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> My stomach dropped. My insides churned as I swung my legs around and planted my feet on the floor. I wedged the phone between my shoulder and ear as I grabbed my jeans from the floor and pulled them on. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I walked to the floor to ceiling window in my high-rise condo. When I looked out at the view of Tampa, I told myself that the weakness in my knees was due to the diligent work ethic of the blonde. I startled when I felt her arms wrapping around my waist. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Give me a minute, Anderson,” I mumbled and then placed my hand to cover the phone before turning to the groupie. Her sexy pout was souring. “I had fun last night, but I have a busy day ahead of me.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> She frowned. “That’s it? You’re not even getting my number?” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I simply shrugged and returned my attention to the phone call. When she let out a dramatic huff, I glanced back to see her putting on her clothes. Fun time was over. It was going to end anyhow, though—what had she expected? </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “What happened to Dean and Margaret?” I demanded. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Again, I heard Anderson sigh. “They got into an accident. Payton’s also in the hospital but she’s okay. Dean’s in critical condition and Maggie… Maggie’s gone.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I leaned forward, my forehead hitting the cool glass of the window. “Shit.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> My eyes closing, my mind immediately flashed to an image of my beautiful and wonderful sister-in-law. I’d known her since she and Dean began to date in their junior year of high school. She became the mother figure I needed when our mother died of cancer and had been my shoulder to cry on when our father died a year after. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> That was the worst time of my life. Until now. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “I’ll see you at the airport, Anderson. You’re coming with me. I’ll be there as fast as I can.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I rinsed off, changed and then stuffed all my clothes in my duffel bag. It was only when I was in the cab heading to the airport that I realized I hadn’t stopped to let Coach or the manager know I was leaving. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “I took care of that,” Anderson assured me as we boarded the plane. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I gave him a curt nod, too distracted by my own fear to even say “thank you.” Hopefully he understood. I was practically vibrating with anxiety for the entire flight. Usually that was Anderson’s thing. When we finally arrived in Denver, we headed straight to the hospital, our bags slung over our shoulders. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> The triage nurse in the Emergency Room wasn’t impressed by my celebrity, or the fact that I’d bypassed the line of sick and injured people. “Sir, you have to—” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> <i>Fuck waiting.</i> “Dean Pennington, I’m here for Dean Pennington. They were in an accident.” My hand shook as I rubbed my forehead. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Are you related to the patient, sir?” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “I’m his brother!” I almost shouted. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> It took another ten minutes and the threat of a security guard intervention to locate Dean in the ICU. I didn’t even know where the fuck that was, but I ran up the stairs, doubling my speed and ignoring Anderson shouting at me to slow down. Eventually I had to wait for him, because he knew where to go and I didn’t. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> At the fifth floor, I burst into the bubble of Intensive Care, and jogged past glass walls, searching for my brother’s smile. His hair. <i>Anything</i>. I couldn’t see shit, but something made me stop in front of a room with a lot of activity. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “What’s going on?” I asked someone rushing in. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> But he only shook his head. “Check in at the desk.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I tried to stop someone else. “Can you tell me where Dean Pennington is?” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> But she didn’t even stop to answer me, she just plowed past me. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> My assistant appeared at my side, breathless from running up the stairs. “Zach…” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I shook my head. “It’s not Dean. It can’t be Dean. He won’t leave Payton.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Anderson patted my shoulder, and I let him steer me to a chair while he talked to someone at the desk at the heart of the unit. My stomach flipped as I noticed the clerk and Anderson both looking pointedly at the room six feet away, full of medical personnel. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> An eternity later, a doctor and some nurses piled out of the room. I jumped up. “Doctor, Dean Pennington?” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> He paused. “Are you a relative?” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “I’m his brother.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> The doctor sighed, his eyes red and tired-looking behind his thick glasses. “Let’s talk.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> He ushered me over to a tiny room off the hallway near the doors to the ICU. There was nothing hopeful about the look on his face, or the tiny fucking room with some flower paintings on the walls. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Dean arrived here five hours ago with multiple injuries from an MVA.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I stared at him blankly. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> “Multiple vehicle accident,” he explained. “It was pretty serious. His wife died on impact.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I nodded. “I know.” <i>Jesus, I was going to have to call Maggie’s parents, wasn’t I? </i>“Is Dean going to be okay?” I asked, my voice cracking. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Something in me already knew, but the extra pause the doctor took before answering was like the proverbial nail in the coffin. <i>Shit, bad analogy. </i></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> With sorrowful eyes, he said, “I’m sorry. We did everything we could, but his injuries were just too severe.” He waited, maybe wondering if I had follow-up questions. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> I didn’t. </span></div>

I was really excited that I was able to receive a copy of
this book for review. The synopsis sounded interesting and I loved the cover! I
really enjoyed this story and will definitely be picking up more books from
this author!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The story follows a women named Carin who seems to have it
all. A loving husband, a great son, friends, family and an incredible job. But
something is missing from her life and she can’t figure out what is it, but she
knows she’s unhappy. When she meets a man names Matias everything changes. Just
like the title says, Carin does in fact leave her life for a year. She becomes
a completely different person! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While I am not a mother, I can’t imagine just picking up and
leaving your entire life, especially if you have children. While this made me
angry and made me want to drop a star in my rating, everything made sense in
the end and I was very happy for it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The writing is beautiful. You get a real sense for who Carin
as a wife, mother, sister, daughter and person. I would recommend this book.
You’ll feel like you are taking a break from your life for a few hours! <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Emo doesn’t feel. Anything. His soul is dark and filled with hatred. People in the small town of Malus watch him with fear, with reverence. Exactly the way he prefers it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My Review:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Key To Hell is
book 4 in the Hell Night series. I have pretty much been obsessed with these
books since the first one came out and I have been even more excited to finally
read Emo’s book. <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-size: large;">Emo has been the brother who always had it worse on Hell
night because he was forced to hurt Rella. He also had it the worst because
while the others had “loving parents” the other days of the month, Emo’s dad
was always abusive. Due to his childhood and what he had to do to Rella, he
always needed pain and he was emotionally unstable. I always knew there was
more to his character, and I absolutely loved getting his point of view in this
book. We were able to see a whole other side to Emo and his loving, caring,
selfless side made me fall in love with him even more. <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-size: large;">Emo and Rella together was a beautiful thing. Both have been
through so much and it was absolutely wonderful seeing their love blossom. I’m
still swooning over the care that Emo showed Rella. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I only have one love now—the home furnishings business I’m building into an empire. Maybe money and success can’t love me back, but they keep what’s left of my heart safe. One-night stands are my way of scratching the occasional itch I get for something more. And no one’s better for that than a sexy as sin hockey player I’ll never see again after one very hot night together.</div>

I used to love two things: hockey and women. But now my nieces and nephew are my top priority, because I’m raising them after tragedy stole their parents. Somehow I balance single parenthood and my career as a forward for the Chicago Blaze. There’s no time for women, until I get knocked on my ass by Abby Daniels. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted, but her devastating past may end us before we even get started.</div>

<strong>My Review:</strong></h2>
<div>
While reading <i>Anton</i>,
the first book in the Chicago Blaze series, I was so intrigued by Luca! Luca is
Anton’s teammate and friend, but we didn’t know much about Luca except that he
was raising his two nieces and his nephew. I was so excited to read his story,
and it definitely did not disappoint.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My favorite scenes from <i>Luca</i>
was when he was interacting with his nieces and nephew. Luca is the strong,
silent type (well he’s not really silent, but he is quiet compared to his
teammates!) and I loved reading how he took his brother’s kids and is
everything a parent should be. He loves them like they were his own. I loved
when they were painting his nails, and when he called one of them peanut. It
was so sweet and I honestly just melted into a puddle when he was around them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also loved the way he was there for Abby. Man, Abby has
been through some stuff! She is a great person, but what she’s been through has
changed her. Luca is exactly what she needed to start the process of healing
and moving on. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, this book had everything I had come to love from
author Brenda Rothert!<o:p></o:p></div>

<strong>Excerpt: </strong></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Hold still, Uncle Luca.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">My niece Emerson gives me her best glare, but she’s five and cute, so it makes me smile.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“I’m trying,” I tell her, checking out the dark purple polish she’s trying to brush onto my nails.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It’s not my inability to hold still that has more nail polish on my skin than my nails; it’s her technique. My “MANicure”, as my two nieces like to call it, started with my ten-year-old niece Cora and was then passed off to Emerson.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“I found yogurt!” Cora says as she breezes into my bathroom. “It’s got strawberries in the bottom, but that’s okay. This face mask will make you smell good, Uncle Luca.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I try not to roll my eyes. It’ll be better than the last face mask they whipped up in the kitchen, which had butter in it and was a bitch to scrub off in the shower.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“I have to leave for practice in twenty-five minutes,” I remind the girls. “And I still need a shower. So you have ten more minutes to beautify me.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Will you paint my nails, too?” Cora asks me.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Sure.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I was shit at painting nails when I first became the legal guardian of my two nieces and one nephew a little over a year ago. With practice, though, I’ve gotten pretty damn good at it. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“How long ‘til Gram and Gramps will be here?” Emerson asks, still painting my thumb nail even though she’s looking at me.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“About four hours ‘til their flight lands, then maybe an hour for them to get to the house.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Her toothless grin of excitement makes me ignore the nail polish I can feel on my knuckle.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Emerson!” Cora yells. “You ruined it! That looks awful.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Cora picks up the bottle of purple nail polish and Emerson’s happy expression drops away.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Give it to me,” Cora huffs, holding out her hand for the handle to the polish. “I never should have let you do it.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Hey, now.” I give Cora a sharp look. “She was doing her best.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Cora’s eyes flood with tears. Emerson edges closer to me, because she knows what happens when Cora gets upset.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“He won’t let us do spa days if you mess it up!” Cora cries, glaring at her younger sister. “You ruined everything!”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“You didn’t ruin anything,” I tell Emerson. “And Cora, I never said we wouldn’t do this again. We can do a big spa day after my road trip, okay?”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Cora wipes her eyes and nods, still crying. It kills me to see her like this. As the oldest, she carries more of the weight from the deaths of her parents than her siblings. We’ve been in counseling for more than a year now, transitioning through the death of their mother, my sister-in-law Danielle, to the kids’ new life with me as their guardian. The clinical terms for what Cora struggles with—anxiety and controlling tendencies—are easier for me to handle than her breakdowns.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The tension leaves the room and Emerson starts my massage, which is pretty much just her karate chopping my shoulders, while Cora slathers strawberry yogurt onto my face. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Is your shoulder better?” Cora asks me.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Yep, it’s all good.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Think my mashage helped?” Emerson asks from behind me.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">She can’t pronounce some words, and I kinda hope that’ll last longer, because it gets me every time.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“It definitely helped,” I tell her.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I tweaked my shoulder at practice yesterday, and Cora noticed me wince when I was taking out the trash last night. She worries about every sinus cold and bruise I get. I can’t blame the kid. Her dad, my brother Matt, died serving in Iraq and her mom passed away from cancer a year later. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Hey, let’s get your nails painted, Cora,” I say after glancing at my watch. “I’ve only got five minutes til I have to hit the shower.” I turn to Emerson. “Can you go get the nail polish remover, peanut?”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Okay.” She races from the room, brown curls flying behind her.</span></div>

eyes on her that there was something different about her. Something special.
Something so unique that it practically poleaxed him the moment that their eyes
met.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Except, the next time he saw her, it was like
she was a different woman altogether. There was a blankness to her eyes that
concerned him. An air of menace about her that honestly scared him to death.
He’s more than man enough to admit it.</span><br />

bi-polar, or possibly psychopathic.</span><br />

such different personalities, but two.</span><br />

to destroy it.</span></span><o:p></o:p><br />

When I first read the synopsis, I knew that I wanted to read
the book. I requested it and starting reading an eARC. From the first chapter I
was confused and felt like there were key information that I was missing. After
doing some research on goodreads, I learned that it was book 8 in the Bear
Bottom Guardians MC. I continued reading the story, because it is, in itself
its own story. However, I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I had
read the first seven books in the series. I’ll be honest, I wish I knew this
before requesting. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Besides that, I did enjoy the two characters, Theodora
(Theo) and Josiah (Liner). Theo definitely has gone through a lot, being
brought up in a crazy family with a horrible father, brother and twin sister.
Her other brother is the only other normal one besides her. Liner was the
perfect male for her. He was sweet, caring and supportive. I really loved these
two together and they had a wonderful chemistry!<o:p></o:p></div>

I did enjoy this story, I just wish I knew more of the
backstory. I would recommend this story, but I definitely feel you should read
the other books in the series first! <o:p></o:p></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Greyson East left his mark on me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My Review:</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ok, first off. WOW. I was not expecting such a beautiful,
funny, heartwarming story. Everything about this book was so perfect. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Eleanor & Grey </i>is
told in two parts. Part I focuses on the two main characters as seniors in high
school in 2003 (literally the same as me!) and Part II is written in 2019, when
they are both adults. I loved Grey and Ellie so much! I can’t even put it into
words! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eleanor, or Ellie is an introverted, Harry Potter fan. She
would much rather be reading at home, cuddled in bed, or hanging out with her
mom and dad, then going to parties. Ellie spoke to me. I am Ellie and Ellie is
me. I felt so connected to her. Her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, so
she’s been going through a lot. Greyson is her opposite, or so people think. He
comes off as a happy, go with the flow, popular boy, but he is dealing with a
lot. His parents are crappy and he doesn’t have any real connections with anyone.
When the two of them become friends, they finally found someone they can be
real with and forget about their problems. I loved these two together as
teenagers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When they meet again in 2019, Ellie hasn’t changed much, but
Grey is a shell of a man that he used to be. He’s a widow trying to raise two daughters.
Ellie and Grey meet again when she’s hired as a nanny to his daughters and I
loved watching them reconnect.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I loved the writing. It was so beautiful and flowed nicely.
I enjoyed every second of this story. I would love to read more from this author!
<o:p></o:p></div>

I highly recommend this story! Everything about it was
amazing! <o:p></o:p></div>

Excerpt: </h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Eleanor</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thirty-two years old</span></i></div>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Greyson’s assistant, Allison, finished giving me a tour of the house. “Okay, I think that’s everything. I’m going to head out now, but go ahead and make yourself comfortable. Get used to the property. Mr. East knows you’re here today, so don’t feel like you aren’t allowed to wander around a bit. If you need anything, my cell number is on the contact list in the book, or you can email me. If nothing comes up, I hope your first day goes well. Claire will be with you Monday to make sure the transition goes smoothly.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I must have looked terrified because as Allison grabbed her coat and purse to leave, she gave me a light squeeze on the shoulder. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“You’re going to be fine, Eleanor. Mind over matter. You got this. Let’s touch base later in the week so I can check in on how things are going.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Sounds great. Thanks, Allison.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">After she left, I took a deep breath and flipped through a few pages in the binder. Then, I did a once-through of the house, familiarizing myself with whose room was where. There was something so unsettling about the quietness of Greyson’s home. It was so dark with an odd gloomy feeling attached to it, haunting almost. I didn’t mean dark as in the lighting situation, rather it was the energy level. There was such a heaviness in the space. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The place felt like a house, not a home.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">If I hadn’t known any better, I wouldn’t have believed a family lived there at all. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It felt so abandoned, almost like a memory frozen in time.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">That might’ve just been my own thoughts, thought, due to knowing about the tragedy that had taken place in the lives of the individuals who lived there. With the number of books I’d read, it wasn’t inaccurate to say my mind wandered toward the dramatics. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I walked back into the kitchen, flipping through the binder, completely taken aback by the girls’ schedules. Between school, swim lessons, karate, piano lessons, physical therapy, and grief counseling, I wasn’t sure how they found the time to live a little.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Eleanor.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I leaped out of my skin at the sound of my name and turned to see Greyson standing behind me with an empty glass in his hand. He was dressed in a suit and tie, which was so strange to me. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Who wore a suit and tie in their own home? </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I hardly wore pants when I was home alone. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh, Greyson, hi. Sorry I’m still here. Allison was just giving me a tour, and she said it was okay to look around a bit more.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“She made me aware.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Wow. He had responded immediately, unlike the first time I saw him. I called that progress.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I smiled at him, but he didn’t smile back, and that felt like the oddest thing in the world. The old Greyson had been full of smiles.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s a beautiful home,” I stated, unsure what else to talk about. “It’s massive. I swear, it’s like ten times the size of my place.” He blankly stared my way as I shifted from foot to foot. “I love the décor,” I blurted out, and I hated myself the second the words left my lips. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just walk away, Eleanor. Don’t be awkward. </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Those throw pillows in your living room are to die for. Where did you get them?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“The interior designer chose everything,” he replied dryly. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh, right, of course. My interior designer is normally the clearance section at T.J. Maxx,” I joked. “Or on special occasions, Target.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He didn’t laugh, probably because I wasn’t funny. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I wondered when was the last time he’d laughed. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Did he ever find anything funny anymore?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">We kept staring at one another in the most uncomfortable silence, though I didn’t feel as if I could pull myself away from it. I probably stared at him too long, but how could I not? I’d gone fifteen-some years without looking at him. It was understandable that I wouldn’t be able to turn away quickly. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The awkwardness of it all finally came to a halt when Greyson cleared his throat. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Eleanor?” </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Yes?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I came for water.” </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh?” I stared at him like an idiot, wide-eyed like a deer in headlights, waiting for his next words. I stood still as if he were going to expand on his interest in water. Was he offering me a drink? Were we going to sip water and catch up on things? Was I finally going to be able to ask him how he’d become the CEO of his father’s company at such a young age? What had happened to his father?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">His stare narrowed, and his lips turned down in a displeased fashion. He nodded once.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Hmm?” I asked.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He nodded more aggressively this time, gesturing past me.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I glanced behind me and realized I was standing right in front of the refrigerator, blocking the water dispenser. I stepped to the side, mentally beating myself up.</span>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Idiot.</span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh, right, of course. Well, I think I’m done here, so I’ll see myself out,” I stated, scrambling to grab my binder. “Have a good afternoon.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He didn’t reply, but that wasn’t shocking. I was quickly learning that this new Greyson didn’t have nearly as much to say as the old one.</span>

<strong> Book Blurb:</strong></h2>
Natalie Shay never imagined a day like this would come. She did what she was supposed to do: graduate college and marry her handsome, popular college sweetheart. With the ink still drying on their divorce papers, Natalie tries to move on from an ending she thought would be happy.
When she feels a spark with her stubborn, charming best friend Aidan Costa, Natalie's life becomes even more unrecognizable. Aidan has been her best friend for years, stood beside her when she got married, and has a notorious aversion to relationships. As confusion and denial overwhelm them, their spark grows.
Held back by a secret he has been keeping his whole life, Aidan decides to ignore his feelings for Natalie. Natalie's discovery of his secret pushes them past the boundaries they've carefully constructed around their friendship.
For Natalie, this could be a second chance at her happily ever after. But when a person from Aidan's past reappears, everything he has built with Natalie is threatened.

<strong>My Review:</strong></h2>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Good on Paper</i> is
one of the stories that show two not so perfect people fall in love, but they
both keep making mistakes when it comes to each other. Aiden and Natalie were
super relatable because of this. I feel like one of the problems in romance
novels is that the characters are just two perfect, and I loved how these two
were clearly not!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Natalie and Aiden dealt with lots of curves in the road before
they could reach their happily ever after but I loved how despite everything
they fought for each other. I would definitely call this a slow burn romance,
but it is a quick read. I love the Aiden was a teacher too since I’m a high
school history teacher! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re looking for a rainy day read, <i>Good on Paper</i> is perfect for you! <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Review:</span></b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After reading the prequel story, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Snowfall</i>, I was super excited to read the full-length novel
featuring Kira and Ky. While I realized I am not a huge fan of motorcycle club
romances, I still fully enjoyed Kira and Ky’s story. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kira and Ky are stepsiblings for the last two years, but
have never met. When Kira’s mom married Ky’s dad, his dad left his club and Ky
has wanted nothing to do with him since. But Kira needs help and Ky feels a
need to help her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I really loved the romance in the story. Ky and Kira were
super hot together! I also enjoyed the mystery aspect and the last 50 pages
just completely flew through! I needed to know what was going to happen!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, this was a good romance and a quick read. I’ve read
other stories from this author, so <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Slashes
in the Snow</i> definitely will not be my last from her!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #181818; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he
feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers
balance down to the penny, but not big, important emotions—like grief. And
love. He thinks he’s defective. His family knows better—that his autism means
he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids
relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to
Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.</span><span style="color: #181818; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City,
Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity arises to come to
America and meet a potential husband, she can’t turn it down, thinking this
could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn’t go as
planned. Esme’s lessons in love seem to be working…but only on herself. She’s
hopelessly smitten with a man who’s convinced he can never return her affection.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">With Esme’s time in the United States dwindling, Khai is
forced to understand he’s been wrong all along. And there’s more than one way
to love.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I really loved last years <i>The Kiss Quotient</i> by Helen Hoang, so I was super excited when I was
able to receive a copy of the follow up, <i>The
Bride Test</i>. This story follows Khai, an autistic man who doesn’t do love or
relationships and Esme, a Vietnamese women who wants a better life for her and
her daughter. I loved these two so much! Since the second they met, their
connection jumped off the pages.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The story had so many laugh out loud moments, but also had a
lot of heart and emotion. It literally had everything I could want in a story.
The ending had me stupid smiling, even hours after I had finished it. The
beginning was a little slow, but after about 25%, the rest just flew by! I
needed to know how Esme and Khai’s story was going to play out. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also loved how Khai’s autism was portrayed and how his
family, especially his brother handled it. I loved Khai and Quan’s relationship.
I loved no matter what they were there for each other. I really enjoyed seeing
Michael and Stella again (The main characters from <i>The Kiss Quotient</i>) too!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My favorite scene is a scene between Khai, Quan and Michael.
Even thinking about it makes me laugh again!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Esme was also a wonderful character. I loved how motivated
and determined she was. I loved watching her grow into a confident women and
seeing her stick up for herself! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, Hoang has done it again with her sophomore novel! I
cannot wait to see what other amazing stories this hugely talented lady comes
up with! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you Berkley Romance for sending me an advanced review copy! </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫:</span></div>
<span style="color: black;">When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Now he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can’t have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers.</span>
<span style="color: black;">That’s not my biggest concern though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I need to stay away from him.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧:</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Years ago, Miller and I made a pact that we’d win a Super Bowl together. When I’m offered a position on his team in Chicago, I don’t hesitate. I move across the country to chase a dream that’s a decade old.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Only, now that I’m here, he’s avoiding me every chance he gets. If he was anyone else, I’d cut my losses.</span>
<span style="color: black;">But this is Shane Miller—the guy who makes everything better just by existing in my universe. The guy I’d do anything for. The guy who’s more to me than a brother, a friend, or even a teammate.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I’m not going to let him get away.</span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><strong>Excerpt</strong></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“God, I wish I was there,” Miller says. His solemn face fills my
phone screen, and I wish he was here too.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Here?” I croak. “Why?”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Scenarios run through my head of what Miller could do if he were
here right now, and not one of them is PG-rated.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Why do you think? I’m going batshit and my leg is messed up. I
wanna be back on the field.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Ah, he’s still talking about football. Duh.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“I’ll get you there,” I promise.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“You’re really going to spend your off season training me?
Shouldn’t you be taking a jersey chaser or two to a sex island?”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I perk up. “There are sex islands? Think we could recondition
there?”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“On second thought, I don’t think you should be let loose on a sex
island. You’d probably forget to do important things like eat and drink water,
and then you’d die of dehydration.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Like those animals who literally fuck themselves to death?”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“What?” I ask.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“There are these rat-looking things from Australia. The males
literally stop eating so they can have sex until they die. Something about
their need to keep their gene pool going.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“I shouldn’t be shocked about your weird knowledge of animal sex,
but I am.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Just trying to find my spirit animal.” I sigh. “Although lately
I’m more like a panda. If I go much longer without sex, I’ll forget how to do
it.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Why my brain thinks that’s a good idea to tell Miller, I have no
idea. Maybe I’m fishing for him to agree with me or maybe I want him to know
that I’m not fucking around with anyone else. Not that I’m fucking around with
him either.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Aww, how long has it been? A few days? A week?” He smiles but
there’s something in it that makes me think he’s gritting his teeth while he
does.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Try months. That night … with you and those two girls. That’s the
last time I …” I wave my hand in a <i>you know what I’m trying to
say </i>gesture.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Holy shit, how are you surviving? And what about your pregame
ritual?”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“The new calluses on my hands aren’t from throwing footballs.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Miller cracks up laughing, and something inside me breaks. What it
is, I don’t know, but it’s like charging the field at the beginning of a game.
It’s a touchdown in the last minute. It’s putting that championship ring on for
the first time. It’s … everything.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Shane,” I say, my voice coarse.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">His eyes flick to mine through the small screen, and his laughter
dies.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">My confession is a whisper. “I chickened out.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Miller’s brow furrows. “Chickened out of what?”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“This. FaceTiming you.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Miller looks like he’s trying to decide to mock me or let me off
the hook. I beat him to talking so he can do neither.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“I’ve wanted to. You have no idea how much.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">His expression softens. “I think I have a fair idea. I wasn’t
calling you on your bluff or taunting you.” He lowers his voice and whispers,
“I wanted it. I want this.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Miller’s gaze burns so hot I expect my phone to overheat. How I’ve
never seen him this way before now is confusing, but not really when I dissect
it.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I uprooted my whole life for him. Moved to Chicago to be near him.
All because I missed what I had with him, which up until recently, I thought
was just a solid friendship.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Friends don’t give up what I did just so they can see their
college buddy again. That’s illogical. That doesn’t stop me from trying to make
sense of it. And to make sense of it, I need to do something I’ve been putting
off. For fear of rejection, fear of discovering some unknown truth that’s
always been a part of me, I don’t know. But I do know Miller doesn’t scare me.
Doing this with Miller doesn’t scare me.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Take your shirt off,” I rasp.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<span style="color: black;"><strong>About the Author</strong></span></h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">Eden Finley is an Amazon bestselling author who writes steamy contemporary romances that are full of snark and light-hearted fluff. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">She doesn’t take anything too seriously and lives to create an escape from real life for her readers. The ideas always begin with a wackadoodle premise, and she does her best to turn them into romances with heart.</span>
<span style="color: black;">With a short attention span that rivals her five-year-old son's, she writes multiple different pairings: MM, MMF, and MF. </span>
<span style="color: black;">She's also an Australian girl and apologises for her Australianisms that sometimes don't make sense to anyone else.</span>

My Review:</h4>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes you get to be lucky enough to read a book that
gives you all the feels. <i>She Found Him</i>
was that book for me. It had everything I wanted it a story. It was adorably
cute, but dealt with some real topics that I completely connected with. I loved
everything about this story, and I can’t want to read more from this author. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>She Found Him </i>is
about a Veterinarian named Liam and an Australian currently living in America
named Rose. When they first meet at an “Adopt Don’t Shop” event, she accidently
hits him with her sign-<i>twice</i> and then
runs away! They meet again a week later when she comes to his office after
finding a stray puppy on her porch. This is when the magic begins! Liam, Rose
and the puppy Wilbur were all so perfectly written. I loved them all! Little
Wilbur (nicknamed Wilby!) was just the cutest and it made me realize even more
that I need to have a dog in my life right away. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I connected with Rose on such a personal level as well. She
is dealing with homesickness and hasn’t seen her parents in two years since she
left Australia. This was very real to me because my parents live in New York
and I moved down to Texas. I understood how she felt about needing and missing
them and wanting to go home. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, this story was just absolutely perfect. I loved
everything about it. I am so glad I was given an advanced copy to read! <i>She Found Him </i>is a quick read that is
100% worth it! Highly recommend! <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">B. Cranford is a proud Australian living in the USA, a lover of books, breadsticks and bed, and the mother of two children who are far too similar to their father for her liking. A lifelong reader, she dove into the romance genre on the recommendation of her best friend and hasn't looked back since. After three years as a blogger, she decided it was high time she finally finished one of the 12,002 books she'd started writing, and the end result was her debut novel, The Brightest Star.</span></div>

I only have one love now—the home furnishings business I’m building into an empire. Maybe money and success can’t love me back, but they keep what’s left of my heart safe. One-night stands are my way of scratching the occasional itch I get for something more. And no one’s better for that than a sexy as sin hockey player I’ll never see again after one very hot night together.</div>

I used to love two things: hockey and women. But now my nieces and nephew are my top priority, because I’m raising them after tragedy stole their parents. Somehow I balance single parenthood and my career as a forward for the Chicago Blaze. There’s no time for women, until I get knocked on my ass by Abby Daniels. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted, but her devastating past may end us before we even get started.</div>

Book Blurb:</strong>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<strong><i><span style="font-size: small;">Once upon a time, a boy and a girl fell in love…but prestige, power, and a shameful secret drove them apart.</span></i></strong></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">Julia fled abroad after the death of her husband, Lord Fallthorpe. She has finally returned to England, but little has changed.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">Except for her.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">As a dowager marchioness, Julia lives and loves where she pleases. And the obnoxious son of her dead husband does not please. But what can an independent woman do? Why, create a scandal, of course!</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">Viscount Wolfington is no stranger to the wagging tongues of the ton. Between being a Lustful Lord and the scandal of his birth, he learned long ago that society had little use for him. So when he walks into The Market and finds the woman who once stole his heart being auctioned for a night of debauchery, he jumps at another chance to hold her--even for just a single night.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">As Julia and Wolf unravel their pasts, will villainy win again, or will love finally conquer all?</span></h3>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
From just reading the synopsis, I knew that I wanted to read
this story! When it appeared on my kindle (in the form of an eARC), I read it
right away. Realizing after I had already started it that it was book three of
the Lustful Lords series, I became a little hesitate, but it didn’t take
anything away from the story. I definitely think that you can read <i>His Scandalous Viscountess </i>as a
standalone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The story literally starts at a sex auction and within a few
pages there is one of the hottest three ways I have ever read. I seriously
loved Wolf, Julia and Linc together. I wanted more! The story has more sexy
times throughout and I was not disappointed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
I think my favorite part of the story was Wolf, also known
as Grayson Powell Viscount Wolfington. He wasn’t your typical Lord that we
usually read about in historical romances. He didn’t come off as an asshole,
which I really appreciated. He was kind and caring and I loved how he wanted to
take care of Julia. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I would like to read
the first two books in the series as soon as possible. I think they are perfect
rainy day reads when you’re looking for a little spice. <o:p></o:p></div>

<strong>About MAKE ME BAD (available March 7th)</strong></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was issued a warning: stay away from Ben Rosenberg.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As Clifton Cove’s resident “king”, he thinks he’s entitled to anyone and anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trouble is, I’ve spent my whole life following the rules and playing it safe. I know what it feels like to be the good girl. I’m the police chief’s daughter and a librarian—for<em> adorable children</em>, no less. My wardrobe consists of colorful sundresses and baggy jeans. I might as well have a Post-it stuck to my forehead that reads: <em>Yup, she’s a virgin.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><br /></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An all-nighter with a fictional hunk is about as exciting as my life gets, until one day, fate decides to take pity on me and shove me straight into the path of Mr. Off-Limits himself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Oof.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><br /></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just as I suspected, every inch of him promises to be my demise. Up close, he’s tall, menacing, dangerously handsome—the type of man who’s never spent a single moment worrying about the opinions of others. A well-behaved girl would do as she’s told and avoid him at all costs, but I’m overdue for a little rebellion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No more Friday nights sprawled out on the couch in my comfiest pajamas. No more wishing I had the courage to misbehave.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone thinks Ben is going to ruin me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They think he’ll chew me up and spit me out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, Ben…go ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tempt me. Taunt me.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>About INTERLUDE</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jordan Weston is good-looking, mysterious, and sexually uninhibited, but his life is more like the name of his bar―Just an Illusion. His cousins are the bad boys of Bastards and Dangerous, but their fame hasn’t made everything rainbows and sunshine for him. He’s haunted, flawed, and the sole survivor of a homicide that wiped out his immediate family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Allie Baker, the most recent hire at the bar, can see through Jordan’s façade. She knows he’s everything she doesn’t need, but she’s beginning to crave his cocky attitude and the way he looks at her. The more she tries to stay away from him, the more she wants to get to know him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jordan knows falling for an employee is a bad idea, but Allie pushes buttons he never realized he had. Even though Allie desperately needs her job, she soon decides being with Jordan is more important. Will they be able to compromise, or will she let her chance at love pass her by for the sake of a paycheck?</div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Review: </span></b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I went into this book solely based on the synopsis, not
realizing that it’s technically book #6 of the Illusion series. After doing
some research, I learned that this can be read as a standalone. I definitely
agree with that, but I do think it will add more to the story if you knew the
backgrounds of the other characters. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This story is about the character of Jordan. I don’t know
how much we know about him in past books, but right off the back we learn that
his entire immediate family was murdered by his father and he is the sole
survivor. Thank god for his aunt, uncle, and cousins who through the years have
become his parents and siblings. Sadly, Jordan still suffers from nightmares
and issues from the ordeal. Due to this, he doesn’t open up to many people and
stays away from relationships. I also loved the fact that he was bisexual. I
feel like we don’t see men being comfortable enough with their bisexuality in
stories, and it was refreshing to see this in Jordan. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I really enjoyed Allie’s character. I loved watching her
being open with Jordan, and allowing Jordan the safe space to open up to her. I
enjoyed seeing their connection grow into something more, and I loved the last
few chapters! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. It definitely broke my
heart at parts, but I loved the connections. Not just between Allie and Jordan,
but between Jordan and his family. I definitely want to check out the other
books in the series. <o:p></o:p></div>

<strong>
Book Blurb:</strong></h2>
He’s known as Father Anton to his teammates—the brooding, sexy captain of the NHL’s Chicago Blaze has a reputation for…not having a reputation. Just like his diet and sleep routines, celibacy is part of Anton Petrov’s on-ice mojo. Or so they say. Anton stays mum on the subject. If the world thinks he chooses to abstain from sex, so be it. Better that than the truth getting out: there is a woman he burns for, but he can never have her. She’s his teammate’s wife, after all.
Mia Marceau is finally on her own. Now that she and her husband are living apart, she’s finding the peace she was desperate for. She spends her days in classes and late nights bartending, making her own way in the world at last. After what she’s been through, as long as her husband leaves her alone, she doesn’t plan to rock the boat. He still has the power to hurt those dearest to her, and she can’t demand a divorce with such a high cost.
A chance encounter with Mia has Anton hoping for a shot he never thought he’d get. And while she’s drawn to the intense, serious hockey center, Mia’s leery about playing with fire. That’s all Anton has ever known for Mia, though—a living, burning desire that won’t be denied—no matter the cost.

loves his parents (who he provides for in Russia), his adopted family in
America, his twin brother, and his friends. He was so sweet and I loved seeing
him interact with his brother and his nieces and nephews. He’s the captain of
the Chicago Blaze Hockey team and takes his training seriously. My favorite
part of his was when he was taking care of his Uncle Dix. I couldn’t help but
laugh when the two of them were together. He also has one vice. He’s been in
love with his teammates wife for two years. </span><br />

she has to do to take care of her grandfather and get divorced from her

<strong> Book Blurb:</strong></h2>
<i><b>Imogen</b> </i>
There is no way we can still love and cherish one and other.
When I married Theo Walsh, the rough, bearded townie who worked construction on my family’s summer house, I’d found my happily ever after.
That was before the fighting.
Before the jealousy.
Before the infertility.
We’ll be divorced long before death does us part.
But to secure my place in the family dynasty, there is just one more hoop I have to jump through. And I need him to do it.
Faking the marriage we once thrived in will gut me.
Especially with the secret I’m carrying.
<i><b>Theo</b> </i>
I would have sacrificed for her until the end of time.
My job.
My home.
My happiness.
I’d given it all up to marry her. That’s how much I loved Imogen Weston, the daughter to one of the world’s richest families.
From the day we met, I’d done nothing but try to live up to the man she expected to be with. And now, I was done.
Sure, I’d complete this one final ask of hers, even if it destroyed me.
But I’ve made her promise the one thing that might save me. She swore that after she got everything she ever wanted, she wouldn’t look back.
I made my wife vow to leave me forever.

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>My Review:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
This was the first book that I have read by Carrie Aarons
and I really enjoyed the story that she has written. Imogen and Theo were
beautifully in love. Despite her parents and their completely different
backgrounds, the two of them were happy. When we meet them though, they are
about to get a divorce. Imogen is the one that wants it and Theo is devastated.
Due to her horrible parents, Imogen and Theo are forced to pretend they are
married for a few months before they can finalize the divorce. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Imogen was horrible. I really did not like her character for
most of the story. She was selfish and let people walk all over her. Theo was
someone special. He was so selfless and allowed himself to be hurt to help
Imogen. Even though I wasn’t a fan of Imogen until about half way through, I
loved her and Theo together. They made me believe in true love. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Even though the story was predictable, I really enjoyed it.
It was a perfect story to curl up with on a cold evening. I am looking forward
to reading more books from Ms. Aarons! <o:p></o:p></div>

<strong>ABOUT THE BOOK: </strong></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
As the Sheriff of Malus, Texas, JW takes his oath to protect its citizens very seriously. Born from a ugly past, he swears no child, woman, or man will ever endure what he and his brothers have. As he seeks retribution of the ones who wronged him, his past and his present finally collide. Secrets are laid open. Ones that are so heinous, they’ll rock the very foundation of JW’s life.</h3>
<h3>
When Eden blazes into town, hot with her own threatening troubles baring down on her, JW steps in as her protector. It’s not only his duty, but a need he can’t ignore. The chemistry between the two is instant and all too tempting.</h3>
<h3>
Giving in was easy, but the consequences were high.</h3>
<h3>
Little does JW know, the disturbing destruction that would rain down on Malus and its people by getting involved with the red-headed gypsy.</h3>
<h3>
Danger lurks just around the corner—it’s dark, terrifying, and malicious.</h3>
<h3>
JW is bitter because of his gruesome past. Eden is sweet despite hers. Together, will they create a beautiful future, or will it all end in bitter sweet hell?</h3>

<strong>My Review:</strong></h2>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let me just start by saying how much I love this series! The
first book, <i>Trouble in Hell</i>
introduces us to four men who have lived in a hell like situation, but grew up
to vow to never let anything like that happen again. They take care of the
people around them and the town that they live in. I definitely recommend
reading the first book before embarking on <i>Bitter
Sweet Hell</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This story focuses on JW, the Sheriff of Malus, TX. He makes
sure that everyone is following the laws of their town, but he and his three
brothers, Trouble (his story can be read in <i>Trouble
in Hell</i>), Judge and Emo also make sure that no one is abusive or getting
hurt in anyway. The four of them are also trying to hunt down anyone from their
past. This story was just as emotional as the first one, and the plot twist
regarding JW and his family I had not seen coming. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Malus is a town that likes to keep out outsiders, but when
JW pulls over Eden for speeding through their town lines, he knows he needs to
help her. Eden is escaping an ex-boyfriend who has murdered women before, and
is now after her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I really loved these two characters together. They had a
beautiful bond and I enjoyed seeing the closed off JW open up to Eden. I also
loved being back into the world of the four brothers and we even learned more
about Emo, which I am so happy about it!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Hell Night series are not for the faint of heart. They
deal with some horrible themes such as rape, murder, child sexual abuse.
Despite that, they are also about healing, helping and overcoming. I love this
series and I cannot wait for Judge’s story, which releases in April (Thank god
I don’t have to wait a whole year for each book! I don’t know what I would do
with myself!)<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: black;">My family believe I can’t be happy if I’m not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name.</span>
<span style="color: black;"><i>I really should’ve asked for his name.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Lennon</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Word of advice: learn how to introduce yourself properly.</span>
<span style="color: black;">In my defense, I don’t recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I’m not supposed to see him again, and he’s never supposed to find out I’m a reporter.</span>
<span style="color: black;">That all changes when my editor reassigns me.</span>
<span style="color: black;">It’s a lesson I should’ve learned by now. Nothing’s changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret.</span>

</u></span></b><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I had not heard anything about this
series before, but as soon as I saw the cover for <i>Deke</i>, I knew I
had to read it. I loved it so much! Even though it is book 3 of the Fake Out
series, I didn’t feel confused about anything and I definitely will be reading
the first two books in the series. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Deke </span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">focuses on Ollie, an out and proud hockey
player to his family and best friends, but in the closet to the NHL and the
rest of the world. He doesn’t want to be the first gay man out in Hockey, even
though his family is pushing him to be an example to others who haven’t come
out yet. Lennon is a sports journalist who meets Ollie in the bathroom while
Ollie was out with his family and pretends to be his boyfriend. The two don’t
see each other again until 6 months later and that is when the magic really
happens! <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><span style="font-size: large;">OMG, I loved these two characters. Ollie
and Lennon were so cute together. I loved the jock and nerd aspect. I seriously
could not get enough. Both were written very well and the story overall was
sweet, funny and just adorable. Have you ever wanted to hug a book? I
definitely hugged my kindle a few times while reading! I loved that Lennon knew
Ollie’s secret, but never used it against him in his articles. The fact that he
didn’t tell the world that Ollie is gay showed a lot about his character and I
really loved that about him. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I also loved all the secondary
characters, including Ollie’s family. They were so amazing and real. They had
their issues, but it wasn’t written fake or forced. And that scene at Ollie’s
home with Lennon? I was DYING! <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Overall, <i>Deke</i> was such a
sweet story and I highly recommend it. It was everything I could have wanted in
an M/M story. </span></b><u style="color: black; font-size: x-large;"><o:p></o:p></u></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">Eden Finley is an Amazon bestselling author who writes steamy contemporary romances that are full of snark and light-hearted fluff. </span></div>
<span style="color: black;">She doesn’t take anything too seriously and lives to create an escape from real life for her readers. The ideas always begin with a wackadoodle premise, and she does her best to turn them into romances with heart.</span>
<span style="color: black;">With a short attention span that rivals her five-year-old son's, she writes multiple different pairings: MM, MMF, and MF. </span>
<span style="color: black;">She's also an Australian girl and apologises for her Australianisms that sometimes don't make sense to anyone else.</span>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If this is your first
Melissa Foster book, please note that Finding My Girl / Loving Talia is not a
novel, a novella, or even a typical short story. It is a companion booklet to
the full-length contemporary romance novel, Love Like Ours, featuring Talia
Dalton and Derek Grant. In Love Like Ours, one of the many ways Derek shows his
love for Talia is through cute and loving sketches depicting their lives as
they came together. Finding My Girl / Loving Talia is a collection of those
images, along with a couple of images that Jonah, Derek's father, had drawn for
his wife, Eva. Within these pages you will also find heartfelt messages from
Derek to Talia that are not found in the original novel. As a bonus, I have
included the first chapter of Love Like Ours in the back of the booklet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

visual adaptation of Derek and Talia's journey into coupledom. To read their
full-length love story, please buy Love Like Ours, a Sugar Lake novel
(available in digital, paperback, and audio formats).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Guys! GUYS! This companion novel was everything. It made me laugh,
kept a smile on my face the entire time and brought tears to my eyes. My only
complaint was I wish it were longer!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Throughout the novel,<i>
Love Like Ours</i>, Derek Grant creates a book of words and drawings for Talia
Dalton. These drawings signify meaningful parts of their story and how the two
characters get together. We get descriptions of the drawings, but we don’t get
to see them. NOW WE DO! <i>Finding My Girl</i>
are all those drawings and I loved every single moment of it. The drawings were
beautiful and adorable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now I don’t recommend picking this companion story up unless
you have read <i>Love Like Ours</i>. While
you can still enjoy the drawings, they will not mean as much to you. Pick up <i>Love Like Ours</i> from Kindle Unlimited,
devour it as I did (the story is absolutely amazing!) and then pick this one
up. You will not be disappointed!! </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b>My Review:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Melissa Collins is one of my “1-click” authors whenever she
releases a new book, and most of the time I don’t even know what it’s about,
but I know I am going to love it! When I had the opportunity to review <i>Who We Were </i>I knew I had to take it. I
really enjoyed this story. It was a fast read and while the characters broke my
heart over and over again, there was a happy ending for these sweet, sweet
boys. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The story begins when the two main characters, Ryan and
Quinn are thirteen years old. Quinn helps Ryan out, and for the next five
years, Ryan hates him for it. They don’t talk again until they are eighteen and
are forced to work together in wielding class. Ryan is a loner that keeps to
himself and Quinn desperately wants to get to know him. The two of them start a
friendship, which is just what Ryan needs. For the first time in his life, he
feels safe and wanted. His parents are crappy to him, his brother is physically
abusive to him, and their parents never stop it. Ryan’s home life is very sad. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Quinn has the complete opposite life. His parents are supportive and kind and
his twin sister is his best friend. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ryan’s life goes through many changes and the two boys won’t
see each other again until twelve years later. I loved these two as boys, but
as men! Man oh man. So many sexy and sweet times. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My one complaint is the secret that Ryan finds out. I was
interested in the secret and I could not wait to find out what it was. I
definitely was not expecting it, but the whole thing was just too far-fetched
for me. His parents, concerning the secret, and their personality towards Ryan
after telling him the secret seemed unrealistic to me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, I really enjoyed <i>Who We Were</i>. I loved the characters and the writing and I
definitely cannot want to read Melissa Collin’s next book! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #222222;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As soon as I saw the synopsis for <i>Trouble in Hell</i>, I knew that I had to get my hands on it as soon as
possible. This was such a gritty, emotional, heartbreaking, rise you up from
the ashes story and I had a hard time putting it down. I was even more upset
when it was over, and I already can’t wait for the next story, which releases
in January!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The story begins 23 years ago, and we are introduced to
Trouble and his brothers, JD, Judge and Emo. We know something bad is going on,
but we don’t learn how truly bad it is until later in the story. 23 years later
and Trouble is the local doctor in his small town of Malus, TX. This is the
town that he had escaped from, but his brothers and himself have come back to
rid the town of any evils and help anyone who needs it. We also meet Remi who
is escaping pain from her recent past. Pregnant and driving a car with no AC in
the middle of Texas has finally got to her. She stops in Malus and passes out,
waking up in the office of Dr. Trouble Trayce. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This story guys. <i>This
story</i>. It will completely pull at your heartstrings, barely putting your
heart back together and I loved every second of it. The characters were
extremely well written, even the secondary characters. I needed to know every
ones back story, and boy, is it hard to read. What Trouble, his brothers, and
even members of the town went through is absolutely terrifying and devastating.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I loved Trouble and
Remi together. They had a beautiful connection and I enjoyed seeing Trouble
open up to her about his past. Remi’s secret was also something that I had not
been expecting and also killed me. GAHHH this book. It was beautiful and sad,
and everything I could want in a story. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am so looking forward to the other stories. I know that
JD’s story is next. I have a feeling Judge will be after, and Emo last. I just
hope Emo gets a book, because I am so intrigued by his story. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I seriously recommend this book. I can not say enough good
things about this story! <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Alex Grayson is the bestselling author of heart pounding, emotionally gripping contemporary romances including the Jaded Series, the Consumed Series, and three standalone novels. Her passion for books was reignited by a gift from her sister-in-law. After spending several years as a devoted reader and blogger, Alex decided to write and independently publish her first novel in 2014 (an endeavor that took a little longer than expected). The rest, as they say, is history.</span></div>

<div class="m_8731539645127902002MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">At the age of sixteen, Natalya Goncharova is stunningly beautiful and intellectually curious. But while she finds joy in French translations and a history of Russian poetry, her family is more concerned with her marriage prospects. It is only fitting that during the Christmas of 1828 at her first public ball in her hometown of Moscow she attracts the romantic attention of Russia’s most lauded rebel poet: Alexander Pushkin.<br /><br />Enchanted at first sight, Natalya is already a devoted reader of Alexander’s serialized novel in verse, <i>Evgeny Onegin. </i>The most recently published chapter ends in a duel, and she is dying to learn what happens next. Finding herself deeply attracted to Alexander’s intensity and <i>joie de vivre</i>, Natalya hopes to see him again as soon as possible.<br /><br />What follows is a courtship and later marriage full of equal parts passion and domestic bliss but also destructive jealousies. When vicious court gossip leads to Alexander dying from injuries earned defending his honor as well as Natalya’s in a duel, Natalya finds herself reviled for her alleged role in his death. With beautiful writing and understanding, Jennifer Laam, and her compelling new novel, <i>The Lost Season of Love and Snow,</i> help Natalya tell her side of the story—the story of her greatest love and her inner struggle to create a fulfilling life despite the dangerous intrigues of a glamorous imperial Court.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Everything from the very beginning of this story captivated
me! The cover was the first thing to attract me. The soft colors, the beautiful
dress and St. Basil’s Cathedral in the window. Then the synopsis completely
hooked me with tales of love, honor, and the beautiful setting of Russia.
Overall, I was very happy with this book and would highly recommend it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The story follows the real life romance of Natalya
Goncharova and famous poet Alexander Pushkin through her eyes. The story begins
with his death and then goes back in time when Natalie is 16 and is meeting
Alexander for the first time. Don’t worry, his death isn’t a spoiler. It is
public knowledge how he died, and it is in the synopsis! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I really enjoyed following their love story and I thought
Natalie was a very relatable character. In the beginning of the story, she is a
young 16-year-old girl. Her mother expects her to act like a lady and find a
husband with money, but she would rather read, write and marry for love. I
thought she was a great character, and knowing she was an actual real person,
made her even better! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I usually don’t read and enjoy historical fiction books,
which is weird because I am a history teacher, but again, I really enjoyed this
one! I am happy that I discovered a new author and I am excited to read more
from her! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>My Review:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was really excited to get a copy of this book! I loved Selene Castrovilla other stories, <i>Melt</i> and <i>Saved By the Music </i>so I went into this book with high hopes! I am happy to say that I was not disappointed. I loved the writing and the characters and I definitely recommend this story!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Right off the bat I felt connected to Luna. Luna grew up in an Italian family on Long Island and I am also from an Italian family who grew up on Long Island. I don't get to read many stories that take place on Long Island, so I was very excited to find out that this story did! Luna is in her late 30's and has two little boys. She was very realistic. She loves her children and her family, but she also loves to have fun. I loved reading her being a mom, and I also loved how she could have a life away from her sons. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The most interesting and original part of this book was the STATS on each character. I loved it! It was a really cool way to introduce the characters and tell the reader a bit of information about them. I don't think I have seen that in a book before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. A single mother trying to find herself and fall in love is something that many people can relate too. <i>Luna Rising </i>is a well written, original, funny story and I definitely think that you should read it! </div>
