Sutton and David.

Finally.

And, yet, at the same time, we had to wait for their story. By this point in the series, or if you have read the synopsis, you know this book takes place a year after the death of Sutton's husband, Maverick.

So, there's a backstory and a history there. And it's present as part of the story. It's not ignored, it's not treated as something that didn't happen... and that makes it more appealing, more real, more heartbreaking and more emotional. In a good way, but also in a way that makes this one a very emotional read.

And, that cliffhanger. I saw it coming, sort of. But I loved it...I loved that the tension is external and also involving the family as, really, at the core of the story is the Wright family.

I enjoyed this title and I look forward to the conclusion.






The Wright One -- May 29th A new sexy contemporary romance duet from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde… Secrets swarm all around. My world is crumbling under the strain. I don’t know if we can survive this. My heart is in the Wright place. But is his? The Wright One is the last book in the Wright Love Duet that began in The Wright Love. Find out if Sutton and David survive their world of secrets in the conclusion to the Wright Love duet!

BREATHE BY CARLY PHILLIPS-BLOG TOUR


Breathe, an all-new second chance romance from Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips is LIVE!


Fall in love with the Wards…

From troubled teen to successful general contractor, Jake Nichols turned his life around from his time in foster care. Divorced and single, he juggles his time between his daughter and his work. Next on his agenda, a new project that is his chance to prove his worth at the job he loves. Except he never anticipates that the only girl he's ever loved and lost as a teen is now a grown and beautiful woman in charge of the project.

Phoebe Ward has survived and conquered a painful past that includes foster care and becoming a teenaged mom. She wants nothing more than to focus on the present but it’s hard when she looks into the eyes of her son, knowing she’s tried and failed to find his father. She’s resigned herself to raising him alone with the help of her family… Until a client meeting brings her face to face with her first love. A boy… now a sexy man she thought she’d never see again … and the father of her child.

So many years have gone by and both of their lives have changed drastically. Will they be able to put the past behind them and find the second chance they both deserve?

A Standalone Novel


I'm a fan of Carly Phillips writing and have been for years. The blurb of this book really caught my eye. I'm not a huge secret baby trope fan, but I do love second chance romance. So I dived in as soon as I could.

I really liked Phoebe. She had a tough start for sure, but once she found her place she flourished. I thought she was strong and smart. I like, and understood, her protective nature and I loved how she stands up for others. She's someone I could respect and like.

Jake was not quite what I expected-but I really liked him! He has a tough past as well, and honestly is just trying to hold it all together and balance everything now. Seeing Phoebe after all this time throws just another thing into his mix....but in a good way. I liked how he overcame his struggles and was his own man.

These two already had a history and I liked them finding their way back to one another. There wasn't the drama that you would expect there, and I liked that. They felt authentic and very realistic to me. They just worked.

There was a bit of drama involving another character, and I didn't feel that was necessary. It was a bit predictable and I just didn't love it. But otherwise, the writing was good and the pacing worked.

Carly Phillips continues to be an author that I truly enjoy. I know when I pick up her books I can escape the real world for a bit and just enjoy the story. Overall, I enjoyed this title and would recommend it.



Secret baby books usually have the issue of the anger, of the hidden baby, of the reasons that there was a hidden baby in the first place. I liked that this one didn't have that...Jake and Phoebe were together, the reason they were apart was out of their control, and there were additional forces acting to keep them apart...but, not of their doing.

This made it feel different, and engaging, and like a story about people who were getting a second chance at a relationship, after life had taken things from them, and then given them back different things.

The both have a past, they have things they are not proud of and things that they see as their successes, and watching 2 people who loved one another years ago work to put things back together was enjoyable. There were places where I wanted a little more depth, and places where I thought the solution was a little too simple.

I did enjoy this title overall.




“Are you my guardian?” she quipped, trying to keep things light as she tipped her head slightly, studying his tight, serious expression. “I want to be.” His voice was serious as hell. His tone rubbed her in the most intimate way, her body swaying toward him. “Jake.” He reached out a hand to cup her face, his calloused fingertips rough against her skin. So intense were his features, so erotic was his touch, his protectiveness cloaking her in heat. Her nipples even puckered into tight points of need. “If I had my way, nobody would be able to take advantage of you, because they’d have to go through me in order to get to you.” Her face warmed at his words. “That’s sweet of you to say.” “I’m not feeling very sweet. In fact, I’m feeling pretty damned protective.” He was, and she liked it. A lot. His fingers skimmed her cheek as he spoke. “I was lucky enough to find you again. I want a chance to see what could be between us,” he said, taking her off guard. But God, she wanted that, too. Despite her brain telling her they needed to tread carefully, that they had a little boy to protect, her traitorous heart still wanted more. His blue gaze bored into hers, causing her heart to pound hard in her chest. “I know things are complicated right now, but how many people get second chances?” “Not many,” she agreed, knowing how lucky they were. “So wouldn’t we be foolish to waste the opportunity?”

GOOD GIRL BY JANA ASTON - ARC REVIEW


I’ve always been a good girl.
I work hard, I follow the rules, and I always achieve my goals.

But sometimes good girls want things that aren’t good for them.
Or someone who isn’t good for them.
Like their new boss.

And sometimes they do very bad things to get his attention.
Like sell their virginity in an auction.

Who knew he’d be so very, very mad.

 Maybe this was not my best laid plan…




Rhys and Lydia are hilarious.  Well, really, Lydia is hilarious.  The things she thinks, the things she says...and the reactions he gives her made me laugh...the entire way through the book.

Somehow, this is my first title by Jana Aston.  Nope, not sure how that happened, I am really not.  But, I am glad I finally read her.  This book was funny, it was charming, it was steamy and the sex, OMG the sex in this one...well, it's something else.

I laughed.  I related to the characters, I enjoyed them and the writing style enough to not want to put this one down and to be sad to see it end.

There's not a lot I can say about this book in this review, as the joy of this one really is in reading it, in being inside Lydia's head as she makes pajamas out of sheets and convinces you that maybe, just maybe, the iced coffee from Del Taco might actually be good.

I enjoyed the heck out of this one, and I recommend it.






He pulls me to my feet and he kisses me and he tastes like me and it's dirty and shocking and sorta oddly thrilling and primal. He unsnaps my bra. The straps slip down my arms until it falls to the floor and then I'm naked. I'm naked with Rhys. This is the best day of my life. Except he's not naked.

"You're still dressed. Am I supposed to"—I gesture to his shirt—"am I supposed to or are you supposed to? Or do you like to keep your clothes on when you have sex?"

He laughs, his eyes dancing in amusement as he unbuttons his shirt and shrugs it off. "No, I'm not going to fuck you with my clothes on, Lydia."

“Oh, thank goodness. I've really been wanting to see you naked. For a long time. Like weeks. Since the bar. The first time at the bar, not the second time. Can I take off your pants?" My fingers hover at his waistband, poised to unbutton and unzip but needing the nudge of permission.

"Please," he says and then my fingers are in motion, unbuckling, unbuttoning, unzipping. It's harder to do this in reverse, removing someone else's pants instead of your own, but I manage. I'd manage even if it was a thousand-piece puzzle instead of just a zipper and a button because I want his pants off pretty badly.

When I've got the pants undone they drop to the floor and then the only thing separating me from sex is a pair of briefs, so I make short work of those.

He's beautiful. Head to toe. I could spend all night looking at him, all month, forever. But I don't have forever or even all night since Rhys is worried about his schedule so I take in as much as I can as fast as I can. Because oh, holy crap, I know what Rhys Dalton looks like naked. The smattering of hair across his chest. His toned abs and flat stomach and the trail of hair from his belly button to his cock. The birthmark on his left hip and the definition of the lines that form on his abs. I send a silent prayer to baby Jesus that I'll get a good look at his butt before this is over because I need to know exactly what it looks like under those suit pants. Then too soon, he's moving me onto the bed because this is it. This is the sex.





ABSINTHE OF THE HEART BY MONICA JAMES - ARC REVIEW AND RELEASE BLITZ

Two households, unlike in dignity, in the City of Angels is where we lay our scene...

London Sinclair was the boy my mother warned me about for as long as I can remember. His name alone has brought my family nothing but shame and suffering, so it’s no surprise we’ve been sworn enemies since the first moment we met.

With his bedroom eyes and cocky smile, he has all the girls under his spell. I have one more year of school left, and then I’m home free because I’m guarding a secret, one I’m ashamed to keep.

The boy who is completely off-limits is the one who drives me, Holland Brooks, wild. I want London, and I think…he wants me, too.

Some may compare it to a Shakespearian tragedy, as our surnames have fated our future, but when a single night changes my life forever, I can’t leave the City of Angels fast enough.

Ten years later, I have atoned for my sins and return to Los Angeles a changed woman. I’ve come home to get married. But the moment London walks back into my life, one thing is clear. Ten years can’t undo that night—that single, sinful night when I gave into temptation—because I want to do it again. 


GAH!! Such a place for a cliffhanger.  You see it coming, the way the story unfolds you suspect...but at the same time, it is such a shock that it actually ended here, and that the author took the characters to this point before telling us it is to be continued.

Landon and Holland were enemies, and then they were lovers and then they were nothing as life moves on and they grow past high school and the slings and arrows of adolescence and family obligations and expectations.  The passion and the attraction they have for one another is, I think, partly fueled by the forbidden of the relationship between them and the family feud that extends from their parents to them.

A lot of the story is their backstory, the things that happen to get them to where they are now, and the things that happen to lead the characters around them to where they are as well.

This is one of those books, however, that can easily be spoiled with too much info about the plot in the review, and that would ruin it for everyone...so I am going to leave this here and I am going to say that I enjoyed this, and I am looking forward to the next in the duet...and I can't wait to see where it goes next!

I recommend this title.

WORTH THE RISK BY K. BROMBERG-RELEASE BLITZ


“Bromberg is a master at turning up the heat.”
—New York Times bestselling author Katy Evans

Worth the Risk, an all-new, sexy standalone about taking chances and finding love when it’s least expected, from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg, is LIVE!


Synopsis 

This whole contest was supposed to be easy. I know, I know. Famous last words. It’s a long story, but I messed up at work. Big time. To earn back the trust of my boss, I promised to save one of our magazines. Yep. That Hot Dad contest you’ve seen advertised all over the place was my idea. And if I’m successful, if I’m able to increase our online readership, then I get a shot at my dream job. But the one thing I never expected to happen, happened: Contestant number ten, Grayson Malone. Hello, Mr. Difficult. And did I mention sexy as hell? Unfortunately he knows me. The old me, anyway. And while we might be older now, I remind him of before. Of the woman who broke his heart, who hardened him, and who left him alone to raise the cutest little boy I’ve ever seen. But I don’t want a relationship. And I definitely don’t fall for single dads with baggage. Even ones with chiseled abs and killer smiles. But he got to me. They got to me. Him and his son and their messy, crazy life. But I got to him too. I see the stolen glances. I feel the walls he built start to crumble. I recognize that there’s an unexpected beauty to the chaos in his life. And now that the contest is about to end, we’re left to decide whether the last six months were just fun or if what we have is worth risking it all?
