Working as a bartender at Shenanigans, a bar close to Franklin University, there are beautiful men and women everywhere. When a hot guy falls into my arms at a party, I’m down for some naughty fun. Until I realize he’s way too drunk for anything to happen. Thankfully, we agree to meet up the next day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">One near kiss later, I discover Theo has no idea I’ve been hitting on him. He thinks we’re hanging out as buddies, and to my great regret, says he’s straight. How did I misread this situation when I thought he was giving me all the right signals?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Theo</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Perry thinks I’m a nine…a nine! Sure, I’m not into dudes, but it’s flattering that someone as attractive as him thinks I’m hot. Despite the confusion, Perry and I click and agree to keep hanging out. The more time I spend with him, the more I realize there’s a part of myself I’ve been ignoring. One that’s super bi and wants Perry as more than a friend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Trying to study with him makes things hard for me…below the belt. Unfortunately, his abandonment issues have him open to a fling and nothing more, while I’m catching feelings in a big way. Can I be satisfied with a hookup? Or should I find a way to convince him to take a chance on making this something real?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOJblxyBnf6A_84FtcXK4YwbJ9AJGVu4FBbHxv52oTJ_u0C5-66wQQBOa1afxLG0XRcCjrncVOLPvsuBKOtb5YKCPvB2zWfS1r1TMPhlV_gb61-ZqzZi8U-jW3uvKakDeFVhyak0uo-mwRiJcRkjgi9LLiHSJ2TTlocdnGDtJppQCGVt1pSwLgxpQDAeeq" style="margin-left: 1em;

Her primary focus is Male/Male romance but under various pen names, her prose has touched practically every part of the spectrum of love and relationships. The common theme that ties them all together is stories told from the heart.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">A hopeless romantic herself, Riley is a lover of character-driven plots, many with flawed and relatable characters. She strives to create stories that readers can not only fall in love with, but also see themselves in. Real characters and real love blended together equal the ultimate Riley Hart experience.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">When Riley isn't creating her next story, you can find her reading, traveling, or dreaming about reading or traveling, spending time with her two snarky kids, and swoony husband.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Riley Hart is represented by Jane Dystel at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret Literary Management.

Now, my kids are grown, and my marriage is toast. I'm solidly past forty and back in my tiny hometown of Mount Hope, Oregon, filling in as a firefighter. My future is one big question mark keeping me up at night.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Also keeping me up?

The former rock roadie runs from stability, never puts down roots, and lives for the moment. Point in case, we barely speak before he invites me into his shower.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've never been with a man, but my fresh start has me trying all sorts of new things—including Denver’s shower.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our future?

The more time we spend together, the deeper our friendship and bond grows. Our time together outside of the bedroom, reveals a caring side to the grumpy cook. Even better, my sunshine-y optimism softens him like butter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Should a fling give me these deep feelings?

Big decisions loom for both our futures, and our time together grows short. I might have Denver's heart, but his trust is far harder to win. He's the answer to all my question marks, and I need him to believe in us. Can I convince him to give our love a chance?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>UP ALL NIGHT features a grumpy/sunshine pairing for a forty-something firefighter on a path of self-discovery with an UP ALL NIGHT short-order cook.

He’s lived the life he thought he was supposed to live but now wants to be able to explore more sides of himself. He is also going from Captain to firefighter, helping his widowed friend with his children, and spending time with family. And he’s finding himself spending time at Honey’s Hotcake Hut, and visiting with the burly, handsome, overnight cook who he can't stop looking at. <br /><br />Denver Rucker is a rolling stone. He’s never really had a place to call home or people to rely on so he’s been living the life of a nomad. He is gay and does not hide it. His past has left marks on him and he guards his heart and does not let himself care too much about anyone or make plans.<br /><br />It’s supposed to be a one-night stand. But it’s also a night of bisexual awakening and exploration that Sean is determined to keep going. Denver knows it’s dangerous to get involved and risk getting hurt or hurting someone else. But their chemistry cannot be denied, and it turns into a fling and a lot of fun exploration. <br /><br />But along the way, they’re dealing with their own self-doubt, and fear of loss and the future, bur also discovering what it’s like to have someone on your side that you’re also passionate with. And the temptation to keep it going is real. But Denver believes in signs and it seems like the signs are telling him it might be time to move on. He’s not sure if he should believe them, or do the opposite of what he would normally do and actually take a risk on investing in someone and a community.<br /><br />I really liked these two together. Even though Denver is more worldly and experienced, Sean is now very sure about what he wants and not afraid to voice it. They’re able to challenge and give each other exactly what they need. But there’s a lot of fear and worry about loss, getting hurt, and not being good enough. <br /><br />This is a grumpy-sunshine, opposites-attract, bi-awakening romance with matue heroes and centered around a small town, first responders, and a tightknit group of friends and family. I am already invested in the side characters especially Sean's best friends Eric, Jonas, and Tony, as well as some of Emergency personnel. I am already intrigued by the teaser epilogue for the next couple. The teenage kids also added some humor and drama.</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGf2TqIXvdmMRivvYYbQ9pfwSqqQk8c3OXEmNu7l3yMGcEzggha_AxU38Y-FtBvOLomI1tMuKJ3zrc7o7fsYSzQ_8Nx40Ha0IOumkez7eaJs8KmVzovZ4V0skXvjjI2akr-lqPKoU6kf2dVy9wIngeZNG_ggTopFO9gVaOKc8KjQZNHGZ45ELSnnHywXb1/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Too much baggage.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">So when I find myself signing with Nashville and leaving everything behind, I’m hopeful a new start will cure me of my attachment problems.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">I fall fast and hard, and I’m quickly realizing it’s not so easy to escape my emotional damage. That follows no matter where I go.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">When my new teammate, rookie goalie Miles Olsen, attaches himself to my side, the media are excited to exploit our bromance. Little do they know, he’s doing me a favor by keeping me away from making mistakes with women.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">That’s the deal we made at the beginning of the season, but as time goes on, and we’re both going through a dry spell, Miles suggests a different arrangement. One I’ve never contemplated.

Hero worship? Me? Never!<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">He reminds me of my old frat buddies; loyal, kind, easy to trade banter with. But my dude is lost and trying to find himself again--without getting married this time.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">I want to help him, and while my suggestion might not be conventional, it sure as hell is effective. The only way to make sure he doesn't marry a woman again?

But her romantic or sex life has been more of a solo journey lately. She can't help herself if the hot bartender makes great eye candy and she can't help but flirt while waiting on a to-go order. Or that he inspired some fantasies. She never expected him to find out. But an unexpected set of circumstances sends him right into her own shop. <br /><br />Gage Archer usually does not pick up women in the bar he owns. He is smart, responsible, and tries to avoid drama. He is raising his eleven-year-old daughter who is his priority so romance has not been on his agenda. But there is something about Elodie that makes him bend his rules. And when an opportunity presents itself, he just has to do what needs to be done. <br /><br />They embark on an unexpected adventure from the almost perfect first date, to a brilliant business idea, to pretending for a good cause. They have such great rapport and chemistry. And they have so much in common in regards to being single parents and business owners and having to deal with all the chaos of life. Rules are supposed to keep their business partnership safe, but resistance is hard. <br /><br />This is a witty, wonderful, heartwarming, passionate romance all mixed up with business and pleasure and family and special edition situations. They are in a unique place to help the other's dreams come true even if it is unconventional and is supposed to only be a short time commitment. But they have challenges and obstacles to navigate and plenty of people are interested in their relationship. And sometimes life just does not go quite as planned.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: "Google Sans", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; text-align: left;" /></span><div><span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.2px; text-align: left;">I absolutely loved these two and was totally engaged in their story. Gage is responsible, determined, and thoughtful, but also passionate, protective, and possessive. Gotta love it when a guy cares enough to get growly possessive. For someone not sure about love, Gage is a completely swoon-worthy hero with creative and thoughtful ideas. I fell so hard for him and he has become one of my fave LB heroes. <br /><br />Elodie is sassy, spunky, sweet, and just wants to be the best mom and find big love. They were a refreshing couple because they acted maturely, talked to one another, and appreciated and supported each other. Sure they had issues both individually from their pasts and present, and they had some things that they were facing together. <br /></span><span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.2px; text-align: left;"><br />Their chemistry is amazing. Their banter is strong. The back stories have depth and have really shaped them and affected their lives and thought processes. They are generally good, caring people just trying to do right by everyone even if they have to sacrifice themselves. And they both grow so much individually and together. They gradually start to find hope and maybe a promise that they can have more than they thought was possible.

They are a big part of the story and provide humor and support as needed. There are also plenty of fun cameos from the LB universe, but this can easily be read as a stand-alone.

This was the perfect combo of sweet and spicy as they navigate what was real and what was fake in their hasty public relationship.</div></span><span><span><div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEChp3dc1H4LHJoPVpAsa8qRcKnftLZvOiV4wFuf-LDTB7IISvYPxB5OOnViFhWobLci7Qu5OSmCS71OAWshZzP-L-kWofdr5q8MjqaJ7lpTpAEP3Tklz60N4A-WMcQJVWe_JX56yN0jl0GCaAVXYIrt0QfBxNqQmN7kUmsBbKD7UoEiG8cd6jgIdU4t4Y/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

But he’s the second son, and the one that never can seem to prove himself. He has many failed career attempts, and he is seen as unreliable, untrustworthy and undisciplined. He’s found his niche in social media and management but still, no one really takes him seriously. He’s also charming, snarky, smart, and thinks well in a crisis</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Thatcher Pennington is a successful, intimidating, billionaire CEO. He’s a workaholic, and that’s his safe place because he has some family dynamic issues of his own and avoids personal relationships. He’s big, intimidating, cool, and thrives on control and order.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Reagan works for Thatcher's company in a beginner PR position, but now these two are stuck in close quarters while trying to deal with the company's social media crisis. But the small space just intensifies their chemistry and makes everything harder to resist even though they both know there are plenty of reasons to.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">This is an age-gap, boss-employee, son's old friend – father’s friend, forced-proximity, opposites-attract, failed one-night stand turned a bit messy romance;.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">It's about unexpectedly finding that person who can see under their well-crafted veneers down to the real vulnerable person underneath and can see their full potential. Most people never took Reagan seriously and just thought of him as a pretty face who could charm anyone. Thatcher sees his potential, talent, intelligence, and his skills with people and online. Thatcher has always thought there was something wrong with him that makes him ruin relationships, but Reagan can appreciate how supportive, passionate, and protective he can be. <br /><br />They forge a bond in that tour bus that’s more than just based on the physical. But there are so many external factors,</span><span style="color: #222222;"> manipulation by others, w</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">orries about perception, fears and insecurities that cloud their vision of any kind of shared future. There’s miscommunication, avoidance, and self-doubt, but ultimately it comes down to that point when it's make or break.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br />I loved these two together. I thought they really balanced each other well and they really needed what the other provided to them and they thrived with it. They just had to get out of their own way and they had opportunities for growth. <br /><br />It brings back cameos from the first book, teases the next book, and even sets up a couple that has a little bonus short story. I loved McGee and was glad that was included. I liked this book better than the first of this series, and now I’m getting more invested in this town and group of characters</span></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGDUWPeqJHVNjEE5ArcVxxU8Mi2RogCi-kzhyxuPIURMOAVJGxaD01qqFq5Xqz18el5rOAOhqUWA30GS7mKYmjYo4GCzPgYL7jBSrT6JlkDtBOd7gnwqFpiqbxxnoYwsqMHxvJ9xjyWv5bnfuoszwe5eOlq72pBUbDGV8CWKb9u_uZRV6DtPc4_2QV_Ex/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Because I’m not the kid I used to be, either. And because, if the two of us can survive a long, hot summer filled with his family’s crazy antics and my mother’s single-handed determination to keep the Wellbridge-Honeycutt feud alive, there might just be a chance for both of us to get what we want:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />A new dream.<br />The fulfillment of an old town legend.<br /><i>And another chance to spark Firecracker to life.</i></span></div><p style="direction: ltr;

Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lucy hopes you enjoy sexy heroes as much as she does.

It's been a hot minute since I've stepped out of my comfort zone and dived into the world of depravity and pitch black.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">HOSS (Hills of Shivers and Shadows) took me on a journey I wasn't anywhere close to expecting. I don't have many triggers, so I didn't read the two levels (general and more in depth) of warnings the author gave, just went in blind based off the synopsis. For my own personal enjoyment, I'm glad I did. If you like your books morally corrupt and taboo, I suggest you too go in blind. If you don't, trust me when I tell you, if you can't do demoralizing, immoral, perverse, and downright evil, this is not the book for you. <b>Heed my warning above-PLEASE read the trigger warnings the author has provided.</b> Deep in the backwoods of Alaska, four guys will take you to places you could never ever imagine. I promise, Hell would be a prettier place. The atrocities committed between these pages go beyond what the normal mind can comprehend and accept. It's what every true crime story is made of, and then some. Even your nightmares couldn't imagine this.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is truly nothing I can say to prepare you for the heinousness ride you're about to take. Just know, nothing is off the table. Nothing is sacred. Godwin pulls out ALL of the stops. Don't go in comfortable because if you do, Godwin will rip that comfort out from under you right quick.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">HOSS is an intense, graphic detailed train wreck I couldn't my eyes away from. It left me questioning my own morality and character. My own psyche. It left me on a crazy train of emotions, which ran off the tracks quickly. It had me questioning if I really just read that... Yes. Yes, I did. If the author really just went there... Yes. Yes, she did. It had me questioning how such a story could captivate me and keep me glued to the horrifying events unfolding. How could I find enjoyment in such darkness. It had me questioning if I need therapy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All I can say is, to be in Pam Godwin's mind for just 5 minutes would be one hell of a wild ride.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On that note, thank you Ms. Godwin for creating this new obsession for me. And by obsession, I mean Kodiak. Lord. Have. Mercy. Let me say it again...LORD. HAVE. MERCY. I needed EVERYTHING Kody!! There was just something about him that hooked me from the moment he was introduced. I fell hard for his character. I connected the most with him. I think my heart may have short circuited a couple times during his scenes. The tears I shedded. The pain I felt. The fear I felt. The happiness I felt. All of these emotions were in overload, and had me on the edge of my seat, especially during two certain scenes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That's not to say I didn't enjoy Leo and Wolf. Because I did. They too drew some strong emotions from me, but the connection just wasn't as strong. I liked them with Frankie, but I didn't yearn for their scenes with her, like I did with Kody.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do know this book ends in a huge cliffy, one that will leave you gasping and on the edge for book 2. I NEED all the answers. Like what the fuck, Godwin?!! How could you do that to my heart?!!

He has his dream job and is successful in his career and has all the money he needs. But he is laser focused on work and does not do relationships since the choices he made years ago still haunt him. When he finds out that his mother is in the hospital, he ends up back in his hometown and walks right back into the periphery of the girl he left behind. And he realizes just how much his past choices ruined her life.<br /><br />Juniper is strong and smart, but was stuck in a bad situation due to trying to take care of her own family. She never really got over the heartbreak of losing Callum, but made it worse by being charmed by his step-brother who made her life miserable all of this time. She endured so much and my heart broke for her.<br /><br /></span>But now he’s going to make it right in any way he can. She appreciates his help, but she also has trust issues and unresolved feelings and pain. And he feels responsible and guilty for all she endured. But as they spend time together again, they also realize the things they have missed about each other. And Callum is a man who makes swift decisions under pressure and he has now decided that he wants to win her back.<br /><br />This is a second-chance romance with some difficult situations, drama, and suspense. It is about rediscovering trust, finding forgiveness, and healing. It is also inspiring as Juniper is given a chance at a different life and figure out what she ultimately wants for her future. She is resilient and a survivor who has endured so much. I loved seeing Callum be so protective and supportive and allow her the room to make her own choices as well. </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK5-Ae4JQPBmLSKP-68NQpOR7fAhAmkmqtNs5XWW1X6Hdc3xR65jyJboPZCVwWOo1DXEHxkPASeVojdzfFrs1Ma5ceb_aVETEeArdygdcKDd7WTxAF2BtXqFFh7doFIEnOMXc2uUoE2ncnWPsjEZx9_IcuPnNrzpRU4cmYdhhGwagupdTzQxG4VIeKfnN2/s225/nameRachelname.png" style="font-weight: 400; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="70" data-original-width="225" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK5-Ae4JQPBmLSKP-68NQpOR7fAhAmkmqtNs5XWW1X6Hdc3xR65jyJboPZCVwWOo1DXEHxkPASeVojdzfFrs1Ma5ceb_aVETEeArdygdcKDd7WTxAF2BtXqFFh7doFIEnOMXc2uUoE2ncnWPsjEZx9_IcuPnNrzpRU4cmYdhhGwagupdTzQxG4VIeKfnN2/s1600/nameRachelname.png" width="225" /></a><b style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiLya8hwjgdVqP7bTdCmZKUObBmDtkcHnZ5-7Kf6Ic2C0BGMNor4Uq9PG86cNOUkf8h6z_pwWIg-jeFX_b4Iuk7LTxrlJjUzYw2-wlkAjID02_MrtQsyIfeV_HaBeiZi4rj1UPPRb9BjpeT2ZKYb9pQQM1iWKVqALHC4QmmOTxj32vkNU38lhxynYnxhA/s150/starrating4half.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="150" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiLya8hwjgdVqP7bTdCmZKUObBmDtkcHnZ5-7Kf6Ic2C0BGMNor4Uq9PG86cNOUkf8h6z_pwWIg-jeFX_b4Iuk7LTxrlJjUzYw2-wlkAjID02_MrtQsyIfeV_HaBeiZi4rj1UPPRb9BjpeT2ZKYb9pQQM1iWKVqALHC4QmmOTxj32vkNU38lhxynYnxhA/s1600/starrating4half.png" width="150" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Callum Derringer has made managing hockey his singular focus since leaving home.

She hopes to hide the truth from Callum while he’s in town, but quickly realizes he still sees the parts of her that no one else does.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When Callum and Juniper return to Pittsburgh and begin the process of settling Juniper up independently, they realize the feelings between them were not permanently damaged by the hurt of their young split. But Callum also knows that Juni needs time to get on her feet and he won’t be the one to tie her to a dream that is not her own.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Though she doesn’t arrive in Pittsburgh as Callum’s girlfriend, the Titans family quickly adopts Juniper and wraps her up in their web. I love the way this found family welcomes new people in with open arms, makes them feel welcomed, and gives them validation and purpose without any effort whatsoever.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This story had several layers that kept the pages turning from start to finish. The second chance aspects had me rooting for Callum and Juni’s history from the beginning. There were some pretty dramatic twists that really ramped up the tension towards the second half of the story and I loved the way the twists renewed the interest for me.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOC2yvIJU9h49Wv32xTWAwrGQ2zrVm26y62apwArC7X2vAzOKjUYe6Dr_EOgH2qbW4jALMfuYjr7c83WBj7k-WfodZOwOY0OxtDDyEL6OCAvVGbEwwwqXXHXm6zGgucb1lk4KSfnI1m0c-lEC3oQ8Xav7k-Rcp_8qldbEbAARAWPTDHqsmpsPIIyDhWUWG/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="font-weight: 400;

Even more surprising is his immediate attraction to the father of one of his players—single dad Niall Harper.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Problem number one: Niall Harper isn’t gay.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Problem number two: Keller isn’t out to the world.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Problem number three: Niall hates his guts. And Keller has no idea why.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">High school librarian Niall Harper has always done the right thing. Except be true to himself. Divorced and raising his teenaged son, Niall is dismayed to discover the new football coach is none other than his long-ago Friday night fantasy and nemesis. Not that it matters—Keller doesn’t remember him. It’s nothing new; Niall has always been easy to forget. Now Keller wants to be friends. And more. Niall can’t deny the annoying man makes him laugh and feel things he’d only dreamed possible. But would a player like Keller be satisfied with a regular guy like him?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Being together is more than complicated, but they are willing to take the risk. Niall reveals he’s dating his son’s coach, and Keller comes out to the team, his fans, the press, and small-town gossips. Neither is prepared for the fallout, but that doesn’t stop them. It’s time to throw the Hail Mary pass of a lifetime and win the game of forever. And they’re ready.</span></div><span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiXBEyL7gJp5VJgqqcBYUp0w5uO8Vj2Xf2b2LfLN1HUERjEIriVKApsCDXoYdOv3EZkzbxsKmbsk-zRCABenU-zKZ94sVr36sflg0S8FYf2yTTnVHSKzD5UxbsFrLKvZ8nzqlU3jLnIMm_c9AFQf7F4KMSad-ve7ITieIWDqHY0MCxXUz0M4sCaHp_C06E" style="font-size: xx-large; font-weight: 700; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiXBEyL7gJp5VJgqqcBYUp0w5uO8Vj2Xf2b2LfLN1HUERjEIriVKApsCDXoYdOv3EZkzbxsKmbsk-zRCABenU-zKZ94sVr36sflg0S8FYf2yTTnVHSKzD5UxbsFrLKvZ8nzqlU3jLnIMm_c9AFQf7F4KMSad-ve7ITieIWDqHY0MCxXUz0M4sCaHp_C06E=w320-h320" width="320" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJBV80_hJNYNvKJ8yTpzldEj1kiWx966AnQZyiRe6iXhx4xR4CU3U5NzmrEqDFjFVXhVldg7PayDTCSzXzkf0zEaeZblDO5jLeYoVODqXJfDOIbBnhgfCXVgwzQGPfaZrvHrju6pfSOsnWi3WDMVRIoGJvNCCSrNH9eqlWxYmEPsobkaB2VSmupp4GZqrS" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1100" data-original-width="1315" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJBV80_hJNYNvKJ8yTpzldEj1kiWx966AnQZyiRe6iXhx4xR4CU3U5NzmrEqDFjFVXhVldg7PayDTCSzXzkf0zEaeZblDO5jLeYoVODqXJfDOIbBnhgfCXVgwzQGPfaZrvHrju6pfSOsnWi3WDMVRIoGJvNCCSrNH9eqlWxYmEPsobkaB2VSmupp4GZqrS=w320-h268" width="320" /></a></div></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbrIzW-_Q6e50U8aBL1yMP2OgMIRxbBSUwu6eRqvV7wozlI6H977EUrb3dt7TLhLmpbYioB3ndgQz_dU8zOpVbAjYNo8VVufdIZ8bx8jbkO9J2C2jS6AZO_cPZ4Eb0Zlq6XpuTF5QC5boVzqLtt2B1C4y4NbA-0WZHTnOIo7mJEkd-V5ORB5j03auLNujY/s225/nameKimname%20-%20Copy.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="70" data-original-width="225" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbrIzW-_Q6e50U8aBL1yMP2OgMIRxbBSUwu6eRqvV7wozlI6H977EUrb3dt7TLhLmpbYioB3ndgQz_dU8zOpVbAjYNo8VVufdIZ8bx8jbkO9J2C2jS6AZO_cPZ4Eb0Zlq6XpuTF5QC5boVzqLtt2B1C4y4NbA-0WZHTnOIo7mJEkd-V5ORB5j03auLNujY/s1600/nameKimname%20-%20Copy.png" width="225" /></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzxTaPphUyCpMODbUNRIFE_i9IpFIXlYN4UW7hq7Oxuz9UoxjWR2a0CUMSOaljK_54k_qwCHWEWFn_RSDH78TFcnrq0rEWXPy0gBRJkK08vJz3Cr54fAZpmOPcI9d6g0bVQTI2OAcnhRjPhfNdYCVoaiX2eKRLFcL8vGNFvy8B0F9pnpUOWUFQbM0HiIV/s150/starrating4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="150" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzxTaPphUyCpMODbUNRIFE_i9IpFIXlYN4UW7hq7Oxuz9UoxjWR2a0CUMSOaljK_54k_qwCHWEWFn_RSDH78TFcnrq0rEWXPy0gBRJkK08vJz3Cr54fAZpmOPcI9d6g0bVQTI2OAcnhRjPhfNdYCVoaiX2eKRLFcL8vGNFvy8B0F9pnpUOWUFQbM0HiIV/s1600/starrating4.png" width="150" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Retired NFL superstar Keller Williams is returning home to Overlook, NY to coach his former high school team. It is the beginning of a new quieter life and possibly a chance to finally live his life on his own terms. He is motivated to be an inspiration to his team and they in turn inspire him.</span></div><span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Niall Harper is the divorced father of one of his players and he does not seem to be a fan of Keller. He is still affected by how the football team treated him when he was in high school and it colors his judgment of Keller now. He is usually an unassuming librarian and substitute teacher and just trying to be the best father he can, but Keller shakes up his safe existence. He is used to putting his own needs on the back burner and has kept his desires secret. </span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">From antagonism, to friends, to secret lovers these guys find a connection they never expected and a reason to be their true selves and feel alive, passionate, accepted, and cared for. But there are others involved and small town and sports mentalities that they will have to face if there is any hope of them having any kind of real relationship together. </span></div></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I loved Keller and Niall together and how they brought out the best in each other and just wanted to be able to live their lives and be happy. And I enjoyed seeing how they supported the kids and team. But this is not a sweet and easy read and it also has uncomfortable moments and shows that there is still bigotry and discrimination in this world. But it also shows that youth are the hope for the future.</div><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCAUIkwSej6lLw0__Ccd1m9wgYPZnJbIHjzeI_7LrV1Hbt7PsO4TaJsuCqALmzTkyZNYElXPkCNDWXAVUitdCdEV-Rr_j3F9LFYyetj0DMcl1Hh4SLmHgaORNLU-FywJzdUYJn4Xmyhoqo5J4VRg38G2b-lLZOWvL8BU4vvb5O8XLWmDWLAxcOm3LW15sm/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="101" data-original-width="350" height="92" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCAUIkwSej6lLw0__Ccd1m9wgYPZnJbIHjzeI_7LrV1Hbt7PsO4TaJsuCqALmzTkyZNYElXPkCNDWXAVUitdCdEV-Rr_j3F9LFYyetj0DMcl1Hh4SLmHgaORNLU-FywJzdUYJn4Xmyhoqo5J4VRg38G2b-lLZOWvL8BU4vvb5O8XLWmDWLAxcOm3LW15sm/s320/namereviews.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVYTRRfp70QBJ7wLOrjKqquZLONdOu7GUQXRLwcvFmO4829NWDR16ENen74xJzLzGpAwtcGyGa1lvsDHZVK9nXKEpaNXc8cqTpVHnG82N0Ppxpnql-eTxVcgogFuuHFfg-i7kFKE0mHIysSJ5hF_dM3jTVg-fVj0RekN5N_chc0rxQpr9CqFUKL_DAvGH/s225/Author%20Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="64" data-original-width="225" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVYTRRfp70QBJ7wLOrjKqquZLONdOu7GUQXRLwcvFmO4829NWDR16ENen74xJzLzGpAwtcGyGa1lvsDHZVK9nXKEpaNXc8cqTpVHnG82N0Ppxpnql-eTxVcgogFuuHFfg-i7kFKE0mHIysSJ5hF_dM3jTVg-fVj0RekN5N_chc0rxQpr9CqFUKL_DAvGH/s1600/Author%20Header.png" width="225" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Felice Stevens</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="http://www.felicestevens.com/en">Website</a> | Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/felicestevensauthor/">Author</a> & <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1449289332021166/">Reader Group</a></b><b> | <a href="https://twitter.com/FeliceStevens1">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://caferisque.blogspot.com/?zx=e071df0101ec6c96">Blog</a></b></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Felice Stevens writes romance because what is better than people falling in love?

The locals treat Dad like royalty, while Dad vacillates between open anger and flat-out ignoring me. Throw in my messy relationship with my brothers, and being in Birchbark becomes unbearable.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">The only saving grace is Dusty, my childhood best friend. He’s always had my back, save for one night ten years ago that changed everything. Despite my endless family drama, Dusty becomes my solace, and it’s not long before our emotional connection becomes more. Dusty worships my body in ways no man has before, but more importantly, he’s stolen my heart. Except Dusty’s home is here, and mine is in Santa Monica, as far away as I can get.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">While I’m battling it out with Dad and trying to hold the family together, my every impulse is to leave the first chance I get. But I can’t leave Dusty behind. Not again. If I want a chance at real happiness, I’ve got to work through this anger and grief…even if the hits keep coming.</span><br /> <br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>Morgan is a small-town, friends-to-lovers romance with all the feels, heat, and character development you expect from a Riley Hart novel.

Her primary focus is Male/Male romance but under various pen names, her prose has touched practically every part of the spectrum of love and relationships. The common theme that ties them all together is stories told from the heart.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">A hopeless romantic herself, Riley is a lover of character-driven plots, many with flawed and relatable characters. She strives to create stories that readers can not only fall in love with, but also see themselves in. Real characters and real love blended together equal the ultimate Riley Hart experience.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">When Riley isn't creating her next story, you can find her reading, traveling, or dreaming about reading or traveling, spending time with her two snarky kids, and swoony husband.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Riley Hart is represented by Jane Dystel at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret Literary Management.

He’s forgotten I exist.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">So I’m done with mistakes.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Call it my New Year’s resolution.

The Wellbridges, who think they’re the epitome of wealth and refinement; and the rest of the Honeybridgers, who know better than to get in the way of the centuries-old rivalry between the two.<br /><br />There wasn’t a time when I didn't know Flynn “Firecracker” Honeycutt.</i></span></div><div style="color: black;

His gorgeous eyes used to spark with dreams and fire, but now he looks at me with cold fury. And just like Achilles had his heel and Samson had his hair, I had Flynn Honeycutt, the one man I’d never been able to charm, despite an entire life spent winning people over.<br />I’m not giving up, though. Because I’m not the kid I used to be, either. And because, if the two of us can survive a long, hot summer filled with his family’s crazy antics and my mother’s single-handed determination to keep the Wellbridge-Honeycutt feud alive, there might just be a chance for both of us to get what we want:</span></div><div style="color: black;

Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day. She writes gay romance with heart, humor, and heat!</span></div></span><span style="color: #222222;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen x1xlr1w8 xi81zsa" color="var(--secondary-text)" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #202124;

Coach Toren Greely is glad that his old friend is joining their team as the new head coach and hopes for the start of a winning season. So the last thing Toren should be doing is causing any other issues for the staff or team. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So when he finds out that the girl he is obsessing over is a new Senior volleyball player at the school, it shocks and horrifies him. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jennsyn Bell left her prestigious school behind and moved to Montana to get some space from her own issues and gossip She just needs to focus on volleyball and finishing her senior year and figuring out her life. She is weighed down by family expectations, pressure, and fear of the future. And now she cannot seem to get a certain football coach off her mind or stay away from him. She does not trust anyone but for some reason, she knows she can trust Toren, but she is not supposed to. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And no matter how many times Toren says goodbye to her, he cannot seem to get her out from under his skin either. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a forbidden, age-gap, college coach-student secret romance. I adored Toren. He is such a good guy and wants to do the right thing, but she feels so right in his life. He is sweet, protective, loyal, and caring. She is more mature than others her age and is lost in her own transition but Toren seems to anchor and support her like no one else has. I felt so bad for these two since they really were well-matched and had wonderful chemistry, but they were in a situation that could cause another scandal and have the potential for them to both lose their standing in the school. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This follows the same timeline as <i>Coach</i> so Ford and Millie's secret romance is going on at the same time. And also teases Rush's story and another one possibly for some other players. It also focused on Toren's aunt and cousins and I loved how he took care of them. </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3MhmORv4S6N9hx1coUv3sBP1DRPbtqmpfoqsC-d_SOSPqGItFqVGNZMhbByHURnga2nSRIbRLpn9owQr17SEVTNCnS63FRLI8iOPQxylDSQoA4WV6luzIAz2kk7ooxKMHt3Ldi538TGCRdDdt8Ek54KeW_2ke4CGjnP6S4qbfo4LcxV9nFyCZbC76KfLr/s225/nameRachelname.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="70" data-original-width="225" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3MhmORv4S6N9hx1coUv3sBP1DRPbtqmpfoqsC-d_SOSPqGItFqVGNZMhbByHURnga2nSRIbRLpn9owQr17SEVTNCnS63FRLI8iOPQxylDSQoA4WV6luzIAz2kk7ooxKMHt3Ldi538TGCRdDdt8Ek54KeW_2ke4CGjnP6S4qbfo4LcxV9nFyCZbC76KfLr/s1600/nameRachelname.png" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw_5W2wQbuNVXJiP6cArt9yzB3Ok1PBFpx5NKE6FKguLQWmghKIbi25GPu4tCUQL3aqr5dE75YVvm9zugptQ4VLpaiJLQwAyLEwZvvFWN1DW2HPTgEUaT9D6-HWWznaQ1R6xvEIC1Isq3adb3IpwDXWR92wdE77_9YKrUWotImGDcxLx2Z2BGpIVnl9Dk/s150/starrating4half.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="150" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw_5W2wQbuNVXJiP6cArt9yzB3Ok1PBFpx5NKE6FKguLQWmghKIbi25GPu4tCUQL3aqr5dE75YVvm9zugptQ4VLpaiJLQwAyLEwZvvFWN1DW2HPTgEUaT9D6-HWWznaQ1R6xvEIC1Isq3adb3IpwDXWR92wdE77_9YKrUWotImGDcxLx2Z2BGpIVnl9Dk/s1600/starrating4half.png" width="150" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Toren is a local, born and raised in Mission and this is where he wants to call home forever. At 33, he is starting to feel like he wants something different, a quieter life than the partying, single coach persona he is now known as. At his 4th of July Party (which he swears will be his last) he meets a stranger who captivates his interest and his night. He knows she lives somewhere in the neighborhood, and though he gets her number at the end of the night he doesn’t jump right to calling her.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fast forward to the start of the practice season, and he realizes his mystery Jennsyn is none other than the volleyball team’s new star senior. A student. Absolutely off limits for both of them. Jennsyn is a recent transfer, hence his ignorance about her identity, and regularly surprises him with her maturity. She is dealing with trying to fit in on a new team, but is mistrustful of her teammates. In addition there is pressure from her mother, also a competitive volleyball personality.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They work sooo hard throughout a good deal of the book to stay safe and fight the feelings both are feeling. The angst was real as Jennsyn sneaks over as often as she can and says goodbye early each morning. But there’s only so much sneaking around that’s possible with 2 roommates and as often as they run into each other on campus.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is plenty of sports talk going on in the background, and is a big side plot for Jennsyn, but it isn’t heavily technical when it comes to sports. I don’t normally go in for student/teacher type tropes and while this isn’t exactly that I was a little hesitant before I started. Let’s just say my hesitation left quickly as these two caught my heart. Jennsyn is not your average college senior and as a result of the pressures she is facing, calculates her moves very carefully. I loved returning to Treasure State and this world. Blitz takes place overlapping Coach, but both stand alone really nicely.

He is also anxious about his future, and the fact that he needs to go to England for a family wedding where his ex will be attending. He’s been hurt and has abandonment issues and he keeps people in a distance so that they can’t get close enough to hurt him.<br /><br />Jacob has also suffered loss, but he keeps it locked down under a veneer of sunshine and energy. He runs his own bakery with his brother that has become incredibly busy due to their relationships with the hockey players. But Ethan saw how they struggled financially so he helped them get out from under the pressure of debt. <br /><br />But now Ethan needs a favor. And their friends bring up the idea for him to go to England with Ethan and be his fake boyfriend for his family wedding. And since they are friends and they do have a calming influence on each other, it seems like the perfect idea. They’ll just have to kind of ignore the crush they both have on each other and have been hiding…unless they go ahead and explore it and have a vacation fling.<br /><br />These guys both had deep emotions and past pain that had affected them but they dealt with it differently. Ethan is a man so afraid of getting hurt and actually feeling real emotions that he keeps himself guarded and somewhat distant. While Jacob is the guy who wants the romantic fairytale and tries to live life instead of having regrets. Ethan feels he needs to focus on his career and struggles with feelings of inadequacy and feels like Jacob deserves more. Jacob can see Ethan's full potential but is so afraid of rejection.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a sweet, sexy, grumpy-sunshine, </span>hurt-comfort,, <span style="font-family: inherit;">close proximity, fake boyfriend, friends-to-lovers, vacation fling, sports romance with two guys that are just so in need of love and support. I enjoyed seeing them connect, drop their walls, and just let go while on vacation. But there is this dark cloud knowing that when time is up they would be heading back to their normal lives, They both have such emotional wounds and fear of getting hurt. It will come down to them being brave enough to be truly vulnerable, face their fears, and fight for what they really want and need. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />They have plenty of friends encouraging them. I am looking forward to more stories in this universe and am already interested in the next couple. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWx7bb9Tfyi2S0PcJxxV9g7yYEkLxfWe_FYmqwp6CKNINJj6kf822DeUosh6hbGFY3-5L7wmdCiY_xXIAZyfCut_MgvFEkgj0k_D5ypdHwvLPtLh3ZJQL9hGIqKkJCtZ2mAajBcbLV0Z5rIcpOGxIeoMAIheQz_x6tNLbQo0pwcoyayHEqAPnanwglVA6h/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

But things get awkward when the next week they learn she is his new boss and they have to pretend they’ve never met.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hugh is a single dad trying to build in time with his daughter to give her the stability she needs. He once ran his own security company, but knowing his daughter needs him he takes a job working for the Montgomerys.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I fell in love with these characters quickly. Daisy is strong and independent, a necessity in the security field. She has worked hard to prove her strength and though her family wants to jump in and help her, she will fight to show that she doesn’t need the help. Hugh understands this very quickly about her and her independence is one of the things that attracts him. His daughter is adopted into the Montgomery family before he and Daisy are even official, which means it was only a matter of time before Daisy and Hugh sorted out their hangups, really.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This installment of the second generation Montgomerys has plenty of multi-generational family involvement. It also tied up some loose ends from earlier books, answering those questions about what caused the warehouse explosion that led to Daisy’s injuries. But it ends with a teaser into Kane’s book, His Second Chance, that has me wishing I could jump right into it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRGfHNAES8Ub2nM5tCdNCgx0-v3rx14HgZv3Xqs0b5f9-npcxflv4h7pe7xaF2hXq3NYgu3Je4tpzSt8GPvuxdMI3HLOP6p7ucVCmZHzNsDKdEdzfkMCwygj9oUbjj2XAXBKbmJxhcabHKgJMiDy_EJLVTUaauEDV1R3r5A2e3oLgg4JKryGgon5soPMo/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="101" data-original-width="350" height="92" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRGfHNAES8Ub2nM5tCdNCgx0-v3rx14HgZv3Xqs0b5f9-npcxflv4h7pe7xaF2hXq3NYgu3Je4tpzSt8GPvuxdMI3HLOP6p7ucVCmZHzNsDKdEdzfkMCwygj9oUbjj2XAXBKbmJxhcabHKgJMiDy_EJLVTUaauEDV1R3r5A2e3oLgg4JKryGgon5soPMo/s320/namereviews.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqXwnzbehf1oKqtxeYql1Wm9ddU4DPHUSaDHD1I34JkkmM1xdEY2XwCsm0x5iPNJ1x-oZqnntAWA5Od_PlgdhaGwgDwihHXM8LwI0hVeG51B3Azk7Jl02v1DvF5arlXH49Rme3m-T4WiD85YNrohi1-_VYHXPJZ1I5048rCCanfCUNWEkfi47klZMOxTE/s225/Excerpt%20Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="64" data-original-width="225" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqXwnzbehf1oKqtxeYql1Wm9ddU4DPHUSaDHD1I34JkkmM1xdEY2XwCsm0x5iPNJ1x-oZqnntAWA5Od_PlgdhaGwgDwihHXM8LwI0hVeG51B3Azk7Jl02v1DvF5arlXH49Rme3m-T4WiD85YNrohi1-_VYHXPJZ1I5048rCCanfCUNWEkfi47klZMOxTE/s1600/Excerpt%20Header.png" width="225" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I turned the corner and bumped into a woman in sky-high heels, yet was still quite a bit shorter than me. I cursed and reached out, gripping her shoulders. She had her hand on my wrist in a moment, squeezing with a twist that surprised me. I knew that move. And if I wasn’t careful, she was going to twist my arm around my back. Interesting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why did that make me hard? There was something wrong with me, and I needed to either get laid, or get some sleep. Probably both.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I’m sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going, and I’m trying to be quick about it. I apologize.” I gently moved my arms from her shoulders and tried not to stand agog with my mouth open. She was quite possibly the most gorgeous woman I had ever met in my life.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And, in my line of work, I tended to meet a lot of beautiful women.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She had stunning green eyes that looked as if they were crafted within the ocean. In fact, I bet in sunlight they looked gray or even blue. The mystery of it compelled me, and that probably should have been a warning sign. Her long dark hair was neatly crafted into some form of updo thing that I didn’t understand. I wondered what it would look like if I pulled it out of its style, just to see it fall down her back. Would it be wavy? Would it easily wrap around my fist?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She was strong, muscular, a little above average height, but still short next to me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She had curves, beautiful breasts that filled out her dress achingly well, and slightly widened hips, the perfect width for my grip.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I shook myself out of whatever the hell was going on with me. I did not react to women like this. Hell, I barely reacted at all these days. I was too busy trying to keep up with my daughter, this move, and the fact that I would start a new job on Monday. I didn’t have time for this wedding.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“It’s okay,” the woman said, her voice slightly smoky. It was a voice that drew me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What the hell was wrong with me?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Anyway, I should hurry. Don’t want to be late.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Her red tinted lips quirked into a smile, and I swallowed hard.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“No, I don’t think Henry’s bride will appreciate that.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You’re on the groom side then?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She nodded. “And with that accent, I guess you’re on the bride’s side?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You know, you’re not the first person to say that today. Your friend could know more than one British person, not just the one he’s marrying.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“True. But statistically, I think Rina knows a few more.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You know, you’re probably right.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Anyway, I will see you. At least across the aisle.” She winked, before she turned towards the wedding center, her hips swaying just right. I didn’t think she was doing it on purpose either. It was those damn heels, and those legs that went on for days. And she was so damn strong. So muscular.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I shook that off, because I didn’t want to walk into the wedding after it started, and ran to the bathroom, cleaned the back of my neck, washed my hands, and let out a breath as I leaned on the sink.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You can do this. One more day of being normal.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whatever normal was.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I made it to my seat in the middle pew right as the processions began. I was grateful that I hadn’t had to slip in the middle of it or hide behind a pillar during the damn ceremony. That would’ve been just my luck.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, it seemed my luck was changing, because as I turned to watch the procession, I saw the dark-haired beauty right across from me. She winked as the man next to her spoke into her ear and she laughed, a nice husky laugh that went straight to my groin.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She had brought a fucking date. I guess that answered that.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now to just get my cock to agree.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_ZNMi8ibrhqDH057jPU_gfLm74ZntewNeKX8aKMDPCBTuWgC7akecDxg4-v3Dn9fAZc5ZhFoyN5P2VIzKgyt80bTeK1K5zqzttpQMbGfcFX-ea9umxmqp8KrAMRQNKaK4L8vzTxUXyaIGnC7pkThCRZHOwhMhsL7xFENPfXdMw-HWKvK179YAwDOfgU/s225/Author%20Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="64" data-original-width="225" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_ZNMi8ibrhqDH057jPU_gfLm74ZntewNeKX8aKMDPCBTuWgC7akecDxg4-v3Dn9fAZc5ZhFoyN5P2VIzKgyt80bTeK1K5zqzttpQMbGfcFX-ea9umxmqp8KrAMRQNKaK4L8vzTxUXyaIGnC7pkThCRZHOwhMhsL7xFENPfXdMw-HWKvK179YAwDOfgU/s1600/Author%20Header.png" width="225" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For more information about Carrie Ann Ryan and her books, visit her website:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="goog_1001585037"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://carrieannryan.com/">https://carrieannryan.com/</a></div>Rachel Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10852918412328873124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573132523985177120.post-33289347458050526352024-03-05T07:00:00.008-06:002024-03-05T07:00:00.142-06:00Release Blitz: The Gentleman: Dianna Roman<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEidGzPmi5Xua3_CPuNMrPTdz-Pt09Vf9syVwHeJCO2RDxSUcWIBxzLhLFAkiTHcY8k_hNqtBXs6IOFtDhZsc3XUhGs8i6Rc8k5fxLI_IiHyvVMFgyx_fJLTD5ncihgQb3ukH3ncsUxXzhDZ2B4apSf3MFYhltCfMUnS2jAaDrn22daWC7GsPPcfWhl8zlRm" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEidGzPmi5Xua3_CPuNMrPTdz-Pt09Vf9syVwHeJCO2RDxSUcWIBxzLhLFAkiTHcY8k_hNqtBXs6IOFtDhZsc3XUhGs8i6Rc8k5fxLI_IiHyvVMFgyx_fJLTD5ncihgQb3ukH3ncsUxXzhDZ2B4apSf3MFYhltCfMUnS2jAaDrn22daWC7GsPPcfWhl8zlRm=w320-h320" width="320" /></a></div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg9KvPPdODOO8PUl0Mn4Ixi-8KiFbhWnuOLPX8pxoCAZk9MNHf2wHRLoMf2uLbeGPXI-wQG-u9uNlRTKZbfJz_vxLhqKhB_8MMtKJhIr_Q7auPJfKP6cUgWCZA8uZ9rKGvwt66vYNT218VH7NXHJJfjhLy2Rmf4tOzYgGo9raOyJ-Op72oGBDmTNsbxaOvZ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="940" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg9KvPPdODOO8PUl0Mn4Ixi-8KiFbhWnuOLPX8pxoCAZk9MNHf2wHRLoMf2uLbeGPXI-wQG-u9uNlRTKZbfJz_vxLhqKhB_8MMtKJhIr_Q7auPJfKP6cUgWCZA8uZ9rKGvwt66vYNT218VH7NXHJJfjhLy2Rmf4tOzYgGo9raOyJ-Op72oGBDmTNsbxaOvZ=w200-h320" width="200" /></a></div></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b> The Gentleman</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Dianna Roman<br /><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202991753-the-gentleman?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=Y09VkGyirE&rank=1">Goodreads</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gentleman-Dianna-Roman-ebook/dp/B0CV8WLGK5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2SUS4XJ3HK7EE&keywords=the+gentleman+dianna+roman&qid=1708214931&s=digital-text&sprefix=the+gentleman+dianna+roman%2Cdigital-text%2C191&sr=1-1">Amazon</a><br />March 5, 2024</b></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cameron Fairway has a secret.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Before he shares it with the world, he’s determined to build the confidence he wants to live life as a gay man and the experience he’ll need to snag Mr. Right.

There’s only order and discipline if you want to succeed. When the boss’ youngest son approaches him with a proposition that rattles every one of his sensibilities, Pete is determined to get to the bottom of the ploy. Because that’s all it can possibly be--why else would the ruthless John Fairway’s son proposition a straight man in his father’s company? The apple can’t fall far from the tree.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>* This story contains the following elements: slow burn, hurt/comfort, awakening, homophobic/racist parent, familial emotional abuse, obsessive compulsive disorder</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2DwM1k-zGI3aGEh-VIdp_gDkkXcikByjMSJAzuoYwEQ4nTAfuE2kFA5SEwu-hgII0ezgjh7hiGBFeMlI2stetjnk-h_L1JTikoD_Wu4BT1LQ5-l-RKM3mRoDtIa6viOAau3SKbUWx1SXV61XZTqCFxcVLYuj2quT4kHNGl-yCocAYsZRhVSHlZybPoz0/s686/IMG_0655.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="686" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2DwM1k-zGI3aGEh-VIdp_gDkkXcikByjMSJAzuoYwEQ4nTAfuE2kFA5SEwu-hgII0ezgjh7hiGBFeMlI2stetjnk-h_L1JTikoD_Wu4BT1LQ5-l-RKM3mRoDtIa6viOAau3SKbUWx1SXV61XZTqCFxcVLYuj2quT4kHNGl-yCocAYsZRhVSHlZybPoz0/s320/IMG_0655.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3g1VmDrPnrHQ6EE9wXKRGU3SRoTYNV5LMFZ5AiqlVsji9bWvCKNcFtsR7rPIhz5_2gzAQOr8PAUokhMSy1lRKVb8CwVlxaiG90lRJPoHJgBwgdFfWAA0Ya3c5KkCW_5edS9bon2JG4Lb6zzeTCnTMTNAsZdZNp96JufTG7W84wH1Wv2rQwmoQRKQPsycG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="526" data-original-width="526" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3g1VmDrPnrHQ6EE9wXKRGU3SRoTYNV5LMFZ5AiqlVsji9bWvCKNcFtsR7rPIhz5_2gzAQOr8PAUokhMSy1lRKVb8CwVlxaiG90lRJPoHJgBwgdFfWAA0Ya3c5KkCW_5edS9bon2JG4Lb6zzeTCnTMTNAsZdZNp96JufTG7W84wH1Wv2rQwmoQRKQPsycG=w320-h320" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Some Teaser Graphics from Author's Facebook group</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirj5wCWqcEotbBDshlKdFEsVGOx_fgdARkkhYvd_g4pVvSP2doo2gkSSc_XpbreyFvPkKciQ3XP9QyAwTYZXrFMU_8bgPsHY6HJBUv2O2vA8XkDyMXu_punXvoh0KNb1OxSD6D9Dap1fkhIA5KSfAlScLJVojCiPy9Q4fHfNozkNJy7kSLiswih-iX8rP-/s225/nameKimname.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="70" data-original-width="225" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirj5wCWqcEotbBDshlKdFEsVGOx_fgdARkkhYvd_g4pVvSP2doo2gkSSc_XpbreyFvPkKciQ3XP9QyAwTYZXrFMU_8bgPsHY6HJBUv2O2vA8XkDyMXu_punXvoh0KNb1OxSD6D9Dap1fkhIA5KSfAlScLJVojCiPy9Q4fHfNozkNJy7kSLiswih-iX8rP-/s1600/nameKimname.png" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsQEfKU9bfrtER735h-vLqqYZVdA26p7gFkVIEnxw25HyhxPtoVdoozlXkvBK54z8wk89WSCuV2o3JHJPDuQ4W_rZ8O7H75vZVuOnT4b_tuyIQshwcx_r-FCGqD3xiPSV55XnFbVTyNQbquGvyTmyuDXmO9GnMR_N7uzl55A7VzVCTN7RNi1iI7Za2FLY-/s150/starrating4half5.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="150" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsQEfKU9bfrtER735h-vLqqYZVdA26p7gFkVIEnxw25HyhxPtoVdoozlXkvBK54z8wk89WSCuV2o3JHJPDuQ4W_rZ8O7H75vZVuOnT4b_tuyIQshwcx_r-FCGqD3xiPSV55XnFbVTyNQbquGvyTmyuDXmO9GnMR_N7uzl55A7VzVCTN7RNi1iI7Za2FLY-/s1600/starrating4half5.png" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: justify;">This book has an interesting premise and kept me invested in these characters. Pete is a man who thrives on control, order, and cleanliness. He is responsible, good in a crisis, a hard worker, and deals with crap at work that he should not have to. But that is what happens when you work in a good old boy company that is ruled by money and nepotism. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cameron Fairbanks is the youngest son of the owner of the company, but he does not get any special treatment. He feels like the unappreciated and misunderstood son and he also has a big secret. And he is ready to finally explore things and have firsts with a man who might understand and guide him so that he would be able to eventually find his own man someday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">He thought there was an obvious sign to pick Pete as his gay guide. But come to find out Pete was definitely surprised...not only by Cam's request but also by his own response. Now Pete is questioning everything he knew about himself and acting out of character. And Cam does not know the whole story either. These two find themselves getting deeper into something that neither was really prepared for. It was delightful to see these two fumble along blindly into unexpected and messy feelings while exploring new things together. They have hot chemistry, great banter, and actually seem to understand each other. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But what happens behind closed doors might be safe, but they work and live in an environment that would probably not be accepting. There are a lot of complicated family and workplace dynamics adding tension.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This is a witty, passionate, heartwarming, hurt-comfort, workplace, forbidden, bi-awakening/gay discovery romance between two men who have been conditioned to believe they are not good enough. But together they find trust, safety, passion, understanding, and acceptance. They help each other find self-worth, purpose, and appreciation for things they might have taken for granted. I loved how they balanced each other out and tried to help each other become the best version of themselves. I feel like the author handled Pete's particular issues honestly and I enjoyed seeing how Cam responded to him. I totally fell for these two guys and enjoyed some of the side characters although I would have been happy to gut-punch some others. I kind of want to know more about Cameron's friend, Brice. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5SRSbJjYLat6T51g5LKBvDwaeOJS4rQqn58gGMkp5yhB8nDiU-bgPKCiVy9ErVxzHJy3EURvhyphenhyphen9VQcZpbV8SXIoYh_4cjkuSuYBO_Q5piloXpczXIs0WJmSNoNPfGtGk1SjRBNY0RsZ-VJbKRqH99kmqkXrMpIiOpKI57lR5xGCBixJlSNldrA7laaFm9/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

And even though he’s found success it’s been limited to one type of role and he’s trying very hard to break into more serious work. He comes off as a cocky and athletic pretty face with no substance or emotional depth. In reality, he</span> does not like to feel vulnerable and has big guards around his heart. <span style="font-family: inherit;">So he is taking a break and heads home for a longer vacation to try to get more in touch with himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">And it brings him back to his family and his little sister‘s best friend, Ari DeLuca. She is real, honest, sweet, creative, and sassy. She runs her family’s diner, and had her own big-city dreams of becoming a famous chef, but they didn’t quite work out. She’s had a huge crush on Dash since they were kids, but was so hurt by his rejection in her teens that she vowed to hate him. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">But now that he’s back and she’s grown up she realizes it might be time to let that go. Dash seems to be attentive, helpful, protective and they’re enjoying being friends again. So in the spirit of friendship, she wants to help him find his emotional side to better his career. She’s got a whole plan but it also involves spending more time together, and the attraction that simmers between them now is definitely more adult. Short-term friends with benefits might give them the answers to what they missed. But Ali cannot let her crush come back and go unchecked again.<br /></span><br />Oh, Dash. He’s so sure he can just keep his walls up and not get emotionally attached. </span>I love seeing a total commit-phobe start to catch feelings almost against his will. And Ari is a smart woman and she knows she’s putting herself in a situation with the potential to break her heart but she’s not going to miss the chance that she’s been waiting for her whole life. Timing is an issue and always has been for these two. Even though they support each other's dreams, it just seems like their dreams won’t be able to coexist. <span> </span><span>Ali wants to build a family in their small town and he wants to be a big Hollywood star. So they’re right back where they started...an impasse.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />This is a sexy, witty, sweet, crush to hate to friends to lovers, second chance, friends older brother, small-town romance. It's about trust, opening up, being vulnerable, and caring about someone more than yourself. I loved seeing the growth in Dash from emotionally stunted and scared to swoony hero. And I adored Ali and her spunk. I enjoyed getting more with his family and other fun cameos. </span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4vBP2wD7Y3ip1kcMyBv8qNoOcn3PxzLdrlPoSWU_BqwJZj5atz_ZDTLeJHpi0tmLNUHv3gVxRlWNK5ibqCAtMOZZE4vMyuWNASv7qaYpHUy_oyRBaCLecz6yis8viDyHrRLbAojm75OwlZjio7aexOg38rs1bvNYoYmht7ssluho7Xp5V41G3NMjvASw/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

He is trusting, naive, adorable, quirky, creative, and has lots of big feelings. His ADHD causes different challenges that vary from unfocused to hyperfocused, to too antsy to too still, and needing his own systems to try to function. But his heart is pure and he cares deeply. And his heart just got trampled on by the man he thought was his boyfriend.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hunter was blindsided to learn his fiance' also had a boyfriend and his move to Seattle is now not what he hoped for. He is having an identity crisis and is angry and full of self-doubt. He is also struggling with finding a place to live making it harder to settle in a city with no friends or family nearby. And it is even more complicated when he sees who one of his new employees is and worries about the dynamic of supervising his ex's side-piece.<br /><br />This whole situation starts out bad and gets messy. But as Hunter spends more time with Rush, he starts to see his appeal and begins to appreciate his humor, pure heart, and the unique way he sees the world. And Hunter brings a sense of calm and acceptance to Rush, while Rush helps Hunter realize his own self-worth despite his bruised ego. And as they become friendlier, an idea is born...a revenge idea. <br /><br />With the help of the boys of the Big Bertha house, revenge plans are made but things also never really go as planned with Rush in the equation. And the initial idea to make their ex jealous starts spiraling in different directions. <br /><br />I loved seeing two scorned men finding understanding and helping each other heal and move on from the bad situation they were both in. And I was really wanting to see their shared ex get his comeuppance. But it is really more about these two men finding an unexpected connection and their person as a consequence of a bad situation. And the way they balanced, accepted, and understood each other was really sweet and beautiful. I think the author handled Rush's issues in an honest way and I just adored him and his quirks. And Hunter might have appeared to be put-together but he had his own issues and feelings of inadequacy too. They are not perfect and they are not expected to be. And it is the openness, vulnerability, acceptance, and protectiveness that is the heart of this story.

When his former in-laws come to him with a plan for a surrogate to carry his late wife's child, he is shocked and a bit panicked. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Abby Knickerbocker is a family friend of his in-laws and she volunteered to be the surrogate. She has her own reasons but ultimately wants to help. She has also experienced loss and grief and is at a crossroads in her life. She is empathetic, caring, and sweet. But she also has a backbone and is sassy, witty, and challenges him. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They begin their journey with antagonism and mistrust. But as they travel this unconventional road together they find themselves close at times and separated by distance at others. But as layers are peeled back and guards are let down, they are also finding an inconvenient attraction and confusing feelings. But the entire situation is complicated and messy mixed up with loss, expectations, obligations, fears, distance, and uncertain futures. The chemistry between them is natural and easy, but everything surrounding them and the future is not. Neither of them is sure what they want and can truly handle in this unconventional situation that not only involves each other but affects the lives of others. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a forbidden-by-circumstances, age gap, grumpy-sunshine, close proximity, and long distance, second chance love story involving hope, healing, passion, and found family. I fell for Sig all over again. From his guarded, grumpy beginnings to his protectiveness and big heart. He has perfected this hard outer shell that Abby just starts poking holes in and I loved seeing his fear, confusion, and attempts to dodge the inevitable. Abby is strong and understanding and she calls him on all of his crap. And she is unselfish as she put her life on hold to help someone and then is afraid to hope that the scary feelings she is having could ever lead anywhere for her. Together they are a hot mess of issues, hidden feelings, and anxiety, but their story is just so beautiful and heartwarming too. I think this might be my favorite Penelope book to date. Something about this story and these characters just touched my heart. <br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I enjoyed getting an update with Leo and Felicity and I adored the spry Grandma figure Lavinia, and the whole blended family aspect.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJIvAiWG8DYG7FbvjnYu2dpyDitsfPdk64KKZoOYN43bK6-yNnrTLPNE8UOSVMQ50JIOSLq1iMXagpyJ8CRD61ANIMF01inCheyMdoZClKcnIsKu9whILP9Bt8-uLLp4E24V1AQh36pR3x_Y0ama-hWbbqQb3cqeUyS5yHAsJZQ_z4dqL8dObw4P1rkAdP/s225/nameRachelname.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="70" data-original-width="225" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJIvAiWG8DYG7FbvjnYu2dpyDitsfPdk64KKZoOYN43bK6-yNnrTLPNE8UOSVMQ50JIOSLq1iMXagpyJ8CRD61ANIMF01inCheyMdoZClKcnIsKu9whILP9Bt8-uLLp4E24V1AQh36pR3x_Y0ama-hWbbqQb3cqeUyS5yHAsJZQ_z4dqL8dObw4P1rkAdP/s1600/nameRachelname.png" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhaRQQIX1RHv9Y8T4nBA1Mhqe4fDhB7gHu16OYzo21romIj4vmXY3MX75JTBxE-Ku3_35dIAcfclbTciTwi06n3y-1VBBTghvkKL1ZDoUxU4hM1nTURWbdHoGAHtNG1Qtnj7WzNAeB2VJKHky_npu_-PJ5Q72huWVs171lJL7inKiLF6DWnVxaXypZHg/s150/starrating4half.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="150" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhaRQQIX1RHv9Y8T4nBA1Mhqe4fDhB7gHu16OYzo21romIj4vmXY3MX75JTBxE-Ku3_35dIAcfclbTciTwi06n3y-1VBBTghvkKL1ZDoUxU4hM1nTURWbdHoGAHtNG1Qtnj7WzNAeB2VJKHky_npu_-PJ5Q72huWVs171lJL7inKiLF6DWnVxaXypZHg/s1600/starrating4half.png" width="150" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sigmund was introduced in the Aristocrat as Leo’s cousin. Since the end of that book, Leo’s life has taken a direction the playboy would have never imagined, and he is determined to not go through that pain again. He had a love, and lost her, and though he is still close with her family, he is a shell of his former self. His in-laws want to move forward, with his permission, bringing a piece of their daughter back into their life. He isn’t fully on board with the idea, but he also doesn’t want to hold them back from happiness or from having a piece of their daughter. But he is still grumpy and sullen and isn’t entirely welcoming when he meets the woman who has volunteered to carry the baby.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Abby hears her father’s best friends’ story of loss and the way they want to honor and remember their daughter and with some thought decides to offer to be the surrogate for their grandchild. She agrees to all the stipulations Sig puts into place, including traveling to and living in England while she is undergoing treatments.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I loved the entire journey of this story from start to finish. Sig is still holding on to his love for Brittany, and even as he finds himself drawn to Abby, he feels guilt for letting Brittany go. Abby has her own reasons for wanting a change, but her reasons for volunteering to be a surrogate are entirely selfless. As they get to know each other, they find themselves struggling to remain detached from each other and from the baby, something both swore they wouldn’t do. Their chemistry is natural and compelling, while they sort through all the feelings brought up by their pasts, the distance that often comes between them, and the self- imposed rules they set.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are plenty of cameos by Leo and Felicity from The Aristocrat, and I loved Lovenia, the woman who runs the inn where Abby stays when she is in England.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Okay, so I may have oversold my qualifications. That shouldn’t be a big deal, though. I mean, being an assistant’s assistant seems easy enough, and I’m a fast learner.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hold up!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m already in over my head with spreadsheets, new pronunciations, and temperamental appliances. And just as I’m mentally preparing to face going home early, the big boss offers me an opportunity I can’t refuse.

I’m not quite sure how I ended up with an assistant who spills coffee daily, wears wrinkled shirts, and chatters nonstop. He can’t stay, but I don’t want him to go and that’s madness.

It seems like a fun night in Vegas before he leaves is a good idea and he has a fantastic night. And then it’s off to England he goes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Graham Horsham is an intimidating, rich, successful British financier who likes control, cleanliness, and no attachments. His life is busy so every once in a while he’ll go out for some quick relief. The last time he did this happened to be in Vegas.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">And now his new employee from the United States looks really familiar. Graham is intimidating and scares most of his regular staff, but for some reason, Raine just treats him like a normal person. Graham guards his heart and is not looking for distractions from his big business deal or any kind of attachments. But he finds himself acting uncharacteristically around Raine. Even though they both know working together could get complicated and dynamics keep changing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: justify;">These guys are such opposites in every way, but somehow they just have this connection and chemistry. They don’t want to think about each other, but they get under each other's skin. <br /><br />I loved seeing Graham try to be the stoic, intimidating, emotionally distant man, but then acting uncharacteristically and having trouble forgetting Raine who was only supposed to be a one-and-done hookup. I loved seeing peeks of the playful charmer under his more reserved, stoic, hard facade.<br /><br />And Raine is like this storm and fresh air and sunshine all at once. He’s kind of happy chaos. But he’s great with people and witty, congenial, and charming. But he has also been hurt by having to be kept a secret in the past. And he does have his own strengths even if they’re just not exactly with the job that he originally applied for.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a witty and fun, age-gap, fish-out-of-water, opposites-attract, rich suit and broke history nerd, grumpy-sunshine romance that starts in Vegas and migrates to England. It's about letting down walls and letting people in, priorities, and finding someone that challenges you to be your best and truly live life. </div></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm_lGkiI5EK8dHCx8s2wb4n996HG8K1eMUMemmxFeXMeiArg6hvBkS1X8kWJ2DXxTQPSJ5wkUOyhFZhnw8JWAVFE54CnbY8OHzrD4scyofXdnvGFepxCb_W_rFJuulswTASsoMyGZeE8uy6-_XURgn4RBzqMvaRpk6q4uwkGOIr4q6asHL65FFa0m8o4Nh/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="101" data-original-width="350" height="92" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm_lGkiI5EK8dHCx8s2wb4n996HG8K1eMUMemmxFeXMeiArg6hvBkS1X8kWJ2DXxTQPSJ5wkUOyhFZhnw8JWAVFE54CnbY8OHzrD4scyofXdnvGFepxCb_W_rFJuulswTASsoMyGZeE8uy6-_XURgn4RBzqMvaRpk6q4uwkGOIr4q6asHL65FFa0m8o4Nh/s320/namereviews.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgCmnj2Jn1L8hE7h1QQdplgl_qakilaCCy9oF_WyYnD7LMsczLOROF9bBk6zs3jMNxQDvzF3WeAcZYWvlWPwG1PpfOugXA1T-_hTMpwPdYs2En8Q_fADe6FJaDSpIrFfmBZU6ELM6zywKfH220tnqlb8J0psQdf-zBkBu-Ew_CNvV7Sj1kMgafV44WbYKhO" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgCmnj2Jn1L8hE7h1QQdplgl_qakilaCCy9oF_WyYnD7LMsczLOROF9bBk6zs3jMNxQDvzF3WeAcZYWvlWPwG1PpfOugXA1T-_hTMpwPdYs2En8Q_fADe6FJaDSpIrFfmBZU6ELM6zywKfH220tnqlb8J0psQdf-zBkBu-Ew_CNvV7Sj1kMgafV44WbYKhO=w320-h320" width="320" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjqxd-Zy-0pRpsbgkKPvQP48G_GIl1cmJDvdqKOnj1ZcYFQ698NPJ5CU2odywP6wK7S4piz12rxfgq_GiQpClZHe230mzfpWZip1Ds-UM0f94W2xDf5zs63mKNHdFXHy4l0F4S-7X3MD62IN7hUsqBuGmC6sJpybxnX3IPoIdcnOq8Vfl9tsLcNcu2xit1m" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjqxd-Zy-0pRpsbgkKPvQP48G_GIl1cmJDvdqKOnj1ZcYFQ698NPJ5CU2odywP6wK7S4piz12rxfgq_GiQpClZHe230mzfpWZip1Ds-UM0f94W2xDf5zs63mKNHdFXHy4l0F4S-7X3MD62IN7hUsqBuGmC6sJpybxnX3IPoIdcnOq8Vfl9tsLcNcu2xit1m=w320-h320" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaAVHKBy7R-Ep0PnhbMhV-fbDyJ5lVLOvGMxWeLqhsT5gq5Hjdge_bDx5TEcuLD8Cr_4irMqXCjkYDPsadfbAh9ipCUSHXeRjZkldSWGkv5M1YSaMILHND5_mjOd6tCpdbsWH_aLWhYURKym2sWK-s9jQHXxpTFEqkeeGEIFQPmfg7dubW_kDpB0VX2DqS/s225/Excerpt%20Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="64" data-original-width="225" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaAVHKBy7R-Ep0PnhbMhV-fbDyJ5lVLOvGMxWeLqhsT5gq5Hjdge_bDx5TEcuLD8Cr_4irMqXCjkYDPsadfbAh9ipCUSHXeRjZkldSWGkv5M1YSaMILHND5_mjOd6tCpdbsWH_aLWhYURKym2sWK-s9jQHXxpTFEqkeeGEIFQPmfg7dubW_kDpB0VX2DqS/s1600/Excerpt%20Header.png" width="225" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What in the hell was going on? It was as though I’d entered an alternative universe. Everything looked the same, but it was different.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course it was Raine.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I studied him shaking hands with everyone in the shop as I shrugged on my jacket. He was…hypnotic, addicting—a cross between an inappropriate dinner party guest and a fistful of forbidden sweets when you were on a diet. He didn’t fit in this world I’d carefully constructed, yet I kept inviting him in and forgetting whatever reason I’d concocted for this to make sense.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Like now.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Perhaps you’d like to try something on.” I stuffed my hands into my pockets so I wouldn’t be tempted to touch him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He widened his eyes and sidled close, whispering under his breath, “Are you nuts? One shirt here costs half my rent. Unless…oh, no. Oh, no, no, no!”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“What?” I demanded, pulling him with me outside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Are you going daddy on me?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Excuse me?” I furrowed my brow, stopping under the eaves where rain sluiced off the roof and fell like a curtain around us on two sides.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Slow your roll, G, I’m not looking for a meal ticket, and I’m not taking hand-outs. I can be talked into bedroom daddy kink, but if you want me to call you Daddy—”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Oh, for fuck’s sake, you daft man. I do not want you to call me Daddy,” I growled just as a well-dressed man stepped onto the mat next to me, pausing for a moment to close his umbrella and dart a quick look between us.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Raine pursed his lips, then burst into laughter when the man entered the shop. “Ha! You should see your face. I was kidding.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“You’re ridiculous,” I huffed, my lips twitching.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’ll be good, Daddy. Don’t spank me.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Don’t test me.” I pretended not to notice him fanning himself with a slack-jawed expression as I gestured toward the pub on the next block. “If we stay under the eaves, we’ll stay dry, but we’ll have to hurry.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No need. I bet they sell umbrellas in there.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I squinted at the tourist shop at the corner on the opposite side of the street, its windows papered with Union Jack memorabilia. “That’s crap, Ray-n.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“So what? It’s fun crap. My treat.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He sprinted into the deluge, dashing into the tourist shop while I stared after him. What was he doing? Now he’d be wet and stuck with a tatty tourist umbrella that would undoubtedly flip inside out at the first gust of wind.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A crack of thunder spurred me into action. I borrowed a sturdy umbrella from Ives and Harris with the promise to return it as soon as possible, then walked down the street to find Raine.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I shouldn’t have been surprised that he’d managed to make a friend in under five minutes. He stood in front of a wall stuffed with tartan throws, holding two compact umbrellas and chatting up a salesman. It took a bit of persuading to convince him he didn’t need the blanket—however, I couldn’t talk him out of purchasing two Union Jack umbrellas. I warned him that they were poorly made, but he didn’t care.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We squabbled all the way to the pub, argued over what to order, who was paying, and where to sit before finally settling into a table for two at the window. I frowned when he beamed a sunshine smile my way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Stop being so happy,” I teased, cradling my glass. “It’s miserable out there.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“But it’s warm and yummy in here,” he countered, sliding his calf along mine under the table. “And you’re cute when you’re cranky.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I am neither cute nor cranky. I’m—okay, never mind, I am cranky. If we’d come straight here, we could have avoided the queue and had that corner booth.” I pointed at the booth currently inhabited by a gaggle of noisy businessmen. “Do you ever listen to reason?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Have you met me?”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNBt8PVAR68B_YdDbGfTmydlAY4sL6Q22lguWq4flAuK7ZT7aAOvRBjgxxbSjc3i5GGXQmYEXj0ZqFijoIbYxHWMb9cOk3ARWpcRGdXrQpLnmfkYS98WUrM5BtdYB9h9ib1kDfp5IPFa9nmFKsVjznHYlpGB7WLci2lL5EsAm7HyBTUVgSC3cXPWl4lPUJ/s225/Author%20Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="64" data-original-width="225" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNBt8PVAR68B_YdDbGfTmydlAY4sL6Q22lguWq4flAuK7ZT7aAOvRBjgxxbSjc3i5GGXQmYEXj0ZqFijoIbYxHWMb9cOk3ARWpcRGdXrQpLnmfkYS98WUrM5BtdYB9h9ib1kDfp5IPFa9nmFKsVjznHYlpGB7WLci2lL5EsAm7HyBTUVgSC3cXPWl4lPUJ/s1600/Author%20Header.png" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwPXuUYZgeh4gMVyOmgU1WOK0Yju4J7X0gVR8lKBBDrTNbgZuqlRkuIbGjqhuUf3ETZ13SFa8Eevfn2v4UDPRzh3_73X9q2Czsrp7cMbb_nTcxnKThrriXLNlumQaWtjUX0OkAIINkfEwA7hrTyktHhycO1gLz3VHZ_oonPj2-JgDKRQMWkBBbGeD2gHpf" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="403" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwPXuUYZgeh4gMVyOmgU1WOK0Yju4J7X0gVR8lKBBDrTNbgZuqlRkuIbGjqhuUf3ETZ13SFa8Eevfn2v4UDPRzh3_73X9q2Czsrp7cMbb_nTcxnKThrriXLNlumQaWtjUX0OkAIINkfEwA7hrTyktHhycO1gLz3VHZ_oonPj2-JgDKRQMWkBBbGeD2gHpf=w158-h200" width="158" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Lane Hayes</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lane-hayes.com/" style="font-weight: bold;">Website</a><b> | </b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/LaneHayesAuthor" style="font-weight: bold;">Facebook</a><b> | <a href="https://bit.ly/3aIbMYg">Reader's Group</a> | </b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lanehayesauthor/" style="font-weight: bold;">Instagram</a><b> | </b><a href="https://twitter.com/LaneHayes3" style="font-weight: bold;">X</a> | <b><a href="https://bit.ly/3cICfaK">Newsletter</a> | <a href="http://tiktok.com/@lane_hayes">TikTok</a></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lane Hayes loves a good romance!

Charlotte not only hates him due to his past history with her sister, but they also compete on everything related to their adjoining farms. They have antagonistic banter, are fiercely competitive, and love to rile each other up. He is anti-relationship due to things he has seen in the past and never sees himself having a real relationship or family.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Charlotte is struggling to manage her farm with little support. She is smart, sassy, and headstrong. She would love to have a partner and be able to save her farm for generations to come. Rowan is in the process of expanding his farm and seems to keep taking what she needs as well. But now they are both vying for the same contract that they both really need so the stakes are even higher. <br /><br />When a weekend away with friends turns into something much different than expected. They are thrust into a forced proximity situation that heats up quickly in ways they never expected. All of that antagonism acts as foreplay and their chemistry is as hot as the fire they are using to keep warm. And it is only supposed to be a secret, short fling. But once the heat has been unleashed, they find it hard to put it back in a bottle.<br /><br />But as far as everyone in their small town knows these two hate each other. And some people close to them want it to stay that way. Charlotte has abandonment and trust issues and is used to people leaving her. And she really needs the contract. Rowan needs the contract too, but has also found empathy and concern that he never expected. <br /><br />This is a fiery and frisky, presumed bad boy next door, sleeping with the enemy, off-limits romance riding that thin line between love and hate. It is fun seeing a die-hard commitment-phobe start to catch feels and become more understanding and protective. And I appreciated that Charlotte is independent and strong and does not want to take any charity. She is also afraid to trust and pushes people away to avoid disappointment. Together they are fire and challenge each other, but they also find themselves sharing more of their lives and being more vulnerable. And they surprise themselves and each other with who they really are underneath their armor and what they have the potential to become together. <br /><br />It brings back all of the Whitlock siblings and families. I am looking forward to Brynlee's book. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAC0GE3UJIaS2vqdzc2YZ4OsEA97xQKoeoIJFx8b1X2n0kVw4ky2JtFGZJrOnyX88iMXBBaAaToVoRy9E_omA9D6O7COO90uRdi_kmlMC6XbNImzG9_fnQ1Y1yV5KUPZ2GsrAmRMBAepdI-sZweOKLJF_jzT_ZmU9CE1r2nusf60b3YyNvoQ6zdKvmhhCr/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="101" data-original-width="350" height="92" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAC0GE3UJIaS2vqdzc2YZ4OsEA97xQKoeoIJFx8b1X2n0kVw4ky2JtFGZJrOnyX88iMXBBaAaToVoRy9E_omA9D6O7COO90uRdi_kmlMC6XbNImzG9_fnQ1Y1yV5KUPZ2GsrAmRMBAepdI-sZweOKLJF_jzT_ZmU9CE1r2nusf60b3YyNvoQ6zdKvmhhCr/s320/namereviews.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAhmRd49nQ7URiXO9zO28eYlcRU_x1t_QlShUs8a4s75cL-70CSZUN2RUSfHxDxY8r6wy6M5XuZ0ys3_lly9YVopz88POs_ZwuORcCXoFd1J1aGoYHR8EBgvZKevIjHCScuFGGey_m7eek8RmzS8jMhTy9knhbZclsNTCFO4RxxhW7rbUXRaVG12VrLBHm/s225/Series%20Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="64" data-original-width="225" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAhmRd49nQ7URiXO9zO28eYlcRU_x1t_QlShUs8a4s75cL-70CSZUN2RUSfHxDxY8r6wy6M5XuZ0ys3_lly9YVopz88POs_ZwuORcCXoFd1J1aGoYHR8EBgvZKevIjHCScuFGGey_m7eek8RmzS8jMhTy9knhbZclsNTCFO4RxxhW7rbUXRaVG12VrLBHm/s1600/Series%20Header.png" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGFNVqpU7zGbxgMTZB4mv-sKkrCcokdgs8g3t5f2lNM3lDFMpID8IKpZHXVpT0rPmlDewoMzMd66rimeGIajGNeljy_AVKMSyhutNfLig1oyZauq8r353AMqBxwb2QM6wrzLBBJKVb29vLm6G4m2fhOr1qEkrhGTQuyCHNU1KV-cf7WsEosgFvrTwF" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1325" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGFNVqpU7zGbxgMTZB4mv-sKkrCcokdgs8g3t5f2lNM3lDFMpID8IKpZHXVpT0rPmlDewoMzMd66rimeGIajGNeljy_AVKMSyhutNfLig1oyZauq8r353AMqBxwb2QM6wrzLBBJKVb29vLm6G4m2fhOr1qEkrhGTQuyCHNU1KV-cf7WsEosgFvrTwF=w129-h200" width="129" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj5k98_SqgPjv0zcB6bRYvM9m2Xgg11rL36Dddh5Uu4eziwvpLz_2AYfKWMEsUHL9btC1Q83mseJIS6UwYdGLDUEZhi0dp10J6EtFi_s-vZ7l9PRyMItgC1S4jHDmNS1BRb75WdqxEqzZnYOYWLa-7raPO48L_019BkRDAF3nNqm0aEaAjArx9AoH8S83yc" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="288" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj5k98_SqgPjv0zcB6bRYvM9m2Xgg11rL36Dddh5Uu4eziwvpLz_2AYfKWMEsUHL9btC1Q83mseJIS6UwYdGLDUEZhi0dp10J6EtFi_s-vZ7l9PRyMItgC1S4jHDmNS1BRb75WdqxEqzZnYOYWLa-7raPO48L_019BkRDAF3nNqm0aEaAjArx9AoH8S83yc=w129-h200" width="129" /></a><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Forbidden Hearts<br /></span></b><b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/367554-whitlock-family">(Whitlock Family #1)</a></b></div><span><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Add to <a href="https://geni.us/FH_GR">Goodreads</a><br /></b><div><a href="https://geni.us/FH_Amazon" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Amazon</b></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> | </span><b><a href="https://geni.us/FH_PB" style="font-family: inherit;">Paperback</a><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><a href="https://geni.us/FHAudible">Audio</a></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Narrated by Zachary Webber & Desiree Ketchum

He is big, burly, loyal, fair, protective, and good guy who is just a bit grumpy. He has guilt, regrets, and demons that he cannot let rest and he has some secrets he has kept locked down. He is focusing on helping his kids move forward, but he is still stuck trying to solve a crime from the past.<br /><br />When he finds a woman sleeping in her car, she pulls out all of his protective instincts. And it makes him act uncharacteristically pushy with the need to know she is safe. <br /><br />Savannah is in Time River on her own mission to find someone important to her. She only has some miscellaneous clues and she hopes that they have let her in the right direction, but it’s not much to go on. But she is a girl who has never had anyone to rely on, so she is guarded, untrusting, scared, lonely, and focused on finding what she is looking for.<br /><br />She did not expect to find a protector that wants to help make her stay in town safe and comfortable. But these two find more than they expected, and definitely more than they were looking for or think they can handle. Both don’t think they need a distraction from their goals. And she’s not supposed to stay, so Ezra doesn’t think he or his kids can take any more loss. But the chemistry, connection, and feeling of rightness between them continues to grow, and so does their trust in each other. They both have some baggage and secrets. And as the trust grows, they become more involved in understanding each other’s pasts, and working together to deal with the past in order to have a chance to move on. <br /><br />There’s a suspense and mystery plot running through the story between both of their back stories. This is a sweet, sexy, and heartwarming, new girl in town, single dad, close proximity, found family, love story with some secrets and twists. And it’s not just about the connection between Savannah and Ezra, but it’s also with his kids and his family and friends. Savannah has never known support, acceptance, and a true sense of community and safety. But she’s afraid to start feeling like part of it, and lose it again since she has abandonment and trust issues. <br /><br />I loved these two together. I adored Ezra as he’s such a teddy bear and protective and swoony hero He is the most amazing dad to his three precocious little ones. But Savannah is sassy, strong, bold, caring, and protective in her own right.<br /><br />This book was longer and a bit quieter, and it wasn’t as intense with the danger in the subplots, even though there were some that ran through the story. I will admit I had started to figure out most of the secrets but it was still a layered plotline with interesting twists. <br /><br />At the heart of the story was tall of the relationships and how they look out for each other in Time River. It brings back all of the characters from the series and brings them together in fun times and challenging ones. Cody is supposed to be up next and I am curious what he will get into.</span></div></span><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhHxA-npIAJ6atRt6wmHRfOsSGR8clzqk2sAAcRIKC6ej56KbIB0RO_oO8pOypKFDx9TUtEnTTq-li54qpDUGwLuDBCGMQULe23EIMyLUkE_EZOQUioBwVdHrwx_Qr10X-_7twMCdDcAIz2gINHm-uMWpfUWk8GhLMZK3JmaC0LYzudCPBqvU_Dj3JCJk5/s225/nameRachelname.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="70" data-original-width="225" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhHxA-npIAJ6atRt6wmHRfOsSGR8clzqk2sAAcRIKC6ej56KbIB0RO_oO8pOypKFDx9TUtEnTTq-li54qpDUGwLuDBCGMQULe23EIMyLUkE_EZOQUioBwVdHrwx_Qr10X-_7twMCdDcAIz2gINHm-uMWpfUWk8GhLMZK3JmaC0LYzudCPBqvU_Dj3JCJk5/s1600/nameRachelname.png" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGlIwGjCEe2s68fsvdhW4R5awDsnDydm7YdPnrD0Xdg8U0tFyF-cVjpbKdnqqwiucK9JhPM3K4XYsMMqVr6yTxLzr5g_eUuDTJoAuXbxsBwf9UM1IJLvWLxMia06CpI8R2HLXZu3J8_lTpvjLuF4Y6o-t3dA7Tjzgox5NZUgZL0AA4MesC-z_c_oD2Dbw/s150/starrating4half.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="150" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGlIwGjCEe2s68fsvdhW4R5awDsnDydm7YdPnrD0Xdg8U0tFyF-cVjpbKdnqqwiucK9JhPM3K4XYsMMqVr6yTxLzr5g_eUuDTJoAuXbxsBwf9UM1IJLvWLxMia06CpI8R2HLXZu3J8_lTpvjLuF4Y6o-t3dA7Tjzgox5NZUgZL0AA4MesC-z_c_oD2Dbw/s1600/starrating4half.png" width="150" /></a></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;">Savannah is in Time River temporarily as she seeks answers about her sister’s whereabouts. A series of clues left in a journal has her convinced that her sister was in Time River, and she’s hoping to find someone who has some answers. But she didn’t count on being caught trespassing on her first night in town, nor did she count on the sheriff being around every turn for her first few days in town.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ezra is not the grieving widower everyone thinks he is, but he pretends to maintain the memory everyone else had of his wife. He has a new normal that is working for him and his kids. Finding a trespasser isn’t too far beyond a normal overnight shift as a small town sheriff, but he doesn’t usually find himself drawn to the people he picks up while patrolling. He can’t get the Little Trespasser out of his mind and quickly finds himself keeping her close as he discovers why she intrigues him so much.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ezra is at his core a caretaker. I loved the way he quickly moved in and set things up to help Savannah find her footing in Time River. His kids added a spark of sweetness and I loved their innocent attachments to Savannah.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Together, these two were so much fun to watch. From the way they both tried so hard to ignore what was building, for their own reasons, to the way they looked out for the other. They quickly moved to the top of my favorite couples in Time River.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I loved the direction this story took. The suspense surrounding the people each character was looking for kept me turning pages and making guesses.

Ellis is just this big, sweet, teddy bear of a man who is the strong and quiet type. He has his challenges, but he is kind, empathetic, loyal, creative, smart, caring, and completely devoted to those he cares about. Words just don’t always come easy to him. But from the time they were ten years old, Lucky could understand what he wasn’t saying. He could see into Ellis's heart and soul and they had this connection that tethered them together. <br /><br />But Ellis is a small-town boy who is content in his home and watches out for his mom, and Lucky is an adventurous, adrenaline junkie who just wants to see the world and live life to his fullest. And since all Ellis wants is for Lucky to be happy, he’s willing to sacrifice his own needs to let his firefly fly away. But Lucky has always been anchored and connected to Ellis in a way that has a hold on his heart. <br /><br />For years they grow and change and navigate their lives and their challenges. They are a bit oblivious to what is really under the surface and they’re so afraid that the other doesn’t feel the same way, so words go unsaid and feelings get hurt. Oh my heart, the pining! And oh my goodness, when the light starts dawning on these two it is just so emotional and beautiful. The tension and the emotions just kept ramping up. My heart just soared. <br /><br />I completely fell for these two opposite but wonderful men and I was captivated and enthralled by their pure friendship, soul-deep bond, and epic love story. It spans over fifteen years and is inspiring, sweet, emotional, </span>passionate, <span style="font-family: inherit;">and just one of the most wonderful pairings I have ever read. Ellis and Lucky are just everything and I adored them both. But Ellis is just one of those characters that is so special and inspiring. He is the epitome of "still waters run deep". He is such a multifaceted man with so much going on under his quiet demeanor. And Lucky is vibrant, outgoing, understanding, and appreciates him for just who he is and hears everything he does not say. These two will stick in my heart and my mind and I hate to say goodbye. This is my favorite book by this author. </span></div></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO9GowjJaRLqgBakSuCDhCvQ0meu2KkETgee4sC3QC30HKTJSPjd6ipIC94l4Q2SAIjNGuJOxDcAEA__VlwWz0aS6TfhnFQfvWM6gB4SnwpC1SUpqbcRQ01UjIqoaq2bUMYRRHMAEIpBChO1byTGo0F_nQ-q945Wz7h_I9D9d3b8Urgtfy6NdZzgdz2p95/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="101" data-original-width="350" height="92" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO9GowjJaRLqgBakSuCDhCvQ0meu2KkETgee4sC3QC30HKTJSPjd6ipIC94l4Q2SAIjNGuJOxDcAEA__VlwWz0aS6TfhnFQfvWM6gB4SnwpC1SUpqbcRQ01UjIqoaq2bUMYRRHMAEIpBChO1byTGo0F_nQ-q945Wz7h_I9D9d3b8Urgtfy6NdZzgdz2p95/s320/namereviews.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYFOhPzTJAUanW3wMezIn4kGVgtoluwL2HgRbcpH2ACLEkKkzGnRIEzD521P-CJV6JRSSITzoSBifh77887S1w8UCG8cQuwNjzB0I_VEI8BBxxSqqZpdqk17kXbWVpjvdJxxkg3PqsmgW-eas4MIalKH6vzHhhnMbsER59rALvZE-s--ah-Z-_YeNwtEQF" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="526" data-original-width="526" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYFOhPzTJAUanW3wMezIn4kGVgtoluwL2HgRbcpH2ACLEkKkzGnRIEzD521P-CJV6JRSSITzoSBifh77887S1w8UCG8cQuwNjzB0I_VEI8BBxxSqqZpdqk17kXbWVpjvdJxxkg3PqsmgW-eas4MIalKH6vzHhhnMbsER59rALvZE-s--ah-Z-_YeNwtEQF=w320-h320" width="320" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTWpQUwAFAduv5pVMeBLRDKIbrcYMAtfasYdK4s_S6TsxElPmFgMB2dcn5Vw807Ubnd4Fsa2qedMDg29xZVoW98tTlQ9DvLdy0D0j8fg3XXnABoe1OjOs7Yxr2mmvHf_uXUbrabi8dWJND5cZZWyy4N18LfcF4o8WAJRegxm-dTAQKZX3HduywpI8hWvxO" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTWpQUwAFAduv5pVMeBLRDKIbrcYMAtfasYdK4s_S6TsxElPmFgMB2dcn5Vw807Ubnd4Fsa2qedMDg29xZVoW98tTlQ9DvLdy0D0j8fg3XXnABoe1OjOs7Yxr2mmvHf_uXUbrabi8dWJND5cZZWyy4N18LfcF4o8WAJRegxm-dTAQKZX3HduywpI8hWvxO=w320-h320" width="320" /></a></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHYEAMvw9tfT407QPxJrA_Xo7i2216H3hCuV5SCYWZnGincikW3sNiFDTtWgqrxL3sBfyUpMap3P9IbaShnb-7WJCOezU-CS0urVUm2a0L7WD0ciaygyXmjO-aQLg8NgAVBWAGcNNQEdqbb2zS0oPeq0u-RSNe_isjdhEYE2Mgc2stHdn3MWQIdHbq/s225/Author%20Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="64" data-original-width="225" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHYEAMvw9tfT407QPxJrA_Xo7i2216H3hCuV5SCYWZnGincikW3sNiFDTtWgqrxL3sBfyUpMap3P9IbaShnb-7WJCOezU-CS0urVUm2a0L7WD0ciaygyXmjO-aQLg8NgAVBWAGcNNQEdqbb2zS0oPeq0u-RSNe_isjdhEYE2Mgc2stHdn3MWQIdHbq/s1600/Author%20Header.png" width="225" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibwIEoWZNhUTfOKJ8qlXB4ETwi9LPjFDAWYhkK6cWN8Zs7gLT_1jTmRAaSm0EL8dkFkls5dJyQZoWLnDII6693MEUuiHMmTcjjianWW0Btba4dd9x6zZUhgFnPInWu3WrD1M4ubkuwvTnCsdldKLZtuMfh6ulKiAoRDVfkh19uwNjrft37os5wrD-Q" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibwIEoWZNhUTfOKJ8qlXB4ETwi9LPjFDAWYhkK6cWN8Zs7gLT_1jTmRAaSm0EL8dkFkls5dJyQZoWLnDII6693MEUuiHMmTcjjianWW0Btba4dd9x6zZUhgFnPInWu3WrD1M4ubkuwvTnCsdldKLZtuMfh6ulKiAoRDVfkh19uwNjrft37os5wrD-Q=w200-h200" width="200" /></span></a></div><b><span style="font-size: large;">Emmy Sanders</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.emmysanders.com/?fbclid=IwAR3MxTKxWgK6482x2Wj4JA_MesHVSIasL5qA_QjfOXX5fpiLhffT6yECftM" style="font-weight: bold;">Website</a><b> | </b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/emmysandersmm" style="font-weight: bold;">Facebook</a><b> | <a href="http://bit.ly/emmysgroup">Reader Group</a> | </b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/emmysandersmm/?fbclid=IwAR2wbgqahHg926cRkcCkDCbKQXoYzrgoJEsIxbYadDKhi-AJ8iFSpYi3Zk8" style="font-weight: bold;">Instagram</a><b> | <a href="http://www.emmysanders.com/newsletter">Newsletter</a></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">MM romance author Emmy Sanders would describe herself as a lover of love.

Then it takes you back and smacks you in the face with their initial meeting and how their bantery bar pickup leads to one of these wildly, passionate and intense, supposed-to-only-be-physical interludes that becomes more than they bargained for. Everything about these guys together is just INTENSE. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Will is a military man who was ruled by honor. He believes in loyalty, fairness, and taking care of your family and your brothers. But he also has a side that can be a bit bossy and challenging and for some reason, Pierce brings that out at him. Pierce is used to being the put-together man in control and always overthinking. And Will kind of knocks him off balance by taking back some of that control in role-reversal. They bring out different sides in each other and vulnerability they are not used to. Together they are just fire, but also connect on this soul-deep level. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was only supposed to be a short fling but spiraled into something more, but eventually time and distance caused them to drift apart. And when they do see each other again, everything is different but their intoxicating attraction is the same. The situation is just a lot more complicated, messy, and devastating. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The passion, the raw lust, the power plays, the angst, the pining, the internal conflict, frustration, guilt, regret, jealousy, and the challenge of their own values and loyalties add so much tension and drama. The way it was structured with an intriguing prologue followed by different sections makes you spend the whole time full of tension just waiting to get to the part where you know something is going to happen and then see what the repercussions will be. Then BOOM there it is!<br /><br />This is an angsty, raw, steamy, passionate, heartbreaking story of soulmates, right-person-wrong-time, forced separation, forbidden love, and second chances. This book pulled me in and had me so uncomfortable, but feeling all the feels. My heart broke for them over and over. I was on this roller coaster of emotions along with them. And the heat is on another almost scorching level. It is like they are addicted and cannot get enough so it is this intense reaction and they cannot let go of even if they think they should. <br /><br />It deals with a subject that I often avoid because it is just not something that I like, but I could deal with it in this book even if some of it did frustrate me and make me a bit uncomfortable. It is all part of the plotline and conflict. But it definitely had me wondering how they would ever be able to fix the situation.<br /><br />And there are some cameos by beloved characters that just made it more special. They really tried to help Will and Pierce as they struggled, hurt, forced down their own needs, and sacrificed, and they both needed these trusted friends to tell them it was okay to burn down their world in order to be together. <br /><br />These two authors are known for writing emotional and intense books and their styles flowed together well to create a devastating and powerful, against-all-odds love story. </span></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKaq8hik0p5WABceX7evBX_KXUAZqHfaHIuTki2nMrXVft7HEy7tMBPDEyfdmAKGHo1i3C1Arm3tlyKtswRjNRoDWdXX6Wp6Fvz35cpZdweqfGE4VDCKQVi9bkznuB3F2ujW47_12KCNPXY3SDE0hPzTUEx3x6-v4to0jsJAeduCbdu44IYhB4UcjdkcC8/s350/namereviews.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="101" data-original-width="350" height="92" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKaq8hik0p5WABceX7evBX_KXUAZqHfaHIuTki2nMrXVft7HEy7tMBPDEyfdmAKGHo1i3C1Arm3tlyKtswRjNRoDWdXX6Wp6Fvz35cpZdweqfGE4VDCKQVi9bkznuB3F2ujW47_12KCNPXY3SDE0hPzTUEx3x6-v4to0jsJAeduCbdu44IYhB4UcjdkcC8/s320/namereviews.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG38CkBPkD7Qx3Ea8mMkVAkUXAQctSNLLLswUChIVSo5FZPWFymjHMKaE9fSOd_J3_nxBn7cYYQdSicf1OYZZ8W-8VyxhyphenhyphenKZ3WFnb5CbMNZAPBcMfyz9MgdlS8W4V3sb_-AhGij_3lErNR8EVpEuK6CLfBJfDrq0zJTlNdudn-UbS1Qvta6jhyITjE3DD0/s526/426103796_1833868013796470_4606969189781558237_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="526" data-original-width="526" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG38CkBPkD7Qx3Ea8mMkVAkUXAQctSNLLLswUChIVSo5FZPWFymjHMKaE9fSOd_J3_nxBn7cYYQdSicf1OYZZ8W-8VyxhyphenhyphenKZ3WFnb5CbMNZAPBcMfyz9MgdlS8W4V3sb_-AhGij_3lErNR8EVpEuK6CLfBJfDrq0zJTlNdudn-UbS1Qvta6jhyITjE3DD0/s320/426103796_1833868013796470_4606969189781558237_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1TWB1KOiRJ_Q0Wc4LLyBkvSUEwKbTxAdZTVdvUPsMbHLCVBaDGhnMNBreLWlY3HxCk0avwb3YSPCbBJZU_Ggs2tHFrOBfHiQ8_1L_LM4NfXWcj-iIrVg6iJ8Z0ksvJ4dYWHMM0GxDXBw1XH9W1GQcpXJsqC7rXXEDZw2pkSvY8uBKeFg1YPT7c8n2PFR9/s225/Authors%20Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="64" data-original-width="225" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1TWB1KOiRJ_Q0Wc4LLyBkvSUEwKbTxAdZTVdvUPsMbHLCVBaDGhnMNBreLWlY3HxCk0avwb3YSPCbBJZU_Ggs2tHFrOBfHiQ8_1L_LM4NfXWcj-iIrVg6iJ8Z0ksvJ4dYWHMM0GxDXBw1XH9W1GQcpXJsqC7rXXEDZw2pkSvY8uBKeFg1YPT7c8n2PFR9/s1600/Authors%20Header.png" width="225" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpnbH84y1UzIqpkGuCQW6IGB9aGUObPiDzW93kCjAnWBQWUlNffzF67U_7dS-uQKEY86A2LEuxnjbLzCFgeLUOdl-d6Klav-aNCc7jj4bWKGzhvH5F754eL4xOcnEnRfy7W1_EbeXgw718R9sJ-Lmm458YiB-AMadtdoerRXB4O1A27n_zOvQP0WppaeOg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="614" data-original-width="614" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpnbH84y1UzIqpkGuCQW6IGB9aGUObPiDzW93kCjAnWBQWUlNffzF67U_7dS-uQKEY86A2LEuxnjbLzCFgeLUOdl-d6Klav-aNCc7jj4bWKGzhvH5F754eL4xOcnEnRfy7W1_EbeXgw718R9sJ-Lmm458YiB-AMadtdoerRXB4O1A27n_zOvQP0WppaeOg" width="240" /></a><br /><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">CE Ricci</span></span></b></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/r2t6q8">Newsletter</a> | <a href="https://authorcericci.com/">Website</a> | <a href="https://bit.ly/3TQJMt3">Reader Group</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/authorcericci">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/authorcericci?fbclid=IwAR3cvIEYj8qAvj6FuffoIGlZd3bhLFBXbyhWUIycPv411WOwmKymcmqRDwU">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/authorcericci/?fbclid=IwAR2AJUUDbDmTJWC0msWA0MNCWYyk7Dxpm-tTEYFBdLpnG8siRHLtetVQl8g">Pinterest</a></span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">CE Ricci is an international best-selling author who enjoys plenty of things in her free time, but writing about herself in the third person isn’t one of them. She believes home isn’t a place, but a feeling, and it’s one she gets when she’s chilling lakeside or on hiking trails with her dogs, camera in hand. She’s addicted to all things photography, plants, peaks, puppies, and paperbacks, though not necessarily in that order. Music is her love language, and traveling the country (and world) is the way she chooses to find most of her inspiration for whatever epic love story she will tell next! </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">CE Ricci is represented by Two Daisy Media</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><img height="225" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/lU5-9Tn0h4N76Hv-0fJf4Uaw4iR4WapH-Tod_mk7sMELwyobCOz-EJWvwPqN7ax8KQf21exnlL0WtB-CLNVNqa20t-4sAZr31T8iYehyfrnAoZTWHynIFGx22Ps8nkQILzuRAhdA" style="border: 0px; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 700; height: 225px; margin: 0px; width: 225px;" width="225" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Marley Valentine<br /></span></b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-8d7c5db7-7fff-8cfe-d7ee-77d7c375e511"><a href="http://www.marleyvbooks.com">Website</a> </span>| </span><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://bit.ly/MVGoodread">Goodreads</a> | </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-8d7c5db7-7fff-8cfe-d7ee-77d7c375e511"><a href="http://bit.ly/MarleyV">Amazon</a> </span>| </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-8d7c5db7-7fff-8cfe-d7ee-77d7c375e511"><a href="https://bit.ly/3hHCDLk">Facebook</a> </span>| </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-8d7c5db7-7fff-8cfe-d7ee-77d7c375e511"><a href="https://bit.ly/2T2c8FT">Facebook Group</a> </span>| </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-8d7c5db7-7fff-8cfe-d7ee-77d7c375e511"><a href="https://bit.ly/3f4RayC">Instagram</a> </span>| </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-8d7c5db7-7fff-8cfe-d7ee-77d7c375e511"><a href="https://bit.ly/3wkS14b">TikTok</a></span> | </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/MarleyTwitter" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 700;">X</a></div><div style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Living in Sydney, Australia with her family, Marley Valentine is a USA Today bestselling author and a former social worker who uses her past experiences to write real life, emotional and heartfelt contemporary romance.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">She enjoys mixing it up with both M/F and M/M Romance incorporating all forms of life, lust and love as her characters embark on their journey to their happily ever after.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;">When she's not busy writing her own stories, she spends most of her time immersed in the words of her favourite authors. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Marley enjoys interacting with her readers so please feel free to reach out to her via Facebook, Instagram, email and/or subscribe to her newsletter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><br /></div><br /></div></div>Kimbytxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04174307638453392980noreply@blogger.com0
