Leigh new release. If I try and write right after I finish the book, I find that I'm on an adrenaline high from falling in love with the characters and I want to blab on and on and won't be able to write a spoiler-free review. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Royal Games is the fourth book in the Dating Series and this is Nora's story. After a divorce, Nora's best friends convince her to fulfill a promise to her late husband. This road trip is meant to leave a little of something behind at certain tourist sites along the way. Nora never expected that the journey and a man that she meets along the way would lead to letting go of the past, be accepting of love, and finding herself.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anderson North, this character is as strong as his name sounds. Anderson is also driving around with no destination in sight that's until he sets his sight on a lady in a diner. It seems as if fate has come at the right time for this character who is also in need of answers and forgiveness. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Royal Games pulled at my heartstrings, the chemistry between Nora and Anderson is felt off of the pages, it's heated but the connection that draws them to each other is what had me falling in love with them.

</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get your mind out of the gutter. We were six months old.

Family drama, distance, moving on with others, and going after your dreams is what has kept these two characters apart for over two decades. Life went on and people came into their lives. Life presents them with a second chance for the love that was meant to be after living the life that has made them the people that they are today.</font></p><p style="text-align: center;"><font face="georgia" size="2">I had a girl crush on Kimba Allen in The Kingmaker and reading Queen Move had me falling in love with her. Kimba works hard in a man's world and she strives to help lead political candidates to win the position that they are meant to hold. I love that Kimba knows what she wants and is strong on her beliefs but her judgment gets shaken when her other half/soulmate/first kiss comes back into her life. Kimba may not have realized that Ezra was her one true love or her second chance at happiness if she wasn't willing to break the walls that she had built around herself. </font></p><p style="text-align: center;"><font face="georgia" size="2">Ezra Stern carried the memories of his childhood friend for decades, he has lived his life and served his community well. Ezra may look deliciously perfect and be a man women would love to marry. His home situation is complicated and is one that the reader should discover on their own. I love Ezra, I love his heart, dedication to those he loves and I love his passion. Damn, this character deserves the happiness that comes with taking a chance for true love.</font></p><p style="text-align: center;"><font face="georgia" size="2">I am a BIG Kennedy Ryan fan and I recommend that you read this book and any other book that she has written. Long Shot is still one of my all-time favorite reads. Ryan's words are perfectly written and felt in her stories. I have lost many tears getting lost in one of her books. </font></p><p style="text-align: center;"><font face="georgia" size="2">5 Must Read Stars!</font></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><font face="georgia" size="2"><br /></font></i></b></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Excerpt: </b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âYouâre fucking brilliant.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âHuh?â Ezra asks absentmindedly, paying more attention to the flame under his pan than to my compliment. âWhatâd you say?â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âI said youâre brilliant.â I hold up the iPad Iâm using to read his manuscript. âYour book, the YLA story, is incredible, Ez.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âOh. Thanks.â He flashes me a smile and then goes back to his French toast. âThe key to getting this right is the milk-to-bread ratio.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I hop off the counter and walk over to stand beside him at the stove. âWould you forget about your French toast for a minute and listen to me?â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âBut itâs </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">stuffed</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> French toast.â He takes the pan off the burner and pulls me into his arms. âAnd I could listen to you all day. What were you saying? Something about me being a handsome, sexy genius?â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âUmâŠthose werenât my exact words.â I laugh up at him.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âI could have sworn thatâs what you said, and Iâm never wrong.â He slides his hands over my ass in a pair of his boxer shorts. âSome even say Iâm fucking brilliant.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âThey probably just like your big dick,â I whisper and blink up at him as innocently as I can manage.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âI get that a lot.â He drops a kiss on my head and turns back to his French toast. I lean down to rest an elbow on the counter and watch him work. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âA lot?â I ask teasingly. âHave there been </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">a lot</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">?â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">He pauses mid-toast-flip and slants me a glance. âAre you asking how many people Iâve had sex with?â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âI mean, itâs none of my business. If you donât want toââ</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âEight.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eight?</span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lord above, only eight?!</span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âOh.â I straighten and rest my hip against the counter. âWhat a, um, single-digit number that is.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âWhat about you?â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">What about me?</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Iâm tabulating years of hook-ups, one-night stands, fuck bois and carrying the one.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âIf you donât want to,â he says, cracking an egg into a bowl, âitâs fine. I donât care how many peopleââ</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âI donât know.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">He glances up from whisking eggs, a small frown puckering his dark brows. âYou donât know what?â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âMy number. I donât know how many people Iâve been with.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">He resumes whisking, his frown clearing. âOh.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The whisking eggs and whirring refrigerator are the only sounds in the kitchen. Iâve never been embarrassed by my choices. I enjoy sex. Iâve had it with a lot of people. People I really likedâŠor toleratedâŠbut didnât want to commit to. Iâve always been safe and never mean about it. I was upfront, and when someone wanted more, I let them know âmoreâ wasnât an option.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âI just neverâŠâ I cross my arms over my stomach, fold one bare foot over the other. âI havenât been interested in committed relationships. There hasnât been anyone I wanted that with.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âTru.â He stops whisking and gives me the full impact of his undivided attention. His eyes are placid blue. No shadows or undercurrents. âI donât care.â Ezra pushes the bowl aside and faces me. âBut there is something I feel like we should be clear on regarding how youâve handled sex in the past.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here we go.</span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âYouâve never wanted to commit before,â he says.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âRight. Iâve never wanted any strings attached.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âI know I said we could be just sex, no emotional attachments.â He shoves his hands in his pockets. âBut I feel like I have to be honest with you. Having you back in my life has beenâŠitâs been exactly what I need, and what I felt last night⊠Iâve never felt that way before.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Iâm not even sure my heart is beating, but it also feels like thereâs a tumult in my chest. âWhat are you saying, Ez?â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">His mouth flattens into a hard line and his jaw hardens to stone. âI want strings.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âY-you do?â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âI want strings.â He links our fingers, strokes his thumb across my palm. âRopes, if necessary. I want anything that keeps you with me and me with you and tells everyone else donât even think about it.â</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Iâm stunned and incredibly turned on, but that doesnât take much where Ezraâs concerned.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âYouâŠyou do?â I ask faintlyâŠagain.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">âI wouldnât do well sharing you.â</span></p>

<b>Blurb:</b>
Little did I know the one-time-job Iâd taken would plunge me into a world filled with mob ties and illegal activities or bring me face to face with the woman of my dreams. Isla Chambers was a blinding vision wrapped in Kevlar and topped in a baseball cap with FBI stitched on it.
With the sexy Isla working by my side, I gladly offered my assistance as the FBIâs only tether in uncovering this operation.
Besides, this could launch my career even further so refusing wasnât an option.
The risk seemed small ⊠or so I thought.
Not only did it expose Isla to danger, it also placed a huge target on my back.
It wasnât long before I was drowning in unimaginable darkness.
How could a world so cruel and inhumane exist?
Days and nights merged until I was nothing but broken fragments.
The beautiful face that had brought me so much joy, was stolen from memory as I surrendered to the blackness now ruling my soul.
That carefree, innocent young man was beaten out of existence.
In his place, only an empty shell remained.
Until the day Isla walked back into my crumbling reality.
Was I too lost for that dream to live on?

Hargrove is a dark, deep, sexy, and intense read. It's everything I love in a suspenseful romance so I don't want to give to much away. The only reason that I'm giving this story 3 stars is that I did not connect to the characters. I'm not sure if it's because of the way the story is paced. Because of the intense subject of the storyline I really wanted to feel Acer and Isla's pain, heartbreak, and fear. I have read other books by this author and I really enjoyed them so I'm confused with myself on how I felt reading this story. I'm hoping that you still one-click Acer because other reviews are proving that this is a story/series to look forward to reading.</font></div>

<b>Blurb: </b>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When my brothers all but force me to go out with them the weekend before the school year begins, I donât expect anything more than a few drinks and some laughs. What happens is better than I couldâve hoped for.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I meet a strikingly beautiful woman whoâs new in town. Our night starts with us laughing and drinking in the bar, moves to my bed, and ends with her disappearing into the night without any exchange of information.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Monday morning, she walks into my calculus class and knocks the breath from my lungs.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My one-night stand is now my student.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Never one to cross the line and always one to play by the rules, I make sure to tell her nothing more can happen. But as time goes on, I start wanting to erase the line and throw the rule book out the window. Because even though itâs against the rules to be with her, I feel like, with Nova, I can find happiness again. But she deserves more than becoming my dirty little secret.</span> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img class="wp-image-7556 aligncenter" height="400" src="https://candikanepr.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/344/2020/05/IMG_7353.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div>

<br />
This town ain't big enough for the two of us.<br />
Which is why I left.<br />
<br />
I was determined never to return to Hale, Texas. But when my new life in the
Big Apple throws me a curve ball, I have to go back to tie up loose ends. One
of those being him.<br />
<br />
Jason Whitney was my first everything. Kiss, love, epic heartbreak. He
shattered my world once upon a time, and apparently, heâs not done yet.<br />
<br />
With old demons lurking around every corner, hightailing it out of my hometown
is at the top of my list. Complete my unfinished business, and I get to leave
any memory of my country existence behind.<br />
<br />
Only, with each day I spend in it, with each moment I spend with him, Iâm
turning back into the girl who laid in the tall grass and swam in the creek all
those years ago.<br />
<br />
And Iâm not sure that who I was is ready to let me go again.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Jason</i></b><br />
<br />
We drew a line down the middle, and neither of us has crossed it.<br />
That is, until Savannah Reese blew back into our hometown.<br />
<br />
The day my high school sweetheart left, she took my whole heart with her. We
promised each other forever, made plans that only teenagers could believe in,
and crashed and burned on the grandest of scales.<br />
<br />
When Savannah last saw me, I was a disgraced high school athlete. All washed
up, I took it out on the only person who loved me. Then her world really fell
apart, and I was too selfish to care.<br />
<br />
Now sheâs back, ready to sell the only remaining thing tying us to each other.
Iâve been breaking my back for the last ten years not to think about her, not
to be reminded of the love we shared.<br />
<br />
But now that sheâs right here, itâs impossible to forget how we used to be. Or
let go of what we still are.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Xk55bjbBgEeYPpsEdy_nUKL5-ZBqmjyDPTQSXHzzJRy3j21ISkcy6zknd-wBlf6tE4BpMe4_edai8sX_Z34OcNNYJT00eR2VyeTq35e0GgvEdlbvpN6hJR5p__Cc6Jp3BgsgKslOUMDz/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="299" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Xk55bjbBgEeYPpsEdy_nUKL5-ZBqmjyDPTQSXHzzJRy3j21ISkcy6zknd-wBlf6tE4BpMe4_edai8sX_Z34OcNNYJT00eR2VyeTq35e0GgvEdlbvpN6hJR5p__Cc6Jp3BgsgKslOUMDz/w200-h112/Review+image.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm such a BIG Carrie Aarons fan. I love her writing, her stories gets better with every book. That's the Way I Loved You is a second chance at love small town romance. Fall in love with two characters, Jason Whitney, pushes his girlfriend away after his dreams fell apart and Savannah Reese, runs away from her boyfriend and everyone that loves her after a devastating loss. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Savannah has stayed away from her small town for ten years, she's been burying her emotions so deep down inside of herself but when having to return home all of those feelings remind her of who she use to be.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Jason regrets letting the one and only girl that he has ever loved get away and now that she has returned to town, their small house by the water, and her family, to tie up some loose ends. Before she can return to the life she has created for herself in New York, will Jason have enough time to remind her of the future that they had planned together?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This story has heart, the love from Savannah's siblings, friends, and the town's people really had me feeling all emotional. Without getting all sappy, all of these characters remind me of what's really important in life and that's the people that you love and love you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What can I say? TTWILY is another Aarons out of the park home-run read.

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The stakes have never been higher, and she's full of the devil.</span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Edward Fasbender is my husband.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Together, we brought down powerful men.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Now we have a chance to start over. To be the family neither of us ever had, to leave the past in the past where it belongs. Edward has a choice to make.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It will decide if we fall into the flames--or rise together.</span>

These characters have had me on an emotional roller-coaster of a ride. I'm pretty sure Edward and Celia Fasbender have touched every nerve that I have. Their passion for each other, what they believe in, and who they love is what kept me rooting for them. Edward may be one stubborn and gorgeous as sin asshole but he is all Celia's and no matter who stood in his way his need to right the wrongs that were done to her blinded him to be able see what Celia truly wanted.</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia" size="2">Celia won over my heart. Laurelin Paige turned this beautiful villian into a strong, thoughtful, loving, passionate woman that could stand toe to toe with her husband. </font><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">Celia's no longer Edward's bird, she's rising out of her nightmare of a past a Phoenix. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">The perfect pair that at a time were broken but together could be able to put the missing pieces together. I love them so hard that just thinking about them brings a lump to my throat. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">Rising is a story that is as strong as it's title. This story answers the questions that were left unanswered, sends tingling sensations when Celia and Edward are together, had me clenching my fist out of frustration towards certain characters</span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">, and pulled at my heart strings by connecting past characters. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia" size="2">I'm hoping I haven't said to much or given anything away in this review because you (the reader) need to experience the ride that is Celia and Edward starting from book one. </font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia" size="2">5 Star Read!</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia" size="2"> </font></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <img class="alignnone wp-image-7227" height="400" src="https://candikanepr.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/344/2020/05/Rising-Release-Teaser-3.jpg" width="400" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">
<b>About the Author:</b>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">With millions of books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. She is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime thereâs kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesnât seem to complain, however. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When she isnât reading or writing sexy stories, sheâs probably singing, watching Game of Thrones or Letterkenny, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She's also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn't do anything with the organization except use it as </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">material for her bio. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCiJWIwHdDq47CsvBUuSSz57mJwpayAWyFsTIWdeiTLYkpX5WLpAYoh2fVVEuFALwrb83jQE8W2YvwJhvrFkbOPJJ6WCTHNmojYUaAJmJ11VwmcCjCtoaUrUjtXt5TeUFkDFaex0VEV0yf/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="500" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCiJWIwHdDq47CsvBUuSSz57mJwpayAWyFsTIWdeiTLYkpX5WLpAYoh2fVVEuFALwrb83jQE8W2YvwJhvrFkbOPJJ6WCTHNmojYUaAJmJ11VwmcCjCtoaUrUjtXt5TeUFkDFaex0VEV0yf/w174-h200/Laurelin+Paige.jpg" width="174" /></a></div> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> <b>Connect w/Laurelin:

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Edge of Forever by Jacob Chance is the conclusion to Belfast and Georgia's story. This book tugs at the heart in the beginning and then punches in the adrenaline. The action in this story kept me on the edge of my seat. In Edge of Honor, Chance left me hanging over the edge of a cliff just dangling there ... waiting. The moment I had the chance to swipe the first page I could not put my kindle down and for those that wanted to interrupt my reading time, they really needed to think twice. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Belfast was everything I remember and more, this character has a way of working his way under my skin and making my heart flutter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Georgia is a trip even though she is devastated, she still finds the strength that she needs to keep going and find answers. The fact that she doesn't know who she can trust doesn't help much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Since EoF is a short read, I don't want to spoil this adventure for you and say too much. I do want to say that all the secondary characters add suspense. One character, in particular, FBI Agent Sam, left me wanting more, I silently sent up prayers that we get his story. I can't forget about Belfast's right-hand man, Mikey, his sense of humor and brute personality had me changing the name in a song and singing, "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-align: left;">Oh Mikey, you're so fine</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-align: left;"><span jsname="YS01Ge">You're so fine, you blow my mind ... </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; text-align: left;">Hey Mike</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">y!"</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">This FBI agent falling for a bad guy romance is a sexy and suspenseful read. The chemistry between Agent Georgia and Belfast is spinetingling hot. I'm one happy reader. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Back then, I had it all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Wicked fastball. Killer instinct. Cocky grin. Full package.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">(And believe me, I knew how to score.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My senior year, I was a first round draft pick with a two-million-dollar signing bonus. Before I could even legally buy myself a beer, I made my Major League debut.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Point is, I was invincible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Until one day I wasnât.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">After tanking my careerâduring the World Series, no lessâthe last thing I want to do is return to my hometown, where every jerk in a ball cap has an opinion about what went wrong with my arm. So when my sister drags me back to town for her wedding, I vow to get in and out of there as quickly as possible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Then I run into April Sawyer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">In high school we were just friends, but Iâd always wanted her, and Iâd never forgotten herâthe red hair, the incredible smile, the crazy, reckless thing we did in the back of my truck the night we said goodbye. Itâs been eighteen years, but one look at her and I feel like my old self again. I can still make her laugh, she can still take me down a notch, and when the chemistry between us explodes, itâs even hotter this time aroundâand I donât want it to end.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But just when I think Iâm ready to let go of the past and get back in the game, life throws me a curveball I never saw coming.</span></div>

<span data-original-attrs="{"style":"font-family: \"georgia\" , \"times new roman\" , serif;"}" style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Cloverleigh Farms is one of my favorites series because of Melanie Harlow's way of making me feel like I'm coming home especially with this family. These characters have worked their way into my heart. When I saw that Unforgettable had hit my Kindle, I put everything down and started reading April's story. I had been waiting for this Sawyer sister, finding out her secret in the previous book had me wanting to find out how she was going to face her past and the young guy that changed her life.</span></div>

When April was young she had to make a choice that affected her heart and the way she looked at relationships, she kept her self guarded when it came to men. I love how Harlow touched this very delicate subject that April had kept secret. Unforgettable is a second chance at</span><span data-original-attrs="{"style":"font-family: \"georgia\" , \"times new roman\" , serif;"}" style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"> love, strong families, and realizing what truly matters in a life romance story that I highly recommend reading. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Excerpt: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âBaseball was the only thing I ever did that made my dad proud. Without it, whatâs left?â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I swallowed hard. âHow about the rest of your life? All the amazing things youâre going to do and be? Maybe you canât see them yet, but I can.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He turned around and looked at me. Took my face in his hands. âNo one has ever seen me the way you do.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I smiled. âMaybe no one ever bothered to look beyond the surfaceâI mean, youâre Tyler Shaw. The surface is pretty nice to look at.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He kissed me hard then, and deep, his tongue penetrating my lips, his hands sliding into my hair. The kiss grew hotter as he moved me backward toward the bed, shoving his pants down, and lifting me onto the sheets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âGod, April,â he whispered as his mouth traveled down my throat and his hands roamed over my skin. âI want you so much. I want you so much it scares me.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âWhy?â I arched beneath his lips and tongue and teeth and palms and fingers as they moved over my body. I put my hands in his hair. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âBecause I keep imagining this life with you, this life full of things Iâve never wanted before.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âWhat kinds of things?â As much as I loved his dirty mouth, his sweet words were just as thrilling, and I wanted to hear them all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âI want to share a bed with you every night. And wake up to you every morning. I want to make breakfast for you, see you in the stands at Central High baseball games, reach all the stuff in the high cupboards in the kitchen. I want to be the one you come home to.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I smiled. âDonât be scared. I want all those things too.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âBut what if I fuck it up?â He kissed his way up the center of my chest and braced himself above me. âWhat if Iâm not good at it? What if I donât deserve it?â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âTyler.â I took his face in my hands. âYou deserve it. Do you hear me? You deserve to be loved the way Iâm going to love you.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Then his mouth was crushing mine and we were pressed chest to chest, rolling sideways with our arms and legs tangled as we tried to get under each otherâs skin. He left my side only for the twenty seconds it took to put a condom on, and then he was back, easing into my body. When he was buried deep, he stopped and looked down at me. âI donât know what the second act of my life is going to look like, but I know youâre the best part of it.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My heart, already beating hard, threatened to burst right out of my chest. âReally?â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âYes.â</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Tell me again, I wanted to say, even as his mouth possessed mine once more and he began rocking into me with deep, steady strokes. Let me hear those words again, because they meant I didnât have to be alone anymore. They meant the risk was worth it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">They meant that finally I could say to myself . . . This is what it feels like to fall in love.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Back then, I had it all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Wicked fastball. Killer instinct. Cocky grin. Full package.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">(And believe me, I knew how to score.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My senior year, I was a first round draft pick with a two-million-dollar signing bonus. Before I could even legally buy myself a beer, I made my Major League debut.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Point is, I was invincible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Until one day I wasnât.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">After tanking my careerâduring the World Series, no lessâthe last thing I want to do is return to my hometown, where every jerk in a ball cap has an opinion about what went wrong with my arm. So when my sister drags me back to town for her wedding, I vow to get in and out of there as quickly as possible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Then I run into April Sawyer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">In high school we were just friends, but Iâd always wanted her, and Iâd never forgotten herâthe red hair, the incredible smile, the crazy, reckless thing we did in the back of my truck the night we said goodbye. Itâs been eighteen years, but one look at her and I feel like my old self again. I can still make her laugh, she can still take me down a notch, and when the chemistry between us explodes, itâs even hotter this time aroundâand I donât want it to end.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But just when I think Iâm ready to let go of the past and get back in the game, life throws me a curveball I never saw coming.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cloverleigh Farms is one of my favorites series because of Melanie Harlow's way of making me feel like I'm coming home especially with this family. These characters have worked their way into my heart. When I saw that Unforgettable had hit my Kindle, I put everything down and started reading April's story. I had been waiting for this Sawyer sister, finding out her secret in the previous book had me wanting to find out how she was going to face her past and the young guy that changed her life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">April Sawyer and Tyler have a second chance to find out where their relationship could have gone if he hadn't left to fulfill his dreams of playing in the major leagues. I have to admit that Tyler pushed some of my short fuse buttons when it came to his insecurities but damn did his good looks, love, and sexy ways win me over. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">April, she's so sweet, patient, kind, beautiful, sexy and her most wonderful trait is her great big heart of caring for others. When April was young she had to make a choice that affected her heart and the way she looked at relationships, she kept her self guarded when it came to men. I love how Harlow touched this very delicate subject that April had kept secret. Unforgettable is a second chance at</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> love, strong families, and realizing what truly matters in a life romance story that I highly recommend reading. </span></div>

<b><i>âI had become his muse. What he didnât know was that he had become mine too.â</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Maggie Stevens is done feeling objectified. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">After spending her entire life in the spotlight and climbing the high fashion ranks as a model in LA, sheâs willing to leave it all behind for a fresh start. Moving to Seattle seems like the perfect solution.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A clean slate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">New adventures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Endless opportunities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">All is going according to plan. Until she meets the drop-dead gorgeous cooking instructor who delights in adding to her misery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Desmond Blake is determined to make a name for his culinary schoolâone that speaks to his hard work and undeniable passion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When his food photography hobby garners attention from an unexpected source, his dreams are finally within reach. The obstacle he never sees coming is the sharp-tongued bombshell with a distaste for all he stands for. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Desmond accidentally captures a photo of Maggie during a moment of weakness, he starts to see thereâs more to the fashionista than meets the eyeâŠ</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes what can be seen through the lens is a skewed version of reality. A bent perspective. Manufactured, therefore losing all sense of authenticity. And sometimes all it takes is a different angle to see whatâs right in front of you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I think of Through the Lens by K.K. Allen the first words that want to shout out of my mouth are, "It's a 2020 favorite!" of mine. This story grabbed my attention from the first chapter, Maggie Stevens is burnt out from living her life on the catwalk. Tired of feeling objectified, Maggie walks away from her life in L.A. only to return home to her sister and a man that clearly hits every nerve. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Desmond Blake wants to take his culinary school to the next level. He knows that capturing photos of his completed plates and teaching others how to cook can only make his dream of opening a restaurant and showing the world his love for cooking can only go so far. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love the witty banter and the slow tease between these two, it heightened the connection that was meant to be. This story really hit on looking beyond the exterior of others and seeing that their life stories, passion for what they do, and who they fall in love with adds to making them who they truly are. </span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Excerpt</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcohol is definitely not part of my plan for getting Maggie to loosen up today. What Iâm not expecting is for Maggie to take it upon herself to down three shots of White Water vodka in just a few minutes.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âGoing a little hard there, arenât you, Mags?â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She shrugs as a giggle slips from her sexy throat. âYouâre driving, not me.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I chuckle. âThatâs presumptuous of you. Who said I was driving you home?â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This time, she glares and steps right up until sheâs under my nose. âThis is a pretty shitty date if youâre not even going to drive me home.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A laugh bursts straight from my chest. âWho said weâre on a date?â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She tilts her head and practically purrs. âYou did offer me your extra ticket to the game, one you would have otherwise used to bribe one of these poor women to go on a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">date</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with youâwhich, by the way, makes me some sort of saint. So yes, this is a date.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âYou going to put out afterwards too?â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Her lips curl up at the corners. âNot a chance in hell.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">That makes me grin. âThen our definitions of date are very different.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Maggie snorts. âWho are you kidding? We both know you wonât let me find a different ride home after the game.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When she bats her eyes up at me playfully and knowingly, something catches in my chest. We both know sheâs not wrong.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">We walk to the stadium with Monica, Chloe, Gavin, and the rest of our friends. Then we detach when we get to the concession stand near where our seats are. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âWant something to eat or drink?â I ask her.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Maggie looks up at the board then tells me she wants a beer but nothing else. I order two hot dogs, two beers, and a pretzel, then we make our way to our row. Monicaâs seats are an entire section down and to the right of us.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âHere.â I shove a hot dog in front of Maggieâs nose. âYou should eat something.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She makes a face and pushes the hot dog away. âI canât eat that. Do you know how many toxins are in that thing?â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I shrug and stuff half of a dog into my mouth, chew, swallow, and take a sip of beer. âProbably just as much as those three White Water shots you took back in the beer garden.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âYeah, well, Iâm here, arenât I? Now you and my sister can shut up about the Seattle experience. After today, not another word.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I grin. âYou ainât seen nothing like it, babe.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âStop calling me babe.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âWhy? I thought you were my date.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She rolls her eyes, causing me to laugh. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âRelax,â I say, setting her foil-wrapped hot dog on the cup holder in front of her. âWeâre going to have a good time, Iâm going to take you home without molesting you, and then you can sleep off your hangover while dreaming about me all night long.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">âYou are such a cocky one, arenât you?â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I grin. âYou have no idea.â</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wish that I would have written my review for Revenge (Slay Quartet #3) right after I finished reading it. It deserves the words from the adrenaline rush that I experienced throughout my read. There has been some time between book #2 and #3 but I was able to connect with the characters as if I had just read the second book in the series yesterday. Edward Fasbender and Celia are strong characters that grabbed onto me as a reader. I have this love-hate relationship with Edward, he makes me question my sanity and my feelings for Edward cause whiplash. I wasn't sure how I felt about his need for control but I knew there was something about him when I felt a surge of jealousy and it wasn't even for me ... it was for Celia, I wanted to protect her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Laurelin Paige dives deep with Celia's disturbing past and Edwards's need for revenge. I was left on the edge of my seat by the end of the book. This is one rollercoaster of a series that leaves you wanting more.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">After three years in Credence trying to fade into the background, Della Munroe is sick of being invisible. Sheâs ready to take back control. To live a little. Hell, sheâs ready to see what this dating fuss is all about. And if that means she has to download Tinder and date every guy in Colorado, then sheâs up for it.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">After her first disastrous attempt, she decides navigating online dating would be better with a wingman, and thereâs no better person for it than Tucker Daniels. After all, he is a man. And he owns a bar, which practically makes him a relationship expert. Heâs also her older brotherâs best friend. Yes, she may have the teeniest tiny inconvenient crush on him, but heâs always had her back.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Tucker Daniels would rather eat broken glass than watch Della go out with a bunch of douchebag dudes only out for one thing. Unfortunately, heâs never been able to say no to her, and before he knows it, Tuckerâs not only vetting her datesâheâs teaching her to drive, helping her move out, and buying her a puppy!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">But when Della wants him to tutor her in more intimate arts, he freaks out.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was good to come back to Credence, Colorado, and catch up with this small town and its amazing residents. In Asking For Trouble, I fell in love with Della Munroe, and like every other person in her life I wanted to protect her. It's her strength in overcoming a nightmare that she lived for many years before she was rescued by her brother Arlo, the town's policeman that had me rooting for this character to find true love. Her innocence has herself and others believing that she may not be ready to step into the dating pool. Della's overprotective brother may not be the person to be her Tinder wingman, that's where her brother's best friend, Tucker Daniel's comes in. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tucker, is the towns bar owner, can whip up a delicious pina colada, and is the perfect person to tutor Della since he knows what men want. The problem with that plan is Della may be what he wants and shouldn't have, since he's a lot older than she is, and let's not forget that Della is his best friend Arlo's, little sister. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love everything about this story, the secondary characters are charming, loud, and caring. Tucker and Della's teasing banter had me smiling, the secret relationship had me worried, and the age gap felt like the perfect combination that was needed to bring Della and Tucker together. I found this story to be sweet and very sexy.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I didnât mean to star in a sex tape, okay?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Police Academy 2</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and morning glory clouds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It just </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">happened.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Now my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Bostonâs nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my familyâs oil company.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Little does she know, thatâs not the only pipe Iâll be layingâŠ</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sailor</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I didnât want this gig, okay?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But the deal was too sweet to walk away from.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Besides, whatâs six months in the grand scheme of things?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Itâs not like Iâm in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic gazillionaire who happens to be one of Bostonâs most eligible bachelors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrickâs charm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Even at the cost of losing everything I have.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom. </span></div>

<b><i>Hate to Date You, an all-new standalone contemporary romance in the Dating Series by </i></b><b>New York Times</b><b><i> and </i></b><b>USA Today</b><b><i> bestselling author Monica Murphy.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Stella Ricci is bored.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Her overprotective family barely let her out of their sight, despite the fact sheâs a grown woman. Yes, she loves her job at her familyâs cafĂ© and sheâs the best barista in the entire Monterey Peninsula, but is that enough? Sheâs thinking no. But what else can she do? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Enter Carter Abbott. Burnt out after the never-ending grind of selling high end real estate in Los Angeles, heâs returned home, unsure of what to do next. He needs someplace to crash temporarily until he gets back on his feet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It's easy for Stella to suggest Carter move in. Temporarily of course. It'll give her someone to talk to. The only problem?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">That one night stand Stella and Carter had about a year ago. They never talked about it. They still donât really talk about it. Despite the fact that the old chemistry has come back full force. Living together has made that obvious. Should they admit that one night wasn't enough? Or will dating each other turn into an epic fail?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hate To Date You by Monica Murphy is a fun, heartfelt and sexy second chance at love romance read. It is the fourth book in the Dating Series and I was able to jump right in there as if I knew these characters. I enjoyed this group of friends and want to get to know more about all of them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Stella seems to be the strong-willed out of the bunch, she may be beautiful but she has had to keep her guard up due to being raised with a domineering father and two brothers. I wished her guard was facing the right people though, instead of standing up to the ones that she should have been ... like her family members, Stella had her feet planted on herself. She may be independent, carefree and vocal but she feared what others have to say. That's until her best friend's brother moves back home and reminds her of the one night stand they shared a year ago. He brings all of the emotions that she has held onto, she just has to get through the angry and hurt feelings that he had her feeling the night he skipped out on her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Carter Abbott has had enough of living the life of selling top dollar real estate and he's not feeling the city life. He's back home wondering if he's having a mid-life crisis. He's given the opportunity to move in with his sister's best friend Stella until he can get on his feet. This may not be the best idea but it should be fun or will their chemistry get in the way of just keeping it strictly roomies?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I enjoyed the bickering, the family moments (nonna), and the friendships, this combination is a big part of who Stella and Carter are. I truly enjoyed this story and can't wait until I get to know each of the characters' stories.</span></div>

<strong>Excerpt:</strong></div>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Iâm in the bathroom applying one last coat of mascara to my eyelashes when Carter suddenly appears behind me, his gorgeous face looming over my shoulder. Of course, like the dork that I am, I yelp with a jolt when I first spot him, stabbing myself in the eyeball with the mascara wand.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> And like some sort of romcom hero, he rushes for me, his big hands curling around my shoulders and turning me around so I have no choice but to face him. Though I canât even look at him, considering Iâm bent over and holding both hands over my wounded eye.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> âAre you all right? I didnât mean to scare you.â He sounds troubled. Which is good. He should definitely feel bad for causing my injury.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Though really, Iâm the one who overreacted and stabbed myself in the first place.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> âIâm okay.â I stand up straighter, still cradling my watery, stinging eye. âIt only hurts a little.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> âDrop your hand.â He turns away from me, snagging a tissue out of the Kleenex box thatâs perched on the back of the toilet, then faces me once more. âDrop it,â he repeats when I still havenât removed my hand.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Reluctantly I remove my hand from my face, my eyelashes practically stuck together. Iâm sure I look a mess and I swallow hard, reaching up to dab at the tender skin beneath my eye, but Carter bats my hand away.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> âLet me,â he murmurs as he brushes the tissue underneath my eye, picking up all the excess mascara. âDoes it still hurt?â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> âA little.â Heâs so close. I can see all of his eyelashes, and theyâre thick and dark and donât need a lick of mascara on them, the jerk. Heâs freshly shaven, his face nice and smooth, and I sort of want to rub against it. Like a cat.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> âIâm sorry I startled you,â he says with the utmost sincerity. âI didnât mean for you to try to take your eye out.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> A soft laugh escapes me. âIâve stabbed myself in the eye before with a mascara wand. Iâm sure this wonât be the last time.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> He finishes cleaning up the mess I made and then turns me so I face the mirror once more. âNow youâre perfect,â he says, squeezing my shoulders for the briefest moment before he lets go and exits the bathroom, heading straight into his bedroom.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Iâm shaken by the encounter and it takes me a minute to get moving again. Since the afternoon at my nonnaâs house, weâve been friendlier. Not so friendly that we fall into bed together, but friendly enough. Which isâŠnice. I donât like having hostile feelings toward Carter. What exactly did he ever do to me anyway?</span>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Oh, he just rocked your world and turned you into a firm believer in multiple orgasms, then left you in the dust and never talked to you again.</span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Right. He did that. And it sucked.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Ellis Atwood is the devil. Ok, maybe thatâs too harsh. Ellis Atwood is ruining my life.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">First, he demolishes a perfectly good wedding trellis.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Second, he destroys a gorgeous doggie wedding that I spent ages planning. (I kid you not.)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Third, he makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, and that is not ok. I prefer the cold and harsh way my fiancĂ© makes me feel so much better. (wait, that didnât come out right.)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Fourth, and there is a fourth, he gets me all wound up and flustered.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">And last, when he unexpectedly kissed me it made me forget my own name, or the fact that Iâm getting married...in a month.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Please someone help me out. Iâm a mess.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Worst part is, Ellis isnât the bad guy I first thought he was.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">And being forced to spend time with him is making me realize that he needs my help more than anything.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">So whatâs a girl like me to do?</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>
Ellis </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Iâm only in town long enough to figure out a plan with my brother on how to save our brewery from the awfulness that is my father. Oh and be in a wedding.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Where I may or may not be crushing a little too hard on the bride-to-be. (spoiler alert, I'm crushing hard.)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sheâs really cute. Like seriously.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">And she has the cutest job, sheâs a dog wedding planner. (I kid you not.)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I can see why Henry loves her.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I can see why everyone loves her.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I can see why Iâm falling for her.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Iâm usually not a relationship-type guy. Call it picky or whatnot, but usually I get bored easily. So, my plan is simple. Spend as much time with Kiki (soon to be Faniki, I know) and hopefully get bored with her adorkable smile and sexy legs that go on for miles.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Then, I can save the brewery, be the best man of the wedding, and get my butt back to Chicago and away from the happy couple.</span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Never Kiss A Stranger by Logan Chance is a mood "picker-upper". Ellis Atwood and Kiki have a connection right from the start. Two characters that know what they like and want, it's the obstacles that are in the way that keeps them from going after it. This story of being the best man and falling for the bride is funny and written perfectly that I was not upset with Kiki (bride) and Ellis (best man) because of the love that is destined ignites this fire inside of them. It's so easy to fall in love with Ellis, he's handsome, smart, and funny. Ellis's brother Urban is a tall glass of mouth-watering cold beer on a hot day. Kiki's best friends Poppy and Lola are those friends that every woman could wish to have by their side. I love this romantic comedy so much, this story had me smiling, swooning, surprised, upset, and falling in love. </span></div>

<strong>The Redemption, book four in the Filthy Rich Americans Saga by <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author Nikki Sloane.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Once, the name Macalister Hale was uttered in the boardroom with respect. Now, itâs whispered in disgrace at cocktail parties hosted by Bostonâs elite.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Scandal nearly destroyed me, but the one thing larger than my infamy is my bank account, and Iâve learned money can solve anything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Wellâalmost anything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sophia Albyâs preferred currency is secrets and the way she trades information puts Wall Street to shame.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This girl charges into my life and claims a partnership can restore my reputation. My downfall was swift, but with her, my climb to redemption will be greater.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Our arrangement is professional. Appropriate. It has to be, because sheâs half my age. But it doesnât stop me from wanting . . .</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">To move on. To control and indulge in her. To hear the name Macalister Hale echo in her breathy moans.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But I canât. Giving in to temptation led to my undoing before, and I wonât survive it a second time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">To the rest of the world Iâm the villain, but to her? Iâll be the hero.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Redemption is book four in the Filthy Rich Americans Saga and is Macalister Hale's story. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> If someone would have said that my feelings for Macalister Hale would change from how much I loathed him in the first three books, I would not have believed them. The Redemption is the fourth book in the Filthy Rich Americans series by Nikki Sloane and paints the new Macalister or should I call him post-prison Mr. Hale in a different light. Mr. Hale had me wanting to shout his first name </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ma- ca-li-ster</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> in syllables with how hot, sexy, and authoritative he is.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I loved how perfectly written this story is, from the start I could sense secrets lurking behind all the moments of teasing banter, tension, and the moments of heated passion. Macalister and Sophia's connection had me overlook the age gap. Sophia is so down to earth, she lights up a room. I love her strength and her determination to go after what she wants. Macalister had his moments with me, I had to overlook how he manipulated his family in the past to get what he wanted ... that is a guard that should probably stay up with this character. He did win me over with how vulnerable he becomes around Sophia. Macalister is dominant when he needs to be and that brings out such a sexiness to him and when you bring together the flirty submissive side to Sophia made them such the perfect pair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Redemption is everything I wanted and didn't expect in Macalister Hale's story. The lies, secrets, twist and family drama of the rich residents of Cape Hill had me on the edge of my seat. I'm screaming with anticipation for Vance's story. I love everything about this story if I could give it more than 5 stars ... I would.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Excerpt:</strong></div>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Macalisterâs head turned to the operaâs costume room, wordlessly commanding me to go inside, and I carried out his order immediately. He stepped in after me, pulling the door closed with a soft thud, and the tension between us drew taut.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> âHow did you know about this place?â I asked.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> âThe director gave me a tour before I wrote the check.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> We were utterly alone in this room full of costumes. Slips of clothes that allowed people to become a completely different person, and as I stared at him, standing in the shadows between two tall racks, I wanted to be someone else. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I wanted to be the woman heâd fall in love with and break the curse.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> In this seclusion, Macalister was safe to look at me however he wanted, and my heart pounded like fists against the side of a cage trying to break free. He was its captor, and he knew it.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> He stated it like it was an unarguable law. âI own you.â </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> It was the truth, but it was hard to surrender. Iâd given him everything else. Shouldnât I hold on to this last thing and use it to bargain for his heart? I dug deep inside myself, gathering all the strength I had not to give in, and lifted my chin in defiance.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I couldnât say the word, but I hoped my expression told him </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">no</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Rather than look irritated or frustrated, a slow, pleased smile crawled along his lips. Iâd challenged him as best I could, and he was excited Iâd given him the opportunity to prove me wrong.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> It was sexy and terrifying when he charged toward me, and I turned and fled, running as fast as I could in my heels and dress through the maze of towering racks of clothes. It would only be a matter of time before he caught me, and I ran with no intention of escaping, anyway. At the end of the row, I turned blindly to my right and dashed past shelves full of shoes and hats in plastic bins. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> At the edge of the room, the wall was lined with cabinets, a seamstress station, and a bare dress form. There was a large mirror, and I caught a glimpse of myself running, my soft pink dress billowing around my legs, and Macalister behind me.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> He probably could have caught me sooner, but either he was enjoying the chase too much or was waiting to pounce until he had me exactly where he wanted. He grasped me by the elbow and jerked me to a stop, spinning me around so I crashed into his chest, and I let out a grunt of surprise.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Iâd worn my hair up at his request, and so the back of my neck was bare, and his palm slid up to hold me there, steadying me as he dropped his mouth to mine. His untamed kiss brought on delirium. It buzzed through my core, radiating outward.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> But he abruptly tore his lips away, like a possessive child throwing a fit and taking their toys back. âSay it.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Possession was nine tenths of the law, and I felt utterly possessed. âIâm yours.â</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> His eyes widened. It wasnât clear exactly how heâd wanted me to say it, if I was supposed to repeat it word for word, but Iâd gone with the full truth. </span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Beyond His Control is the conclusion to Natalie and Noah's story that begins in Under His Rule by Clarissa Wild. If you haven't read the first book I suggest that you pick it up now and read it to truly understand the twist, mind frame and reasoning behind these characters that are ahead. Find out how this couple first began this dark and suspenseful journey of rebelling and escaping a community that is built on control and rules that are so foreign to a sane person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Beyond His Control definitely hit the spot when it comes to a fierce heroine, a dominant male, and a chemistry that can light up a skyline. It has a chaotic ending that is worth every minute to get to the HEA that Noah and Natalie deserve.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I want to give a big THANK YOU to Jacob Chance for Edge Of Honor. I'm not a big fan of a man using the word Luv (in my opinion it sometimes comes off as mocking) to call a woman but when that word comes out of the lips of Belfast, he can scream or whisper that word all he wants. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let's just say Brennan Collins (Belfast) is not on the FBI's most-wanted list because they want to throw him a party. The FBI need answers, it's just too bad that he's making it difficult to find him. Oh, my goodness! This man of many talents, quick with a gun, and should be given a medal when it comes to his sexiness (in the bedroom). I knew Belfast was going to be a gift, I just didn't expect it to feel like Christmas. Chance gifts us with his words and he just keeps on giving, I'm soo ready for book two.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Once, the name Macalister Hale was uttered in the boardroom with respect. Now, itâs whispered in disgrace at cocktail parties hosted by Bostonâs elite.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">To move on. To control and indulge in her. To hear the name Macalister Hale echo in her breathy moans.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">But I canât. Giving in to temptation led to my undoing before, and I wonât survive it a second time.</span></div>

<b>I never dreamed Iâd meet my celebrity crush while stealing every single pair of my best friendâs pants. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Trust me, my life is not that wild. In fact, the most excitement I usually get is running my fan-favorite Insta thirst account featuring butt-tastic pics of Hollywood superhero Carter Hayes. So, imagine my shock when, in the middle of the cruise ship hallway, I realize the guy whose shirt I'm stuffing slacks inside of is Carter disguised as a tourist. How I manage not to faint dead away, I've got no clue. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When word leaks that Carter might be on board, he asks me to help him maintain his cover. Thereâs no way Iâm gonna say no to that. I just don't share that Iâm the anonymous woman behind the fan account that reported sighting him onboard. No biggie. Right? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">However, when things between us go from friendly to hot to OMG-I-canât-keep-my-clothes-on-around-him, all I can do is hope he never discovers my secret. You see, somewhere along the way, Carter went from an untouchable movie star to the man Iâm falling for.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Attracting Aubrey by Avery Flynn is a cute romantic comedy. An Insta-famous fangirl meets her celebrity superhero crush while on a cruise. Aubrey is on a singles cruise with her best friends. The character's biggest problem is that she reacts before she thinks about things, which leads her to post a celebrity lookalike sighting on her IG page. Carter Hayes needs space from the limelight, for his sake he needs to remain anonymous throughout the cruise. Carter needs a plan to keep the fans away so he enlists the help of his next-door pant stealing prankster not knowing that she was the one who posted his location on her social page.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This story has fun and steamy moments, this couple's chemistry is instant, and Aubrey's secret calls for some heartbreaking moments. I did enjoy this story but I was missing the character connection that I really love in a story. </span></span></div>

<b>Excerpt: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This was beyond a doubt the weirdest experience Carter Hayes had ever had and he'd once spent six hours on a green screen sound stage wearing a CGI suit and pretending to fight a one-eyed zombie giant with poisonous farts. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> When he'd turned the corner and found the cute blonde giggling to herself as she pulled one pair of pants after another out of a suitcase, he thought she might be a little touched, as his grandmother used to say. When she held one pair up in the air and declared she was freeing Grace's sexy thighs, he figured she was drunk already. And just when he thought it couldn't get more bizarre, she managed to pull him in as an accessory to pants theft and now she wanted him to shove four pairs of pants down his shirt? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> This was a mistake. It would only draw attention to himself when he was supposed to be observing others, not be observed. The last thing he needed was for anyone to realize that he wasn't mild mannered dental laboratory technician Carter Van Stettle from Iowa. This cruise was his opportunity to prove to indie-darling director Kennedy Howard that he could disappear into a part, that movie goers could look up at the big screen and see him as anyone other than The Admiral. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> He was all ready to return the pants to their rightful owner and be on his way. It was the smart thing to do. Then, the thief beside him said please and, well, one could only play the most debonair superhero to ever top the box office for so long before some of the character stuck to them. He stuffed the stupid pants up his shirt and tucked the hem of it into his shorts to keep them from falling out. The special effects team on his last movie would have laughed their asses off, but the pants' paunch effect was actually pretty good.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She fell in love with romance while reading Johanna Lindseyâs Mallory books. It wasnât long before Avery had read through all the romance offerings at her local library. Needing a romance fix, she turned to Harlequinâs four books a month home delivery service to ease the withdrawal symptoms. That worked for a short time, but it wasnât long before the local book storesâ staff knew her by name.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Avery was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.</span></div>

cave underneath me, and I sink to the ground, but Noah comes down along with
me, holding me all the way through my pain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">âPunch me.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">âWhy?â I

said those words before, and it opens a wound inside me I didnât know existed.

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And he does
