<i><i>It was just a typical Monday.</i></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Or so I thought…</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>And that was the good part of my day.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Because the gorgeous man crouched down and looking at me like he wanted to eat me alive, was none other than my ex, Gray Westbrook.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A man who I’d only just begun to move on from.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A man who my heart despised—yet my body obviously still had other ideas about.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A man who was as charismatic and confident as he was sexy.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Somehow, I managed to make it through my presentation ignoring his intense stare. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Although it was impossible to ignore all the dirty things he whispered into my ear right after I was done.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>But there was no way I was giving him another chance, especially now that he was a client…was there?</i></div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">BOOK REVIEW: 5 STARS</span></u></b></div>
As always, Vi Keeland has delivered an absolute must-read! Just when I thought this was a lighter book, the rug was taken right from under me.<br />
<br />
The first half of the book is mostly spent with us meeting Gray and Layla. We got to see what had happened to them both individually and as a couple and why they were how they were currently.<br />
<br />
Then IT happened.<br />
<br />
Vi Keeland threw a curveball I sure as hell did not see coming and that surprise shaped the entire second half of the book. The story stopped being light and funny and it became quite the emotional rollercoaster. There were times where my heart physically ached for Gray AND for Layla! Let’s just say, Gray was a GOOD man, dammit, but he and Layla could not catch a break at times.<br />
<br />
Anyway, THAT is all I really CAN say and keep this a spoiler-free review.<br />
<br />
Do know that you will fall in love with Gray and root for him from the very beginning. You will want him to succeed in every way possible because like I said, he is a GOOD man and not to mention, swoony AF.<br />
<br />
What a fantastic read! Truly a 5 star book that I highly recommend you grab!<br />

<br />
“May I get you something to drink while you wait for the rest of your party?” the waiter asked.<br />
<br />
I would normally wait to see what the client did and follow his lead on alcohol. But tonight was not the norm. <br />
<br />
I rubbed at my stiff neck. “I’ll take a vodka cranberry, please.” <br />
<br />
I hoped it would help calm my nerves and release some of the tension in my jaw before I gave myself a full-blown headache. Taking out my phone, I started to scroll through emails to distract myself while waiting for my drink and dinner companion.<br />
<br />
My head whipped up at the sound of Gray’s voice behind me. “Sorry I’m late.”<br />
<br />
My heart unexpectedly fluttered, and I fought against the feeling of excitement. “Are you really? Because I get the sense you don’t have any manners after the way you interrupted me a million times today.”<br />
<br />
He completely ignored my attitude as he took the seat across from me. “Traffic is a bitch getting downtown at this time. Next time we’ll have dinner at my place.”<br />
<br />
“There won’t be a next time.”<br />
<br />
Gray’s mouth curved into a smug smile as he snagged my gaze. “Sure there will. There’ll be plenty of next times. And eventually you’ll stop pretending you don’t enjoy my company.”<br />
<br />
I hated that my body reacted to him. Right from the very start, we’d had a crazy chemistry between us that was difficult to dull. <br />
<br />
I sighed. “What are you doing, Gray? Why did you come to my firm?”<br />
<br />
He lifted the cloth napkin in front of him and laid it across his lap. “Isn’t that obvious? I need new legal representation.”</div>
<div class="Body">
<br />
“At my firm? And you’d prefer that representation come from an associate instead of my boss’s boss—the head of our securities division? Or even from Pittman, who would gladly hold your hand and provide you whatever legal advice you need from his fifty-plus years of experience?”<br />
<br />
“Loyalty is important to me. I want someone I can trust with my business.”<br />
<br />
“And you’ve decided that’s me? An associate with five years experience who just got off probation with the Bar Association for violating attorney-client privilege?”<br />
<br />
The waiter arrived with my drink. “Here you go, ma’am.” He turned to Gray. “May I get you something to drink? Or would you like to wait until the last of your party joins you this evening?”<br />
<br />
“It’s just the two of us. I’ll have a Macallan, neat, please.”<br />
<br />
“Coming right up.” The waiter walked around to the other side of the table and started to remove the third place setting. <br />
<br />
I put my hand out, stopping him. “We actually do have another party coming, so you can leave that.”<br />
<br />
“Very well.” He nodded.<br />
<br />
Gray waited until the waiter was out of earshot. “I didn’t invite anyone else to dinner.”<br />
<br />
I sipped my drink and offered a saccharine-sweet fake smile. “I did. Figured an important client like you should have more than one attorney to answer his questions.” <br />
<br />
Just as I set down my glass, I saw the other man I was waiting to enter the restaurant. He scanned the room, looking for me, so I held up my hand and waved. <br />
<br />
“Perfect timing. There’s Oliver now.”<br />
<br />
Gray glanced at the man heading toward us and back to me. Instead of being pissed off, the jerk was amused. “That’s cute. You invited a chaperone because you don’t trust yourself with me.”</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">BOOK REVIEW: 5 STARS</span></b></div>
What a pleasant surprise. I absolutely LOVED this book. From the author’s writing style to the characters to the story, everything was amazing! Quite the page-turner! <br /><br />Thorn and Alexandra’s story isn’t one that I can say “I’ve heard before” and I truly enjoyed that. <br /><br />Meeting wasn’t planned or expected, but it was surely destined! Both business owners and in the same field, more or less, it was bound to happen. The way it did, however, was perfect. <br /><br />Thorne wanted some downtime from the craziness that his job added to his life, so he decided to stay at a hotel away from the city. Coincidentally, a hotel (marina and so much more) owned by Alexandra. What started off as an escape, turned into the rest of his life...because you know, fate. <br /><br />I found myself giggling at some of the remarks in the book. And the things that happened to Thorne? LOL! Sometimes I felt like he couldn’t catch a break! <br /><br />The secondary characters really added some sass too, let me tell ya! Rosa, especially, had me laughing out loud more times than not. <br /><br />And Joy — oh my goodness, bless her heart!!!!!! (Said with the full southern meaning behind it, of course, LOL!) That woman could not take a hint! Sweet Lord Jesus, she drove me insane. <br /><br />Anyway, as the story progressed, I felt anxious knowing that shit would hit the fan soon, and man, the anticipation was killing me! The secrets, oh my!! I needed to know how it would all unfold, so I found myself glued to my kindle, reading...until I was done. <br /><br />I am happy to report that Stori Summers has gained a fan!!! I truly enjoyed this book so, so, so much!!! Will definitely be checking out the rest of the upcoming books in the series and anything she’s published. FIVE STARS!!<br /><table border="0" cellspacing="1" class="myActivity" style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%px;"><tbody>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">EXCERPT</span></u></b></div>
She moved her hand from my shoulder and slid it down my chest. I thought she was going to push me back. I slid my hand down her back wanting to pull her closer, but I resisted knowing I’d probably already pushed her to her limit.<br />
<br />
<i>I could kiss your sweet mouth all night, and I would love every second.</i><br />
<br />
She drew back, her hand still on my chest. Alexandra looked up at me and I could see a mixture of emotion in her eyes. “What is it?”<br />
<br />
“So many people come and go. I can’t just—”<br />
<br />
“If this thing between us turns to something more, you won’t be able to get rid of me,” I said realizing as the words came spilling out of my mouth that they were much more forthcoming than I’d intended them to be.<br />
<br />
I was afraid for a moment that I’d probably just scared her away. Instead, she grabbed the front of my shirt and pulled me close. “Then I guess the only thing to do is give this a real shot,” she said as my arms wrapped around her.<br />
<br />
Alexandra’s lean arms crossed at the back of my neck as she pulled me in closer. The soft curve of her breasts pushed against my chest making my body ache to feel her against my skin in a way that I couldn’t ever remember feeling before.<br />
<br />
Everywhere her body touched mine came alive.<br />
<br />
My tongue delved into her open mouth. I let out a groan as I tasted her deeply, gathering her even closer to me. She couldn’t possibly know how much she was undoing me with her kiss.<br />
<br />
She drew on my tongue with her mouth in a sweet suction that made my already hard shaft throb with need.</div>

<b><u>MEET THE AUTHOR:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was born in the southern United States in 1975. My family moved around so often that Anywhere, USA became home; as long as it was below the Mason Dixon line. I started college at Northwestern State University of Louisiana, but after three semesters decided I lacked the desire to follow the daily routine and strict schedule required to be a successful college student. I was a wild card...an ADHD poster child.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day I realized that my life had been scattered, and in that moment I could suddenly, and clearly see the results of a life that held no sense of direction. It was my life, and a life that embarrassed me because of my lack of accomplishments. With different careers and life experiences littering my past, I turned to the one thing I had always been good at...being creative.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was good at thinking up exciting tales which was a result of always wanting to be more and live a bigger life. I was a dreamer with a large imagination. I decided that it is never too late, and life was too short to not leave something behind for others. For the first time, writing made me feel accomplished. All my scattered thoughts and meandering paths that I had traveled suddenly made sense. Though my experiences didn't lead to any great accomplishments in my younger years, they are now finding their place in the characters of my stories. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am very excited to offer bits and pieces of my life experiences, fantasies, and observations to you in the form of words on a page. I am loosely woven through the pages of my books and I look forward to meeting you there.</div>

<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was just a typical Monday.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Or so I thought…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And that was the good part of my day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Because the gorgeous man crouched down and looking at me like he wanted to eat me alive, was none other than my ex, Gray Westbrook.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A man who I’d only just begun to move on from.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A man who my heart despised—yet my body obviously still had other ideas about.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A man who was as charismatic and confident as he was sexy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Somehow, I managed to make it through my presentation ignoring his intense stare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although it was impossible to ignore all the dirty things he whispered into my ear right after I was done.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But there was no way I was giving him another chance, especially now that he was a client…was there?</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms" , sans-serif;"><br clear="all" style="mso-special-character: line-break; page-break-before: always;" />

Ray Cross wasn’t a hero; he could die too easily. But some things are worth risking death...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ray Cross was born with a genetic disorder, resulting in a fragile body; his organs and blood vessels will rupture with any hard impact, so standing up to his best friend's controlling boyfriend could kill him.</div>

<b><u>REVIEW: 5 STARS</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
D.A. Roach has the ability and talent to create a world that sucks you in right from the very first page and doesn’t let go until the very last one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a truly FANTASTIC YA novel. Whether you enjoy this genre or haven’t read it yet, this book is a must. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely loved Ray’s character (Cross). Going from a “normal” life to discovering he’s really the son of a King AND he’s got a twin brother he never knew about?? Talk about a life-changing afternoon! But even more than his cool life, I loved his easy-going attitude! His quirky comments made me laugh more than once and I also admired how despite his condition, he spoke his mind and did what he believed to be right...always. (I may or may not have squealed when Lauren and him kissed...just saying!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, there’s a romantic flame burning in the background, but this book is so much more. Once at Yardis, Ray and newly discovered brother, Torin, discover the truth behind who they really were and everything that had happened throughout the years to the village and its people. Curses, powers, barriers, forbidden romances...oh my!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously, GRAB THIS BOOK. If you want to dive into an amazing world that will truly have you glued to the pages, this is the book you want. D.A. Roach truly delivered a must read!!! FIVE STARS!!</div>

<b><u>MEET THE AUTHOR:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
D.A. Roach is a USA Today Bestselling author who has been telling stories since she was a young girl in the suburbs of Chicago. D.A. did not find a love for books until after college. Her parents were immigrants from Lithuania and found tv and radio easier ways to hear stories so they did not do much reading or encourage it. But once she finished college and D.A. had free time, she discovered how amazing it was to get lost in a story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
D.A. is a full time mom and wife. When she is not doing domestic things (laundry, bills, etc) she is writing, reading, creating mixed media art, advocating for a rare disorder, and gardening. Oh, and she is ALWAYS listening to music. Her favorite authors include Rebecca Donovan, Richelle Mead, Larissa Ione, Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, and Nicole Williams. Reading great works from authors like these has motivated D.A. to write her own stories. She hopes to make positive changes in the world with her art and writing.</div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">REVIEW: 5 STARS</span></u></b></div>
Ever since meeting Kale in the previous installments, I was intrigued. I loved seeing him interact with Rex’s kids and loved how much he loved them. I knew he was always family-oriented despite letting his past get the best of his present.<br />
<br />
This book was more emotional than anything. Evan, that sweet, sweet little boy walked right into my heart. I was so scared for him the entire time and my heart was constantly breaking!<br />
<br />
Hope was an AMAZING mother. So, so, SO strong!!!! She and Evan were in many ways what Kale was terrified of, but exactly what he needed to face in order to start living again. Fate is an amazing thing...<br />
<br />
This book—gosh, THIS BOOK. Get it. Experience it. Fall in love with not only a set of phenomenal character but an epic story.<br />
<br />
FIVE STARS.</div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">REVIEW: *6* STARS!!!!</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
OH. MY. GOSH. This book has ruined me in the best way possible. </div>
<br />
The rumors were true. You NEED TISSUES for this one. Tons and tons of tissues. I cried practically the whole time! For sure I cried the entire first 70% of this book consecutively. Then, even as I felt my shattered heart healing, I still cried!<br />
<br />
Patrick. God, what a MAN. Seriously. I still feel like crying just thinking of him!!! He was PERFECT. Everything he did for Sawyer and his daughter... From housework to the letters!!!! OMG. *sigh* My heart...... THE FEELS, you guys!! THE FEELS.<br />
<br />
Then, we also had Gage, Patrick’s best friend. So understanding, patient, kind, and LOVING. Now, of course, I NEED a romantic HEA in my books so I was super happy to see Gage and Sawyer find comfort in each other. C A Harms developed this slow burn flawlessly. They had so much to work through and it all went at the perfect pace. The guilt they felt was understandable and seeing them work through it, seeing them open up that side of them that was in many ways broken was beautiful.<br />
<br />
Guys, seriously, READ THIS BOOK.<br />
<br />
An emotional, heart-shattering book that will have you smiling and sighing with content by the time you’re done reading.<br />
<br />
A top 2018 Favorite.<br />
SIX STARS!!</div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: medium;">EXCERPT:</span></u></b></div>
I sat in the darkness with my legs curled up in the chair, my body shielded by the large blanket I had wrapped around me. I’d thought of going to bed a long time ago, but instead, I was listening to the Pat’s breathing patterns.<br />
<br />
This was his third night sleeping in the hospital bed in the center of our living room, and though he hated it, I knew it was easier for him to sleep on than our old worn out couch.<br />
<br />
Each night after he’d fallen asleep, I tried to go to bed, but I eventually found myself back in the living room, watching him and listening to his breathing. I guess I needed it for my piece of mind. Though his breaths were weak and labored, I still needed to be able to hear them. I think in some weird way it was comforting.<br />
<br />
When he was asleep he wasn’t angry or fighting to push people away. He was just peaceful. I needed to see him this way, I guess, because the hard times were beginning to drown out those happy memories and each day I found it more and more difficult to hold myself together.<br />
<br />
The room was dark, save for the illumination from the light above the sink in the kitchen. The gentle hum of the refrigerator was the only other sound. I’m not sure at what point I allowed myself to fall asleep, but I was jolted awake by the sound of his raspy voice filtering through the darkness.<br />
<br />
“Sawyer.”<br />
<br />
I sat up straight and the cover slipped from my shoulders as I leaned forward, looking him over from head to toe. My heart raced as the thought of being here alone with him when something catastrophic happened. The moment my eyes reached his, I found him staring back at me.<br />
<br />
“Is everything okay?” He shook his head, and my heart seized in my chest. I stood and walked toward his bed, my hands shaking as I did my best to stay in control of my fears. “What hurts?”<br />
<br />
He lifted his hand and rested it over his heart.<br />
<br />
I stared at him in confusion.<br />
<br />
“I’m sorry.” I could sense whatever it was on his mind was hard for him to face as his eyes shimmered with unshed tears. “Please don’t hate me.”<br />
<br />
Suddenly it was hard to breathe.<br />
<br />
“Why would I hate you?” I took his hand and offered a gentle squeeze. “I could never hate you, Patrick.”<br />
<br />
“I’ve been such an ass and knowing this, but unable to control it breaks me.”<br />
<br />
“You’re going through so much,” I said as I sat on the edge of his bed.<br />
<br />
“So are you.”<br />
<br />
I closed my eyes for only a moment when he ran his fingers through my hair that hung loose over my shoulders. “I’ve allowed the fear to consume me and gave it the power to make me forget what I have. I’m just scared.”<br />
<br />
I opened my eyes, and his cheeks were wet from the tears he tried to control.<br />
<br />
“I’m so scared of everything I’m gonna miss. I’m scared of not being here to protect you an Abigail.” He took in a shuddering breath. “I don’t want you to be alone, Sawyer.”<br />

<div>
<br />Being in love with someone who doesn’t love you back sucks. </div>
<div>
<br />Being in love with your brother’s best friend sucks even more, because you know it can never happen. How tragic is that?<br /><br />I’ve been in love with Lincoln Andrews since we were kids and he stuck up for me against my brother and played tea parties with me in the treehouse. I’ve also avoided him for the past year because he broke my heart…more than once.<br /><br />Now we’ve been thrown together at a tropical resort to celebrate my parents’ second wedding, and things are intense and getting worse, no thanks to an insane plan my friends cooked up to get me my dream man.<br /><br />No one else even comes close to what Linc means to me. He’s always there for me, but is it because he cares for me too—or only because I’m his best friend’s little sister? <br /><br />It’s time I find out once and for all…but what if our crazy plan blows up in my face and ruins everything?</div>

<b><u>REVIEW: 5 STARS</u></b></div>
Ever since meeting Indie in book 1, Bailey and the Bad Boy, and seeing how madly in love she was with her brother's best friend, I wanted to know more about her and Lincoln. I wanted to read about their "impossible" situation and see if they'd figure a way around their predicament.<br /><br />The moment I got my hands on this book, I was a goner!! This story had my full attention and there wasn't a thing that would make me stop reading...well, aside from the fact that I had to sleep, that is. <br /><br />Indie had been in love with Lincoln all her life. He was always there alongside her brother, making sure Indie was always safe and taken care of. He made sure any and all boys stayed away from her too. Indie just thought he was protective of her because he saw her as a little sister. She hoped to be wrong but Lincoln never showed her otherwise. In fact, whenever they'd have a moment, he'd make sure to push her away rather quickly. She never knew which way was up or down with him. <br /><br />So she left. <br /><br />A few years later, she's forced to face the music. Her parents are renewing their wedding vows and they're both in the wedding. Now, of course, an already stressful situation was made even more stressful (but comically so) for Indie because her and Bailey's best friend, Jack, decided to be her pretend boyfriend. Out of the blue. Now, mind you, Jack is gay, so in reality, there was NOTHING there between them, but it was fun seeing him push Linc's buttons. Jack knew that would light a fire under his butt and get him to admit to Indie, and himself, how he really felt. <br /><br />The chemical attraction and sexual tension between Indie and Linc SIZZLED. Holy cow, did it ever. I was READY for them to finally be together! In more ways than one, if you know what I mean, LOL! <br /><br />Anyway, this book was seriously REALLY GOOD and one I recommend you grab! I love Lincoln....and Jack LOL!! It was amazing seeing Ryder and Bailey (#RyderFreakingJones!!) and I cannot wait for Harper and Nate's book! Eek!!

</b>I smiled at her. It wasn’t a friendly smile. It was sinister. Her eyes widened, and she moved back on the rock, knowing I was coming for her.<br /><br />“You better lose that dress real quick, Princess. I’d hate for it to get wrecked.” I crept closer. Panic marred her features. She knew all too well that I meant what I said. <br /><br />“You wouldn’t.” She held her hands out to stop me.<br /><br />“Come on, you know me better than that. You’re getting in this water. It’s just up to you whether your pretty dress is coming in with you.” I turned my back to her. “You have until the count of three. If you’re not in the water by then, I’m turning around regardless of whether you’re still dressed or not.”<br /><br />“Linc, I’m not skinny-dipping with you.” Her voice quivered a touch with nerves.<br /><br />I chuckled. “No one said anything about skinny-dipping, but please don’t let me stop you if you feel inclined to swim naked.” I reached for the waistband of my boxers, and intending to mess with her a little more, I removed them completely. “I might just join you.” I threw my underwear over my shoulder and onto the rock.<br /><br />I was surely going to hell for this.<br /><br />“Linc! Oh, my god!” I looked over my shoulder at her to find her face buried in her hands.<br /><br />“To the count of three, Indie,” I warned one last time.<br /><br />She huffed. <br /><br />What was I doing? She was Nate’s sister.<br /><br />“One.”<br /><br />And she had Jack-ass for a boyfriend.<br /><br />“Two.” <br /><br />She was completely off limits.<br /><br />“Three.”<br /><br />It was silent. I turned to find her standing on the rock, twisting her hands nervously in front of her. Her dress…at her feet. <br /><br />I gulped.<br /><br />Lace. White lace. Matching.<br /><br />Hell. <br /><br />I was going to hell.<br /><br />And I didn’t care. I didn’t care that she was Nate’s sister. I didn’t care that she had a boyfriend. I didn’t care that she was entirely off limits. She was mine. Always had been. And one way or another, I wasn’t leaving this island without getting what I wanted.<br /><div class="MsoNormal">

<i>Glen Hawley is care-worn and just plain wore out. He gave up a law enforcement career to save his family, only to find himself on the wrong side of progress and teetering on bankruptcy. He needs a reason to get up in the morning… a reason to fight.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The old saw—be careful what you wish for— comes home to roost when the fight lands on his doorstep in a hail of bullets.

<b><u>REVIEW: 5 STARS</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not often that you find a brand new-to-you author and you truly connect with their writing style, but when it does happen, it's epic. That's exactly the situation here with me and Thunder Basin by Nya Rawlyns. For some reason, the book called to me and boy, I'm glad it did!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The way the author wrote, not just the dialogue but the general story, felt so real!! It was truly authentic to the "western lifestyle" and I loved that! Down to the boots comment which had me laughing out loud! That's the type of comment you'd hear a real, legit cowboy say! You can tell Nya Rawlyns knows her ranch/livestock lifestyle!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also really liked Ava's character! LOVED how she and Glenn met, and her sassy attitude which was exactly what Glenn needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you love Western Romantic Suspense novels, you really must give this one a try! I read it in one sitting! Started it last night and stayed up late finishing it. :) LOVED it! A must-read!</div>

“Open the shirt, but leave it on.”<br />
<br />
Ava spread the fabric apart, revealing a silky undergarment that looked flimsy and nothing like the lacy bra he’d expected. He peeked over her shoulder, assessing its purpose.<br />
<br />
“It’s a camisole. With a built-in bra.” She flashed a naughty smile, pleased she’d one-upped his plans.<br />
<br />
“Is it expensive?”<br />
<br />
“No, but…”<br />
<br />
Glenn snapped first one strap, then the other, allowing the confection to drift like a peach cloud around her trim waist.<br />
<br />
Ava grimaced. “I liked that one.”<br />
<br />
“I’ll buy you a dozen in different colors.” He fingered the fabric, then growled, “Take it off,” allowing his cop voice to fall into a lower register.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>My relationship with Hunter Delucia started backwards. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We met at a wedding—him sitting on the groom’s side, me sitting on the bride’s. Stealing glances at each other throughout the night, there was no denying an intense, mutual attraction. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I caught the bouquet; he caught the garter. Hunter held me tightly while we danced and suggested we explore the chemistry sparking between us. His blunt, dirty mouth should’ve turned me off. But for some crazy reason, it had the opposite effect on me.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We ended up back in my hotel room. The next morning, I headed home to New York leaving him behind in California with the wrong number.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I thought about him often, but after my last relationship, I’d sworn off of charming, cocky, gorgeous-as-sin men. A year later, Hunter and I met again at the birth of our friends’ baby. Our attraction hadn't dulled one bit. After a whirlwind trip, he demanded a real phone number this time. So I left him with my mother’s—she could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage—and flew back home.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I’d thought it was funny, until the following week when he rang the bell at Mom’s house for Sunday night dinner. The crazy, gorgeous man had won over my mother and taken an eight-week assignment in my city. He proposed we spend that time screwing each other out of our systems. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Eight weeks of mind-blowing sex with no strings attached? What did I have to lose?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Nothing, I thought.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>It’s just sex, not love.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>But you know what they say about the best laid plans…</i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>REVIEW: *6* STARS</b></u></span></div>
Vi Keeland cannot write a bad book...EVER. It's not in her DNA. It's like asking water not to be wet. And I honestly don't know <i>how</i> she does it because <i>man</i>, her books keep getting better and <i>better</i>. <i>Sex, Not Love</i> was SO MUCH MORE than what the blurb provides. So. Much. More. And don't get me wrong, the blurb was intriguing, but OMG, <i>this book</i>.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As always, her hero was beyond what the term swoon-worthy could possibly describe. Hunter was not only attractive (and by attractive, I mean flipping HOT), but he was humble, funny, down-to-earth, and had quite frankly, YUMMY. That man had quite the dirty mouth too! *wink* His "baggage" was heart-shattering, though. Not only was the situation by itself sad but then come to find out a detail within <i>that</i> situation...? <i>Wow</i>. I found myself literally saying out loud "oh, my gosh, no!". Vi Keeland evoked a lot of emotions from me with this book. A lot. From laughter to tears, my emotions were all over the place while reading!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Natalia...man, I loved her character! From her sassy remarks to her conversations with Anna (SO DAMN REALISTIC!) to her relationship with her step-daughter, Izzy. Her character was one I connected with and truly enjoyed reading about. I loved that Hunter challenged her, but I loved, even more, how in the end it was <i>her</i> who challenged <i>him.</i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, really, I won't say anything about the plot because you need to read it, but just <i>know</i> that Vi Keeland once more hit a home-run. <b>This book was flawless and perfect</b>. It's kicked off my <b><u>2018 Top Favorite Books List</u></b> with a bang!! I was left feeling all-kinds of hungover after finishing this one. SIX STARS.</div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">EXCERPT REVEAL</span></u></b></div>
I sat in the darkness with my legs curled up in the chair, my body shielded by the large blanket I had wrapped around me. I’d thought of going to bed a long time ago, but instead, I was listening to the Pat’s breathing patterns.<br />
<br />
This was his third night sleeping in the hospital bed in the center of our living room, and though he hated it, I knew it was easier for him to sleep on than our old worn out couch.<br />
<br />
Each night after he’d fallen asleep, I tried to go to bed, but I eventually found myself back in the living room, watching him and listening to his breathing. I guess I needed it for my piece of mind. Though his breaths were weak and labored, I still needed to be able to hear them. I think in some weird way it was comforting.<br />
<br />
When he was asleep he wasn’t angry or fighting to push people away. He was just peaceful. I needed to see him this way, I guess, because the hard times were beginning to drown out those happy memories and each day I found it more and more difficult to hold myself together.<br />
<br />
The room was dark, save for the illumination from the light above the sink in the kitchen. The gentle hum of the refrigerator was the only other sound. I’m not sure at what point I allowed myself to fall asleep, but I was jolted awake by the sound of his raspy voice filtering through the darkness.<br />
<br />
“Sawyer.”<br />
<br />
I sat up straight and the cover slipped from my shoulders as I leaned forward, looking him over from head to toe. My heart raced as the thought of being here alone with him when something catastrophic happened. The moment my eyes reached his, I found him staring back at me.<br />
<br />
“Is everything okay?” He shook his head, and my heart seized in my chest. I stood and walked toward his bed, my hands shaking as I did my best to stay in control of my fears. “What hurts?”<br />
<br />
He lifted his hand and rested it over his heart.<br />
<br />
I stared at him in confusion.<br />
<br />
“I’m sorry.” I could sense whatever it was on his mind was hard for him to face as his eyes shimmered with unshed tears. “Please don’t hate me.”<br />
<br />
Suddenly it was hard to breathe.<br />
<br />
“Why would I hate you?” I took his hand and offered a gentle squeeze. “I could never hate you, Patrick.”<br />
<br />
“I’ve been such an ass and knowing this, but unable to control it breaks me.”<br />
<br />
“You’re going through so much,” I said as I sat on the edge of his bed.<br />
<br />
“So are you.”<br />
<br />
I closed my eyes for only a moment when he ran his fingers through my hair that hung loose over my shoulders. “I’ve allowed the fear to consume me and gave it the power to make me forget what I have. I’m just scared.”<br />
<br />
I opened my eyes, and his cheeks were wet from the tears he tried to control.<br />
<br />
“I’m so scared of everything I’m gonna miss. I’m scared of not being here to protect you and Abigail.” He took in a shuddering breath. “I don’t want you to be alone, Sawyer.”<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">REVIEW: 5 STARS</span></u></b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
A page-turning sequel!! Jameson and Sophia’s suspenseful story continues in this second installment in the Foundlings series! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This book picks up right where book 1 left off and while we got a lot of questions answered, there’s still so much more to be revealed. The general storyline following these characters is truly addictive!! I can’t get enough. Gosh, I need book 3! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jameson is as always very swoon-worthy. His devotion to Sophia will make anyone’s heart melt. He’s her protector through and through and would do absolutely anything to keep her safe, to make her happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sophia isn’t the strongest 18-year-old, but can you blame her? Going through everything she’s already experienced and now all of what’s happening? I’d be having back-to-back panic attacks too! Good thing she has Jameson bu her side. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fiona Keane’s writing is truly amazing. I am so glad I have found her because she’s quickly become one of my favorite authors! She’s now on my auto-purchase list because I KNOW I will love her stories. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Go grab this book! If you haven’t read Nowhere Girl, start there because books in this YA Romantic series must be read in order. You won’t be sorry, I promise! FIVE STARS!!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Fueled by coffee and rainy days, shelves of books consuming her home in the Pacific Northwest, and a vivid imagination, Fiona writes about love because she believes the world needs more of it. She could spend eternity lost in a story, taken into someone’s thoughts while she is left lingering there long after the pages have turned. Fiona works to meld themes in the current world and spin them into stories of longing, determination, and hope. Her characters are relatable and relevant, as they battle their own fictional version of existence.</div>

<b>Vi Keeland </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>My relationship with Hunter Delucia started backwards. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We met at a wedding—him sitting on the groom’s side, me sitting on the bride’s. Stealing glances at each other throughout the night, there was no denying an intense, mutual attraction. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I caught the bouquet; he caught the garter. Hunter held me tightly while we danced and suggested we explore the chemistry sparking between us. His blunt, dirty mouth should’ve turned me off. But for some crazy reason, it had the opposite effect on me.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We ended up back in my hotel room. The next morning, I headed home to New York leaving him behind in California with the wrong number.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I thought about him often, but after my last relationship, I’d sworn off of charming, cocky, gorgeous-as-sin men. A year later, Hunter and I met again at the birth of our friends’ baby. Our attraction hadn't dulled one bit. After a whirlwind trip, he demanded a real phone number this time. So I left him with my mother’s—she could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage—and flew back home.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I’d thought it was funny, until the following week when he rang the bell at Mom’s house for Sunday night dinner. The crazy, gorgeous man had won over my mother and taken an eight-week assignment in my city. He proposed we spend that time screwing each other out of our systems. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Eight weeks of mind-blowing sex with no strings attached? What did I have to lose?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Nothing, I thought.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>It’s just sex, not love.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>But you know what they say about the best laid plans…</i></div>

<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">EXCERPT REVEAL</span></b></u><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“You’re
not going anywhere before you do two things.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“Two
things?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“Leave
your number and kiss me goodbye.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“I…I…you
haven’t brushed your teeth.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">Hunter
chuckled. It felt like he could see through all of my bullshit. Reaching over
to the nightstand, he grabbed his phone and held it out to me before getting
up. “Toothpaste in the bathroom still?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“The
little one the hotel sets out.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“I’ll
brush. You type.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">While
he was in the bathroom, I mulled over not typing anything into his phone. There
was no way I was keeping in touch with a man living three-thousand miles away.
A guy like him was the last thing I needed. But then I thought better of
just <em><span style="border: none 1.0pt; font-family: "georgia"; padding: 0in;">telling</span></em> him
I’d put my number in. He seemed to have figured me out pretty quick. So
instead, I typed my name and number, only I changed the last two digits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">And
it was a good thing I did, because when Hunter returned from his bathroom trip,
the first thing he did was check that I’d entered something. Luckily, he didn’t
attempt to call me. Satisfied, he tossed his phone on the bed and nodded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“Thank
you. Now kiss me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">I
could see he wasn’t going to let me leave without this. So, sacrificing to make
my plane, I pushed up on my toes and delivered a quick peck to his lips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<em><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #444444; font-family: "georgia"; padding: 0in;">Mmm....
Nice and soft.</span></em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">(And
minty fresh.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“Well…it
was nice to meet you.” I turned to dart out the door, but Hunter grabbed my
wrist yet again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“I
said kiss me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“I
did!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">“Kiss
me the way you kissed me last night.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">Before
I could even attempt to let that sink in, Hunter yanked me against him. One of
his large hands cupped the back of my neck, and he squeezed firmly to direct my
head where he wanted it. Then, his lips crashed down on mine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">The
shock of feeling his mouth against mine quickly dissipated as he licked my
lips, encouraging me to open for him. His tongue dipped inside, and he groaned
as he tilted my head and deepened the kiss. The vibration of the sound traveled
between us and sent a hum through my body. Soft and gentle went out the window
after that. He grabbed a fistful of my ass, and I lifted my body up onto his,
wrapping my legs around his waist. As he backed us to the wall, a sense of
familiarity overcame me. I couldn’t remember the specifics of our previous
kiss, but I now knew deep inside what it had felt like.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">My
cell dropped from my hand so my fingers could tangle in his hair. Yanking on
the soft strands, I couldn’t get enough. A moan from deep inside my chest moved
through our connected mouths. Hunter pushed harder, his thick erection pressing
into the center of my open legs. He rocked as he kissed me, causing a friction
through two layers of clothing that was leading me to a place I didn’t think it
was possible to go fully dressed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">It
felt like he wanted to swallow me whole, and in that moment, I would have let
him. My breasts were crushed to his chest, and a heartbeat raged out of
control—only I wasn’t sure if it was my own or his. <em><span style="border: none 1.0pt; font-family: "georgia"; padding: 0in;">Jesus, where does a man learn to kiss like this?</span></em><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">I
was breathless and stunned when our kiss broke. Hunter sucked on my bottom lip,
tugging it before releasing my mouth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">His
voice was strained. “Change your flight. We’re not done here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia";">I
swallowed, trying to gain some composure. “I can’t.” My voice was barely a
whisper. It was all I could muster.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.25in; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt;">“Can’t
or don’t want to?”</span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">REVIEW: 5 STARS</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Broderick is one delicious piece of man candy! *waves self* Oh, my. A hot, dirty-talking lawyer?? Yes, please!!! I also love a badass female lead and Lilly was just that! She did not take crap from anyone, especially Brody! Their chemistry? Yeah, it sizzled!!! Holy hotness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While this was a quick, short read, it still packed a punch. It had passion, drama, and some emotional angst to keep me glued throughout the story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Five stars to this one and I cannot wait to read the next installment in the series! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>My relationship with Hunter Delucia started backwards. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We met at a wedding—him sitting on the groom’s side, me sitting on the bride’s. Stealing glances at each other throughout the night, there was no denying an intense, mutual attraction. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I caught the bouquet; he caught the garter. Hunter held me tightly while we danced and suggested we explore the chemistry sparking between us. His blunt, dirty mouth should’ve turned me off. But for some crazy reason, it had the opposite effect on me.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We ended up back in my hotel room. The next morning, I headed home to New York leaving him behind in California with the wrong number.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I thought about him often, but after my last relationship, I’d sworn off of charming, cocky, gorgeous-as-sin men. A year later, Hunter and I met again at the birth of our friends’ baby. Our attraction hadn't dulled one bit. After a whirlwind trip, he demanded a real phone number this time. So I left him with my mother’s—she could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage—and flew back home.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I’d thought it was funny, until the following week when he rang the bell at Mom’s house for Sunday night dinner. The crazy, gorgeous man had won over my mother and taken an eight-week assignment in my city. He proposed we spend that time screwing each other out of our systems. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Eight weeks of mind-blowing sex with no strings attached? What did I have to lose?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Nothing, I thought.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>It’s just sex, not love.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>But you know what they say about the best laid plans…</i></div>

<b>HEALING HOPE by CA Harms</b><br />
<b>A Standalone Contemporary Romance </b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Hope Larsen is living each day of her life with a crippling guilt. The game of ‘what if’ has made it almost impossible to move forward from such a horrific event. In one life-changing moment, someone who meant so very much to her was taken. A man who once was her best friend. A man she fell in love with.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Now she must face the life she’d laid out before her alone, being reminded each day of his absence. The longing inside her, the desperation to be able to still love him without it hurting so much.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>She just wanted to live without feeling the pain of losing Walker. But each time she attempted to move forward, there was that lingering thought that somehow she was tarnishing his memories.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Then he shows up. He waltzes right into her life as if he belongs. Strong, confident, and determined to make her see him. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>When Travis Donovan crosses paths with the snarky blond, he’s intrigued. Her dismissal of him and his antics doesn’t have the effect she’d hoped for. In fact, it’s just the opposite. He’s not one to run scared from a challenge, but instead, he's the type to fight even harder to conquer it.</i></div>

<b><u>REVIEW: 5 STARS</u></b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
This just might be my favorite CA Harms book! Well, until her next one, I'm sure, because she always amazes me with her writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Hope & Travis had a story that I couldn't help but instantly LOVE. The moment they met, I knew Travis was PERFECT for Hope.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
She had been lost for some time now due to the loss of her husband and was really just existing. She wasn't living. She did what she needed to do to get through her days, but any kind of excitement took a back seat to survivor's guilt. Until Travis.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Travis lit a spark in Hope, one not even Hope herself could deny. And boy, was I ready for her to give him a chance! Once Travis found out who Hope was, it melted my heart to see how he instantly understood her actions. He changed his approach, but he sure as hell did not give up...and I am glad he didn't because he was just what she needed. She needed to be challenged, she needed a reason for her heart to beat again. And Travis was just that—her second chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Another fantastic read from C.A. Harms and one I highly recommend!</div>

<i>My name is Cayson James Razor, front man and lead singer for Razor’s Edge. I’m a rocker through and through, and nothing can change me. I don’t believe in romance and happily ever afters. Or at least that’s what I thought. <br /><br />Enter Kayla Marshall, romance writer and travel companion for thirty days. She’s oblivious to how the real world works. It’s my duty to open her eyes to the fantasy land she lives in.<br /><br />When the unthinkable happens and my long-time friend and drummer for Razor’s Edge leaves for rehab in the middle of a sixty-day, forty-three-city tour, I’m faced with the reality that there is more to life than the music. But before I can tell Kayla that I was wrong, she disappears.<br /><br />Now I’m questioning everything. Are there such things as happily ever afters, or are they just a fantasy people believe in? <br /><br />This is my journey to discover if a rock god can give up his evil ways to find the one he was destined for.</i><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">REVIEW: 5 STARS</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After reading the prequel, Rocking Between the Sheets, I knew I needed to start this one right away. Cayson Razor is not your typical rocker. I mean, yes, he did have his share of girls, but he wasn't what the public thought or what the magazines said he was. Music was his life, his passion, and he would in no way, shape or form ever jeopardize that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kayla was quiet and innocent compared to all the other girls Cayson ever came across, and that petrified him beyond belief. But after realizing that what he believed in practically his entire life was not true, he opened his heart to Kayla. Of course, things aren't always easy and their relationship faced a test that could've easily broken anyone up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was not the typical rocker romance where the main characters face issues because of rumors or tabloids. The situation in this book went above and beyond that and it was a REAL issue that could affect anyone. Suffice it to say, that was a refreshing change. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're in the mood to swoon, you need to meet Cayson Razor! FIVE STARS!<br />

<b><u>REVIEW:</u> 5 STARS</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I say this time and time again, but it's true. When it comes to a good romantic suspense novel, I'm a goner! Can't help it! It's my all-time favorite genre and I <i>love it. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Inked Killer is yet another page-turner from A.J. Norris. I <i>really</i> enjoyed book 1, Tattoo Killer, so I was super excited for this one and the author did a phenomenal job with it. While this book focuses on Natalie and Harry and it's not absolutely necessary for you to read book 1, I <i>do</i> recommend you grab that one first. Two reasons: 1. it's fantastic, duh, and 2. it will help you build a deeper connection with the characters. Grace and Mikey (main characters from Tattoo Killer) are very much present in this second installment, and let's not forget the most adorable little boy, Brayden.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of my most favorite aspects of this book was that A.J. kept me guessing and wondering who the "bad guy" was. I always formulate theories in my head as I read, and with Inked Killler I was kept glued to my tablet, wanting to find out all the answers. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I <i>loved</i> Harry and Natalie's relationship. L.O.V.E.D IT! The way they <i>knew each other</i> (swoon) and teased each other (which had me giggling quite a bit) was a joy to read. Seeing them with Grace, Mikey, and Brayden seemed natural and it all flowed smoothly. It was like they each provided a piece to a very awesome and well-placed puzzle. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Go grab your copy of Inked Killer. Really, you won't regret it one bit. If you haven't read Tattoo Killer, start there and devour these books! FIVE STARS.</div>

<b>EXCERPT: </b></div>
Natalie lay on top of the comforter in socks and a flannel nightshirt that had risen up, revealing a bit of her panties. His breath caught, and his manhood woke up. Everything about the day went dormant. Thank God, because he was sick to death of thinking about it. He washed his face and hands then left his clothes on the floor of the bathroom. He walked into the bedroom and immediately returned for his clothes. Better to avoid that look of hers when she saw the dirty pile. Harry was still learning how not to be a disappointing pig. His girlfriend deserved a man who could pick up after himself. With Annie, he’d gotten too comfortable, and never appreciated her enough until after she died.<br />
<br />
Natalie stirred on the bed, so he stopped moving. Once she settled he slipped under the covers. However, with her on top, the blanket didn’t quite fit over him. “Hey Nat, why don’t you get under the blanket,” he whispered. She whimpered and he helped her get underneath.<br />
<br />
He put his hands behind his head and sighed deeply. Although exhaustion had taken root in his body, his eyes were wide open.<br />
<br />
Harry rolled to his side and reached between the covers for Natalie in the dark. She turned and put a hand on the side of his head. “You okay?”<br />
<br />
“I know we’re both tired but I need you right now.”<br />
<br />
Natalie rolled over and laid on top of him. She kissed his lips briefly. Harry moaned against her mouth. “Mmm, you want me too?”<br />
<br />
“You question that? You may be 55 but these arms,” she ran her hands over his biceps, “are sexy. And this stomach of yours, it may not be the six-pack you once had but it’s flat and hard.” She kissed him again.<br />
<br />
“Yeah?” He squeezed her bottom cheeks.<br />
<br />
“I love this butt of yours. So smooth.”<br />
<br />
She giggled. “Really?”<br />
<br />
“Yeah, I can’t believe you’re 50.”<br />
<br />
“Wait, I’m not 50.” She pulled her head back.<br />
<br />
“You’re not?” He smiled even though she couldn’t see his face in the dark.<br />
<br />
“No. I’m 39.” “Good. I like younger women.”<br />
<br />
Natalie snorted. “I bet you do.”</div>

<b><u>MEET THE AUTHOR:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A.J. Norris is a romantic suspense and dark paranormal romance author. She enjoys being able to get inside someone else's head, even a fictional one, and see what they see. Watching how her characters deal with difficult situations or squirm with the uncomfortable ones makes the hard work of writing all worth it. However, writing and reading weren’t always in her foremost thoughts. In fact, her love affair with writing came as a shock to everyone she knows, including herself. At a young age, she rarely opened a book, unless forced to read something for school. But that’s all behind her now. She wrote her first book several years ago, which turned out to be a surprisingly cathartic process, and she hasn’t been able to stop writing since. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A.J. loves going to the movies, watching her son play baseball, and communing with other writers. She’s a member of two writer’s groups and RWA. She lives in southeastern Michigan with her family, who are extremely tolerant (at least most of the time) of all her late nights behind the computer.</div>

<b><u>REVIEW</u>: 5 STARS</b></div>
I posted my review on Instagram when I finished reading the book (and on Goodreads, of course), but just realized I never posted it on here! *facepalm* <div>
<br /><div>
A hot, single dad? Yes, please!!!! I have yet to read a book by AL Jackson that isn’t phenomenal. From fantastic characters to addictive stories, AL Jackson always hooks me from the very beginning. Her words have the most perfect flow that captivate me all the way up until the very last page.<br /><br />Rex. Oh man...REX. His remorse, his guilt, his PAIN. Holy hell. Talk about emotional angst! He was broken but yet remained the most amazing father to Frankie who’s got to be THE CUTEST little girl EVER. She was beyond adorable!!! Hands-down my favorite character in this book. Too cute! <br /><br />Rynna had her fair share of issues too. What happened to her that made her run all those years ago about broke my heart into a thousand pieces. And her grandma! Oh man. My heart was sad for them... <br /><br />I cannot say this enough, AL Jackson is brilliant with her words. <br /><br />I am so looking forward to the other books in this series. There is some unfinished business with Ollie which I am curious about and Kale? Well Kale is just VERY dreamy and you can safely say I’ve got the hots for him! LOL! Seeing the important role he played in Rex and Frankie’s life made me swoon a lot! <br /><br />If you’re in the mood for a roller coaster type of romance full of ups and downs and beautiful second chances, this is the book for you. FIVE STARS!!!<div>

Get ready to fall in love with this new standalone sports romance from New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr.<br />
<br />
<i><b>He’s the newly drafted quarterback.<br />Hot. Arrogant. Too sexy for words. <br />Ready to score.<br /><br />I’m an athletic intern, and the coach’s daughter.<br />Driven. Determined. Prepared to conquer the world.<br />Completely off-limits.</b><br /><br />You get the picture.<br /><br />The NFL is full of rules. Rules I’ve never broken. Never challenged. Never even scratched—until the day Lucas Carrington crashes into my life with his hard body and I-don’t-give-a-f*ck attitude.<br /><br />After I almost injure my father’s star player, I volunteer to make sure he’s in top shape. At first, it’s hell. I don’t like his cockiness, his easy smile. Don’t like the way he oozes sex. Or how his penetrating eyes follow me everywhere. <br /><br />That doesn’t stop me from wanting him.<br /><br />He’s meant to be a distraction—something to occupy my mind for these precious few remaining hot summer nights before I’m forced to leave football behind forever.</i><br />
<div>
<i><br />I know what we’re doing will lead nowhere good. I know we’re crossing the line. And I know my father will never understand.<br /><br />None of that matters.<br />But maybe it should.<br />Rules aren’t meant to be broken. <br />Or are they? </i><br />

<b>REVIEW: 4.5 STARS</b></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
As always, Kim Karr created a swoon-worthy hero and a strong, relatable heroine from beginning to end. I loved Lucas and Gillian! Loved them individually and even more so as a couple. I loved how much they cared for each other to the point that they were willing to risk everything just to spend time together. Dating the coach's daughter was not just off-limits, but Lucas was essentially risking his <i>career</i>, one he had worked very hard for his entire life. He hadn't ended up where he wanted to initially, but he was right where he was meant to be.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once I got into this book, I was all in. I was invested in Lucas and Gillian and wanted to see how they would figure out their not-so-slight (<i>at all)</i> predicament. I loved the coach, but man, I was just as anxious as Lucas and Gillian were and I was hoping for the best outcome possible. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, the reason this isn't a full 5-star book for me is that while I really did like the book, I do wish there had been a more of an emotional side to Lucas and Gillian's forbidden romance. I felt like the story was <i>there</i>, their love was <i>there</i>, I just wasn't always fully <i>feeling</i> their <i>passion, </i>especially during their alone time. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
That said, I <i>do </i>recommend this book, very much so! I have been a huge fan of Kim Karr since she published Connected, so yes, grab it! If you're in the mood for a steamy sports romance, this is definitely the book for you! 4.5 Stars!</div>

— <b>KIM KARR</b> — <br />Reader * Writer * Coffeelover * Romantic<br /><br />Kim is a daydreamer. So much so that if daydreaming could be a hobby it would be her favorite. It's how her stories are born and how they take root. An imagination that runs wild is something to be thankful for, and she is very thankful. :)<br /><br />She grew up in New York and now lives in Florida with her husband and four kids. She's always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, she wanted to teach at the college level but that was not to be. She went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise her family. Kim currently works part-time with her husband and with the rest of her time embraces one of her biggest passions--writing.<br /><br />Kim wears a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of her family. However, she always finds time to read. <br /><br />She likes to believe in soul mates, kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. She loves to drink champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

Taylor Valentine, a senior at Western Michigan University, has had her life planned out since kindergarten. After her parents died while she was still in high school, she had perfected it to make them proud. Now with the help of her best friends, Joe and Eva, she focuses on graduation and a career with romance in the far distant future. However, when the visiting professor enters the lecture hall to a four-weekend Civil War seminar, her perfect plan hits a snag.<br />

<b><u>REVIEW: 5 STARS</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love meeting new authors and falling in love with their writing!! This was one action-packed book! I felt glued to my tablet, reading page after page non-stop. You all know by now I am a sucker for Romantic Suspense novels and this one was fantastic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved Stuart and Taylor and their <i>forbidden situation</i>. It sure made things exciting! Taylor's internal struggles were very well developed. She had a plan. She knew what she needed to do with her life, but then Stuart was one unexpected turn of events...in more ways than one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're looking for a new book to keep you on the edge of your seat, this would be the one to pick up! The suspenseful element was great and mixed in with some great romance, it was a treat to read! I'm so excited I found this author!! She's gained a fan!</div>

<b>The Kindred Code </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>by Christina Thompson</b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Chemical Attraction Series Book 2</b></div>
<br />
Taylor Valentine, Eva O’Sullivan, and Joe Roberts are siblings by choice. They believe in The Kindred Code: blood means nothing and love is everything. After all, they’ve been together every day since the third grade. As their lives take different paths after college, they wonder if their mantra will stay true.<br />
<br />
When word gets out that Professor Stuart Morgan had dated Taylor while in his class, the publicity takes a toll on their relationship. While Taylor recovers from a gunshot wound, Stuart struggles with his PTSD. Instead of sharing their pain, they drift further apart.<br />
<br />
With his son, David, at a sleepover, Officer Matt Connor invites Eva to his home. During their romantic weekend, volatile confrontations erupt between Matt’s mother and Eva and David’s biological mother and Eva. The rural town enjoys the uproar. Even on her best behavior, Eva worries about the chaos she brings to Matt and David’s lives.<br />
<br />
Before Joe heads to the FBI Academy, Director Peter Bingaman asks for his help on an unofficial case. He needs an outsider, who’s smart and quick on his feet. Joe jumps at the chance to test his skills. Before long, they uncover horrendous crimes. Suddenly, Joe’s in over his head.<br />
<br />
Will Joe’s family put aside their problems and come to his aid before it’s too late? And what will that mean for his career as an agent?<br />
<br />
This page turner is the second novel in The Chemical Attraction Series and is packed with fast-paced action, suspense, and romance that will leave you craving for more.<br />

<b><u>REVIEW: 5 STARS</u></b><br />
Okay, I thought I had really enjoyed <i>Their Rigid Rules</i> but man, I <i>really </i>loved <i>The Kindred Code</i>. And yes, I DO recommend you read that other book first. Personally, I felt like I already had a connection with these characters and as I read this second book, that connection only got stronger and deeper. Very well developed characters that were very much brought to life with Ms. Thompson's writing style! LOVED IT!! I was once again glued to my tablet! With everything that was going on, I needed to know how <i>everything</i> would unfold! I felt emotionally invested in this storyline, LOL!<br />
<br />
Have I mentioned how excited I am that I started this series? Another 5-star read!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>So, here goes.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We’re totally wrong for each other. You’re the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I’m just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>But here’s the thing… for some bloody reason, I can’t stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I want you.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b><u>REVIEW: 5 STARS</u></b><br />
Oh. My. Gosh. Let me start right off by saying that when I first started reading or even promoting this book, I had absolutely NO IDEA what it was even about. I CHOSE not to read the blurb. I don't read other people's reviews and I don't go around looking at what others are saying. Why? Because I absolutely LOVE going in blind and devouring books by authors that are on my favorites list. Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland have become THE author duo that I will always automatically one-click and trust that their story will be fantastic.<br />
<br />
Well, let me just say that as always, I was BLOWN AWAY. These two authors have written quite a few books together already so I always wonder, <i>what else can they possibly come up with? </i>Well, shit. I don't know how they do it, but they need to keep it up!!!!!!<br />
<br />
They always create these witty, sexy heroes you can't help but INSTANTLY love, and their heroines are just as amazing too! The connection between their main characters is ALWAYS TOP-NOTCH. Like....I'm at a loss for words when trying to describe just how well Ward & Keeland develop their books. From fantastic characters to addictive storylines, they are always a MUST. Always. If you're ever in a book funk, pick up any of their books. You will fall in love with reading all over again. I guarantee it.<br />
<br />
Simon & Bridget. What can I even say about them other than YOU NEED TO READ THEIR STORY? I swear there were scenes that made my heart's heart swoon just like there were others I found myself laughing out loud (probably while looking like a complete jackass) and other scenes where I'm sure I heard my heart break into a million tiny pieces, like the scene Simon walks in and finds Bridget holding a paper she found in the trash. Oh man. Wait until you read that part. Even <i>TinMan's</i> heart would break. <br />
<br />
I really don't want to say anything else because truthfully, you HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK. Go in and devour it. A<b> 2017 Top Favorites List </b>book for me!<b> FIVE STARS.</b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">ARIELLA'S ESCAPE</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">by Carolee Croft</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<i>Ariella had always believed that the life of a warrior should include indulging in wine and men whenever they were on offer… And in Chaldea, the capital of the old empire, they certainly were... <br /><br />Especially the man she finds in her bedchamber, a slave provided by her hosts to entertain her in any way she wishes. <br /><br />But when betrayed and surrounded by enemies in a strange land, there is only one man she can trust—the slave who was meant only for her pleasure but is much more than he seems.<br /><br />Demetrius had been captured in a battle at the age of 15, and slavery was all he had known in his adult life. When his chance for freedom comes along, his fate is bound to the noble warrior maiden whose voice and body he cannot resist. Duty calls him to return to his kingdom, but the journey will take him places that will change him forever.<br /><br />Together, they make their way through a den of thieves and an enchanted elf forest, but the biggest danger of all may be their fiery attraction to each other and the secret that will draw a dividing line between them.</i><br />

<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>EXCERPT</u>:</b><br />
<br />
Their first kiss<br />
<br />
“Now tell me the truth, Demetrius,” she asked, a smile playing at the edges of her lips, “Did the king send you here to find out my secrets?”<br />
<br />
“The truth…” he lay back, cradling his head in his hands, a pose that the huge muscles of his chest stand out even more. “The truth is, this is a gesture of hospitality. But yes, he did want me to report anything you might say in regards to the negotiations. However, I don’t believe that he was interested in any information regarding your swifthounds, so that secret is safe with me.”<br />
<br />
Ariella burst out laughing. She wanted to playfully slap his shoulder, but she was afraid of where it may lead.<br />
<br />
“I knew it!” she exclaimed, “But does he really expect me to spill the muckpitts to you, especially when you’ve just told me of his plan?”<br />
<br />
“I admit, I find it rather far-fetched myself,” he replied, “but then again, when I’m embracing you in the heat of passion…” he scooped an arm under her and rolled her over to face him, “who knows what political secrets you might reveal.”<br />
<br />
When he had first seized her in mock abandon, she laughed, but then feeling the embrace of his strong arms around her, seeing his face just inches from her own, she suddenly froze, not wanting him to let go.<br />
<br />
“It’s doubtful I will reveal anything,” she said slowly, “but we won’t know until we try, will we?”<br />
<br />
They lay there facing each other, and he still did not let go. This seemed so wrong, Ariella thought. She knew she was in danger here, and that this man could very well be posing as a friend to gain her trust, though she knew not for what purpose. The ease with which he confessed to being sent to her bedchamber as a spy was suspicious, or on the other hand it could mean that he was no spy at all, that he was only teasing her.<br />
<br />
She couldn’t read much in the clear blue fount of his eyes, more liquid than fire now, except a strong yearning for closeness.<br />
<br />
His lips were slightly open, just inches away from hers. She realized she was now beyond any reasoning. She leaned into him, inhaling that ravishingly innocent smell, and her lips just lightly touched his. <br />
<br />
Ariella suddenly wondered if she had had too much to drink after all, for in that moment when their lips had barely touched, she felt as if his lips were the most sensuous, delicious lips she had ever kissed.<br />
<br />
As if disbelieving her own senses, she pulled back for a moment – though a moment long enough to see he looked as overwhelmed as she was – and then her lips encountered his once more, with a more determined pressure… Ariella was completely lost in the kiss, which sent the whole room spinning and the blood rushing through her body in a furious tempest.<b><br /></b>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>VI KEELAND</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vi Keeland is a native New Yorker with three children that occupy most of her free time, which she complains about often, but wouldn't change for the world. She is a bookworm and has been known to read her kindle at stop lights, while styling her hair, cleaning, walking, during sporting events, and frequently while pretending to work. She is a boring attorney by day, and an exciting smut author by night!</div>
