CMD cover

Holden sees things.
Lots of things.
Things we would call ugly, but he believes are beautiful.

He paints sad pictures.
And strums lonely guitars.
He drowns out the taunting voices while shunning the expected norms.

I let them hurt him.
I wasn’t strong enough to speak out.
I hurt him, too, only to prove I wasn’t just like him.

But then I saw him.
I heard him.
I learned why Holden wasn’t CRAZY like they said.

I loved him MADLY.
I fell for him DEEPLY.
And alone, I decided to save a man who was the most beautiful of us all.

My Review!

“He would always be striking and large”

If I could give a review more than 5 stars, I would give this story an infinity amount of stars, like the ones that Holden would look at from the deserted football field.  I am so glad that I have been introduced to Lily White’s work.  She is amazing!

This book, oh I can’t even begin to explain the beauty and tragedy in this story. The story of Holden and Michaela is absolute brilliance.

I was so envious of Holden’s strength in being himself and making no apologies for it.  His love and dedication to his sister Delilah is nothing short of miraculous. The tragedy of the things that were piled on him was heartbreaking.

I could understand Michaela’s “smallness” (when you read this book, and I hope you do, you will understand what I mean). I was angry for the silence she perpetuated, but I understood how she felt.  I was so happy that she found her strength in Holden and I am glad he found a safe place with her.

This twist in this story absolutely floored me! It gutted me and made me ugly cry, which really is a credit to Lily’s words and story.

This book is going to be in my best reads of 2018, this book hooked me from the first page and I refused to put it down until the end.  I cannot praise this story enough, nor can I exclaim that you get this book and become as mesmerized by this story as I did.  Well done Lily, I cannot wait to read what comes next!

I absolutely loved this book! See my review here!!

Only You, an all-new sexy and emotional standalone from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is LIVE!

MHOnlyYouBookCover5x8_BW_300.jpg

Nate Pearson is ridiculously handsome and wears the hell out of a suit and tie, but I’ve seen the parade of beautiful women leaving his apartment across the hall-a different one every time-and I want no part of it. When it comes to romance, I’m looking for something real, something that will last: the happily ever after.

As a divorce attorney, he loves to tell me there’s no such thing.

As a wedding planner, I choose to disagree.

We disagree on almost everything, in fact. Everything except James Bond. The only time we really get along is when we’re watching 007 flicks together, and I’ll admit-he has rescued me from a disaster or five. So when one of the baton twirlers from his parade leaves a baby girl at his door with a note that says “I’ll come back for her” and he begs me for help, I can’t turn him down.

But it’s a mistake.

Because watching him with his daughter, I start to see another side of Nate, a side that has my breath coming faster, my body craving his, my heart longing for him to change his mind about love and tell me there’s a chance for us.

I don’t want to be just another girl leaving his apartment in the morning.

I want to be the one he asks to stay.

Excerpt

“So did you mean what you said last night? About me?”

He grimaced, his eyes closing briefly. “I’m sorry about that. I shouldn’t have said it.”

“But you think it, right? That I’m a little girl living in a fantasy world?”

“No.” He put a hand on my shoulder. “I think you’re an optimist. I think you see good in people they don’t even see themselves. You build people up—especially me.”

“You?” I laughed a little. “You don’t need me to build you up.”

“Hell yes, I do. You think I’d have been able to handle this whole fatherhood bombshell if you hadn’t been here? If you’d said, ‘That’s what you get for fucking around, asshole. Good luck.’

I shook my head, a strand of hair coming loose from my bun. “I’d never have done that.”

“I know.” He tucked the strand behind my ear and moved his hand to the back of my neck. His eyes dropped to my lips. “But I would have deserved it.”

I held my breath. Things seemed to be happening in slow motion. His forehead came to rest on mine. And then our noses touched. Our eyes closed. An eternity passed, his lips a whisper from mine. Either one of us could have initiated a kiss. A slight lift of my chin. A little drop of his head. The question—will we or won’t we?—hung there between us, even as his closed lips brushed mine, eyelash soft.

I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around his neck and fit my body flush against his, but my wrists lay inert on the edge of the sink. Suddenly he spoke, his breath warm against my mouth.

“You know that dream you have, the one where you really want to do something, you’re desperate to do something, but you’re paralyzed?”

“Yes,” I whispered.

“I think I’m having that dream right now.”

“Me too.” And then I felt it, the gentle pressure at the back of my neck, pulling my head toward him.

It was all I needed. Our mouths came together firmly this time, our lips opening, and I angled my body toward his, throwing my arms around his neck. His hands explored my back while his tongue explored my mouth, and he backed me into the corner, his hips pinning mine against the hard stone counter. He kissed with a fervor and intensity that surprised me, his mouth traveling down my neck, his fingers threading through my hair, pulling the pins loose, his body giving off heat that mine hungrily absorbed. I wanted to get closer to him, wished I could feel his skin against mine. I rose up on tiptoe to press against him, my back arching to fit the question mark curve of his body.

He felt big and strong and reassuring, exactly how I wanted him to feel. I wasn’t even sure what it was I wanted reassurance about… My desirability? Our chemistry? Something new and different happening between us? He swept his lips to the other side of my throat, a necklace of soft, insistent kisses that warmed my blood. When his mouth returned to mine, the kiss grew hot and frantic. He reached down and hiked the hem of my skirt to my waist, and I immediately jumped up, wrapping my legs around him. His hands moved under my ass and he carried me like that into the living room, never lifting his mouth off mine. When he reached the couch, he knelt on it and tipped me backward, stripping off his shirt and stretching out above me.

My hands moved lightning fast over hot skin, solid muscle. Chest and arms and back—I couldn’t get enough. His hand stole beneath the T-shirt I wore and I arched my back so he could reach underneath me and unclasp my bra, then moaned softly at the feel of his palm over my breasts. Moving down, he shoved the shirt and bra up to my neck and put his mouth on me, his lips, his tongue, his teeth, my nipples hardening into tight little peaks that begged to be licked, sucked, teased, tortured.

What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? screamed a voice in my head.

I ignored it, hooking my arms beneath his and pulling him up so I could kiss him again. I didn’t care what we were doing.

It felt way too good to stop.

The Scars I Bare by J.L. Berg

Publication Date: March 12th, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance

tSIB Amazon

Every scar tells a story…
Some are etched on the skin, for the whole world to see.
Others are buried deep, so deep, only the heart can truly find them.

Dean Sutherland was the quintessential guy next door. Strong and dependable, with a heart of gold, he knew exactly where his life was headed. Until one fateful night at sea ripped away everything. Now he’s adrift, a man without a purpose.

Cora Carpenter thought she had the perfect life. A successful career, an affectionate husband and a daughter who adores her. But soon that perfect world is crashing down around her, and she’s in need of a fresh start. Moving to a remote town on the coast of North Carolina seems like the perfect plan. That is until she finds herself face to face with a kindred soul from her past.

Dean and Cora have more in common than either are willing to admit. Both deeply rooted in their pain, they can’t help but find hope in each other’s eyes and passion entwined with every touch. But can two broken hearts make a whole?

Will the scars they’ve bared to one another poison their happily ever after, or can love truly heal all?

Excerpt:

By the time I arrived at the inn for dinner, I was a goddamn mess. Sweat was running down my back from the heat, even after changing my shirt twice. I’d changed my mind three times on whether to bring flowers for Cora, doubling back to the house at the last minute to grab them after I firmly decided to leave them at home.

When I finally arrived, I was a solid twenty minutes late and probably looked like a psychopath from all the sweat and the mangled flowers in my hand.

But all of this was forgotten the moment the door opened, and Cora greeted me.

“Jesus,” I cursed, giving her a once-over before she even had the chance to say hi. “You look insane.”

“Insane is good?” she asked, pink staining her cheeks.

I’d never seen her in anything beyond scrubs and shorts. Granted, this woman could wear a paper bag and be the hottest woman in the room. Tonight though, she’d dressed up, wearing a short, strappy number with tiny pink flowers dotting the fabric.

“Insane is really good,” I clarified.

My Review!!

A By The Bay Novel

To all the beautifully broken, both inside and out…..

What a start to a beautiful dedication. This is the first book I have read by J.L. Berg, but it won’t be the last! I have added her other books to my TBR list (man is it getting long)!

This is the story of Dean and Cora, and what a beautiful story it is!  This was a book I could honestly say I could not put down until the end.

Dean and Cora had met in what I like to call another life, a devastating accident brought them together at the wrong time in their lives but it caused a lasting impression to them both.

When the meet again, years later, the both have scars, both physical and emotional.  It was so moving to see them come together again.

The chemistry between the two of them is nothing short of magical in healing them both.  The dialogue between them is funny and at time poignant.  There are so many times when I was laughing out loud and then tearing up the next. The setting for this story Ocracoke, was so beautifully described, it makes me want to become a dingbatter and move there myself!

The secondary characters, especially Lizzie, were amazing and I can’t wait to see more of them soon!

You have created a new fan J.L.! I will be stalking you shortly!! Thank you for the wonderful introduction to your work!

Title: Possessive
Author: Willow Winters
Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: March 13, 2018

Blurb
From USA Today bestselling author Willow Winters, comes a provocative, standalone, contemporary romance.
 
Some men are born with a black heart and a tainted soul. 
I never liked to admit it back then; I thought I could outrun who I am and lie
to myself.
But I accept the truth now.
It’s in my blood and in my bones. In every impure thought and desire.
I tried to leave. To do the right thing and walk away from my past.
But then she came back into my life.
Stumbling towards me and looking up at me as if I’m the one she’s been looking
for all this time.
As if I could be her savior and take her pain away.

 

If only she knew. 

 

 

She turns me into what I hate most about myself.
Selfish, ruthless, possessive.
I tried to be a good man. To be cold and distant and warn her away.
She should have taken the hint and run.
She didn’t…
And now she’s mine.

Author Bio

Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.

In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!

 

My Review!

“I don’t care about anything that happened yesterday as long as I get you tomorrow….”

That quote above sums up this fantastic book by Willow Winters. (It’s also has to be one of the most swoon worthy, in my own humble opinion!)

This story of Daniel, Addison and Tyler is so moving! It certainly pulled at my heart strings and made me tear up as I was reading it!

Addison is such a survivor, my heart broke for her and I could really feel the pain she went through in this story.

Daniel is the ultimate alpha. He knows what he wants, what he has always wanted but doesn’t know how to work through the pain and guilt to really stand up and go for Addison, heart and soul.

The pain that both Addison and Daniel share is immense and it really is a huge obstacle for them to overcome, but through the fantastic use of flashbacks throughout the story you see where they have been and what makes them who they are now!

I so enjoy Willow’s work, her stories are gritty and steamy and are such page turners.  She teases you with her words and sucks you into her world and characters! I cannot wait to read more from her!

My Review!

“Only you. Always you.”

That quote right there is epic and everything!

I fell in love with Melaine’s work when I stumbled across Some Sort of Happy and it was the best stumble EVER!

Only You is the story of Emme and Nate, neighbors and fabulous friends, at first and then so much more!

Emme is the epitome of what every girl wants to be! She is independent, she is fierce in her beliefs and wants what she wants and doesn’t apologize for it! She is also whimsical and fun.  She has had a string of bad luck in relationships but is holding out for her true love and when she finds it, she is patient, forgiving and strong when she needs to be!

Nate, oh Nate… Because of his past, he is fierce in his beliefs too and all comes crashing down when he finds out he is a father!  Melanie really nails his parenting trials and tribulations with humor and reality! One of my favorite quotes is “…Yes, I’d like a case of Red Bull, 6 lines of cocaine, and a Pixie Stick.” It’s hysterical and if you are a parent, you know you have said some sort of version of this! It is spot on!

I enjoyed seeing past characters from Melanie’s books having a part in Emme & Nates story too.  It was like a bit of a reunion with friends and it was good to see what everybody has been up to!

This book is another stellar addition to Melanie’s work!  Do yourself a favor and read this and all of her past work! Thank you for your words and stories Melanie! Please don’t ever stop writing!

Be sure to watch out for my blog tour and review of this fantastic novel!  This is the first book I have read by this author, but it surely won’t be my last!!

I don’t know what love is anymore.

Well, that’s not entirely true, but I’m going to tell you a little secret: I’ve lost the spark.

You know the kind of spark I’m talking about?

Where butterflies take flight in your stomach from two hands innocently colliding. Or catching your breath when you first meet someone attractive. Yeah, that spark.

Except I haven’t felt that feeling in forever; there is nothing left inside of me.

Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem–but I’m a writer on a serious deadline, and my editor is breathing down my neck for a romantic, Nicholas Sparks type love story. No pressure, right?

That’s how I find myself flying across the country to crash a wedding in the name of research, dress and heels stuffed into my small suitcase.

It should be the easiest book research ever. Drinking some free champagne, basking in the love of two strangers, and tapping into my romantic side. That will be a breeze. I’m a pro. I can handle this.

Until I mistakenly end up in the wrong hotel room, naked as the day I was born, with the sexiest human I have ever met staring me down, wondering what I’m doing taking a shower in his bathroom. I don’t think calling it research will get me out of this pickle.

 

 

 

 

 

Chills scream their way down my arms and legs, my nipples pucker, and just like that, with one word, all humor vanishes from our little conversation and awareness of this all-consuming man wrapped around me hits me hard.

Gathering myself, I say, “Tell me something Chris and Justine know about you.”

“Hmm.” His thumbs hook under the waistband of my shorts, playing with the lower part of my hipbones. His touch spurs on my pelvis, needing to rock, begging for him to go lower. My toes curl in my sandals and my back slightly arches, reaching for more. “Something they know about me.”

His mouth doesn’t stray from its position against my ear, and his hips start to slowly move underneath me, his legs tangling with mine. Involuntarily, one of my hands hooks the back of his neck as I hold on tightly to him, feeling like I need support from the onslaught of sensation I’m feeling.

I hear him say something, but it doesn’t register in my brain, which has turned to mush as his thumbs stray from my hipbones to right above my pubic bone.

There is no denying how turned on I am, how wet I am from his mere touch, how much—despite my reservations—I want this man.

With each stroke, my head turns farther and farther to the side until our noses are touching, Beck’s head bends forward to meet me halfway. My eyes flutter shut for a brief moment before I open them and am captured by those flecks of green and gold.

The air stills around us, our breath mixing, swirling between us, our lips so close.

One swipe of this thumb.

Another one.

I can’t breathe.

I can’t focus.

Another swipe, my head leans even closer, my tongue wetting my lips.

One more swipe . . .

My heart hammers in my chest, my skin prickling with awareness.

Beck brings his mouth even closer, only a whisper away now, and he waits.

Holding still.

His breathing feeling erratic beneath me.

One.

More.

Swipe.

And I’m gone.

I bring my mouth to his, slowly parting my lips ever so slightly, just enough to maneuver my mouth across his.

A low, provocative moan escapes Beck as one of his hands snags the back of my head and holds me in place, almost as if he lets go, I’ll disappear.

Needing more, I shift on his lap so I’m straddling him once again, my hands on his bare chest, feeling the powerful sinew that holds him together.

Our lips press and mold, mingling, taking, begging . . .

Desperate.

Beck’s tongue runs against my bottom lip, eliciting a moan from deep within me, lighting a fire so hot, so wild, my hands start to travel up his neck to his cheeks where I grip him, positioning his head so when I open my mouth, I can expertly dive my tongue onto his.

He groans, his lap shifting against mine now, his hard-on pressing against my wet and throbbing center. I match his rocking, using my position on his lap to take advantage of his length I can feel through his board shorts.

This is exactly what I didn’t want to happen, but God, am I happy it has. Maybe I really should live in the moment, maybe I should take advantage of the opportunity, maybe I should…

 

 

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

My Review!

I was so excited to finally get Beck’s story! (I have been a HUGE fan of Beck since Three Blind Dates!)

Meghan did not fail to come through once again with the romance, the steaminess, the comedy and yes a bit of tears (at least on my part) with this story of Beck and Rylee. I also want to say that even though this book is a part of series, it can totally be read as a standalone, easily!

Beck was introduced to us briefly in Three Blind Dates, he was a rebel with a cause. But there was some things he kept close to the chest and didn’t want to reveal quite yet. It made me beg for more about him and we finally get just that with Two Wedding Crashers. We get to know Beck and love him all the harder for it. We see his striving to be a better person and trying hard to love life but with a personal cross that he bears that is hard for him to put down until he meets Rylee. And I love his nickname for her! It’s spot on!

Oh Rylee, how I love this girl! She is so epically funny! She is smart, she is fierce and she has been through so much. I love how Meghan would tease us a bit through out the book at what she was hiding from Beck. Rylee finally comes clean with a powerful scene that will hit you in the gut and make you want to hug her close and tell her that is still whole and she is still worthy!

Oh and let me tell you! As always with Meghan’s stories, the secondary characters are phenomenal! Beck and Rylee’s friends and family rally around these two with humor, love and sassiness!

I love Meghan’s world of characters so hard! It doesn’t matter if it’s a standalone or a series, every book she writes completely takes you into her world and makes you a part of the community of her mind! Thank you so much for your words and stories Meghan! Don’t ever stop writing!

HERO
A standalone contemporary romance in the MORGAN BROTHERS SERIES from USA Today Bestselling Author Lauren Rowe. The story of firefighter Colby Morgan that proves heroes come in many forms . . .
The first time I laid eyes on Lydia Decker, I couldn’t speak. Or breathe. Or string two coherent thoughts together.
And I don’t mean any of that figuratively.
I’m not talking about a guy being floored by the sight of a gorgeous woman—although, of course, Lydia is gorgeous beyond words.
No, when I first laid eyes on Lydia Decker—my physical therapist—I was lying flat on my back in the ICU, high as a kite on painkillers, breathing on a ventilator, my bones as broken and splintered as my spirit.
When I first laid eyes on Lydia Decker, she was a ray of light in the dark. Hope for the hopeless. A salve for my singed and battered soul.
She said she’d been assigned to fix me. That she was there to bring me back to life. She said helping me was her calling.
And then she touched me. Physically, emotionally, spiritually. She healed me.
And I fell in love.
But what I didn’t know . . . what I couldn’t possibly know . . . was that Lydia Decker needed fixing far more than I ever did.

 

My Review!!

Oh Lauren, how I love thee! This book is absolute platinum! (Which is better than gold!)

Hero, the story of Colby and Lydia is what a true romance should be.

The first three chapters absolutely gutted me, I cannot image a pain like that. So I cried, because it made my heart hurt.

Then you get the interaction of the Morgan siblings and you crack up.  How Lauren comes up with the zingers that fly between the siblings is amazeballs! “…can you guess why I happen to be here at chicken-thirty on a Saturday morning?” So I laughed out loud, and got crazy looks from my family, because it made my heart laugh.

Finally you get the chemistry of Colby and Lydia and it makes you believe in love, lust and destiny.  So I fell in love with these two because it made my heart burn with passion.

From blowing raspberries, to the story of the pearl, this book is aces!  I am so glad that Lauren was able to write Colby’s story with mercy and Lydia’s story with grace.  I am in awe of your words and your world of characters!  To catch a glimpse of past characters was the cherry on top of an already perfect dessert!

You have a fan for life Lauren! Brava for your words!

BLURB:

I don’t know what love is anymore.

Well, that’s not entirely true, but I’m going to tell you a little secret: I’ve lost the spark.

You know the kind of spark I’m talking about?

Where butterflies take flight in your stomach from two hands innocently colliding. Or catching your breath when you first meet someone attractive. Yeah, that spark.

Except I haven’t felt that feeling in forever; there is nothing left inside of me.

Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem–but I’m a writer on a serious deadline, and my editor is breathing down my neck for a romantic, Nicholas Sparks type love story. No pressure, right?

That’s how I find myself flying across the country to crash a wedding in the name of research, dress and heels stuffed into my small suitcase.

It should be the easiest book research ever. Drinking some free champagne, basking in the love of two strangers, and tapping into my romantic side. That will be a breeze. I’m a pro. I can handle this.

Until I mistakenly end up in the wrong hotel room, naked as the day I was born, with the sexiest human I have ever met staring me down, wondering what I’m doing taking a shower in his bathroom. I don’t think calling it research will get me out of this pickle.

A ruthless man with a past to hide doesn’t let a soul close to him.
A coldhearted man at war doesn’t risk anything for anyone.
A depraved man with a beautiful woman at his mercy … he doesn’t fall
for her.
She was only a bargaining chip.  Now she’s my property.
own her.
Nothing has thrilled me more than the thought of taking her how I’ve
always wanted to.
To break her and make that soft voice of hers whimper with a strangled
moan as I ravage her.
I know better than to give in to temptation and let her distract me
from everything that’s at stake.
No matter how badly I crave more of her.
No matter how much the sordid thoughts plague me.
No matter if it’s the one thing that I’ve always wanted more than
anything else …

Author Bio

Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.

In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!
