Synopsis
 

Ghosts are real.

Well, technically speaking, maybe not. But the ones that haunt a man’s soul? Those are very real. So real, in fact, that there are times when Castiel would rather silence them forever in the worst way possible than to go on living with them haunting his every step.

All it took was one single second in time for his attention to drift, and everything changed.

Life as he once knew it, is over.

Now he’s struggling to make sense of the pieces that are left, and he’s fairly sure at least half of them are missing.

He’s living for three things now.

His club—the Bear Bottom Guardians.

His work as a police officer for Bear Bottom Police Department.

And the occasional glimpse of a girl that makes his spirit feel free.

Despite the ghosts that haunt him, he’s not willing to present them with another target. Which is why he has to stay away from her. He can’t touch her. He can’t talk to her. He can’t get anywhere near her.

Not and live with himself afterward.

The only problem is, Turner doesn’t care what Castiel wants. She also has a solution for his ghosts.

You may call her Ms. Ghostbuster.

4.5 ‘Racing Emotions’ Stars 

Oh my Lord…. Only Lani Lynn Vale can manage to break my heart, repair it back together and end up making it soar like this! Be prepared for all the FEELS and all the EMOTIONS of Keep It Classy!  

In all seriousness, I never expected this book to have the emotional impact it did in me, specially the heartfelt loss and devastation of a beloved family member, that I will not reveal who to not spoil, that you could FEEL came straight from the author’s own emotions and heartbreak. It was heartbreakingly beautifully written.

The premise on itself couldn’t be more exciting, given my love for a well created ‘enemies to lovers’, and Castiel and Turner – that had me more than giddy after their antics in the previous book – couldn’t have been any more brilliant together. I loved how we still got a bit of their banter in the book, and then how naturally it transformed, specially on how it did, and the turning point where Castiel truly step it up and proved to be the BEST book boyfriend by being there for Turner when she needed him the most, and how their feelings and relationship organically and naturally evolved from there to a combustion point, and some insanely sexy and steamy times. 

Once again, in true LLV’s fashion, we had it ALL in Castiel and Turner’s story! Plus, with all the soul deep emotions in it – showing us not one epic love but two, I’ll just say Turner’s dad tore my heart into pieces, at the same time as made be swoon – just made the already gripping, funny, uber sexy and suspenseful filled storyline into an epic love story that I won’t soon forget and an all time favorite from Ms. Vale. We could feel the soul deep connection she had with the story, and just made it that much more brilliant to us as reader. These Bear Bottom MC’s men really are something else – in the best of ways – and I can not wait to see how the next falls, specially Liner. Counting down the days!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 

 

I’m not like any man you’ve ever met,” I agreed. “I’m entirely different. I’m unique. And I’m also not a boy making fun of a girl. I’m a man that finds his woman highly attractive.”

“What drew me to you wasn’t your need for me, but your need for speed.”

Castiel was the love of my life. He’d been there when no one else had been…and given me things that I’d never known I needed.

STONED

Series: The Four #2

Author: Layla Frost

Genre:Contemporary Romance

Release Date:February 12th, 2019

 

Synopsis

Concrete. 

Next to me. In front of me. Behind me. Below me. 

It mocks me. 

My prison. 

My hell. 

I don’t know who I am. Where I am. How long I’ve been here. 

Decades? Centuries? 

It’s felt like an eternity. 

For all the unknowns, one truth has grown stronger with the torturous passing of time… 

I wish I was dead. 

Or, at least, I did until I heard her. 

She gives me hope. A purpose. 

Freedom. 

I follow her, soaking in everything she does and growing more dependent. Never in my long life have I seen anyone so perfect. 

Now I just have to find a way to make her hear me. 

And being able to see me would probably help, too… 

Warning: Recommended for readers 18+ due to strong adult language, themes, and lovin’ so good, it must be magicks.

5 ‘ Their Reward’ Stars

O.M.F.G!!! Just when I thought the first book, Styx, couldn’t be matched in its awesomeness, here comes Ms. Frost raising up the stakes with Stoned! This dirty minded pixie and her filthy mouthed detective will ROCK YOUR WORLD!

Again I’ll keep this review as non spoilerish as possible, because this series is all about the RIDE.

We met Juno, our now leading lady – she would so snort at being called that, btw – in the previous book, and could already anticipate just how rich and colorful her character was going to be. Well, she was all I was expecting and MORE!

Unless she’d broken her halo to form her horns, Juno was no angel. She was a temptress. A siren, luring me in.

And it was working. I’d take a naughty pixie over an angel any day.

Stellan, handsome and broody Alpha was the detective in charge of Juno’s case, but even if he wasn’t, there was no way he could stay away, when something beyond them was pushing him in the direction of the crazy, wild, comic book store owner.

I’d joke that it was a gift from the gods, but that wasn’t a joke. He was literally my gift from the gods.

This story truly was outstanding, from the hilarious, LMAO moments, to the suspense and insane chemistry and connection between the main couples, I was glued, and begging for more, actually, still craving, even more and more stories from this crazy addictive universe.

One date, and I was obsessed.

I’d chase. I’d beg. She just had to tell me the rules, and I’d play her game as long as winning meant I got her.

Juno and Stellan even though apparently completely opposites to one another, couldn’t have been better paired up, Fate really has a way. There was no doubt in my mind they could be anything other than true soulmates. He was the calm to her storm, and the rational and pragmatic to her crazy, two perfect halves of a whole, and I ADORED every single one of their interactions. 

But they gave us beauty.

Our reward.

Layla Frost truly has an unmeasurable creative and writing talent. The way this universe was created, the complex and particular characters, the quirkiness and uncontrollable ROFL lines and scenes, and the organic feeling chemistry, transform this PNR romance in a love and suspense combo story, just as addictive as Juno’s special gummy bears and cotton candy – that I was craving while reading, btw. Seriously, besides begging for Levi’s story, I’ll be here stalking and counting down the days for the rest of The Four! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 

“I love you, Juno,” he grunted, his thrusts growing more frenzied. “Not because you’re my mate or any of that shit. But because you’re my filthy-minded and dirty-mouthed pixie.”

“As long as I’m still breathing, and probably after, I’ll want you. Never doubt that.”

About the Author

7792423

Layla Frost has always been a rebel. A true badass.

Growing up, Layla used to hide under her blanket with a flashlight to read the Sweet Valley High books she pilfered from her older sister. It wasn’t long before she was reading hidden Harlequins during class at school. This snowballed into pulling all-nighters after the promise of “just one more chapter”.

Her love of reading, especially the romance genre, took root early and has grown immeasurably.

In between reading and writing, Layla spends her free time rocking out(at concerts, on the couch, in the car… Anywhere is a stage if you get into it enough), watching TV(the nerdier the better!), and being a foodie. Though she lives in NY(the state, not the city), she’s an avid Red Sox fan.

Synopsis
 

Zee + Annmarie and Tan + Jubilee.

Forever. No exceptions.

They were to have the picture-perfect life together. Everything was all planned out.

Jubilee was to marry Eitan and Ezekiel was to marry Annmarie. That’s how it was always supposed to be from the moment that they met. Textbook, right?

Wrong.

Eitan and Annmarie die in a freak accident that never should have happened, leaving the two survivors reeling.

Sixteen years later, Jubilee and Zee can’t even be in the same room with each other before things begin to deteriorate. Too many memories. Too much pain. Not enough forgiveness.

They’re like hellfire and holy water, and neither one of them is willing to admit that they’re wrong.

Then one day things change, and all of a sudden, they’re looking at each other like maybe they aren’t each other’s enemies after all.

3.5 ‘Struck by Lightning’ Stars

Well, Zee and Jubillee’s love story was quite a tumultuous and never boring journey!!! And surprising in so many ways, that I did not see coming, at ALL!

Zee has been one very intriguing – much like a lot of his MC brothers – character, that I’ve been dying to uncover, but I did not expect all this background and his already existing – or should I say prickly, lol – connection with Jubillee, his childhood ‘friend’/nemesis.

If I may say myself, I’m a huge sucker for a good banter and back and forth, and these two really gave us that at the start, and I could totally see that spiraling to something more, specially after an weakened resistance state, lmao. I wish we could have witness that ‘moment’ first hand, instead of after the fact, but that’s just my greedy self talking. What I did not in any way expect, and was put off, to be honest was that after so many years of knowing each other, and witnessing each others life, or better yet, Jubillee seeing first hand all the life and experience that Zee, did indeed have – all the status possible, and all big life marks, relationship and so, he indeed had them all in the past – and specially given they were in no way hung up on each other, I was so very disappointed and to be honest, shocked that she was still a virgin at her age, and with no meaningful or truly justifiable reason for being so, and enhanced and pointed out so many times, I just couldn’t let go. Yeah, it’s one of MY personal pet peeves, so I’m sure most won’t be bothered by it, but had she been half as experienced, relationship and sexually wise, as Zee was I would have sure thrilled and even more overjoyed for this two and that they finally got the HEA that they absolutely deserved after the tragedy of their past.

That being said, as all of Ms. Vale’s story, I soaked this one up from start to finish, and swooned and cheered Zee and Jubillee on how their relationship evolved and how they embraced it. Ans specially how they still kept that little bit of bickering that made them THEM!

The funny and suspenseful moments were exciting and as addictive as usual, and seeing Castiel and Turner’s interactions, and Liner’s hints on his mystery – not no much so for us LLV fans, lol – woman, have be counting down the days for next month for my Lani Lynn Vale fix and a brand new Bear Bottom Guardians MC. If you haven’t started this series yet, you truly are missing out on a MUST read! <3 <3 <3 

It didn’t matter if we were spitting mad.
Something this good—this perfect—was never wrong.

I’d sell my soul to the devil, and I’d move heaven and earth to make sure that you were safe.”

Synopsis

From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes the newest installment in her beloved Big Sky Series… 

Max Hull left Cunningham Falls a long time ago. Thanks to his killer instincts and business smarts, he’s come back to town richer than anyone’s wildest imagination. Now he’s closer to his family, living in his dream home, and at the top of his career—it sure looks like he has it all. 

All but one thing. And she’s not interested. 

Willa Monroe and Max were childhood sweethearts. She daydreamed about their wedding day and named their children, but Max’s dreams were bigger than her. After high school, he left her behind without another word. Now, Willa is a single mother and a successful business owner, and the heartbreak of losing Max was a very long time ago. 

She’s moved on. 

But when he walks into her shop and back into her life, suddenly it feels like no time has passed at all. He’s as handsome as ever, and more charming than she remembered. Once he makes friends with her son and turns his attention on her, how long will she be able to resist him? 

And does she really want to? Sometimes you do get a second chance at first love.

4 ‘Gift of Joy and Love’ Stars

 

Waiting for Willa truly shows how powerful, emotionally and realistically a second chance romance can be in Kristen Proby’s words. Willa and Max’s story was in the most beautiful ways the definition of a second chance!

I’ve been anxiously awaiting for these two’s story after the very first book of this spin off series that I love so much. When it was shown their background and how Willa moved on after the pain Max cause her by leaving when they were young, and built an amazing life for her own, I was hooked and wanted to know more.

This book had me captivated from the very beginning with that shocking Prologue, to end with that beautiful Epilogue. Both Max and Willa revealed themselves, very much in character with Ms. Proby’s writing talent that I love, as very mature and realistic. And little Alex just worked as the perfect element of fusion and balance for more added realism to their evolving relationship.

The non OTT angst, but the deep emotional connection that was palpable, and the love that never truly had disappeared just made me swoon that much more for these two. Ms. Proby indeed has an extraordinary talent to make us connect and feel what her characters are feeling, and her world building and family dynamic, brilliant! So much so I’m excitedly awaiting for Fallon’s story after that little tease of the intriguing character! Can’t wait! <3 <3 <3 <3

Gentleman Sinner, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Ellen Malpas, is live!

Izzy White knows of the darkness in this world. After all, she escaped it long ago. Determined not to let her past beat her, Izzy has a secure, stable life with a job she loves in nursing. But one act of kindness will completely upend everything she’s so carefully built-putting her right back in the crosshairs of danger she’s been so desperate to avoid.

When Theo Kane shows up like a knight in shining armor, Izzy can’t help thinking she’s been saved from one threat and exposed to another. His imposing physique, the harsh lines of his face, and the wariness of everyone who comes close are just a few clues to Theo Kane’s notorious reputation. The man is positively terrifying. But with Izzy, he’s tender and a complete gentleman, and her fascination with the mysterious beast of a man becomes too powerful for her to walk away.

As Theo’s demons come to light, running becomes even more impossible. And yet staying together could doom them both.

About the Author

 

Jodi-7_

Jodi Ellen Malpas wrote her debut series, The This Man Trilogy, in secret, worried about what people might think if they knew what her imagination was capable of. She was shocked herself. But she finally found the courage to unleash her creative streak and self-published THIS MAN – the first book of the This Man Trilogy – in October 2012. She took a chance on the story with a hero who soon became one of modern day fictions most prolific alpha male characters. Jesse Ward – also affectionately known as The Lord of The Manor, sparked incredible reactions from women across the globe and catapulted Jodi into the world of romance.

She was soon signed by Grand Central Publishing, part of the Hachette Book Group, and the third book of the trilogy, This Man Confessed, took Jodi to the top of the bestsellers lists, earning her the proud title of #1 New York Times Bestselling Author. This Man has since been voted one of the top romance novels of all time. With so much love and enthusiasm for her words, Jodi suddenly wasn’t afraid of her imagination anymore and has since let it run riot. Writing powerful love stories and creating addictive characters has become her passion—a passion she now shares with her devoted readers.

Jodi was born and raised in the Midlands town of Northampton, England, where she lives with her real-life man, her boys, and a beagle. She is a self-professed daydreamer, a Converse and mojito addict, and has a terrible weak spot for alpha males.  Her work is now published in more than twenty-five languages across the world.

Synopsis
 

Benson Bayou Beauregard is the president of the Bear Bottom Guardians MC, and the grandson of the Sergeant at Arms for the Dixie Wardens MC. He’s a mountain of a man and the warden of a prison, and there’s only one thing that can scare him—being told that he’s the father of a three-year-old little girl. 

A three-year-old little girl that has no clue who he is. Hell, he only finds out about the little cherub when a woman from child protective services comes by and rocks his world before leaving the girl in his shocked arms. 

Every single thing he thinks he knows goes up in a cloud of smoke. 

To make matters worse, the woman that he’s been trying to convince to give him a chance takes one look at the little girl and tells him that he’s just not in the right place to handle both of them. 

But Bayou was never one to back down from a challenge. 

He can handle a three-year-old girl that acts exactly like him, and he can more than take on the fiery red-head that sets flame to his blood while he’s at it.

4 / 3.75 ‘You’re Not Broken. You’re Perfect.’ Stars

 

Oh my Lord, Lani Lynn Vale sure knows how to surprise us that’s for sure! One Chance, Fancy was not what I was expecting, but still she made me fall in love with Bayou and Phoebe, just the same!

I have to say that for the very first time in a very long while I’m struggling and debating between these two close ratings, that’s how much this book threw me off, lol.

Phoebe didn’t want me.
There was no doubt in my mind about that.
Nobody wanted the fucked-up ones, and I was about as fucked up as they came.

Bayou, oh Bayou, he completely made me fall for him and his self consciousness. Suffering from Asperger’s Syndrome, his whole life has been a constant battle, specially his childhood and early adulthood, but thanks to meeting a fifteen year old Phoebe and he showing him he was worth it, his focus shifted and he managed to make a place for himself, and lessen/control his idiosyncrasies. 

I’m broken.”
“You’re not broken,” I said. “You’re perfect.

My heart broke for him, in both those meetings, and so did Phoebe’s. They made such an impact on each other’s future they never forgot those two chance meetings. 

I loved to see and witness these encounters, and they sure did the build up for both characters, but I was left so confused because given how they portrayed the impact they had on each other, and how Bayou described him self in the first half of the book, as abhorred by contact and touch with others, specially women, given his issues, I was so – even if the blurb pointed out there was secret baby trope – that he apparently had flings during those years after Phoebe making such an impact in his life and he said himself she was always in his mind. With how much we were in his head and saw just how much he secluded himself from others, I never expected him to be a ONS kind of guy, specially given it required contact to do so, hence my shock when this sweet little girl pops up from a fling from three years prior. Phoebe on the other hand was fifteen at the time, and having dated, could never move forward because he was indeed always on her mind. The encounters were long before (ten years), and she had no deep seated personal issues like he did, so I’d expect her to at least move on too, given she didn’t as she pointed out, I was completely thrown of by the confused setting upon discovery of little Isa, who was adorable, btw! 

That being said, that was the only reason why I couldn’t get past the flabbergasted reaction to finding out that about Bayou, but the man – for someone who felt so inadequate –  sure knew how to be the swoon worthiest of male characters. If not for my issues with the inconsistency of the setting/character, I would have definitely  given One Chance, Fancy, the five stars. Yep, he was THAT amazing!

You’re like that bird in the sky that he’s so captivated by that he wants nothing more than to reach out and keep you.”

The way Bayou basically worshipped Phoebe from the moment they got together, and he saw she wanted him just as much as he wanted her, it was IRRESISTIBLE! OMG, he was just so darn amazing, and their relationship… wow, let’s just say, full steam head!!!

And all the secondary characters – ok, except crazy Brielle, that gave just enough OW drama to the story, that there was no need for other ‘villain’ – were just brilliant. I loved to see the past couples and future leading men, but specially SAM!!! This man just keeps getting better and better, and no one can beat him as DAD, and the way he loves and supports his little girls (not so little anyone). I can’t wait to see him again, specially with his last one Piper… 😉

Ms. Vale sure knows how to keep us hooked to the story from start to finish, and leave us feeling happy and excited for the couples she presents, Bayou and his Fancy, just proved that once again. Already beyond anxious for Zee and Jubilee’s story, I’ll bet it’s doing to be quite a ride!

Cover Model: Jeremy Baudoin

Design: Helen Williams

Photographer:  Alexis Salgues

Faking It never felt so good in this red-hot new standalone by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg – available NOW!

 

Synopsis

Zane Phillips mistook me for his dog walker. It shouldn’t surprise me that the man with a suit more expensive than my rent would assume that I was there to serve him. The positive? I put him in his place. The negative? I missed my job interview because of it. Now I find out he’s a rich Australian entrepreneur, and he wants to make up for tanking my interview.

Yes, he’s impossibly hot – but he’s also an arrogant jackass – so…no thanks.

But after a little white lie I tell spirals out of control, I’m somehow offered the chance to play Zane’s girlfriend to help promote his new dating website – and the best part? He can’t say no because he’ll get caught in his lie, too.

Little did I know this would entail sharing a tour bus with him for the next few months. The fact that the bus has just one bed isn’t the most ideal of circumstances, but this spokesperson gig might be the kick in the pants my career needs, so why not take a chance?

Famous last words.

Now I’m crisscrossing the country – and sharing that bed – with the one guy I can’t stand. And even worse, my traitorous body is wondering at every turn what it’s like to be down under the gorgeous Australian. But as the miles unfurl, so does our passion…and if I’m not careful, I might end up believing that fairy tales really do come true.

Synopsis

It doesn’t take much to become the laughing stock of reality television. Just ask Theodore “Theo-Dog” Legend. Once you’ve pissed on a fire hydrant in front of the paparazzi, no one ever lets you forget it.

Hadley Holiday is on her way to being America’s sweetheart, thanks to her dog training routine on a national talent show. Although she didn’t win first prize, she snagged Theo’s attention and he’ll do just about anything to make her his—even if it means being the butt of everyone’s joke once again.

Hadley wants a career in showbiz. Theo needs to get rid of that doggone nickname—pun intended. Pairing the two together on a new show sounds like a disaster waiting to happen… or it could be the best thing that’s ever happened to them.

Excerpt

 

“Okay. Change of plans—pie first, cleaning later. I get weepy when I’m hanky.”

“Hanky?” Theo followed me to the kitchen.

“It’s a portmanteau.” Walking over to the table, I removed the foil from the dish. Steam billowed up, carrying the heavenly scent of apples and cinnamon with it.

“I’m sorry, a what?” Sounding utterly confused, Theo went over to a small white coffee maker next to the sink and punched a button. It sputtered for a few seconds before the aroma filled the room.

He grabbed two mismatching mugs from the cabinet. Setting them down, he leaned back against the counter while he waited for me to explain.

“Blending two words to make one,” I said. “Hungry and cranky equals hanky.”

“Isn’t the term ‘hangry?’”

“No, I don’t think that fits. I don’t get mad,” I clarified. “Just irritable.”

“It’s kinda like my nickname, huh? Putting Theodore and dog together.”

“Yeah, kind of like that.” I grimaced because he obviously wasn’t a fan of the combination. “I’m sure whoever came up with that thought they were being very clever.”

“They probably got promoted.”

“Probably.”

“Well, I’m feeling mighty humpy myself.” When he said the word ‘humpy’, I could’ve sworn I saw his pelvis do a slight thrust.

I almost fell over. “Excuse me?”

He sent me a grin that did funny things to my stomach. “Portmanteau. Hungry and grumpy. Humpy.”

That was inappropriate but also correct. I couldn’t knock him for coming up with his own word, even if it did draw my attention to his groin.

I tried to force myself to look away from his lower half, but it was really difficult.

Because now that I wasn’t scrutinizing his living quarters, my thoughts went elsewhere: straight to the gutter.

The gray fabric of his pants stretched over his crotch, and he probably wasn’t wearing underwear because I could see a very distinct outline of his dick.

I didn’t mean to stare at it, but it was just right there. Out in the open. And alarmingly large. It was like spotting a rare animal in the wild. The thing practically needed its own Australian accented voiceover.

Inexperienced as I was when it came to actual sex, I wasn’t completely innocent. I knew what a semi-erect penis looked like. The length of it rested against his thigh and the definition of the thick head was impressive.

I swallowed hard.

“Hey.” Theo’s voice startled me, and my eyes snapped up to his.

My cheeks were on fire. I’d been caught, and I wanted nothing more than to sink under the table and hide.

“Hi,” I squeaked, lowering myself into the chair.

“Let’s just blame the rough start to the day on low blood sugar. Deal?”

Well, that wasn’t what I’d expected him to say, but it was a lot better than him calling me out for eye-balling his junk.

“Deal,” I responded. Then for my own benefit, I added the reminder, “I’m looking forward to being coworkers and friends.”

His left eyebrow arched on the word ‘friends.’

Dang it. Maybe he did see me checking him out after all.

For the sake of my sanity, I really hoped he was planning to wear jeans for the show. And maybe some underwear with crotch-confining support. Like a girdle, but for penises.

Synopsis
 

The Wellington Way. My mother’s favorite motto wasn’t something I bought into, even after watching each of my cousins fall hard and fast for their women.

That all changed the night Alyssa Covington came into my life like a whirlwind, showing me exactly what I’d been missing. It took just one night for her to knock me on my ass, twist me inside out, and fall head over cock.

The morning after? She left without a second glance in her rearview mirror. Fortunately for me, her sister’s marrying my cousin, and there’s no way she can escape me now.

The only problem?

She wants nothing to do with me.

Little does Alyssa know, I never give up, even if I have to fight dirty.

**

My sister told me there was nothing like loving a Wellington. I didn’t buy it.

Until I found out that stranger I gave my virginity to? Shane Wellington.

He’s the antithesis of my dream man, yet it took just one night for me to become addicted. Unfortunately for us, that perfect night led to a disastrous morning after and I did what I do best. I ran, fooling myself by thinking I could quickly get him out of my system. 

When circumstances throw us together again, I can’t forget the time we spent together. His piercing blue eyes hold me hostage, and I know the truth.

Shane and I aren’t over. Oh no, we’ve just begun.

The only problem?

It doesn’t matter what I want.

I can have nothing to do with him.

What happens when the perfect one-night stand just isn’t enough?

4 ‘Resistance of Steel’ Stars

 

AWWW… How I ADORE these Wellingtons! And damn, did Alyssa put Shane through the ringer! Sexy, emotional, witty with a touch of funny, Conflict is the perfect addiction to this already spectacular Wellington series! 

Shane and Alyssa’s first meeting, first night, was combustive to say the least. Having met in circumstances outside their usual environments, even after just one night, they know the big impact of their insta-connection.   

As if one taste, one feel of her was enough to make me become an addict. It’s one addiction I’ll never try to combat.

But destiny works in the strangest of ways, and learning they aren’t such disconnected strangers after all, and the fact that both work for arch nemesis companies, threw them of their cloud nine. Or at least it did for Alyssa, the woman held on to any reason as lifeline to justify her fears and insecurities. Shane on the other hand, even though not sure what he was truly feeling, but having heard all his life about the Wellington way, was much more open to explore and discover what that insane feeling of connection was. 

“I felt—I still feel—it, too. There’s this crazy invisible force drawing me to you. It should scare me, too, but, Alyssa, it doesn’t.”

The way I feel right now? It’s not infatuation. It’s not lust. It’s more than primal desire or need. It’s her, and I have no words to explain exactly what I’m feeling other than claiming possession of her.

Man, oh man, but Alyssa was the queen of pushing away! I have to confess that HUGE extent of her resistance and unmoving stubbornness, ended up being off putting to the story. One year – and the big majority of the book, to be honest –  of running and pushing away from  Shane was far too much, imo, so much so that her valid initial motives, ended up taking back sit to her pure obstinacy, and its a shame because this story has so many captivating and heart touching scenes, that had the resistance not been taken to this extent, it would have been up there with my fav epic love stories. 

Because let’s be honest.
When you get a taste of decadence, one bite is never enough.

That being said, Shane enchanted me from the start, even with his too cocky attitude, and his single guy persona, we never doubted – even when he said otherwise – the true impact that Alyssa had in just that couple of nights! It was enough for him to NEVER let go and fight and persistantly pursue her for more than one year! Even with all her pushing away and sky high walls of resistance, the man never truly gave up, and knew there was something there worth fighting for, he was the stuff best book boyfriends are made of!!! Swoon! 

Love happens when it happens. That’s what makes it so incredible, that each story is unique and special and its own. There’s magic in serendipity. There’s magic in the slow burn that smolders and sizzles. There’s magic in the in between.”

Another HUGE highlight for me – and I have to say a big contributor for the rating, given how off putting the extent of the pushing away from Alyssa was – was Shane’s brotherly relationship with Brandon. Though cousins, you truly felt their bond as much deeper than blood relation, and you could feel that in all their interactions. So added to it, the extra snippets we got from his and Ari’s incredible courtship and love story, it basically made the book for me.

This extra time and insight we got into their interconnected love stories, that delighted me to no end, sadly wasn’t enough reflected, due once again to Alyssa’s stubbornness, in couple time for the main couple, Shane and Alyssa. Having them apart the big majority of the book stole not only our enjoyment, but the development of their love story, and even with little and sweet Epilogue, left us wanting more of them, Shane and Alyssa – the couple.

Conflict truly fit perfectly with this extraordinary, one of my all time fav series, and there is never enough time to enjoy these Wellington men! And to see how they fall for their destined ones! Sigh… Shane and Alyssa’s was no different, and minus that far too prolongued pushing away, some repetitions and inconsistencies – normal to this stage, that I have no doubt will be fixed upon editing – it was a captivating, heart touching, super sexy, clever and funny love story, that reflected Ms. Teevan’s talented story telling, and left me wishing to see even more of these Wellington (specially more Shane and Alyssa!). Can’t wait to see who of them will fall next!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Folgers got it wrong.
The best part of waking up is the woman of your dreams in your arms.

I’m never going to push you away. The only thing I want to do for the rest of my life is hold you close. Starting now.”

Be mine for the rest of our lives, because this life is nothing if you’re not by my side.”
