But he was never mine to love.

Reckless Memories Cover

Prologue
Isabelle

PAST

“I would rather sit on a hill of fire ants in my underwear while eating ghost peppers.” I leaned against the counter and popped a cracker into my mouth. My nose wrinkled. It was one of those multigrain ones that tasted more like cardboard than actual food.

“Isabelle Marie Kipton, I have had just about enough of your snarkiness, young lady.”

But I wasn’t a young lady, at least not in my mother’s estimation. Young ladies were poised and put-together and never questioned the dictates their parents set for them. I questioned everything, never went along easily, and was far too disheveled to gain any sort of approval from my parents.

I stared unblinkingly at my mother, not giving an inch.

“You will sit at that dinner table, and you will be composed and polite to our company.”

I let out a snort. “Like their daughter is composed and polite to me?” Lacey was more like the Devil incarnate, but she wore her pretty, polite mask perfectly. So, my mother might as well have thought she was the Second Coming.

Violet looked up from where she was arranging a platter of hors d’oeuvres. “Lacey snaps back because you bait her. Maybe you two are just more similar than you’d like to admit, and you ruffle each other’s feathers.”

I glanced up at my older sister. The perfect image of the young lady my parents wished I would be, with her impeccably styled hair and future-doctor composure. She might as well have been a stranger. When had that happened? I searched my mind for the date the switch had been flipped, when Violet had gone from friend and confidante, the sister who’d always had my back, to someone I couldn’t even begin to understand most of the time.

“You can be friends with her all you want, Vi. I’ll take a pass on having vicious snakes in my circle.” I glanced at my mother. “Or sharing a dinner table with them.”

Red crept up my mother’s neck and seeped into her face. “What is wrong with you?” I stayed silent. The list of what my mother found wrong with me would take us all night to get through. “That’s it. Hand over your phone.”

My fingers tightened around the edge of the counter. “Are you seriously taking my cell because I don’t want to have dinner with someone who’s awful to me? Who bullies my friends, and is cruel to everyone who isn’t in her little gang of followers? I’ve tried to tell you time and again that she’s not who you think she is.”

My mother held out her hand. “Perhaps if you kept better company, these things wouldn’t be an issue. You are who you spend time with, Isabelle. And those girls you run around with are not what I want for your future.”

My back teeth ground together as I slipped my hand into my back pocket, pulling out the device she’d requested and placing it in her palm. No phone meant no emergency line to my best friends, to Ford, to the people who kept me sane amidst the insanity that my mother brought about. I kept my face carefully blank. I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction of knowing that she’d impacted me in any way. She didn’t deserve to know she had that power.

“Since you insist on acting childish, you’ll be treated as one. Your curfew is now nine p.m.”

I gave her nothing. I was already a prisoner in this home full of people who’d rather judge me than try and understand where I was coming from.

Synopsis

I loved him before I knew what the word meant.
From skinned knees to first dates and everything in between.
But he was never mine to love.
I settled for friendship, even though I always wanted more.

That was before.
Before he ripped my world apart and didn’t bother sticking around to help me pick up the pieces.
I knit every last shred back together all on my own.
And I’ve all but forgotten his name.

Now, he’s back, and everything is torn apart once more.
But he’s not the only one doing the tearing this time.
And there might be no stopping the person who has it out for us both.

What Are Friends For?
By Sarah Sutton
Genre: YA Romance
FALLING IN LOVE ISN’T COMPLICATED…UNLESS IT’S WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND.
A close, easygoing friendship can all change with just one kiss. Seventeen-year-old Remi Beaufort learns this the hard way when she plays a blindfolded kissing game at a party.
She thinks she’s kissing Jeremy, the totally hot basketball player she’s been crushing on. And the kiss…it’s amazing. Heart-stopping, world-changing, toe-curling. The kiss makes her forget about her overbearing mother, the next-door neighbor’s drama, and the probability that she’ll fail her senior year. The best kiss of her life makes all that fall away.
Until her blindfold falls off, and she realizes that instead of kissing her crush, she’s kissing Elijah, her best friend since third grade.
Though she manages to convince Elijah that he was kissing his girlfriend, Remi can’t get the thought of his lips on hers out of her head. As things between them grow more and more complicated—because it turns out her fantasizing about his mouth is more of a problem than it sounds—Remi has to make a choice: does she live the rest of her life loving her best friend in secret? Or does she tell the truth and risk ruining their friendship forever?
Heart-melting and romantic, What Are Friends For? is a swoon-worthy best-friends-to-lovers story that will leave you crushing hard.

waff - my review

Remi and Elijah are in high school and the best of friends who have never thought of each other in a romantic manner until that night.   A kissing game in a dark closet goes sideways and instead of Remi kissing the boy she was crushing on she ends up kissing Elijah instead.    It wouldn’t have been so unsettling if it wasn’t for the fact that he thought he was kissing his girlfriend or that it raised feelings in Remi that had her conflicted about their relationship.

Remi and Elijah both have some issues they are continuing to deal with when it comes to their family but this story is really about the uncertainty and obstacles that they face as they try to decide if becoming more than friends is what they are destined to be or if it will ruin the relationship that they both hold so dear?

The characters are compelling, the emotion of the story pulls you in and the secondary characters add another layer to this story.    This is my first story by this author, and I would definitely read her future books.

Title: SHE LOVES ME

About She Loves Me:

Fall in love in Harmony Pointe, where hearts are lost, found, and sometimes misplaced…and everyone get a happy ever after.

If a woman can’t find love in the quaint town of Harmony Pointe, it’s sure to find them—whether they’re looking for it or not.

Something is off in Piper Dalton’s life, and she has a feeling it might just be her. All her siblings are blissfully settled with their forever loves. But while her sisters were dreaming of white weddings, Piper was left heartbroken and commitment phobic by her first love, her best friend’s younger brother. As a woman dominating the male-driven construction industry, Piper has no interest in turning in her hammer for an apron—even if hot and hilarious Harley thinks otherwise.

Burly bar owner Harley Dutch has a bum ankle and two preteen nieces to take care of, and having his best friend, tough-as-nails and sexy-as-sin Piper Dalton, come to his rescue is just the remedy he needs. Piper is her snarky self, and she kind of sucks at caregiving, but she’s owned his heart for years, she’s got a way with the girls, and Harley would sure like to have his way with her

As things heat up between Piper and Harley, she warns him not to fall in love with her because she’ll only break his heart. Harley is the right man for that challenge—until he makes the biggest mistake of his life, and they begin to wonder if true love really can conquer all.

💙Review💙

Harley has loved Piper since she was a teenager, but she has never seen him as more than her best friend. When he finds himself on crutches it is Piper who not only comes to pick him up from the hospital, but she is there to support him as he is currently looking after his two nieces while his sister recovers from surgery.
 
Piper has decided that love is not in her future as men tend to find it intimidating that she is more comfortable working with her father in construction than anywhere else. She has noticed how attractive Harley is but she doesn’t want to destroy the relationship that they do have.
 
Harley is determined to test the boundaries of their relationship and show Piper that as great as they as friends they would be even better as lovers. He is willing to be patient, but he will convince her that he loves her just the way she is and wouldn’t change a thing.
 
This is a sweet and sexy story about two people who couldn’t be more perfect together and catching up with the other characters we know and love is always fun.

 

 

 

 

Dear Future Ex-wife
Jillian Quinn
Publication date: April 23rd 2020
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Romance

I, Harley McQueen, do not take Nathan King to be my husband…

I wish I could say no to this wedding. But to save our fathers’ company, my ex-best friend needs a fake bride to bail him out of his latest scandal.

Nate has a reputation with women.

I want the promotion my father has denied me for years.

Together, maybe we can make this fake marriage work.

As long as I don’t fall in love with him…

Again.

Goodreads / Amazon / Bookbub

EXCERPT:

“Hey there, Queen,” Nate says as he approaches me with a wicked smile on his handsome face. “You look happy to see me,” he jokes, wiggling his eyebrows.

My throat closes up at the sight of him. His dark, wavy hair is gelled and styled to perfection. Tall and muscular, he fills out every inch of the navy suit that molds to his body. Women drool over him now, but I know the nerdy boy who had hair that would never stay put. His teeth were such a mess, he wore braces until our sophomore year of high school. And for a few years, I was several inches taller than Nate. But now, when he leans in to hug me, he has to dip down to meet my height.

He towers over me, his masculine scent filling my nostrils as he kisses my cheek. My skin tingles from the unexpected contact. Heat rushes to my face, which is now on fire from his delicate touch. He’s only doing this because he knows I won’t make a scene in front of our families. Nate takes every opportunity he gets to irritate me.

For as much as I hate him, I still miss him. So, when I hug him back it’s a real one. I don’t want to let him go, and the feeling seems to be mutual.

Nate clutches me, his fingers digging into my back. “You look good,” he whispers against the shell of my ear, sending chills down my arms. “I can see the Pilates paid off.”

I gasp at his comment.

Nate laughs in response.

Damn him.

I hate showing that he has any effect on me. More than anything I wish he didn’t have a single ounce of control over me. But he does.

Nate tugs on a strand of my hair, twirling it around his finger. He did this when we were kids because he thought it was funny when I slapped him. My former best friend was an oddball. And now, he’s doing it to torment me. Men like Nate can smell desire on women. He damn well knows I think he’s hot. Nate looks like a walking orgasm in his expensive, silky suit that was tailor-made for him. Everything about him screams sex and money.

“Let’s get started,” my dad says, snapping me back to reality.

I flick Nate’s finger, and he drops his hand to his side. He stares me down with his hauntingly beautiful eyes. When I turn my back to Nate, Stefan is still standing behind the chair he rolled out from the table for me.

Nate sits across from me, though no amount of space is enough because I can practically feel the heat from his gaze rolling down my arms. Our parents get comfortable at the heads of the table, my dad to my left and Richard on the right. Nate’s wingtip hits my heel under the table. I ignore him as he taps me again. A few seconds later, his silky dress sock slides up my calf. I stare across the table at him, and he challenges me with one look.

Do it, his eyes demand. Fight me, Queen.

I hold my breath when his foot grazes my inner thigh. His gaze is pointed down the table at my dad, but I don’t miss the corner of Nate’s mouth lifting slightly into a satisfied smirk. He wants to play with me.

Game on, King.

 

Review

The business partnership and friendship that their fathers shared Harley and Nate shared as well until a misunderstanding in high school left a wedge between them that still hasn’t been bridged.    Harley left town to go to college and has been working for their father’s company on the other side of the country when fate and their fathers conspire to bring them together once again.

Nate has a reputation with the ladies which has now put the family company in a bind and marriage is the solution.    Harley may not want to be near him, let alone marry  him,  but they may just get what they both didn’t know they wanted.

Fun and flirty it was apparent that the chemistry and connection between Nate and Harley was stronger than ever but first they need to work through the misunderstandings in the past.

Review

Claire is still healing from the betrayal of those she thought she could trust so when she finds out her ex is attending her friend’s wedding she is determined to show her that she is over him and that means she needs a date. Running out of time and options her matchmaking Gran has the perfect solution and he is more than up for the task.

Leo is the perfect combination of sweet and sinful, but he is also her ex’s stepbrother. Not only doesn’t he like how Claire was treated but he has wanted Claire for a while so he is more than willing to not only be her date but show her that this date will only be the beginning.

Not only are Claire and Leo great characters but the secondary characters really enhance the story. This story has found the perfect balance of heat, humor and heart as they search for the happy ever after they both deserve.

Lovewrecked - RB banner.jpg

From New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle comes a sexy new standalone romantic comedy about getting stuck on a deserted island with a man you hate to love and love to hate.

Lovewrecked is LIVE!

LOVEWRECKED-FOR-WEB.jpg

Daisy Lewis is experiencing a relentless string of bad luck.

Fortunately, Daisy has her sister’s destination wedding coming up. A week of sand, sea, and sun in the South Pacific as the maid-of-honor is exactly what Daisy needs to forget her upturned life and focus on the positive.

That is until Daisy meets the best man.

If you take tall, dark, and handsome, and add a dash of rugged, a pinch of brooding, and a whole lot of sexy, you’ve got Tai Wakefield. Unfortunately he’s also a major grump, total alpha, and seemingly out to antagonize Daisy at every turn.

As if being part of the wedding party with Tai wasn’t bad enough, Daisy’s bad luck soon resurfaces when she ends up on a cramped sailboat with Tai and the newlyweds.

Which then shipwrecks on a deserted island near Fiji.

Okay, so they aren’t completely alone. There’s an oddball research scientist who has been isolated for far too long, they have rundown bungalows as shelter, stores of water and canned food, plus a feral goat named Wilson. It’s Lost…without the smoke monster.

But with rescue weeks away, Tai and Daisy realize the only way they’re going to get through this mess is to stop fighting and start working together.

And with their guards down, they get closer.

A lot closer.

Soon, Daisy realizes that the only thing worse than being stuck on a deserted island, is being stuck on a deserted island with a man she hates to love and loves to hate.

A man that can break her heart.

Advance praise for Want Me Always:

“A heartfelt story that will make you laugh and swoon! The perfect feel-good read!” –Laura Kaye, NYT Bestselling Author

“A seaside reunion story that will have you believing that love heals heartbreak and truly transcends time.” ~ Christi Barth, USA Today bestselling author

 

Review

After being betrayed by her fiancé Donovan needs to put some distance between her and the place that caused her so much pain, so she returns to Heron Harbor, a town that held so many happy memories as a child. What she wasn’t expecting was to reunite with Smith, her childhood friend or the feelings she still had for him.

Smith has achieved his dream of being a chef and owning his own restaurant but as soon as Donovan returns to town, he knows that she is what his life has been missing. He wants them to have a future together and now he just needs to convince her that her heart is safe in his hands.

I really enjoyed the small town setting as well this heartwarming story about two people who have always belonged together.

Sshh…can you keep a secret?
If you’re hiding in the dark,
How long ‘til you leak it?
If you really must tell all
How far can we sweep it?
If you lay down the gauntlet
Can you make us leap it?
You know who we are
You know what we did
Will you keep it to yourself
Or will you lift the lid?
Sshh…can you keep a secret?
HONEY
Psst…want to know a secret?
It’s big, it’s bad, it’s ugly
And I don’t think I can keep it
If I tell and you find out
Your wrath, you will heap it
The tide will turn, you will learn
And now you shall reap it
I know who you are
I know what you did
Will I keep it to myself
Or will I lift the lid
Psst…want to know a secret?

EXCERPT #1:

The sex was different this time. It was slower and more intentional. It was more than just a physical release driven by a biological urge. It was more than an act of defiance between sexually compatible adversaries. It was more than a battle of wills, or a struggle for dominance. It was so much more than a race toward a certain end. I had no trouble determining what it wasn’t. What I struggled with was what it was. We’d turned a corner, that was for sure. Where we were headed after that, I had no idea.

 
EXCERPT #2:

“We’re making out. Who said anything about sex? We’re not going t—”⁣

“Stop lying to yourself. This is on as it’s ever been between two people. More, even. And that’s cool. We fuck. We get all the shit out of our systems. Then we never talk about it, or anything else, for that matter, again. You’ll stay out of my way. I’ll stay out of yours. It will be like it never happened.”⁣


“You’re insane.” So was I for even kissing this guy. “I’m not having sex with you, anywhere, but especially not here.” I spread my arms, indicating to the clearing we’d stopped at to catch our breath at the end of the uphill hike.⁣

“You keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile, in the real world, this was always going to happen. It was a case if when, not if.” He actually was crazy. “Besides, what’s insane about two people who have chemistry, fucking because they want to, and because they can? I’ll let you into a little secret, too…This is what bears do in the woods.” He grinned hard, overly pleased with his little joke, which it pained me to admit, was pretty damned funny.⁣

Review

What Honey really wants to look into is this secret group she has heard whispers about but instead she is tasked with writing a profile article on Bear, one of the football players.    Things are about to get interesting when she is sent a picture and now she needs to figure out what to do about it.

The last thing that Bear wants is to have anyone looking at him or his friends too closely especially after the anonymous picture he receives.    He is loyal to his brothers and determined to protect them, but Honey is a distraction he wasn’t expecting.

Honey and Bear were fun to watch as there was no denying the sparks between them whether it was in anger or in lust and it is always great to catch up with the rest of the crew.   I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

MV ELLIS knows what it’s like to fall head over heels in love with a badass musician. She followed her heart halfway around the world to be with one. She moved from London to Sydney after a steamy holiday romance with a sexy bass player in sultry Brazil.

Twelve years, two children and a dog later, and she’s still smitten. All this with a guy she sat next to on a bus for 36 hours! She has toured internationally as a ‘WAG’, and her experiences inspire her writing.

Ellis’ love of romance began when she was 11 years old, after a summer spent secretly reading her auntie’s books. She’s been a sucker for an alpha hero and strong heroine ever since.

An avid reader, Ellis always knew that she’d write a book of her own one day. She was right about that. Following a career spanning advertising, marketing, and social media, she finally wrote Catching London in 2017.

She has continued to expand the Heartless Few series beyond Catching London, with releases planned through to 2020. In addition, she has launched a new four-part series, Rough Ink series, set in the sexy world of a New York tattoo studio. Expect the same sexy badass guys, angst galore, witty banter, scorching bedroom scenes, and kickass sassy women; but with a whole new world, and cast of characters to get to know and love. Zed, the first book in the series launched in June 2019.

A Standalone Romantic Comedy

Book Blurb:

She wants to steal his Van Gogh. He wants to steal her heart.

Some people would call Clementine Abernathy a criminal. She considers herself a modern day Robin Hood, who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Not exactly on the up-and-up, but she knows what it’s like to lose everything. Her latest heist involves swiping a priceless Van Gogh from its owner, who’s supposed to be an egotistical trust-fund brat.

Turns out Jack David is a sexy, kind-hearted man…and Clementine is in trouble. Falling for her mark would make her the World’s Dumbest Conwoman, but Jack is charmingly persistent, always singing sweet songs in her ear.

And that earth-shattering kiss? She never stood a chance.

Now she’s imagining a fresh start with this dashing man, but that means telling Jack about her past. And other nefarious sorts are after the same painting. Too soon, Clementine learns what it means to risk it all for love.

Review

Clementine’s past has shaped her into the woman she is today. All she wants is to take wealth from those who wouldn’t even miss it and give it to those that need it the most. This had worked well for her until she met Jack and gets to see the man rather than the wealth.

Jack may be wealthy, but he also has a big heart and those he loves he loves deeply. He is enchanted by Clementine from their first meeting and he sees beneath her demeanor to the vulnerable woman that she hides from the world.

The more time that they spend together the stronger the feelings that Clementine develops for Jack but even if she decides to not go through with her plan there is no way he can forgive her is there?

Clementine and Jack were so adorable together and this is more than just a romantic comedy as it not only has all the feels but there a few surprises you don’t see coming.
