❤️Review ❤️
Abigail has endured two heartbreaking tragedies that have left her feeling alone and uncertain how to move forward. Her friends are determined to be there for her as she tries to deal with her new reality but when it comes to Elliot it feels like too little too late.
When it comes to Elliot his family situation is very different from Abigail but has its own set of complications. He is the son who can never do enough to please his father and despite his feelings for Abigail he knows that the best way to protect her is to distance himself from her.
The beginning of Abigail’s and Elliot’s story is emotional and heart wrenching. The characters are captivating, and they understand each other in a way that no one else does and it leaves us needing to know where they go from here.

True love is…taking a wooden stake to the abdomen for the lady you met two days ago.
I was sitting in a cantina smoking a cigar when I first saw her.
Eyes like honey and a body that tempted me to do something so irrational it would have killed any other man.
Lucky for me, my handy dandy weapon of choice was close by.
But she was worth it.
And I found that I was especially fond of her abilities with a corkscrew.
How could it not be love at first sight?
Although, my teammates could have shown just a little more enthusiasm when I showed up.
But no, they were focused on the gaping hole in my side.
Oh, and the little fact that I hadn’t bothered to call.
Still, couldn’t a guy get a hug or even a pat on the shoulder?
Or…hey, is that your wife? She’s totally hot. How about some shawarma?
You know, it’s almost like they didn’t miss me.
I picked up my cigar and waited for him to notice me, the lone ranger sitting in the corner with zero fucks to give. It didn’t take him long to notice the man who had nearly taken off his head. Well, had I aimed a little lower.
In a rage, the man strode around the bar, storming over to my table. He pulled a gun from the waistband of his pants, aiming directly at me. But I wasn’t afraid. It was in his stance, the way he held his gun, the way his finger wasn’t quite in the right position. This man threatened people with a gun, but he wasn’t nearly trained enough to use it.
“You dare shoot me in my own bar?” the man shouted.
Ah, so he was the owner, using his position to threaten those around him. He intimidated my Honey with his position, using deplorable tactics to get what he wanted. I knew men like him. I killed men like him.
“I didn’t shoot you,” I said casually, tapping the end of my cigar and letting the flakes fall into the dish. “If I was shooting at you, I wouldn’t have missed.”
The man spluttered at me, his face mottled with rage as he stared at me. “You need to leave my bar.”
“Not without Honey.”
His eyes flicked to the woman he was just threatening. “She is not yours.”
“She’s a hell of a lot more than mine.” I stood, holstering my weapon. Yeah, he still had his out, but that did nothing to make me flinch. The man couldn’t hit me unless he was holding the gun against my chest, and even then, it was highly unlikely he’d kill me.
“You have no right, gringo,” he spat.
I walked around the table until I was standing right in front of him. His gun pressed against my chest and he really started to sweat. “Do it,” I hissed. “Pull the trigger.”
“I—”
He didn’t know what to say, and didn’t want to become a murderer. His eyes flicked to Honey again, and then he pressed the gun harder against my chest. He wanted to do it. He wanted to watch the blood seep from my body, but he couldn’t.
In one swift move, I grabbed the gun from his hand and slammed it down on his head. He dropped to the ground, out cold and not going anywhere anytime soon. Honey came rushing over, her eyes filled with tears as she leapt into my arms.
“You saved me,” she cried. “No one has ever done anything like that for me before.”
I slowly lifted the cigar to my mouth and took a long drag. “And you’ll never have to know what it’s like not to have me around.”
❤️Review❤️
A blast from the past resurfaces and the stories they have to tell will have you questioning what is fact and what is fiction but that only makes it that much more enjoyable.
Not only do we get to reacquaint ourselves with this captivating character but once again we get to experience the camaraderie that the teammates and their wives have with each other.
Startling revelations, humor that is sure to bring a smile to your face as well the action and adventure that is an integral part of this series.
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
When Jordan Threat falls into a glowing whirlpool in the Bermuda Triangle, he wakes up on a tropical beach in another world. A world where pirates still rule the seas with tall-masted galleons and blood-slicked cutlasses. And it isn’t long before Jordan spills some blood himself, rescuing a gorgeous, blue-skinned sea nymph from the barbarous cutthroats.
The pirates have kidnapped this world’s most powerful supernatural beings, and this long-legged, scantily clad magical warrior must set them free. And she can’t do it alone. But after Jordan agrees to help her, he also rescues a spunky little redhead with an hourglass figure and a passion for steampunk machinery.
Sparks fly when the girls meet. The engineer has a deep distrust for magic, and the nymph has a gills-deep grudge against technology. But they each have a personal score to settle with the pirates. And they both have the hots for Jordan…
Can this rag-tag team of lusty misfits defeat the pirates and prevent a magical apocalypse? Can Jordan convince the girls to kiss and make up, using nothing but his rugged charm and his enormous… negotiation skills? Whatever happens, one thing is for sure. Jordan Threat is going to enjoy this strange new world of Magic Steampunk Pirate Booty.

Things that stress out this widowed single mom: high fructose corn syrup, intrusive thoughts about my son getting swept up by a tornado, and the sexiest hockey player to grace this planet.
Oh, and the fact that I’m also said hockey player’s physical therapist. But we’ll lock that tidbit away in the same nightstand as my battery-operated toys.
Moving my son and me across the country to live with my three best friends and our seven children into one dilapidated Boston brownstone should have been the biggest risk I’ve ever taken–not figuring out how to protect my heart, career, and panties while trying to navigate my secret double life.
But Rowan ‘Slick’ Parker is nothing if not hell-bent on taking slapshots at my comfort zone. The more I try to keep things professional, the more he works to break the rules with his charming grin, piercing gaze, and world-class rear end.
Not to mention, he adores my son.
So, I finally give in.
Don’t worry, though, it’s all temporary–a way for us to get each other out of our systems.
But little do I know, ‘temporary’ has a way of leaving lasting impressions on the heart.

Moving with my three best friends and our seven kids into a dilapidated brownstone in Boston may have seemed like the most insane thing I’d do this year. Apparently the universe said hold my beer.
Because last night I got drunk and married my boss.
Don’t worry, it’s all fake. Or at least everything after ‘I Do’ will be.
Beckett Langfield is grumpy, rich and hates kids. I’m an overworked, overstressed, and overweight single mom. The only reason we’re getting married is because he needs to fix a PR disaster and I am available. As in sitting next to him, in a bar, when he has this brilliant idea.
Considering I just got divorced, I’m not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally can’t refuse, so I don’t.
He’ll help fix up our broken house and all I have to do is take a few pictures and pretend we’re happily married.
Easy peasy.
Now if someone could just remind him that it’s all fake.
Authors Note: Mother Faker is book one of the Momcoms Series and features an accidental marriage between a billionaire grump and a plus size single mom who happens to work for him where there is only one bed, tons of laughs, a lot of ducks, and it’s always been you vibes.
I’m a hunted man, forced into witness protection after the man I put behind bars as an undercover DEA agent escapes federal custody. Nothing matters but lying low until he’s recaptured and I can return to normal life until I meet her. Confident, sexy as hell, and my new warden, I crave her the moment our eyes meet. Alone in a safe house on her long horn ranch force us together, turning the lonely days into hot nights that neither of us wants to end.
Anne
I can’t know anything about him or why he entered witness protection, though that doesn’t stop the immediate attraction to the mysterious man. Hard body covered in tattoos, soul-piercing blue eyes, and a filthy mouth. He’s everything I’ve fantasized about but never had.
Getting involved is reckless, putting both at risk.
An unknown threat trying to ruin her and dangerous men hunting him leave them vulnerable.
It will take both trusting each other to survive the dangers lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.
It’s been weeks since our first hookup, but even before we had sex, we were getting closer. He was probably high every time we hung out, kissed, or had sex. And I never even knew it. I was so wrapped up in wanting the boy that I didn’t realize the boy needed my help.
“I don’t want to drag you down with me, Haley.” His hands move up and down my back. “You could go anywhere, do anything, have anyone you wanted.”
“And what I want is you. You are who I want.” I rub his back gently. “Just lie down with me, okay?”
If I can just get him to fall asleep, maybe tomorrow, I can talk some sense into him and convince him that he needs help. At the very least, he needs to tell Coach LaConte. He can’t fight this battle alone even if he thinks he can.
Gently, I reach down and peel his shirt off and kiss his shoulder. Crouching down, I pull down his pants, taking one leg out at a time, leaving him in his boxers. It isn’t about sex right now. It’s about taking care of him when he needs me to.
Slowly, he moves upward to the top of the bed and lies down. And once I’ve taken my own jeans off, I climb into bed and I wrap my entire body around him.
His heart pounds against my ear, and his body trembles against my own. And it’s right now that I know one thing to be true.
I’ll do anything to save this boy. Even if it kills me.
We need rest right now. Tomorrow, we can deal with everything else.
Tomorrow will be better.
BLURB:
I was four when my parents gave me my first pair of skates. By six, I was hooked on hockey and couldn’t get enough. At twelve, I had made a name for myself on the ice. And when I was fifteen, colleges were starting to take notice.
Life was great—until it wasn’t. Because when I was seventeen, my best friend died in my arms. And nothing made sense after that. Drinking turned to smoking. And smoking turned to pills. But no matter how high I got, I couldn’t erase that night. Or the guilt I felt.
Because that night had been my fault. And my friend was dead … because of me.
As my best friend’s baby sister, an actual angel sent from above, Haley Thompson is forbidden fruit, and I should stay away from her. Because everything I touch turns to crap. But like all things I’m not supposed to do, chasing her is another temptation I’m not strong enough to avoid. But when I spiral down, hitting my lowest point, I know I can’t take her with me. Because innocent, sweet souls like her, they don’t belong at the bottom.
The trouble is, she refuses to let go of me. Even if it will ruin her.
There’s only one course of action when your dad wants you to marry a clammy-handed wimp to make one of his board members happy—you get yourself stuck in an elevator with a hot stranger and have the steamiest make-out session of your life. Years of etiquette lessons went out the window thanks to Cameron Wilder, who managed to unleash my hidden bad girl with naught but his talented mouth and deliciously rough hands.
Afterwards, he went back to his small-town life, and I marched home to inform my dad there would be no business-centric nuptials. As punishment, he shipped me off to Sisters, Oregon and demanded I turn a healthy profit on a not-so-healthy property.
You see where I’m going with this—the buttoned-up city girl stuck in a small town hires a local builder to help her … and he’s the hot stranger from the elevator. Turns out, I have a weakness for the broad-shouldered nice guy who’s not so nice behind closed doors. Keeping things professional gets harder the longer I’m in town, until the only lesson I have left to learn is how to keep both our hearts from getting broken.
