Nothing is going to make sense once you flip open this first chapter.
You’re going to wonder why the fuck I made the decisions I did.
Why he did what he did.
I’m not going to make this easy for you.
I’m going to guide you through loops that you’re going to wish I had just skipped, but I’m not going to do that either.
You’re going to feel my pain, my loss, and my heart breaking in my chest.
You’re going towatch me trip and fall, and get back up again.
You’re going to wish you could slap the shit out of Bishop and me, but among all…
I’m going to take you back to when I left the love of my life, and ran.
This is an open letter to you.
Good luck.

About the Author:
Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she's probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin). She's a profound work-a-holic, but when she's not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand.
New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.
From a very early age, I was warned to stay away from the Lawson brothers...
It didn't matter they weren't biological brothers or that one had been adopted on a guilt-driven whim. They considered one another family. They shared a bond like any other brothers would.
Except it ran much deeper.
Darker.
Dirtier.
They had all the power, money, and hunger capable of destroying anyone who stood in their way as they trained to become icons the world watched every four years bring home gold medals.
Little did anyone know, there was only one thing the legends worshipped more than their beloved sport.
Me.

About the Author:
Xavier Neal is a best-selling romance author who enjoys hopping from sub genre to sub genre like a game of Hopscotch she can't resist.
In between writing, she loves to read (everything from romance to self improvement books), watch movies (old and new), eat too much Tex-Mex (her Chuy's t-shirt collection is out of control), and watch AHL hockey games LIVE (preferably against the glass whenever possible).
She currently resides happily in Texas with her bearded husband "Lumberjack” and their two fur babies.
Eight weeks of forced proximity is a long time to hate someone you're trying not to love.
Sebastian Stremmel doesn't need another headache. He has enough of his own without Sara Shapiro, the noisy new reconstructive surgeon, stomping all around his surgical wing with her chippy, chirpy cheerfulness.
But Sebastian doesn't usually get what he wants.
No one gets under his skin like Sara - so much so a heated "debate" and an exam room left in shambles later, they land themselves in eight weeks of hospital-mandated conflict resolution counseling. Now they're forced to fight fair...which quickly leads them to playing dirty when no one's looking.
They know it's a mistake.
They promise themselves it will never happen again.
They swear they got it out of their systems.
They didn't.
Author's Note: Grumpy/recovering people-pleaser sunshine. Introverts attract. Enemies-to-lovers in the workplace. Banter, bicker, and button-pushing foreplay. Don't tell the friend group, get jealous when the friend group tries to fix her up.
Heat: rip her clothes off before you get the front door open.
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I've been meaning to read this author for some time and absolutely loved this amusing, fiery, sexy story!
"Then she parted her lips and looked at me with those big golden-green eyes and I lost my f*cking mind...I stole her lips, taking everything I wanted, just f*cking taking it all."
Sebastian Stremmel and Sara Shapiro DO NOT get on. They don't like each other. They constantly rub each other up the wrong way. One disagreement ends up with them having conflict resolution counselling together. Eight weeks of snippy back-and-forth, not-quite-team-building exercises, and hot, throw-down hate sex! Neither knows where this is all going, and neither is quite prepared for it to be beyond anything other than an enemies-with-benefits arrangement. However, at some point, something has to give.
"He lost himself in my body like I was a treasure rather than a messy perfectionist with a savage heart and an irritable gut. Like I was someone worth keeping."
Oh my gosh! I adored this story! It was funny, spiky, and so deliciously steamy! I loved the dynamic between Sebastian and Sara. Their repartee was sparkling and smart, their sizzling resentment-fuelled chemistry was combustible, and when we got to their tender feelings, I wanted them to be together in body, heart and soul, so freakin' much! I adored how Sebastian really saw Sara. I loved the way he pushed her buttons and how he delighted in her feisty temperament. He made her feel beautiful and precious and seen. His words to her made me swoon and laugh at the same time. Sara was prickly but brilliant at her job. She had a ton of issues and her guard was high. I loved how she got to know Sebastian and realised that a lot of his scowly, growly demeanour was misunderstood. They were made for each other! This was such an amazing story and I need to to find time to read this author's back catalogue.

He’s broody, he’s driven, and he’s coming back to claim what’s his.
“First, do no harm…” It’s the start of my oath as a doctor, and breaking that oath is how I began my career. Only I didn’t just do harm, I watched a man die right in front of me. And not just any man—a man I hated.
I thought his death would bring me peace, but it haunts me to this day. Every close call sparks memories of what I did to him, to me, to her. I have to go back and face what I’ve done or end my career.
Seeing her hits me harder than the regret. She’s still so beautiful with long, dark hair, bright amber eyes, luscious curves. She still dominates my heart, my mind, my bed. But she’s different now—stronger, bolder, unafraid.
We’re a mess, tangled up in a web I created. But I’m determined to heal these wounds, to fix this break. One thing is certain, I won’t say goodbye to her again.

Caroline's Review 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Oh, I loved this story so much!
"Storm rages in her eyes, but we've never been able to deny the power between us. It's as primal as the elements themselves."
Beckham Munroe and Caroline AKA Carly Dennison were childhood sweethearts, until Beck broke her heart and his promises to her. Seven years later, both are back in Eden for different reasons, but it feels like fate is giving them a second chance.
"When I saw her, all I could think was mine. She belongs with me."
I adored Beck and Carly. Their chemistry was off the charts! They were compelling and combustible together. I loved all their sweet memories of the past. Carly was wary and mistrustful of Beck, but I loved his patience and his efforts to woo her back. My heart hurt over the secrets that he kept from her, but I was rooting for them all the way. They were such a gorgeous couple - two people who fit together perfectly. I loved all the secondary characters in this story, too. They were fun, colourful and genuine. There was such a lovely small-town vibe going on in Eden. An all-round fab read full of humour, steam, angst and beautiful love!

A new college campus. A secret bound to explode in my face. And a football player neighbor who is bad news in the best of ways.

I’m the daughter of the president of our college. The president of our college who’s been feuding with the football coach for years. Their bitter campus war leaves us teetering on the edges of a divide we can’t see a way across.
Until resisting him is more than I can handle. He’s risking it all for me. His standing. His season. His future.
Throw in a campus gossip site. My out of control new friends. His way too hot roommates. College traditions. A secret bar and the only guy who’s ever made me feel like he can’t live without me. And I have another secret. Our star-crossed love is my first and I want him to be mine.

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes the next sexy standalone novel in the Campus Series.
Carson Roberts is Western University’s most sought after tight end. He’s the total package. A pretty face to go along with all those sculpted muscles—check. An Academic All-American—double check. A guaranteed one-way ticket to the NFL after graduation—triple check.
Did I also happen to mention that he’s my brother’s best friend, which means I grew up with the guy and have crushed on him for nearly just as long?
We’re talking a decade of unrequited yearning. Don’t worry, I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that he’ll never see me as anything more than the little sis he never had.
Sort of.
And even if he did just so happen to notice that I’ve filled out and no longer wear braces, Brayden would have a major conniption. When it comes to the male species, he’s ridiculously overprotective. Any guy who has so much as given me a bit of side-eye has been treated to a swift and memorable beat down.
Which is precisely why I’m still in possession of my V-card.
Want to know how to make being a nineteen-year-old virgin with a major crush on her brother’s best friend even more pathetic?
Blurt out at a frat party that you’ve spent all these years saving yourself for him. Sadly, I can’t even blame it on the alcohol because I don’t drink.
If you’re thinking it can’t possibly get more humiliating than that, you’d be wrong.
Oh. So. Wrong.
*This is a mature New Adult novel with strong language and sexual situations intended for readers over the age of 18*
Caroline's Review 🌟🌟🌟🌟
This was another great read from this author.
"Being anywhere near Elle is dangerous. Every day, my self-control slips a notch, becoming more of a paper-thin veneer."
Carson Roberts and Elle Kendricks have known each other since childhood. Elle's brother, Brayden, is his best friend but he's pretty tight with Elle, too. He's always looked out for her and that hasn't changed as they've grown older and now at the same college. Unbeknownst to the other, they've both held a mutual crush for years. Carson has tried his damnedest to keep to his side of the friendship line, but a moment of weakness has them crossing the line and Elle blurting out her deepest feelings. When that knowledge is out in the open between them, Carson has to decide if he is willing to jeopardise his friendship with Brayden for a chance at forever with Elle.
"Even when I didn't think there was a chance in hell you would ever belong to me, it was you. In my thoughts and dreams, it was you."
This story was filled with tension and sparks between Carson and Elle. Once they'd crossed the line, I loved how Carson fought hard to keep to his good intentions, but Elle made it pretty hard. He comes across as a good, steady guy but when Elle well-being is threatened, I loved his show of protective instincts, as well as his possessiveness. When they were found out, I loved that he stood by Elle. However, I felt that they both could have fought harder with Brayden because Elle is a grown woman, and Carson was obviously a fabulous friend and more than good enough for her.

Nothing gives me a bigger rush than when I’m responding to an emergency call.
As a firefighter EMT, my mission has always been clear.
Until I arrive at the scene of an accident and a dark-haired vixen, quite literally, trips into my life.
I quickly learn there’s more to the gorgeous photographer than meets the eye.
Meadow Matthews isn’t a woman who needs saving, but she just might save me.
As a single mom to an adorable little boy, she leaves little time for play.
Which is why, when I approach her with a fun opportunity, she instantly declines.
Unfortunately, snapping photos of greased-up firefighters for a calendar isn’t her thing.
Lucky for us, she fires me up just enough to convince her otherwise.
Fired Up is a standalone single parent romance in the Bayside Heroes series!
Caroline's Review 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Absolutely adored this story!
"The man is charming, and that makes him dangerous, but I'd be lying to myself if I didn't admit wanting to know more about him."
Asher Moore is to die for! Recently divorced following a rough marriage to his high-school sweetheart, he's wary about putting himself out there again. However, from the moment that Meadow Matthews literally falls into his arms, his interest is piqued. When coincidence has them in the same place at the same time repeatedly, he knows that there's no way that he's letting her go again so easily.
"Every day since I've met you has felt like a dream. I'm so afraid to wake up."
Meadow has spent the last three years raising her adorable little boy, Tate, on her own, following the death of her husband. She's just moved back to Florida to live with her mother when she meets Asher. After their first inauspicious meeting, she can't help but be charmed by him. She's wary of entering a relationship for various reasons but Asher is too gorgeous and thoughtful to deny herself.
"This outfit is making me want to do all kinds of dirty things to you, and I'm not even sorry for it."
This story was so very good! It was sweet, hella sexy, and amusing. I loved the natural growth of the relationship between Asher and Meadow. I loved that they were honest with one another and didn't play games with the other's feelings. The trust and love that grew between them was heartwarming to witness. Asher was a beautiful man with a beautiful, tender soul, and a pretty filthy mouth! I fell for him hard! Meadow was resilient, brave and a fantastic mother. These two characters were so ready for the next chapter of their lives and they found the perfect partner in each other. Such a fabulous read!
