Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thoroughly enjoyed this story!


"We had chemistry between us - the bickering kind. I was hot for him and couldn't have him for all the reasons that drew us together."

Barrett Monroe fancies the pants off Sadie Hill, the walking-talking Barbie who's moved in next door with her sister. He's known Sadie since high school, but they were both involved with other people and life took them in separate directions. When Sadie came back to Green Valley with her twin boys, she eventually moved in with her sister and also took at job at the Monroe family business. Now, not only has to deal with Barrett at work, but also at home. He made an impression on her as a teenager, but nowadays, he seems to put his foot in his mouth every time they interact. However, when they start to recognise the attraction between them, things almost stutter before they can really begin as complications arise.

"Don't say my name like that unless you want me to kiss you. Because I will."

I thought Barrett was adorable! He was the perfect gentleman and loved to fix problems and take care of other people. His attraction to Sadie was sweet - his awkwardness with her was cute, but who knew he was such a hot stud in the bedroom! Sadie was a hot mess! Between her exuberant sons, her cheating ex, and her difficult mother, her plate was already full. Barrett brought her happiness, but also complications. I loved the way they interacted with each other. They were so hot together and also incredibly tender. This story was a little bit emotional, but also had lots of humour, and some sweet, heart-melting moments. I enjoyed the small town backdrop and the loving but meddling families! Absolutely loved it!

Excerpt

“Hey, Barrett!” Clara shouted, wrenching me out of the storm cloud of bad memories and useless speculation I was about to get lost in.

“Barrett!” the boys shouted. “Play with us!”

I spun on my heel then checked my watch. He was early; he’d only been gone about fifteen minutes. “What’s wrong? Did something happen to you?” I asked without thinking, then froze. Damn it.

His dark eyes met mine and he grinned knowingly. “I got a cramp in my side.” He inhaled a deep sigh, his broad chest expanded on the intake, and it was all I could do not to gawk at him—muscles . . . so many muscles. He addressed the boys. “I’ll join you next time. I kinda hurt myself tonight.”

I could see his abs through his shirt, for the love of heck—but I managed to force my eyes into submission and snapped them back to his. “Oh, that’s too bad,” I breathed, at a loss for words.

“Yeah, I like to get at least thirty minutes in.” He raised his hands over his head in a stretch. I almost died at the sight of the strong corded muscles of his neck as he tipped his head back. And that jawline? It was absolute perfection, sharply defined and covered with the perfect amount of dark stubble, exactly how I liked it.

My eyes, of their own accord, drifted lower as his shirt lifted ever so slightly baring a sliver of his defined stomach. Then it became a battle between my eyeballs and my brain. I needed to avert the traitorous orbs but before I could, I caught a glimpse of the happy trail leading down to the bulgy good stuff.

I inhaled my own deep breath as I gave up and allowed my gaze to go on a journey over his hot-as-hell form. Six-foot-four inches of Barrett Monroe were taking my eyes on a trip, and I was in danger of embarrassing myself at the sight.

“Boys, bath time. Come on inside.” Clara took the ball from Flynn, tossed it to me, then led the boys inside the house.

“What—?” She couldn’t have planned Barrett’s side cramp. But she sure as heck planned the rest, leaving me out here alone with him like this. I scowled and clutched the ball to my chest instead of hurling it at her retreating back. I glanced sheepishly back at Barrett.

His grin had softened to a small smile. “I’m going to say this again, and hopefully it will come out better than that first Monday morning here in the driveway. You look different.”

“Yeah? Well, I don’t wear heels and makeup at home, Barrett. I’m a freelance hot mom and I make my own hours.” I couldn’t help but crack a defensive joke as I grumbled and adjusted my ponytail with one hand. “I don’t have time to get dolled up every time I go outside—”

“It wasn’t an insult, Sadie. You’re adorable right now, stunning in an entirely different way.” His eyes softened on mine, just like his smile had.

I found myself fighting a big dopey grin that was threatening to pop out and give my crush away. “Oh. Okay then. Well, thank you.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t control the red flush that rose over my cheeks or his knowing reaction to it.

He backed up a few steps, gesturing to the ball. “I’m feeling better. Show me what you got, stunner.”

“Stunner?” I allowed a small smile to cross my face. It was a non-flirty, totally neutral smile. Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, dummy.

His lips quirked sideways in a grin as he nodded. “Every time I get to see a different side of you, it stuns me.” He gestured to his heart and made the cutest mock-surprised face I’d ever seen in my life.

Instead of keeling over dead from being stunned myself and the resulting sudden heart palpitations, I spun the ball on my finger, let it go, then kicked it to him. He passed it back with a knee and my small smile turned huge. Barrett had skills too.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Reckless Rebound by Brooke O'Brien

 




Title: Reckless Rebound
A Cocky Hero Club Novel
Author: Brooke O'Brien
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 30, 2022


Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward's New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.


BLURB

Jaxsen Wild has landed himself in hot water with the NBA.

After letting his temper get the best of him during a game, he’s slapped on the wrist with a warning—get your act together, or your career and the championship with the Miami Blaze is on the line.

He wasn’t looking for love, and he certainly never saw Emmy coming when she crashes into him at the airport. Jaxsen is used to women using him for his money and the media dragging his name through the mud.

The last thing he needs is another scandal with his name plastered in the headlines. Still, something about how she has no idea who he is, draws him in.

Learning her ex cheated on her has Emmy swear off men and relationships forever. All she wants is one night of passion to forget everything—no strings attached. Who better than Mr. Tall, Dark and Dreamy staying at her hotel after their cancelled flight leaves them stranded in the city?

Except Jaxsen wants more than one night with Emmy, and he isn’t ready to let her go so easily.

When word gets out about their relationship and Jaxsen finds out the secret she’s been keeping, Emmy fears he’ll believe she’s using him like all the women before her.

Or worse, he'll live up to his bad boy reputation and turn out to be as much of a player off the court as he is on it.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟



Loved this story! It was funny, sexy, and melted my heart! Jaxsen and Emmy were made for each other.

"As much as she wants to play it off as one night, I sense from the way her body reacts to me, she feels the connection between us too."

Jaxsen Wild is the bad boy of basketball, but his hothead ways has him close to throwing away everything he's worked so hard for. Emerson 'Emmy' Kincaid is striving towards her dream of being a fashion designer, whilst working as airline cabin crew. When they end up being grounded due to bad weather, they give in to the hot attraction between them. Jaxsen is wary of women getting close to him for his fame and money, and Emmy just got out of a relationship. However, there's no denying there's a very real connection between them. Six weeks after giving Jaxsen a dud telephone number, they bump into each other again in Miami, where he lives and where she's interning. This time, Jaxsen is determined not to lose her again.

"I'd let Jaxsen wreck my world any day."

This was an easy, thoroughly enjoyable read. It flowed really well and I loved the characters. Initially, Jaxsen came across as an arrogant jerk but, underneath it all, he was thoughtful, loyal and determined to be a better person for Emmy. Emmy was brilliant! I loved her gutsiness and the way she dealt with people who tried to bring her down. She knew her own worth and was not willing to put up with being treated poorly. She was genuine and never tried to be somebody she wasn't, and I loved her connection with Jaxsen. They were insanely hot together and I adored the trust that built between them. This was a fab read!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEWS: Somehow Everlasting Duet by Claudia Burgoa

 


Titles: Almost Strangers & Strangers in Love
(Somehow Everlasting Duet)
Author: Claudia Burgoa
Release Date: October 28th





USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Claudia Burgoa pens an emotional, heartbreaking romance duet where soulmates can’t be together and everything around them tears them apart.

I found it (him) at the bookstore.
Love.
He was six foot four, lanky, blue-eyed.
Jacob Decker was goofy, handsome, and cheesy.
There’s no better way to describe him.
But what can I expect of an eighteen-year-old boy who’s lived under a rock all his life?

I’ll let you into a little secret.
I had no idea what to expect.
We were each other’s first everything.
But the fantasy lasted only a semester.

Soon I had to move away.
A few years later, he was a rockstar, and I was…
Grasping for a lifeline.
The problem with first loves is that they never leave you.
But they never come back, do they?

Almost Strangers is the first novel in the Somehow Everlasting duet, a Decker Family Novel. This book ends on a cliffhanger that'll change everything...

The Somehow Everlasting Duet is based on Jacob Decker and Pria Walker's story. Part of this duet was released as Uncharted.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


It's been years since I read Jacob and Pria's originally story, Uncharted, so this felt like a brand new story, not least because it has been rewritten, although the essence of their story is still there.

The first time I read this story, it was angsty AF and that still rings true. Jacob Decker pretty much falls for Cipriana 'Pria' Walker from the first moment he sees her. He's silly and charming and eventually wins her round. Pria comes from a pretty strict family and her sister has health issues. The two secretly fall in love hard, but circumstances beyond their control tear them apart. Years later, when they meet again, Jacob is no longer the sweet guy she knew. It's like he's had a personality transplant.

By the time they met again, both had moved on and been through a lot. My heart hurt at how they came to lose each other when they were younger. By the time they met again, Jacob carried a burden of guilt for things that happened in his life because he'd never really gotten over the loss of Pria. This instalment had joy, pain and everything in between, and I couldn't wait to move on to the concluding book.




USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Claudia Burgoa finishes an emotional rockstar romance duet where second chances between soulmates could make the difference between love and loss.

Karma is a… she’s not nice.

It’s been ten long years since Jacob and I parted ways.

I moved on… well, at least I thought I did.

That was until I’m asked to clean the image of Jacob Decker.

Rockstar, playboy, womanizer JC Decker.

He’s spoiled, rude, and inappropriate.

I shouldn’t take the job, but I need the money.

I swallow my pride and work for him.

Closely.

Too close.

That’s when I uncover the wounds he hides.

The scars underneath his dismissive attitude.

And his shattered heart.

Can I just walk away when I’m about to find the man I once loved?

Strangers In Love is the conclusion of the highly angsty Somehow Everlasting novel.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What I loved about this concluding part to Jacob and Pria's duet was how well they reconnected. No matter how he behaved, it was clear that he cared about her and her well-being. Even though Jacob tried valiantly to keep her at arm's length, these two were destined to be together. He was almost a shell of a man with no real purpose and seemingly going off the rails, but I loved how Pria brought him back to life. This instalment was angsty but also humorous and sexy. I had so many feelings whilst reading it and it was so painful that Jacob was trying to deny himself lifelong happiness due to an unfair promise. This was a fantastic read with a beautiful ending. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommend this duet.

About the book:


Morgan Bentley is good at getting attention, except from those she wants it from most. The 18-year-old daughter of one of Boston's wealthiest business moguls, she's been trending and influencing since the day she was born. And for a while, the privilege and ease that came along with fame was enough. But as Morgan grew up, being thought of as the pretty face who told the masses what to wear and where to be seen wasn't what she really wanted out of life. She wanted to be taken seriously. From the public, and more importantly, from her father.

James Fuentes might be the most talented quarterback to ever throw on the Welles Academy field. His dad, the new Welles head coach, is counting on it--both to shut up the inevitable critics accusing him of playing his son over the competition and to ensure James gets into one of the best business colleges in the country. While the gridiron comes easy to James, though, the classroom is another story. And his big business dreams are riding on his football talent to get his foot in an Ivy League door. All he needs is a winning season and grades that are good enough.

James has always had a problem with distractions, however, and Morgan Bentley is the most tempting of all. Confident, beautiful, curvy and the literal object of every guy on campus' fantasies, Morgan is impossible to ignore. What starts as innocent flirtation and a crush grows into the only meaningful relationship either of them has. And before they realize it, feelings are involved.

But being the center of attention--and gossip--comes with risk. Morgan knows this better than anyone. Reputation is everything at Welles Academy, and rumors have a way of taking people down. Even the truest of loves might not stand a chance when whispers start to circle. But what good is all that fame and power if you can't use it to satisfy your own heart when it's on the verge of breaking?

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟


Overall, this was a great read.

"I think Morgan Bentley isn't a distraction but rather a complicated girl with a lot of good in her heart, and one I'd really like to get to know."

James Fuentes is the new QB contender at Welles. He's there by virtue of his father being the new football coach. He has deeply personal ambitions to fulfil and his one clear route is aiming for a place at a D1 university. However, obstacles and distractions litter his path, not least the hostile existing QB. And, then, there's the wealthy social media influencer, Morgan Bentley.

"Your soul's perfect, James Fuentes. F*cking perfect."

Morgan is dealing with her own demons. She's hiding from her social media, her relationship with her parents is fractured and unhealthy, and she's struggling with her mental health. James affects her like no one else before because he sees the real Morgan beyond her public façade.

"My dad sees you as a distraction. I see you as a necessity."

So, I found this story a little slow in places but, in others, it was beautiful and heartfelt. James and Morgan were young people with a lot on their shoulders. James had a lot of pressure to step up and perform well in order to follow his dreams. His dad was tough on him because there was a lot at stake, but they had a loving family. Morgan's relationship with her parents was completely dysfunctional. She was a girl crying out for some true parental support and love, and previously found adoration through her social media platform. However, there's a dark side to social media and, following the tragic accident that is the back story to all three books in this series, she had to deal with depression and anxiety. These two, who had nothing really in common, had instant attraction and found a real connection, too. For all her sophistication, it was cute how awkward Morgan felt in her early interactions with James, but I loved how they gradually found a safe place to fall with one another and that they were a balm to each other's soul.

BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: The Matchmaker and the Cowboy by Robin Bielman

 

The Matchmaker and the Cowboy, an all-new heartfelt and moving small-town standalone romance set in the Windsong Series from USA Today bestselling author Robin Bielman is available now!

Callie Carmichael has a gift for making bridesmaid dresses—some even call them magical. Somehow, every person who’s worn one of her dresses has found love. Real love. And as long as that happily-ever-after is for someone else, Callie is happy. Because she’s fully over getting her heart broken…which is why her new roommate is definitely going to be a problem.

After being overseas for six months, Callie’s only choice is to stay with her best friend’s ridiculously hot brother, Hunter Owens. Cowboy, troublemaker, and right now, the town’s most coveted bachelor. Only, Hunter isn’t quite the player she thought. And if it weren’t for her whole “no more love” thing, their setup could get confusing really fast.

Now, Hunter wants Callie to make him a best man suit—a “lucky for love” kind of suit. But what happens if she makes the suit and he finds true love…and it isn't her?

Each book in the Windsong series is STANDALONE:
* The Wedding Crasher and the Cowboy
* The Matchmaker and the Cowboy

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Oh, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was sweet, really sexy and melted my heart!

"Eventually, no matter how hard their fought it, the heat that crackled when they were close to each other had to go somewhere."

Hunter Owens fell for Callie Carmichael the moment he met her when they were teenagers, but a terrible accident has Callie disliking and avoiding him for years to come. As adults, Callie has just returned to her hometown of Windsong and needs a place to stay. In the meantime, Hunter has been badly bitten by a black widow spider and needs a babysitter. She agrees to look after him in exchange for staying at his place. That's when she starts to realise that Hunter isn't at all the man she assumed him to be. In the meantime, Hunter is thrilled to have her under his roof, just as he had decided to give up on her ever giving him a chance.

"Tell me I'm not the only one feeling the gravity between us."

Gosh, this story really gripped my heart. Hunter was so stinking adorable and gorgeous and swoony. He was such a gentleman - thoughtful, caring and intuitive. I couldn't get enough of him! Callie had grown up in a somewhat dysfunctional family, which tainted her view of relationships and marriage. I thought she was stubborn sticking with her ideas of what she wanted for her future when it was obvious that she had fallen heads over heels in love with Hunter, but I loved her grand gesture! I adored their connection and their chemistry. They were fun and super sexy together. Loved this story so much!

Excerpt

Hunter woke with a start. He hated the recurring dream where he was falling off the roof of the barn, only this time he was falling into the wide mouth of a giant spider with a Gene Simmons KISS tongue.
He was pretty sure spiders didn’t have tongues, but his head hurt too much to dwell on it.
Swallowing thickly, his eyes landed on someone sitting in the corner chair. He wasn’t too surprised to have company; his family worried about him. However, there was nothing familial about the beautiful redhead watching him. He’d dreamed about her last night, or rather pictured her here with him when he’d gotten up to use the bathroom.
Obviously, his mind was still playing tricks on him, a damn shame considering the best cure he could think of was Callie Carmichael in his bunkhouse.
“Are you okay?” Dream Callie asked. She had a soft voice that soothed all his aching muscles. “You squealed in your sleep.”
Definitely still dreaming, since he’d never squealed in his life. “I’d be better if you climbed in here with me,” he drawled lazily. He’d kicked off his pajama bottoms during the night so had nothing on underneath the sheets, and a certain part of him loved the idea of her joining him. She, on the other hand, wore long-sleeved navy pajamas with white polka dots on them. Not what he would’ve picked, but he couldn’t control every dream.
“I’m going to pretend you didn’t say that and assume your fever is making you delirious.”
He put his palm on his forehead. Yep, a definite heatwave was happening.
Wait. He didn’t normally feel himself while dreaming. Was Callie actually sitting in his bedroom? Or had he died and gone to heaven?
“You’re not a figment of my imagination?”
Rather than answer him, she got to her feet, came closer, and put out her hand.
For him to touch.
Hot damn. He still wasn’t clear on why she was here, but he didn’t care. She’d never offered any part of herself to him before, so he’d take it. Her light green eyes were softer than he’d ever seen them and her curly hair wild, like she’d been here all night, sleeping on his couch.
As far as gifts went, this took the top spot. He could tell himself all day he’d moved on from his crush, but this close to her, he forgot about the promise he’d made to himself.
The bed covers slipped slightly as he lifted an arm free to touch the top of her delicate hand. Soft, warm skin met his, just like he’d imagined.
She pulled her arm back and returned to the chair, too far away for his liking. “Now that we’ve got that settled, how are you feeling this morning?”
He pushed himself all the way up to a sitting position, exposing his bare chest as the sheet slid to his waist. She maintained perfect eye contact like she couldn’t care less about checking him out. Holy cow, she was here. He knew this because she never gave him the once-over. Never paid him much attention beyond politeness.
Which meant…
Last night when he’d gotten up to relieve himself buck naked, she had been standing a mere five feet away. And a minute ago he’d asked her to join him in bed…

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: The C Agreement by R.L. Kenderson

 

THE C AGREEMENT by R.L. Kenderson

RELEASES: October 26th

I was the girl next door…with a few extra pounds. My job was demanding and kept me on my toes, but when I was deep in a case, it left me little time for relationships. And because of that, I had some complaints in the bedroom.

What I wanted was for someone to teach me to be a better lover. I needed someone I trusted with my body without the fear of falling in love and someone who wasn’t looking for anything more than sex. And I needed a man who knew how to use his body.

That was where Cade Nichols came in. He was my older brother’s best friend and anti-commitment. And my brother just challenged him to sleep with only one woman for two months. So, I offered to help Cade win that bet. As long as he helped me learn my way around a cock.

What I didn’t bet on was life not going as planned.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


First time reading this author duo and loved it!

"He needed someone like me, who had known him forever and saw him as a friend. Who also wouldn't mind having sex with him.

Rayne Thompson has had the worst luck with guys and she's pretty much concluded that it's because she sucks in bed. On the other end of the spectrum is her brother's best friend, Cade Nichols, an out-and-out player with a roster of women for him to call on. He's not interested in commitment because he believes he can be happy without it. When Rayne's brother, Beau, bets Cade that if he sticks with one woman for one month, he'd be willing to go all in with him in a joint venture. Cade wants it enough to try, so Rayne proposes an outrageous idea that will benefit them both.

"I couldn't believe this beautiful woman was mine to do what I wanted with for a whole month."

I really, really enjoyed this book! My goodness, Cade! For someone who didn't want to give a woman the wrong impression of being committed, he was so alpha and possessive of Rayne. I thought it was thrilling that he thought of her as his, if only for the month they were going to be together, but his ownership and command of her was hot!πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ He was patient, fair, and made her feel beautiful and desired. At nearly 30, Rayne is a kickass lawyer. She grew up almost unseen or friend-zoned due to her size. Nowadays, she owns her looks and who she is. Interestingly enough, the authors don't go into any real detail about Rayne's appearance, but we are made aware that she's a big girl. However, through Cade's eyes, all we saw was a beautiful woman that he found irresistibly sexy and addictive. I absolutely adored that! This was a smooth, low-angst, hot AF read that I couldn't put down and stayed up late to finish.

RELEASE BLITZ: The Matchmaker and the Cowboy by Robin Bielman

 

“A smart, heartfelt small-town romance.”
– Publishers Weekly

The Matchmaker and the Cowboy, an all-new beautifully-crafted small-town standalone romance in the Windsong Series from USA Today bestselling author Robin Bielman is live now!

Callie Carmichael has a gift for making bridesmaid dresses—some even call them magical. Somehow, every person who’s worn one of her dresses has found love. Real love. And as long as that happily-ever-after is for someone else, Callie is happy. Because she’s fully over getting her heart broken…which is why her new roommate is definitely going to be a problem.

After being overseas for six months, Callie’s only choice is to stay with her best friend’s ridiculously hot brother, Hunter Owens. Cowboy, troublemaker, and right now, the town’s most coveted bachelor. Only, Hunter isn’t quite the player she thought. And if it weren’t for her whole “no more love” thing, their setup could get confusing really fast.

Now, Hunter wants Callie to make him a best man suit—a “lucky for love” kind of suit. But what happens if she makes the suit and he finds true love…and it isn't her?

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Snowed In with the Player by Rebecca Jenshak

 

Snowed In with the Player by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

 

It was supposed to be a weekend of holiday cheer.
Just me and my twin sister, watching Christmas movies and baking cookies.
My brother was absolutely not supposed to show up with half the football team.
Including Teddy. My brother's best friend and my secret crush.
I'm the shy sister. The one with her nose stuck in a book and quoting every word of Elf, not the one getting attention from guys like Teddy.
He's cool and smart and so handsome I could die.
The only thing that could make things worse is if I got snowed in with him.
Alone.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was a fun, charming, and sexy little read.

"That's when it sets in. I mean really sets in. I'm snowed in with Teddy. Freaking snowed in. Just the two of us. With no power."

When Holly Walters and her twin, Stella, pitch up at the family cabin for a short pre-Christmas break, they're surprised to find their older brother, Felix, already at the cabin with a few on his friends, including Theodore 'Teddy' Radford. She's had a major crush on him ever since she's known him. It's not quite the peaceful break that Holly envisaged, but they decide to stay anyway. Holly always clams up with nerves whenever Teddy is around, however, the snowy weather, a power cut, and some Dutch courage has her making some bold moves.

"Both of his rough palms frame my face and his mouth slants over mine. His touch is gentle, but his kiss is not."

Holly and Teddy were made for each other. They were both lovely, genuine characters. Teddy was heart-meltingly sweet and even a little shy, just like Holly. I loved her joy at all things Christmassy, and Teddy was thoughtful and indulgent with her. I really loved the sibling dynamic between the twins and Felix, and I'm really looking forward to Stella's story next.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Every Chance With You by Lexi Ryan

 



Every Chance With You by Lexi Ryan is now live!



When I met Alec Hayes in Vegas, I thought I'd stumbled into a love affair with the man of my dreams. Alec's sexy, confident, and charming. Our night together was full of laughter and the kind of toe-curling kisses that tempted me to believe in fate for the first time in years.

Until I flew out to LA to surprise Alec and ran into the unnamed half-brother he'd admitted to despising.

But I know Oliver Rhett as soon as I see him.

Oliver's the reason I stopped believing in destiny. He was my first love and my first heartbreak. And now he's the reason I can't be with Alec.

It's not fair to give one man the scraps of my heart when Oliver would always be right there to remind me he still holds the rest.

But when Alec needs a favor, I can't turn my back on him. Even if it means falling a little more for his gentle charm every day. Even if it means facing Oliver and remembering exactly how brazenly he stole my heart.

My plan is to walk away. I can't make this family feud worse. But I didn't realize just how hard a broken heart can fall.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I really loved this story!

"Tonight, I feel like a thief - stealing moments in time with a woman I know I can't keep. I'm not sorry for it. I can't be."

Savannah Downing had an unforgettable night with Alec Hayes in Vegas and she thought she could have something with him. However, a startling revelation meant he was off-limits to her - he was the half-brother of Oliver Rhett - the guy she fell for at college and who broke her heart. A couple of years later, she needs a fake fiancΓ© to interview for her dream job, and Alec needs a girlfriend for his sister's wedding to keep his overbearing mother off his back. Savannah tries to keep her attraction to him at bay, while he never gives up hope that she would give him a chance. Unfortunately, when Oliver comes to Orchid Valley for the wedding, his presence adds a whole other layer of complication.

"The truth is that I can't stand the idea of watching him touch you. Dance with you...I can't stand thinking of you in his bed."

When I started reading this book, I really wasn't sure who Savvy would end up with because Alec was such a gorgeous guy and Oliver was intriguing. However, the more I read, the more I realised exactly who I wanted her to be with. The storyline moves back and forth between the present and eight years ago, when Savvy and Oliver were together. Their full back story is gradually unfolded, while things are happening in the present. I was completely immersed in this sexy and emotional story, and the secrets that were uncovered. Although love triangles are not my favourite trope, this story was really well done, and I found myself wanting all three people to have a win. I was so happy with how everything worked out and the ending was amusing (that Smithy!) and beautiful.
