But I didn’t expect to enjoy making Ellie’s world dependent upon me. Secrets. Lies. Murder. Mayhem. All ensue in this crazy suspense-filled romance. WIll Ellie and Jameson end up together, or does greed win? My Review I really enjoyed this book. I suddenly feel the need for a bodyguard. Ellie and Jameson shared hot chemistry. Ellie has a feisty side to her that was just brought out even more by Jameson. Which, I loved that Jameson called Ellie out on it. Whenever he would like when she asked for her phone and the next scene involved him kissing her. That got my blood rising.  The attraction between these two just keep getting hotter and hotter as the story progressed...

  Three Forks is a settlement of new beginnings… or at least that's what Pete tells himself. Sixteen years ago, the Levin brothers moved from the city to the mountains to start their lumber company and create a name for themselves, along with the town Three Forks, but something never sat right with Iva when the workers kept disappearing… and ghastly remains kept being found. After being released from prison, Pete is looking forward to a rare second chance in Three Forks, West Virginia, working for the Levin Lumber Company. Although he struggles to get along with his drunk boss and the town of people who want to avoid him, he knows this opportunity isn’t one to be wasted—he has a family he needs to send money home to and a felony for murder on his record, leaving him with few prospects.

  Will a fake play score her heart? ♥️ One football player. Two simple rules. Three fake dates. Zero possibility of falling for each other. From USA Today bestselling author S.E. Rose and award-winning author Sierra Hill comes a new college football romance series. My Review I really loved this book a lot. Lucy came right out of the gate with her in your face sassiness towards Emmett. She did not let him slide because he is a popular athlete. Yet, Emmett is more than just a "jock". He actually helps out his Nana and would give up his woman for the guy she has a crush on. For these reasons, i fell in love with Emmett even more.  Let me take a brief moment to mention the intimate "lessons" that Emmett taught Lucy. They were for "research" purposes as Emmett is a very generous guy. Let's just say that Lucy got an "A+". While Emmett and Lucy may have been the main characters in this book, the other characters provided entertainment to the story. ...

He isn’t like other men, and I’m instantly captivated by his touch. There’s a mystery about him that I’m nearly desperate to uncover. It’s only when he lays his fingers on my skin do I realize the type of man he really is. Commanding. Possessive. Dominant. And it only takes a glance from him before I fall to my knees. He wants to protect me, to fix the broken wings atop my back. Though, soon enough, there isn’t anyone who can protect me from the evil headed my way, not even Hades Gra...

  Makenna Taylor and Reid Landry are high school sweethearts. He was her first. Her only. They had life all planned out. Right down to the white picket fence and 2.5 kids. Then Reid joined the Marines, and from that day forward, life as Makenna knew it would never be the same. She thought she was a simple girl with a part time job waiting tables while she worked her way through college. She thought she had the fairytale. She thought Callisto Suppato was just another man. She was wrong. Soon, she would learn that every family has secrets. Every stranger has a dark side. And love isn’t just a simple four-letter word. The curtain is pulled back, and Makenna’s world begins to unravel, thread by thread, to reveal something darker. Something she’d only heard about in the whispers of her grandmother’s living room. A world many know about but simply refuse to see. This is  not  an MFM story. It is  not  a love triangle and there is NO CHEATING. This is the story of thre...
