people wouldn’t think of a bad Santa case as the perfect Christmas gift. Then
again, Molly Malone, office manager at Hunt Investigations, isn’t most

having since spending the night with her very secret crush, Lucas Knight.
Nothing happened, not that Lucas knows that—but Molly just wants to enjoy being

drawing a blank on his (supposedly) passionate tryst with Molly, who’s the
hottest, smartest, strongest woman he’s ever known. Strong enough to kick his
butt if she discovers he’s been assigned to babysit her on her first case. And
hot enough to melt his cold heart this Christmas . . .</span></div>

You know how you wait for that one couples book and pray it's as amazing as you hope? Well, Jill Shalvis did NOT disappoint! Once again she blew it out of the water with another wonderful romance that leaves you on the edge of your seat! Great suspense and a truly warming romance for Lucas and Molly! I loved hearing Molly's side of her back story not just her brother, Joe's side in <a href="https://amzn.to/2Ia2W94" target="_blank">About That Kiss</a>. Molly is tougher than all the other ladies to date in the Heartbreaker Bay series and I love her realness. Lucas, is swoon-worthy. He tries to avoid Molly so as not to die a painful death from Joe, but the connection is undeniable and explosive. Even though he's protective of Molly he let's her be her. The two play off each other like two perfectly synchronized</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you're looking for a steamy holiday romance with a touch of suspense then I highly recommend reading Hot Winter Nights! </div>

Spring Lewis knew death. As a nurse in the ICU, she had experienced more than her fair share of it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The difference was, unlike most people, she was acutely aware not everyone who died stayed in the afterlife, including the eight kids calling to her from the river.<br />
<br />
Vince Roundtree had devoted his life to one thing, music. As the tuba professor at the University of Hedgeford, he spent his days shaping the lives of young people, and his nights walking along the river on a journey to find true peace.<br />
<div>
<br />
On a rainy spring evening, in a darkened Hedgeford Park, their paths intersected in an unexpected way. Their chance meeting set them on a path of forgiveness, understanding, acceptance, and love. Blinded by their rose-colored glasses, neither could foresee how much they’d need all of those, and more, to survive what was to come.<br />
<br />
A mother’s anguish, and eight determined souls, convince Spring to break her silence about the people in the water. While the scandal burns, death comes calling, and it will be up to Vince to save her from certain death before time runs out.</div>

<br />
Movement caught my eye and I twisted my head to the left. I forced the gasp away, so I didn’t alarm him, and remained still. There were eight college-age kids, males and females, lined up, blocking the pathway back to the bandshell. The two I had seen earlier were in the pack, along with the boy who had been showing up in the park and my home. There were five more, and they were all in different stages of decomposition. Water dripped from them, leaving puddles of liquid to pool around their feet, which only I could see. My heart started to pound. They were confused, and they were scared. There was pain and agony. There was so much fear. Flashes of silver exploded behind my eyes and with each flash my body ached with stabbing pain. I started choking as the air around me became thick and unbreathable. I begged them to speak, but they couldn’t. They presented in their death state rather than their living, and none of them could break the brutality of their death to speak. Whatever happened to them was traumatic and they were forever stuck in their death state. I kept hearing the words help, stop, and find inside my head.<br />
<br />
Help. Stop. Find. Were they kids who had gone missing and were trying to tell me they want to be found? I didn’t know, but obviously the river had something to do with their death, considering they were dripping wet. All eight dragged and rattled their way back down the bank of the river painstakingly slow. When they reached the rocky bank they never stopped, marching on until they disappeared below the level of the blackened water.<br />

Spring has a unique gift of seeing the dead and helping them cross over. When Vince strolls into her life one night her life is thrown for a loop. Vince is sweet, loving and human. What I mean is he's human and not the perfect male specimen you read about in most stories. I love when the characters have different flaws other than being the cocky egotistical male. Spring is strong and she doesn't realize how much. Her strength helps her throughout the story, with Vince and helping the dead crossover. She has a giant heart and her character is quite enjoyable as she navigates her new and old lives as they coincide.<br />
<br />
The mystery, wow, just wow. I was enthralled and guessing left and right "who done it". Not only did Spring and Vince's romance have me enthralled in the story, but the mystery thrown in is fascinating and you won't want to put your ereader down. If you enjoy a romantic suspense with a touch of paranormal I highly recommend digging in and devouring Someone in the Water!<br />

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A SLAM JOLTED ME OUT</span></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">of my slumber. Another bang echoed in the front of the cabin, and footsteps hurried to my door. I didn’t know how long I’d slept, or if it was still daylight, but I was still tired and wanted to retreat back into the sweet abyss again. My door opened, and I turned my head to see my aunt standing in the doorway.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“What happened, Abby?” She rushed over.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> tried to push myself up, but my back was so stiff. The skin even felt stiff. How was that possible? I winced.<o:p></o:p></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“Stay down. Let me see.” She gingerly lifted the back of Ky’s shirt and peeked underneath. The fabric slowly peeled away from my skin where the bandages Evelyn had applied didn’t quite reach, or had shifted, and it felt like part of the wounds tore open again. A hiss escaped from between my teeth at the same time a curse flew from her lips.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“Evelyn sent more salve. She said that your body would absorb part of it and that more would have to be packed in.” </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Lulu helped me sit up and, one by one, I unbuttoned the shirt and again pried it away from my back. The only portion not torn to shreds from the fifteen lashes was the part my bra had covered; although, by the last lash, it only hung on by a thread.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“Evelyn came to the depot. She said you’d been injured and gave me the medicine and salve. I had no idea. Did Norris do this?”<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">All I could do was nod.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Lulu took my shirt as I laid back down on my stomach and tried to remain as still as possible while she packed my wounds. Having left the room, I could hear her banging around in the kitchen before she returned with a steaming mug containing more of the special tea. I gulped it down, hoping it would help numb the pain like it had before. When my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep almost immediately.<o:p></o:p></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Something was touching my face, caressing my cheek. The skin that brushed mine was rough, hardened by the work we all shared.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Am I dreaming?</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I waited, trying to see if it was real or part of a dream. Whichever it was, it was nice, comforting.<o:p></o:p></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Rough fingertips moved over the parts of my back that weren’t split open and packed with gunk. I sucked in a breath and held it. It was real. I moved my head and saw his silhouette against the candlelight flickering in from the kitchen and living room. “Ky?” My voice was raspy and barely sounded like my own. Sleep and exhaustion filled every chord.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“Shh. I’m here.” Suddenly, I was very aware I was lying shirtless on my bed. Even though I was on my stomach, that didn’t help me feel any less naked in front of my best friend—who happened to be a member of the male species—a very fine specimen according to my girlfriends.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I knew he was handsome. I wasn’t blind. But I didn’t see him like that. He’d dated many of my friends and was getting ready to marry Paige Winters after the harvest was complete and the orchards picked bare. His fingertips traced the intact skin between my shoulder blades, and I tensed under his touch.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">He’d kissed my head and temple and hugged me more times than I could count, but that was different; it was more intimate. His touch was delicate, gentle compared to his normal strength, and anything but playful. “Ky?”</span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">He didn’t answer. His fingers explored my back, careful not to stray too close to the wounds streaking across my skin. “Kyan?”</span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“Shut up, Abby. Just let me... Just shut up.” He’d never talked to me like that. His voice was raspy, and he’d never, ever told me to shut up before. So I did. I wasn’t sure why. He shouldn’t have been touching my skin. Shouldn’t have been caressing the good parts left; but, sitting with me in the dark, he was doing exactly that, and I was allowing it.<o:p></o:p></span>

Ella Boudreaux has a lot to prove to her family, friends, and
foes—and to herself. So when her marriage ends she decides to invest her
energy and money into a place that brings back some of Ella’s happiest
memories: the Abbott brothers’ garage. Maybe, if she puts her mind to
it, she can teach skeptical, stubborn Mack Abbott how to make the
business a true success. Which would be a lot easier if the hunky
mechanic didn’t make her motor run quite so fast…and hot.<br>
<br>
Mack
was furious when his brother, Ford, sold his share of the business.
He’s in no rush to team up with a wealthy divorcée who shows up to the
garage in stilettos—and the longest, sexiest legs he’s seen in forever.
But Ella’s grit and determination won’t quit…and soon Mack can see that
she’s been down a few rough roads herself. Neither Mack nor Ella can
deny the fierce attraction that’s revving up between them. Could it be
that true love has been in the backseat all along…and they’ve finally
found the key?<br>

</span></b><span style="font-family: "sylfaen" , serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br>
Of all the widows of Lyttlefield Park, Elizabeth Easton seems least likely to
remarry. Though many gentlemen would love to get to know the charming Mrs.
Easton better, she is devoted to the memory of her late husband. Which is why
she’s so shocked to be overtaken by passion during a harvest festival,
succumbing to an unforgettable interlude with the handsome Lord Brack . . .<br>
<br>After enduring years of war, Jemmy, Lord Brack, plans to defer matrimony in
favor of carefree pleasure. But who could resist a lifetime with Elizabeth
Easton, a woman as marvelously sensual as she is sweet? Yet despite their
mutual desire, she refuses to consider his proposal. With scandal looming, and
their families bitterly opposed to the match, Jemmy must find a way to convince
Elizabeth to risk her wary heart on him—and turn one infamous night into
forever . . </span><br>

<b><i>The richest bachelor in England plays matchmaker…for a heiress he wants for himself!</i></b><br>
For
beautiful, witty Lavinia Gray, there’s only one thing worse than having
to ask the appalling Parth Sterling to marry her: Being turned down by
him.<br>
Now the richest bachelor in England, Parth is not about to
marry a woman as reckless and fashion-obsessed as Lavinia; he’s chosen a
far more suitable bride. But when he learns of Lavinia’s desperate
circumstances, he offers to find her a husband. Even better, he’ll find
her a prince.<br>
As usual, there’s no problem Parth can’t fix. But
the more time he spends with the beguiling Lavinia, the more he finds
himself wondering…<br>

Sadie Detweiler never imagined she’d move to Kentucky, yet here she
is: a pregnant, unmarried Amish girl banished by unforgiving parents to
live with kin she barely knows. The men are gruff and her cousins are
secretive. Worst of all, elderly matriarch Verba becomes mysteriously
ill shortly after Sadie moves in. When EMT Noah Freeman arrives, Sadie
immediately notices he’s unlike any other Amish man she’s met. Noah is
warm, confident, and has an easy way with practically everyone in the
community, both Amish and English. Though Sadie is drawn to him, she has
little hope he will reciprocate her feelings once he learns she’s with
child.<br />
Noah can’t understand how a girl as sweet and lovely as
Sadie ended up sleeping on a cot in Verba Stauffer’s kitchen. He also
senses Sadie is terrified of something. Concerned, he checks up on her.
Eventually they strike up a friendship and soon their attraction is
undeniable. When Verba later dies at the hospital and her death is
followed by two others, Noah’s boss wants him to dig around the Amish
community for clues. He agrees—for Sadie’s sake—because only the truth
will keep her safe and by his side.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When my mum gets sick, I volunteer to fill in for her and clean some hot jock’s penthouse. I’ve heard all the rumors about him, so the plan is get in, clean some toilet bowls, and get out. After my last experience with a “sports hero,” I’m done with that sort of guy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Lucas Carter is full of surprises. He wants to help me clean and is nothing like the toad the press has made him out to be. Resistance may be futile for some girls, but not me. Then he asks me to help him with the interior design of his new place. I can’t say, no. It’s going to look great on my resume.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, spending time with Lucas is dangerous. He’s so charming and sweet, but I can’t let myself forget––once a player, always a player.</div>

Violet meets Lucas when she covers for her mom. Lucas' footballer (soccer) rep is well known around town, he's a player and Violet is done with footballers and players. What Violet doesn't expect is a sweet, caring guy underneath it all. Violet and Lucas are awesome. I've not enjoyed a couple this much in a while. They're lovable goofballs I'd want to be friends with. They each have their own insecurities but their bumbling is adorable and irresistible throughout the story. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're looking for an amazing read that has romance, humor and drama I recommend reading Once Upon a Player! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Life is meant to be savored, but that’s not easy with no
family, limited prospects and a past you’d rather not talk about. <br>
<br>
Callie Smith doesn’t know how to feel when she discovers she has a brother and a
sister—Malcolm, who grew up with affection, wealth and privilege, and Keira, a
streetwise twelve-year-old. Despite her trepidation, she moves into the grand
family home with her siblings and grandfather on the shores of Lake Washington,
hoping just maybe this will be the start of a whole new life.<br>
<br>
But starting over can be messy. Callie and Keira fit in with each other, but
not with their posh new lifestyle, leaving Malcolm feeling like the odd man out
in his own home. Becoming a family will take patience, humor, a little bit of
wine and a whole lot of love. But love isn’t Malcolm’s strong suit…until he
learns that an open heart, like the family table, can always make room for
more.</div>

mistakenly wronged seven years ago...and this time around, he’s determined to make things right. Seven years ago, Aiden Kingman had to choose between betraying Delanie Clark and her father or staying loyal to his father’s company. He chose his father—losing Delanie in the process—and he’s regretted it ever since. Now as CEO and partner in Kingman Partners International, he needs to finalize buying a retreat property, but there’s one major hold up: Delanie is the contract negotiator for the owner, and she doesn’t trust him. Delanie and her father lost everything when Aiden’s father lied about his intentions for buying her family’s mountain retreat. She swore that she would never have anything to do with Aiden Kingman again. But now she’s facing him across the negotiating table, and sparks that had previously been stamped out reignite between them. When tragedy places the deal on the line, will they put their history behind them? Or will the deal cost them both their second chance at love?<br />

Aiden and Delanie were torn apart by Aiden's betrayal. Delanie is confident, determined and successful and she needs to have more balance in her life. She doesn't want a relationship after her divorce and the betrayal by Aiden before that. Aiden knows he chose wrong when he was younger and his father betrayed him, in turn, causing Aiden to betray Delanie. No woman ever measured up. I love his resolve that he's not going to let her go again. His growth since he was younger is amazing and his swoon-worthy personality doesn't hurt a reader dig into the story fast. If you're looking for a fast-paced, second chance romance that's so hot you could fry an egg on your device then I highly recommend checking out Fight For You!<br />

<i><u>T</u>he temptation of her lips…</i><br>
Libby Shaw refuses
to accept society’s dictates. She’s determined to become a member of
Edinburgh’s all-male Royal College of Surgeons. Disguising herself as a
man, she attends the surgical theater and fools everyone—except the one
man who has never forgotten the shape of her exquisitely sensual lips.<br>
<i>…will make a prince say yes to her every desire.</i><br>
Forced
to leave his home as a boy, famed portraitist Ziyaeddin is secretly the
exiled prince of a distant realm. When he first met Libby, he memorized
every detail of her face and drew her. But her perfect lips gave him
trouble—the same lips he now longs to kiss. When Libby asks his help to
hide her feminine identity from the world, Ziyaeddin agrees on one
condition: she must sit for him to paint—as a woman. But what begins as a
daring scheme could send them both hurtling toward danger… and an
unparalleled love.<br>

<br />
When Lorenzo Dalton inherited his Grandma Mabel’s BMW Coupe, he was a twenty-two-year-old kid without a care in the world. Now, two years later, his inheritance has lost its luster, and so has his life, until an old friend rolls through the doors of the Little Ivywood Humane Society. <br />
<br />
Catalina Chavéz, a successful artist, has spent fifteen years hiding her personal demons by hiding her heart. Now, staring thirty in the face, she’s ready to relinquish her recluse status and reconnect with old friends. She just wasn’t expecting one of them to be a tall, dark, and handsome Lorenzo Dalton. <br />
<br />
Cat and Lorenzo find they share the same taste in food, music, and dreams for their future. They also share a mutual enemy, Xavier Carrellton. Threats, lies, murder, and betrayal swirl through the air of Little Ivywood, California, and neither knows friend from foe. Someone wants them dead, and they must find the killer, before the killer finds them.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Chapter One</span></div>
<br />
<br />
Twenty months later<br />
<br />
I wiped my brow and grabbed my tape, measuring the distance of the latches to make sure they were in the right place before I installed the gate. The stalls lining both sides of the wall resembled the ones you see in a barn for horses. These stalls were much smaller though, and the gates would hold the pooches in during rest and feeding time. The rest of the day, while their owners worked or enjoyed their vacation, the dogs could expect serious spoiling. The dogs boarded here at Dalton’s Doggie Daycare would enjoy trips to the dog park and outdoor kennel time as well as grooming and bathing. The small, separate building behind the humane society had a new doggie salon and self-serve dog washing station. I promised to have it finished by next month, just in time to reveal it at the annual humane society carnival. <br />
<br />
Dr. Foster Kern, my brother-in-law and director of the humane society, took me out for a beer one night about a year ago, and asked me what I envisioned when he said doggie daycare and salon. Luckily, I’d been in the habit of carrying a small notebook in my back pocket for when inspiration hit. I used the notebook to draw a rough layout of what I pictured for the project. He liked my idea of making the salon a separate building. It allowed easier access to the self-serve dog wash for the public, and if I moved the laundry facility to the salon there was room for two extra daycare stalls.<br />
<br />
In the end, Foster declined all the professional contracted bids for the project and hired me to do the job. It’s been a lot of trial by fire for a young carpenter, but I couldn't be prouder of the results. Not only would I have it done in the time frame he gave me, but unless something untoward occurs, the project will come in under budget as well. I took great pride in this build as it would be a huge résumé booster for me, whether I decide to work with a company or go it on my own. Since working here at the shelter, I’ve taken a liking to working for myself, and I’m tossing around continuing the trend when I finish here. There’s something to be said for being twenty-four and having the freedom to do what you want while making good money doing it. <br />
<br />
Since Mabel, my grandmother who didn’t allow us to call her grandma, died, the humane society has become a second home for our whole family. Because of Mabel and her Saint Bernard, Brutus, my sister Cinn met Foster Kern. Unlike her ex-husband, Foster understood her illness and did everything in his power to convince her he would always love her. They had a beautiful ceremony about a year ago at Trigger’s Dog Park, the place they first met. The acre of land Mabel had donated to the shelter was now a bustling park for all of Little Ivywood’s canines to romp in safely. If it weren’t for Mabel’s death, the park, and Brutus, who knows what path our lives would have taken.<br />
<br />
Tabitha found herself in some hot water right after Mabel passed, but even she has joined in. To get herself out of hot water she agreed to one hundred hours of community service at the shelter. She teamed up with Foster and together they organized a public service directive about dogs and antifreeze poisoning. Even when she finished the project, and had her service hours approved by the judge, Tabby didn’t leave her role as a volunteer at the shelter. The truth is, she has been the driving force behind this doggie daycare and salon. She has organized, advertised, procured donations, and set up an advertising campaign by herself for no reimbursement. She and Foster raised enough money for the project without even touching the money Mabel left the society.<br />
<br />
My maḿa and dad didn’t want to miss out on the party either. They sold their house and moved into the apartment above the shelter where Foster used to live. After he and Cinn were married, they decided to live in Mabel’s house. It was significantly bigger than the apartment above the shelter, especially if they planned to have kids. My parents decided it was time to downsize since all their baby birds had flown the nest, and asked if they could rent it. Foster refused to take money, instead insisting they could pay their rent by helping around the shelter, cleaning the exam rooms at night, and taking shifts when the doggie daycare was up and running. Even though my dad still works, they agreed to those terms and moved in last April. They hadn’t lived here a month when a stray miniature schnauzer from the shelter found her way up the stairs to their apartment, and forgot to leave. She’s a sweet little thing, and honestly, I haven’t seen my parents this happy in ages. They act the same way the newlyweds do. Maybe it’s true what they say about a change of scenery giving you renewed energy and a new outlook on life. Since they moved here they both feel needed again, which was something they didn’t realize they were lacking. Mamá no longer has a blank stare on her face as if she’s lost, which makes all of us feel better. I suppose it’s hard when you’ve spent your life taking care of others, and suddenly they’re all gone. All you have left are blank walls to stare at and too many hours in your day.<br />
<br />
Once I finished my apprenticeship, I found an apartment above a small diner in the middle of Little Ivywood. As a single guy, it meant easy access to food, which was handy since I can wield a hammer, but not a frying pan. After living there for just a few months the owner took me under her wing and insisted I have a hot meal twice a day when I’m home. Usually my dinner is the leftover special of the day she packages up and leaves for me to pick up. She calls it a special perk only for renters and you won’t hear me complain. Her food is fantastic and she often fixes authentic Mexican food, which reminds me of my childhood. <br />
<br />
I grew up eating authentic Mexican food, since Maḿa moved to the U.S. on a work visa from Mexico. She attended most of her formative years of school here, but lived with her aunt, who owned a Hispanic grocery and café. Fresh out of high school, she fell in love with a guy named Bennie and as they say, the rest is history. She learned to cook from the women in her family, and we grew up on the spoils of her talent. Having a Hispanic mother meant something different to each of us. Like Tabitha and Cinn, I’m fluently bilingual, but I got most of my dominant genes from my dad. At nearly six feet two inches, I’m as thin as a twig, at least according to my landlord, but didn’t luck out and get the golden skin tone my sisters inherited. The one thing I did get from Maḿa, besides her love of food, was her beautiful black hair. I used to keep it long, weaving it into a braid while I worked, but after attending a safety class in college, and learning I could be scalped if it got caught in certain tools, I cut it immediately.<br />
<br />
“Hello? Is anybody home?” called a voice from the front of the shelter. <br />
<br />
I dropped my hammer into my tool belt and strode to the door, which opened to the waiting area. There was a woman sitting in the open space, gazing at the pictures on the walls. Her long chocolate brown hair curled around her cheeks. Her face held the roundness of a small child, but glowed with exuberance. Cherub was the word which rolled through my mind. She reminded me of someone I used to know, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. All I knew was she took my breath away and tied my tongue as I stood frozen in place. <br />
<br />
When I could take a breath again, I held the door open with one hand. “Hello, are you looking for someone?” <br />
<br />
Her head swiveled in my direction and she smiled. In all my life never has a smile rendered me speechless the way hers did today. “Hi, yes, my friend, Cinn Dalton, or rather Cinn Kern,” she said, her voice lilting in a way to make me think she was a singer or a poet. I had heard it before. The grocery store? College? I couldn’t decide.<br />
<br />
I let the door go and stepped forward, sticking my hand out for her to shake after I checked to make sure it was clean. “Nice to meet you, I’m Cinn’s brother, Lorenzo.” The feel of her hand in mine made me breathless, and I immediately wondered how the rest of her would feel under my hands. I swallowed as a feeling of sadness, loneliness, and pain gripped me. I shook my head a little bit to clear it and drew my hand back immediately. “What’s your name, beautiful?” <br />
<br />
She laughed, throwing her head back and holding her hands to her chest as if she was praying. “It’s been a long time since someone called me beautiful. Thanks, Lorenzo.”<br />
<br />
I grinned, nodding my head. “I only speak the truth, Ms….”<br />
<br />
“Catalina Chávez,” she answered, finishing my sentence for me. “You don’t remember me? I’m an old friend of Cinn’s from middle school. Boy, you certainly have grown up, Lorenzo. The last time I saw you, I think you came to here on me.” She held her hand near her neck and then let her hand drop. <br />
<br />
I knelt in front of her wheelchair, so I could gaze into her eyes. “Tally?” I asked, shocked to be in front of the girl who used to practically live at my house when she and Cinn were in middle school. She wore braces on her teeth, drew on everything she could find, and barely spoke. The girl from my childhood had become a knockout.<br />
<br />
She nodded, twisting her hands on her lap. “I am, but no one calls me Tally anymore. The life you remember ended for me a long time ago. Everyone calls me Lina now.”<br />
<br />
I shook my head a few times as I ran my childhood backward through my memory. No matter what way I remembered it, she wasn’t in a wheelchair during the time she spent at our house. “You don’t look a thing like a Lina,” I mused. “I never cared for Tally, either. You always seemed like a cat to me. Mysterious, posed, and regal. I do believe I’ll go with Cat, if you’re all right with it.” I grinned and she did too, almost a mirror image of my own. Her head bounced up and down once, but it was enough for me to know she was fine with it. “I know my sister is around here somewhere. I’m a carpenter now and working on the shelter expansion, which is why I’m here at three p.m. on a Wednesday.”<br />
<br />
She appeared surprised, but folded her hands in her lap. “I feel ancient sitting here talking to the boy who used to wear Underoos and tried to scare us while we watched scary movies.”<br />
<br />
I laughed, and groaned, at the same time and waved my hand as if to wipe the memory away. “I promise you, I’m not an Underoos boy any longer.”<br />
<br />
She shook her head. “No, you certainly aren’t. You’re all grown up now and I’m a little tongue-tied."<br />

I love Lorenzo he's sweet kind and once he lays eyes on Cat he can't get her out of his mind. Having two sisters and strong mother Lorenzo knows how to treat a lady. He's a sexy carpenter who can make a girl weak in the knees. Cat has had a rough life but she's still positive and ready to step out of her shell. She's caring and the type of friend you'd love to have. Their connection and attraction is undeniable. Cat and Lorenzo fight the odds for their love to last as obstacles are thrown at them left and right. If you enjoy an amazing friends to lovers romance with some mystery and suspense thrown in, then I highly recommend reading Inherited Light!</div>

<i>When Wicked Comes Calling…</i><br>
When a mysterious stranger
finds his way into her bedchamber and offers his help in landing a duke,
Lady Felicity Faircloth agrees—on one condition. She’s seen enough of
the world to believe in passion, and won’t accept a marriage without it.<br>
<i>The Wallflower Makes a Dangerous Bargain...</i><br>
Bastard
son of a duke and king of London’s dark streets, Devil has spent a
lifetime wielding power and seizing opportunity, and the spinster
wallflower is everything he needs to exact a revenge years in the
making. All he must do is turn the plain little mouse into an
irresistible temptress, set his trap, and destroy his enemy.<br>
<i>For the Promise of Passion...</i><br>
But
there’s nothing plain about Felicity Faircloth, who quickly decides
she’d rather have Devil than another. Soon, Devil’s carefully laid plans
are in chaos and he must choose between everything he’s ever wanted…and
the only thing he’s ever desired.<br>

<b>Most days Rebecca Lindt feels like an imposter…</b><br>
The
world admires her as a survivor. But that impression would crumble if
people knew her secret. She didn’t deserve to be the one who got away.
But nothing can change the past, so she’s thrown herself into her work.
She can’t dwell if she never slows down.<br>
Wes Garrett is trying to
get back on his feet after losing his dream restaurant, his money, and
half his damn mind in a vicious divorce. But when he intervenes in a
mugging and saves Rebecca—the attorney who helped his ex ruin him—his
simple life gets complicated.<br>
Their attraction is inconvenient
and neither wants more than a fling. But when Rebecca’s secret is put at
risk, both discover they could lose everything, including what they
never realized they needed: each other<br>
<br>
<i>She laughed
and kissed him. This morning she'd melted down. But somehow this man had
her laughing and turned on only a few hours later. Everything inside
her felt buoyed. </i><br>
<i>She felt…light.</i><br>
<i>She'd forgotten what that felt like.</i><br>

<b>She knows the kind of man he is;<br>The kind who breaks hearts.<br>But a hot summer at the Jersey Shore<br>Might be just what they need to light up their lives…</b><br>
As
the only daughter of a single mom, Connie Reyes swore she would never
put herself or her child in a similar position. But when she runs into
oh so tempting Jonathan Pierce at a wedding, she knows she must stay
away. She'll fall for him—hard. And he's not the type to stick around.<br>
Ever
since he left town after their teenaged fling, Jonathan hasn't been
able to forget about Connie. He can't wait for the wedding—to show her
the man he's become. And when the night finally comes, their mutual
desire will lead to unexpected consequences neither of them were
prepared for…<br>

<b>Years after betraying her, he’s back in Haven Point…and ready to learn the truth</b><br>
<br>
Megan
Hamilton never really liked Elliot Bailey. He turned his back on her
family when they needed him the most and it almost tore them all apart.
So she’s shocked when Elliot arrives at her family’s inn, needing a
place to stay and asking questions that dredge up the past. Megan will
rent him a cottage, but that’s where it ends—no matter how gorgeous
Elliot has become. <br>
<br>
Coming back home to Haven Point was the last
thing bestselling writer Elliot Bailey thought he’d ever do. But the
book he’s writing now is his most personal one yet and it’s drawn him
back to the woman he can’t get out of his mind. Seeing Megan again is
harder than he expected and it brings up feelings he’d thought were long
buried. Could this be his chance to win over his first love?

<i><b>Within the Worthingtons’ extended family circle, laughter and
romance rule, and a young lady never settles for less than true love . .
.</b></i><br />
<br />
With her three good friends all recently married,
Elizabeth Turley is ready for some husband-hunting of her own. One
gentleman in particular sparks her interest. Geoffrey, Earl of
Harrington is tall, handsome, and dashing. He’s also just a bit too sure
of himself. But Elizabeth has observed enough about the rules of
attraction to pique the earl’s attention. Yet once she has it, the
discovery of a troubling secret taints her future happiness . . .<br />
<br />
Lord
Harrington must marry or lose a prestigious position in Brussels, and
pretty, well-connected Elizabeth fits his needs admirably. But could it
be that he has underestimated his bride? She doesn’t bat an eye in the
face of the danger they encounter overseas. She’s strong-willed,
intelligent, and more enticing each day—yet also more indifferent to
him. Now Geoffrey faces his greatest challenge: to woo and win his own
wife, or risk losing her for good...<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Elizabeth has been interested in Geoffrey since he had started his pursuit of her best friend, who chose another man, introduced them because they had so much in common. Though she fell for him she's determined to marry for love both giving and receiving. She is strong, intelligent and extremely unique. Geoffrey is a bit frustrating in his determination of finding the right wife for the "job". He is extremely focused yet caring and swoon worthy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This story was a fast paced read that had me on an emotional roller coaster for both of them throughout the story. As my first Ella Quinn book I loved every bit and will be reading more of her stories in the future! If you enjoy a great historical romance with a strong protagonist who's willing to walk through fire for others, I highly recommend reading You Never Forget Your First Earl.</div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Following the USA Today bestselling author of Lost and Found Sisters comes Jill Shalvis' moving story of heart, loss, betrayal, and friendship</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Six months after Lanie Jacobs’ husband’s death, it’s hard to imagine anything could deepen her sense of pain and loss. But then Lanie discovers she isn’t the only one grieving his sudden passing. A serial adulterer, he left behind several other women who, like Lanie, each believe she was his legally wedded wife.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rocked by the infidelity, Lanie is left to grapple with searing questions. How could she be so wrong about a man she thought she knew better than anyone? Will she ever be able to trust another person? Can she even trust herself?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Desperate to make a fresh start, Lanie impulsively takes a job at the family-run Capriotti Winery. At first, she feels like an outsider among the boisterous Capriottis. With no real family of her own, she’s bewildered by how quickly they all take her under their wing and make her feel like she belongs. Especially Mark Capriotti, a gruffly handsome Air Force veteran turned deputy sheriff who manages to wind his way into Lanie’s cold, broken heart—along with the rest of the clan.</span><br>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">As an audiobook narrator, Clementine Cox
has no trouble mastering the voices of space aliens, elven warriors, or even
demon-possessed cats. But the moment she tries her hand at an erotic romance,
she’s stumped. With her deadline looming, she books a week at a secluded cabin
to restore her inner muse, telling her loving-but-overbearing family it’s a
romantic getaway with her not-so-existent new boyfriend to keep them from
worrying. She never expects them to invite themselves along to meet the new
guy. Now, she has less than twenty-four hours to find a pretend boyfriend in
order to save her job and, potentially, her sanity.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br>
<br>
<span style="background: white;">Workaholic Jake Donovan isn’t interested in a
real relationship. After a broken engagement, all he wants to do is focus on
keeping his brewpub, the Holy Grale, afloat. But when he finds out his favorite
customer is in need of a fake boyfriend, and his business partners insist he
take a long overdue vacation, he has no choice but to help Clem out. All he has

A simple thing to remember… unless you’re a matchmaker with amnesia.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Duke of Rydstrom requires a wife. Preferably one with a large fortune and a complete lack of curiosity. The last thing he needs is a meddling matchmaker determined to dig up his dark family secrets.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All Jacinda wants is to find a bride for a duke. How hard could that be? He’s handsome, enigmatic… and hiding something. She’s sure of it. Determined to discover what it is, she travels to his crumbling cliffside estate. Yet, by the time she washes up on his beach, she can no longer remember who she is, or why the duke is so familiar to her. All she knows is that his kisses are unforgettable—and she intends to use every skill she can to discover what’s in his heart . . .</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Miss Bourne can’t remember what brought her to his ancestral home, Rydstrom intends to keep it that way. Yet as the days pass, his true challenge will be safeguarding his secret while resisting this woman who—confound it all—may well be his perfect match.</div>

<b> </b><b>TEMPTING THE LAIRD Synopsis:</b></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Mystery and desire cloak the Scottish Highlands</b></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Unruly. Unmarried. Unapologetic. Catriona Mackenzie’s reputation precedes her everywhere she goes. Her beloved late aunt Zelda taught Cat to live out loud and speak her mind, and that’s exactly what she does when Zelda’s legacy—a refuge for women in need—comes under fire. When her quest puts her in the path of the disturbingly mysterious Hamlin Graham, Duke of Montrose, Cat is soon caught up in the provocative rumors surrounding the dark duke. Never one to retreat, Cat boldly goes where no one else has dared for answers.</h3><a href="http://forgetthehouseworkimreading.blogspot.com/2018/06/tempting-laird-julia-london.html#more">Read more »</a>Forget the Housework, I'm Reading...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08584943000842306864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1247648456241151607.post-77899076528551523672018-06-04T08:00:00.000-04:002018-06-04T08:00:13.150-04:00Love at Last - Claudia Connor Cover Reveal<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

love, easy to leave. </i></b><b><br>
<br>
</b>With her ex-fiance's
words, I'm in love with someone else, still ringing in her ears, Clare Franklin
flies off on her would-be honeymoon alone. Resigned to the fact that not
everyone gets a happily ever after, she's sworn off men. Until she gets tangled
up, quite literally, with one very sexy veterinarian.<br>
<br>
The only thing Dr. Deacon Montgomery is looking to share is his surgical
expertise, but his instant attraction to Clare makes him wonder if he could be
more than just a doctor, and daddy to his twin two-year old daughters.<br>
<br>
Sun-filled days and hot, steamy nights only deepens the connection, causing
them each to hope for something more. Until one phone call from home changes
everything. But a love like theirs is hard to find, and definitely too hard to
forget.</span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></b><br>
