Until Ashlynn

by Aurora Rose Reynolds

 

I am a huge Aurora Rose Reynolds fan, she writes great alphas, and just the right amount of angst.  I was very excited to read this one.  This is part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone.  

Synopsis:
Dillon Keck knew Ashlyn Mayson was drunk when she suggested they get married. He knew he should have taken her back to their hotel room and put her to bed. Instead, he did what he had been craving to do since the moment they met.
Claim her as his.
Waking up married in Vegas isn't something Ashlyn Mayson ever thought would happen to her. Having Dillon, her boss, a man she thinks is a dick, insist they stay married is absurd, but every time he touches her, she gets lost in him and wonders if maybe they are meant to be together.
But someone isn't happy for Dillon and Ashlyn and their new found romance, and they're willing to do anything to keep them apart. Even commit murder.

Waking up in Vegas married is not a new thing for romance books.  But I did like the way that Dillon and Ashlyn handled it.  I love the banter between the 2 of these characters.  Dillon is a super alpha and Ashlyn is a fun smart sexy girl.  There is some action and drama as always too.  And I loved that we got a little of the characters from previous books.  

 

 

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.  It can be read as a stand alone, but I recommend reading the whole series!!

Jaded Hearts 

by Harper Sloan

 

Jaded Hearts is the first book in the new series but Harper Sloan.  It is a spin off of the Hope Town series, but you do not have to have read the Hope Town series to start this new one. 

 

 

Synopsis:

Signing with Brighthouse Records was supposed to be everything we ever wanted—our better life. Our chance at everything we never had but always wanted. All our dreams would finally come true and we were on top of the world.
It was our chance at the happiness we never had in life.
Our every desire was at our fingertips and the power of that feeling was all consuming. But then it took every dream we thought would come true and it slapped us in the face with the cold hard reality.
Dreams were just that…something that floated on the cusp of untouchable, taunting you with every graze of your fingertips before slipping even further away.
Happiness…that feeling is a joke.
In the end it became painfully obvious that each of us would always have each other, but we would forever be alone.

This rock star book was different or a couple reasons.  It was about female, and it was also about the darker side.  Where everything isn't great grand and wonderful and the struggles that go along with it.  Wren was a badass, and tough.  She was a little hard to relate to in the beginning.  But as I got more insight into her, I really liked her.  We met Chance in earlier books,. but we really go to know him in this book.  And there was a lot of sexiness in this story for sure.  Add in a little drama and you have this book. 

 

This book is live and available too, this is the first in the series, and I can't wait to read about the other bandmembers!!

One

by ES Carter

 

I am a huge fan of ES Carter and I have enjoyed all her books, and this one made me nervous, but was very excited to read it none the less.

 

 

Synopsis:

One click.
One perfect frame.
That's all it takes to capture an eternal moment; although most people let them pass by without acknowledgement.
I don't waste any.
Not a single one.
If I see something of beauty, I want to experience it, feel it and immortalise it.
If I see someone of beauty, I want to taste them, worship them and memorise them.
I don't have a type, if I like you, I like you.
I don't have a preference.
My bisexuality is a gift, not a defect.
It's the freedom to see beyond gender.
One blink.
One touch.
One night.
Life is filled with so many ones.
One chance to get things right.
One life to live as you choose.
One decision that gives you acceptance.
One person to fill the emptiness.
Just one?
Nah, like I said, life is full of ones.
My camera lets me focus on the good times; I develop from life's negatives, and if things don't work out, I just take another shot.
Who needs just one? 

 

We met Isaac in previous books and he was bi sexual, so I wasn't sure which way this book was going to go.  So that being said, this is my first m/m book!  That is what made me nervous.  This story is beautifully written.  It's a story about figuring out who you are and what you want from life.  It is heartbreaking at times, but also inspiring.  It is also extremely HOT!  This was an emotional gripping story that I really enjoyed.  

All the books in this series are available now and I recommend all of them.

Hold My Breath

by Ginger Scott

 

 

Synopsis:

Fractions of seconds can do lots of damage. One decision can ruin lives. A blink can be tragic. And loving a Hollister…can hurt like hell.

I would know.

They say the average person can hold their breath under water for two full minutes when pushed to the extremes. Will Hollister has been holding his for years. The oldest of two elite swimming brothers, Will was always a dominant force in the water. But in life, he preferred to let his younger brother Evan be the one to shine.

Evan got the girl, and Will…he got to bury all of the secrets. A brother’s burden, the weight of it all nearly left him to drown.

The daughter of two Olympians, my path was set the day my fingertips first touched water. My future was as crystal clear as the lane I dominated in the pool—swim hard, win big, love a Hollister.

My life with Evan burned bright. He gave me arms to come home to, and a smile that fooled the world into believing everything was perfect. But it was Will who pushed me. Will…who really knew me.

And when all of the pieces fell, it was Will who started to pick them up.

In the end, the only thing that matters are those few precious seconds—and what we decide to do while we still have them in our grasp. 

 

I have become a huge Ginger Scott in the last few months, and I have devoured everything I could find by her.  I was very excited for this one, and I loved it!

I liked Maddy from the beginning.  She was strong, but sad.  Maddy's future went on hold when her boyfriend Evan died in a plane crash.  And Will, his older brother has come back and stirred up all those feelings.  This is the story of both of them moving past that and moving forward together.  And in true Ginger Scott style, there is quite a twist that I did not see coming.    

This story is sad at times, but also uplifting and inspiring.  I highly recommend this story

Heat Wave

by Karina Halle

 

This is a brand new stand alone by Karina Halle and I am a huge fan of hers, so I was excited to get my hands on this one.

 

Synopsis:

They say when life closes one door, another one opens.
This door happens to lead to paradise.
And a man I can never, ever have.

Still grieving the loss of her sister who died two years ago, the last thing Veronica "Ronnie" Locke needed was to lose her job at one of Chicago’s finest restaurants and have to move back in with her parents. So when a window of opportunity opens for her – running a kitchen at a small Hawaiian hotel – she’d be crazy not to take it.

The only problem is, the man running the hotel drives her crazy:
Logan Shephard.
It doesn’t matter that he’s got dark brown eyes, a tall, muscular build that’s sculpted from daily surfing sessions, and a deep Australian accent that makes your toes curl.
What does matter is that he’s a grump.
Kind of an asshole, too.
And gets under Ronnie’s skin like no one else.

But the more time Ronnie spends on the island of Kauai, falling in love with the lush land and its carefree lifestyle, the closer she gets to Logan. And the closer she gets to Logan, the more she realizes she may have pegged him all wrong. Maybe it’s the hot, steamy jungles or the invigorating ocean air, but soon their relationship becomes utterly intoxicating.

There’s just one major catch.

The two of them together would incite a scandal neither Ronnie, nor her family, would ever recover from. 

Halle has brought us another amazing romance in an incredible location.  This book is about longing, love, moving forward and forgetting the past and finding who your family is.  When Veronica arrives in Hawaii she is lost and at the end of her rope.  And Logan, her brother in law and the hotel owner, is broody and sexy and Veronica wants to hate him.  Watching them both come to know who they are and what they want is amazing.  And the scenery in the story is incredible.  It makes you feel as though you are there, and now I want to go to Hawaii!!! 

This is available now and I highly recommend it.  This is a complete stand alone with a happy ending and amazing scenery.

Lucas

by Jay McLean

 

 

Synopsis:
In a sprint, every millisecond counts.
When you're waiting for love, those milliseconds can feel like eons.

High school senior Lucas Preston has it all: star of the track team, a scholarship waiting for him, an apartment to himself and a revolving door of girlfriends. He also has an older sister, five younger brothers and a father who relies on him to make sure those brothers don't kill each other.

His saving grace? Lois "Laney" Sanders, a girl he started to fall in like with when he was just eleven.
A girl who became his best friend, his confidant, his courage.

It took only sixteen clicks and eight seconds for Lucas to realize that his like for Laney had turned into love.
Eight life-changing seconds.
It's also the exact length of time it took to lose her. 

 

I am a huge fan of this author and I fell in love with Lucas immediately.  This is a spin off from the More Than series, and we met Lucas in Lucy and Cameron's book.  I have always loved Jay McLean's books because they are funny and sweet but also emotional and heartbreaking.  And this one is no different.  In Lucy's book we get to know some of the Preston family, but this one gets even deeper in there dynamic.  It made me feel like I was part of the Preston clan.  And Laney was amazing.  She was strong and sweet, but also vulnerable.  There was of course a time when I wanted to scream at them both!  And also several heart breaking parts, I adored the whole thing.  The relationship between Lucas and Laney was so complex and sweet and I loved being a part of it.

 Lucas is available now, and I highly recommend it!!

Preppy Part 1

by TM Frazier 

I am a huge fan of this series, and I loved Preppy in the previous books so I was so excited for his story!!  This is not a stand alone, you will need to have read the first 4 books in this series to really understand what's going on.  

Synopsis:

Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck.

He’s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the life he loves.

Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung out and tired.

Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.

And their deaths.

For most people, death is the end of their story.
For Preppy and Dre, death was only the beginning. 

 

I loved this story.  Preppy is hilarious and super twisted.  We loved him so much in the first books in the series, that I was afraid this book wouldn't live up.  But it definitely did!  This story is very dark and twisted, with a little angst thrown in!! We get the darkness with this story, but also a ton of emotion.  We get into Preppy's head and we learn why he is who he is.  

Dre is a new character, and when we meet her, she is a mess.  But as I got further into the story I fell in love with her.  There were times I wanted to scream at the both of them.   

This is Part 1, so it does end in a cliffhanger, but not as bad as I feared.  I can't wait to get my hands on Part 2.

The Bachelor Auction

by Rachel Van Dyken

 

 

I love this author so I as always, I was excited to read this one.  Rachel Van Dyken's books are always fun and sexy, with a little twist, and this one didn't disappoint.  

Synopsis:
Jane isn't entirely sure that Cinderella got such a raw deal. Sure, she had a rough start, but didn't she eventually land a prince and a happily-ever-after? Meanwhile, Jane is busy waiting on her demanding, entitled sisters, running her cleaning business, and . . . yep, not a prince in sight. Until a party and a broken shoe incident leave Jane wondering if princes---or at least, a certain deliciously hunky billionaire---maybe do exist.

Except Brock Wellington isn't anyone's dream guy. Hell, a prince would never agree to be auctioned off in marriage to the highest bidder. Or act like an arrogant jerk---even if it was just a façade. Now, as Brock is waiting for the auction chopping block, he figures it's karmic retribution that he's tempted by a sexy, sassy woman he can't have. But while they can't have a fairy-tale ending, maybe they can indulge in a little bit of fantasy . 

I loved this characters in this story.  Jane was sweet and innocent and Brock was sexy and a little jaded.  RVD always has a way of making you fall in love with not only the main characters, but also the supporting cast.  I LOVED the twins and can't wait to read more about them.  I also enjoyed the Cinderella references, they were so fun.  
This is a light and fun read that I highly recommend.  It's sexy and sweet but will also make you laugh

Unstable

by SE Hall

 

I am a big SE Hall fan so I was excited to get a new one from her.  And the cover is HOT!!!!

 

Synopsis:

After eight years, Henley Calvert is headed home. Back to the family farm and small town she left behind, never to be thought of again.

Too much regret and shame to bear.

But she’s the only one left to see to her family’s legacy, so she must return to Ashfall and face all the ghosts that haunt her.

****

Gatlin Holt, the family farmhand, awaits her arrival, and lends a hand—in more ways than one. He reacquaints Henley with the lay of the land while helping her heal her soul with a new outlook on life.

Yet every time she thinks some peace may be within reach, Henley hits another roadblock. The biggest of which is Keaton Cash—her childhood nemesis who owns the farm next door.

****

And no, it’s not a love triangle. That’s impossible when Henley’s heart is closed, incapable of love.  

I know this says it is not a triangle, but at first I really thought it was.  It doesn't take long to figure out it's not.  It took me awhile to come around to Henley.  She starts off very brash and rough.  Once we got some insight into her we figure out why she is that way.  This is one of those stories where you can't put it down because you have to know where it's going.  

   

 There is a sexy, dirty talking cowboy, and a super wise cowboy you just want to hug, but I'm not going to tell you which is which!  There is a crazy crazy twist at the end!!  I highly recommend this one.  I promise you will be surprised!

Falling Book 1

by Lesley Jones

 

I am a huge fan of this author so I was excited to read this new one.  However, she makes me nervous too, if you have read Carnage you know why!!  So this is Book 1, but it does not end in a cliffy.  

 

 

 

Synopsis:

It only takes one defining moment.
One look.
One dance.
One conversation.
Sarah knows from the second she meets Liam that their connection is more than just instant attraction. It’s deep, it’s consuming, and has the potential to be the real thing. But true love comes at a price.
Fuelled by Liam's past, Sarah's issues, and a messy web of family ties, business partnerships, and exes, the combined forces threaten to snuff out their new found relationship. Will that spark be smothered by outside forces? Or will they be carried like smoke from the ashes and sent spiralling skywards?
 

I have always liked the way that Lesley Jones writes.   Her writing is heartfelt, sometimes heart breaking, and funny.  She uses a ton of British/Australian slang, and I sometimes have to look them up, but I love it!  

Liam Delaney was a super sexy rugged Australian and I loved him from the start.  He fell for Sarah immediately.  And Sarah Carter was an innocent sweet girl that couldn't believe Liam wanted her.  

 

 

This is Book 1, but does end in a cliffhanger.  It is full of angst, and there is a character that you will hate.  I can't wait to see what she does with Book 2.  Book 2 will be out later this year, so not a super long wait!!

Wide Open Spaces

by Aurora Rose Reynolds

 

Synopsis:

That moment your life changes.
That moment that changes your life.
That moment you love someone more than you love yourself.
That was the moment we gave our son up for adoption and the moment I was left bare. A wide-open space that would forever be empty.
There are moments that define you as a person, moments that prove just how strong you are, moments you push yourself to keep going forward when all you really want to do is give up. It was in one of those moments when I reached out and found him waiting for me.

When Shelby Calder left home fifteen years ago, she never planned on returning to the Alaskan town she left behind. But after the death of her grandfather and a bitter divorce, she hopes going home will be a fresh start for her and her ten-year-old son.

Zach Watters has made a lot of mistakes in his life. But when he sees Shelby Calder, looking more beautiful than ever, standing outside her childhood home, he promises himself that letting her go won't be a mistake he ever makes again.

Some things never change and love is one of them

 

I am a huge fan of this author so I was pumped to read this one.  the prologue sucked me in and completely broke my heart.  It had me in tears before the first chapter.  I loved Zach!  He was a sexy alpha that thiis author always does so well.  I enjoyed the story and it was an easy quick read, however, I do feel like a lot of the issues were not dealt with.  It seemed super easy and lacking a little drama and angst.  But it was a sweet story and I really enjoyed it

The Debt

by Karina Halle

I am a huge fan of this author and this series, so i couldn't wait to read this one.  This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.  

Synopsis:

Jessica Charles shouldn't have even been in London when the unthinkable happened.
She should have been back at home in Edinburgh, perhaps hanging with her boyfriend, having drinks with her sister or doing yoga with her group of friends. She should have been going on in her normal, dependable life as always.

But on that fateful day in August, when a mentally-ill ex-soldier opened fire in public, Jessica's world changed forever.

Now single and crippled from the gunshot wounds, Jessica finds herself scared and alone, losing faith in herself and humanity with each agonizing moment that passes.
That is until a stranger enters her life. A stranger who makes her live again.

Keir McGregor has always been the strong, silent type. Throw in tall, dark, and handsome and you've got pretty much the perfect Scotsman.

Except Keir is anything but perfect. He's got a past he's running away from and a guilty conscience he can't seem to shed. But the more time he spends with Jessica, the more he falls in love with her.

And the more his secret threatens to tear them apart.

He may have been a stranger to her.
But she's never been a stranger to him. 

This book sucked me immediately!  The prologue gripped me from the start and I wanted to just sit and devour the whole thing.  Jessica's story is heartbreaking from the beginning.  A tragedy that was unthinkable happened to her, and this is the story of how she overcomes that!  And Keir, swoon!  He is a dirty talking, broken Scots men and I fell in love with him immediately.

This book also painted such an incredible picture of Scotland and all it's beauty that now I want to visit.  The places and scenery described in this story sound incredible!!!

  

Karina Halle is an amazing writer that always has the ability to break my heart and put it back together and put it back together again.  She is an automatic one-click for me, she writes contemporary romance at it's best!  This book is available now, and I highly recommend it, along with all of her books!!  Grab it now!!

Wait

by AL Jackson

I am a huge AL Jackson and I loved this series, I was super excited to read this book.  I couldn't wait to see what happened to Austin

Synopsis:

She is his strength and he is her weakness. And this time he won’t let her go. Edie Evans is gorgeous. Sexy. Kind. She’s also the definition of off-limits. But that didn't stop me from sneaking into her room to comfort her at night. But guys like me? We destroy everything, so it should have been no surprise when I destroyed us, too. The night I sent her running, I thought I’d never see her again. Until I saw her standing like a vision in the crowd. Austin Stone is dangerous. Alluring. Tempting. He broke my heart and I refused to give him the chance to do it again. It’s been years since I’ve seen him, and now I can’t do anything but stare at the gorgeous, tattooed man playing onstage. I should run. I know I should. But like a fool, I run straight back to him. Our desire is overpowering. Our need unrelenting. She is my hope. He is my weakness. We should have known a passion this intense would burn us right into the ground. 

Wait is part of the Bleeding Stars series, it can be read as a stand alone.  I really enjoyed getting into Austin's head.  We met him in previous books, but we didn't really know his whole story.  This book really delves into his demons and why he is the way he is.  

Edie was a sweet sad girl, and her story was heartbreaking.  Watching her and Austin come into there own was beautiful.  

I love Al Jacksons writing.  Her writing in beautiful and heartfelt and it totally sucks you in.

Reapers Fire

by Joanna Wylde

 

I am a huge fan of the Reapers series, so I was very excited to review this one.  This is part of the Reapers series but I do think it can be read as a standalone.

 

Synopsis:

The club comes first.

I’ve lived by those words my whole life—assumed I’d die by them, too, and I never had a problem with that. My Reaper brothers took my back and I took theirs and it was enough. Then I met her. Tinker Garrett. She’s beautiful, she’s loyal, and she works so damned hard it scares me sometimes . . . She deserves a good man—one better than me. I can’t take her yet because the club still needs me. There’s another woman, another job, another fight just ahead.

Now she’ll learn I’ve been lying to her all along. None of it’s real. Not my name, not my job, not even the clothes I wear. She thinks I’m nice. She pretends we’re just friends, that I’ve still got a soul . . . Mine’s been dead for years. Now I’m on fire for this woman, and a man can only burn for so long before he destroys everything around him.

I’m coming for you, Tinker.

Soon.  

 

I devoured this book.  I loved Tinker and Gage.  Gage was an uber alpha biker.  And Tinker was sassy and hilarious.  Her inner dialogue cracked me up.  I wanted to scream at Gage for a huge portion of the book, but I loved him!  And the cover is smokin HOT!

 

 

This book is live now and I highly recommend it.  It's sexy, funny, and a little mystery thrown in.  This is one of my favorite biker series!!

The Hard Count

by Ginger Scott

 

I am a huge fan of Ginger Scott so I was very excited to read this book.  This is a stand alone YA romance.  The romance really is secondary to the sports and private school politics.  I LOVED it.

Synopsis:
Nico Medina’s world is eleven miles away from mine. During the day, it’s a place where doors are open—where homes are lived in, and neighbors love. But when the sun sets, it becomes a place where young boys are afraid, where eyes watch from idling cars that hide in the shadows and wicked smoke flows from pipes.

West End is the kind of place that people survive. It buries them—one at a time, one way or another. And when Nico was a little boy, his mom always told him to run.

I’m Reagan Prescott—coach’s daughter, sister to the prodigal son, daughter in the perfect family.
Life on top.
Lies.
My world is the ugly one. Private school politics and one of the best high school football programs in the country can break even the toughest souls. Our darkness plays out in whispers and rumors, and money and status trump all. I would know—I’ve watched it kill my family slowly, strangling us for years.

In our twisted world, a boy from West End is the only shining light.
Quarterback.
Hero.
Heart.
Good.
I hated him before I needed him.
I fell for him fast.
I loved him when it was almost too late.

When two ugly worlds collide, even the strongest fall. But my world…it hasn’t met the boy from West End.

 

This book is an emotional sports romance.  I loved Reagan Prescott and her love of football and everything that includes.  She is loyal to her family, and her love of the game.  And Nico is a boy from the wrong side of town, but he has so much character.  I loved him!!  This story shows the emotion and politics of high school football and private school drama!  The relationship that develops between Nico and Reagan's father is beautiful.  

This book is live now and I highly recommend it!!

Filthy English

by Ilsa Madden-Mills

 

I was a huge fan of Dirty English so I was super pumped to read about Dax.  This book can be read as a stand alone.

 

Synopsis:

A smokin’ hot British player…
A jilted girl…
One night of mistaken identity…

Two weeks before her wedding, Remi Montague’s fiancé drops her faster than a drunken sorority girl in stilettos. Armed with her best friend and a bottle of tequila, she hops a plane to London to drown her sorrows before fall semester begins at Whitman University.

She didn't plan on attending a masquerade party. She sure didn’t plan on waking up next to the British bad boy who broke her heart three years ago—the devastatingly handsome and naked Dax Blay. Furthermore, she has no clue how they acquired matching tattoos.

Once back at Whitman together, they endeavor to pretend they never had their night of unbridled passion in London.

But that’s damn hard to do when you live in the same house…
One night. Two damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime. 

 

This book sucked me in immediately.  This book was full of angst and tons of sexual tension.  Dax was a super sexy British bad boy, and Remi (such a cool name) was sassy and fun!  I love a second chance romance, and this had all of that and more.  I wanted to scream at Dax and Remi occasionally, but I loved them both!

Filthy English is available now, and for a very limited time it is on sale for $.99!  I highly recommend this book, it's full of angst and I adored it!  And the cover is smoking HOT!

Hitched

by Kendall Ryan

 

 

Synopsis:

 

Marry the girl I've had a crush on my whole life? Check.
Inherit a hundred-billion-dollar company? Check.

Produce an heir... Wait, what?
I have ninety days to knock up my brand-new fake wife. There's only one problem--she hates my guts.
And in the fine print of the contract? The requirement that we produce an heir.
She can't stand to be in the same room with me. Says she'll never be in my bed.  

I have always enjoyed this author, her book are usually fun light and sexy reads.  This one was a little different.  After reading the synopsis, I was pretty sure I knew what would happen.  Boy loves girl and convinces her to marry him and they fall in love and live happily ever after.  That is not how it goes however.  The characters are fun, Noah was cocky and sexy, and funny.  Olivia was a little harder for me to get on board with, but eventually we got to know her and I felt like I could relate to her.  

 

This is the first book in the series and the end is a cliffy!  The next one comes out on 7/19 though, so not a super long wait!

Everything

by Erin Noelle

 

If you were a fan of The Book Boyfriend series, you need to read this book!  Although, it can be read as a standlone.

 

Synopsis:

Music was part of my DNA, pumping hard through my veins, resonating deep within my bones. Not surprising, considering my dad was a global rock star and my mom had the voice of a fallen angel.

With my twins sister by my side in our indie-rock duo, Singed Wings, we were ready to finally see our name in lights when we opened for the hottest act to sell out stadiums - Jobu's Rum Summer Reunion Tour.

The life I'd always wanted was finally within my reach. All I had left to do was finish out my last semester of high school.

But there was one problem: MS, Sloan, the new art history teacher.

The same Ms. Sloan I'd met as Belle, the sexy little pixie who'd captivated me at a New Year's Eve concert.

The same Ms. Sloan who'd owned nearly every one of my thoughts since that night.

With.   my dream gig dangling just on the other side of that cap and gown, all of my focus should've been on my school work and improving my music as I prepared for my big shot to rock the world...

But I never expected her to rock mine first.
And to change Everything.

 

This story was a teacher student romance with a twist.  I really wasn't sure I was going to like it, but I really did.  Everett is a sexy rock star, and I am always a sucker for that.  And Belle was a sassy heroine.  

  

This was one of those stories where I really wasn't sure it could all work out.  It was super sexy and full on angst.  This story was better than good!  There is going to be more books in this series and I am super excited!  I highly recommend this!!

Say You'll Stay

by Corrine Michaels

 

I had no idea what this book going into it.  I have loved everything I have read by this author, so I was excited to read this one, and it did not disappoint.

Synopsis:

One word.

Stay.
It was all he had to do. Instead, he got on that bus and took my heart with him.

That was seventeen years ago.

I moved on. Marriage. Kids. White picket fence. Everything I ever wanted, but my husband betrayed me and I was left once again.

Alone, penniless, and with two boys, I had no choice but to return to Tennessee. He wasn’t supposed to be there. I should’ve been safe. However, fate has a way of stepping in.

This time around, the tables are turned. It’s my decision. Second chances do exist, but I don’t know if we can repair what’s already been broken . . . 

 

This book is absolutely heart breaking from the very beginning! The whole first half of this book was so sad, and made me want to hug Presley.  And we really don't get the whole story about her and Zach until pretty far in.  This second chance love story had so emotional.  I had all the feels, I could not put it down.

Obviously, I loved Zach the hot cowboy.  We also see Presley moving on and healing.  I loved all the characters in this story and I can't wait for more.  There are 4 Hennington bros all together, so I am hoping they all get a book!!!

 

This is definitely 5 stars for me and I highly recommend it!!
