Thrive 
by Aly Martinez

This is the second book in the Guardian Protection series but it can be read as a stand alone.  I loved the first one, so I was pumped to get this one.  


Synopsis:

When I was nineteen years old, I was faced with a choice that changed my life.
Keep the safety of what I already knew or risk losing everything with the young, hotheaded soldier who stole my heart.

I chose the wrong man, and for seventeen years, I paid in tears, blood, and shattered dreams for that decision.

Now, there’s a man in my house, holding a gun to my head on the order of my ex-husband—given from his prison cell.

That hotheaded soldier I was too afraid to choose? He’s now a six-foot-three wall of muscle who works at the country’s most premier bodyguard agency. I’ve always wanted him, but now, I’ve never needed him more.

It’s the call I’m terrified to make.
I’m sure he still hates me… Even though I’ve never stopped loving him.


I adored this book.  I was sucked in immediately.  The characters are amazing, and there is so many of them, so this series has a ton of material.  Jeremy was super alpha and broody, but also funny and sexy.  And Mira was sweet and sassy, but also vulnerable, and I wanted to hug her most of the book.  This book had all kinds of twists and turns.  It was also sweet, and sexy, and had some super funny parts.  
I highly recommend this book, as well as the first in the series, Singe.  Both have a little suspense, and are great romances.  This one is a great second chance romance, and I cannot say enough good things.  This book is available now, and is free in KU!!!

The Wright Secret
KA Linde


Synopsis:
I was just his best friend’s little sister.

But he was always more than that to me.

After twelve years of pining over Patrick’s easy smile, baby blues, and captivating charm, I decide to take matters into my own hands—and completely blow my chance.

Who knew a self-proclaimed manwhore would decide to be a gentleman the first time I’m naked in his bed? Definitely, not me. But when I land there again, neither of us has any intention of stopping.

There’s only one problem: nobody can know. Especially not my three older brothers. If they found out, all hell would break loose.

So I’m willing to keep our secret...

Because I want him Wright here, right now.

So technically this can be read as a stand alone, but we do meet these characters in previous books.  I was super excited to get there story.  Morgan has been in love with her brothers best friend Patrick for years.  And she always thought he didn't see her.  Watching the relationship develop was so good.  Morgan is a strong capable woman, and I loved seeing her be a little vulnerable with Patrick.  And Patrick was a bit of a man whore, but he was so good with Morgan.  He appreciated how strong she was, and helped her build on that.  I love the family dynamic in all of these books!!  


The Wright Secret is available now, along with the first 3 books in the series.  I highly recommend them all, however this one can be read as a stand alone.
