The Truth About Us (The Truth Duet book 2)

by Aly Martinez

The first book in this series almost killed me, and I couldn't wait for Book .

Synopsis:

After witnessing my husband’s murder, I didn’t have much of a heart left to offer a man. 

But Penn took it all. 

Every jagged shard. 

Every broken bit.

Even the dirty and twisted pieces that I wish never existed. 

Lie: I didn’t need him to save me.

Lie: I knew exactly who he was.

Lie: Losing him wouldn’t destroy me.

But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.

Book 1 in this duet had all kinds of twists and turns, and ended on a crazy cliffhanger  I loved it, but the end almost killed me!  This book thankfully answers all the questions left open in book 1!  I adored the characters in this book.  I loved all the twists and turns and craziness.  This also left us a little tidbit from the next series and I can't wait.  Aly writes amazing heartbreaking stories that never disappoint.  She is definitely one of my go to authors. 

Both books are available now, so if you were waiting for Book 2 to come out before you dive into Book 1, you can start now!

Tjhe Truth About Us

Dirty Headlines

By LJ Shen

Lj Shen writes such great characters that you love to hate!  And this one was no different!!!

Synopsis:

Célian Laurent.
Manhattan royalty.
Notorious playboy.
Heir to a media empire.
...And my new boss.
I could have impressed him, if not for last month's unforgettable one-night stand.
I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory--namely, his wallet.
Now he's staring me down like I'm the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I'm supposed to take it.
But the thing about being Judith "Jude" Humphry is I have nothing to lose.
Brooklyn girl.
Infamously quirky.
Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.
When he looks at me from across the room, I see the glint in his eyes, and that makes us rivals.
He knows it.
So do I.
Every day in the newsroom is a battle.
Every night in his bed, war.

But it's my heart at stake, and I fear I'll be raising the white flag.

This is a great enemies to lovers story.  Shen has always written vgreat assholes, and Celian is no exception.  This story is sexy and a little heartbreaking.  I loved Jude right from the start.  She was sassy and smart, and a little quirky.  Celian is an asshole, but eventually you fall in love with him.  I loved this story!!

Dirty Headlines is available now, and is free on Kindle Unlimited.

The Perfect Duet

 by Meghan Quinn

This is the follow up to the Blue Line Duet, but it can be read as a stand alone, but you will be missing some of the story.  This is Colby's story, and we met him, and loved him in The Blue Line Duet.  

Synopsis:

For better or for worse,'til death do us part . . .

The better captured me; she's who stole my heart.
And made me realize I couldn’t live without this woman.
The worse of her took my breath away--kicked me when I was down and twisted me into a million knots.

When I first met her, I thought she was someone I would never see again.
The second time I ran into her, it was a random coincidence.
The third?
I didn’t know it at the time, but she was the girl I was going to marry.

But life isn’t always perfect. You have to take the better and the worse--even if it means giving her up, having her slip between your fingers, and letting her walk away.

I’m getting married.

This is forever, 'til death do us part.

We met Colby and Ryan in the Blue Line Duet and I loved them.  Colby got his heart broken and this is his happily ever after.  Meghan Quinn has a way of breaking my heart, and then putting it all back together.  Colby is super sexy and broody, and sweet.  I felt like he came into himself and I adored him.  Ryan broke my heart, and also cracked me up.  I loved her, and wanted to hug her!  Her story killed me!  

So when you get the end of book 1 and you want to kill the author, have faith!!  It's quite the journey, but I think will be glad you took it. 

The good news is, both books are available NOW!!!  So grab them and devour them, and they are both available on Kindle Unlimited!

The Truth About Lies (The Truth Duet, book )

By Aly Martinez

I love Aly Martinez and couldn't wait for this duet, even though I knew it would be heartbreaking, and I was right!!!

Synopsis:

Truth: From over a thousand miles away, I watched on the screen of my phone as two men murdered my wife. And I was helpless to save her.

Consumed by hate and rage, I spent four years running from my memories. 

Until a shattered woman gave me a reason to stop.

Cora lived in a nightmare, but through sheer force of will, she’d turned it into something beautiful. She had a smile that could pierce the darkest soul. And with one glance, she shredded mine. 

Lie: I was only there for a fresh start.

Lie: I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

Lie: There was nothing I could do to save her, either.

But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe. 

This book was crazy!  It has amazing characters and so many twists and turns.  I had no idea where it was going.  Cora was such a strong character, and her story broke my heart.  And Penn was such and anomaly, I knew there was more to him, and his story was equally as heartbreaking.  The end of this book is crazy, and is a crazy cliffhanger.  But don't worry, because book 2 comes out on September 13, so not too long to wait.  I can't wait for the conclusion.  

Book 1 is live and available now, and Book 2 is available for pre order!!

The Upside of Falling 

by Meghan Quinn

This is the first book in a duet by Meghan Quinn.  I adore Meghan Quinn and loved this book.  

Synopsis:

Tucked away at the base of the Rocky Mountains lived a little boy with one singular dream: leave this broken and battered home and become someone.
Be somebody’s hero.
That boy was me—Colby Brooks. Except I’m not that same little boy anymore.
My dreams might still be the same, but my reality isn’t.
I’m smarter. Stronger. A man.
And I learned a long damn time ago, the only way to achieve my dreams was to avoid distractions—at any cost.
Focus. Resolve. Determination. 
But all it took was one single night. One night and my entire life…changed.
One night had me colliding head first with the biggest distraction of my life; Rory Oaks.
Smart. Charming. Beautiful.
Rory changed everything.
Quickly, my one-track mind started to bend.
Each kiss faded decade-long dreams.
And with one single incident, I fly off course.

I loved Colby and Rory.  Colby was strong and focused, but also broody and sexy.  His background was heartbreaking and so sad.  And Rory was sassy and determined, and also so sweet and dedicated to her family.  Both have crazy situations in there lives that make everything harder.  This is Book 1 in the duet so the end is a killer!  But the new one comes out 7/5 so not too long to wait.  But if you can't handle a cliffhanger, definitely wait a couple weeks, I am stressed!!  

This is a sweet and sexy story and I loved it!  It is live now and book 2 comes out soon!! And it's free with Kindle Unlimited

Unconscious Hearts 

By Harper Sloan

I am a huge fan of Harper Sloan's books, so I was super excited to get into this one.  And it didn't disappoint.  

Synopsis:

Ari Daniels didn’t count on her whole world tumbling down around her in a mess of shredded promises, broken love, and unbelievable heartbreak. Alone and stricken with grief, she shouldered the blame and eventually closed her heart off, refusing to open it for another. After all, anytime she tried, guilt and regret were waiting in the wings to remind her how painful it was.

A bet and one steamy night with a stranger force Ari to confront all she’s been hiding behind. She tries to move on, but he refuses to stand down, wanting what she is terrified to give—herself. This man may very well destroy her in the end, especially when it’s clear he has his own demons.

What happens when two broken souls come together, finally allowing themselves to believe in the beauty of love … only to have to fight harder than ever to keep it? 

If you are a fan of Harper Sloan's Corp Security series, then you will love this book.  This book has great alpha males, is super sexy, and has all kinds of twists and turns.  I loved Ari from the start, she was strong, but still vulnerable.  We know from the beginning that there is more to her story, but I was shocked when I learned all of it!  And Thorn was sexy and super alpha, with a tragic past of his own.  I loved him immediately.

This is the first in a new series, and I can't wait to see what's next!  This is live and available now!

One Baby Daddy

by Meghan Quinn

Synopsis:

"What are you doing now that your team is out of the running for the Stanley Cup?"

Forget.

I need to forget. I need an escape.

Only one person isn't falling for my reputation as the NHL's Golden Boy; she captured my attention the minute she called me out for snooping through my best friend's house. She didn't want to hear my reason--she only wanted to playfully give me a hard time.

Adalyn is bold, sassy--and the perfect escape.

She's everywhere. In town and in my dreams, and suddenly I need to spend every waking moment with her.

And I do, making this summer the best off-season I've ever had.

But in the midst of getting lost in Adalyn, what I don't expect is to get her pregnant.

And what I definitely don't expect is having to fight for her affection.

I was sucked into this book from page1!!  We met Hayden and Adalyn in previous books, but this can be read as a stand alone.  Hayden is a sexy hockey player, who is so sweet!!  I fell in love with him immediately.  And Adalyn is sassy, and strong and hilarious.  This story has it all, it is sexy and sweet, also funny and heartbreaking.  With a ton of angst.  A lot happens in this story, and some crazy twists and turns as well.  I loved this book and highly recommend it.  

This book is live and available now, and is free in KU!!
