It was never going to work.
Colby loves her life as a travel food blogger, even if her best friend's snobby brother thinks it's a copout compared to real-life careers. But then a horrifying accident takes the two most important people in their lives away, leaving her and Kip navigating the tumultuous new world of raising a couple of preschoolers while trying to survive each other's eccentricities.
He's a staid, overcritical accountant, and she's a bright ray of chaotic color in their gray world. They have nothing in common except grief and a growing attraction neither can ignore. Sometimes it takes overwhelming loss to realize the importance of grasping what's right in front of you.
One thing I had already learned was that you had to hold on to the moments—even the ones that drove you crazy. Because you never knew how long you had to enjoy them. The Godparent Trap-Rachel Van Dyken

This debut author came out with a strong storyline and compelling characters. Rogue is a nasty, villainous guy, but his obsession with Bellamy slowly brings out a sweet, caring personality under all those layers. Bellamy is thrilled to finish her high school career with a scholarship to a posh private school in Switzerland. That is, until her terrifying run-in with the king of the Royal Academy, and he swears to ruin her. Too bad Rogue Royal doesn’t realize she isn’t a quitter. There are a few punctuation errors, but overall, this is a good read. I’m looking forward to book two in the series!...more

This writer’s style is reminiscent of Tijan, which makes this a hard review for me. While the premise of two deeply damaged, closed off characters who find their way through the darkness with love and trust was a pleasure to read unfortunately there were a lot of inconsistencies that pulled me away from the storyline. Still, a good read. I love heroes who fall first and will do anything to protect their love/obsession. ...more
I really enjoyed reading about this charming high school romance. Berlin is a confident girl starting at a new school for her final Fun, sassy, drama!
I really enjoyed reading about this charming high school romance. Berlin is a confident girl starting at a new school for her final year—no pressure at all!
Cullen proudly leads the New Zealand Black Diamonds football team, aiming for an exciting and successful year that will help launch his professional career in the sport he’s passionate about. He’s confident around girls, until he meets the new girl—an intriguing, confident beauty who initially seems a bit arrogant but clearly sparks his interest, even as he tries to keep his distance. The connection between them is undeniable and full of energy, sparking plenty of dramatic moments along the way that build up to an exciting, heartfelt ending.
Somewhere along the way we’ve managed to get lost in translation. Maybe, just fucking maybe it’s because those bullshit fronts are only what we let everyone see, and in reality, there’s a big wide world outside of high school and its stupid social rules. She’s a hell of a lot more than some sassy chick who rocks the boat every chance she gets, and there’s more to me than throwing a ball. The King of Black Diamonds-Nicole S. Goodin

You’re a poison. And I’m addicted. No Good-Stevie J. Cole
Packed with lively, playful banter and incredibly attractive characters, this series feels like a modern, exciting take on The Outsiders.

Sniper Nell Gallows is the only survivor of an elite dark forces squad, Riøt, after a devastating attack two years ago. Now, she’s being considered thSniper Nell Gallows is the only survivor of an elite dark forces squad, Riøt, after a devastating attack two years ago. Now, she’s being considered the top candidate for the special ops team: Malum. Malum blames their only casualty from the Patagonia mission on the Riøt squad, and Nell blames Malum for the loss of her sergeant and lover.
On a plane to California, heading toward what seems like a certain death sentence, Nell meets two handsome twins, one broody and the other flirty. An invitation to a dance club leads to a one-night stand with Mr. Tall, Dark, and Mysterious. She soon realizes, too late, that the mysterious, dark man she thought was just a fling isn’t just her new teammate—he’s also the one she fears meeting the most—her immediate superior and the untouchable devil in the field, Bones.
He’s a force of nature—tough, relentless, and unforgiving. Most of all, he despises her, and he makes sure she knows it. Yet, despite everything, she can’t bring herself to leave his side when their mission goes wrong and he can’t reach the evacuation point.
There are forces at work to destroy the Malum, specifically Bones, and Nell isn't sure who she can trust, if she can survive the hateful man she's attracted to more each day.
I had a feeling the ending was going to go sideways, and it did. Talk about messed up relationships, lol.
Entertaining read. I'm going to explore more of this author's work....more
