<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong></h2>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
He finally caught sight of Moira again and followed. If she was working, she had an odd way of doing her job. She stopped to pet every dog that walked in her path. By the time he caught up with her, she was crouched on the ground nose to nose with a beast of an animal. The dog looked big enough that it could easily maul her, but she cooed and giggled when the thing licked her face.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jimmy tucked his hands in his pockets and watched for a minute. Moira interacted with the dog like she’d found a long lost best friend. She laughed and played and looked completely out of place with all of the other women. She sighed and stood, taking a moment to brush dog hair off her dress.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the dog walker moved on, he sidled up next to Moira and tried to hold on to his anger. If he let the gooey look on her face affect him, he’d be useless. “We need to talk.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She looked up at him, using one hand to shield her eyes from the setting sun. “I thought we already did. Do you want to set up that interview now?” Her eyes held an evil glimmer, as if she knew what he’d said to Stan about the interview.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He grabbed her elbow and guided her away from the crowd, around the back of the tent that held the auction items. Fighting to keep his voice low, he said, “Why the hell would you tell everyone I have a wife?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She eased her arm from his grasp and narrowed her eyes. He’d expected the sweet fuck-you smile she liked to throw out when she caused trouble. “You have no idea who you’re hanging out with, but I do. Those four are all married. They bring their wives to every function and event. Or I should say their wives bring them. They stand around and ogle every female in sight.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
“Yeah, I got that.”<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The thing is, if you want in, the wives are going to have to approve. The wives like Mayor Park since he’s such a good wholesome guy, so they’ll be inclined to accept you, but in their world, having a wife makes you safer.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Safer?”</div>
<br />
“Less likely to bring a bunch of single women around, making it easier for their husbands to cheat.”<br />
<br />
“They’re surrounded by women at these events.”<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I didn’t say it made sense. Their friendship extends beyond attending fund-raisers. The wives are here to keep an eye on them, but they don’t follow them everywhere. At least I don’t think they do.” She shifted so his shadow blocked the sun and looked up at his face. “I’m not trying to screw things up for you. Trust me. I understand these people.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He believed her, but it didn’t make the truth any easier. “Where the hell am I supposed to get a wife?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She huffed out a breath. “Am I supposed to do everything for you?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her irritation wouldn’t last. She had a hot temper, but once it blew, she went back to being sunny Moira. And she wasn’t even pissed right now, so when she turned to walk away, he followed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He walked beside her, as if they were there together, which he knew he shouldn’t, but since she’d talked about interviewing him, he figured he could get away with it. She waved to various people and stopped to chat with others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With Moira, though, it wasn’t bullshit small talk. She asked real questions. She knew details about people’s lives, and they respected her for it. They opened up around her, which would be a huge asset for her job. An asset he’d have to avoid.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When they were walking a stretch alone, he asked, “Why doesn’t it bother you?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The way Stan Decker talks about you.” Remembering the comments made him angry again. “I know you heard him, but you acted like it was nothing.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She shrugged. “Because it was nothing.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He stopped and touched her arm to halt her. “That’s not true. No one should talk to you like that.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He wasn’t talking to me. It’s not his fault I have excellent hearing.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jimmy thought back. In truth, Stan had been respectful, at least in his words while talking to Moira. “He stares at your chest.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She laughed so hard her shoulders shook. “Really?” She spread her hands in front of her chest. “He’s far from the only man to do that. It happens so often, it doesn’t faze me anymore.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jimmy made a point of looking into her bright blue eyes. No sign of anger or hurt. It would make him nuts if he saw men staring at his woman’s chest instead of her face.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Moira’s not mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Doesn’t make it right.”</div>
</div>

A scraping of a chair, a tray full of food and I glance over with my practiced smile in welcome. It’s not Camila, Evangeline, or anyone else from the group. It’s green eyes, red hair, a familiar mischievous smile that used to be reserved only for me, and my blood pounds with excitement as if someone lit a sparkler in my chest. Then I frown because I’m not supposed to feel this way. Not with him. Not with anyone.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
Jesse Lachlin winks at me as he sits across from me like no time has passed from when we climbed trees together. “What’s up, Tink?”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
Another thrill runs through me but then my muscles tighten. Stupid, antiquated reaction belonging to a dead past. “What are you doing here?”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
Jesse pops a fry into his mouth, chews, then picks up another as if he has no intention of answering. I scan the cafeteria. Several people are watching us, curious as to why Jesse Lachlin is sitting with me, or is event at lunch, or even at school.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
From the lunch line, Camila’s and Evangeline’s eyes are bugging out of their heads.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
<i style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">What is going on?</i> Camila mouths.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
I raise my eyebrows to inform her I have no idea. Jesse digs into his corn with his fork and that’s crossing a line. “Maybe you didn’t hear me, but I asked what you’re doing here.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
He lifts his eyes to meet mine and there’s a glimmer in them that causes my lips to flatten. Fantastic. He’s here to make my life a living hell.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“It seems obvious,” he says.</div>

If he remembers anything about me, he should recall I was never known for my patience and that he should be speaking, and speaking soon. “Just answer the question.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“I’m eating lunch.”</div>

I honest to God groan in frustration. “There’s no room at the inn.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
He surveys the table, takes in the empty seats, my books, and then gives me a good look. A slow look. As if he’s trying to memorize every inch he’s drinking in. My cheeks redden because that somehow feels a little too intimate for lunch. Feels a little too intimate for someone I’m no longer friends with. It feels too intimate if we <i style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">were</i>friends.</div>

<div class="intro">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next novel of psychological suspense and obsession from the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us.
Seeking women ages 18–32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed.
When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr. Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money, and leave.
<b>Question #1:</b> Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt?
But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr. Shields may know what she’s thinking… and what she’s hiding.
<b>Question #2: </b>Have you ever deeply hurt someone you care about?
As Jess’s paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what in her life is real, and what is one of Dr. Shields’ manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.
<b>Question #3:</b> Should a punishment always fit the crime?
From the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us comes an electrifying new novel about doubt, passion, and just how much you can trust someone.</div>

This book was a huge surprise for me - once I started, I could barely put it down, I was thoroughly enthralled.<br />
<br />
I always love reading unreliable narrators, and that's exactly what we get here, and not just one, but two. Most of the time, I didn't know who I liked or trusted out of either of the narrators, if any.<br />
<br />
There were some great surprises sprinkled throughout the book that I wasn't expecting, including the ending. I have to admit, I did not love the ending - it seemed a bit too neat and tidy for me, although I find it doesn't interfere too much with my overall impression of the book. I still would rank this among the better suspense books I've read, and am pleased to rate it 4.5 stars.<br />
<br />
<b>My rating: 4. 5 stars</b><br />

<strong>Excerpt:</strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>SCARLETT</strong>
I’m defying my parents by attending a funeral. Reckless and adventurous teenage behavior, I know. Most seventeen-year-olds lie to their parents so they can go on a date with a forbidden boy or attend a party where there will be questionable behavior. Me? I’m outright lying to my dad, and it’s because Jesse Lachlin’s grandmother died. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The entire way here I’ve questioned my sanity, but I don’t know how I’d live with myself if I stayed home. Jesse Lachlin used to be my childhood best friend. We were inseparable. We had the type of friendship people strive to have, and then, a few years ago, he cut me so deeply that I still bleed. But ten-year-old me would have never abandoned a hurting Jesse. So today I’m not only honoring the memory of Jesse’s grandmother, but also the memory of our dead friendship. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On my way to the funeral, the high grass of the field swats at my legs, but I don’t mind the sting. I love walking barefoot in grass, I love the smell of the earth and I love that brief feeling of freedom open spaces can provide. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s the dog days of August. The type of hot that starts when the sun rises and makes you sweat through your clothes within minutes. While my skin and palms are on fire, the pads of my feet are cool against the dirt. The heat is unwelcome, but the sky is deep blue and the sun is bright, and for that, I can be grateful. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Walking out of the field, I stop short of crossing the one-lane road to slip on the flats that dangle from my fingertips. My mother would be mortified if she knew I was entering a church in a cotton daisy-print sundress. It’s not one of the dresses with stiff fabric and impossible back zippers she would have picked for me at an overpriced department store. It’s the type that’s machine-washable and breathable. The type of dress Jesse’s grandmother would have given her stamp of approval. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can practically hear my mother heavily sigh and mumble my name, Scarlett, as if it were her personal, private curse word. Mom believes there’s a certain way to dress and behave, and I’m breaking all sorts of her rules today. Watch out, world. I’m officially rebellious.
I smile to myself because I’m the opposite of rebellious. For the last few years, I’ve followed every rule. I’m the teacher’s pet and the girl with straight <em>A’</em>s. I’m the poster child of perfection, and have earned every snarky ice princess comment Jesse’s friends whisper about me in the school hallways because he and I no longer speak. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are only six cars in the parking lot of the white church, and that makes me frown. I thought more people would have wanted to attend. Jesse’s mud-covered pickup is there, and so is an unnaturally clean black Mercedes that belongs to his uncle. This ought to be interesting. Jesse and his uncle have a mutual hate for each other that runs deeper than any root of any tree. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Movement to my right and I slowly turn my head. Shivers run down my spine at the sight of Glory Gardner. Even though I’m seventeen and too old for ghost stories, I still can’t shake the ones regarding this woman. Girls would whisper over lunch boxes that Glory was a witch. As I grew older, I understood that witch meant con artist. She claims she can read palms, tarot cards and “sees” spirits from beyond the dead. All for a glorious fee. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She’s a beautiful woman—long dirty blond hair that’s untamed, even in a bun, and she has an eclectic taste in clothing. Today she wears a white peasant shirt and a flowing skirt made of material that shimmers in the sun. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Glory watches me like I watch her, with morbid curiosity. I knew her as a child, back when Jesse and I ran wild in the fields near her home, but we haven’t talked in years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She stands under the shade of a towering weeping willow. There are lots of those trees around here. Mom says it’s because there is too much water in the ground. I say it’s because the people in this town have cried too many tears. Mom doesn’t like my answer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I tilt my head toward the church, an unspoken question if Glory will be joining me. She shakes her head no. I’m not shocked. According to rumors, Glory will go up in flames if she enters the house of God. But who knows? Maybe I will, too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The church is one of those picturesque, historical, one-room school buildings squeezed between a cornfield on one side and a hay field on the other. A huge steeple with a bell attempts to reach the heavens, but like anything created by a human, it falls tragically short. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The foreboding wooden door makes no noise as I open it, and I’m able to slip in without a huge, squeaking announcement. Orange light filters in through the dark stained glass windows, and its struggling beams reveal millions of dancing particles of dust. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the altar, there’s no casket, but there is an urn. My heart dips—Suzanne is dead. I used to wish she were my grandmother, and many times, she treated me as if I belonged to her. Suzanne was the epitome of love, and the world feels colder now that she’s gone. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Choosing a spot in the back, I drop into a pew, and as I scan the church my stomach churns. How is it possible that this place is so barren? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Besides the Funeral Brigade, or the FB, as I like to refer to them, there aren’t many people here. The FB are the older group of woman who attend every funeral in our small town even if they didn’t know the person. Attending funerals isn’t my idea of fun, but who am I to judge? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The FB sit directly behind the one person the town believes to be the lone sane member of the Lachlin family, probably because he isn’t blood related—Jesse’s uncle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the left side of the church is Jesse. Only Jesse. And that causes a painful pang in my chest. Where are his stinking friends? The anarchists in training who follow Jesse wherever he goes? Where is the rest of the town? Yes, Suzanne was polarizing, but still, where is any respect? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quietly, so I don’t draw attention to myself, I slip from the right set of pews to the left. Someone should be on Jesse’s side, and it’s sad it has to be me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A door at the front of the church opens, and the pastor walks out from the addition the church build on as a small office ten years ago. I would have thought any pastor assigned to this place would be as ancient as this church. Sort of like an Indiana Jones Knights Templar scenario where he lives forever as long as he stays inside. But no, he’s the youngest pastor from the main, newer church in town. His name is Pastor Hughes, and he’s a thirty-something black man with a fit build who is just cute enough that he should be starring in a movie. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pastor looks up, and he flinches as if startled. I peek over my shoulder then sigh. Clearly, he’s surprised to see me. Flipping fantastic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His reaction, and the fact he won’t stop staring, causes every person to turn their heads. Lovely. I’ve had dreams like this where I enter a room and become the center of attention. Only in my dreams it’s at school, it’s my classmates and I’m naked, but still, this is disconcerting. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eventually, the FB and Jesse’s uncle return their attention to the front, but Jesse doesn’t. He rests his arm on the back of the pew, and it’s hard to ignore that he’s made me his sole focus, but I do my best to act as if I don’t notice. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To help, I concentrate on what my mom taught me as a child—to make sure the skirt of my dress is tucked appropriately so that my thighs don’t show. I then fold my hands in my lap and straighten to a book-on-head posture. I can be the ice princess people claim me to be. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Five pews separate me and Jesse, and it’s not nearly enough. My cheeks burn under his continued inspection. Jesse has done this a handful of times since our freshman year. Glance at me as if I’m someone worth looking at, someone worth laughing with a little too loud and smiling with a little too much. Then he remembers who I am and snaps his gaze to someone else. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But he’s not looking away now. </div>

<strong> </strong>A sexy bartender stirs up a daily lesson plan for an adventurous teacher...
When she discovers her ex-husband is about to be a father, Quinn Adams is on a mission. Determined to get pregnant without the commitment of a man, Quinn sets out for her own adventure. But everyone seems to think she need to focus on herself first. With a list of challenges compiled but her sister and their friend, Quinn embarks on some life-altering fun.
Her first challenge is to go on five dates within two weeks. After a few disastrous attempts, Quinn’s ready to give up—until sexy bartender Ryan O’Leary offers his assistance. Ryan is the go-to person for everyone in his large family, so it’s natural for him to want to help Quinn. However, as they get to know each other better, friendship with Quinn isn’t enough for him. Now, it’s time for him to show her how serious the Irish can be. Will the bartender quench Quinn’s thirst by mixing up more than she ever imagined?

<h2>
<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong></h2>
<div>
Quinn stood outside her loft, wishing that she’d been smart enough to meet this guy at the restaurant, if that’s what you could call it. It had barely been a step up from fast food. Now he stood in front of her, still talking about himself, when all she wanted to do was curl up on the couch with a good book. This is what she got for picking a guy based on his online profile. Next time she’d make sure she had at least a phone conversation before making a date.<br />
<br />
Jeff suddenly stopped his rambling and asked, “So, I think we really hit it off tonight, right?”<br />
<br />
She stared blankly at him. Lying had never come easy to her. “I had a pretty good time.”<br />
<br />
He stroked her arm, and she locked her knees to stop herself from pulling away. He wasn’t a bad guy. He didn’t give her the creeps. Jeff was even kind of good-looking: tall with dark hair and brown eyes, a little on the skinny side. But something turned her completely off.<br />
<br />
When his hand stopped stroking her arm and his fingers interlocked with hers, the sweatiness of his palm was apparent. Eww. How was she supposed to disengage without seeming like a bitch?<br />
<br />
“I’d like to see you again.”<br />
<br />
“Maybe. Why don’t you send me an e-mail and we can set something up?”<br />
<br />
“Can I have your number?”<br />
<br />
She shifted slightly to the left, nearer to the door. “I don’t like to give out my number to too many people. This was just our first date and all.”<br />
<br />
“But definitely not our last.” He leaned in to kiss her.<br />
<br />
She saw it coming, thought she’d get a little peck on the cheek, but his mouth crashed into hers. When she didn’t immediately open her lips, his tongue poked and prodded. It was slimy and gross. When she tried to step back, he pulled her closer. The quick move startled her and in her shock, she inadvertently opened her mouth.<br />
<br />
That was one hell of a mistake. He jabbed his tongue so far into her mouth, it was like he wanted to inspect her molars. And he was a sloppy kisser too. Saliva everywhere.<br />
<br />
Her stomach started to churn just as he pulled away. “How about we take this upstairs?”<br />
<br />
Not in this lifetime. “I don’t sleep with guys on the first date.”<br />
<br />
“There’s a lot of territory between a kiss at the door and sleeping together.” He waggled his eyebrows at her.<br />
<br />
Like she wanted to dry-hump that? “No, thanks. I should be getting in. It’s late and I have work tomorrow.”<br />
<br />
“Oh, okay.” He really sounded disappointed. “Maybe we can get together this weekend.”<br />
<br />
She slid toward the door, hoping he’d get the hint and not try to swoop in for another kiss. “I’ll be pretty busy this weekend. End of the school year stuff. But send me an e-mail. Good night.”<br />
<br />
She didn’t wait for him to respond. She practically ran for the door. After scrubbing her mouth twice and then throwing her toothbrush in the trash, she called Indy. She plopped on the couch and put her feet up on the table. While Indy’s phone rang, she stared at the green nail polish on her toes. What a waste of a perfectly good pedicure.<br />

<blockquote>
<div class="intro">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There’s no playing it safe in love or baseball in this sparkling debut, perfect for fans of Morgan Matson and Kasie West.
Marnie has never had a hard time fitting in with the guys. It would take a lot more than their goofy antics to keep her from joining them at the neighborhood sandlot to do what she loves best: play ball.
An added perk of hanging out at the sandlot? Spending time with Cody Kinski, their high school’s star pitcher and Marnie’s best friend. Sure, he can be stubborn and annoying. He also knows how to make her laugh and respects her skills on the mound. And when he gets nailed in the arm by a bone-fracturing pitch, Marnie becomes the team’s best chance at making it to the playoffs. Except no one told the guys they’re supposed to be on her side.
With her own team against her, Marnie begins questioning her abilities. And when fate throws her a curveball, can she play without losing the game, Cody, and her belief in herself?

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This was such a cute book! If you like your contemporary YA on the sweet and light side, with a fun cast of characters and an underdog MC, "Out of Left Field" is a great choice for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So here are a few of the things that stood out for me with this book:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I really liked how Marnie and her friend Sara hung out with the boys and weren't super girly. It reminded me of the group of guys I hung out with in high school - we had so much fun! We were always going swimming or cliff jumping at a lake, or 4x4ing through the mud, or rock climbing without any gear (stupid, yes, but it was the 90's and we didn't know any better!) Even going to Subway or the movies was an adventure with those guys, and reading "Out of Left Field" brought out some of that nostalgia.</li>
<li>I liked that Colby and the baseball coach had Marnie's back, even when her teammates didn't accept her and she doubted herself and her abilities.</li>
<li>There were some good platonic relationships represented here, which I haven't seen often in YA contemporary romance novels. I especially enjoyed the developing friendship between Marnie and one of her biggest rivals!</li>
<li>I also appreciated the relationships Marnie had with the members of her family. There were a few warm and fuzzy moments between Marnie and her mom, for example, that did their job tugging on my heartstrings.</li>
</ul>
<div>
How about the things I didn't love?</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>The romance was kind of...meh. I usually love the best-friends-to-more trope, but in this case, the first 10 or 11 years of Marnie and Colby's friendship happened off-page, so there was none of that usual slow burn development I love. Basically, Marnie tells us in Chapter One that she and Colby have been best friends for x number of years, but we're not given much from those years. Maybe a couple of anecdotes here and there, but as far as show and tell, this book was very skewed towards telling with minimal showing. </li>
<li>I thought the coach's language could have been toned down a bit. I thought his use of profanity was unwarranted and unprofessional. I know I sound like a total mom here, but honestly, if a coach was speaking like that around my kids, he wouldn't be coaching much longer, if you know what I mean.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Overall, I enjoyed my time with "Out of Left Field". For a debut, it was really well done, and I think that Kris Hui Lee is a name to watch for in the future of Contemporary YA. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>My rating: 3 stars</b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Welcome to the Blog Tour for "Royally Yours" by Emma Chase. I'm so excited to be chosen to review this highly anticipated title, so make sure you read on to see my thoughts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-40460" src="http://www.inkslingerpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Royally-Yours-3D-book-214x300.png" height="300" width="214" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Princess Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook had an unusual childhood. She was raised to be a Queen—the first Queen of Wessco. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s a big deal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When she’s crowned at just nineteen, the beautiful young monarch is prepared to rule. She’s charming, clever, confident and cunning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What she isn’t…is married. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s her advising council’s first priority. It’s what Parliament is demanding, and what her people want. Lenora has no desire to tie herself to a man—particularly one who only wants her for her crown. But compromises must be made and royals must do their duty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even Queens. Especially them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
** Years ago, Edward Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke, walked away from his title and country. Now he’s an adventurer—climbing mountains, exploring jungles, going wherever he wants, when he wants—until family devotion brings him home. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And a sacred promise keeps him there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To Edward, the haughty, guarded little Queen is intriguing, infuriating…and utterly captivating. Wanting her just might drive him mad—or become his greatest adventure. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
** Within the cold, stone walls of the royal palace—mistrust threatens, wills clash, and an undeniable, passionate love will change the future of the monarchy forever. Every dynasty has a beginning. Every legend starts with a story. This is theirs.</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was pretty excited to receive an early copy of "Royally Yours" for this blog tour! I'd already read the first two books in the Royally series, and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them, especially the first title.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the strengths of this series are the characters - they are all so unique and interesting. Lenora, or "Lenny", as Edward likes to call her, has never led a normal life. I imagine her being modeled after Queen Elizabeth II, bred and trained since birth to lead a country. She's serious, intelligent, and responsible. She's also very lonely. When we first meet her, she doesn't really have any friends, and even her sister is kept somewhat at arms length. She ends up making friends with Thomas, a newly minted Duke, and together they unite to conquer the old boys' club of Wessco, or in other words, do a bunch of political stuff like change laws and make some new ones. It doesn't really matter a whole lot, except for the fact that Lenora and Thomas become very close. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So where does Edward come in? Well, he's Thomas's brother and he's been away for many years, exploring the world. One of Thomas and Lenora's favourite things to do is sit together and read Edward's letters, so when Edward finally returns to Wessco, Lenora feels like she already knows him, and she definitely has a bit of a crush on him! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing I didn't like was how long it took for Lenora and Edward to actually come face to face: they don't even meet until a third of the way through the book! With only two thirds of a book left to develop a complicated relationship, their romance felt a bit rushed, in my opinion. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wasn't sure what to expect from "Royally Yours": I had really enjoyed "Royally Screwed", but "Royally Matched" was not as much fun. In the end, I'd rank "Royally Yours" somewhere in the middle of the two. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>My rating: 3.5 stars</b></div>

<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-41671" src="http://www.inkslingerpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/RoyallyYours-availnowbanner-1024x390.jpg" height="243" width="640" />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Princess Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook had an unusual childhood. She was raised to be a Queen—the first Queen of Wessco. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s a big deal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When she’s crowned at just nineteen, the beautiful young monarch is prepared to rule. She’s charming, clever, confident and cunning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What she isn’t…is married. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s her advising council’s first priority. It’s what Parliament is demanding, and what her people want.
Lenora has no desire to tie herself to a man—particularly one who only wants her for her crown. But compromises must be made and royals must do their duty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even Queens. Especially them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
**
Years ago, Edward Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke, walked away from his title and country. Now he’s an adventurer—climbing mountains, exploring jungles, going wherever he wants, when he wants—until family devotion brings him home. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And a sacred promise keeps him there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To Edward, the haughty, guarded little Queen is intriguing, infuriating…and utterly captivating. Wanting her just might drive him mad—or become his greatest adventure. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
**
Within the cold, stone walls of the royal palace—mistrust threatens, wills clash, and an undeniable, passionate love will change the future of the monarchy forever.
Every dynasty has a beginning. Every legend starts with a story.
This is theirs.

<strong>About TEMPTING BROOKE:</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>From <em>New York Times</em> and<em> USA Today</em> bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a new story in her Big Sky series…</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Brooke’s Blooms has taken Cunningham Falls by surprise. The beautiful, innovative flower shop is trendy, with not only gorgeous flower arrangements, but also fun gifts for any occasion. This store is Brooke Henderson’s deepest joy, and it means everything to her, which shows in how completely she and her little shop have been embraced by the small community of Cunningham Falls.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
So, when her landlord dies and Brody Chabot saunters through her door, announcing that the building has been sold, and will soon be demolished, Brooke knows that she’s in for the fight of her life. But she hasn’t gotten this far by sitting back and quietly doing what she’s told. Hustle is Brooke’s middle name, and she has no intention of losing this fight, no matter how tempting Brody’s smile — and body — is.</h3>

I'm not normally a novella reader, but I've really been enjoying my time spent with the novellas I've read from the "1001 Dark Nights" compilation. This title from Kristen Proby, "Tempting Brooke", introduced me to her "Big Sky" series, which is one I'll be sure to look into at a later date. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I loved that Brody and Brooke had a bit of a complicated history, being that they were best friends for a time while they were kids. Brody was going through a dark time, and he felt he couldn't open up to anyone, even his best friend. At one point, Brody walked away completely from this friendship, and Brooke was left wondering what happened. She was understandably very hurt!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"Tempting Brooke" finds Brody coming back to town for the first time since he left right after graduation. He's now a successful engineer, but he has no inclination of staying in Cunningham Falls - once he offloads the building he inherited, he's planning on heading back to San Francisco without a backward glance. Too bad his plan is about to be foiled by Brooke, who wants to show Brody that he should give Cunningham Falls, and their relationship, a second chance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I loved the chemistry between Brooke and Brody, and I loved the setting of this quaint little town. That said, I felt there could have been a bit more development all around. I was left wanting more detail, and I wished that things weren't wrapped up quite so tidily. </div>

<b>Synopsis:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A love story will be rewritten in this heartfelt romance from <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Jennifer Probst.</b>
Ophelia Bishop was a lovestruck teenage girl when she and Kyle Kimpton chased their dreams to Hollywood. Kyle’s dreams came true. Ophelia’s did not. When Kyle chose his career over their relationship, Ophelia returned home to rural New York to run the family’s B & B—wiser, and more guarded against foolish fantasies. Now Kyle has come crashing back into her life, and all her defenses are down.
Kyle can’t think of a better place to write his latest screenplay than his hometown. After all, that was where he met the heart of his inspiration—his first love. He knows the damage he’s caused
Ophelia, and he wants a chance to mend their relationship. If anyone can prove to Ophelia that happy ever afters aren’t only for the movies, it should be him.
As much as Ophelia’s changed, she still has feelings for Kyle. But her heart has been broken before, and she knows that Kyle could run back to Hollywood at any time. She gave up her dreams once, but maybe she can dare to change her own love story…one last time.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Once again, I jumped at the chance to be an early reader of a Jennifer Probst title, as she has quickly become one of my favourite authors. By now, I've come to expect certain things from Probst's books, including enjoyable and unique characters, realistic struggles, a fast-paced plot, and tons of steam and swoon. I think, for the most part, "A Brand New Ending" delivered what I was expecting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Starting with the characters, they were great, as anticipated. Kyle is not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve, which means he's pretty clear with Ophelia - he wants a second chance with her, and he's not giving up without giving it all he's got. Ophelia, understandably, is petrified that she is going to have her heart shattered again if she gives Kyle a second chance, but eventually he convinces her to give their relationship another shot. Hopefully, they won't mess things up again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also always enjoy how Probst is able to weave secondary storylines or characters into her novels. In this case, my heart was gradually won over by a geriatric rescue dog, and to a lesser extent, Kyle's dad. I even shed a few tears at the culmination of this book, to my surprise!</div>

As for the pacing, I feel that this is one area that could have been improved. It's possible that because there are several flashbacks from the present to the past, things felt sluggish. Usually, I love dual timelines in romance novels because they seem to add an element of suspense - what on <i>earth</i> happened to make these two so estranged, when they are so obviously <i>meant</i> for each other? - but in this case, I found myself constantly losing focus. I wanted things to move along more quickly, especially in the present.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Of course, just because "A Brand New Ending" wasn't my favourite Probst title, doesn't mean it's not good. I'm still glad I read it, and I'm sure most contemporary romance fans will agree. </div>

<strong>About TEMPTING BROOKE:</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>From <em>New York Times</em> and<em> USA Today</em> bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a new story in her Big Sky series…</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Brooke’s Blooms has taken Cunningham Falls by surprise. The beautiful, innovative flower shop is trendy, with not only gorgeous flower arrangements, but also fun gifts for any occasion. This store is Brooke Henderson’s deepest joy, and it means everything to her, which shows in how completely she and her little shop have been embraced by the small community of Cunningham Falls.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
So, when her landlord dies and Brody Chabot saunters through her door, announcing that the building has been sold, and will soon be demolished, Brooke knows that she’s in for the fight of her life. But she hasn’t gotten this far by sitting back and quietly doing what she’s told. Hustle is Brooke’s middle name, and she has no intention of losing this fight, no matter how tempting Brody’s smile — and body — is.</h3>

<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
The bell dings, and I reach for my small handbag and answer the door.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
Brody’s eyes start at my face and slowly meander down my body to my sandal-covered feet, and if I’m not mistaken, his jaw clenches.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
<em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">Just friends, Brooke.</em></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“Hey.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
I can’t help but take my own perusal of the man standing before me. Jesus in a basket, he fills out a suit nicely. His shoulders are broad, and his arms muscular.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
Yes, this does things to me.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“Can I come in?” he asks with a small smile on his lips.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“Of course.” I step back and he walks inside my small house.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“This is nice,” he says, but his eyes are still on me.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“Thanks. I’ve been here for a couple of years.” I glance around, wondering if Brody and I have the same tastes, and then I glance back to him and bust out laughing.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“What?” he asks.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“Turn around.” He complies, and I reach up to pull the tag that’s poked out of the neck of his jacket. His hair is soft against the back of my fingers, and I can’t help but wonder what it would feel like as I fist it while he does amazing, sexy things to me.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
I take a deep breath and hand it to him with a laugh. “Wear it every day, my ass.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
He tucks the tag in his pocket. “I didn’t bring a suit to Montana. I had to improvise.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
<em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">He bought it just for me.</em></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
And according to the tag, it wasn’t cheap.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
Now I feel bad. I shouldn’t have pushed the issue. He spent a bunch of money that he didn’t need to, all because I gave him a hard time.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“I thought we could eat at <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">Ciao </em>tonight,” he says as he leads me out of the house to his rented convertible. The sun broke out a couple of hours ago, and it’s the perfect temperature now. But I just did my hair.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
I think about asking him to put the top up, and then decide, <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">fuck it.</em></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
I reach into my handbag and pull out a hair tie, twist my hair on top of my head, and grin as I sit in the fun car.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“I could have put the top up.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“And that would have been a waste on a day like today,” I reply smoothly and have to physically restrain myself from reaching over to brush my fingertips through that soft hair at the nape of his neck.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
We drive through town in silence. Rather than park in front of the restaurant, he drives past, and I frown over at him.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“Having second thoughts?”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“No.” He sends me a smile. “Before we go in, I’d like to know why you got so quiet.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
I bite my lip and look out my window, then turn to him and say, “Did you buy that suit just for me?”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“Seems I do a lot of things for you lately,” he replies with a grin. “It’s not a big deal, Brooke.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“I’m sorry,” I reply. “I was just goofing around this afternoon. I didn’t mean for you to have to do all of this.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“All of what?”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“Buy that gorgeous suit, take me to dinner. I feel like I hijacked your day, and I feel bad.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
He pulls over, whips his seatbelt off, and turns to me.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: start;">
“Look at me.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: start;">
I comply. He drags his knuckle down my cheek again, and that’s all it takes to set my body on high alert.</div>

<b>Synopsis:</b></div>
<b>A love story will be rewritten in this heartfelt romance from <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Jennifer Probst.</b>
Ophelia Bishop was a lovestruck teenage girl when she and Kyle Kimpton chased their dreams to Hollywood. Kyle’s dreams came true. Ophelia’s did not. When Kyle chose his career over their relationship, Ophelia returned home to rural New York to run the family’s B & B—wiser, and more guarded against foolish fantasies. Now Kyle has come crashing back into her life, and all her defenses are down.
Kyle can’t think of a better place to write his latest screenplay than his hometown. After all, that was where he met the heart of his inspiration—his first love. He knows the damage he’s caused
Ophelia, and he wants a chance to mend their relationship. If anyone can prove to Ophelia that happy ever afters aren’t only for the movies, it should be him.
As much as Ophelia’s changed, she still has feelings for Kyle. But her heart has been broken before, and she knows that Kyle could run back to Hollywood at any time. She gave up her dreams once, but maybe she can dare to change her own love story…one last time.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;">In </span><i style="color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;">A Brand New Ending</i><span style="color: black; white-space: pre-wrap;">, Kyle Kimpton and Ophelia Bishop are only eighteen years old when they decide to run away together to pursue their dreams. Leaving the family farm behind, they escape to Hollywood to get married and chase their careers. Kyle plans on being a famous writer, and Ophelia longs to be a singer as great as Adele. Unfortunately, their paths diverge and rip apart their relationship. As Kyle thrives in Hollwyood as the new hotshot screenwriter in town, Ophelia falters when she realizes in order to be famous in the music industry, she needs to change who she is. Choices are made that rip them apart, and Ophelia returns to the family farm with her heart shattered and dreams destroyed. </span></div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
Kyle realizes he’s made a big mistake letting go of the only woman he’s ever loved. His memories haunt him. Here are the top five he thinks about constantly:
He remembers the first time they kissed when they were sixteen years old. Riding on horseback through the meadow, Ophelia falls off her horse, and when he frantically checks on her, they gaze into each other’s eyes and he realizes at that moment, he is in love with his best friend. They share their first kiss, and when they walk away hand in hand out of the meadow, everything has changed.
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ophelia would sneak out at night to meet him at the barns. They kept their relationship secret from Ethan and Harper (Opehlia’s siblings) and spend nights lying on a blanket, under the stars, holding hands and talking about their dreams and future. </div>
When Kyle’s abusive father blames him for his mother’s death, he runs to the only place he’s ever felt safe: the Bishop family farm. Ophelia opens the door and instantly senses his pain. She holds him tight and for the very first time, Kyle cries in her arms.
When they were young, they hung out with Ophelia’s brother, Ethan, and were called the Three Musketeers. They’d run around the small town of Gardiner, raising hell, and ending up at Bea’s Diner for her famous burgers and pies, detailing the glory of their future.
Kyle vowed to wait until they were married to claim Ophelia as his. They get married in Vegas in a tiny chapel, by Elvis, and when they return home to their tiny apartment, they make love for the very first time.
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a decade, Kyle returns to his hometown and back to Ophelia. He intends to create many new memories with the woman he loves. He dreams of running the Inn with her side by side as he writes his new books on his terms. He wants to raise a family with her in their childhood town, and be surrounded by the people and animals he’s always loved. He wants to watch her sing again, making people happy, finally owning her special gift without fear. And this is where <i>A Brand New Ending</i> begins...</div>

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kylie Scott comes a new story in her Stage Dive series…
When the girl of your dreams is kind of a nightmare.
As head of security to Stage Dive, one of the biggest rock bands in the world, Sam Knowles has plenty of experience dealing with trouble. But spoilt brat Martha Nicholson just might be the worst thing he’s ever encountered. The beautiful troublemaker claims to have reformed, but Sam knows better than to think with what’s in his pants. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy to make his heart fall into line.
Martha’s had her sights on the seriously built bodyguard for years. Quiet and conservative, he’s not even remotely her type. So why the hell can’t she get him out of her mind? There’s more to her than the Louboutin wearing party-girl of previous years, however. Maybe it’s time to let him in on that fact and deal with this thing between them.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excerpt:</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I don’t believe this,” I bitched. “My Valentino boots are actually sticking to the floor. That’s how gross this place is.”<br />
<br />
Lizzy just smiled. “Told you to dress casual.”<br />
<br />
“I am.”<br />
<br />
The smile widened.<br />
<br />
“Jeans and a tee is casual.”<br />
<br />
“A tee? It’s velvet, Martha.” She held a bottle of beer up to her lips, taking a sip. “I said we were going to a dive bar. You have only yourself to blame for the fashion faux pas.”<br />
<br />
“But velvet is in!”<br />
<br />
“Would you two quit talking? I’m trying to listen,” said my brother, Ben. The big hairy idiot was slouched back in his chair, bopping his head in time to the music.<br />
<br />
Lizzy shuffled closer all conspiratorial-like. “I know why you’re all dressed up.”<br />
<br />
I said nothing. There was nothing to be said.<br />
<br />
Next her gaze went to the man standing at the end of the bar across from us. No, no, I would not turn my head. I would not fall prey to her bullshit. After all, I’d managed to successfully avoid him for the forty-eight or so hours since my not so triumphant surprise return to the West Coast. Even with us both being in the same house. A very big sprawling house, but still.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, it should probably be mentioned that he looked awfully good tonight in jeans and a white T-shirt with a leather jacket. Samuel Rhodes, otherwise known as Sam. Not a pretty man with his harsh features and bull-like neck, but something about him appealed to me. As always, his head was shaved and his body was built and my idiot fingers itched to explore.<br />
<br />
Okay. So I guess at some point I must have turned my head. And shit, he caught me looking.<br />
<br />
The corner of his lips rose just a little, just enough to mess with me, before he returned to doing his job by casually surveying the packed room. My heart did not speed up due to anything done by him. Clearly, I hadn’t totally caught my breath from when we’d walked in half an hour ago or something. That was all. Interesting to note, he did none of the checking me out typical of a heterosexual male who might have been into me. In fact, he didn’t really give me any signals at all. Ever.<br />
<br /></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Princess Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook had an unusual childhood. She was raised to be a Queen—the first Queen of Wessco.
It’s a big deal.
When she’s crowned at just nineteen, the beautiful young monarch is prepared to rule. She’s charming, clever, confident and cunning.
What she isn’t…is married.
It’s her advising council’s first priority. It’s what Parliament is demanding, and what her people want.
Lenora has no desire to tie herself to a man—particularly one who only wants her for her crown. But compromises must be made and royals must do their duty.
Even Queens. Especially them.
**
Years ago, Edward Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke, walked away from his title and country. Now he’s an adventurer—climbing mountains, exploring jungles, going wherever he wants, when he wants—until family devotion brings him home.
And a sacred promise keeps him there.
To Edward, the haughty, guarded little Queen is intriguing, infuriating…and utterly captivating. Wanting her just might drive him mad—or become his greatest adventure.
**
Within the cold, stone walls of the royal palace—mistrust threatens, wills clash, and an undeniable, passionate love will change the future of the monarchy forever.
Every dynasty has a beginning. Every legend starts with a story.
This is theirs. </span></div>

<strong>About LAWBREAKER:</strong>
Raised on the streets, <strong>Shay Morgan</strong> yearns for a real family, where love is unconditionally offered—even when trust doesn’t come easy. Before that day arrives, she trespasses and steals in order to provide for the few people who’ve gone out of their way to protect her.
Born to privilege, <strong>Ben Bishop</strong> loathes his family for the despicable things they’ve done, and not done. He vows to be different, play by the rules, do the right thing. Building a thriving nightclub with those who share his values dominates his world.
One explosive night at his bar, Loading Zone, changes everything. For both of them. Forever.
A dance of opponents commences as they thwart with suspicion, start to trust, then sidestep to protect themselves from a fatal blow. Until they soon wonder if they’ve been fighting for the same side all along.
As they begin to open their hearts, they up the stakes with a one-week pact. She shows him the power in breaking the law. He demonstrates the virtue of following it.
Then a far-reaching crime is suddenly exposed—that his family committed. And for one chance moment, Shay and Ben hold the key to right the wrong, correct the injustice. <em>But at what cost?</em>
Will they be able to return from the other side together? Or will their differences tear them apart?
<strong>Flirting with danger...has never been so tempting. </strong></div>

<span style="color: #0f2afe;">Exclusive LAWBREAKER Excerpt:</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="color: #0f2afe;"><div style="color: black;">
</div>
<div style="color: black;">
The rumble of the idling V8 engine vibrated through the truck.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Faint gasoline fumes wafted in through the cranked-down windows, then blew out just as fast on the crosswind.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
But none of those distractions fazed Shay.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Her attention had fixed solely on me. “Why do you like me?”</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
“More than like you.”</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
She didn’t say anything to my clarification. Instead, those expressive green eyes searched mine. Her chest rose with a measured inhale, fell on a slower exhale.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Her slender brows twitched down for a split second. “But why?”</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
A million reasons came to mind.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
But in that moment, one echoed with more force than the rest.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
“You live loud...without saying a word. When you’re around, you drown out all the noise. When I’m with you, there is nothing else.”</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Silence filled the cab.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
We sat on opposite sides. Lap belts held us securely down.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
But she flattened her small hand over the worn leather of the bench seat, into the space between us.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
I bridged the remaining gap, spread my fingers wide, until my larger pinky touched hers, knuckle to tip.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Long seconds drifted by.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
The engine rumbled.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
The crosswind blew.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
But we didn’t move away from our fragile connection.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
We stared at each other...and saw through every defense we’d built. As we inhaled and exhaled, breaths coming faster, shallower, I got the sense that we breathed common air for the very first time.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
We’d come from different worlds, but we occupied the same space in that moment. In spite of our differences. Maybe because of them.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
But on her next quick breath, her brow furrowed. Her hand twitched away.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Whatever she struggled with had broken through. That spiky armor clamped back around her.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Moment over.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
And yet, she still stared at me. Gaze fierce. Jaw set. “When I’m with you, I become someone else. I forget who I am. And I can’t let that happen. You make me believe I can trust again. And that terrifies me.”</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
I stared back at her, undaunted. “I will never let you forget who you are. Become someone else with me, someone better. Get terrified; we’ll only grow stronger.”</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
After a long beat, she sucked in a deep breath. Then she pursed her lips and blew it out, nice and slow.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
She remained silent. Committed to nothing.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
But then I felt her pinky press against mine. Tentative, at first. Then firmer, solid.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
She’d spoken, in her own way. And I’d heard loud and clear: I’ll become someone better, I’ll get terrified...just as long as you don’t let me down.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
I gusted out a relieved sigh. “Well, hell. No pressure there.”</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
She didn’t laugh. Her eyes narrowed.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
I reached farther and slid my hand over hers. “I won’t let you down.”</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Nothing in the world could make me blow this...even though the weight of our world rested on my shoulders.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Including lightening the mood. Now. Before she changes her mind and bolts from your truck.</div>
<div style="color: black;">

<strong>About <em>LOVE LIKE OURS:</em> </strong></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>One wrong move, and she meets a guy with all the right ones…</strong>
Talia Dalton lives her life on cruise control. Despite her successful career as a professor, she prefers protecting her broken heart to taking chances. She’s calm, cool, collected, and steady. Until the morning she takes her eyes off that familiar road and almost runs over the sexiest man she’s ever seen. It may not be the best way to start the day, but it might be the type of shake-up she needs.
Male dancer Derek Grant has goals, and nothing is going to get in the way of achieving them. As a graduate student and the sole caretaker of his ailing father, he hasn’t much time for relationships. Then Talia crashes into his life. Sweet, pretty—and so buttoned-up that he can’t wait to help her cut loose.
For Derek, falling in love was a beautiful accident waiting to happen. And it might be exactly what Talia needs—if she’s willing to let go of the past and embrace every surprise Derek has to offer.

<strong>Excerpt:</strong></h2>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As Derek made his way toward the exit, he passed an open door, and a woman’s voice sent a streak of awareness through him. He stopped walking, took a few steps backward, and peered into the room. Sure enough, the Parking Lot Plower stood at the front of the class, looking hot as fuck in her body-hugging white blouse, which was speckled with whatever she’d spilled on it this morning, and a beige skirt. She was tall and slim, with full breasts and legs that went on forever. Her hair was like chocolate silk, hanging loose over her shoulders, framing high cheekbones, a slim, perky nose, and serious eyes. She looked completely in control, confident with an air of refinement that reminded him of classic actresses, the very opposite of how rattled she’d appeared that morning when she'd almost plowed him over in the parking lot. He’d wondered if she was really okay, and he hadn’t stopped thinking about her since.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He stepped into the doorway to hear her more clearly, wondering how many guys in the class were actually paying attention and not filling their mental spank banks with images for later. She was either oblivious to the sensual vibes she naturally emitted, or excellent at ignoring that vixenish side of herself as she held her chin up high and stood ramrod straight. The epitome of a professional.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Over the past twenty years,” she said as she paced, “changing geopolitical and socioeconomic conditions have shifted society’s constructs of American manhood.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Holy shit. What was she lecturing about?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her gaze swept over the crowd—over him—to the other side of the room, then quickly darted back to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello, beautiful. Remember me? The man you almost killed?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her eyes widened, and she stumbled for words. He slipped off his parka and settled into a seat, no longer hungry. At least not for food.</div>

<h2>
<b>Synopsis:</b></h2>
It Takes Three Simple Steps To Make a Guy Fall in Love with you…
Determination.
Seduction.
Charm.
Let the game begin...
Presley Cabot has come a long way from the overweight, awkward college student who fell hard for the gorgeous track star, Nolan Banks, only to be humiliated after their one night together. Now, she’s one of the billionaire badass owners of LWW Enterprises and has everything she’d ever wanted in life, leaving her past behind.
But when Nolan comes back into town, and doesn’t even recognize the girl he once destroyed, she decides to invoke her own personal revenge. The plan is simple—make him fall hard for her, then dump him. She transforms herself into his perfect woman using three simple steps to spin her web.
But she never planned on getting caught up in old feelings…and new promises…
Nolan Banks leaves Wall Street behind to open up a brewery in his small college town. Finally ready to carve out his life away from the dreams of his family, he never expected to find an immediate attraction to the sexy corporate mogul who challenges him at every step. He falls hard and fast, determined to show her they’re meant for each other, until the truth of their shared past shatters their fragile foundation. But Nolan is playing for higher stakes, and he’s not about to let Presley walk away without a fight. Can he convince her his feelings have nothing to do with the game rules, and everything to do with the woman she is?

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you guys know me at all, it's pretty much a given that I'm going to enjoy anything Jennifer Probst writes. Her books never fail to bring a corny smile to my face, so I never had a doubt that I would enjoy "The Charm of You". So for this, the review of my twelfth JP read, I've decided to change it up a bit and try a different format.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here are some of my thoughts, in bullet form for easy reading, no less:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>I read this book in under 24 hours, which doesn't happen very often for me. In fact, when I finished, I was a little bit sad - I didn't want to say goodbye to these characters, I wanted more! </li>
<li>I enjoyed both MCs equally and immensely. They seemed like down to earth, genuinely nice people.</li>
<li>In addition to the characters' individual personalities, I also loved their connection <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">and the sexual tension between them, as well as their dialogue and banter. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">The plot - wow! I can't give anything away here, but some of the things that happened between Presley and Nolan in college really struck home for me. It was rather uncomfortable at times, but I appreciated the accuracy of JP's writing - it made me feel like I was traveling back in time. </span></li>
<li>I liked Presley's friends - JP always writes great female friendships! - but I didn't get a clear picture of their individual personalities or how exactly they fit into the business. </li>
<li><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Along with the point above, I had some other questions about the business. For example, h</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">ow did Presley become a billionaire? Are her business partners billionaires, too? I'm not saying it's impossible, but it seemed a bit extreme with only being 10 years out of college. I wanted more detail.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">And a more random thought for y'all: where did all of Presley's extra skin go with her 100 lb weight loss? Maybe she's one of the lucky ones who didn't have any? I wanted more details on this, too. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">I would have liked to see more of Nolan's brother and possibly his sister/parents. Dare I hope that JP has something planned for future books? </span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall, another win in my streak of rewarding Jennifer Probst's titles - this one is definitely Roxy recommended! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><div>
<b>My rating: 4 stars</b></div>

<strong>Available Now</strong></div>
<h2>
<b>Synopsis:</b></h2>
It Takes Three Simple Steps To Make a Guy Fall in Love with you…
Determination.
Seduction.
Charm.
Let the game begin...
Presley Cabot has come a long way from the overweight, awkward college student who fell hard for the gorgeous track star, Nolan Banks, only to be humiliated after their one night together. Now, she’s one of the billionaire badass owners of LWW Enterprises and has everything she’d ever wanted in life, leaving her past behind.
But when Nolan comes back into town, and doesn’t even recognize the girl he once destroyed, she decides to invoke her own personal revenge. The plan is simple—make him fall hard for her, then dump him. She transforms herself into his perfect woman using three simple steps to spin her web.
But she never planned on getting caught up in old feelings…and new promises…
Nolan Banks leaves Wall Street behind to open up a brewery in his small college town. Finally ready to carve out his life away from the dreams of his family, he never expected to find an immediate attraction to the sexy corporate mogul who challenges him at every step. He falls hard and fast, determined to show her they’re meant for each other, until the truth of their shared past shatters their fragile foundation. But Nolan is playing for higher stakes, and he’s not about to let Presley walk away without a fight. Can he convince her his feelings have nothing to do with the game rules, and everything to do with the woman she is?

<h2>
<strong>EXCERPT: </strong></h2>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
She’d known all along he’d lied about his identity in order to secure this appointment. Admiration flowed through him, along with a strange punch in his gut that urged him closer. The spicy scent of orange blossoms and clove filled the air, making him want to breathe deeper. “How did you know?” he asked, stopping on the opposite side of the monstrous espresso structure that held two oversized monitors, dozens of papers, and a toppling pile of books. “I thought I covered my tracks nicely.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
She gave a half shrug and reached for her Starbucks cup, seemingly already bored with his conversation. “You’re predictable.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Male pride stung, he still couldn’t help laughing. Why did he have to be attracted to a woman who gave him shit? Would be so much easier to find a more complacent partner for an affair. Unfortunately, Nolan knew it was way too late for him. He was officially smitten. “Then I’ll have to up my game.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Another shrug. “Maybe you have no game left.” She sipped her coffee and studied him, those stunning eyes shielding her secrets. He ached to know every detail about this woman, but knew he’d have his work cut out for him.</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
“Come to lunch with me and find out.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
She tilted her head. Tapped her index finger again those bee stung lips as if considering. “Why?”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Her question delighted him. “Because the moment you walked into my brewery I haven’t been able to get you off my mind.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
“How sweet.” She fluttered her lashes. “Too bad I forgot you the moment I walked out of your brewery.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
He dropped into the chair opposite the massive desk and hooked his foot over his knee. He made no attempt to hide his naked admiration for those amazing legs or the brazen way she challenged him to go and try. Her foot flexed, lifting the spiked heel, and those sleek muscles clenched under golden skin. His dick practically wept and got strangled in his jeans. “Ouch. What if I confessed you were the first woman in a long while to intrigue me?”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
“Yeah? What intrigues you so much?”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
He warmed up to the topic. “Besides your rapier wit, and superior intelligence? Your eyes. When I look into your eyes, I seem to lose track of time. I don’t want to be anywhere else.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Was it possible she actually looked bored with his compliment? She gave a long-suffering sigh, regarding him like he was mentally challenged. “Please tell me you have better things in your arsenal. And you better upgrade from that Peter Gabriel song because it’s been overdone. I spend every Saturday with a personal trainer who makes me throw up for fun, so I really don’t want to hear about my pretty eyes or wit. Go ahead and bring it. Tell me I have a slamming body and get creative, dude, or I’m throwing you out and you won’t get another chance to bang me.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
God, she was magnificent.</div>

<strong>About AS DUST DANCES:</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Once upon a time Skylar Finch was the lead singer of a hugely successful American pop-rock band. But fame made her miserable. When years of living a lie suddenly ended in tragedy, Skylar fell off the map.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Eighteen months later she’s sleeping in a tent in a cemetery in Glasgow, making just enough money to eat by busking on the streets. She manages to avoid recognition, but not the attention of one of Glasgow’s ambitious A&R executives.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Killian O’Dea works at Skyscraper Records, Scotland’s most successful record label. Raised by his uncle and owner of the label, Killian’s upbringing would have been devoid of affection entirely if it wasn’t for his loving sister. Killian is unflinchingly determined to bring the label more success than ever, and the young homeless woman who busks on Buchanan Street is going to help him do that. Her music speaks to him in a way he refuses to over-analyze. All he knows is that if it can touch his dark soul, it’ll set everyone else’s alight.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Skylar makes it clear that she doesn’t want to sign with him. But when she experiences the dangerous reality of a woman sleeping rough, Skylar has no one else but Killian to turn to. An undeniable connection forms between them. But Skylar doesn’t want the career Killian is trying to forge for her, and when her past comes back to haunt her Killian will be faced with a decision that could ruin him. He must either free Skylar from his selfish machinations and destroy everything he’s ever worked for, or lose a woman who has come to mean more to him than he ever thought possible…</h3>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is my f</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">irst</span> book by this author, but I've always heard great things about her books and writing, so I was pretty excited to get in on this blog tour - I was hoping for a real winner, and that's exactly what I got with "As Dust Dances". Now I just need to go back and read all of Samantha Young's previous books!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; user-select: text; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />There were so many great things about this story! For example, I loved the beginning when Skylar was living rough in Glasgow. This set a fast pace and connected me immediately with Skylar, as I felt legitimate concern for her being in this situation. I also enjoyed the v</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">ery real portrayal of the negative effects of fame and paparazzi - Skylar had such a hard time with this, and was more than ready to give up everything she'd worked so hard for in order to have some privacy. In fact, this became the main source of conflict between Killian and Skylar, as Killian's main mission in life was to sign Skylar to his label and thus subject her to the whims of the paparazzi once more. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the relationship Skylar had with her ex-bandmates, including her ex-boyfriend Micah. Although she had a very dysfunctional relationship with Micah, it seemed realistic that she would still have strong feelings for him, and I'm pleased with how their story arc concluded.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">It took a while for Killian to grow on me, which was the same for Skylar as well. He came across as very serious and gruff, not to mention single minded. However, </span><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">once he made his feelings for Skylar known, </span><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">Killian was all in, and I loved that! </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">There was no humming or hawing, he just put it all out there and was ready to give Skylar everything. My opinion of him did a very quick 180 degree turn, which was fabulous. </span></div>

<strong>About AS DUST DANCES:</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Once upon a time Skylar Finch was the lead singer of a hugely successful American pop-rock band. But fame made her miserable. When years of living a lie suddenly ended in tragedy, Skylar fell off the map.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Eighteen months later she’s sleeping in a tent in a cemetery in Glasgow, making just enough money to eat by busking on the streets. She manages to avoid recognition, but not the attention of one of Glasgow’s ambitious A&R executives.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Killian O’Dea works at Skyscraper Records, Scotland’s most successful record label. Raised by his uncle and owner of the label, Killian’s upbringing would have been devoid of affection entirely if it wasn’t for his loving sister. Killian is unflinchingly determined to bring the label more success than ever, and the young homeless woman who busks on Buchanan Street is going to help him do that. Her music speaks to him in a way he refuses to over-analyze. All he knows is that if it can touch his dark soul, it’ll set everyone else’s alight.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Skylar makes it clear that she doesn’t want to sign with him. But when she experiences the dangerous reality of a woman sleeping rough, Skylar has no one else but Killian to turn to. An undeniable connection forms between them. But Skylar doesn’t want the career Killian is trying to forge for her, and when her past comes back to haunt her Killian will be faced with a decision that could ruin him. He must either free Skylar from his selfish machinations and destroy everything he’s ever worked for, or lose a woman who has come to mean more to him than he ever thought possible…</h3>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong><strong> </strong>
When I finished, O’Dea was sitting on the chair, his elbows braced on his knees. He was staring at the floor, like he was lost in thought. Then he looked up at me and my breath caught at the million heartbreaking emotions roiling in his gaze.
And then they were gone, as if they’d never been there.
“That’s all I have so far,” I whispered, so confused by him. “No more songs.”
His expression was unreadable. “Your visitor’s visa is about to run out.”
Bewildered by the response, I could only nod.
“You’ve no money.”
I tensed.
“You’ve run away from your identity, from your life in the band, in the US. You’ve no family to speak of, and you abandoned your friends.”
The man was the soul of sensitivity. “Your point?”
“My point is that you don’t have many options. I think you were living in some naive fantasy that you could keep running from your problems and live a relatively peaceful life as a homeless person. Somehow, miraculously, you survived unscathed for five months. But last night you were given a giant fucking look at the reality and dangers of homelessness. I wish it hadn’t happened that way, but there was never any other way it was going to end. And it has ended, am I right?”
“So, do you get, like, a bonus at the end of every day if you say a hundred patronizing things in a twenty-four-hour period or something?”
He ignored me. “You can’t go back to sleeping rough.”
“I think I got that, thanks.” I waved my cast at him.
“So … it’s either call your old manager, your band—”
“Not an option,” I snapped.
O’Dea smirked. “Then I’m all you’ve got. And I’m no fucking Mother Teresa. I’m in the business of making money, Miss Finch. You’ve already proven you’re good at making it. And from what I heard today and have heard you playing when you busk, I think the world hasn’t even seen a fraction of what you can do.”
There was really nothing to do but glare and hope that he withered under it.
“I’ll let you stay here in this flat free of charge, give you a weekly stipend for clothes, groceries, a new guitar. You can heal up here. But all of it in exchange for a record contract. A one-album deal, that’s all I ask. When you’re healed up, you’ll be straight into the studio to record.”
The thought made my stomach pitch. “I don’t want to be famous again.”
“Tough shit. There is no being famous again. You <em>are</em> famous. And you’ve got more talent in your pinkie finger than most do in their entire being. And that talent deserves more of a platform than standing on a street busking. It’s a goddamned insult to all those people out there trying to make the big time. I don’t care what it is you’re running from. I care that you sort yourself out and make some music again. Music that matters. Music that will heal you.”
I bristled. “I’ve made music that matters. I’ve got the fan mail to prove it.”
“Your music in Tellurian did its job. It was catchy, appealing, and teenagers related. But your voice is meant for something else. The songs you just sang to me … those are songs that will really make people <em>feel</em>. It’s vulnerable and brutally honest and that’s the stuff that resonates with people. People want songs that make them feel good, but they also just want songs that me them <em>feel</em>, even if it breaks their fucking heart. You’ve been through a lot, Skylar. Even if I couldn’t read a newspaper, I’d know that by listening to those songs you sang.
“Two years ago, you were a leader on social media and the lead singer of a pop-rock band that teens and college freshman loved. I’m not asking you to go back to that. I’m asking you to become an artist in your own right. If you don’t want the social media exposure, we’ll have someone else run that stuff for you. And we’ll do what we can to minimize the tabloid exposure. It will be hard at first considering your disappearance, but once it dies down, we can make it so you’re not hounded. It is possible.”
“It doesn’t matter whether they hound me or not. I hate the fame. I hate the touring. I hate it all.”
“No.” His expression hardened. “You don’t…”

<strong>"Addictive like all Kylie Scott books, you'll swoon, laugh, ache, put your life on hold, and compulsively read until the wee hours of
the night—only to reread the whole thing the next morning. Perfection!" - Katy Evans, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author</strong>
Returning home for her father’s wedding was never going to be easy for Adele. If being sent away at eighteen hadn’t been bad enough, the mess she left behind when she made a pass at her dad’s business partner sure was.
Fifteen years older than her, Pete had been her crush for as long as she could remember. But she’d misread the situation—confusing friendliness for undying love. Awkward. Add her father to the misunderstanding, and Pete was left with a broken nose and a business on the edge of ruin. The man had to be just as glad as everyone else when she left town.
Seven years later, things are different. Adele is no longer a kid, but a fully grown adult more than capable of getting through the wedding and being polite. But all it takes is seeing him again to bring back those old feelings.
Sometimes first loves are the truest.

<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Did you enjoy the wedding?” he asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“W-what?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The man stood much closer than necessary. “The wedding. It was nice, right?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Sure.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Faint strains of music carried from across the road. It seemed worlds away. He downed a mouthful of scotch, gaze never leaving my face. All I could smell was the single malt, his cologne, and the slight scent of salt on his skin. After all, it’d been a hot night and he’d been dancing in the suit. He wasn’t happy; I knew the signs well enough. The tension in his jawline and the look in his eyes. All heated and intense.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“So you’ve been sitting in the dark, drinking and brooding, huh?” I asked. “That sounds constructive.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What did Leona have to say?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I laughed. “Oh, hell no. I’m not getting caught in the middle of you two again. Why don’t you try settling your issues like normal people and actually talk to one another?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You have such a clever mouth, Adele.” He cocked his head. “Always got an answer, don’t you?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Enjoy your scotch, Pete.” I turned away. “I’m going to bed.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What’s the rush?” Strong fingers wrapped around my arm, not gripping me hard, just enough to hold me in place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I’ve spent enough time tonight in the company of a drunken asshole, thank you.” I smiled.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His return smile was lopsided. “You’re angry.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I’m tired.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You’re angry and tired. Me too,” he said. “Less so on the tired, though. Actually, I’m wide the fuck awake.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Good for you.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He finished off his drink, then reached past me, setting the empty glass on the kitchen counter. “Keep me company.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Why not?” he asked, expression full of false interest. “Thought you’d love the chance to tell me off some more.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I looked away. “We’re done here.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“No, we’re not.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yes, we are.” I pulled my arm out of his grasp. “We’re finished, Pete. Our friendship or whatever the hell it is these days . . . It’s over, kaput, the end. Took me seven years, but tonight I finally wised up.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“That so?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yep,” I said. “I refuse to keep feeling this way about you. It’s such a stupid waste.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His gaze narrowed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You know, I even have a plan.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What might that be?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“In the morning, I’m going to go home and fuck every available man I meet until one of them does it for me.” My smile felt jagged and horrible. It couldn’t have been pretty so see. “And then I won’t think about you anymore.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">His fingers curled into tight fists. Nice to know I wasn’t the only one affected. I put my hand on his chest, getting up in his face. Two could play the invading-personal-space game, for fun and intimidation. As if I would back down.</span> </div>

<strong>Releasing August 17</strong></div>
<h2>
<b>Synopsis:</b></h2>
It Takes Three Simple Steps To Make a Guy Fall in Love with you…
Determination.
Seduction.
Charm.
Let the game begin...
Presley Cabot has come a long way from the overweight, awkward college student who fell hard for the gorgeous track star, Nolan Banks, only to be humiliated after their one night together. Now, she’s one of the billionaire badass owners of LWW Enterprises and has everything she’d ever wanted in life, leaving her past behind.
But when Nolan comes back into town, and doesn’t even recognize the girl he once destroyed, she decides to invoke her own personal revenge. The plan is simple—make him fall hard for her, then dump him. She transforms herself into his perfect woman using three simple steps to spin her web.
But she never planned on getting caught up in old feelings…and new promises…
Nolan Banks leaves Wall Street behind to open up a brewery in his small college town. Finally ready to carve out his life away from the dreams of his family, he never expected to find an immediate attraction to the sexy corporate mogul who challenges him at every step. He falls hard and fast, determined to show her they’re meant for each other, until the truth of their shared past shatters their fragile foundation. But Nolan is playing for higher stakes, and he’s not about to let Presley walk away without a fight. Can he convince her his feelings have nothing to do with the game rules, and everything to do with the woman she is?

<h2>
<strong>EXCERPT: </strong></h2>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
She’d known all along he’d lied about his identity in order to secure this appointment. Admiration flowed through him, along with a strange punch in his gut that urged him closer. The spicy scent of orange blossoms and clove filled the air, making him want to breathe deeper. “How did you know?” he asked, stopping on the opposite side of the monstrous espresso structure that held two oversized monitors, dozens of papers, and a toppling pile of books. “I thought I covered my tracks nicely.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
She gave a half shrug and reached for her Starbucks cup, seemingly already bored with his conversation. “You’re predictable.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Male pride stung, he still couldn’t help laughing. Why did he have to be attracted to a woman who gave him shit? Would be so much easier to find a more complacent partner for an affair. Unfortunately, Nolan knew it was way too late for him. He was officially smitten. “Then I’ll have to up my game.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Another shrug. “Maybe you have no game left.” She sipped her coffee and studied him, those stunning eyes shielding her secrets. He ached to know every detail about this woman, but knew he’d have his work cut out for him.</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
“Come to lunch with me and find out.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
She tilted her head. Tapped her index finger again those bee stung lips as if considering. “Why?”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Her question delighted him. “Because the moment you walked into my brewery I haven’t been able to get you off my mind.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
“How sweet.” She fluttered her lashes. “Too bad I forgot you the moment I walked out of your brewery.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
He dropped into the chair opposite the massive desk and hooked his foot over his knee. He made no attempt to hide his naked admiration for those amazing legs or the brazen way she challenged him to go and try. Her foot flexed, lifting the spiked heel, and those sleek muscles clenched under golden skin. His dick practically wept and got strangled in his jeans. “Ouch. What if I confessed you were the first woman in a long while to intrigue me?”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
“Yeah? What intrigues you so much?”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
He warmed up to the topic. “Besides your rapier wit, and superior intelligence? Your eyes. When I look into your eyes, I seem to lose track of time. I don’t want to be anywhere else.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
Was it possible she actually looked bored with his compliment? She gave a long-suffering sigh, regarding him like he was mentally challenged. “Please tell me you have better things in your arsenal. And you better upgrade from that Peter Gabriel song because it’s been overdone. I spend every Saturday with a personal trainer who makes me throw up for fun, so I really don’t want to hear about my pretty eyes or wit. Go ahead
and bring it. Tell me I have a slamming body and get creative, dude, or I’m throwing you out and you won’t get another chance to bang me.”</div>
<div style="font-weight: 400;">
God, she was magnificent.</div>

<strong>About RESPECT:</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who called a corrupt kingdom home sweet home.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Protected and sheltered from the worst the world had to offer, she fell in love with the crumbling city that burned and blazed around her. Every dirty corner, every scary shadow, found a place within her heart. So did a man who was violent and dangerous, just like the streets she claimed as her own.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
He was all business and brutality, except when it came to her. With her, he was calm, caring, and heartbreakingly patient.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
He warned her over and over that he wasn't the man for her, but she refused to listen. She never expected either the streets or their enforcer to hurt her, since she'd given her heart so completely to both.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
She should have known the streets in the Point were always going to be savage, and so was the man committed to keeping control of them in the hands of criminals and bloody kingpins.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Blindsided by a betrayal which cut so deeply she was sure the wounds would never heal, the princess fled the home she loved and the man who broke her heart. Throwing away her rusted, twisted crown was supposed to help her forget. All it did was make her long for everything she left behind. She told herself she would never go back, but in this tormented kingdom, family is everything. Eventually, she has no choice but to return.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
While she was gone, the people who loved her worked hard to make the city safe, and the man who destroyed her sank deeper into the darkness. Going back shouldn't feel like surrender... but it does. As this pretty princess hovers on the edge of the unknown, the past attacks with a vengeance. It's a good reminder that puppy love eventually grows up and turns into something with sharp teeth and one hell of a bite.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
She never asked for the keys to the kingdom. She'd much rather go out and build her own.</h3>

<b>Synopsis:</b></div>
<b>An enriching story of family ties, broken hearts, and second chances from <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author Jennifer Probst.</b>
When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sisters’ B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isn’t easy when a fiery woman explodes into his life…
It’s business—not pleasure—that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritating—from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk.
But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?

Have I mentioned that I love Jennifer Probst's books? I think I may have a time or two. Needless to say that the bar was set quite high for me going into this one, and I'm happy to say that "The Start of Something Good" delivered everything I've come to expect from this author and more.<br />
<br />
First off, this story is not just about two people falling in love. There are sisters, friends, a wayward teen, a group of party hearty senior citizens, a nutso chicken, and a skittish horse. There's a cool little town on the edge of rejuvenation that I would love to visit. There are several different conflicts between the various players, including a play on the old city mouse/country mouse tale. Discovering what makes the two main characters happy, besides each other, is a recurring theme. An insta-hate meet cute had me laughing, and the conclusion had me sighing. What else? Oh right, the pastries! (she says as she subtly wipes the drool from the corner of her mouth). In short, a delightful read I would recommend to any of my friends who enjoy a perfectly paced, swoony romance with an exceptional cast of characters.<br />
<br />
<b>My rating: 4 stars</b><br />
