J R Gale Mr. Unexpected (The Bonded Brothers Series) Book 1 of 2: The Bonded Brothers Series

 

Harrison Davenport is my best friend’s elusive, wealthy, older boss.

A man seemingly worlds apart from me… and yet, somehow, our worlds collide.


When I lock eyes with the gorgeous man across the room, butterflies ignite my insides.

We flirt with our hurried glances and sneaky smirks, and then, to my surprise, I slip away after sharing only my name.


A week later, through my gilded mask, those familiar electric eyes have me captivated, and this time, we exchange more than names.


The third time we meet, it’s on the dance floor of a nightclub.

Words clash, accusations fly, and in a whirlwind of temptation, I spend an unforgettable night with him… knowing it’s all he could give.


Against the odds, I see him again one month later—this time, I’m teaching his daughterhow to bake.


Is it coincidence or the universe’s way of pushing us together?


Despite our connection, he holds me at arm's length, too protective of his daughter and family bond.


Until one day, the tension snaps, and we finally give in to the unexpected pull between us.


My Review, thoughts, & no spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by ME!!!


I always enjoy this Authors writing. Harrison & Juliette among the others characters in this story will definitely stay with me as the reader for quite sometime. It definitely was a rollercoaster of emotions. I really enjoyed this story.

Adriana Locke This Much Is True (Marshall Family Series) Part of: Marshall Family Series (2 books)

 

This isn’t your average romance. It begins with me in a wedding dress, just not at an altar …


I never expected to be a runaway bride. I also never thought I’d end up on my ex’s doorstep to flee from said wedding. Now that I’m here, it’s easy to find the key in an old boot by the door and let myself inside. It’s not breaking and entering if I have a key, right?


It’s safe to say that Luke Marshall didn’t expect to find me on his couch in my wedding dress, my veil over my face in tears. He has no choice but to listen to my panic-induced plea for salvation. It’s only a matter of time before the tabloids get wind of my disappearing act, and my life is over.


Luke takes pity on me and says I can stay… on one condition.


I can’t sing for my supper—I have to earn it. I have to work in the barn alongside him, up to my elbows in horse manure. Oh—and because there’s only one bed, I get the couch.


This works … in theory. However, when sparks start flying, and the small-town farrier asks me to stay, I’ll have to decide between my life as a pop star or a second chance with my first love.

Lilly Henderson Until We Surrender: A Spicy Contemporary Romance (Until Series) Book 2 of 2: Until Series

 

His proximity alone sends a shiver through me, but how he says my name erases all doubts about my feelings. I want him. But I can’t have him. We’re friends. Only friends. Nothing more. -Lauren


Old friends.

New feelings.

Will that be enough?

Lauren has only two kinds of relationships with the men in her life: friendship or weekend fling. Her past left her too emotionally and physically broken to allow anything beyond that, and she mastered the art of hiding her fear of history repeating itself behind her extrovert nature.

Only Henry sees through her act now that he wants to break free from the friend zone. When he stirs feelings inside Lauren that she considered buried and lost, hope resurfaces, but trusting a man with her heart again proves to be more complicated than she assumed.

Also, Henry’s life is dictated by his father, who wants to mold him into the next CEO of the family company and is against a relationship that doesn’t serve the business. But Henry is willing to stand up against his dad—and fight his way through the walls Lauren built.

When she finally lets him in, he makes her experience things she never thought possible. But will that be enough?

Nicole Abrams He Will Come For Me (The Society Series) Book 1 of 2: The Society Series

 

Held captive in chains with only my memory to keep me occupied, even though I had no memory of how I got there, or who took me. The one thing I held on to that kept repeating in my head was, “He will come for me. He always comes for me.” Then, after what my mind believed to be months, I was finally rescued; by the boy I had a crush on at Brighton Academy.


Phoenix Stone. Who is ALL man now and my father’s enemy.


Now, I’ve traded chains for walls. His words say I am a prisoner, but his actions don’t. I soon learn I am not his captive in this war between my father and him; but his property.
