Harlow James Someone You Deserve: Carrington Cove Book 2 (Carrington Cove Series) Book 2 of 5: Carrington Cove Series

 

Rule number one of bro-code: exes, sisters—and of course, wives—are off-limits.

Don’t think about them and sure as hell don’t kiss them.

But what if your best friend dies, and suddenly you want the woman who has always been his?

Four years ago my childhood friend lost his life serving our country, and Astrid and her kids became my responsibility.

But before I knew it, something started to shift between us.

Her smile started to make my stomach twist. Our conversations gave me something to look forward to. And working with her made me appreciate just how strong she truly was.

But then one night, I did the one thing I shouldn’t have but couldn’t fight any longer—I kissed her.

She pushed me away, told me it was a mistake, and begged me to forget it ever happened.

And then she shoved me deep and fully into the friendzone, where I’ve resided since then.

Until one instance changes everything and I know for certain she’s the woman I want.

Just when I think we’re on the same page, a secret from our past threatens to destroy our future.

I shouldn’t want my best friend’s widow.

I shouldn’t care what other people think.

But in the end, the only thing that matters is being someone Astrid deserves, and I’ll stop at nothing until she believes that too.

My Personal Review, Thoughts, & No Spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What another great read by the author. This is the second book in the series & definitely did not disappoint. I enjoyed reading Penn and Astrid’s story. These are two characters that will definitely stick with me for awhile. I am really enjoying the Covington Cove series. I cannot wait to see what happens next. This storyline definitely held this readers interest from beginning to end. 

Keelan Storm Unraveled (Breaker Ridge) Book 4 of 4: Breaker Ridge

 

 IZZY DONOVAN was my biggest weakness and my greatest desire.

We’d been through hell and made it back out the other side, stronger than ever. But no matter how hard we tried,there always seemed to be forces working against us.

Not only were Lisa and Zane not giving up, but now, Izzy was asking me to deal with my cousins. And I was throwing it right back on her. Ryder wasn’t going away. The more demons we conquered, the more we seemed to uncover, the seams in our lives threatening to unravel.

For Annie and Jet, too.

Ruby was a constant headache. Secrets from our families’ pasts were piling up, and tension was pulsing, threatening the peace we’d fought to earn back.

We were no longer fighting to survive. We were fighting for us. For our entire group.
BEFORE THOSE SEAMS HOLDING US TOGETHER RIPPED AND OUR LIVES UNRAVELED AROUND US.

My Personal Review, My Thoughts, & No Spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me!!

What can I say about this series? It’s definitely been one that has held my interest. The characters and their personal lives and adventures will definitely stay with me. This book in particular had me hooked from beginning to the very last page. I adore the Donovan twins. Izzy & Annie are two of my fa favorite characters in a book series. I have to say I hold a soft spot in my heart for Annie. I just like her spunk. Then we have Tucker & Jet. These two guys they also are two characters that will hold a special place in my heart as well. Then we have Jet’s cousin Nic. He’s become a huge and I say huge favorite personal character that I loved reading about. The friendship these four had and everything they all collectively been through was one heck of a roller coaster adventure. This story had so many elements to it that I don’t want to spoil anything. I am sad to see this series come to an end but throughly excited for the college years. What a phenomenal series and one of my favorite series I’ve read. I cannot wait to see what this Author writes next. I love her style of storytelling and getting the reader, like me, involved & invested with these characters. Phenomenal end to a phenomenal series. 

Lore Townsend Scandalous Lover: A Steamy, Brother's Best Friend, Forbidden Romance (Off-Limits Lovers) Part of: Off-Limits Lovers (4 books)

 

 An underdog resort owner. His best friend’s sister. An island that’s too small for secrets…

I was one major affiliate launch away from the big-time when a scandal brought my dreams crashing down.

After trying to make amends to a community who would rather dance on the ashes of my channel than offer me any kind of forgiveness, I packed my bags and escaped to Faraday Island—to the tropical resort my estranged older brother owns with his three best friends.

To all the world, it looked like I was running to hide at my big bro’s house.

But in reality, it’s his best friend Sam, the man I shared a super sexy, super secret night with a few months back, who I want to comfort me.

Unfortunately, Sam’s less than excited to see me arrive.

I get it. My brother is an overprotective jerk who would freak about us being together. Sam’s convinced he could lose his stake in the resort if anyone finds out.

I’m desperate to rekindle the flame I felt between us, so I agree to keep the whole thing hush-hush. It’s not long, however, before my feelings for Sam start to grow past the boundaries of a casual thing.

Trouble is, my brother isn’t the only thing standing between us and a happy future together in paradise.

I’ve been keeping another secret.

And Sam is going to be mad as hell when he finds out…

LeAnne August Where You Left Me: A Small Town Second Chance Romance (Maple Ridge) Book 3 of 3: Maple Ridge

 

Mia Cappella.

She was my first.

She was supposed to be my last.

But then she left me.

At one time Mia was my world. My everything. She owned my heart.

But that was a long time ago.

When Mia left town eight years ago, she took that pathetic loser with her. And I swore I’d never be whipped again.

I call the shots. Who I date. Who I screw. It’s my business. And just because Mia has turned up in Maple Ridge again doesn’t mean I’m about to change. Even if she still looks as beautiful as she did the day she walked out on me.

She’s back for the summer to help run her dad’s sporting goods store. And even though the two of us used to run around in the same circle, we decide to keep our distance. But as luck would have it, she and I get stuck organizing Maple Ridge’s biggest summer event: Bikes and Beers.

Being tossed back into Mia’s orbit forces me to remember feelings I’ve pushed down for years. Memories of both peak ecstasy and the lowest of pits. But being with Mia is like a car crash I can’t look away from. Her infectious smile, gentleness, and sultry laugh sucks me back in. And before I know it, we’re caught up in our familiar love affair.

The only problem is, we have unfinished business. We share a secret; a deep, dark grief that neither of us have truly recovered from. Being together is painful. It’s a constant reminder of our heartache.

But maybe being apart is even worse?

This has been such an incredible series. I really have enjoyed it as a reader. This book definitely didn’t at all. I really enjoy this authors writing style. She writes characters that are relatable and ones you can connect with. She’s quickly become a personal favorite of mine. I enjoyed Mia & Jones story. It definitely was a roller skating rink of emotions. The characters had plenty of chemistry as well. Just a beautifully written story one that will stick with me for quite some time. I am thoroughly looking forward to what she writes next.

Stephanie Renee Falling in Love with Two: A Surprise Pregnancy Romance: The Lawson's Book 2 Book 2 of 2: The Lawson's

 

 My life was already a mess, but I never expected it to spiral this far out of control. After a few wild nights that seemed like they’d never catch up with me, I’m suddenly facing a reality I wasn’t prepared for: I’m pregnant. The shock of it all leaves me reeling.

Thankfully the universe gave me Dylan—a force of nature with a charm that’s impossible to ignore. He’s like a sexy golden retriever: irresistibly magnetic, effortlessly charming, and always there with that grin of his. When he offers me a lifeline, it comes with a proposition I can’t refuse: move in with him and face this new chapter together.

Living with Dylan is anything but ordinary. Our fiery chemistry quickly turns into something much deeper, and our passionate encounters leave me questioning everything I thought I knew about love. As we navigate the chaos of our new life, from morning sickness to the challenges of cohabitation, we must confront our own fears and hopes for the future.

I not only have to come to terms with opening myself up for a relationship but also the fact that I’m going to be a mother. Both of those are hard pills to swallow, but one day at a time, I’m learning I don’t have to do it alone.

**Although second in a series, Falling in Love with Two can be read entirely on its own.
