Cecelia Conway Battling the Bureaucracy: A Holiday Age Gap Romance (Capitol Shorts) Book 2 of 2: Capitol Shorts

 

I’ve been half in love with Georgette Reed since we started working together. She’s a force to be reckoned with. Intelligent, gorgeous, and ambitious.

She doesn’t know how I feel and I plan to keep it that way. Between our age difference and work conflicts, my feelings are a complication she doesn’t need.

Especially when she decides to take on a group of corrupt lobbyists.

But what happens when things don’t go the way she plans?

No longer able to hide behind our professional relationship, I take action.

Maybe barging into her office and bringing her home with me wasn’t the best idea but I’ll do anything to make sure she’s okay. Including stepping up to help her get rid of the men who are now blackmailing her.

For better or for worse, in sickness and in health.

Those are the vows every couple makes when they say I Do. But how many couples really mean it?

Can you rely on them to bare the weight for both of you when you're too weak?

Roman was my rock until he became my storm. Like a hurricane, he tore through my heart leaving nothing but carnage in its wake.

With one foot out the door, I'm ready to leave and never look back. That's when the words for better or for worse echo in my head. The thought of walking through this life without him is like a stab to the heart. But how do you forgive the man who plunged the knife?

Roll Coaster of Emotions so be Ready

First off I’m going to say as a reader, this Novella hit me to my core. I don’t think I can honestly say how incredibly invested I was in two characters as I was about Luna & Roman. This Novella definitely is a masterpiece of emotions & the roller coaster you as the reader will go on will be totally worth it. Ryan Marie wrote an exceptional, raw & beautiful, story. I cannot express how much I cried during this read & as I stated above it hit me to my core. It’s a deeply emotional and powerful read and it still is staying with me. Luna & Roman are two characters that will stay with me for awhile. This is one story that I am so glad I took a chance on.

Because of Her (Jack & Jill Series) Jewel E. Ann Part of: Jack & Jill Series (5 books)

 

“If sin weren’t pretty, it wouldn’t be so tempting.”

I was an accomplished music professor.

Happily single.

Perfectly content.

Now, I’m unemployed.

Pining for a dark, brooding guy named Jack who lives in a garage with a piano.

And I’m plotting to seduce a married man because his daughter is responsible for my nephew committing suicide.

I don’t know why teenage girls are so mean.

I don’t know why rich men cheat on their wives.

And I don’t know why Jack has serial killer vibes, even though he leaves me speechless every time he speaks.

All I know for sure is that I feel safe in a stranger’s arms and understood by someone I don’t understand.

“You should be a little scared of everyone because humans are unpredictable.”

How far will I go for revenge? More than that …

How far will he go to save me?

*This book contains material involving sexual assault and suicide. Reader discretion is advised.

Almost Perfect E.F. Dodd

 

All he wants for Christmas is her.

  Dave Richardson's life hasn't turned out the way he thought it would. He never expected to slink back to his hometown of Rochester two years ago and take a bartending job, nor did he expect he'd still be tending said bar. Everyone thought he would achieve great things. Hell, he'd believed he would achieve great things. But when Vivian Walters walked into his bar, wearing that dress, on a random Wednesday night . . . things were looking up for the first time in a long time. And they looked even better when he got her number, even if it was obvious she didn't see things between them lasting beyond her night out on Sunday. If he wanted to keep a woman like her, he'd need to become the man he was supposed to be, and fast.

If there was one thing Vivian "V" Walters liked almost as much as designer heels, it was checklists. They'd served her well her entire life- first with college, then med school, landing the perfect internship followed by an even better residency, and, finally, her dream job. So far, her checklist for the perfect man hadn't panned out the same way. But that didn't mean she would lose her ever-loving mind and chuck it all out the window for a hot, sweaty weekend with a bartender . . . right? No matter how good he looked in those worn jeans, or how his blond hair curled just so at the nape of his neck, or the way his deep-brown gaze made her stomach somersault. And even if she gave in to her purely physical attraction to him, it wouldn't be anything other than a fling . . . would it?
