<!--wp:paragraph--></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A mafia romance about betrayal and faith by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York Times</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"The truth may hurt for a little while, but a lie hurts forever."—Ryan Bigge</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I grew up knowing it would happen one day.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Believing that I would fall into my father's footsteps and become a monster of my own making.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">So I fought it.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I lived.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I loved.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I teased.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">And then one day… I destroyed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">And realized I loved the pain.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Obsessed over the feeling.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">So I cut again and again and again.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">She saw my rage, my madness, and tried to stop me from destroying myself, and I hated her for it, pushing her away past the point of no return.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Izzy Abandonato was supposed to be mine.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">But there are some things people can never come back from. I hurt her, she hurt me, and now I'm living a lie. Telling the ones I love that I'm on one side when for years I've been forced to play both.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I'm no angel.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I've fallen.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">And I may single-handedly bring down the Cosa Nostra—by default.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I, Maksim Sinacore, will have my vengeance.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I will win her back.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even if it means I have to kill everyone in my path.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pain masks the betrayal.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I never realized that one day—I'd be the very rat that I hated. That I was sent to kill. But once you're deep in a lie—you'll do anything to hide the truth.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">She fell for the bad one.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">She fell for the sinner.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">So why does that make me smile?</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Review</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">Rachel Van Dyken has done it again with another great addition to her Mafia world. This is a unique Jekyll/Hyde take on living in the Mafia world that at first I was skeptical about but ended up working better than I could have imagined. Maksim and Izzy as a couple were no surprise to anyone who has read the previous books in the series, but the secrets that Maks has been keeping were definitely new and made this an enjoyable read as well as a mystery to figure out along the way. The book felt a little rushed at times, but generally the pace was good and it was an easy read. I recommend for anyone who loves Mafia books or Rachel Van Dyken.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><br /></strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Meet Rachel</strong></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Excerpt</strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The door slammed. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Honey, I’m home...” I said to myself with a grin. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I had a bottle of wine out on the living room table, my shoes on the glass as I leaned back and took a swig from my goblet—because why not get fancy at two in the afternoon? </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“It’s ten a.m,” came Tank’s annoyed voice. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Or ten in the morning…whoops.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I don’t own a watch.” I shrugged. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“What’s that on your left wrist, then?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Oh, that?” I shrugged. “It’s an Apple watch used strictly for heart rate and exercise purposes.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Exercise to you is opening your mouth and closing it, Tiny.” He made it farther into the room, and I tried…I really did. I tried not to check him out. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Not to stare at his golden skin. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>His bulging biceps beneath his plain black t-shirt. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>The new ink poking out from the V of that same shirt. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Would he get the Abandonato crest like the rest of the Family? </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I shivered. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He would look so hot with it across his chest. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Our crest. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Mine. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>I shifted my eyes away too slowly, and he caught them with his green-eyed gaze before he licked his full lips like he saw something else he wanted to lick. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He always looked at me that way—with both annoyance and need. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>And I never knew how to take it. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>On one hand, I wanted to believe the need trumped any annoyance he felt for me, but I knew how he saw me. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>As a spoiled brat with a silver spoon stuck up her ass. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>And even worse now that I was older. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Now that I was…different. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“You added more blue.” He jutted his chin toward me and sat down on the chair across from the sofa I was lying on. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“Yup.” I examined my black nail polish. “I felt like it wasn’t making a strong enough statement.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>He snorted out a laugh. “And what sort of statement were you going for? Gothic chic?”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“What?” I glared at him. “You don’t like it.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“It’s not you.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>Disappointment threatened to choke me, and shame crawled up my neck by way of a harsh red flush. “You don’t know me.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p>“I did.” He locked eyes with me. “Or I thought I did.”</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p><strong>Review</strong><br />For those who have been reading the Mafia Royals series, we knew this story was coming for Tank, and that he'd have to choose between the Family and the FBI. While I believe this is considered a Novella, the story doesn't feel short or rushed and flows perfectly. Rachel Van Dyken has a way of making criminals into likable characters that become the "good guys" and are easy to root for and care about. If you are new to Mafia romance, Tiny and Tank are a great couple to start with as both really are good people at heart who care about family and of course, each other. </p><p><br /></p>

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b><span face="Raleway-Regular, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 14px;">I was so happy when I found out that Catherine Bybee was starting-up a new series and picking-up the character of Claire from the First Wives Series. It was clear there was some tension between Cooper and Claire, which considering Claire's age would not have been okay at that point, so catching up with them in the future and meeting again was the perfect way to handle that relationship. For anyone who hasn't read those books, having that history is not really important and Bybee is great filling in the details you need without boring those of us who already know them. The story is one of my favorites of Bybee's so far. The characters are both so well written and not too "perfect" with both showing some immaturity at times, but still learning from it. The mystery was also well done and the development flowed very naturally.</span><b><br /></b>

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This is a quick and easy read and if you enjoy this genre, the story is well done. However, what I learned about myself is that I'm not really a fan of this genre of book. I'll start with the Pros. The story flows easily and is well written. The dialogue flows naturally and the characters are well established. While there is a lot of angst, it doesn't take over the book at all. The Heroine is never sitting around thinking "woe is me" without trying to do something about it.</span><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The Cons for me are that there really isn't any character development. I mean technically yes the hero does go from being an asshat to a caring husband and father, but we never really see that happen, it just seems to happen overnight. I also feel like the heroine is fairly spineless. She does try and protect her son and makes sacrifices to do so, but for major items like being forced into marriage, I felt like she just accepted it without as much conflict as it warranted.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Basically, if you like this type of book and genre, I think you'll love this book. Lynn is a great writer and it comes through here. If you don't like this type of book generally, you may want to pass.<br /></span></span><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>

<p style="text-align: center;">A mafia romance about love and loss by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.<br /><br /><br />...When you awaken in the morning's hush<br />I am the swift uplifting rush<br />Of quiet birds in circled flight.<br />I am the soft stars that shine at night.<br />Do not stand at my grave and cry;<br />I am not there. I did not die.<br />-- Mary Elizabeth Fyre<br /><br /><br />"I'm sorry for your loss." I would rather be tortured for an eternity than hear those damn words from one more person, as if Claire, my dead fiance, was a cell phone or car keys.<br />How about, I'm sorry your life is over.<br />I'm sorry you want to die too.<br />I'm sorry you see her in your dreams and wake up only to relive the nightmare.<br />I'm supposed to be the strongest of them all. Ash Abandonato, ruler, assassin, made man, brother, friend--instead, I hurt everyone I touch in hopes that they'll feel even a sliver of the pain that bears down on my shoulders.<br />I didn't lose.<br />It was taken from me.<br />And it's all her fault, Annie Smith.<br />I daydream about her death.<br />And then I close my eyes, and I see her soft smile. I feel her touch, her kiss--it was a mistake what we did that night, but I can't take it back, and now she's under my father's protection--my protection.<br />My worst enemy.<br />The woman I'm the most attracted to.<br />I can't decide if I want to strangle her or kiss her, and now that she's stuck in my life, my only goal is to make her feel the same loss I do and destroy her in the process.<br />I'll trick her with my touch.<br />Seduce her with my kiss.<br />And in the end, when my enemy is at her most vulnerable--I'll bring down an entire Empire and continue my reign as King.<br />Bow down, I'll say as I bring the Five Families to their knees.<br />Blood in.<br />Never out.<br />Damned. </p>

Ash and Annie's story is full of emotion, passion, twists, and turns. Annie may be one of my favorite heroines from the Mafia books yet. Rachel seamlessly crafts the story taking the reader up and down with her without ever feeling manipulated. This book really should not be read as a stand-alone, but for anyone who has already read Ash and Claire's story, this is a must-read.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><br /></strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Meet Rachel</strong></p>

<b><br /></b>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><b>She’s small-town business. He’s Manhattan high finance. Together they ignite in a novel about unexpected love and danger by Nancy Herkness, award-winning author of the Wager of Hearts series.</b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">New Jersey bookkeeper Alice Thurber has a carefully constructed risk-free life. Everything in perfect balance. Until little discrepancies show up in her clients’ accounts. Most would ignore it. Not the impeccably precise Alice. In desperation she reaches out to a high-powered consulting firm for help. New York City’s movie-star handsome financial wizard Derek Killion reaches back. All he has to do is smile and Alice’s fantasies stir. A girl can dream, can’t she?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;">A cofounder of KRG, Derek’s promise is to advise small-business owners in trouble. He never guessed that assisting the diffident but sexy Alice would be so captivating and make it so hard to keep his desires in check. But just as intriguing is the alarming puzzle behind the computer glitch that’s unsettled his client. As the investigation unfolds, they must also confront an attraction too palpable to ignore. Every new dark twist they follow is only bringing them closer together—in passion and in danger.</p>

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Great mix of suspense, brains, and sexy times. Both Alice and Derek are non-traditional heroes in the romance world because let's face it, accountants aren't usually sexy. Nancy Harkness finds a way to change that and makes the usually boring profession seem sexy and exciting. The story moves quickly and the suspenseful part of the story is well constructed and paced. I recommend to anyone who loves romantic suspense.</span><div><span style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>

<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">Jace Kaiser is a man without a country, without connection. His only loyalty is to the group who saved him, and the man who leads them. Until her...</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">The assignment should have been easy. Capture a deadly assassin and take her to HQ. But flawed intel leads to disaster, and Jace abducts a beautiful art appraiser instead. Intrigued by her courage, he's drawn to her in ways he can't explain. Dr. Madeline Cole stood up to him, fought for her identity, and never backed down. She's the kind of woman he could fall for if it wasn't so dangerous - for her.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">Then Maddy is targeted for elimination because she's the sole person who can identify the mysterious female assassin - and the only thing standing between her and certain death is the sexy mercenary who swears he'll die before he lets anything happen to her. As the passion between them ignites, it seems clear that keeping Maddy safe has become the most important assignment of Jace's life.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;">Even then, protecting her might not be enough - because Jace has secrets that could destroy them both. And someone is determined to unmask them all...</p>

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Black List is the best beginning of a series I've read in a long time. As a fan of Lynn's other Hot series, there was no question I was going to read this book, yet it still exceeded all expectations. Jace and Maddy's story has the exact right mix of sizzle, adventure, and mystery, however, Ian Black is the scene-stealer and what will keep me coming back to this series. I read this book before I listened to it and I have to say that the audio really added to the story. Joe Arden and Emma Wilder are great choices as narrators for this story. I recommend it to anyone who loves a great Action/Adventure romance.</div><div><br />

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">There is so much to love about this story. The story starts with a bit of a slow-burn, which I love due to its authentic feel. Insta-love can be nice, but it rarely feels like something that happens to regular people. As characters go, both Grace and Dameon are great characters. Grace is a strong woman who great at what she does but is also still dealing with the misogyny and limitations that still come with being a woman working in a predominantly male profession. I also really enjoyed how playboy Dameon's infatuation with Grace hits him over the head, causing him to start changing and chasing after the girl before the girl gives him a reason to believe he'll be successful. Finally, I love the mystery subplot. There wasn't anything surprising about it, but it blended well with the story and added to the action and overall character development. </span><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As always with Bybee's books, I was able to get lost in the story for a few hours and forget about the rest of the crazy world for awhile.<br /></span></span><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This is a great story if you are a fan of Ruth Cardello and have followed her since her first series. If you haven't, but you love an easy romance with a bit of mystery, you will still enjoy this... but you'd probably enjoy it more if you go back and read the Maid for a Billionaire series first. That said, I fell in love with McKenna and Christof from the beginning and found their chemistry easy and believable. These two have a lot more than a sexual connection though, they truly connect and it's easy to believe their relationship will withstand the long-haul and whatever else the Corisi Billionaire Series throws at this family in the stories to come.</span><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>

She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm or connecting with her readers online.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111;

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">You had me at "Starring: Clay Landon as Fairy Godfather Extraordinaire." Ruth has once again written a romantic comedy that is equal in both. The best thing about Bradford is that he has been the straight man to everyone else's crazy in the previous books and it was great being able to see him in his own story. Bradford and Joanna definitely do show that opposites attract and seeing Bradford turn into a man who is more than a bodyguard and confidant was definitely a good payout on the wait.</span><div><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span>

She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in.

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b><span style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">What I loved best about this book was the slow burn romance. There were not instant sparks between Meredeth and Cam, more irritation than hate or love. Sometimes annoyance is harder to overcome than being enemies (there is a reason enemies to lovers is a thing!), so that makes this story even more refreshing. Once the spark is there though, the story really takes off. Another thing I loved about this book is the character development. Both Meredeth and Cam are going through huge life changes, and while those are central to the characters, it isn't necessarily central to their story. It is easy to see how in real life these two crazy kids will make it because their relationship is built on more than grief and sadness. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a great story with well-written characters.</span></span><div><span style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span>

That’s what besties are for, right? But going undercover at her boyfriend’s
work to find out if he’s cheating seems a bit extreme. Except she can’t say no.
Never to Mia. The moment she walks in and sees her <i>boyfriend</i>, she

thank yous, and he never smiles. Everyone should smile at least once a day.
It’s one long week of a battle of wills, sinful glances, and keeping her hands
to herself. All she can do is repeat Mia. Mia. Mia. This is all for Mia. Until
she realizes…there are two Mr. Holloways. And she got hired by the wrong one.</span></div>

What could have been an awkward story about mistaken identity is instead a sweet tale of longing and two people trying to do the right thing when their attraction is inconvenient. Once the mistaken identity is resolved, relatively quickly thankfully, the story evolves into a sweet romantic comedy with a nice mix of steam, comedy, and romance. This is the first story by the author I've read, but I'll definitely be reading more.</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I’m a USA Today Bestselling Author that loves to write sweet
contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels, although I am partial to
romantic suspense. Honestly, I love anything that has to do with romance. As
long as there's a happy ending, I'm a happy camper. And insta-love…yes, please!
I love baseball (Go Twins!) and creating awesome crafts. I graduated with a
Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, working in that field for several years
before I became a stay-at-home mom. I have a few more amazing stories in the
works. If you would like to connect with me or see important news, head to my

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-size: 13px;">Erin and Matt are such a great couple. I love how they both start out so awkward around each other when otherwise they are totally confident people. While both of the characters were introduced in the previous book in the series, there is no reason you can't read this as a stand-alone. From a story perspective, this is classic Bybee. The characters are genuine and real. The chemistry is natural and unforced. And the story is engaging. Another five star read from one of my favorite and most consistent authors.</span><div><span face="Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #111111;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span>

<b>From neighbors to friends to lovers? All the makings of a risky second-chance romance by <i>USA Today</i> and <i>Wall Street Journal</i> bestselling author Tracy Brogan.</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
Since Carli Lancaster’s divorce, she’s worked hard to keep life as normal as possible for her daughters. When she lands a job as cohost of a local morning show, it looks like a fresh start. So does the arrival of a handsome new neighbor, who has more in common with Carli than just a property line.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
Ben Chase is also new to single parenthood. And like Carli, he’s focused on the future.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
From navigating neighborhood gossip to decorating for holidays to reaching out in times of trouble, they quickly learn to rely on each other. Just like a couple but without the complications of coupling! Sure, there’s attraction. They’re only human. But they’re also friends, and who wants to ruin a perfect relationship with romance?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
They’re both thinking about adding some perks, though, and even if their new normal isn’t perfect, it’s definitely somewhere in the neighborhood.</div>

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
This story was a refreshing change of pace in my romance reading. If you are looking for steamy romance, this book is not for you, but if you are looking for character building and a book about a budding relationship that doesn't just happen over a couple of days, then this is for you. I found both of the characters interesting and flawed yet still likable. I also loved that these characters were a little older and not 20 somethings. In general, I loved everything about this book and would recommend to anyone who reads romance and women's lit.<br />

<b>Review:</b><br />
This book was the Mafia romance I didn't know I needed. I loved Rachel Van Dyken's Eagle Elite series. There are few instances where I've felt as emotionally connected and attached to the characters of a story as I was in that series. I was however skeptical of a second series featuring the younger generation. I should never have doubted RVD's wisdom and greatness. I wouldn't say that Ruthless Princess is better than the original series, but it certainly holds its own with strong characters. You can definitely read this without reading the previous series, but I can almost guarantee you'll go back and read them after finishing.<br />

<div class="has-text-align-center">
He licked his lips and repeated what he always did when we had to perform, when we had to do our jobs. “I won’t be gentle with you.”</div>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<br />
<div class="has-text-align-center">
Our foreheads touched, my chest heaved with exertion like it was hard to breathe when he was so near, but really it was the promise that killed me, a promise that he wouldn’t enjoy touching me ever again, that I was more curse than cure, and yet, I knew it was all we would ever get, these fleeting moments where we did our job too well. “Then make it hurt, baby.” My voice cracked. “Make it hurt.”</div>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<br />
<div class="has-text-align-center">
His lips parted in a groan as he spun me into his arms and crushed his mouth to mine. It was part pain, part pleasure as he pulled my hair then slid a hand up my shirt like nobody was watching when everyone was.</div>

We broke apart, mouths swollen, my lower lip was bleeding.</div>

“Mmmmm…” I smirked. “Looks like Junior’s not playing around tonight, ladies.”</div>

<div class="has-text-align-center">
Screams went up as Junior grabbed my ass and squeezed so hard, I knew I would bruise later. He roughly pulled me against his chest and nipped at my neck.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">My first time was with him--one hot weekend with a handsome stranger. It was supposed to be a one-time thing, but he keeps asking me to meet him all over the world, and I keep saying yes.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I don't know anything about him except his first name. That's the way he likes it.

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This is one of those stories that catch you off-guard. I was expecting a sweet and easy read, but what I got was actually a complex story that sucked me in from the beginning and didn't let go until I finished. I really liked learning about Richard and was invested in learning more about the mystery surrounding him. I recommend for anyone looking for a quick read with good characters and fans of Noelle Adams.</span><br />

Falling for a bad-boy rock star is the last thing single mother Casey Anderson-Bovier should do. Embroiled in a custody battle with her ex, Casey is fighting to raise her boys in their quaint Colorado hometown—a secret haven for celebrities. But when it comes to her hotel’s newest guest, Casey can’t connect the dots. Is Zane Steele the out-of-control rocker plastered all over the media, or the captivating man with a killer smile who’s charming her and her two boys?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
Zane has a good reason for letting the world believe the worst of him—and that’s a secret he’s sure he can never share…until he meets Casey. After years of having fans fall at his feet, he’s found the one woman who brings him to his knees. Casey is beautiful and intriguing—and thoroughly justified in not trusting him one bit, especially with her family at stake. But the only way to be together is to convince her to take a chance on him, on fate, and on their crazy, unexpected love.</div>

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This was my favorite book of this series. It could probably be read as a stand-alone but it would be better appreciated if you read the previous books first as the main characters from those books are present in this story. The characters feel real and are easily relatable while still being light-hearted and funny.</span><br />

Since then, she’s dazzled readers of contemporary romance with her own lighthearted love stories. She was the 2012 Golden Heart winner for Contemporary Series Romance and has also received the Golden Pen Award for Single Title Romance. Born in Monterey, California, she led the nomadic life of a navy brat before finally putting down permanent roots during college. When she’s not attending annual Romance Writers of America meetings, this voracious reader can be found playing tennis, traveling, or scouting reality shows for potential character material. Tamra resides with her real-life characters—a husband of thirty years, two kids, and their allergy-ridden dog—in the sunny Southwest.</span></b><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Brent Keiser, a certified genius, and forensic accountant works for the FBI mostly because of their awesome retirement plan. Growing up homeless with a ditzy mother can make a guy be a little obsessive in the saving for the future department. But just once, he'd like to get out in the field, maybe actually fire a gun or chase after a bad guy like the other agents. Although, solving crimes with his calculator is statistically much safer, and he'd live to enjoy that house on the beach he saves for each payday.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Sara Chapman used to be a card-carrying member of the Hollywood rich kid pack, but after serving community service, she said goodbye to her spoiled friends. Seeing the plight of the homeless up close and personal gave her new direction. But that doesn’t deter the annoying paparazzi. Her parents were the famous ones, not her. Sara’s only recent claim to fame was for having the most embarrassing public break up in the history of the entire world. Unfortunately, they don’t give Oscars for those, so she is trying to keep her head down and to stay as far away from single men as possible.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But then Sara becomes unknowingly tangled up in Brent’s money laundering case against her father. When it becomes hard to tell the good guys from the bad, she turns to Brent for help. While on the run for their lives, the built, nerdy accountant with magnificent abs, transforms into her personal superhero. Opposites in almost every way, will Brent see her as his Kryptonite or his Lois Lane?</span><br />

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Great opposites attract story. Like the other books in this series, this is a fun and light-hearted read. More than just romance, this book includes Mystery and suspense as well. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Besides reading, I like to travel and have fun adventures with my family. I’m addicted to all of Bravo’s Housewives reality shows because certain traits of those women make for great characters in my books. It’s just an added bonus to live vicariously in their closets. And I love to see the singers on The Voice living their dreams. I’ve always been tempted to apply to be a contestant on Survivor, but I chicken out every time I get to the application part. I really like to be clean, sleep on something soft at night, hate bugs and I enjoy having at least two meals a day. I wouldn’t last a week on that show.</span></div>

<b>A political golden boy and the woman of his dreams take the risk of their lives in a sexy romantic comedy of strange bedfellows and second chances by <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Lauren Layne.</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
Fresh off being named <i>Citizen</i> magazine’s Man of the Year, New York City’s youngest mayor, Robert Davenport, decides it’s time to strategize. Next move: a bid for the governor’s seat. In his way: an incumbent with a flawless reputation. He also has an Achilles’ heel: an estranged wild-child daughter with a past so scandalous it could be Robert’s ticket to victory. And a charm so irresistible it could be Robert’s downfall.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
Rebellion is a thing of the past for Adeline Blake. As New York’s premier event planner, she’s all about reform and respectability. Then she’s approached by Robert to organize the party of the season. Curious, considering he’s her father’s most formidable opponent. And alarming, too. Because Addie can’t help but fall for the righteously popular candidate with the movie-star smile.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
Now it’s Robert’s choice. Does he pursue a future that holds his legacy? Or the woman who holds his heart?</div>

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I love political romances and I love Lauren Layne, so this book was a perfect match for me. Robert is a bit of a unicorn politician in that he is a good guy who wants to do good things but is still stuck in the middle of the ugly world of politics. Adeline's character was one of the most developed characters I've read in a while with the layers to her personality. The romance between the two is everything I'd expect from Lauren Layne, but what really sets this story apart from others is the character development of both Robert and Adeline. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves romance and great characters.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>One look and I
know… this chick hates me.</b><br />
I should walk away, find some puck bunny to gleefully sit on my lap and tell me
what a big, hot, hockey stud I am--totally true, BTW. But there’s just
something about this feisty redhead I can’t let go. She’s got an edge to her
that’s sexy as hell and a smart mouth that’s been tying me up since the night I
met her.<br />
<br />
She tells me to forget it, we’re not happening. But this isn’t the kind of
woman a guy ever forgets. Especially when the air starts to sizzle and pop
every time we get within ten feet of each other. She’s in my head and under my
skin, and all I can think about is the way she looked at me that one time. Like
she already knew how it could be between us.<br />
<br />
I’m not the kind of guy a girl like her takes home… But maybe I want to be.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Full of heat and passion, not just an enemy to lovers' book, this story is driven by the magnetic chemistry between two people. I really enjoyed Mira Lyn Kelly's take on this trope and the characters she created that were real and easy to fall for. I recommend for anyone who loves Mira Lyn Kelly and a well-written love story.</span></div>

<b>A woman’s journey through tragedy leads to the discovery of love in a novel about hope and survival by <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Catherine Bybee.</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
When a wildfire nearly destroys Parker Sinclair’s family home, it’s just one more disaster to add to her mountain of stress. For the past two years, she has shouldered the responsibility of raising her younger brother and sister after their parents’ untimely deaths. Forced to leave college for a crappy job that barely pays the bills, Parker manages her family property, which consumes every aspect of her life. Now winter is coming and the forecast isn’t spreading sunshine on the dark cloud over her head. The last thing Parker needs is a mudslide destroying everything she has worked so hard to maintain.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
Colin Hudson’s job as a public works supervisor is to protect Parker’s property and neighborhood from further damage. But it’s a little hard when the owner of the land is a control freak who tries to do everything herself. The hardworking, attractive young woman is far from the “hot mess” she claims to be. In fact, her tight grip of control is one of the things that attract him the most. It’s also the hardest to crack. Now Colin’s working overtime to help Parker open up her heart, trust him, and let him in.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
As Parker and Colin work together to keep her home and neighborhood safe, they may be in for another disaster. Or they may just realize that sometimes it takes destruction to create something new.</div>

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This is an amazing story that Catherine Bybee has written. Closely paralleling her own experience with wildfires and flooding, she takes that experience and puts strong characters in her place that make the story really come alive. Parker is one of the more interesting characters I’ve been introduced to in a long time and the way she handles tragedies and life, in general, is admirable. It is hard to imagine having to take care of her siblings and the kind of property described in the book at such a young age with no one to help guide her. Colin is less complex but no less likable of a character and a true hero that Parker isn’t necessarily looking for but needs. The story is face-paced and the type of book you don’t want to put down until the end. I recommend to anyone who loves women’s fiction or romance.</span><br />

<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Angelica Turner’s life is in danger. If she wants to survive, she’ll have to turn to a man with violence in his eyes and death in his soul. A man she desires, yet desperately needs to resist if she doesn’t want her shattered heart again.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Hardened mercenary Colton Duchaine has wanted Angie since he first laid eyes on her, but he knows he’s the wrong kind of man for an innocent woman like her. His life is too dangerous, too unpredictable. He can never settle down.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But when someone wants Angie silenced, Colt will do whatever it takes to keep her alive. And when she’s safe, he’ll get out of her life for good.</span><br />

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It's official, Ian Black's team is my favorite of the HOT teams in the series, even if they aren't actually a HOT team. I loved colt in the first of the Black Bandit's books and felt the chemistry between Angie and him even then. The slow burn feel to their romance is a little different than many of Lynn Raye Harris's books due to the nature of them being heroes put in dangerous situations and often meeting their mate through those circumstances, but the lead-up to the romance here is perfect for these two. Their feelings sneak-up on them before they realize they are even there and make their romance so much better. I recommend to any fan of Lynn Raye Harris, the book could probably be read as a standalone, however, it would be better enjoyed after reading the first two Black's Bandits books.</span><br />

<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Connor Sutton never had a problem attracting women. Tall, blond, easy-going . . . all he had to do to get them into his bed was to stop saying no. He never wanted to be rich or famous, but when his sister married a billionaire, he became both. To fit into the Barrington clan, he had to make a lot of changes and although being rich is nice. . . all it takes to make him happy is a loaded pizza and a cold beer.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Until he meets Angelina Kroll and discovers what it’s like to want someone he can’t have. Then she’s all he can think about.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As a hardworking, single mother, the last thing Angelina is looking for is a fling with a movie star, especially gorgeous, broody Connor Sutton. She gave up believing in happily ever after a long time ago. When she’s unexpectedly fired, Connor offers her a job that’s impossible to refuse.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">He’s not the man she thinks he is.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">She’s not the woman she’d hoped to be.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">They’ve both left behind more than they wanted to.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Will they discover fitting in doesn’t have to be all or nothing?</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Can they be rich . . . and happy too?</span><br />

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Connor has been the source of a lot of comedic genius in the Barrington Series. While he was often comic relief I was worried about how a book centered around him would turn out because he always felt like a one dimensional and somewhat dimwitted meathead. I was pleasantly surprised to get into the head of Connor and find a sweet and self-conscious man trying to figure out his place in this new rich man's world. Angelina is a less complex character that I felt could have been explored a little more but was likable and a good match for Connor. The story was well-paced until the end when it somewhat abruptly ended. In general, the story felt like it was missing conflict and I ultimately didn't enjoy it as well as the other stories in the series, but it was still a nice sweet romance that was worth reading if you've read the rest of the series.</span><br />

All of her books are total page turners, unique, heart wrenching, and I love them all. There isn't two alike in the bunch and I feel like i know the characters personally.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.</span><br />

When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm or connecting with her readers online.</span><br />

<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Four women… Four very different paths. One incredibly cutthroat world.<br />Welcome to the Jungle.</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As America’s sweetheart, Brittany is perceived as the "good girl." The sort to bring her Bible to a photoshoot... only to garner the attention of a most unlikely suitor. Until one mistake irrevocably changes both of their lives forever. Fortunately, both now and then, Brittany has wonderful support systems, including her tribe.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The leader of the tribe and a model who’s fought every battle and obstacle in the industry, Zoe, knows her worth. Until a sex tape scandal rocks her world. She sees no choice but to put her trust in the one man she shouldn’t, to make it all go away and help her succeed. Unfortunately, not only is he mired in New York’s underbelly, he wants repayment... with interest. Namely, her hand in marriage.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Despite her seemingly perfect life, Everlee has problems of her own. Not only has her world-renowned photographer husband been cheating, but it’s actually much worse than that. The things surrounding what he’s done are so dark and dangerous, Everlee’s life may actually be in jeopardy.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">And then there's Danica, cold, dead in the ground Danica. Some secrets stay hidden while others are just waiting to be discovered- hers has the power to alter the industry forever.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In the world of the Fashion Jungle, it’s easily eat or be eaten… but, if you make it out alive, you just might have a story to tell - though it will likely be one of secrets, lies, deceit, and loss.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Strap on your stilettos, it's about to get wild.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Based on true stories and events.</span><br />

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This book is written by Kathy Ireland and Rachel Van Dyken. Yes, THAT Kathy Ireland. The book has a unique pace, bouncing around between four main characters' points of view and between the past and present. While it did take a bit of time to follow the pace and structure of the book, it really works for this story. Knowing that the events are based on true stories make the book that much more interesting and also tragic. For fans of Rachel Van Dyken, this is a very different type of story than she generally tells, but again it works, which is a credit to her writing abilities. I went in this as a fan of Van Dyken's, and not really caring about fashion at all, but still was very interested in the subject and the story throughout. I recommend for anyone who enjoys Women's Fiction and is looking for something a little different than their usual read.</span><br />

<b>REVIEW</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway-Regular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Lauren Layne's take on the classic fake engagement/friends to lovers story. What helps set this story apart is that Audrey and Clarke have been characters in the previous books in the series, so finally being able to read about their history was in itself exciting. The depth of Clarke's character was particularly surprising based on what we have seen in the previous books. I also enjoyed reading about Audrey and the other women who were all in love with the same man and the different perspectives on what led them to where they are. Audrey particularly would be a difficult character to write since she is the one who knew she was participating in an affair. Layne does a good job making Audrey likable and understandable and deserving of her HEA.</span><br />
