***5 ‘Obsessive & Dangerous’ Stars*** I’m still digesting this book because it’s kind of done my head in ~ in a good way ~ but still.  Things are bouncing around in there and making me feel liking I’m in a live action (albeit in my head) game of Frogger because it’s like I get settled on a feeling, an idea, a state of being and then out of nowhere I’m hit by a Mack truck and feel like I have to re-evaluate whatever I’d decided upon and yet..not really...so yeah. It’s a bit of a clusterfuck up there right now. But...as this is a duet, I don’t have to over analyze a damn thing yet and can still do a vague, stream of consciousness type thing until I get to devour the second book… Jay and Stella. I’m not all too sure how much I like them...yet. I do like them. I may love them (eventually) but I can say with certainty that I am fascinated by them. They both have walls. They both want to appear a certain way to those in their lives ~ no matter how deep or shallow that connection is. ...

***4 Stars*** Oh Tori and Colt...you both had me laughing while rolling my eyes A LOT throughout this book.  Not that I didn’t know that would happen because after all the time spent with them in The Bookworms Guide Series I already knew that they would take the term “oil and water” to a whole new level...and boy did they ever.  I cannot deny that I loved them both. They are both all about being their for their friends and family ~ even when they drive them beyond insanity ~ and truly do love hard in all things. And the chemistry between them was HAWT ~ talk about being passionate, even when that passion pushed their bantering into something that toed the line into being more mean than just biting. But they worked. On a crazy level, they just worked and I’m very thankful that they have the friends around them that they do because I was seriously wishing I could reach into the Kindle and do a ton of Gibbs smacking. This was another fun read from the White Peak crew. I loved han...

The on...

  Release Date: May 25 Master distiller, Jake Dyer, is doing everything he can to keep his family-run gin distillery in business. Working seven days a week to maintain production volumes while overseeing a complex renovation of the distillery keeps him busy. There is no room for anything else in his life, especially not Cassie Cunnigham, his childhood friend, and daughter of the owner of the construction company completing the renovation.   Cassie Cunnigham hates leaving her project management job with a New York construction firm to return to Denver after a decade away.

Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames. From The Embers, an all-new standalone catastrophic romance from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez is available now! In the aftermath of tragedy, it’s strange the things you remember. The deafening boom as the house exploded. The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife. The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out. But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn’t my wife. Bree and I were the only survivors—not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team. It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile—slow and life-altering. The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest...

I can’t trust her.  So, I’ll watch and wait… and ignore how her sharp wit and bewitching charm scorch the shackles of my restraint and enchant me into her fire....
