It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And things started to get complicated.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Especially since she was engaged.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And especially since, lately, I’d noticed something more in her eyes. Desire.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lala didn’t exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yet, I was being good—on my very best behavior.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But you know what they say…all good things must come to an end, right?</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;">

When I found out that this story was now available on audio, I was thrilled to listen to it!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">I loved it! I loved Cane and Jada. Especially Cane! He was the perfect sexy, protective alpha. The chemistry between them was H.O.T. I really enjoyed the storyline and the element of suspense. Romantic suspense is my favorite genre! I also fell for Cane's bestfriend Max and Jada's sister, Carrie.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">I really enjoyed the narration. I have turned audios off simply because of the voice of the narrator. Sometimes it's their voice and sometimes it's because I don't feel the connection between the narrator and the character. Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor did an excellent job! I felt that their voices synced with how I imagined Cane and Jada. Hearing their voices made for an amazing audio.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">I would love to listen to this duo again and I can't wait to listen to another Adriana Locke story. I highly recommend!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">♥ Review by Lys</span></div><br /> <p></p>I Love Story Timehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02323170102021133194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350104402182780279.post-75444523325805460882022-07-27T06:00:00.001-07:002022-07-31T19:16:42.585-07:00***New Release!*** REQUIEM by Callie Hart!<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWiipmyeIsj1lLCcOauca2LBaATD88RMw7sR7qZtDAdJmH3apyKBmbxvf033_2oRz7A8Z0lCrtw_28zjpl97q65zYmGiu6AEmEPw-8gu7rtc_UZL7kYOpLRidpoUgJBBqkp7aZiVOSwAYWhM2qhBTF39nSZQJur5YI9XLHBVY1AXbr85J5VuO40g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2750" data-original-width="1857" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWiipmyeIsj1lLCcOauca2LBaATD88RMw7sR7qZtDAdJmH3apyKBmbxvf033_2oRz7A8Z0lCrtw_28zjpl97q65zYmGiu6AEmEPw-8gu7rtc_UZL7kYOpLRidpoUgJBBqkp7aZiVOSwAYWhM2qhBTF39nSZQJur5YI9XLHBVY1AXbr85J5VuO40g=w432-h640" width="432" /></a></div><br /></div></div><p></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span class="yiv9044516988gmail-a-text-bold" style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;">💜 NOW LIVE!

What a read! From the very beginning, I was intrigued by this storyline. Who doesn’t love a strong heroine out for revenge? I salivate over angst and this story had a ton of it. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite genres. However, this story had so much more! A twist I didn’t see coming! This was such a thrilling, emotional page turner. I did not want to put it down! It’s hard when you take a good book on vacation. ALL you want to do is read! I highly recommend this book and all of Callie Hart’s fabulous stories. This one is my new favorite!</span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">~ Review by Lys</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span class="yiv9044516988gmail-a-text-bold" style="color: #0f1111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;">GRAB YOUR COPY HERE: </span><a class="yiv9044516988gmail-oajrlxb2 yiv9044516988gmail-g5ia77u1 yiv9044516988gmail-qu0x051f yiv9044516988esr5mh6w yiv9044516988e9989ue4 yiv9044516988gmail-r7d6kgcz yiv9044516988gmail-rq0escxv yiv9044516988gmail-nhd2j8a9 yiv9044516988gmail-nc684nl6 yiv9044516988gmail-p7hjln8o yiv9044516988gmail-kvgmc6g5 yiv9044516988gmail-cxmmr5t8 yiv9044516988gmail-oygrvhab yiv9044516988gmail-hcukyx3x yiv9044516988gmail-jb3vyjys yiv9044516988gmail-rz4wbd8a yiv9044516988gmail-qt6c0cv9 yiv9044516988gmail-a8nywdso yiv9044516988gmail-i1ao9s8h yiv9044516988esuyzwwr yiv9044516988gmail-f1sip0of yiv9044516988gmail-lzcic4wl yiv9044516988gmail-gpro0wi8 yiv9044516988gmail-py34i1dx" href="https://amzn.to/3S6VX4n?fbclid=IwAR3HEbIAUM1C5yhNLUPF10sWLxjH39r_80Zxj-WIRev3EkUbKWnXbE-csjY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; color: #196ad4; display: inline; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" tabindex="0" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3S6VX4n</a></div><div style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">FREE to read in Kindle Unlimited! </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div>I Love Story Timehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02323170102021133194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350104402182780279.post-68214404131436436622022-07-15T05:00:00.001-07:002022-07-15T05:00:00.168-07:00***Review Tour!*** THE BOSS PROJECT by Vi Keeland<br />

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview.</span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, technically, I’d met him twenty minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought… Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to <i>go sniff my armpit</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, so maybe I hadn’t exactly been changing when he walked in on me. In my defense, I’d been stuck on a hot train for two hours and wanted to make sure I didn’t smell.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I obviously didn’t expect to get the job. But somehow an invitation to a second interview arrived in my inbox.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before I left, I asked to see Merrick. I needed to know why I was even in consideration after our disastrous start.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Turned out, Merrick only wanted to hire me because I was the <i>least</i> competent candidate. It seemed his board was making him fill the position, against his wishes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I didn’t really want to work in a place where my boss expected me to fail. But I figured maybe I’d enjoy proving him wrong. It was a little thing I dubbed the <i>boss project</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I wasn’t prepared for was that there would be <i>other</i> things I’d enjoy doing to Merrick Crawford.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Getting involved with the boss wasn’t the smartest choice.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But you know what they say about choices: Some we regret, some we are proud of. I just had no idea where this one was going to land.</div></span>

She is a 1-click author for me. I know I’m going to enjoy it and so I figure, why bother? Well, she got me this time! I was not expecting to cry! And boy did I ever!
I fell in love with the hero from the start. I can’t get enough of a hot, sexy, alpha in a suit. I think Christian Grey set that stage for me and I’ve been loving the show ever since. Merrick Crawford is gorgeous, successful, and dominating. He is quick witted and has a delicious, filthy mouth. I loved every minute of it! What completely killed me though was his vulnerability. I was done. A mess. His story gutted me.
I have enjoyed all of Vi’s stories, but The Boss Project is most definitely one of my favorites. This heart felt romance has it all. A sexy hero, a strong heroine, humor, heat, and lots of heart. I highly recommend. Merrick and Evie forever!

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview.</span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, technically, I’d met him twenty minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought… Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to <i>go sniff my armpit</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, so maybe I hadn’t exactly been changing when he walked in on me. In my defense, I’d been stuck on a hot train for two hours and wanted to make sure I didn’t smell.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I obviously didn’t expect to get the job. But somehow an invitation to a second interview arrived in my inbox.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before I left, I asked to see Merrick. I needed to know why I was even in consideration after our disastrous start.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Turned out, Merrick only wanted to hire me because I was the <i>least</i> competent candidate. It seemed his board was making him fill the position, against his wishes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I didn’t really want to work in a place where my boss expected me to fail. But I figured maybe I’d enjoy proving him wrong. It was a little thing I dubbed the <i>boss project</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I wasn’t prepared for was that there would be <i>other</i> things I’d enjoy doing to Merrick Crawford.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Getting involved with the boss wasn’t the smartest choice.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But you know what they say about choices: Some we regret, some we are proud of. I just had no idea where this one was going to land.</div></span>

She is a 1-click author for me. I know I’m going to enjoy it and so I figure, why bother? Well, she got me this time! I was not expecting to cry! And boy did I ever!
I fell in love with the hero from the start. I can’t get enough of a hot, sexy, alpha in a suit. I think Christian Grey set that stage for me and I’ve been loving the show ever since. Merrick Crawford is gorgeous, successful, and dominating. He is quick witted and has a delicious, filthy mouth. I loved every minute of it! What completely killed me though was his vulnerability. I was done. A mess. His story gutted me.
I have enjoyed all of Vi’s stories, but The Boss Project is most definitely one of my favorites. This heart felt romance has it all. A sexy hero, a strong heroine, humor, heat, and lots of heart. I highly recommend. Merrick and Evie forever!

I already gave my input to Joan. HR is holding second-round interviews and will let me know what they think when they’re done.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Apparently one of the candidates asked if she could have a minute with you after her appointment with HR. But her meeting is starting now, and I know you don’t like anything on your schedule during trading hours.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Which candidate?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Evie Vaughn.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I leaned back in my chair with a chuckle. “Sure. Why not?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She nodded. “I’ll let her know.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Will lifted his chin after Andrea shut the door. “What was that little grin about?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“One of the candidates for the stress therapist job is <i>interesting</i>, to say the least.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“In what way?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Her first-interview appointment wasn’t until five one day last week, so when the market closed, I ran downstairs to Paloma to pick up a suit I’d bought and had tailored. After I left the store, I thought I’d forgotten my cell phone in the fitting room, so I went back to check. When I opened the door, I walked in on a woman.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“I hate those places that have one fitting room for both men and women.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Actually, this place has separate ones. The woman was just in the men’s room. But that’s not the best part. When I walked in, she was half undressed…and smelling her armpit.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Will’s brows shot up. “Come again?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“You heard me right. Anyway, a few minutes later, my five o’clock appointment walks in, and it’s her. The woman from the fitting room.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The pit sniffer? Get the hell out of here. What did you do?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Nothing. I played it off like I didn’t recognize her, though she definitely recognized me. I could see her squirming.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Shit like this only happens to you, my friend. So what went down? How did the interview go?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“She was the least-qualified candidate. I don’t even know how her resumé made it into the group that got called for interviews.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Yet she’s back here today for a second interview?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“She is, indeed.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Will shook his head. “What am I missing?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“When I got home that night, I started thinking about how the board is shoving this position down my throat. They mandated that I hire someone, not that the person be competent.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Will smiled. “Genius.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I shook my head. “I need my people to be focused and ruthless while they’re here—not getting in touch with their emotions.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“I hear you.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As we finished lunch, Andrea returned and knocked. Evie Vaughn stood right behind her. Her wavy blond hair was up today, and she wore a simple black skirt and jacket with a red blouse underneath, giving her the sexy-librarian look every male fantasizes about at least once in his life. I tried to ignore the stir seeing her caused in me and forced my gaze down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Andrea peeked her head in the door. “Do you need more time?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I looked at Will. “We need to discuss anything else?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">He shook his head. “Not that I can think of. I’ll get the Endicott buy order placed as soon as it hits forty a share.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Good.” I turned my attention to Andrea. “Please show Ms. Vaughn in.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Will left, tossing me a smirk over his shoulder as he passed Evie.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the door shut, she took a few steps forward, then hesitated. “Thank you for seeing me.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I nodded and gestured to the guest chairs on the other side of my desk. “Have a seat.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Your assistant mentioned you don’t usually take appointments while the market is open.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“I don’t.” Leaning back, I tented my fingers. “What can I do for you, Ms. Vaughn?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“It’s Evie, please. And…well, I was hoping you could clear something up for me.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“What would that be?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Why am I here? For a second interview, I mean. You made it pretty clear during the first one that you didn’t think I had the right experience for the position, and I didn’t exactly make a winning first impression in that fitting room. So…why am I here again?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I folded my arms across my chest and deliberated how to answer. The politically correct and professional response would’ve been to say I’d reconsidered based on how she’d handled herself during the interview. But I’d never been accused of being politically correct or professional.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Are you sure you want the real answer? Sometimes it’s better not to know and just accept the outcome.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She folded her arms across her chest, mimicking my posture. “Maybe, but I’d like to know anyway.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I liked her spunk. It was a challenge to keep myself from smiling. “You were invited back because you are the least qualified of all of the people we interviewed.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her face fell, and I felt a tinge of guilt, even though she’d said she wanted the truth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Why would you do that?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Because hiring an in-house stress coach wasn’t my idea. My board of directors is forcing my hand.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Is it a problem because it wasn’t your idea?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“I employ a hundred-and-twenty-five people whose jobs are to give me ideas.” I shook my head. “No, I don’t have an authority issue, Ms. Vaughn.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">She pursed her lips. “Doctor—it’s <i>Doctor</i> Vaughn. I prefer to be called Evie, but if you insist on using formal etiquette, you might as well use my proper title. I hold a PhD in clinical psychology.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I couldn’t hold back the smile that time. I nodded. “Fine. No, I don’t have authority issues, Doctor Vaughn.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“So you’re against the position, in general, and you wanted to hire the worst person to prove a point?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I nodded once. “You could say that.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Are you against therapy?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“I believe some people can benefit from therapy.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Some people? But not your employees? Do you believe your employees don’t have any stress in the workplace?”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“This is Wall Street, Ms.—Doctor Vaughn. If it weren’t a stressful job, my average trader wouldn’t earn seven figures.

It turns out, there are fathomless levels of pain, like a winding labyrinth of doors leading to shadowy figures and long-forgotten secrets. The kind of inescapable descent into madness that twists nightmares into reality.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What lies at the end of this obscure path I have yet to discover, but where it begins, is a place called Infernium. An asylum, feared by those in Nightshade and untrodden by the angels who’ve forsaken its many lost souls.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some say it’s the gateway to hell.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Others believe it’s where you go when the last flicker of hope dies out.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For me, it’s where I’ve damned myself for eternity–my penance for a crime against the heavens, and home to the demons that claw at my mind.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yet, not even they stand a chance against my dark angel, Jericho. He fears nothing. Except losing me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The longer I remain trapped, though, the stronger this darkness inside of me grows. A duality dividing my heart between love and revenge.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And, soon, saving me may no longer be an option.</div></span><div><div>

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">From Wall Street Journal bestselling author L.J. Shen comes an enemies-to-lovers romance about the fine line between seeking revenge and finding love.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">When she was young, Arya Roth became best friends with her housekeeper’s son. Soon, friendship turned to young love, and when Arya dared him to kiss her, a chain reaction of disastrous events led to the boy being sent away and out of Arya’s life.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Now, two decades later, Arya is an on-the-rise publicist with her beloved father as one of her biggest clients. So when her father is sued by a former employee, Arya sets out to prove that her father is not the monster he is accused of being. The only problem is the attorney who is determined to destroy her father’s good name. Christian Miller is charming, ambitious, and devilishly good looking, and Arya has no idea he is that same boy who kissed her all those years ago.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Past and present collide as Arya falls hard for Christian. But when she finds out who he really is and about his obsession with getting revenge on her father, can she choose love over family?</p>

Shen! I love a story that has an intriguing storyline, a sexy alpha, and a sassy heroine. This book had it all! The sexual tension was off the charts and the witty banter was so much fun. I could not stop smiling! I could not get enough of the chemistry between Christian and Arya. From the moment they met, I knew I was in for one hell of a ride. These two had me hooked and addicted to every word. I devoured this book! I simply adore this author's work and I can't wait for her next release!</div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;">♥ Review by Lys</div></span></div>

<b>Blurb</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">
<span>“I’ll take them!”</span>
<span>That’s what I tell the social worker when my pre-k student and his baby brother need an emergency foster placement. I’ll do anything to keep the brothers from being split up. But my apartment’s flooded and there’s only one house I can take them to on such short notice…his.</span>
<span>Knox Daniels, my older brother’s best friend, offers his new place without hesitation. He’s not moving back to our tiny town until next month—that’s when all our hotshot firefighters are returning for their one and only chance to rebuild our fathers’ fallen, iconic crew.</span>
<span>It doesn’t matter that I’ve been silently in love with Knox since we were kids. It can’t matter that we pretend that reckless prom night kiss never happened. It won’t matter that my feelings for him could destroy his lifelong friendship with my brother and threaten the certification of their hotshot crew. Because I’ll be out of his house long before he gets back.</span>
<span>Except Knox just walked in…a month early. And the icing on this awkward cake? He’s gorgeous as always and I’m covered in baby puke. He takes one look at the boys and tells me we can make this work—</span>

The storyline, the characters... all of it. The story didn't unfold like I thought it would and THAT is what made it that much better. I really enjoyed Knox and Harper's journey to happy ever after. I just adore this Legacy family.

But time and time again, we were shown that fate had no intention of giving that to us.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Remi and I were soulmates. Plain and simple. Our love should have died in the depths of our darkness, but the sun still exists even when it’s not shining.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">The secrets of our past threatened to destroy us at every turn, but for Remi, I would never stop fighting for our future.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">The world took everything from us.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">And we would stop at nothing until we took it all back—forever.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-4386" height="640" src="https://cattyjane2.files.wordpress.com/2022/03/someday-forever-binge-an.jpg?w=1024" width="640" /></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Fall in love today!</strong></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Amazon: https://amzn.to/3FMcUte</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Amazon Worldwide: http://mybook.to/SomedayForever</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Start the trilogy today!</strong></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;"><strong>FREE in Kindle Unlimited</strong></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Amazon: https://amzn.to/3u82l1L</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Amazon Worldwide: http://mybook.to/SomebodySomeone</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Excerpt from The Difference Between Somebody and Someone</strong></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">“Sorry, is my mood killing your buzz?” I asked.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Her blue eyes sparkled in the glow of the airplane reading light. “It really is.”</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">I shook my head and went back to mindlessly flipping the pages of a magazine I’d bought at the terminal back in Colorado. I’d picked it up with hopes it would be a distraction from the cyclone raging within me on our way back to Atlanta. The minute she ordered that drink, I’d known it was a lost cause.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Her hand came across the armrest and landed on my thigh. “Bowen, stop. It’s not a big deal.”</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">It was the truth. Compared to everything we’d been through, our house could have been swallowed by a sinkhole and it wouldn’t have been considered a big deal.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Honest to God, I was lucky to still have her at all. It had only been nine months since we’d met, but we’d lived a thousand lives in that time. Unfortunately, that also meant we’d died almost as many deaths.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Terrifying, tortuous, agony-filled deaths.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">We’d also found love though—immeasurable amounts of it.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">I stared down at her engagement ring. I’d cashed out a huge chunk of my savings account and still had to open a line of credit with the jewelry store to buy the three-karat princess-cut ring. The payment was roughly the same as I paid for my truck each month, but the tears in her eyes as she’d sat in her hospital bed, clutching it to her chest the day I proposed, made it all worth it.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">She was worth it. Every day, every tear, every worry-filled minute shaved off my life.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">I’d do it all again.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">If only I weren’t so helpless to save her. I loved that woman. Whole heart. Whole soul. Bend me, break me, crack me open and she would have been there. No matter how bad it got, she was always a part of me.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">I wasn’t sure anymore if she could say the same.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">“Bowen,” she whispered, just as she’d done so many times before. It was a plea. One she knew I’d answer no matter the situation. No matter how mad I got. No matter how much I feared losing her again.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">My gaze instinctively lifted to hers.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">She smiled and the sight caused an ache in my chest. It was a lie.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">God, I missed her smile.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">“Baby, I’m okay.” She tilted her head to her drink. “I hate flying. That’s all this is.”</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">That was a lie too.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">My shoulders fell and a loud breath tore from my burning lungs, but I let myself pretend, my mind going back to a time when it could have been the truth.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">I thought of the nights we’d shared multiple bottles of wine and made love, laughing and moaning under the covers until the sun crept across the horizon. She’d rested peacefully in my arms. No nightmares. No crying in her sleep. No insomnia. Just even breaths, her head on my shoulder, and her body wound around mine so tightly it was like a second skin.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">But that was the past.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">The unreachable, insurmountable past.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">The plane jerked, forcing me back to the present.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">“Shit.” She moved her hand off my thigh to grasp her drink as it sloshed all over her. “Crap, crap, crap,” she chanted, using a cocktail napkin to dry the dark-red pool of tomato juice on her white pants.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">For a moment, I sat there and watched her struggle. It wasn’t the most chivalrous thing to do, but I was all out of grand gestures.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">She unbuckled her seat belt and lurched to her feet, her phone along with a handful of ice cubes from her lap falling to the floor. “Damn, this is going to leave a huge stain.”</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">The plane jerked again and she stumbled forward, crashing into the seat in front of her before I could catch her arm.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">“Dammit, sit down before you get hurt.”</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">Ignoring me, she bent over to fish her phone from under the seat. “Hit the button for the flight attendant. I need some club soda and a lemon. STAT.”</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">“No, what you need is to sit down.”</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">I gave her arm a tug and dragged her down to the seat. Using the tip of my boot, I swept her phone toward her. Aforementioned lack of chivalry aside, I was no contortionist; leaning over to pick it up was out of the question.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">She folded her upper body over my lap and blindly patted around the floor. I fought the urge to run my fingers through the back of her hair. In the beginning, it would have been a no-brainer. I’d have curled forward and suggestively whispered in her ear, “Since you’re already down there…”</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">She would have grinned up at me, her whole face filled with mischief as she traced a finger over my zipper, ignoring anyone who dared to watch her as she replied, “You mean down here?”</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">I’d have grabbed her hand and made her stop even though I was the one who had started it. She had no filter. She always took it one step too far. I’d loved that about her when we’d first met. It was fresh and exciting, a far cry from the stuffy women I’d dated in the past.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">But now, she was in the past too.</figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;">We were in the past.</figure></blockquote><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeR4wwMLRhSHroJFJThHRIDElUty6pB9hkFjSgAitMRNSLsLMZqLbWLNHHTsySxhaqf-jPoA5my7nGAzpWLrgAsIhLvxq_uPJYvRFFZzh7GlYt_WmweMQL2a3LVpL2V1SJPfjqHR6fZ0RIVznp5zxcsIQK_RprrnlOfHc_5eRwJJRQipHlB995kw/s917/IMG_5774.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="917" height="89" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeR4wwMLRhSHroJFJThHRIDElUty6pB9hkFjSgAitMRNSLsLMZqLbWLNHHTsySxhaqf-jPoA5my7nGAzpWLrgAsIhLvxq_uPJYvRFFZzh7GlYt_WmweMQL2a3LVpL2V1SJPfjqHR6fZ0RIVznp5zxcsIQK_RprrnlOfHc_5eRwJJRQipHlB995kw/s320/IMG_5774.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">WHOA!

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Synopsis</strong></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a close proximity, single-parent stand-alone romance about a woman on the run and the man who will do anything to save her…</em></strong></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Jud Lawson found me stranded in the rain.</strong></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Broken down on the side of the road in a deserted neighborhood with my piece of crap car. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">I wasn’t looking for a hero, and definitely not one who looks like him.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">An obscenely hot, mountain-of-a-man who screams danger.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">But I have little choice other than climbing onto the back of his bike.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>One look at Salem Aguilar, and I’m hooked. </strong></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">The girl is devastation wrapped in a black, seductive bow. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">A knockout. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">A dream. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Turns out, she needs a job, and I need the help. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Now I have a vixen strutting around my shop, and I’m the fool who’s itching to reach out and take what he can’t have. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>But neither of us can ignore the burning attraction. </strong></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">The fire that leads to a kiss. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">A kiss that has us falling into my bed. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">The connection that has me wanting the one thing I’d never thought I could have again.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Because monsters like me don’t deserve love. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Only Salem has a secret, too. </strong></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">She’s been running for years, and her past just caught up to us… </div>

Jackson! I enjoy reading this authors books because 1. There is always a hot alpha hero. 2. Her heroines are strong women. 3. The heat factor is off the charts. 4. I love a storyline with a little danger. 5. Her writing style engages me in a way most authors don’t.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">I fell in love with Trent in book 1, but Jud did not disappoint! His and Salem’s story was fun and thrilling to read. It was quite a page turner and that ending was epic!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">I adore these Lawson brothers and I’m dying for Logan’s story next. His character is so different than that of Trent’s and Jud’s, so I’m eager to read what A.L. brings us next. But before you can move on with me with Logan, you must meet Trent and Jud first!</span></div><br /></div>

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">The world gave me everything.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">After surviving a plane crash, I was lucky to be alive. It was a harsh truth, but one that changed my perspective on how fragile life could be.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">So when a fellow survivor caught my eye, I owed it to myself to take a chance and follow my heart.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Bowen Michaels was guarded and broody, but I saw through his well-formed armor. Much like me, he was broken and lost, but together we found our way through the darkness.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">For a brief moment, wrapped in his arms, it felt like maybe he was right about fate and we’d been destined to find each other all along.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But when buried secrets of the past erupt, igniting us both, it was hard to believe we’d been fated for anything other than failure.</p>

<p></p><div style="text-align: center;">“Sorry, is my mood killing your buzz?” I asked.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Her blue eyes sparkled in the glow of the airplane reading light. “It really is.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">I shook my head and went back to mindlessly flipping the pages of a magazine I’d bought at the terminal back in Colorado. I’d picked it up with hopes it would be a distraction from the cyclone raging within me on our way back to Atlanta. The minute she ordered that drink, I’d known it was a lost cause.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Her hand came across the armrest and landed on my thigh. “Bowen, stop. It’s not a big deal.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was the truth. Compared to everything we’d been through, our house could have been swallowed by a sinkhole and it wouldn’t have been considered a big deal.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Honest to God, I was lucky to still have her at all. It had only been nine months since we’d met, but we’d lived a thousand lives in that time. Unfortunately, that also meant we’d died almost as many deaths.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Terrifying, tortuous, agony-filled deaths.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We’d also found love though—immeasurable amounts of it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I stared down at her engagement ring. I’d cashed out a huge chunk of my savings account and still had to open a line of credit with the jewelry store to buy the three-karat princess-cut ring. The payment was roughly the same as I paid for my truck each month, but the tears in her eyes as she’d sat in her hospital bed, clutching it to her chest the day I proposed, made it all worth it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She was worth it. Every day, every tear, every worry-filled minute shaved off my life.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I’d do it all again.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If only I weren’t so helpless to save her. I loved that woman. Whole heart. Whole soul. Bend me, break me, crack me open and she would have been there. No matter how bad it got, she was always a part of me.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wasn’t sure anymore if she could say the same.</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Bowen,” she whispered, just as she’d done so many times before. It was a plea. One she knew I’d answer no matter the situation. No matter how mad I got. No matter how much I feared losing her again.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My gaze instinctively lifted to hers.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She smiled and the sight caused an ache in my chest. It was a lie.</div><div style="text-align: center;">God, I missed her smile.</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Baby, I’m okay.” She tilted her head to her drink. “I hate flying. That’s all this is.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">That was a lie too.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My shoulders fell and a loud breath tore from my burning lungs, but I let myself pretend, my mind going back to a time when it could have been the truth.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I thought of the nights we’d shared multiple bottles of wine and made love, laughing and moaning under the covers until the sun crept across the horizon. She’d rested peacefully in my arms. No nightmares. No crying in her sleep. No insomnia. Just even breaths, her head on my shoulder, and her body wound around mine so tightly it was like a second skin.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But that was the past.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The unreachable, insurmountable past.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The plane jerked, forcing me back to the present.</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Shit.” She moved her hand off my thigh to grasp her drink as it sloshed all over her. “Crap, crap, crap,” she chanted, using a cocktail napkin to dry the dark-red pool of tomato juice on her white pants.</div><div style="text-align: center;">For a moment, I sat there and watched her struggle. It wasn’t the most chivalrous thing to do, but I was all out of grand gestures.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She unbuckled her seat belt and lurched to her feet, her phone along with a handful of ice cubes from her lap falling to the floor. “Damn, this is going to leave a huge stain.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">The plane jerked again and she stumbled forward, crashing into the seat in front of her before I could catch her arm.</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Dammit, sit down before you get hurt.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ignoring me, she bent over to fish her phone from under the seat. “Hit the button for the flight attendant. I need some club soda and a lemon. STAT.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">“No, what you need is to sit down.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">I gave her arm a tug and dragged her down to the seat. Using the tip of my boot, I swept her phone toward her. Aforementioned lack of chivalry aside, I was no contortionist; leaning over to pick it up was out of the question.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She folded her upper body over my lap and blindly patted around the floor. I fought the urge to run my fingers through the back of her hair. In the beginning, it would have been a no-brainer. I’d have curled forward and suggestively whispered in her ear, “Since you’re already down there…”</div><div style="text-align: center;">She would have grinned up at me, her whole face filled with mischief as she traced a finger over my zipper, ignoring anyone who dared to watch her as she replied, “You mean down here?”</div><div style="text-align: center;">I’d have grabbed her hand and made her stop even though I was the one who had started it. She had no filter. She always took it one step too far. I’d loved that about her when we’d first met. It was fresh and exciting, a far cry from the stuffy women I’d dated in the past.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But now, she was in the past too.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We were in the past.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEyWFktLpsIO_pd7OLhddpITXCDvLAjh8dUFSrI7dtfOZg8Q6rxT_2c1Ob4bOWXC5mnp8tcxjjomFRx3TmFibSOBonDLXIue_syUloB4fkOnLgXqGKDreTmeibgPLtaHfLdt0AbiWk-4q0dU0Urk1pyeK3sYmy7R-M9Wl7Octs7WLZtLxrd4yL4g=s917" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="917" height="89" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEyWFktLpsIO_pd7OLhddpITXCDvLAjh8dUFSrI7dtfOZg8Q6rxT_2c1Ob4bOWXC5mnp8tcxjjomFRx3TmFibSOBonDLXIue_syUloB4fkOnLgXqGKDreTmeibgPLtaHfLdt0AbiWk-4q0dU0Urk1pyeK3sYmy7R-M9Wl7Octs7WLZtLxrd4yL4g=s320" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">My heart!

I absolutely LOVE her stories. They are so relatable and I really enjoy how her characters are surviving real world problems. I adored Troy and Aspyn. I LOVED the banter between them. Their story gave my butterflies, tears, and bouts of laughter. There is nothing I like more than a story that takes me on a rollercoaster of emotions and leaves me with a full heart. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Assignment did not disappoint!</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

I laughed to myself. <i>If only these dating app boys could see me in this mask and robe.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I sipped my tea and began to alternate scrolling with shoveling unsweetened cacao nibs into my mouth.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After several minutes of swiping through, I suddenly stopped chewing at the sight of a familiar pair of pearly whites.</div><i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>I know those teeth.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>I know that man.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Oh God.</i></div></i><div style="text-align: justify;">Staring me in the face was none other than Troy Serrano.</div><i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Holy crap.</i></div></i><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Troy, 29</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;">I tossed my phone as if it were infected with a contagious virus.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A few seconds later, I picked it back up and stared at his profile picture. I wouldn’t have imagined Troy needed to use a dating app, but being new to town again, maybe he felt like it was the easiest way to meet people. Of course, the app had sent him my way in part because we were geographically close to each other. I wanted to block him, but I wasn’t sure exactly how to do that. I’d never had to block anyone from seeing my profile before. But there was no way I wanted him to notice me on here. If he’d come up as an option for me, surely the app would present me to <i>him</i> at some point. My stomach sank. I’d figure out how to block him right after I thoroughly scrutinized his profile.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The photos he’d chosen were, of course, really good. But could he even take a bad photo with that face and f*ck-me hair? In one, he wore a form-fitting black sweater and leaned up against a brick wall. In another, he held up a fish he’d caught, with his chiseled abs on display.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then I scrolled down to the section where you were supposed to describe yourself. Whereas most men write a simple paragraph, Troy had written an obituary.</div><i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>God, what the hell is this?</i></div></i><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Financial advisor Troy S.’s love of life will live on through his many friends who will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives to the fullest.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Born in Meadowbrook, New Jersey, to a single father who broke his ass raising him, Troy learned firsthand what it meant to work hard. On his own, though, he figured out that working hard meant you should play harder.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Troy attended the University of Florida for both his undergraduate degree and Masters in Business Administration. (Go Gators!) After several years of partying it up, Troy decided to take life seriously for once as he embarked on a career as one of the premier financial advisors in the Pacific Northwest. Troy shared his passion for numbers with his many happy clients.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Troy. He was equally happy Netflix-and-chilling as he was ziplining in Costa Rica. On weekends, Troy often spent time teaching himself how to play the guitar. He loved to explore local hiking trails and struck up conversations with strangers in many of Seattle’s coffee shops, charming people with his charisma and verve for life.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>He had a remarkable ability to see the silver lining in everything. His positive personality was contagious to everyone he met. Troy is survived by his father, grandfather, and one needy cat.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Lucky for you, all of the above is mostly true except that Troy’s not actually dead. He’s very much alive and eager to see if you’re a match.</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Lordy.</i></div></i><div style="text-align: justify;">My phone vibrated, scaring the living hell out of me. It was a text from Jasmine, making sure I’d gotten home okay. But then the screen changed. <i>Wait, what?</i> When my hand jerked, I’d accidentally swiped <i>right</i> on Troy’s profile. I wouldn’t have even realized this were it not for the words: <i>It’s a match!</i></div><i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>What?</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Oh no.</i></div></i><i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>No. No. No.</i></div></i><div style="text-align: justify;">If we matched, that meant one thing: Troy had previously swiped right on me. <i>Ugh!</i> How long had he known I was on here?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I threw the phone again, as if it were infected with yet another dangerous virus.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For about a minute, I just sat in a panic, my hands wrapped around my face.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then I picked up the phone to try to undo the action. But before I could find the information, a notification popped up. Troy had sent me a direct message through the app.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My heart pounded in my chest. I clicked on it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Troy: Well, well, well. What do we have here?</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I couldn’t type fast enough.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Aspyn: We have nothing here. I accidentally swiped right on your profile.

How exactly does that happen? Accidentally swiping right?</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I realized how ridiculous that sounded. But it was the damn truth! Figures the stupidest thing ever would happen to me, and I’d never be able to convince him it was true.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Aspyn: My phone vibrated and startled me. I happened to be looking at your profile at the time.</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Troy: Oh, that explains it. Phones vibrating can be quite traumatic.</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I blew a frustrated breath toward my forehead.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Aspyn: You don’t have to believe me, but it’s the truth.</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Troy: Why were you looking at my profile?</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Aspyn: Because this stupid app force fed it to me.</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Troy: So, were you looking at my pictures, thinking: “Damn, he’s a handsome sonofabitch.

I felt bad for you. Let’s talk about your bio, though.</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I looked up and screamed at the ceiling. My voice echoed throughout the house.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Aspyn: Let’s not.</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Troy: Boring.

<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">After surviving a plane crash, I was lucky to be alive. It was a harsh truth, but one that changed my perspective on how fragile life could be.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">So when a fellow survivor caught my eye, I owed it to myself to take a chance and follow my heart.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">Bowen Michaels was guarded and broody, but I saw through his well-formed armor. Much like me, he was broken and lost, but together we found our way through the darkness.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">For a brief moment, wrapped in his arms, it felt like maybe he was right about fate and we’d been destined to find each other all along.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;">But when buried secrets of the past erupt, igniting us both, it was hard to believe we’d been fated for anything other than failure.</p>

Best of all, he fears the one thing she dreads the most: getting hitched.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Emmabelle figures it’s a no-brainer when Devon offers his services—sperm and involvement in her future child’s life.</div><div style="text-align: center;">What begins as an innocent, modern-family arrangement, quickly erodes into a web of lies, dark pasts, and unfurled secrets.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Inside this chaos, Emmabelle and Devon are forced to face the awful truth—they are capable of love.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Even worse, they might feel it toward each other.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-3837" height="640" src="https://cattyjane2.files.wordpress.com/2022/02/now-live-1.jpeg?w=1024" width="640" /></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Fall in love with Emmabelle and Devon FREE in Kindle Unlimited today!</strong></div></strong><div style="text-align: center;">Amazon: https://amzn.to/3G5rgoY</div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazon Worldwide: http://mybook.to/TheRake</div><div style="text-align: center;">Add The Rake to Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3Dp9J9H</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Excerpt</strong></div></strong><div style="text-align: center;">g. It annoyed me. How confident he was. How little he spoke, and how much he conveyed with the few words he used.</div><div style="text-align: center;">“W</div><div style="text-align: center;">One of the good things about Devon Whitehall (and unfortunately, there were many) was that he never took himself seriously. After I had shamefully banished him from my bed, he had stopped calling me. The next time we’d met, however, at a Christmas party, he had hugged me warmly, asked how I was doing, and even showed interest in investing in my club. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He’d behaved as if nothing happened. And to him I guess nothing had. I didn’t know why Devon had never married, but I suspected he suffered from the same relationship-phobia I was prone to. Over the years, I’d watched him parade one woman after another. They were all leggy, stylish, and held degrees in subjects I could hardly pronounce. </div><div style="text-align: center;">They also had the shelf life of an avocado. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Devon never tried to get with me again but remained wryly fond of me, the way you were fond of the childhood blanket you used to snuggle with but would not be caught dead in the same room with it anymore. These days, he made me feel chronically undesirable. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“What’s got your knickers in such a twist?” he asked, running his fingers through his thick hair. Streaks of cool wheat and gold. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I wiped my eyes quickly. “Go away, Whitehall.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Darling girl, your chances of evacuating an Englishman from a bar on a Friday afternoon are slim to none. Any requests I can actually fulfill?” The casual benevolence rolling off of him made me nauseous. No one was supposed to be <em>that</em> perfect. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“Die in hell?” I pressed my forehead to the cool bar.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn’t mean it. Devon had only ever given me good conversation, compliments, and orgasms. But I was really upset. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He slipped onto the stool beside me, flicking his wrist to check his Rolex. I knew he wouldn’t answer me. Sometimes, he treated me like an eight-year-old. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Our drinks arrived. He pushed the Tom Collins my way, handing my glass of chardonnay back to the bartender quietly. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“Here, now. This’ll make you feel better. And then significantly worse. But since I won’t be there to deal with the consequences…” He gave a careless shrug.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I took a sip and shook my head.</div><div style="text-align: center;">“I’m not good company right now. You’d have a better time striking up conversation with the bartender or one of the tourists.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Darling, you’re barely civilized, and still better company than anyone in this zip code.” He gave my hand a quick but warm squeeze. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“Why are you nice to me?” I demanded.</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Why not?” Again, he sounded completely at ease. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“I’ve been nothing but horrible to you in the past.” </div><div style="text-align: center;">I thought about the night I threw him out of my apartment, panicked that he’d somehow find a crack in my heart, pry it open, and sneak into it. The fact that he was here, pragmatic and unbothered, just proved that he had heartbreak written all over him. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“That’s not how I remember our brief but joyous history.” He sipped his Stinger. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“I kicked you out.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">“My arse had suffered worse.” He offered a dismissive flick of his wrist. He had nice hands. He had nice <em>everything</em>. “No need to take it personally.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">“What <em>do</em> you take personally?”</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Not many things in life, to be honest.” He frowned, giving it genuine thought. “Corporate taxes, perhaps? It’s essentially double-taxation, an outrageous concept, you must admit.” </div><div style="text-align: center;">I blinked slowly at him, wondering if I was beginning to see a hint of imperfection in the man everyone looked up to. Under the layers of manners and chiseled looks was, I suspected, a truly odd man. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“You care about taxes, but not that I humiliated you?” I challenged.</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Emmabelle, love.” He gave me a smile that would make ice melt. “Humiliation is a feeling. One must submit to it in order to experience it. You’ve never humiliated me. Was I disappointed that our affair had run its course faster than I had wanted it to? Sure. But it was your right to end things at any given moment. Now tell me what happened,” Devon coaxed. </div><div style="text-align: center;">His accent seemed to have a direct line to that place between my legs. He sounded like Benedict Cumberbatch reading an erotic audiobook. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“No.”</div><div style="text-align: center;">He studied me coolly, waiting. It annoyed me. How confident he was. How little he spoke, and how much he conveyed with the few words he used. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“What do you want? We’re complete strangers.” My tone was matter-of-fact. </div><div style="text-align: center;">“I reject that framing.” He slid a leaf of mint decorating his glass along his tongue. It disappeared in his mouth. “I know every inch and curve of your body.”</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjuK9-ODTBMEtp4YnOuDuxYTRfgWugowbbE0o6QhPCjviK7lpLx-mmMWiZ0XVrGJEd20pFYLN-qDsuwP8kY6L9xJeBxNRJKUcnURT7lrOal6ljcafrr8ZSIlK3sgYfOEQJc0SD17tOGm8RWemLHxYJXStit3aknBP241-qniIUiUBgeqIDVSe6x3g=s917" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="917" height="89" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjuK9-ODTBMEtp4YnOuDuxYTRfgWugowbbE0o6QhPCjviK7lpLx-mmMWiZ0XVrGJEd20pFYLN-qDsuwP8kY6L9xJeBxNRJKUcnURT7lrOal6ljcafrr8ZSIlK3sgYfOEQJc0SD17tOGm8RWemLHxYJXStit3aknBP241-qniIUiUBgeqIDVSe6x3g=s320" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">Holy hotness, this book was fire! I absolutely loved this story! I have devoured each of the Boston Belles novels, but I admit this one is my favorite. I could not get enough of Devon and Belle and their witty dialogue. There were so many times I choked on my coffee or snorted my water. I really enjoy a good laugh and these two were hilarious! Every good book needs humor, heart, and heat. The Rake did not disappoint! This was a bittersweet read for me as I know this is the last in the series. Hunter, Cillian, Sam, and Devon have all been magnificent, each in their own way.

<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center"></p><div style="text-align: center;">Emmabelle Penrose has cruised through life never needing a man, a plan that has worked stunningly well until about five minutes ago, when she decided she must have a baby.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Devon Whitehall is 6’2” of premium DNA, financial security, and British royal titles. Best of all, he fears the one thing she dreads the most: getting hitched.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Emmabelle figures it’s a no-brainer when Devon offers his services—sperm and involvement in her future child’s life.</div><div style="text-align: center;">What begins as an innocent, modern-family arrangement, quickly erodes into a web of lies, dark pasts, and unfurled secrets.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Inside this chaos, Emmabelle and Devon are forced to face the awful truth—they are capable of love.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Even worse, they might feel it toward each other.</div><p></p>

I absolutely loved this story! I have devoured each of the Boston Belles novels, but I admit this one is my favorite. I could not get enough of Devon and Belle and their witty dialogue. There were so many times I choked on my coffee or snorted my water. I really enjoy a good laugh and these two were hilarious! Every good book needs humor, heart, and heat. The Rake did not disappoint! This was a bittersweet read for me as I know this is the last in the series. Hunter, Cillian, Sam, and Devon have all been magnificent, each in their own way. Though I hate to say goodbye to these amazing, delicious characters, I look forward to what’s next from the talented, LJ Shen.</span></div>

<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"left"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-left"></p><div style="text-align: center;">Swish, swish.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The windshield wipers were busy at work this morning. It’d been raining since late the night before, and now there was just a whole dreary feel to the day. Dark and gloomy, matching my mood. It was perfect.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Swish, swish.</div><div style="text-align: center;">“Are you nervous, miss?”</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wasn’t responding, because this isn’t how things were supposed to be. I wasn’t supposed to wake up in the middle of the night and find the bed empty. And I wasn’t supposed to have to be escorted by one of our guards down to the apartment building’s gym to find my boyfriend , the guy I loved, the guy who was so not a secret from the entire world anymore, pummeling a boxing bag so hard that his knuckles ripped open every night. It was not right that I had to stand on the side, waiting for him to fight through his haze before he noticed I was there, and then watch as blood dripped from his hands to the floor.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But all of that was happening. Because three weeks after there’d been a kidnapping attempt on me, after he had saved me, everything was just, simply, not okay.</div><div style="text-align: center;">To be more frank, everything was shit. And here I was. In the back of an SUV being driven by one of my two personal bodyguards, to a school that I used to daydream about attending, while my boyfriend, that guy I had come to love so much, was heading into his own personal nightmare. Fitz, my guard, clued in on my state and didn’t ask again, but his eyes were on me . He saw. He more than saw, and I knew I’d be getting a call from Kash about two minutes after the first chance Fitz had a moment to text his boss that I was not okay.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because I wasn’t. Today was the day all my dreams were supposed to come true. Instead, I was a week late going to my graduate program and I wanted to be anywhere except where I was going. And I had no say, because the world found out in a big way I was the daughter of Peter Francis, a tech legend that I’d grown up idolizing until I found out myself, this past summer, that he was also my father.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And then there was my boyfriend, Kash Colello, whose grandfather was one of the richest men in the world, but that came with strings and dangerous alliances with the dark underground of the world. My boyfriend, with his inherited wealth, now that he had come out of the shadows to the world, and whose “coming out” was even bigger than mine because of his connections and his family, was now the ninth wealthiest man in the world.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Life as Peter Francis’s daughter, life as Kash Colello’s girlfriend, was a whole lot different than life had been as Bailey Hayes. There were rules and expectations and lots and lots of people watching you.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So no, I was not okay.</div><p></p>
