Alone in the world, Tae Holmes and her mother April pretty much raised each other, but as Tae starts asking questions about the father she’s never met, April, for the first time in her life, goes silent. To make matters worse, Tae is dangerously close to broke and just manages to avoid financial meltdown when she lands a shiny new contract with an adventure company for athletes with disabilities and wounded warriors.

Her first big fundraiser event falls flat, but what starts out as a terrible, horrible, no-good night turns into something else entirely when Tae finds herself face-to-face with Riggs Copeland. She hasn’t seen the former Marine since their brief fling in high school, and while still intensely drawn to him, she likes her past burned and buried, thank you very much. Hence their friendship pact.

But when April oddly refuses to help Tae track down her father, it’s Riggs who unexpectedly comes to her aid. On a hunt to unlock the past, the two of them find themselves on a wild ride and learn a shocking truth, while also reluctantly bonding in a way neither had seen coming. Now Tae must decide whether she’s going to choose love … or walk away from her own happiness.

 

5 out of 5 stars

The Friendship Pact is the second book in the Sunrise Cove series by Jill Shalvis. This story is about learning from your mistakes, growing and finally making decisions about where you want your life to go. Tae and her mom, April have been a team for a long time. Just the two of them against the world. Sometimes Tae was more of the mom in the relationship, but it works for them. Until Tae finds out her mom might have been lying to her since she was a child. She also runs into Riggs, and old friend from high school and they still have chemistry and sparks. Riggs is going through his own issues, leaving the military, coming home temporarily to help his brother. Tae and Riggs can’t seem to stay away from each other, the pull is just too much. But they both have things going on and don’t realize having someone at your side will ease the burden. Just when everything seems to be settling, the past comes back and shakes up everyone’s lives. Riggs has a big decision to make. Tae has to decide to let her anger go. Will they admit their feelings before it’s too late? I just loved these characters! Not only do we get Tae and Riggs’ story, we also get to see April grow up and take charge of her own life. We get to know Riggs’ brother, Jake and his girlfriend and I loved the interaction between Riggs and Jake. Such brotherly love and anger. All of these characters came from tough backgrounds, but they became better people and worked for what they want. I loved Tae and Riggs’ second chance at love and the fun, witty banter between them. Overall, I laughed, teared up and wanted to smack a few of them! Looking forward to more from the series.

The Ruthless Groom by Monica Murphy is now live!

 

I didn’t plan to marry a reclusive heiress. Lucky for me, I find myself attracted to my beautiful new bride. Our arranged marriage connects two powerful companies. That we’re compatible between the sheets is a bonus, but I didn’t bargain on her ex showing up at the wedding reception uninvited.

That pushed me right over the edge. I protect what’s mine, and Charlotte is now mine, whether she likes it or not. Our honeymoon is a disaster in paradise. I’m angry. She’s resentful. All those swirling emotions explode in the most physical ways. But even as I’m drawn closer to my new wife, there’s still a threat looming out there. Seamus McTiernan is determined to destroy what we’ve created. I won’t let anything tear us apart. He has no idea who he’s dealing with. I will end him. Watch me.

5 out of 5 stars

The Ruthless Groom is the second book in the Arranged Marriage series by Monica Murphy. You can not read as standalone, you need to read the books in order. It’s Perry and Charlotte’s wedding day…
Who they didn’t expect to show up was Charlotte’s ex. Perry wants to trust his new bride more than anything but why would Seamus be at their wedding? He doesn’t want to believe that she has set him up. That he was there to take her away. This marriage may be just a business arrangement to bring two families together but he will not let Seamus take what it is his. Her. A woman who he finds intriguing, beautiful, sexy AF, and addictive. He believes she is all of those things but can he truly trust a Lancaster?
Perry and Charlotte’s relationship is complicated. Very complicated. Charlotte needs to prove to her new husband that she can be trusted. That she is his and only his. Five days. Five days on their honeymoon should show them some clarity or will it just make it more complicated? Feelings were not supposed to be involved in their marriage. All business was the plan. Either way, Perry will end any man who gets in the way. He will end them. Will he get the chance?
Holy hotness!! Damn… So fucking good! I am loving this series. Perry’s alpha side is delicious and swoony. Charlotte is so sweet and surprising. Together they are straight fire but is it enough? No. Trust… that’s what it is all about and I can’t wait for the next book.
Quotes:
He’s not treating me like a delicate doll, and oh God, I like it.
“You’ve ruined me.”
“Good.” I kiss her shoulder. “You needed to be ruined.”
“Don’t ever forget who you belong to. You’re a Constantine now.”

Brielle Davis wakes up with no memory of the last three years and turns to her brother’s best friend, Spencer Cross to help her remember.

 

Help Me Remember by Corinne Michaels is now live!

 

New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels brings you a new small-town, brother’s best friend romance.

In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead, and I am the only eye witness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand that no one give me any information about my life . . . I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter, Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Now we’re a team and our goal is to recover my memories and retrace my past. But each day we spend together, he’s looking at me as more than his friend’s little sister and I find it harder to want my old life back. Instead I’m wishing for a new one—with him. His kiss feels like home. His arms make me feel safe, and I never want this to end. As my memories return, forcing me to face my future, everything falls apart… especially when I find an engagement ring hidden in my apartment. I have no idea who gave it to me, or what it means about my past. I may have asked Spencer to help me remember, but now I wish I could forget.

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Help Me Remember is the first novel in Corinne Michaels’s all new series, Rose Canyon. If you follow my reviews, you know I am not a fan of reading the blurbs before I read the book. I love not knowing anything about the story before diving in. It’s my thrill in life. Ha. I don’t want to spoil anything about this addictive, badass, and emotional story so I will make this fast. And if you do follow my reviews, you know that’s not likely going to happen.
Brielle wakes up in a hospital not knowing why she is there. She is confused, frustrated, and panicked. And that is before she finds out why her brother isn’t with her. He was killed and she is the only one who knows what happened except she doesn’t remember the last three years of her life. Her family and friends are forbidden to tell her anything about the gap she is missing or it can jeopardize the case, she is determined to get the years back. She is even more determined to find her brother’s killer so she asks the man she trusts most to help her. Spencer Cross, the man she has crushed since she was thirteen. Her brother’s best friend. A man who is one of the best investigative reporters in the world. If anyone could help her remember, it’s him. They need to start from the beginning…
But maybe she wants more than what she had during the years she lost. She feels safe in Spencer’s arms. His kisses are everything she ever wished for. She never thought he would look at her like he does now. Why now? Things get even more complicated when she finds an engagement ring and nobody knows who proposed to her.
Wow!! This book is one of my favorite Corinne books. Ever. It’s full of family, love, suspense, friendships, heartbreak, and emotions that pulled me in every direction. And cameos!! The cameos!! ♥️♥️ I can’t wait for the rest of the series.
P.S. Make sure to read the bonus content!
Quotes:
“Who am I now?”
“You’re the same girl you’ve always been. You’re funny, kind, loving, and smart. You are brave, and while we all know you’re scared, you will find your way back.”
I want to drown in this kiss and never come up for air.
“See you on the flip side, Cross.”
“Yeah, the losing side,” I toss back.
