Benson Bexley has a heart of stone.

Apparently, nothing changes.

 

When he returns home after a decade gone, I recognize him right away.

How could I forget him?

He’s the same cocky flirt who slid dirty poetry to me in art class.

With the same stone-cold stare that shields his soul from the world.

And that same sharp-edged jaw that cuts straight through a heart like a dagger.

 

Fortunately, I see right through his arrogant charm.

Even better, he doesn’t remember who I am.

And I have no intention of reminding him.

After all, it’s only a matter of time until his nomadic life takes him away again.

 

When he relentlessly pursues me, I devise an evil plan.

Play along with his dirty, poetic charm. 

And then give him a taste of his own medicine.

 

Revenge.

It’s not in my nature.

But Benson Bexley deserves nothing less.

It’s time for that heart of stone to shatter.

Once Forbidden, Twice Shy by Carrie Aarons is live!

Running from your problems only brings you hurtling face first into even worse baggage.

After experiencing a brutal trauma in New York that I’d rather bury than address, escaping to a new job in London seems like the perfect solution. That was before I was introduced to my new boss, who is none other than my brother’s best friend. You know, the one I’ve been head-over-heels in love with forever.

Jack Merrick had been my crush since I knew what one was. For years we fought the feelings; I didn’t want to humiliate myself and his excuse was not betraying my brother or parents, who had accepted him as their own. Then, the night of my college graduation party, he undressed me in my childhood bedroom and confirmed that there was no one else on this earth for him but me.

When I woke the next morning he was gone, off to take a job as a coder halfway around the world. Four years and a mangled heart later, Jack is the last person I expect to see in London, and something close to fate is tricking me into thinking this is more than a coincidence. Our shared love of programming has always connected us, but now it’s the thing we’re weaponizing to get back at each other.

Until one night, when the emotional scars from my attack resurface and he’s the only one to witness a massive breakdown. He coaxes out my secrets and swears to love and protect me like he couldn’t before. But with everything stacked against us, I’m not sure we can ever have what we’ve always dreamed of.

Except just as we’re beginning to tackle those obstacles, I learn the truth of why he left all those years ago. And suddenly there may be no future for us at all.

Carrie delivers another sugary sweet romance that readers will absolutely enjoy.

Once Forbidden, Twice Shy is Taylor & Jack’s story.  Jack had always been in love with Taylor but never allowed it to be more because she’s his best friend’s sister.

Taylor reciprocated those feelings but after one night when she finally thought she’d be getting the guy she always crushed on, he crushed her heart.

Now, years later they both find themselves in a whole other country working for the same company. But an even bigger kicker is that he’s her boss.

Carrie did a brilliant job of writing these two characters. They’re both very independent and strong-willed but together, they’re absolutely amazing.

Jack has always been confident in himself, except when it comes to Taylor.  She keeps him on his toes in various ways.

Taylor has a very determined personality but she’s also fragile. She’s had her trust broken and her safety shaken. She’s always been able to find security in Jack, no matter what.

Carrie delivered a heartwarming story with some mild drama that is quickly taken care of. The characters handle things (mostly) like the mature adults they are & when they don’t, there’s others to knock sense into them.

Once Forbidden, Twice Shy is a quick second-chance, romance that’ll readers will thoroughly enjoy,  start to finish.

50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover
by Kelly Siskind is now live!

From Kelly Siskind comes a slow-burn romantic comedy about one man’s creative attempt to win back his high school sweetheart after a change in fortune gives them a second chance at love.

Growing up, I had it all—my art, close friends, a gorgeous girlfriend who owned my heart—but then my life exploded.

Turns out my father was laundering money, and my whole family got shoved into witness protection. No notice. No chance to explain. I was ripped away from beautiful, blue-eyed Delilah Moon, shattering both our worlds.

A decade later, fate has given us a second chance.

The cartel my father worked for has been wiped out. I’ve returned to my hometown, determined to win back the love of my life. But Delilah is engaged.

Or . . . is she?

I’m almost positive she’s lying about her fiancé to protect her heart. Which means I need to up my game.

I’ve made a list of fifty ways to prove we’re meant to be. Except Delilah’s barely looking at me, never mind swooning. I have a feeling my disappearance scarred her more than she’s admitting, and no one in town will tell me what happened . . .

I can’t remember the last time I read a book that was told solely from the male’s POV. Bravo Kelly on nailing your character’s voice.

This was definitely a slow-burn romance. Lots of groveling, alot of memories being rekindled and just watching two loves rekindle their romance.

Kelly has to do a lot of plot development for this entire series in this first book and introduce all the characters too without taking away from the main plot of this book. While it was great and reads perfectly, it definitely wasn’t holding my interest as much as I had hoped. I wasn’t itching to turn the pages til about 60% of the book.

I truly loved watching Edgar grow in this book. He’s literally lived a lie for the last ten years and now he can finally be himself again. It’s really difficult thing to do when everyone else has moved on.

Edgar and Delilah’s story is filled with lots of emotions. I went from laughter to sadness and then grinning like a cheeseball. These two have a connection that is once-in-a-lifetime and you can feel that coming off the pages. And not sure the author meant to do this or not, but the name of a resort in this book made me think of the movie Dirty Dancing. I enjoyed that whether is was a nod to that movie or not.

While this one started off a bit slow for me, it definitely didn’t deter me from continuing. I loved their story and I can’t wait to read the rest of the Bower brothers.
