This isn’t a love story.
It’s a story about obsession.
After experiencing a terrible loss, New York City psychiatrist Meredith McCall feels painfully adrift. When she crosses paths with a man with whom she has a tragic connection, she follows him, sparking an unhealthy obsession with Gabriel Wright. How is he doing so well while her life is in shambles?
But when Gabriel walks into her office as a patient, seemingly unaware of who she is, she knows it crosses all ethical and moral bounds to treat him. Yet, Meredith can’t bring herself to turn him away and becomes further entangled. With her life and career continuing to unravel, it appears that things could not get any worse…until they do.
I should've known that based off the title of the book, that this story was going to be a head scratching, mind game. Who's playing who?
One year ago Meredith experienced a tragic loss that turned her professional and personal world upside down. Still reeling from the loss and trying to pick up the pieces, she's now counting down the days to a sense of normalcy in returning to work. Being a Psychologist in New York is not easy and with everyone constantly on the go, you have to move to their speed.
Getting back to a route will surely do Meredith some good and keep her from pursuing an unhealthy hobby but little does she know, she's in for one big surprise.
I have to say that I really loved the premise of this story and I liked that it was a psychological thriller. We saw the main character at her worst and in that moment, she was fighting to get back a little peace and calm the chaos. With that being said, we also saw her truly hit rock bottom and you start to question if it's self punishment, stupidity, or guilt. Trust begins to evaporate and you're no longer certain if anyone is in their right minds at this point.
If you're looking for a slightly predictable thriller that will have you questioning everyone's motives,then this one's for you.

From the very beginning, this book had me guessing and I was wrong with every assumption!! Firefly Effect weaved a story of mystery, heartache and romance that made you not only wish that you could undo the past, but proved that sometimes the best things are worth waiting for.
Fourteen years ago Evelyn went through a very traumatic event that changed her life. Still dealing with that trauma as an adult has not only made her wary of certain things, but she chooses to keep herself closed off personally. When the new town's therapist arrives, it sends Evelyn on an unexpected journey of hidden memories, forgiveness and falling in love. But with that comes danger and it's now getting closer than being hidden in the forest.
I really enjoyed the majority of this story and the setting. I felt like I was a part of the small community and I could visualize everything the characters were describing. I felt the fear and being on edge as we got closer to finding the truth and I loved that it gave me that kind of thrill. I will admit that the first half is a slow burn and it took me a minute to get into but once it picked up, I was hooked.
If you're in the mood for a small town mystery romance that will keep you guessing until the very end, I highly recommend you give this one a try.

And he’s willing to pay a professional to fill that role.

Then move on to lovers.
His family will leave him alone, and I’ll have a free place to stay and a full bank account.
Easy, right?

Soon casual PDA turns into sharing a bed at night.
On the outside, Nathan Hunt is just my next boyfriend of the hour.

Quiet Types reminded me of a simple romance. The characters stayed true to themselves and for that, we were given a steady ride of their journey.
Maggie Lydon rides the bus to her cleaning job every day and because of those trips, she sees a man that intrigues her. Shay is quiet and keeps to himself but he's always watching her. After finding the courage to strike up a conversation, Maggie learns that Shay is mute. With each passing day on their bus route, Shay and Maggie developed a deep friendship that even with silence, was louder than anything.
I truly enjoyed the beginning of this story. The characters were tip toeing around each other in a sense and I didn't know where it was going to lead to. After reading a few chapters, I quickly realized that this was a slow and steady read but I still felt the anticipation of something MORE. I practically craved it and when that didn't happen, I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I liked the characters and the family dynamic but after a while, it became boring. There were no gasp worthy moments that made me want to flip through the pages at warped speed and I felt like I was just reading about someone's day to day life.
Despite thinking that this story was going to be more, this book was the epitome of a truly sweet romance. Straight-forward with the main characters go from getting to know each other one day at a time, to becoming a huge part of each other's inner circle and falling in love. If you're looking for a sweet romance with lovable characters,then this one's for you.

Dr. Dax Cove is on the fast track for doing ground breaking research and nothing is going to get in his way. Until one phone call letting him know that he's now a father, stops him completely in his tracks. Springing into action with the support of his brothers, Dax travels to the U.S for his newborn daughter and he's determined to only provide for her. Forming any bond that will jeopardize time for his research and future plans, will not happen.
Hiring the best nanny to take care of his daughter is proving to be a bit more difficult than expected. When he meets Eira, he immediately thinks that she's too young for the job but fate as it would have it, had other plans. After taking the job on the spot, Eira and Dax decide to work out a system for Dax's daughter to give her the best nurturing so she can thrive even more. That includes one on one time, feeding schedules and family bonding which is going to be more different with the newest addition to the Cove family.
I really loved the evolution of Dax as a father and balancing his work life. He was so determined to do things his way and not form a bond with his daughter but nothing played out the way he wanted it too. Day by day that steel exterior began to melt and not only did we see a different side of him, we saw him vulnerable and a fierce protector. This was the first book that I've read in the series but I truly didn't feel like I was missing anything. I loved the family dynamic and the story flowed well. My only issue was that towards the end, everything felt rushed and too wrapped up in a neat bow. I needed things to slow down a little bit but other than that, I enjoyed this one and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the spinoff series.
If you're looking for a sexy heartwarming single dad/nanny romance, I highly recommend this one.

College student Anne has been determined to pay for her education. Needing to make quick cash, she agrees to go out of her comfort zone to do one night with a stranger. Having what she needs, Anne can now focus on school and having the memories of her childhood and family drama one bus ride away. Little does she know, that night is going to not only affect her present, but also her future.
Walking into her new Shakespeare class, Anne has no idea that the one person who has seen her in her most intimate form is also her professor. If that wasn't enough, he's also her ex boyfriend's father. Things are about to get MESSY.
I really loved that this was a forbidden romance that had some twists and turns. Not only did the heroine and side characters have a past, but the hero as well. I wanted to go more in depth with the main characters but I liked how the author set everything up letting us know that there's a lot more to come in book two. I definitely didn't like how things ended and I feel like it was rushed to give us a shock value but I'm very curious to see how everything is going to play out.
If you're looking for a steamy forbidden student/ teacher mystery romance, then you should give this one a try.
Please note: This ends on a cliffhanger
