I had a feeling that I was really going to enjoy this book when I first read the blurb and you know what? I was right. Humor, angst, sexual tension and an office age gap romance? Take my money why don't you!
After going through a horrible breakup and seeing her sister go on her honeymoon trip with her ex fiance, Delilah St.James does something naughty and out of the blue. Thinking that no one important is going to see her relationship status post, Lilah is shocked to see a message from her so-called boyfriend. But little does she knows, that message is only the beginning of a series of life changing events.
Spencer Prescott has everything that a successful man could ask for. He's driven, rich, has a successful company and a meddling mother that would not only do anything for him,but would love to see him settle down. Meeting Delilah was never the plan but as fate would have it, he's is about to be knocked off his feet.When a perfect opportunity arises, leave it to Spencer's mother to not only cement her mark in matchmaking, but she becomes a fierce and funny side character that you will instantly fall in love with.
I was not expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did but I'm so happy that I took a chance on this one. There were a few things about some of the side characters that grated on my nerves and I wished that the author would've delved into the reasoning behind all of it but aside from that, this was a really good read. I loved the main characters and I really liked that the hero stood his ground and knew exactly what he wanted. He was protective, steadfast, and was all in.
If you're looking for a sexy age gap office romance, I highly recommend this one.
If every scar tells a story...
Mine is about surviving.
After a brutal attack at college, I return home for the summer to recover. But my emotional wounds are taking longer to heal than my physical ones.
When I meet Silas, a former MMA champion with a scowl as permanent as the tattoos on his powerful body, asking him to teach me self-defense seems like the perfect idea.
In the gym, our bond grows stronger, and the pain turns to passion. His close proximity unravels my self-control.
Even though he tries to keep me at arm's length, I'm chipping away at his resistance. He thinks he's too old and jaded, but I’m not easily deterred.
He saved me, and now I’m going to fight for us. Because our connection is intense, raw, and dangerously real.
My fears are no longer about the shadows of my past… but a future together that may never be.
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.

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.
