Adrian Matsakis is a successful businessman with terrible luck in personal relationships. His ex-wife wrecked him, and when he tried again with Jessie Brandt, she too betrayed him.

He is shocked and outraged to learn he has a son with her and is determined to take custody. He’s never forgotten Jessie but can’t forgive her, especially now.

Forewarned of Adrian’s intent, Jessie preempts him by inviting him to co-parent, and he reins himself in. He can’t resist reminding her of her perfidy, however, just as she continues to maintain her innocence.

Treatments vary according to the actual levitra best prices cause of problem.
They struggle against the chemistry—and more—sparking between them, and when Adrian double checks the facts around Jessie’s supposed betrayal, he’s staggered to learn the evidence was planted.

He sets out to make amends, and Jessie must decide if she’ll allow him back into her heart, and give Adrian a place to finally call home.

Jessie had been devastated when Adrian threw her out, but she refused to try and mend their relationship when it had so clearly been one-sided all this time. Discovering she was pregnant hadn’t changed her mind and she was determined to raise her son as best she could without anything at all from Adrian. However, when Adrian learned about their child, he was determined to be part of the child’s life, no matter what it took.

I initially found it really difficult to like Adrian’s character. While I felt bad he’d been horribly used by his ex-wife in the past, for the first few chapters I didn’t feel this justified his behavior towards Jessie – a completely different woman who didn’t even know Adrian’s ex-wofe. Adrian’s distrust and attitude towards Jessie and their child was quite a turn-off for me. I was grateful when Adrian’s initial reaction settled down and he acted more maturely and responsibly.

While it took me a while to warm up to Adrian’s character, I related to Jessie’s character straight away. I also was pretty impressed with how calm she was to Adrian crashing back into her life and how willing she was to include him in their child’s world. If I’m honest I’m not sure I could have acted as graciously and so while I’m not certain Jessie’s complete acceptance is realistic, but it certainly made the story smoother and my enjoyment of it as a whole, a lot better.

I was pleased with Jessie’s backbone during her and Adrian’s discussions and overall felt this plot of them settling the past and deciding to try and reconnect to build a family unit took up the vast bulk of the storyline. I’m not sure I really believed in the longevity of their relationship – Adrian carried some deep scars from his ex-wife and had proven to be fairly hotheaded and blind when it comes to certain matters of trust. I did feel though that both he and Jessie were determined to work on their relationship and absolutely do their best by their son, so while this wasn’t what I would classify as a traditional romance or happy ever after I think plenty of readers will enjoy the story and be pleased Adrian and Jessie could find each other again.

Not your average romance, this story is in many ways realistic and messy but still satisfying and easy to read.

One is the loneliest number…

Garrett, her close childhood friend and FBI agent assigned to the human trafficking task force, gave his heart to her years ago and wants no other woman.

Does he have a second chance or has her ex stolen her from him again?

After a bad break-up, Madelyn is broke and devastated when her mother passes away. An old childhood friend, FBI agent Garrett Fisher offers her to drive her home and the two reconnect on the drive. When danger is lurking in their small town, can they work together to remain safe?

I found this to be a romantic and interesting short story. Maddy and Garrett had known each other most of their lives, having grown up in a small town, but after Maddy a bad relationship she’d moved into the big city and moved on with her life. Her friendship with Garrett continued which helped make their relationship deepening from friends to lovers realistic and easier in the short length of the story. I feel readers looking for a quick romance story will find this satisfies – as a lot of the focus is on Maddy and Garrett and the progress of their relationship. Had the story been longer I absolutely would have wanted more depth and details of Garrett’s work as an FBI agent and the cases and difficulties he must deal with every day, but I can understand how if the author had done this here the romance side to the story would have been cut short and suffered.

The mystery plot was fast paced and I enjoyed the conflict and suspense it added to the story. I felt Maddy’s calmness in the initial phase of the tension was a little unrealistic given the situation she found herself in and the numerous ways things could have gone very bad very quickly, but again admit that the short length of the story didn’t lend itself to the giving Maddy the time to have a melt-down. I thought the resolution clicked into place a little too easily and I was surprised at how quickly Maddy and Garrett consummated their relationship after her ordeal, but overall the tenseness of the plot and the happiness of the romance growing between Maddy and Garrett had the story feeling balanced and interesting to me.

Throw logic out the door and disconnect your brain, sit back with a glass of wine and this can be one of those good, short stories where you just enjoy a bit of an escape from reality for a while. With a good plot and lovely romance there’s plenty to enjoy about this story.

What happens when your girlfriend’s brother decides he wants you for himself?

Being a spoiled, rich playboy, Ben Chalmers is used to getting his own way. So Greg Stacey assumes Ben’s inappropriate taunts are just his way of trying to break up his relationship with Beth. Little does he realise Ben’s got a whole other agenda in mind.

While a part of Greg hates Ben and all the difficulties between them, Greg misses the closeness and friendship they previously shared. Things begin to get complicated between the two men and Greg begins to learn the fine edge between love, obsession and hate. Can Greg and Ben’s relationship ever be the same again?

I found this to be an extremely different short story. Told from Greg’s perspective in the first person it was at first difficult for me to grasp some of the intricacies of Ben and Beth’s characters and what they really wanted and expected from Greg. I felt that the back-and-forth of Ben’s character from antagonistic towards Greg to aroused and interested was initially confusing and difficult to follow. I feel in large part this was due to the fact the whole story was told from Greg’s perspective and he was confused, so that didn’t leave a lot of clarity for the reader to piece together. I admittedly felt this confusion and uncertainty of Greg’s made it understandable that this was how the story was written, and also admit the story was richer for the confusion, but as a reader it was at times difficult for me to be certain what was really going on.

This book is incredibly realistic and relatable. There are a number of excellently written but difficult subjects that are raised – Greg’s feelings towards Ben are complicated and very love/hate feelings, there is also a lot of confusion in Greg’s mind as to what is a healthy level of jealousy and what actions overall make a relationship unhealthy. I feel these were all really well written. But this made this book uncomfortable for me to read. I usually shy away from books that tackle such difficult and complicated emotional aspects of borderline abusive relationships, but I had such a good connection with Greg I needed to keep reading and absolutely wanted to know what happened.

While I enjoyed this book I feel strongly that this won’t be every reader’s cup of tea. There are a lot of difficult scenes, including a few where Greg was not quite consensual with his sex when he was extremely intoxicated, or blacked out or after he’d ingested drugs. There are also quite a few scenes where it’s clear Greg feels the relationship is not healthy but then changes his mind back and forth – Greg’s confusion added a lot of confusion to me as the reader about what was really going on and where the line of right and wrong properly laid. Greg’s back-and-forth over whether Ben and his relationship was healthy or not meant I as the reader couldn’t really decide, either. Greg flip-flopping between thinking his and Ben’s relationship was abusive – or Greg deciding to leave and then coming back to Ben all made the story realistic and addictive to read, but I don’t feel it’s an easy subject to take on, particularly when the entire situation was – to me at least – heartbreaking.

The majority of the plot I feel was Greg’s constantly flickering and confused feelings for Ben and Greg trying to understand his own desires and needs emotionally and sexually. This was a lot to read and take on as the relationship between Greg and Ben that was both complicated and multi-layered. The answers to these questions of Greg’s was what kept me reading – I wanted to know if they could make their relationship work or whether it was as doomed as I felt it should be at times. While this self-exploration was well written and interesting I do feel this story isn’t for the faint of heart.

It wasn’t until the very end that clarity came around to Greg and Ben’s relationship. I was satisfied that these important plot points were completed but this absolutely isn’t a story with a traditional style of happy ending. I strongly feel readers should be aware this isn’t a light or romantic story. I personally felt satisfaction at the end, and there is a sort of happiness in the epilogue, but it’s quite outside the box.

With realistic and complicated characters this is a very unusual and different style of story. I feel strongly that it won’t be to all readers’ tastes, but for those who like darker-edged stories and those who enjoy characters discovering and learning things about themselves this will likely strike a good chord with them.

Revenge is best served cold.

When Shona Williams returns to her hometown, Ironash, as an experienced DI, she has scores to settle. Justice will be delivered. What they did to her was evil.

Trouble is, she’s been thrown into the middle of a serial killer’s spree. Barely catching a breath between murders, he’s rampant, merciless, twisted, and preys on the weak.

Will her new partner, Earle Montague, be a hindrance or a help? Will she have time to work on her very personal case? And will the murderer slip up so they can swoop in?

Only God knows.

Shona Williams returned to Ironash for a number of reasons, but a quieter pace of life – and far fewer homicides to investigate – were two of the major draws to smaller town living. But on her first day back at work a suspicious house fire reveals a dead body. Not from smoke-inhalation or natural causes, but bludgeoning. And with a major festival only a week away, the police Chief is determined Shona and her new partner Earle solve the case in a hurry.

I frequently enjoy British crime stories, particularly those set in the smaller towns where everyone knows everyone. I also really liked how most of the various character’s actions weren’t just straight-forward. I thought the plotting was really strong – layered and slotting together like a jigsaw with many little pieces forming a larger whole.

This story was a delight, not only because I managed to find an excellent, character-driven crime-mystery story, but also because a number of aspects to the story were fresh and unique to me. The “who” aspect to the mystery was shown very early on, but with multiple layers and complexities behind the “why” I found myself deeply involved in the story and eagerly turning the pages. I’ve never read a story with this particular pathology and twists to the plot and I found the story as a whole both refreshingly different and yet still comfortable enough that it was like a pair of well-worn jeans. Exciting and yet still familiar.

I thought the characters were very well drawn. Shona and Earle in particular were revealed to me as the reader at a good pace, slow enough I could savour and enjoy learning about them both, but quickly enough the story didn’t drag. There were an excellent cast of strong secondary characters, many of whom were important in helping to make the small town of Ironash feel both realistic and relatable to me. I also absolutely loved the almost timeless feel of the story too. While clearly modern, I had a strong sense throughout the whole story that if a few aspects of modern technology were removed from being referenced, this could easily have been an Agatha Christie-esque story. I loved the reminder that despite the keen edge of technology and progress, at heart small towns – and people, in particular – remain largely the same as they always have. I adored this reminder and found it added to my enjoyment of the story greatly.

With many layers and aspects to the plot, and a number of them being completely unique and fresh to me, at least, this was a wonderful story and one I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved this exciting new mystery and am thrilled to find two more follow on books will be released in the coming month. Readers who love a good British crime/mystery story should definitely check this out.

Forced to share a stateroom with her ex-fiancé, Caitlyn fakes amnesia to stay on board her dream Alaskan cruise. Torn over deciding his future, Cruise Director Gregory tumbles into helping her. As they grow closer, unspoken secrets threaten to rip them apart, for good.

The commander viagra drug is a blue colored tablet, which is a medicine used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence). Initial studies show low price cialis daveywavey.tv a decrease in pain and an improvement in function for people with various types of arthritis, and the benefits lasted anywhere from three to twelve months. But people who can take up higher dose can go for effective and safe alternatives such commander viagra as kamagra, which is again a sildenafil medicine with better work mechanism and lower prices. Caitlyn hadn’t planned on travelling alone on the Alaskan cruise and she certainly hadn’t planned on being bumped into on her entrance into the cruise ship and having her phone drop into the sea. Even though Caitlyn didn’t believe in mystical powers like her sister did, she had to admit to an odd sense of having known Greg – one of the ships senior crewmembers – before. With complications arising all around on the cruise – including the unexpected problem of her ex-fiance turning up – Caitlyn isn’t sure whether she should trust her instincts and rely on Greg or whether she’s bitten off more than she can chew.

I really enjoyed this full length story. With a deliciously slow pace – much like a cruise itself – I loved the vibrant and well drawn characters, Caitlyn and Greg in particular. The recognition between the two – even though they’d never met before – was interesting and captured my attention. I also could appreciate the added complication of Caitlyn’s ex, Adam, and the holes Caitlyn kept on unintentionally digging for herself. With a slow, sweet pace to the story I feel this should appeal to a wide variety of readers.

I enjoyed the plot – finding it both refreshingly different and complicated enough to maintain my interest. Greg has a few unresolved issues with his family and Caitlyn’s character came across to me as a little adrift. I was pleased that they both found ways to help each other – and thus stay in each other’s orbit – as they slowly got to know one other. This helped the story roll along at a good – albeit slow – pace and I really enjoyed watching everything unfurl as the story progressed.

I don’t feel that readers looking for an intense or action-packed story will find this here, but I am certain that anyone looking for a lovely, sweet and character-driven ship-board romance style of story should definitely check this out. There is just the one chaste kiss right at the very end of the story – but I feel this style of slow romance will make the story more suitable to a wider range of readers.

With interesting and complicated characters, a strong off-ship presence of both plot and characters and plenty of conflict with the third-wheel-ex-fiance I found this to be a well written, interesting and lovely full length story.

Once best friends, Angelo and Vincent parted after a night of hot passion and conflicting emotions.

Rock star Angelo knows a good thing when he’s got it, and what he has on stage with his band now is as good as it gets. He clings to that knowledge during the times when he longs for the warmth of a lover in his heart and his bed.

Vincent has grown adept at ducking his mother’s probing questions about grandbabies, while dedicating his life to nailing perps to the jailhouse wall in criminal court. His family and his career bring him satisfaction, but he dares not pursue a relationship that would complete his life.

Could the music that led to their parting a decade ago be the bond that brings these two lovers back together again?

Performing and being on stage is the only place Rush wants to be. Rush had left a number of things behind in his home state – and Vincent was one of them. They’d broken up on bad terms and neither had considered reaching out to the other. But when they meet again they realise they’ve both grown up a lot in the intervening years. Can their high school romance survive a second test run?

I found this to be a really interesting – though slow paced – short story. I really enjoyed both Rush’s character and Vinnie’s. While the first half of the book is quite slow – setting the scene and explaining both Rush and Vinnie’s history together and a lot about the men they’ve grown to become, when they finally meet up again things move really quickly from there and the pace speeds up to a level that I really enjoyed. Initially, I was also a bit confused as to why the story was set in the early 1970s. Right toward the end of the story this aspect becomes crystal clear, but I spent nearly the whole story confused as to why this story needed to be set nearly forty years in the past.

When Rush and Vinnie finally met back up again and finally had an intense and long-overdue talk, their relationship and chemistry started to really drag me into the story. The two men together were smoking hot and I feel despite the fact there’s only one scene of intimacy between them I found it really satisfying and believable. I also really enjoyed how once their past had been squared away Vinnie and Rush’s relationship reverted back to being both best friends as well as lovers. It was clear the two men could count on each other and had the other’s back – and I adored that.

Different and a little slow to start, I found this overall to be an interesting and well written character-based story. I enjoyed it and would certainly try this author again.

Ewen had strong feelings for Kelly but their relationship was beyond complicated. Their two companies shared a lot of business together and Kelly had practically been engaged to Ewen’s brother until the car accident that killed him. Neither Kelly nor Ewen had managed to reach a place where they felt they could even discuss – let alone act on – their feelings. A naughty Christmas gift from Kelly’s sister though has Kelly and Ewen’s seemingly ordered lives turned on its head.

I really enjoyed this steamy and quick Christmassy read. I was pleased that the author spent enough time at the start to really lay out both Ewen and Kelly’s characters, and also show me what their business and personal relationship was like before having them reach the crux point and change over from friends and business contemporaries and flip over into something far more intimate.

Readers who enjoy a healthy amount of plot in their stories should find that this short story really delivers on that aspect. Kelly’s family and Ewen’s grief over the loss of his brother are all tangled up into an interesting and complicated knot that slowly gets unraveled as the story progresses. While a part of me would have enjoyed if the plot had unfolded a little more slowly – I had to re-read a few sections to make certain I’d picked up some of the intricacies and was following along properly – I feel the author did a really good job making the moving parts all join together and work coherently.

Sexy and fun with some good chemistry between Kelly and Ewen, I found this to be a strong and enjoyable story.

Regan Finley’s photography makes the local music scene shine. He’s four months from his final exhibition and graduation. But instead of preparing for the party, he’s fretting about his exhibition theme — bondage and passion. There’s one person he wants to make his exhibition come to life, if he can convince his housemate to participate.

He can let Regan have his commanding way and get the pictures he needs for the exhibition, or he can walk away from the best roommate and friend he’s ever known… all because of a little ball of nylon rope.

Regan and Camryn had known each other for eighteen months and been housemates for the last six of them. While friendly, Camryn has never been keen to view Regan’s artwork, so Regan is surprised when Cam start showing a determined interest. The fact Regan has a massive crush on Cam and the soul-baring intimacy of some of his photographic pieces only makes things more difficult when Regan is determined to keep Cam’s friendship and not mess what they have up with the depth of his personal feelings.

This is a steamy friends-to-lovers style of story. I was pleased the author gave us a bit of time at the start to get a feel for Regan and Camryn’s characters, they didn’t just simply fall into bed together. I could see how they were well suited and each had been lusting after the other for quite a while. I admit I felt this story might fall a bit more into the “Happy For Now” style of relationship, not the “Happy Ever After” style mainly because both men were quite young and each only just beginning in their chosen careers and working lives. The connection and chemistry between Regan and Cam was pretty intense though and while I often don’t get the same feeling of satisfaction out of the “Happy For Now” style of relationships I felt this one might buck the trend and the two men might be able to work themselves out.

I was a little disappointed with Camryn’s freak-out when he discovered Regan wanted to practice Shibari on him. I didn’t get a good handle on why, exactly, Cam felt it so unsettled by this. Cam wanted – and was attracted – to Regan being somewhat Dominant in the bedroom and Cam considered Regan his best friend. So when Cam said he was wigged out because Regan might hurt him and he thought it was bizarre for Regan to want to tie him up, it just didn’t mesh with someone who was comfortable with some elements of BDSM and Domination in the bedroom, and a man who Cam had admitted was his closest and most important friend. This aspect of the plot passed fairly quickly, but I feel the story could have been a lot stronger had Cam’s mindset been either more strongly explained, or better fleshed out as it never really made complete sense to me and put a bit of a dampner on my enjoyment.

The sex between them is both descriptive and I found it hot and believable. There was quite a lengthy lead up between the two men so when they finally got together it was delicious and explosive. While the Shibari (bondage-style rope play) is intense and explicit, I feel this really opens up a different side of BDSM to readers. Personally, I found it interesting, fresh and a lovely flavor of different – but readers looking for something intensely kinky might not feel the same as I did.

Readers looking for a steamy and non-traditional BDSM story should find this quick read really appealing. I enjoyed it and look forward to re-reading it again in the future.
