Here’s your first look at Vaughn!

"Nolan, you can't cut." I point my finger at the hot, single dad, I argue with almost every day. It's a little game we play. He comes in and tries to start working his way up to the front of the line, without having to wait. He's way too good-looking for his own good, and so many men and women just take the smile he gives and let him do whatever he wants.

"I didn't cut." He holds his hand up. "This lovely young woman told me I could go in front of her. Who am I to let a gift like this go to waste?"

I tilt my head to the side, hands on my hips. "You and I both know you asked her, it wasn't like she did it out of the goodness of her heart. One day I'm going to put a sign on the front door that says do not let this man sweet talk you into giving up your spot in line."

"Why you gotta be such a hater, Val?" Nolan crosses his arms, and throws me an aggravated look.

"Your daughter loves you, isn't that enough?"

He dips his chin into his chest. "Not cool, Val. When did you learn to be mean? You used to be so nice when you first started working here."

Behind him, the man I can't stop thinking about walks up. "She's learned from the best, stop being a dick, go to the back of the line, and wait your turn."

Nolan turns on Vaughn. "Nobody asked you to get involved."

Vaughn tilts his head toward me. "You give her shit, you fuck with me. Them's the rules." He grabs Nolan by the neck, squeezing, as he takes them out the door and to the back of the line.

Book Blurb:

My new roommate is a hard-working, blue collar lineman–and a scorching specimen of a man–but I swear I don't watch him when he's not looking.

He's not looking, because Vaughn Collins knows that I, Valentina Brewster, have never been touched. And him? He's had more than a few rounds with the bucket bunnies. I escaped a lifestyle where religious freedom wasn't accepted, and started to build a future for myself, when my father found me.

Now that I've decided to stop running, Vaughn wants to protect me, and I'm willing to let him do it. But the forced proximity is starting to get to us. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to hold off.

I'm terribly close to asking him to teach me all the things I've always wanted to know.

I have a feeling he'll have no problem saying yes…

Tropes Included

· small town · blue collar · forced proximity · she asks him to teach her · he's only tender for her

Vaughn is book five in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

Review of 'The Moon Children' by Kim Catanzarite

I must start by saying - I'm happy to once again be back in the Jovian universe!

Following the events of the third novel in the series, 'The Moon Children' focuses on how Jovians, clones, hybrids, and humans have all been affected after the showdown where Caroline showed her true self to the world. Now invaded by a different species called the Moon Children, old animosities and feuds have to be put aside to figure out a plan to fight them. This is of course easier said than done! Readers follow along through the perspectives of different narrators in a wild and harrowing plot which kept me on my toes the entire time.

As always, Kim successfully built this well-developed world; her ability to make me feel like there are actual multiverses (and who knows, maybe there are!) is still parallel to none. I wrote about this in my review for Bright Blue Planet; and as this book takes place in several timelines and planets, this ability was further highlighted throughout the plot.

I also loved how this story pulled so many emotions from me. While reading, I ran through a gamut of feelings - joy, extreme sorrow, anger, fear, and wonder. An author can rarely write scenes that evoke so many sentiments from me in one novel!

Another cliffhanger; but I'm sure it will definitely be worth it.

*A great many thanks to Kim Catanzarite for this ARC. It is important to note that I was not committed to providing a positive review; all opinions are undoubtedly my own.*

Book Review for Hot Pursuit

Having made a memorable splash with her debut novel “Love Under Contract,” Cassie Connor is back with a unique take on a reality TV trope, blending a mix of second chances, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy vs. sunshine, and a dash of suspense!

A connection between strangers unlike any other. Two nights of unbridled passion. The memory burns deep in the recesses of Lydia Smith’s mind until that memory turns into reality when she lays eyes on the one man who has ruined her for any other. Tom Dereborn turned her life upside down, but just as quickly as he swooped in, he was gone. A year had passed with no contact, no reunion, nothing but memories of the best weekend of her life. Now, they are reunited as unexpected colleagues on a work trip, and he pretends not to know her or even acknowledge what they shared. Two can play that game until the stakes change. What should have been a brief encounter on a business trip has turned into a living nightmare. Hoping to save her grandmother’s house, Lydia signs up for the reality show “Fleeing for Your Life.” What she didn’t expect was to see Tom at the tryouts. Worse yet, they somehow end up partnered together. Trapped with her newfound nemesis, Lydia must decide what’s worse: not winning and watching her grandmother’s house fall into further disrepair, or being stuck with the last person on earth she wants near her heart ever again!

The book finishes strong with action-packed final chapters. Once we finally understood Lydia and Tom, were back on the road, and moving towards the conclusion of the reality show, everything just slid into place perfectly. The need to know what happened next and how it would all end made it hard to put the book down.

Thank you NetGalley and One More Chapter Books for allowing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

[natreviewsbooks]

I've been in the mood to read some darker/paranormal romances. Although I have already read this, sometimes there's comfort in the familiar. If you enjoy a little more *spice* in your romantasy than the average with paranormal/monster elements thrown in too, then you might add this to your tbr.

Terminei de reorganizar as minhas estantes. Fiz essa colagem das três pq não cabiam todas em uma foto só. Não gravei pq esqueci que poderia ser um video legal. :( Mesmo assim demorei o dia inteiro para fazer isso por causa dos meus atuais problemas de locomoção e impossibilidade de carregar muito peso…🙄 Espero que agora com elas lindas e organizadas eu me empolgue para gravar novamente. #rezemos #vamosler #booktubebrasil #booktube #booklovers #hardcover #paperback #bookporn #shelfie #beautifulbookshelves #funkopop #bookstagram #beautifulbookspines #books #bookshelf #ilovereading
