EXCERPT


I watched him stride across the café toward the door, hating the way everything tightened when he did.
His or mine, I wasn’t sure.
But it was there.
Heavy.
Pressing on my heart.
I couldn’t stop from watching him through the big windows as he started down the sidewalk, the man a scorching silhouette in the blaze of the day.
But he didn’t climb into his car that was parked at the curb.
He began to pace.
A pace that looked like indecision and turmoil.
Back and forth right on the other side of the window.
His head tilted back toward the sky, as if it might hold an answer, before he set his coffee and the lollipops down on one of the open tables, dug in his pocket, and pulled out his phone.
“You’re an idiot,” Jenna hissed from beside me. “That guy likes you, and he’s literally the hottest thing to ever walk through that door. And he bought All. The. Lollipops.”
Maybe that was part of the problem.
“I don’t get simple,” was my response.
“What if he doesn’t want simple?”
I would have answered her, told her that in the end, everyone did. They always took the easy way out when the going got tough. Except the café phone rang. I moved for it, thankful for the distraction, something to keep my feet from rounding the counter and running after him.
Because what the hell would that accomplish?
I lifted the receiver from the wall and pressed it to my ear. “A Drop of Hope. How can I help you?”
“Go out with me.” His gravelly voice echoed through the line.
A surprised sound whispered from my lips, and Kale was suddenly at the window, his face pressed to the glass, hand shading his eyes so he could see inside. His other hand was holding his cell to his ear. “Go out with me, Hope. Just dinner. Because I can’t fucking stop thinking about you. Couldn’t after I saw you the first time at Olive’s on Friday night. It only got worse after I saw you here Monday morning. I don’t know what it is about you . . . but there’s something that makes me want to figure it out.”
My breaths were hard pants, my heart a jackhammer in my chest. “My life’s complicated, Kale.”
“And I’m offering you a night away from it. Don’t you at least deserve that?”
I wanted to beg him, what then? What happened if I fell for that smirk and that smile and those tender eyes?
Fast and hard?
I could already feel myself slipping. My heart tipping his direction.
What happened if Dane found out?
What then?
But I was so tired of that man controlling every aspect of my life, even after I’d made the decision to cut him from it.
Jenna was suddenly in my face, gripping my wrist, her voice a hard, demanding whisper. “You tell him yes, Harley Hope. Don’t you dare hang up that phone without telling him yes. You deserve something just for you. Just for you.”
Indecision swarmed, questions and worries and want.
But it was the feeling balled in my stomach that trembled the floor beneath my feet.
The urge to reach out and touch on the beauty and tenderness that swam in his eyes. To discover if it was real.
The throb of desire that begged, a whisper in my ear that goaded—just one touch.
The hidden need to feel those hands skating my flesh.
I guessed I’d thought I’d never crave that again, my life fulfilled, my spirit content in knowing I was living for what was right.
Jenna squeezed tighter, my bossy best friend mouthing the word as she angled her head with the demand. “Say yes.”
It was at the same second Kale fisted his hand against the window, his forehead rocking against it, his own words a petition. “Come on, Hope. Say yes. I promise you, you won’t regret it.”
A hint of playfulness came out on the last, but it didn’t matter, because I was agreeing.
“Yes,” I murmured, wanting to feel something good even though I wasn’t so much a fool that I didn’t know I was making a mistake. That in the end, it wouldn’t hurt.
Because it already felt as if this mattered.
As if he mattered.
“Okay. One night. Just dinner,” I reiterated.
He breathed out in what sounded like relief. “Just dinner.”
As if anything could ever be as simple as that.

✯Release Review✯Thrive(Guardian Protection Series #2)by Aly Martinez

Synopsis 

When I was nineteen years old, I was faced with a choice that changed my life.
Keep the safety of what I already knew or risk losing everything with the young, hotheaded soldier who stole my heart.

I chose the wrong man, and for seventeen years, I paid in tears, blood, and shattered dreams for that decision.

Now, there’s a man in my house, holding a gun to my head on the order of my ex-husband—given from his prison cell. 

That hotheaded soldier I was too afraid to choose? He’s now a six-foot-three wall of muscle who works at the country’s most premier bodyguard agency. I’ve always wanted him, but now, I’ve never needed him more.

It’s the call I’m terrified to make. 
I’m sure he still hates me… Even though I’ve never stopped loving him.


✯✯5 Thriving Stars!!!✯✯

Aly Martinez continues to prove over and over again why she’s on my auto buy list. Every book makes me forget about everything. I’ve been waiting for more of these guardians and the wait was totally totally worth it!

Jeremy Lark was totally completely madly in love with Mira York. They spent their nights in the back of his pickup wrapped in each other and talking. They told each other everything. All their hopes and dreams wants and desires. Everything was perfect. Except that Jeremy’s best friend Kurt was Mira boyfriend. He was a poor excuse for a boyfriend and friend. When Kurt found out about them, he set up Jeremy and got him kicked out of the Army. When he leaves he begs Mira to come with him and instead she chose Kurt. 

Jeremy ends up getting a job at the Guardian Protection Agency and it made him feel whole again. He did get married and had beautiful twin daughters. But, his heart belonged to Mira and he eventually got divorced. He has a civil divorce. Him and his ex do what’s best for their children. Jeremy hasn’t seen/heard from Mira or Kurt in seventeen years. Then, he gets a call and it’s her on the other line and she’s begging for help. It’s a matter of life or death. 

The minute Jeremy left in his truck Mira knew she made the wrong choice. But, she stayed anyway. Mira just went along with Kurt. But, when things turned back and he ended up in prison she knew it was her turn. She’s been on her own and divorced for three years and things are finally starting to look up.  Until Kurt’s ex-business partners show up at her apartment. They want what Kurt took from them and they’ll take her best friend and dog and leave the scary guy with a gun until they get it. Mira does the only thing she can think of. Call the one person she knows that’ll help her. The only person whose ever owned her heart. Jeremy Lark. 

Holy moly!!! This was an awesome book. Talk about a second chance romance. These two were so in love and so perfect for each other that they were half living without the other one. Together they’re fierce and strong. Jeremy is an alpha male all around. But, when he’s talking about or to his daughters omg he’ll melt your heart and wet your panties. Mira I wanted to hate for not choosing Jeremy first. But, we’ve all made dumb decisions and regretted it and then fixed it. She did that and more. I can’t wait for the next Guardian in this series.

✯Release Review✯Pulse(The Luminous Series #1)by K.E. Osborn


Title: Pulse
Series: The Luminous Rock Series #1
Author: K.E. Osborn
Genre: Rockstar Romance
Release Date: January 17, 2018
“I am officially hooked on this new series and cannot wait for the next book.” - Nerdy, Dirty & Flirty “KE Osborn doesn't let her readers down with this new series if this book is anything to go by!” - Robyn Corcoran “...this book captured my heart and soul from page 1 !! This was a FANTASTIC BOOK !!” - Kim (Goodreads)
She makes my pulse race. From the moment I laid eyes on her in that ridiculous giraffe onesie, I knew this girl would rock my world. Effa’s the lead singer of the world-famous rock band, Luminous. And I’m their new lighting tech, Kaden ‘Mercs’ Mercury. Going on tour with an all-female rock band would be simple you’d think, but these girls aren’t an easy push-over. All the while things back home are taking a turn for the worse, and I’m losing a battle of my own that might come back to bite me on the ass if I’m not careful. My only distraction from the ensuing chaos – a bubbly blonde lead singer, destined to brighten my life. But with an all-male backup band, tensions are bound to run high when jealousy flares, and lines are blurred. She sets my pulse racing, but am I enough to kickstart her heart? 


✯✯4.5 Luminous Stars!!!✯✯

I've always been a sucker for rock star books. But, this is my first female rock band book and it didn't disappoint me at all. It did take me a bit to get into this story. But, once I did I couldn't put it down.

Mercs is a talented lighting tech and he's going on tour with Luminous an upcoming female rock band from Australia. He loves his job and he's good at it. He also has a lot on his shoulders. Mercs is leaving his gran and sick sister back home. He's going to be sending home money to help with his sisters care. What he wasn't expecting to do was fall head over heels in love with the lead singer and become overly protective of her. 

Efta's the lead singer of Luminous and they're on tour. Everything is finally running smooth since they hired the new lighting tech. But, Effa wasn't expecting to fall heads over heels for him the minute she saw him. But, her bandmates and manager are totally against the being together. Even the singer from the opening act is against it for his own selfish reasons. Effa falls head over heels for him. They fall fast and that causes problems. Effa's going to end up stuck and hurt in the middle of a war she didn't want to believe was there.

Once I got into this book I couldn't put it down. Effa is all breathe in and out. She can put her hand on you and read your energy type person. Then theres Mercs. He's a typical alpha male and very protective over the people he loves. But,  I feel he went so so over the top being they legit just met, became a thing and he's demanding things be done. Even if he was 100% correct, I felt he handled it wrong. But, that ending... OMG!! I need the 2nd part of this story and hoping the other girls get a story.    


Australian author K E Osborn was born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia. With a background in graphic design and a flair for all things creative, she felt compelled to write the story brewing in her mind.
Writing gives her life purpose. It makes her feel, laugh, cry and get completely enveloped in the characters and their story lines. She feels completely at home when writing and wouldn’t consider doing anything else.

Synopsis:

Technically, you aren’t supposed to fall in love with your best friend’s girl.
But if we’re talking technicalities, he wasn’t supposed to be cheating on her every other weekend, either. The day I met Mira York, I knew she was off-limits. But after months of stealing side-glances while he ruined the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen, I realized there wasn’t a rule in the world I wouldn’t break to make her mine. She chose him anyway. I wasn’t sure how I’d ever move on, but bitterness turned into fuel for my fire. Without Mira, I thrived. Until seventeen years later, when she showed back up, begging for protection from the very same man she’d left me for all those years earlier. Now, it was my turn to choose. And she wasn’t going to like my answer. THRIVE takes place seventeen years AFTER a love triangle.
