No Strings
Savannah
A sexy, single dad and his teenage son weren’t a part of my white picket fence fairy tale, but if life has taught me anything, it’s that things don’t always work out according to plan.
Ben offers me no-strings-attached sex, but we could never be stringless. He has a son to think about, one who’s very much a part of my life.
No matter how much I want to accept his offer, taking our relationship to the next level would leave us tangled in knots.
Benjamin
After experiencing firsthand the devastation love can cause, I knew having a family wasn’t for me. Neither was being a single dad—but here we are, trying to make it work.
The last thing I need is a distraction, but then Savannah waltzes into my world, stealing my treadmill at the gym—as well as my son’s heart.
We agreed to no strings. No complications or commitments. But I’m going back on my word because now that I know what it’s like to be with Savannah, there’s no way I’m ever letting her go.
What the Heart Wants
After losing my husband, life was all about taking care of my kids and trying to remain afloat.
Brody and Hayden crashed into my life with the force of an entire ocean.
Five years is a long time to be alone.
Now, I have not one but two sexy and successful men to drown in.
But can I handle the desires, passions, and love they both deserve?
Plus, two men mean double the heartache. And my heart? It's already mended haphazardly, cracked in multiple places from my loss.
Falling for them could be a disaster.
Choosing between them would be impossible.
But the heart wants what it wants.
And despite my better judgment, I want them both.
Oh, and did I mention that they're best friends—and want to share me?
Things just got a lot more complicated...

Can a friend with benefits situation stay just a friend with benefits situation when you share a close group of friends? He has a teenager you have become close to, live, and work in the same building? There is no way Savannah and Benjamin really think they can have a friends with benefits situation and come out of it remaining just friends, right? It isn't a typical "one night stand" their lives cross too many paths. But Savannah just had her heart broken by her ex-husband, and Benjamin has some deep routed insecurity routed from his childhood and a betrayal from the only women he ever partially let in So, the other one is looking for a relationship, yet still has an overpowering attraction to one another. Can these two get past the past to make it work? There were some good laughs, some tears, and definitely rooting for these two to make it work. I highly recommend the book as well as enough time to read this book all in one sitting because you are not going to want to put it down until the very end.

Aubree (goes by Bree) is suddenly a single mother to boy and girl four year old twins. Shortly after losing her husband her grandmother, who raised her, also passes and leaves her the family bakery. Bree throws her grief into making the bakery successful and profitable enough to take care of her kids. The one time she tried dating ended horribly when she brought up having children. So for the last almost 5 years, Bree doesn't date, and with being so busy, she doesn't realize how unhappy and lonely she truly is. That is until her best friend and co-worker, Lacey, dared her to accept a date with the next man who asked her.
Brody is a successful business man, he has money, good looks, and from what outsiders would think the perfect life. He knows he is missing something a wife and family. He lays eyes on Bree, the woman who made the crack like brownies his roommate brought home. When Brody stops in the bakery, he is smitten by Bree and asks her out. She agrees because unbeknownst to him, her best friend dared her to accept a date with the next person who asks. They have an incredible date where both feel the spark. So when Brody says he will call, Bree is shocked when he doesn't.
Hayden is Brody best friend since they were children, and they are also roommates. Hayden is also rich, successful, and a great catch. He meets Bree because of his fathers company, which Hayden is hoping to take over. Is trying to convince a bakery to end their 99-year lease on a building so they can turn it into a spa. Hayden thinks it will be no big deal to talk the owner into it. That is until hey lays eyes on her. He totally throws aside the reasoning for going there and asks her on a date. She declines. But a few days later, he goes back. She hasn't been contacted again by Brody, so she agrees to go out with Hayden.
There are only a few things, Brody and Hayden know they both have gone on dates with the same women, strangely enough they are ok with it and not jealous. Hayden and Brody are keeping some secrets, ones big enough that if the truth comes out it could all end....but for all of the things that could go wrong you will just have to read on to see.
It isn't often that a book can start you out with tears and end with tears. But this book is going to take you on an emotional ride, and some well, lots of those emotions are the tears of happiness, but some will hurt your heart for Bree. Don't let that shy you away the arrange of emotions that will captivate you in a way that only Nikki's books can. If this is your first one of her books you will be wanting to get your hands on every book she has published, and if your like me and have previously read them all you can't wait till the next comes out.

This is one duet that will sweep you away...
The first book is No Strings. Prepare to swoon for this heartwarming storyline that is my new favorite from this author. Benjamin is a man who never wanted children and was thrown into a situation which led him to become a divorced father with a teenage son. As his son is at the rebellious stage, Benjamin is making some necessary changes to ensure that his son is on the right path. Savannah is a woman who did everything she could to make a life for herself and was betrayed by the two people who were supposed to care for her. Now she is forced to start over in a new city with little money and her one friend. From the first time Benjamin and Savannah meet, there is an instant attraction but their respective pasts hold them back. Savannah is a breath of fresh air. She is spunky and radiates light even when faced with disappointment. Benjamin is a workaholic who does what needs to be done. How will they deal with starting something…They have no strings? Adding another element to the dynamic is Brody, Benjamin’s son who comes with his own issues and watching him interact with his father and Savannah is a learning experience for all three. Ms. Ash has given readers a feel-good read with some heavier topics thrown in that keep the emotion going and the pages turning.
The second book is What the Heart Wants. This is one book that stuck a knife in my heart and built me back up with these incredible characters. It is a MFM and extremely well written. Aubree is a young woman who is doing her best, after the loss of her husband, to raise her children and run her family’s bakery. Hayden is a man who is working for his father’s business in the hopes of taking over one day when he is tasked with acquiring a piece of real estate that may be out of his reach. Brody is the CEO of his own company and Hayden’s best friend. Brody and Hayden have caught the eye of Aubrey but what will happen when she finds out the truth? From the beginning I was hooked. As the pages turned, certain situations felt like what transpires in real life as the visceral descriptions of the emotion Aubree displays strike a chord. The masterful way the author crafted the building relationships is just beautiful. You may want to have tissues handy as the storyline evolves. I highly recommend this book is you enjoy reading why choose and polyamory romance.
Overall, this is one book that packs a punch and it is not to be missed.
