The Zodiac Lovers #1
Aquarius: Mr. Humanitarian
PLEASE NOTE: This book contains adult content.
Aiden Summers appears to be your average guy, but the truth of his nature lies just beneath the surface. After enduring a less than ideal childhood with his alcoholic single mother, he vowed to make a difference in the world - to help those who worked hard but needed assistance in finding not a job, but a career. He works as a vocational counselor at one of the top employment agencies in Seattle, Washington, and is considered one of the city's most eligible bachelors. Aiden enjoys his work, but has been keeping a family stressor under wraps, one that has weighed on his mental and emotional health. Although the commitment type, he would much rather be alone than with someone who is not good for his mind, body, and spirit.
Enter a new client, Addison Blue, who grew up in one of Mercer Island's most prestigious neighborhoods. The middle daughter of upper echelon African American parents and born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Addison has always wanted to make her way on her own. But, unfortunately, life has dealt her a mighty blow, and she finds herself not only divorced from her emotionally abusive ex-husband, but looking for love and work in all the wrong places.
That is, until she walks into Aiden Summers' office, and a connection is formed that neither of them predicted or deemed possible. Aiden is a born helper, Addison is a born rebel - together, they will either clash or make a beautiful pairing. What was seen as forbidden is now their norm, and their existence in each other's world changes their lives forever. What does one do when one has so much to say, but no voice to say it with? What happens when a man with secrets and undisclosed pain bursts free and falls in love with a woman who is willing to start over again? On one condition though - that he tells the truth. Not to the world … but to himself.
Read "Aquarius - Mr. Humanitarian" to find out how love is found when it's least expected!

I love this series, and this second book was amazingly good. A story not just about deep love in several forms, as well as forgiveness and courage. There's nothing monumental or over the top in these expressions, but the everyday hurdles that life brings our way. Addison and Aiden's story is a sweet second chance for two lonely people.

Aquarians need healing too!
On the outside, Aiden was a loving and helpful person, he went above and beyond to do his job well helping other people in need. It was not until Addison Summers walked into his office and life in need that she made him realize that he needed to take care of himself too. His alcoholic mother sucked the life out of he and his brother Perry with her drugging, drinking and selfishness. He came to understand, with Addison's help that he and his brothers were enablers in their mother's addiction. She had to hit rock bottom and want help on her own.
Tiana wrote a heart touching story about how alcoholism affects the love ones around them. A mother's youthful behavior can have devastating effects on her children, especially when one is an Aquarian, the healer and humanitarian. Aiden came to understand that his mother's actions were all her doing and not his fault. With Addison in his life, she showed him that he was worthy of being loved himself. Together, they healed each other of past hurts and began their own HEA.

Addison & Aiden
I didn't think it was possible to love Mr. Aquarius more than Mr. Capricorn, but I do. Their story held my interest from beginning to end. One of my favorite types of stories is always when two broken individuals find each other; fall in love and have a happy ending.
Addison, even though she came from a well to do background with loving parents, married an emotional abusive man. After her divorce, she was both broke and broken.
Aiden, had a rough childhood with a severe alcoholic for a mother and an absentee father. Regardless of his upbringing he strove to make a good life for himself and his younger brother.
When they met there was instant chemistry. I enjoyed their journey, it was a good feel story. I strongly recommend the series so far. Each story is about a real life issue as well as a great romance.

Loving a good hearted man
With love, compassion and sexual fervor, Tiana Laveen manifests the adage, “give until it hurts”! She tells the story of two lovers, one whose past is shielded by a nurturing personality, savior mentality and sense of obligation and the other whose world is shattered by fraud, lies and deceit. She shows how the very best part of us, can be our Achilles Heel.
Aiden Summers and Addison Blue are worlds apart in every way. But on there first meeting, the attraction they feel toward each other pulls them together like a magnet. It is this attraction that evolves into the love of a lifetime. The only thing that can destroy it, is the wall Aiden hides behind.

This is all I have to say:
Aiden, you stupid fuck, after everything your mother went through you still thought it was fine to reconnect with that good for nothing cheating deadbeat sperm donor of yours. You insensitive walking STD, just the fact that the two people who suffered the most from your "Dad's" bloody mistake , namely Barbara and Vicki, were absent in your epilogue cookout and you still went ahead with it just shows how selfish you truly turned out to be. I hope to God Addison dumps your syphilitic ass and gets full custody of Allison because guess what karma's a bitch, Bitch.
Enough said.

Aquarius
This story started out slow and i thought i wasn’t going to like it. I was so disappointed because I’m an Aquarius and knew i would relate to the characteristics of this story. Instantly when i got to the first interaction between Addison and Aidan. I love how they didn’t instantly fall head over heals on the first glance at each other. They really LOOKED at her each other and boom the attraction came. I thought Capricorn was great but damnit Mr Aquarius was so damn beautiful i loved him.

The main character reminded me of a female version of my sister who is the same horoscope. Only problem with her is she is in denial that she needs to fix herself before she can fix or help anyone else. I’m glad Aiden came to terms about himself and Addison was the right type of woman to bring it out of him. Despite all Aiden went through just glad he finally gave his mother an ultimatum. I can’t wait for the next story.

A nice February read
Such a good story. I like the progression of the relationship. The author gave us a complete story, with an epilogue. I like that several issues were addressed in addition to the love story: work, parents.
I started the series with Aquarius, appropriate since it is February when I read this. I will definitely read the rest of the series. Interesting concept.

Another Winner
Author, T Laveen really weaves a story that is always fulfilling and she definitely brought her 'A' game here. Always interesting, filled with humor, real romance and intimacy, imperfect but lovable characters, I never miss when I purchase Ms Laverne books. Even with this compact novel. I love her books.

Magic
As always your mind and thought process is amazing! It's such a gift to make women fall in love with a hero because we need him to be as realistic as possible. You not only have that gift you surpass it. I thought Pisces was my favorite but then I read Taurus, now after reading this I'm at an enjoyable impasse. As always thanks again! 😃

A beautiful story I may add. Aiden has a good heart with a emotional gate held high. Addison on the hand is starting over and can see the pain Aiden try to hide. I recommend this e-book. Read their journey to their happy ending.

Cool
This series keeps getting better.Although this is only the second book I like the direction it's going in. Again and Addison were a cute couple. Not rich and they both dealt with everyday life issues.

Wanted more....
But this is a great story. I loved the characters development and the timeline changes. I would love to read more about Aiden and Addison. Hopefully Perry will get his own story and we can catch up with the whole clan.

This is a story of how two people fall in love.
Instead of whirlwind of instead love, hot sex and insecurities for love for each other, you get to read about how two people become attracted to each othe, act on it, fight and build each up into something better.
Truely refreshing...

Aiden and Addison were a cute couple. Aiden and Perry this brother had a terrible upbringing with an alcoholic mother and absentee fathers. Addison was recovering from a terrible marriage. Both had issues but were able to break and overcome them with the help of one another.
