I am so beyond excited to begin this new series by authors that I've come to enjoy so much! It's going to be amazing, I just know it!!!!!

I wondered how LLV was going to make a rag tag group of ex-cons into an MC that people would want to read about. I mean, reading the blurbs, I recognize a few names from previous books, but there were no hints at how she was going to tie it all together. I'm 4 chapters in, and I'm getting the first hints at what is coming. And its going to be BIG! I just know that this book, this series is going to be amazing!!!!

I received this ARC a couple days ago, but intentionally waited until today to begin, because I wanted it to be my first read of the year. New series by one of my very favorite authors. Sounds like a perfect way to start a phenomenal new year!

I know, from reading the blurb, as well as previous books, this book is going to be emotional. I have a feeling that it's going to rip my heart out! But I also know that this author has a way of turning tragedy into happiness, and I will finish the book satisfied with another HEA!

OMG! I can't believe I just read that! I'm totally flabbergasted! (and a little excited. Ok, Maybe a lot excited!)

I've been waiting for this book, anxiously, impatiently waiting! And now its here! And I hesitate to get started! I don't know how anyone could top the last 2 books of this series, but the last one ended so spectacularly explosively, that I know there is still more to come. Ok. Here goes nothing (or everything?!?)

I can already tell this book is gonna be a doozy! There are secrets, and hints of secrets! Something is going on, something important, and my curiosity is going crazy! There is such an amazing connection, hidden under the guise of years of acquaintanceship. They've grown up on the periphery of each other's lives since early childhood, each with their own feelings, and thoughts about the other! This is so hot!

I think what I like most about this author's writing, is that her characters are real. They aren't perfect. It makes the stories seem more believable, even though they are about professional hockey players. It makes it easier to sink into the story. And Alexei is about as imperfect as you can get. An alcoholic who thinks he can charm his therapist. How's that gonna work for him?!?

I've read (and absolutely adored!) books by both of these authors, but this book!!!! I'm at that moment. You know the one I'm talking about. The first time they lock eyes from across the room. This time? It's pure magic! My heart is beating a little faster, I've got a smile on my face! I have such high expectations from this book, and so far? Right on the money!!!!!

I've just gotten started good, and I'm already crying my eyes out! I know it has to get better, but that beginning just ripped my heart out! Gotta take a minute to get myself and then I'll dive back in!

I'm still really at the beginning, the story hasn't really gotten started, but these two characters seem really broken. I don't know their story, or why they are that way, but I can tell it's going to hurt my heart! They both seem to be quiet, reserved people, and those are the ones that are most easily damaged.

Ok, IDK how I missed the ARC of this book, but I can't wait to get started! I've been eagerly anticipating it since I closed the pages of the last book! I know it's going to be amazing, I know it promises to be an emotional roller coaster, but I know there is no way I'm going to be disappointed in this book! So, let's get started (I'm already preparing for a tearful journey!)

This entire trilogy has be packed full of twists and turns, surprises that I never would have guessed. Paris Promise started with a bang, and just kept getting stranger from there (in a good way, I promise!) Once I began this book, I had to force myself to put it down to try to put my feelings into words. Surprise, excitement, anticipation, and a bit of apprehension all combine in my gut, refusing to let go!

Mine to Protect by Kristin Mayer
This was a lot of drama and excitement in such a short story! I couldn't help but love the protectiveness and intimacy that was included in their story! Absolutely perfect!

Coming Up Roses by Michelle Windsor
This was a short romance all about a chance meeting in an airplane, flying cross country. It's steamy, and just shows you that you never know who you are going to meet in a seemingly innocent moment!

Line 39 by Verlene Landon
This is definitely and author I've not read before, but one I will be checking out. This story is one of overcoming obstacles, to find that life is still there after tragedy, and that love shows up in the most unexpected places!

Capturing Tomorrow by Haylee Thorne
This is a wonderful short story, kind of an after the HEA, but before the HEA? I know that makes no sense, but Phoenix and River (as well as all of their friends!) are happily together, but there seems to be so much more to their story! I have absolutely got to go back and start at the beginning and read this series!!!!

Where I Escape by Michelle Dare
As much as I adore romance, I love a story with a strong heroine even more. I love a story about a woman that has overcome great hardship and is rebuilding her life and moving on. Add in a man that is super supportive, and a love that is undeniable and unending, and I am in heaven! This story hits all of those points and so much more!

An update on my absolute favorite couple by one of my favorite authors! I adore Rhett and Saylor, and to be able to catch up on their life is definitely my idea of a great story! Their HEA was emotional and fun, and this short story about their "after the HEA" was just as emotional and fun! Definitely worth the wait!

Finley and Sebastian by Tara Leigh
The details and description in this short story is absolutely mind boggling! I felt like I was right there with them! And let me tell you, it was HOT! Absolutely scorching! I needed a cold shower and a cigarette after reading this one, and I don't even smoke!

Roses for Rachel by Sam JD Hunt
I've not read anything by this author, and while this story was well written, it was a bit outside of my comfort zone. Maybe a little creepy?!? I enjoyed the story, but it struck me as a bit out there. I liked the insta-love factor, and the characters were likeable, but there were parts that just put me off a bit.

Coming Home by HJ Bellus
This story starts out with disappointment and ends with hope! Annie's life is in an uproar, and a trip home to visit her family reminds her of what is important, and that there is always someone to depend on and support you in a small town. And there is a little bit of teasing for what I'm sure is going to be an amazing story to come!

Reunion by Julie A. Richman
This was definitely a story that is over the top! High School Reunion that definitely didn't turn out how Rose thought it would. I couldn't help but laugh at some places, and feel like Rose got the better deal in the end! A short, fun read about growing up, and moving on!

Love, Rose by Shari J. Ryan
This is such a sweet story! It's all about healing, in the best way for you. Rose is the type of character that you can't help but love. She is so perfectly imperfect and touches my heart. This is an uplifting story about second chances at life, and moving on!

Crush by Adriana Locke
OMG! That has got to be the hottest ONS I've ever read about! Cue Kindle Explosion! This is an sort of an introduction story, for her book Crank, and boy, does it draw you in and make you want to run to pick it up! Definitely gonna put that on my to read list!

Waking Up Forever by Amy Briggs
I'm not sure how she did it, but this author fit an entire mystery/romance in a short story! This is the "After the HEA" for her book "Dream State" which is a sort of Fairy Tale romance. The entire story had me on edge, waiting to see what would happen next, and if they would get their happy day. It was a fantastic, magical story!

Pure Rose by Kathy Coopmans
Oh boy! This book is short, sweet, and dirty! I'm surprised my kindle didn't spontaneously combust and set my house on fire!
