Taking His Risk

************

I was hurtling across the ocean, a mile high, destination unknown. I'd brought a passport and nothing else.

He seemed determined to make everything in my life brand new. He revealed me, peeling back layer after layer until all that was left was my raw intimate core. Yet, I hardly knew him. 

Crazy is a pretty good word for the kind of uncertainty that comes with a man like Tristan King. I never knew what the day would bring, but I began to expect surprises. That was the biggest problem. Managing my expectations with a man who'd told me I couldn't have any.

For a regular girl, falling for a man like him was taking a very big chance. Was it really possible to love one day at a time?

**********

This installment was nothing but bliss - almost. There's a treat again Raina's family and it's not because of the union it's because of Tristan. Tristan opens up to Raina more and more but there is still the one rule that she seems not be able to get over. When Raina thinks about a future with Tristan is it what she can live with? We will have to read "Keeping his Promise" to find out how their story ends.

The Edge of Never

Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart.

Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she's ever known, far behind.

With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love.

But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she'd do. He shows her what it's really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew's dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?

oh my word this book was AMAZING!!!!!!

At first when Camryn meet Andrew and things started moving along I was worried that she was never going to be able to let herself love. I was in knots when things seemed like they were going to come to and end (on more than one occasion) but then there was Andrew's secret that was lingering but really I didn't even know he had a secret until towards the end. I was never so  sick to my stomach trying to read as fast as I could and absorb everything to see if Camryn and Andrew were going to have their Happily Ever After. 

Heart wrenching Beautiful Love Story!

Will to Love

Clarise Carson was desperate to keep her newly-engaged sister from playing matchmaker at her very own engagement party. She couldn't think of anything more embarrassing than have her sister's guests see her as the loser in love who couldn't find "The One". So she dragged a handsome friend to be her "pretend" boyfriend for the night. 

Will Matthews went to his friend Rick's engagement party for one reason - to meet Rick's future sister-in-law, the writer for Lifestyle by Design magazine, in the hope that he could have an article published for his boutique travel agency service. He knew Rick had plans to introduce him to some single girl at the party but he laughed it off. He had no desire whatsoever to be in a relationship with any woman who would want commitment. He was far too focused in building his business to the success he dreamed.

When Will and Clarise met, sparks flew and there was an instant, undeniable attraction between them. With Will, Clarise found herself wanting to bury demons from the past. But Will knew what he wanted - and it wasn't a relationship.

How can Clarise stop her old wounds from opening up and bleeding again? And how can Will learn to embrace the one thing he didn't even know he wanted?

I was gifted this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

First thing that comes to mind is the cover is does not reflect the book it makes you think the story is going to be cheap if that makes any sense. The old saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" fits this cover!

First thoughts of the story was that I was getting annoyed with Clarise for her doubts about Will and not just going with it but it all worked out before I got to pissed off. The added nastiness of Karen (Will's Ex) really gets things interesting and got my blood boiling. It was rather romantic when each of them let their guards down and realized that they were actually in love. It was a great story that held my interest but not so much I couldn't put it down.
