THE UNLUCKY ONES:
Is a complete stand-alone romance novel by new to me author ‘Stacey Marie Brown’
BEFORE:
From the age of sixteen Devon's family was reeling from the death of their father whom was killed in the line of duty, her mother at only forty seven had aged beyond her years and had barely held on, not long after her mother had lost her regular day to day job she'd had at the bakery. Her sister barely made it through college before getting knocked up by a low life abusive boyfriend and having to drop out. Thus making devon the responsible one.
NOW:
NOW:
At almost eighteen and a senior in highschool Devon has had the world put on her shoulders. Her mother has just been diagnosed with an exceedingly rare early onset of Alzheimer's. College would have to go on hold. Her dreams to study abroad were crunched. It was no secret I would be the one to help my mother. Amelia, though older, was never the responsible or compassionate one.
On that exact same day she learns that her boyfriend of three years was sleeping around behind her back with her best friend was the final nail in the coffin.
On that exact same day she learns that her boyfriend of three years was sleeping around behind her back with her best friend was the final nail in the coffin.
Love..Betrayed me..He was in a hotel room at this moment, screwing my best friend, while my mother's mind was beginning to rot away.
This led to one rash decision when an opportunity arises for her to have one reckless moment for herself with one hot life changing encounter with an exceedingly beautiful dangerous stranger in the bathroom of a diner where she'd been with her best friend commiserating with how her life had changed in the blink of an eye.
As she's leaving the bathroom red and blue flashing lights has her eyes wandering to the window where she witnesses her Uncle handcuffing the guy she'd just had sex with. A beautiful criminal. Learning much later on that his name was Finn Montgomery, him and partner had robbed a hospital for drugs more than likely to sell later on for triple the price on the black market.
FIVE YEARS LATER:
Now at the age of twenty two and with their mother's disease progressing further than the facility was capable of dealing with they had to make the hard decision of leaving the town they grew up in and moving to Albuquerque. In desperate need of finding full time employment to pay the medical bills etc that are piling up she comes across a high end sort of bar befriending the friendly bartender who hires her on the spot.
But when she meets the owner, Lincoln Kessler she feels such a deep emotional connection towards him which is unexplainable even though he's a jerk towards her from the get go. A man full of secrets. He hated her on the spot and wanted to fire her. It took a long time for her to break down his walls and find out what he was hiding.
I devoured this, inhaled it, breathed it, lived it, loved it.
I went into this completely blind, the blurb and cover caught my eye, I didn’t have any expectations going into this, though early reviews rated it highly. And I can clearly understand why because omg I fell in love with this book and these characters from the get go, heartbreaking, unique, unputdownable, undeniably good. It went from an easy 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating that quickly became a favourite read this year.
So easy to get into..Seconds, minutes, hours ceased to exist, once started it was hard to put down. A story you could connect with easily. Characters that nestled in your heart. There is nothing I would change about this book.
COMING SOON

'CHOOSING US'
Is the first full length romance novel in M. Robinson's 'Pierced Hearts' duet. Spoken in dual POV's from Camila’s present POV and Aiden’s past POV.
❝ You'll find someone who will always be there for you. ❞I don’t even know where to even begin with the writing up of this review because I can’t put into simple enough words to convey my scrambled thoughts. This book was like a puzzle that I couldn’t finish because there were so many missing pieces.
❝ I will? ❞
❝ Yes, I sweat it. ❞
❝ How do you know? ❞
❝ Because Aiden. I'll personally send her your way. I promise ❞
As you pick up the book and jump into Aiden's life story my heart just broke to smithereens for him as we first encounter him as a young boy, with the world on his shoulders trying to be the wee man of the house. Until the unthinkable happens and he's left alone in the world, scared, defenseless, becoming a ward of the state, nowhere to run to. Placed in foster care.
It's here where he meets a young girl named Bailey Button who selfishly shares food with him cementing a unique friendship in a dark unknown world. ❝ No one wanted us. No one loved us. All we had was each other. ❞ A pivotal point in time where these two form such a strong bond which becomes their everything.
These two characters loved each other undeniably, it oozed off the pages, and you could feel it simply bleeding into your heart, but somewhere along the way it all came tumbling down around them. Three children (Journey, Jackson & Jagger) left crumbling in its wake. Journey just a mere baby. A loveless household careening towards destruction, until a twenty eight year old Camila stepped in as a nanny to the children because both parents were absent from their lives and became the role model they clearly needed. A true Mary Poppins. She sprinkled love where it was so clearly lacking, a pillar of strength when she needed to be.
Without even meeting the married couple Camila already feels such a profound gravitational pull towards them, something she can't even explain.
❝ I choose us, Bailey Pierce. I will always choose us. No matter what. I choose us ❞I felt everything Aiden and Bailey went through, from their story. To their hurt and anguish. I felt Aiden's inner struggle. But above all else I felt their love. So where did things go so wrong?

TITLE: The Five
AUTHOR: Lily White
GENRE: Dark Romance
“No, Rainey. Let me look at you. I love looking at you. Even when I close my eyes, all I see is you.”
I dropped my arms, my legs trembling. This was Rowan, the sweet, kindhearted boy I loved. Yet, in that moment I feared him. The adrenaline was wearing off and I was suddenly so cold.
His lips parted as he stared at me, those blue eyes I knew so well slowly taking in my body as heat blazed behind them. He’d grown so large, twice my size at least, and it had never occurred to me how strong he was until now. Nobody would pick on him anymore. Not without getting their asses handed to them in a fight.
“Can I touch you, Rainey?” His eyes lifted to mine. “Is that all right? For me to touch you?”
“Always,” I whispered, unable to put any strength in my voice. “You can always touch me.”
He stepped forward and I stepped back out of instinct. He would never hurt me. Not Rowan. But what I saw in him now was the predator that had always lingered just beneath the surface. He wasn’t a monster like his family or David. Not him. He was something else entirely.
Pain shot through his eyes when I moved, his hands fisting at his sides. “Do I scare you now?”
Shaking my head, I forced my mouth to move. “No. It’s just -“
“Just what?”
“You’re different, Rowan. A man, I guess. You’ve grown.”
Blue eyes held mine, the darkness in them seeping away, but not entirely. His lips pulled into a tight smile. “You need a man. I’ve become exactly what you need. For you, Rainey. Not anybody else. Just for you.”
I drew in a rattling breath. “Touch me.”
Rowan moved forward and I held my ground, craning my neck to look up at him. He was shaking, his skin so cold that I knew I had to fix him somehow. “Rowan?”
“Yeah?”
“Will you kiss me?”

Water polo god.
Owner of a face that belongs under Wikipedia’s definition of drop dead gorgeous.
Too charming for his own good.
But most importantly––the worst driver on the planet.
No, really, I’m pretty sure his blind nana taught him how to drive.
I had no idea who he was until he almost ran me over. And frankly, I kind of wish I still didn’t because then I wouldn’t have a sprained ankle to show for it. And my leg wouldn’t resemble a boa constrictor that’s swallowed a feral pig.
Yeah, it’s that bad.
I’ve spent years saving every penny I’ve ever earned to be able to transfer to Malibu University. And now my entire future––including my scholarship––is in jeopardy.
So I either accept the help he insists on giving me, or lose everything I’ve sacrificed for.
In the meantime, I’m going to ignore the fact that we’re becoming friends.
And I’m definitely going to pretend he’s not turning into the object of my…umm, dirty fantasies.
That’s not happening.
Not even a little.
Because the minute I clapped eyes on him I knew he was nothing but trouble.

Newly arrival in town Alice’s day starts to slowly edge towards being one craptastic one. First her tin of crap car that she purchased on the cheap side breaks down, then she’s nearly bowled over by a jeep wrangler. Moving out of the way quickly she dives for safety eating grass and dirt as she lands. Not long afterwards it feels like a knife is carving up her ankle.
She had no idea who he was..He's a big thing on campus.
❝ He looks like a Disney prince. Clean cut, close shave. Expression open, stare earnest. He even has the requisite dip in the chin. All he’s missing is a red cloak.❞From this point onwards an up and down friendship is established, which results in them spending time with each other daily, he turns into her chauffeur whilst her ankle heals.
❝ He's a barnacle. A monkey on my back. Toilet paper stuck to my shoe. All metaphors for shit you can't get rid of.❞But over time it comes to a point where neither are wanting to give in to their attraction, which puts them both in the friends zone, both knowing deep down though that it would wreck their unusual friendship they have going on.
She's a scholarship kid needing to focus on her main goal of making independent films where she'd submit them to production companies and the like and he's focused on medical school which has them both branching away in separate directions which wouldn't work anyway.
❝ From the moment I clapped eyes on him I knew he was nothing but trouble.❞My first initial thought was these boys and this town are going to eat her alive and spit her out, but she surprised me with her sassy quick wit.
As soon as I started this I was beyond hooked, full of all one would expect of a collage romance to more, from angst, to the banter, to the swoon moments galore.
Anything with highschool jocks I am all over it!! Add in the hot guys doubly spiked up my anticipation levels. Throw in water polo which I've never read about before and I was a goner. Then the hotty on the cover, I have no shame to say that, that pretty much cinched the deal. I had to get my hands on it. And I'm glad to say that this ticked all my boxes, a slow burn between friends that simmered away in the background weakening them both into becoming more.
COMING SOON...
P. Dangelico loves romance in all forms, furry creatures, the NY Jets (although she’s reconsidering after this season), and to while away the day at the barn (apparently she does her best thinking shoveling horse poop). What she’s not enamored with is referring to herself in the third person and social media. Although she was born in Milan Italy, she’s been Jersey Strong since she turned six.
