Good morning my dear, naive friend,

I hope you’re enjoying a breakfast of regret and sorrow.

Why?

Because you sent me to work for Dean Harper, aka a control freak in a tailor-made suit. Sure he owns the trendiest restaurants in NYC, but c'mon Jo, his ego makes Kanye West look like the Dalai Lama.

He's the type of guy that only hears the word “no” when it's followed by “don’t stop.”

Working for Dean Harper would be like selling my soul to the devil…and before you say anything, I don’t care if the devil has punch-you-in-the-gut brown eyes and an ass to match. My soul isn’t for sale.

Regretfully yours,
Lily


The Allure of Dean Harper is a full-length standalone romance with overlapping characters from The Allure of Julian Lefray. Both books can be read separately. Chronologically, The Allure of Julian Lefray happens first. 
I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things...everyday.

I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things funny. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

REVIEW:

I loved this light hearted read by RS Grey. Lily and Dean had me cracking up and wanting to smack them simultaneously. Grey's writing is my most favorite thing as I find myself relating to her characters really easily. She draws you into the story quickly which makes her books "unputdownable".
Rating: 4.5 Stars

Definitely read this amazing book. It is the second, after The Allure of Julian Lefray, but can be read as a standalone.

Happy reading, friends!

***Author’s note*** Sweet Obsession can be read as a standalone novel.

Everyone knows Brooke Wicks loves to have a good time. She’s not interested in getting serious, settling down, or limiting herself to one man. So when she meets the sexy, irresistible Mason King, she sees another opportunity to let loose and go wild. But the gorgeous Aussie isn’t interested in just a quick fling with Brooke, and if she wants to get into his bed, she’s going to have to do it on his terms.

Loving fast and hard has always been Mason’s philosophy. He doesn’t want a meaningless connection, he wants it all, and he wants it with Brooke. When she makes her one desire known—to hit it and quit it—Mason wages a plan to ensure Brooke keeps coming back for more. Or so he hopes.

Getting her attention was the easy part. Keeping it might be damn near impossible.

Sweet Obsession is where the Sweet Addiction series meets the Alabama Summer series.

The Air He Breathes :: Brittainy C. Cherry :: Release Blitz and Review







Title: The Air He Breathes
Author: Romance Elements #1
Cover Design: Brittainy C. Cherry
Genre: Romance
 Release Date: September 25, 2015

I was warned about Tristan Cole.

“Stay away from him,” people said.
“He’s cruel.”
“He’s cold.”
“He’s damaged.”

It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster.

But I couldn’t do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me.

We were both empty.
We were both looking for something else. Something more.
We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.

Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.

Review:
With every Brittainy book, I fall a little more in love with her writing. Every book of hers I have read have left me feeling all the feelings. The Air He Breathes was no exception.

After losing her husband in an accident, Elizabeth is left to pick up the pieces. Their daughter, Emma, is young and is the only thing keeping Liz together. She moves away from her home and friends and stays with her mother, who is as unstable as they come. When she moves back home to work on accepting her loss, she meets Tristan.

Tristan has also lost his loved ones. His wife and son also died in an accident. He hit absolute rock bottom before becoming the town "asshole". Everyone says to steer clear of him. He's "scary" and "rude" and "an asshole". Really, he is just broken. He has never been able to 'recover' from his loss. He has written off all family and almost all friends.

They meet. Elizabeth refuses to give up on him even though he makes it clear that he doesn't want her around. The thing is she SEES him. She sees his pain, his grief, his loss. She gets it and understands him.

After butting heads, they eventually fall into some kind of sync. It works for them. They use each other to help stop missing their spouses. Tristan grows close to Emma and in a way, it helps him with missing his son. 

The twist in this story gutted me. Totally gutted me. I'm not going to spoil it but man ... what a doozy! I loved it, though. I loved how all the pieces fit together. 

My rating: 5 stars
Feelings: All of them. You may need tissues. I did.

I loved how this book spoke of so many difficult topics. Death. Suicide. Loss. Grief. Coping. Moving on with life.

I sincerely hope you check out this book. I would very, very highly recommend it.

COVER REVEAL :: Tomorrow's Lies by SR Grey




Title: Tomorrow's Lies
Series: Promises #1
Author: S.R. Grey
Genre: New Adult/Coming of Age Romance
Cover Design: Hang Le
Release Date: October/November 2015


Blurb

When today's promises become tomorrow's lies, how can you believe in anything . . . or anyone?

Jaynie Cumberland has no idea how to trust again, so she’s given up on trying. Dumped in to the state foster care system at age fourteen, Jaynie spent three years treading water, just trying to get by.

Still, Jaynie always knew she was broken in some way. After all, why did her own mother abandon her? And following a harrowing experience at her first foster home, Jaynie’s worst fears are confirmed, leaving her feeling worthless and shattered.

Now Jaynie counts the days till she turns eighteen and can go out on her own. All she wants is to be free of everyone and everything. But before that can happen, she must make it through the next few months at one final foster home. There Jaynie meets a gorgeous, albeit rough-around-the-edges, boy who is dealing with the repercussions of his own turbulent past.

Flynn O'Neill is immediately taken with this new, fragile girl. He becomes determined to show Jaynie there is more to life than hurt and pain. Unfortunately, this new home they live in, one that promised to be a haven for unwanted kids, is more like a living hell.

So what do you do when you’re trapped and there’s no way out?

What if you fall in love and protecting the other person becomes the most important thing in your life?

What if something unthinkable happens, testing your love, and the stakes are raised higher than ever? Will you come out unscathed? Can today’s promises be kept? Or will they simply become more of tomorrow’s lies?

Tomorrow’s Lies is a beautiful story of an all-consuming love and broken people building a family out of nothing. It's about never giving up, even in the face of adversity. 

Note: NO cliffhanger!








Excerpt

“Today’s promises are nothing but tomorrow’s lies. Isn’t that what you once told me?”

“I didn’t mean for it to ever apply to us, Jaynie,” Flynn says.

“But, it could. We can’t predict the future.”

“Stop it,” he pleads.

I back off, whisper a gentle, “You’ll find me, then?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Say it again.”

“Jaynie…”

Flynn scrubs his hands down his face, then tilts his head back to stare up at the starless night. His eyes are wet, glistening.


He is breaking right along with me.
