That became a pattern in my life. It was the way the chips fell. I’m destined to be that girl that fell for the wrong guy. If he was a liar and a cheat, I found him or he found me. It didn’t really matter how it happened, it just always did.
But when I met Jake, I thought he was different. He was just a guy trying to get by, much like me in a sense. He was happy with the little things in life…he made me feel safe and settled.
That was until I found out that his name, his life, and the man he pretended to be, were nothing but a fraud. He used me to get the answers he needed, and in the process, he managed to take my last ounce of hope and crush it.
I just wanted him gone. I wanted to forget the times we shared, the laughs we had. I wanted to ignore the fact that he’d so easily found a place in my heart.
Only there was one problem… I wasn’t allowed to forget.
I am reminded daily of him. Each morning, I have no choice but to look into the same, beautiful eyes he possessed. I see his smile, and that same shade of dark melted chocolate hair that at one point, I loved running my fingers through.
Every single day I reminded of the fact that the father of my child is nothing more than a man that truly never existed.
💭 This story is about second chances. About deceiving, betrayals and secret baby. Mixed feelings while reading the book. Don’t really know what to think about Jake’s character and his fast succession in joining the police force. Kind of doesn’t make sense to me at all.
There are four books in total in this series. It started with Vanished.
Synopsis: ➡️When an eleven-year-old is abducted on her way to school, the FBI doesn’t waste a moment, sending agents to scour the area and embedding Special Agent Ava McLane with the distraught family. In the eye of the storm is local detective Mason Callahan, whose life is crumbling to pieces—he’s related to the victim, and his longtime confidential informant has just been murdered.
Both he and Agent McLane hole up in the victim’s family home. Every second counts in a kidnapping case, and the stakes keep rising the longer the girl is missing. As Ava and Mason struggle to hold the family together in their darkest hour, the two investigators find themselves drawn to each other.
💭Ava and Mason met when his ex-wife’s stepdaughter went missing one day. Mason and his ex-wife shared a son together and his son seems devastated when his stepsister went missing. Mason has been alone for a long time and he doesn’t seem to mind it until Ava walked into his life. Together, they try to solve the kidnapping/ abduction mystery. Not only that, Mason is suspected of murdering his informant. She turned up dead with his fingerprints everywhere, including the murder weapon. So who’s trying to frame Mason?
Synopsis: ➡️After a congressman’s tortured body is found dangling from a Portland bridge, the FBI joins the Oregon State Police to investigate the case—and FBI Special Agent Ava McLane, still recovering from a bullet wound, hunts the twisted killer alongside the man who captured her heart, police detective Mason Callahan.
But once a third body appears and all evidence points to a serial killer, the public furiously clamors for answers—and the couple’s relationship grows fractured under the pressure. Ava and Mason search in the past for clues that predict the future. And when Ava’s mentally ill twin spins out of control, the FBI agent who battles monsters every day wonders if she shares her sister’s self-destructive streak…
In the latest thrilling romantic suspense novel from award-winning author Kendra Elliot, the past and the present violently collide…and the fallout can be deadly.
💭A congressman dead body is found. His death brings a lot of attention to the case. Then another guy is dead and they know is linked when their deaths are similar. But what’s the connection between these guys? The body counts start rising and Ava crossed path with her attention seeker twin once more when she saw her with the man who broke into Mason’s place. Despite her knowing that man is abusing her, Ava’s twin chose to run after the man. Leaving her sister behind. What I really hated about this book?? Too much had written about Ava’s twin. Whenever I hear her appearing on my audible, I tend to tense and skipped it. She totally ruined my mood with her appearance.
Synopsis: ➡️FBI Special Agent Ava McLane solves crimes; she doesn’t witness them. When she’s trapped in a mall without her weapon as a shooter picks off victims, she hides with a wounded teen and prays for her survival.
But that’s only the beginning…
An epidemic of mass shootings has swept across Oregon. The young shooters terrify the public, committing random murders before taking their own lives. The task force assembled to solve the case—which includes Ava’s boyfriend, detective Mason Callahan—remains stumped. And on top of this chaos, Ava’s troubled twin sister reappears, throwing Ava’s already-tumultuous life into a tailspin.
An old-fashioned cop with a strong sense of duty, Mason struggles to find the cause of the shootings as workaholic Ava spins ever closer to breaking down. But can one detective save the lives of countless innocents—and prevent the woman he loves from going over the edge?
💭What happen when you’re having some free time with your yoga friend when a shooter turns up at the mall and start shooting? That’s what happen to Ava. But that’s not the end. Another mass shooting happened again. And the shooter are young. Really young. So what really happen? Are they friends who decided that they’re going to do this? And of cos the attention seeker twin is back and demand more attention when she realised that Ava has not been updating her whereabouts. Not to mention the surprise when they uncover the truth behind the shootings.
Synopsis: ➡️All Detective Mason Callahan wanted was a quiet fishing trip with the guys—a chance to get away and unwind before Halloween.
Until he finds the body of his boss, Denny Schefte, near their remote Oregon cabin. Now all he wants is to catch the sadist who slit Denny’s throat and covered his face with a mask. Mason was the last person to see him alive and will stop at nothing to find his friend’s murderer.
When the FBI learns of the mask left at the scene, they realize they have a serial killer on their hands—one who is targeting cops. They assign the case to Special Agent Ava McLane, despite her engagement to Mason. Barely recovered from her own nearly fatal injury and her sister’s attempted suicide, Ava hopes she is ready to chase another killer.
But as she delves into the increasingly disturbing case, the killer may be closer than expected—dangerously close.
💭 Finally, the last of the series. And my favourite of them all. Mason is enjoying his fishing trips with his detective buddies when he found his boss, dead. But he’s not the only one. Someone has been targeting law enforcements but who? Since he/she’s been doing a good job escaping from the police/FBIs. And what a surprise when you realised the motive behind all these murders.
Overall, I do enjoy the series. But Ava’s twin, Jayne, destroy whatever patience and sanity that I had. She’s destructive yet she’s appearing everywhere in the book.
I read the series a few years back but I couldn’t remember the storyline. So I went back and re-read the series. And, I must admit that I like the other series better.
Have you ever had that dream? The one where you’re up at the front of a class to give a presentation that you’re completely unprepared for and the entire room is sitting there, waiting for you to get on with it. But when you look down, you realize that you’re naked. Completely naked.
Usually, at that point in the dream, you bolt upright in bed, chest heaving, sweat on your brow and realise that – thank god – it was just a dream.
Well, as I stand here at the back door, blinking impishly into the chiseled face of the strikingly handsome man standing shirtless in front of me, I realize to my horror that there is no waking up. This is no dream. This is my reality. There’s a little boy on my porch staring up at me through the stretched-out leg holes of my super-sized red granny panties.
I’m going to need years of therapy to recover from this traumatic event. The tall, tan sculpture of male perfection snatches the underwear off of the child’s head and scolds him sternly. “Brenton Montgomery—what is wrong with you?!”
“But, daddy—I’m Spiderman!” Innocent puppy dog eyes blink in his father’s direction.
“But, nothing. You know better than to do something like this!” He’s fuming. Face red. Nostrils twitching. “…And Spiderman doesn’t wear a cape!” The stranger’s broad chest heaves as he turns his attention to me. He looks as mortified as I feel. “I am so, so sorry,” he tells me with an earnest expression, his iridescent blue irises glimmering despite the heavy bags beneath them. “He just…he…” The man’s deep voice trails off and his eyes flutter shut as he shoves a frustrated hand through his hair.
My eyes fall to the panties still clenched in the fingers of his other hand. But I’m in too much shock to speak. Instead, my gaze explores the rock hard body on display in front of me. And my armpits go damp. He’s hot. Really hot. My antiperspirant isn’t strong enough to combat this level of man-heat.
Lover BoySYNOPSIS ⬇️From the first time I meet Leo Montgomery, I know that I’m in trouble. His dark, heated gaze skittering down my body sets my skin on fire. A rare sighting of his elusive, heart-stopping smile and—dear lord—I think I just ovulated. But then, he hires me to babysit his adorable little troublemaker after school and now my maternal instincts are working overtime.
It was never supposed to be more than a harmless crush on my older brother’s best friend.
But (accidentally) showing him my enormous, red granny panties was probably my first mistake. (Apparently, he’s into that sort of thing.)
That slow, sensual kiss on the back porch didn’t help matters, either.
We need an outlet for the combustible sexual tension between us. There’s no denying it. But he says he can’t be my boyfriend. He won’t let me into his closely guarded heart.
I tell him that’s okay. After all, we don’t need a title. We don’t need to be together. We can just be lovers. Can’t we?
Well, as it turns out, the road to hell is paved with good intentions…and enormous, red granny panties.
💭 What can I say about this book? Hilarious? It’s really hilarious when you read the whole book and of cos please expect some heartbreaking scenes. I mean there’s gonna be such angst in the book to bring you the high and low. I definitely enjoy this book more than I should be enjoying.
Leo had issues. Issues which he refused to tell Reese about it. Issues thinking that he’s not good enough for the innocent woman. And he might act like an a**hole when it comes to ‘choosing’ his son’s welfare or his own happiness.
My grandmother laughs. “You’ve heard the old saying -time flies when there’s an open bar.”
“Well, it was an amazing evening,” I say as I lean in and hug her before moving on to Edward.
“It eas lovely having the two of you,” she says, turning her hugs to Charlie. “I’ll see you next week?”, she asks.
“Anyway, thank you for coming.” Edward tightens his grip on his new wife’s arm. “What’d you say we go consummate this marriage, honey?”
Granny rolls her eyes and then brings her laughing gaze to us. “He’s all talk. He’s about to go fall asleep on the toilet before he even manages to take his dentures off.”
Cringing at it all, I close my eyes and nod. “Thank you for that glimpse into your domestic situation. Appreciate it.”
The newlyweds giggle to themselves as they walk away, hand in hand.
Play BoySYNOPSIS ⬇️Charlie Hartley is the thing that addictions are made of. At least that’s what I’ve heard from the parade of desperate women who’ve gone through his bedroom’s revolving door.
Brash and unapologetic, tattooed and insanely handsome. I’m sure there’s a Charlie Addicts Anonymous meeting taking place somewhere in the great state of Illinois as we speak.
I’ve become really good at keeping him at arm’s length and keeping my silly crush under control. After all, it’s a skill I’ve been perfecting since the first time he stood up to a bully for me back in the 8th grade.
But when he offers to escort me to my 83-year-old grandmother’s wedding, I start seeing him in a new light. Maybe there’s more to him than that smoking hot body and those playful, flirtatious eyes.
Now, we’re growing closer, crossing lines, shattering boundaries. I’ve strutted out of the friend zone and straight into his bed.
But that’s perfectly fine because I’m a tough girl. I can manage a juvenile, little crush. And there’s no chance that a guy like Charlie will start catching feelings for me.
One drunken night of hot sex won’t change our friendship…Will it?
💭Compared to the first book, I’m kind of disappointed by this. I thought there’d be more actions, sparks an emotional roller coaster but it’s kind of peaceful. And I don’t understand what’s wrong with Nova though.
I feel the earth shift under my feet as water beats down on the tiles all around me and the suddenly-suffocating steam casts a surreal mist over the narrow shower stall. I’m bent over with the razor in my hand, my attention transfixed to my crotch. The lone, pioneering white strand pokes out of my dark, neatly groomed rug. Strong and defiant.
A tiny squeak manages to erupt from my constricted throat. I totter, a little unsteady on my feet. My head feels light. I’ve been blindsided. Ambushed by my bush. Nothing quite prepares you for this moment.
In any case, even after that relationship ended in an epically disastrous way four years ago, I held out hope that I’d find someone. Someone tall with good teeth, broad shoulders and kind eyes. Someone with decent taste in wine, an appreciation for post-impressionist art and a diverse portfolio of reliable, long-term investments. Someone who showers daily without having to be lured, coerced or threatened. A good, responsible guy. That’s all I ever wanted.
But apparently, that’s too much to ask in a place like Copper Heights. The population of single males in this town is so meagre that a woman has a better chance of getting abducted by an unidentified flying object than finding a guy who’s right for her.
My life was meticulously organized, painstakingly structured and impeccably sanitary…until he rolled into town with his bad manners, his short temper and his cocky smirk. Now, he’s opened up his grungy barbershop right next door to my pristine cupcake shop, bringing along his clientele of sketchy, leather-loving motorcycle guys with broken noses.
He’s infuriating. Having him around brings out the worst in me. All of a sudden, I’m acting on impulse. First, I’m flinging a handful of over-ripe raspberries at his back. Then, I’m screwing him on the countertop between the cash register and the cakepop display.
Waking up with a blanked-out memory on his threadbare sheets is unquestionably the low-point of my life. Except now, the only thing I hate more than Clinton himself is the fact that I’m starting to fall head over heels for him.
He has a secret that will rock the foundation of all the things I believe in. But it’s foolish to jump to conclusions because, in some stories, it’s not easy figuring out exactly who the bad guy is.
💭 Hey! I didn’t think that I’d like this book but I did! It’s definitely the best out of the three siblings that I’ve read. And please hold. There’s some dirty secrets, as well as scandalous ones too.
I storm over to her and twist her chair around before unceremoniously hauling her up by the armpits. The familiar scent of her shampoo fills my sense of smell, making my gut clench sharply. Tamping down the need, I loop an arm around her waist and throw her over my shoulder, butt in the air. With a tight grip on the backs of her knees, I stomp toward the door.
She makes her displeasure loud and clear, swinging her legs, hollering and slapping my back with the turkey breast as I carry her down the now-empty hallway. I’ve got to say that this is a first. I’ve never been assaulted with a piece of poultry in the line of duty before. This job is full of surprises.
Hot BoySYNOPSIS ⬇️Save a fire truck. Ride a firefighter. Isn’t that what they say?
Ben Riggs says he loves me. He says he hasn’t stopped thinking about me since he broke my heart and chased me out of town all those years ago…
I say liar liar pants on fire.
And boy, do those bright yellow, flame-resistant fireman pants look good on him. I’m aching to feel those big, rough hands clenching on my hips and to collect on the illicit promises burning in his dark blue eyes.
Self-control goes up in flames every time he flashes that arrogant smile. So I give in—because a woman has needs. (Am I right, ladies?) He can have my body but my heart is off-limits. I’ve worked hard over the past few years to prove to myself that I can be successful without him in my life.
But Ben says he won’t stop until he wins me back—mind, body and heart. He says I’d better stop trying to resist him. He may be a fireman but I’m the one fighting like hell against the inferno of lust and nostalgia closing in on us.
And it’s a fight I can’t afford to lose…
💭 Not as interesting as book three but it’s still entertaining as ever. Especially the suspense. The secret behind why Ben broke things off with Angie. Oh and not to forget why Angie came back to her hometown. The scandalous affair that she had makes her famous enough that most hospitals wouldn’t want to hire her.
This is book 2 of Angie Pallorino’s ‘adventure’ and it’s advisable to read this in sequence, if not you’ll miss the points and it’s very confusing.
Angie has been having anger issues and she always brushed it off as working too hard and also she’s working in the sex crime department. Until the case she’s pursuing escalated whereby the rapist now killed the victims he raped. And that’s when she met Maddocks again.
Angie took down the rapist/killer and she overdid it.
Many detectives are dying to see her go down since they are not very welcoming about a woman working as a detective.
Angie is determined to uncover the truth behind her abandonment. She wanted to know who’s her birth parents. She wanted to know who is she.
The Lullaby Girl
BLURB: ⬇️
Detective Angie Pallorino took down a serial killer permanently and, according to her superiors, with excessive force. Benched on a desk assignment for twelve months, Angie struggles to maintain her sense of identity—if she’s not a detective, who is she? Then a decades-old cold case washes ashore, pulling her into an investigation she recognizes as deeply personal.
Angie’s lover and partner, James Maddocks, sees it, too. But spearheading an ongoing probe into a sex-trafficking ring while keeping Angie’s increasing obsession with her case in check is taking its toll. As startling connections between the parallel investigations emerge, Maddocks realizes he has even more than Angie’s emotional state to worry about.
Driven and desperate to solve her case, Angie goes rogue, risking her relationship, career, and very life in pursuit of answers. She’ll learn that some truths are too painful to bear, and some sacrifices include collateral damage.
But Angie Pallorino won’t let it go. She can’t. It’s not in her blood.
It’s very violent when you imagined the scenes. The way they killed the women. It really gets under my skin when I thought about it. I started reading this book when I wanted to clear my TBR and I forget about the first book story. I went back and reread to refresh my memory and I finally realised what am I reading.
I dived into this book after ‘refreshing’ my memory and I was hooked. I like the way how Maddocks and Angie interacts. It isn’t the insta love type of scenario where they fell in love and solve crimes together and get their happily ever after. NOPE! It’s more realistic when Angie is working out her problems as well as Maddocks. Angie had trust and commitment issues so it’s very interesting to read how Maddocks dug his way through her defence. And at the same time, Angie knew that Maddocks is a good guy and she’s afraid that she doesn’t deserve him.
As usual, there are always assholes in the book. AND the assholes are very much alive and kicking. SO I was hoping that something bad might happened to them in the next book.
But before you start reading ‘The Drowned Girls’, I have to warn you about the violence and ugliness in the book. It’s very real when you imagined the scenes.
Introverted Daisy McGregor is used to being a wallflower, but what she lacks in style, she makes up for with an acerbic wit, a passion for life, and a deep devotion to her family. So she’ll suffer through her sister Dahlia’s bachelorette party and accept the cloud of pity for going stag to the wedding.
Out at the pub, sexy bad boy Mason Carlisle is a reluctant wingman tasked with entertaining Daisy while his brother flirts with her oldest sister, Daffodil. When the plan fails and Mason’s true intent is revealed, he feels intense guilt—and a sensual spark of desire for the unlikeliest of women.
Daisy decides to use this unfortunate encounter to her advantage: to make it up to her, Mason will be another kind of wingman, playing the role of her boyfriend and wedding date. Will their ruse unravel completely—or will Mason and Daisy’s undeniable attraction ignite a scorching love affair that knows no rules?
He’s the dream man of almost every women. The bad boy who became a hero and supermodel before owning a security company with one of his buddies. Now he’s one of the millionaires and he’s also one of the eligible bachelors. Women want to be with him since he’s hot and rich.
Mason doesn’t judge someone by their looks. He knew how that feels when women treating him as arm candy when he’s working as security. He like Daisy since she’s an intelligent woman who knows what she wants even though he hated that people around her kept insulting or making fun of her.
Daisy has been compared to her beautiful sisters for as long as she lives and breathes. Her eldest sister is the cute one, her middle sister is the pretty one and she’s the other one. She has very low esteem when it comes to herself.
I like how she and Mason bonded even though he felt guilty for making her sad but he didn’t want to admit that he likes spending time with her. He’s attracted to her. He wouldn’t want to want her since he cannot give her hearts and flowers.
I had a good time reading this book although there are lots of idiots who I really like to smack.
All Aubrey Ellis wants is a normal life, one that doesn’t include desperate pleas from the dead. Her remarkable gift may help others rest in peace, but it also made for an unsettling childhood and destroyed her marriage. Finally content as the real estate writer for a local newspaper, Aubrey keeps her extraordinary ability hidden—until she is unexpectedly assigned the story of a decades-old murder.
Rocked by the discovery of a young woman’s skeletal remains, the New England town of Surrey wants answers. Hard-nosed investigative reporter Levi St John is determined to get them. Aubrey has no choice but to get involved, even at the terrifying risk of stirring spirits connected to a dead woman’s demise and piquing her new reporting partner’s suspicions.
As Aubrey and Levi delve further into the mystery, secrets are revealed and passion ignites. It seems that Aubrey’s ghost gifts are poised to deliver everything but a normal life.
Ready for some ???
First, this is my first time reading a book by this author. She’s new to me. The blurb of the book makes it sound so interesting that I decided to pick it up.
Let’s see. Aubrey Ellis is a reporter who covers mainly about real estate. But then her chief editor put her to work with another reporter, Levi St John, to cover a story about a dead body found in the wall at a house’s basement. Aubrey doesn’t want to cover this story since she felt that the spirit will be very hateful and vengeful.
The story is narrated between now and twenty years ago. Now is about how they’re going to uncover the truth about the dead girl’s death. Twenty years ago is about the dead girl’s life. What she’s been doing etc.
The plot is good but the pace is slow. Romance is not that much and it’s kind of stiff to me.
Being in love with someone who doesn’t love you back sucks.
Being in love with your brother’s best friend sucks even more, because you know it can never happen. How tragic is that?
I’ve been in love with Lincoln Andrews since we were kids and he stuck up for me against my brother and played tea parties with me in the treehouse. I’ve also avoided him for the past year because he broke my heart…more than once.
Now we’ve been thrown together at a tropical resort to celebrate my parents’ second wedding, and things are intense and getting worse, no thanks to an insane plan my friends cooked up to get me my dream man.
No one else even comes close to what Linc means to me. He’s always there for me, but is it because he cares for me too—or only because I’m his best friend’s little sister?
It’s time I find out once and for all…but what if our crazy plan blows up in my face and ruins everything?
BOOK Title: Indie and the Brother’s Best Friend
Author: R. Linda
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Young Adult
I might have high hope with this book but it isn’t what it seems to me. There are too many characters in the story and if you miss the first book, you might have a little hard time to follow the story. And that’s what I’m feeling while I first started.
The main characters in the story are Indie and Lincoln. But it seems to me the side characters are having too much appearance in the book since the book is kind of short.
As for the plot? I don’t really understand what’s the big problem. It’s not like they’re related or what. He’s just her brother’s best friend and what’s the problem?
Do I like the book? Nope. IT doesn’t make sense to me especially the pet names they gave each other. It’s just an okay read for me.
No one is more familiar with Savannah’s dark side than homicide detective and native resident Elise Sandburg. She’s been haunted for years by her own mysterious past: she was abandoned as a baby in one of the city’s ancient cemeteries, and it’s rumored that she is the illegitimate daughter of an infamous Savannah root doctor. The local Gullah culture of voodoo and magic is one that few outsiders can understand, least of all Elise’s new partner. Now someone is terrorizing the city, creating real-life zombies by poisoning victims into a conscious paralysis that mimics death. As the chilling case unfolds, Elise is drawn back into the haunted past she’s tried so hard to leave behind.
Let’s see….. This is a bit different since we have some voodoo involved.
Men who are supposed to be dead suddenly came alive in the morgue. Of cos people are scared cos a supposed dead man is not dead. So what’s the link between this almost dead man and the other guy whose murder is still unsolved?
Men are dying. But they are in prostitution business and they have a tattoo behind their backs. All of them have the same. It’s a protective charm, so they say.
Elise is a mystery herself since she’s being abandoned in the cemetery when she’s a baby. And folks have been spreading rumors that she’s evil or her heritage is evil since her eyes are not normal colors.
David is another wounded soldier who has a very sad past. I couldn’t fathom what really happen to him that makes him so detach until the truth came out. It’s so sad and heartbreaking.
Overall, this book is nice to read cos there isn’t’ instalove between the characters and I kind of enjoy that since they’re building the relationship slowly. Looking forward to book 2 soon.
When a woman’s body is discovered submerged in a crab pot in the chilly waters of Puget Sound, Detective Tracy Crosswhite finds herself with a tough case to untangle. Before they can identify the killer, Tracy and her colleagues on the Seattle PD’s Violent Crimes Section must figure out who the victim is. Her autopsy, however, reveals she may have gone to great lengths to conceal her identity. So who was she running from?
After evidence surfaces that their Jane Doe may be a woman who suspiciously disappeared months earlier, Tracy is once again haunted by the memory of her sister’s unsolved murder. Dredging up details from the woman’s past leads to conflicting clues that only seem to muddy the investigation. As Tracy begins to uncover a twisted tale of brutal betrayal and desperate greed, she’ll find herself risking everything to confront a killer who won’t go down without a deadly fight.
Tracy Crosswhite who wanted to be a police officer was when her sister went missing and her body was never found. Until one day after more than a decade, her sister remains were being uncovered. Till today, her sister’s death and murderer still remain a mystery.
Tracy is the only woman in the homicide department and she got along well with her co-workers except for her Captain. He always used the case as a chance to be interview until the last recent ones. The one he did fucked up but he got off with written reprimand letter which doesn’t satisfy me cos I dislike that man to the max! From the first book to now.
So this case we have Tracy investigating the death of a ‘Jane Doe’ who went for reconstructive surgery and using a fake ID. Seems like she’s trying very hard to cover her tracks and hiding from someone. But who?
This is not a romantic suspense genre book. There’s some romance in it but not much.
They had it all.
Or so they thought.
A fairytale kind of romance that started with a girl and a boy falling head over heels in love.
This isn’t that part of the story. This is what happens after the happily ever after. After careers blossom, babies, stretch marks, and carpools.
Nadia is lost. As much as she loves her life, she hardly recognizes the reflection in the mirror. All she sees is his wife, their mom.
Owen works hard. Somewhere between his career and life, working to provide everything possible for his girls, he lost track of what was important.
After one too many broken promises, cold shoulders, and nonexistent attempts at trying to work on ‘them’, she is ready for her life to change. When she does, he wakes up and realizes his own mistakes.
Do Owen and Nadia have something worth saving?
This is not about their courting days. This is about after their married life.
Owen and Nadia had been married for fourteen years and they a pair of twin daughters. Nadia is the homemaker where she looks after their daughters and house and Owen is out working. Sounds familiar??? But.. Owen has been staying away more than he ever notices. He’s been working late and he missed their date nights or even some outings with their daughters. Owen doesn’t realize that there’s a problem between Nadia and him until she told him that she’s taking a break and will be bringing the girls to the house that they bought long ago.
Communications breakdown. Taking things for granted. This is what Nadia and Owen are facing in their marriage. This book is about how they work out their problems or didn’t work out their problems.
No om/ow drama. It’s an okay read for me since I’ve been itching to smack Owen.

when she’s a baby. And folks have been spreading rumors that she’s evil or her heritage is evil since her eyes are not normal colors. 
My own world of books and thoughts
