Title: Refresh
Author: S. Moose
Genre: New Adult/Romantic Suspense
Release Date: July 25, 2016

Blurb

What's left when perfection is gone?

Perfection slipped through Caroline Spencer's fingers. One moment she had it all, and then it was gone. All she has left are her memories, her pain, and her close friends.

And Mason Ryan was not part of her plan--wasn't even on her radar. After all, he was her husband's best friend. But now that her husband is gone, he's the only person who understands her, feels what she feels, and knows her inside and out.

Together, they try to rearrange the shattered pieces of their pain.

Sharing their grief pulls them closer together--closer than either of them want to admit and Mason won't allow himself to fall for his best friend's widow. Ultimately, he's holding the one secret that will destroy Caroline--a secret he cannot even bear himself.

Will they find a way to refresh their lives when the pain of the past won't dissolve?

Excerpt
"Let me add," she says with a smirk, "sex and Mason are like desserts."

"What?" I burst out laughing.

"Now listen to me. Sex and Mason are like desserts. There are many sides of Mason and sex consists of different positions all of this like dessert. You see a dessert case and there's everything from fruit tarts to red velvet cake to brownies."

"I'm getting hungry now, thanks."

"Oh shut up," Tonya laughs and continues with her ridiculous explanation. "These two things go hand in hand. So you can take your time and look at these yummy desserts the way you look at Mason and sex and then when you're ready you'll pick the best most delicious dessert and boom, you and Mason will be having boom boom time."

"I can't even with you." I laugh and wipe my tears from laughing so hard. "You're too much."
"Dessert equals Mason and sex. Remember, variety and different tastes!"
























my 4 star review!



I LOVE S Moose. Not only as a person, because she is pretty awesome- but as an author as well. She has such a fun quirky voice and it permeates through everything. I can count on her to have angsty ridden romance.

Caroline is the heroine in this story. And she has gone through a lot. The pain of losing her husband was not easy, and all she had were her memories, and her friends- Mason being one of her husbands- his best friend in fact.
                                                                             
Mason is the hero in this story. He was friends with Evan for a long time, they were police officers together. But he does hold on to secrets that threaten Caroline. Mason is easy to love, he's resilient, trustworthy, caring and is always putting others first, and their love story is a slow growing one.

The roller coaster of emotions that I felt during this book, were crazy. There are just seemingly un-jumpable hurdles to overcome, and the secrets that exist in both their worlds are there for sure. But overall, love prevails!

Only Fools Jump release!!

Title: Only Fools Jump
Author: K.P. Haigh
Release Date: July 28, 2016
Add to Goodreads
Only fools jump...and Zoey Porter is no fool. At least not anymore. One tiny mistake when she was eighteen led to two very real consequences—the kind that keep you up all night and demand breakfast in the morning.
The only thing Zoey has time for these days is dry shampoo, energy bars, and that magical photo filter that erases the circles under her eyes.
So when Elliott MacCallister knocks on the door like a #nofilternecessary god, Zoey knows she’s in serious trouble.
With Elliott as the newly-minted resident of her boss’s pool house, keeping her distance is easier said than done.
Time to stock up on wine, cookies, and a portable fan. This summer just got complicated.
Only Fools Jump is like cotton candy for your soul—light and sweet. It’s a full length, standalone romantic comedy. It’ll be impossible to stop smiling after you devour this perfect summer read.
Recommended for 18+ due to language and some sexual content.
Elliott finally looks back at me from his spot near the glass door that faces the marbled water. For someone who looks so put together, who comes off as confident and relaxed, there’s something tucked deep in there that’s broken. I wish I could fix it. I wish trying to fix it wasn’t such a risky proposition.
“I don’t think there was very much about what I did that was brave.” He shakes his head. “I just ran fast—from things, toward things—until I couldn’t any more, and now I’m here, crashing at my sister’s pool house.”
I never would have guessed that hidden under that easy bravado was shame, but it’s as clear as the crease between his eyebrows. I want to press my lips to that wrinkled sliver of skin, but life isn’t a fairytale. I can’t make his problems disappear with a kiss. Whatever they are, he’s going to have to work through them piece by piece.
I know a little something about that deep-in-the-trenches work. “It’s not as bad as the voice in your head is telling you it is.”
Elliott wraps his hand around the back of his neck and strains his head back with a deep exhale. “You don’t know that.”
I shake my head in disagreement. “Whatever it is, I know you’re a good person.”
Elliott’s eyebrow ticks up and his gaze intensifies. I feel like I might disintegrate.
“Even if I am, I don’t always do the right thing.” His voice is husky, and I get the feeling we’re not talking about the problems that led him here any more.
I blink quickly. Maybe I’m imagining it. “What makes you say that?”
“I think about you more than a good person should.”
My mouth goes completely dry. I’m not imagining it. I should run away from this conversation, like I’m the virgin in a horror film. They always get screwed—and not in a good way—but I’m drawn in. I can’t stop myself.
“You do?” It’s as much a confirmation as it is a question.
Elliott pushes off against the door frame and takes a step toward me, his hand still wrapped behind his head.
“Yeah, I do.” He swallows slowly. “I like you. A good person would walk away and leave you alone, but I’m two steps away from kissing you—and damn, I really want to.”



















my 4 star review of Only Fools Jump

this was a great story from KP Haigh, and its her debut, you can already tell she has a great voice!

Zoey is the heroine in this story, and i couldn't have loved her more. She made a mistake, but lets not really call her children a mistake, at 18- and she never looked back. She had to grow up fast and she was doing a spectacular job doing it. She is a nanny for Samantha, who pays the big bucks, and Zoey needs the money for her girls and to finish school. 

Elliott is the hero in this story. he is Samantha's younger brother, and he has just come home and occupied her pool house, when he meets Zoey- and there are definite sparks. 
Zoey is a fun loving heroine, and Elliot is swoon-worthy himself, it was more than enough of a story to keep me entertained and i am so lucky to have found a new author!!









K.P. Haigh joined the adult world as a project manager. After spending years in spreadsheets, she put her love of blank notebooks to good use and started spinning words into love stories.
In a perfect world, K.P. would have a never-ending supply of coffee, carbs, and sticky notes. She corners the market on ridiculous facial expressions and is happiest when she's cooking for people or making them laugh.
She’s always up for crispy French fries and can’t wait for self-driving cars to take over the world so she can read on her way to everywhere.
K.P. lives in Seattle with the man who loves her crazy and their son, who inherited half of it.

Brokenhearted release and review!!

Title: Brokenhearted
Author: Brooklyn Taylor
Release Date: July 27, 2016
Add on Goodreads
Dr. Trevor James didn’t want or expect anything from anybody. He worked every free minute he had and kept himself shut off from almost everybody. He had no intention on living his life any other way after losing the love of his life.
Ryann Payne lived a life of simplicity. She was happy with her modest life as a bartender and living a life where she answered to nobody. The last thing she expected was to meet Trevor, Mr. Intense.
Both Trevor and Ryann find out though that no matter how broken you are there still might someone out there that can mend you if you let it that is.
“Step back a little, would ya? You can see everything even through the bubbles,” she asks, and I wait to see if she really means it.  “Can you hand me a towel and then turn around so I can cover up?”
I lift the towel off the rack and hand it to her with a smile. I turn around but don’t budge on my position to the tub. If only I had the mirror where it needed to be. That’s okay, though, because luckily, I have a vivid imagination. And I have the memories of what she looked like at Sadie’s place.
“Okay, I am covered,” she says, and I turn around to see her standing in the tub with the towel wrapped around her.
“Can I just say … wow.” I move my hand through my hair with admiration of her body.
She stands shocked at my compliment. “Wow, what?”
“You …”
She smiles ear to ear. I watch her as if an internal battle was going on until I see her take off the towel and slide back into the water letting me watch her.
I walk up to the tub and look down at her until I see her smile, giving me the okay for whatever might happen next.
I climb into the tub and lay on top of her in my clothes, my sweats and my shirt, and cradle myself right over her body feeling her warmness. Nothing is between us but the water and my clothes.
I start to kiss her, and she is giving me back whatever I am delivering to her. She is full of passion and skill, welcoming me with her tongue. I have no thoughts in my head other than this woman is not only beautiful but also feels wonderful under me. Why did I hold out for this? How could anyone walk away from her?  Her taste could have me hooked if I let myself. She moves her hips up against my hardness and then up and down my back, pulling my shirt up so that she can feel my skin beneath her hands. The harder I get, the deeper she kisses. I was so lost in this woman. In my soul, I knew it was in more ways than one. 





















My 4 star review of Brokenhearted 

I really enjoy Brooklyn's writing and Brokenhearted was no different. I read the blurb, saw the cover and i was sold the minute i flipped the page to start. 

Trevor is the hero in this story- and he was mostly a shut off kind of guy. Work took the number one spot in his life, especially after losing someone who quite possibly could have been the love of his life- that was until he happened upon Ryann

Ryann is the heroine, and loves life. She loves the relaxed state of it- being a bartender. She had no one to answer to, and that suited her just fine- until she met Trevor. 


Watching their story unfold was fabulous, and and i really enjoyed every second of it!



I currently reside outside of Austin, Texas. I’m a mother of 2 amazing kiddos and married to my gorgeous soulmate for almost 20 years. I have a full time job in the medical field but would rather be spending my time writing! I love to spend my free time reading, being outside and playing with my family and 4 fur babies. I started to write at the instinct of “hey maybe I can do that!” and haven’t stopped since. I have enjoyed every step of the journey. I am blessed to have very supportive friends and family that make my life worth living!

Tiny Tease:

I recognized the need to forget all the details and just concentrate on what I knew. And I knew how to eat a f*cking p*ssy.
      The secret was simple.
      It was never, ever the same.
      It could be the same woman, the same day, the same f*cking session, but a woman’s p*ssy is a special kind of woman. She’s picky but f*cking generous, and she gets off on all kinds of wicked sh*t, but her biggest turn-on is variety and a good sense of mood.
      I did my best to listen for Cassie’s cues, her moans and whimpers and the speed of her breath. Did she need it faster or slower, and was the pressure just right? The answer was never consistent, and I f*cking loved it. Every time I earned a reward through the curl of her toes or a squeeze of her knees, it made me work harder.















FIVE STARS!!

Max and Monroe have done it again. they have completely, utterly captivated me with my favorite kind of book- RomCom. And they not only know what they are doing, they excel at it. They have written a series that is something out of this world- its like you take the humor of Tara Sivec, the genius of Colleen Hoover, the romance of Danielle Steele, and the cheekiness of Alice Clayton and you have Max Monroe- whoever the heck they are. 

Cassie Phillips is Georgia's bestie, and she is a trip- a serious trip. She is more like a man than a woman in her thoughts on sleeping around, but kind of a girly girl as well. I know that makes no sense to some, but to me its the perfect Cassie description- but she has met her match when it comes to Thatcher Kelly

Thatch is a jokester, but also a really sweet, swoony guy. He has many facets, but it seems he has met his pranking match in Cassie. And there is no reason so step back, even though she can be a little scary at times, and very strong willed- she is his match in every way. 

This book was the perfect mix of- love, angst, and hilarity, i definitely recommend Max Monroe's stories to all of my book friends!
