Review of Only With You (The Connor Family Book 4) by Layla Hagen


ONLY WITH YOU

Val (Valentina) Connor has gotten her business up and running and bam, a competitor is seeking to take her out. She's finally able to make her dreams come true after having helped her brother raise their younger siblings, so now's the time when she should come first. And then she meets this gorgeous man who is frequenting her favorite coffee shop. Carter is a successful lawyer raising his nieces, and he's a bit clueless about how he's suddenly not the cool uncle to his eldest niece that he used to be. And then he meets this beautiful woman at the coffee shop. He wants her. He wants her in his life and in his bed. So he sets about wooing her with his very best charming self. But it's really his nieces that seal the deal because Val is at heart, a caretaker, and she simply takes over from raising her now adult siblings to raising Carter's nieces. Can they sustain a relationship built on that? Or will Val come to the realization that she's only important to Carter because she helps him care for his nieces?


I absolutely fell in love with Val and Carter, especially Val. She's such a great character - all heart, and strong to boot. I love how much she cares for the people in her life, not just Carter and his nieces, but her siblings, too. And just as great is Carter and how he loved her wholeheartedly. There's no doubt he's a sexy, successful lawyer, but more importantly, he's a genuinely great guy who found his soul mate, a woman more than equal to him. Only With You is filled with Layla Hagen's signature emotionally substantial and layered characters, with seriously sexy chemistry. I've been loving The Connor Family series, and I've gotta say that Only With You is the best one yet.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
