MY REVIEW
Sandy has mourned and grieved her husband, is still. And yet, when her girls get her signed up on a dating app, she feels as if they're right and it's time for her to put herself out there for something. Companionship only perhaps. Just something other than the loneliness she's been feeling lately.

Jordan has mourned and grieved his wife, too. Unlike Sandy, though, he knows for certain he's ready to move on. And he wants to move on with Sandy. If only she'd agree to a date, agree that the time to live again was now.

This is such a heartfelt story, loving and filled with warmth and healing, coming full circle as BAM's matriarch finds love again, surrounded by her family. I absolutely loved it, every page, every word. Sandy and Jordan are so sweet together, without a lot of angst, only possible with two people with years of experience and wisdom in their hearts and minds. There were tears shed, but by the end, I was smiling as big as the BAM family, glad the mama and papa found happiness and love with each other, surrounded by all their family.
Melanie’s words are truly magical and I will always be thankful to her for introducing me to the men and to the women, to the family, of BAM.” ~Carol’s Reviews

“From the beginning of Bentley’s story to the last word in Sandy’s the journey of the Bam boys has been filled with so many emotions and showed us what family is even if it’s not the family your born into but the family you make!” ~Goodreads Review (Sandy)
Behind every successful man there is a woman.

What happens when you’re the woman behind an entire team?

Sandy Preston has been den mother, friend, confidante, and the guiding force behind the men of BAM for years.

Now they have new lives, and hers has drastically changed.

Can she move on and find love a second time around?

Will the men she considers family accept the changes?
Hell broke loose about three o'clock. Reid rushed past my desk, casting a worried glance my way as he hurried by, disappearing into Aiden's office. With a frown, I asked the person I was speaking with on the phone to repeat themselves, only to be startled by the loud curse coming from Aiden's office. Seconds later, they both disappeared into Maddox's office. I shook my head, wondering what crisis was occurring now. Something big in IT land or a glitch in the security system Reid was diligently working on, adding upgrades or tweaking. 
I had my answer soon enough when the three of them appeared in front of my desk. Their countenances were serious, and they looked upset. 
A flicker of fear went through my chest. 
"What is it?" I asked. "Bentley? Is he all right?" I had spoken with him not long ago, and he said he was on his way back to the office. Had there been an accident?
Aiden shook his head. "Bent's fine. He'll be here in a moment. We need to talk to you."
I furrowed my brow. "Fine. About?" My gaze fell to Reid's hand. He was holding his phone, which was nothing new, but what was on the screen explained the intensity of their expressions and the tense set of their shoulders. 
My profile on Mature Matchups was on his phone. And the protective, worried faces were exactly what I knew would happen if they discovered it.

Also read an excerpt from Sandy and Jordan’s Boston date on Book+Main Bites: Is this for me?
NYT/WSJ/USAT international bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of twenty-seven-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

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...
