TARNISHED EMPIRE
by Ava Harrison
Phoenix hatches a plan with her father (kind of unwillingly on his part) to save him from the people he's gotten involved with. To do so, it will mean she goes up against Alaric Prince, her father's enemy, the man intent on taking her father down. But Phoenix is no simpering little girl. No, she's more than up to the challenge of taking on the criminal mastermind himself, and Alaric will need to adjust his thinking if he thinks he can best a woman set on protecting the man who took her in and loved her.
Alaric is surely not a good guy, he's the very definition of anti-hero, but when he entwines his life with Phoenix, there's something about her that has him wanting to do better, be better, for her. The question is, can these two, whose relationship is based on a rivalry and competition, based on some not so positive feelings, possibly be maintained after the action dies down?
The tension, the snark and the wit, all masking the combustible chemistry evident from their first meeting. Holy smokes Batman, but these two are FIRE! I loved every word of these two enemies to much, much more. I will remember Phoenix and Alaric and their intriguing, passionate story for a very long time.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
