BLURB
Chloe
He’s back. Jameson Maine.
The boy I used to love.
The man I love to hate. Hate like it’s a hobby. Like it’s my job.
Ironic, since love is my profession.
But with the passage of time, I’ve finally healed. Repaired the broken parts his betrayal shattered inside me, and silenced the haunting memories of what he took from me.
What he made me give up.

Jameson
She’s still here. Chloe Morgan.
The girl I left behind.
The woman I can’t let go of. No matter how many miles. No matter how much time.
Annoying, since love is my nemesis.
But with the death of my father, I’m forced home. To finally face the ramshackle remains of my family’s estate, and the lying woman who broke my heart and ruined me for life.
Who’s ready to do so again.

Tears were shed, lies were spread, and secrets were kept that fateful summer ten years ago. But no longer. Now exposed, those skeletons rock our worlds all over again. But two things remain the same…
Love.
And hate.

*Goodbye Guy is a second chance romance inspired by Stuck-Up Suit.

MY REVIEW
Chloe and Jameson were each other's first loves until a decision made by someone else tore them apart. In the time since then, Jameson served as a SEAL, and Chloe's stayed in their hometown, nursing hate in her heart for the man who left. Now he's back and she still hates him. He's not forgotten his first and only love, but he's not thrilled with her either, especially when he finds out what she had kept from him for all these years. Will they give up the hate and let the love they've always felt for each other win out? Or are they doomed to be nothing more than first loves who can't even look at each other?
Goodbye Guy was a great second chance love story, although at times I despaired Chloe and Jameson would ever get their crap together and just communicate! So much angst, back and forth, argh, I banged my head in frustration at times. And I felt for them at what someone did to them, someone who was supposed to be a figure of love, but instead torched their lives with her coldhearted behavior. I wanted them to be a couple for a lot longer, be happy for longer than the last maybe chapter, and I wanted them to have resolved everything much sooner. That's why 4 instead of 5 stars. That's not to say I didn't like this one or think that it's not a great addition to the Cocky Hero Club, because it is. It's emotional and angsty, crackling with chemistry, and the ending is sweet.

AUTHOR BIO
My love for steamy romance began when I was in junior high. A friend and I noticed a dumpster of discarded paperbacks behind our local dime store. Covers missing and each book split down the spine, I scanned the pages for any love or lust words—and curse words, too. From that point on, I scoured the public library and the paperback racks at every store, reading anything labeled romance. I said a tearfully grateful goodbye to Judy Bloom, and Jackie Collins began ruling my world.

I live with my high school sweetheart husband in the desert Southwest. Awesome in the winter, not so much in the summer.

My life long goals are to think before I speak, smile more and swear less, and actually weigh what my driver's license states I do.

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...
