BLURB
Eden

I’m organizing New York’s biggest charity event of the year. But when the keynote speaker drops out, the success of my business hangs in the balance.

There’s one man who can help me. And no, I’m not above flying to the middle of nowhere to plead with the baseball legend in hiding.

All I need is a yes.

I didn’t expect his hostility. I didn’t expect a hurricane to trap me alone with him. And I didn’t expect to find that he still owns my heart after all this time.

Chase

I left New York two years ago with my life and superstar career in shambles. All I want is solitude and peace to heal and start a new business, a new life, a new me.

Then Eden shows up, asking for the impossible. If I could say yes, I would. She doesn’t know the whole truth about my downfall. And I don’t want her to know.

To save us both, I will have to remind her I’m the bastard who hurts the ones he loves.

Tormented Bastard is a second chance/sports romance inspired by Cocky Bastard.

MY REVIEW
Eden's about to ask for help from the last person she ever wanted to see again, her ex, Chase. Back in the day, she chose to stay behind to care for her mother, and Chase let her get away as he went to chase his baseball dream. Now she's back, and forced to stay with him while a storm rages on outside. Will they discover their feelings for each other had never waned? Only had gotten stronger over the years? But is Chase the man Eden had always thought he was, or will the negative voices that have always been in his ear guide his behavior?

Chase has never gotten over Eden, the love of his life whom he let get away. Now that she's here in the flesh, he's not about to let her get away from him. For the duration of the storm at least. Because there is no forever with him. He doesn't deserve forever with the only woman he's ever loved. Or so he believes. If only he'd let Eden's love be his guide, rather than his deceased father....

Oh boy did I feel for Chase!! His backstory is heartbreaking. It hurt to read as he was hurting, even as he hurt Eden with his words and his actions, because he had always listened to the wrong people, believed them over the truth. But I loved his and Eden's story. Their chemistry is seriously intense and their second chance more than deserves its place in the Cocky Hero Club.

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...
