Mia
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school…

Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.

JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don’t see myself as a “fling” kind of girl, maybe it’s just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.

JT
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It’s a place of serenity…to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.

Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Reckless Recluse is a contemporary, age-gap romance inspired by Stuck-Up Suit.

MY REVIEW
Mia's with Graham, Soraya and their son (from Stuck-Up Suit), for whom she's the nanny. To them, she's family, and they're all on vacation. But she has her misgivings about this, especially when there's an emergency and they have to leave, leaving her on the island alone. Ever since the loss of Mia's sister, she's carried emotional baggage. Meeting a reclusive stranger on the island just might give her a reason to let go of some of that baggage and to push past some of her boundaries. But, it's just a fling, because she lives a world away and JT's real world is one she'd never fit into. So she'll take the fling and the memories and that will be the end of it. Right?

This is a sweet read perfect for summer. JT and Mia have a lot of individual demons to work through before they can find their HEA, but it was entertaining reading as they fell for each other. Their chemistry is hot, the locale is the perfect paradise, and Graham and Soraya are in it, making it even better. Altogether, a worthy addition to 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...
