MY REVIEW

Elise's summer job nannying a young girl named Ariel was supposed to be a stopgap until her teaching job starts in the fall. But it turns out to be possibly the most important time in her life when she falls in love with not just her charge, but with her father as well. If Roman can move past his grief at his wife's passing, he just might find the love that's waiting for him, but if he can't...Elise might decide she's been hurt enough by men, and leave, physically and emotionally.

I honestly should have expected the emotional punch to the heart this story delivered, as the first story in this series was similar in tearing at the heartstrings, but I really wasn't thinking about it. Then I started reading. I fell in love with Elise and Ariel and Roman was just praying for them to find love together. They did, but not before traveling a path filled with pain and grief, bolstered by a serious physical attraction, and finally, hard won love. The whole family was on hand again, and now I'm dying for Roman's brother Ricky's story, I have a feeling it's going to make me cry even more than Roman's did.

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...
