Review / Release Blitz: Splintered (Unlucky 13 #9) by Isabel Lucero


Release Date: August 15

Welcome to Black Diamond Resort and Spa—the best place to go when all you want to do is disappear and not have anyone expect anything of you.

Overwhelmed with work and feeling like I’m being pulled in multiple directions at once, I crave the serenity a private island holds for me. As a very recognizable figure in the adult film industry, I’m used to shelling out parts of myself for the sake of others. Everyone wants more pictures, videos, and more of my time and energy. Though I’ve created an empire that has made me lots of money in a business I enjoy, I still desire a break.

Sandy beaches, fruity drinks, and turquoise waters are all I expected from this trip. I definitely didn’t anticipate running into my high school crush—the jock that never once looked at me the way I wanted him to.

Jarrod Bivens is now the star goalie of the San Jose Bobcats, and the person half the world is blaming for his team losing in the playoffs. Clearly here for his own escape, our chance encounter ignites an instant friendship. With each day on the island, I realize my crush is far from gone, but Jarrod’s known for only dating Hollywood starlets, so he’s obviously straight. Maybe those lingering gazes and small touches are all in my head.

But one day, something interesting arises between us—a moment I couldn’t have prepared myself for. Our mounting tension finally snaps, but little did I know it was only the beginning of a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Our chemistry is undeniable, but the real world awaits, and life off the island is bound to be much different. How can two people from completely different worlds ever make it work?

MY REVIEW

Jarrod and Devin are both at this island getaway to do just that - get away. They haven't seen each other in years, but their reunion feels seamless, as if they've been friends this whole time. And more...because Devin's crush on Jarrod seems to be roaring back and Jarrod just may be feeling the same way. Will they give into their attraction? If so, what will they do when they inevitably have to go back to their lives - Devin to the adult film industry, and Jarrod to his NHL career?


Jarrod's head is all over the place. Ever since he got back, he can't keep his mind off Devin. When he keeps running into him, he can't resist, again. Only he's not out, Devin's a pornstar, and he isn't about to subject himself or his team to the media scrutiny that would come if his relationship were to become public. Is there any way he can have both Devin and his career?


HOT! The steam level between Jarrod and Devin is so crazy strong that I really needed an ice bath. But equally as strong is their developing emotional connection, and it's this that kept me reading. I adore this couple, the way they fought their feelings, the way they tried to resist, and the way they accepted and shouted to the their world just how much they loved each other. I'm not sure who's next to find love in this series, but I will be the first to read now that I've fallen so hard for this adorable couple.

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...
