About the Book
Slone Day, defensive end for the Longview professional football team, has a lot on his plate.

He’s at the peak of his career, he’s a single father raising a girl that’s border line genius and can’t seem to find the time to date. Let alone see someone seriously.

He’s perfectly content living his life as it is.

Then he goes to a circus.

There, he meets a woman that literally takes his breath away.

And in one bold, crazy, this is probably going to backfire move, he not only asks the woman out. But he invites her to spend the next two weeks with him while she’s recovering from an incident.
***
There she is, a practical invalid who can’t go anywhere without being babysat, experiencing a crisis in the middle of a public setting, when she spots him.

The moment that Caristonia Singh meets Slone, she realizes her life is about to change.

Meeting men when you work in a circus is practically impossible. That’s why she’s the inexperienced girl that doesn’t know how to act around a hot guy.

A really big, really sexy, holy crap he could toss me over his head and make it look easy, guy.

From the moment he comes to her defense—family can be dicks sometimes—she starts falling.

But nothing good ever lasts when it comes to the circus life.

People come and go. No one ever stays.

But Slone is dead set on proving her wrong, but she’s learned firsthand that nothing good ever lasts.


MY REVIEW


Caristonia (Tony, Ari) Singh needs a break from her life, from her twin, from her whole family. Then she meets a big, gorgeous hunk of a football player at her family's circus, and finds in him an escape. She can be herself around him, in all her weird, quirky glory. He not only likes her weirdness, he seems to be insanely attracted to it, to her. And his daughter is the most adorable person she's ever met. Is it possible the weird girl who lives and works at a circus, can have it all with a professional football player who's the world's best girl dad?


Oh my God, I think I found a new favorite in Lani's many worlds! Caristonia is an absolute sweetheart with a pretty crazy family, some of them I'd even go as far as saying are downright horrible, but she's survived them this long and that makes her a heroine in my eyes. And then there's Slone - OMG, but he's as adorable as his daughter. He seems slightly befuddled at times, but what girl dad isn't when his daughter does or says something out of his scope of understanding (which is often LOL). And the way he instantly was drawn to, and fell for, his Ari, damn, I think he out-swooned just about everyone. This family circus is definitely a freak show, and each character is weird in his or her own way, but are all the more entertaining for it. I can't wait to read the next one, Show Off, now.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
