BLURB
From USA Today Bestselling Author Melissa Toppen, comes a brand-new, contemporary romance that explores the complexities of loss and the captivating journey of embracing a second chance at love.

At twenty-six, I thought I knew exactly what my life would look like. Marry my fiancé, Blake. Buy a big house on the California coast and have a couple of kids. Everything was so clear, until my mom got sick, and then suddenly it wasn’t anymore.

In the span of one year, my entire life was different. My mom was gone. I had abruptly ended my engagement. And I found myself three thousand miles away from home, trying to reassemble the pieces of my life when none of them seemed to fit together anymore.

That’s when Remi came into the picture…

Gorgeous as they come, he blew in like a hurricane, shaking the very foundation beneath my feet. I had never met someone so unapologetically themselves. He was crass and witty. Sexy and fun. And boy could that man charm the robe off a nun.

His very presence warned me to stay away and yet drew me in all in the same breath. He was everything I wanted but shouldn’t—danger and desire wrapped up in one beautiful package. Trying to resist him was about as futile as trying to hold my breath for longer than a few seconds. Simply put, it wasn’t going to happen.

Giving in to a man like Remi is as effortless as breathing.

Falling in love with a man like Remi, on the other hand, is not quite so simple.

I guess matters of the heart never are…

The Space Between Your Heart & Mine is a standalone spinoff novel.

It can be read completely on its own or following The Space Between Duet—The Space Between Love & Hate and The Space Between Now & Forever.

MY REVIEW


Kaia's experienced a huge loss and has moved to start over, when she literally runs into her...future, in the form of a muscular god with a charming smile. Remington "Remi" is instantly smitten with the beautiful woman who doesn't seem to react to him the way women usually do. It only fuels his fascination for her. What he's feeling is something he wants to explore, as he's not experienced it before. If only she'd be open to exploring their connection too.


After realizing his feelings for his best friend weren't returned, Remi's spent his time since adapting to just being her best friend, and appreciating how right she and his brother are together. To get over his unrequited feelings, he's gained a rep that's instantly obvious to the only woman who's caught his interest since. Can he convince Kaia to give into their obvious connection?


I like it when a player falls first and doesn't know what hit him. That's what happened to Remi, and reading as he tried (and failed at first) to get Kaia's attention was extremely entertaining. In short time, though, she realized there was more to him than just some charming player, and her fall was as entertaining as his, even more so, as she was very hesitant to give in. I admit to not liking Remi's ott overreaction near the end, and I wanted a lot more groveling from him because of it. Aside from that though, I liked everything else about this entertaining, sexy story.

Review: Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette (American Revolutionary Tales 2) by Regina Kammer

Review of Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette by Regina Kammer Captain Samuel Taylor and Lieutenant Patrick Hamilton recall their first steamy encounter, which was a MFM threesome in a brothel. It morphed into more and now the two are contemplating their futures with the women they love, and their futures with each other. If you think times are hard for the LGBT community now, think of how hard they were during the American Revolution. Winter Interlude is well developed, which is surprising given its short length. I am so interested in knowing what is to become of Samuel and Patrick's forbidden relationship. Do they stay together? Or do they go their separate ways, and live out their lives with their women? Now that they've admitted their love for each other, how impossible would it be for them to be without each other? I have to know, now! If you like MM fiction and/or historical fiction, I highly recommend you give Winter Interlude a read. It...
