What happens when the man you’d thought could be the one turns out to be your new boss?

Blakely

The moment I met Aston Cage, I knew my life had changed. A single dance later, we’re both all in. Until he ghosted me.
Then my boss fires me for dancing with the enemy.
Three months later, working for the Cages is my last resort. Now I’ll work beside him day by day, trying not to let my feelings take control. It’s heaven and hell. Except I’m starting to think there’s a part of this story I’m missing…

Aston
I made myself walk away from Blakely after my family’s dirty laundry hit the news. My father’s secret family complicates everything. In order to keep our inheritance intact, we’re forced to do monthly dinners with both sides of the family—the brothers I grew up with and the new set of siblings we never knew about.
An additional obstacle: Blakely is my new sister’s best friend.
Meaning the moment I give into temptation, I not only risk the woman I’m falling for, but the family legacy just starting to reveal itself.
But Blakley is worth it. I just have to prove I am as well.

**The Forever Rule is a missed connection, workplace, big city meets small town romance featuring Aston and Blakely. Each book can be read as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!**

MY REVIEW



Blakely thought her unexpected meeting with Aston Cage might be the start of something special. Unfortunately, all it started was a spiral of negativity. Her boss fired her for "associating" with his rival, she turns out to have an intertwined connection with his newly discovered family, and now she has to work with the man who never called. It's agony, but she knows she can get through this and keep her poor heart intact...


Aston really wanted to follow through with the connection he and Blakely forged first when she was accidentally added to their group chat, then that dance, but something huge came up. Now that no-call is coming back to bite him in the ass because she works for his company and he's finding it difficult to keep away from her. He has so much weighing on his shoulders as the eldest and the head of the family and the company, but for once, can he just have something for himself?


I love the Cages! But the person I love most in this one is Blakely. She's strong and sassy, and she brought Aston to his knees. Their spark is so flirty, so witty even before they actually met, by the time they finally met in person, whew! These two are perfect for each other, different as they are. And they had a lot of family around them for support and love. As we came to see, there are a lot more Cages, so the I see a long, very entertaining series coming now.

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...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings.

He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
