Blurb
Someone should tell Tate Brewer that one-night stands aren’t supposed to come with a sequel.


I’ve learned the hard way—don’t be reckless with anything, least of all my heart. But after one too many vodka sodas, saying yes to a much younger, devastatingly smooth stranger for one wild night seems like the perfect way to forget my brutal divorce. I even gave him a fake name. What could go wrong?

You’d be surprised.

Because instead of being my spicy little secret, Tate is now the chief marketing officer at my new job. He’s determined to prove our night together was only the beginning—and he has the tools to do it.

Chiseled jaw. Washboard abs. Effortless charm. He’s as sinful as he is sweet and knows exactly how to get under my skin and melt my defenses.

I wanted a one-night stand. Instead, I got a “situation.”


MY REVIEW


Aurora is divorced and has been told by her friend that she needs to live a little for once, now that she's free from her jerk ex. Could the much younger, gorgeous flirt she met on her flight be the man to help her do just that? Well he was...until she saw him again and found out he's the new guy in charge at her new office. Yikes. She doesn't want to lose herself to another man, doesn't want to lose the independence she's gained. And she doesn't want just another guy to come along and make her feel like she's less than. Tate may seem like the biggest sweetheart, ever, but he is a man, and Aurora's had her fill of men treating her terribly.


Everyone around Tate has been falling in love and settling down, and Tate wants that for himself. But only with the right woman. Then a single flight changes his life when he meets that woman. Too bad she's gone the next morning, and since then he hasn't been able to get her off his mind. She was reluctant to give into their chemistry, but he knew he could convince her, and convince her he did! But he wants more. And he gets his chance when he becomes the new head marketing officer at the company where she's taken a new position. Now they have all space and time for him to woo the woman he knows he's going to marry...if he can listen to what she's saying, what she wants, and not be so single-minded that bulldozes her into running from him.


Being the baby of the Brewer clan was good for Tate. He's a sweet golden retriever of a hero whose family has spoiled him as have all the women that have fallen at his feet to be with him, but when he finds Aurora and decides to claim her, whew!! All that intense focus is heady for her and I don't know how she resisted as long as she did. She had a lot of insecurities, thanks to 2 failed marriages to horrible men, but Tate came along and not only worshipped her and supported her, he flat out loved her up and showed her just what an amazing woman she really is. I'm sad the Brewer Family series has come to an end, but Adriana picked such a great story to conclude their family saga with. They're so adorable together, sweet, deliciously spicy, and fun.

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...

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.
