What should you do when you have no one but your old crush to turn to?


Baylee Rios has never known life without Tucker Malloy. From the moment she understood the concept of love, her heart belonged to the “boy next door.” As an adult, her feelings have only grown, and she’s fighting to ignore something that’s been smoldering under the guise of a friendship. But Baylee’s life is about to implode, and the only person she feels safe leaning on is her one true love.

Baylee Rios isn’t only ten years younger than him, she’s his best friend’s little sister and she’s off-limits. Now that she’s all grown up, she’s taking over his thoughts… and his apartment.

Will they risk upsetting those they love to finally go after what they want?

Embers in the Dark is an age-gap romance novel. It is the third book in the Embers series.

MY REVIEW


When Baylee needs help, there's only one person to ask - her brother's best friend, Tucker. After all, she's been in love with him forever, and he's as protective as her brother. He may not love her the way she loves him, but he will help her. Move her in, and watch over. And make her crush even stronger. How on earth is she going to get out of this with her heart intact?


Tucker promised his best friend, Danny, a long time ago, that he'd never make a move on Danny's sister. But even when he made that promise, he had feelings for Baylee that weren't exactly just friends. Now Baylee's rooming with him, and he can't keep his feelings from her any longer. Danny will just have to deal with them being together, because Tucker wants everything with Baylee.


Once Baylee and Tucker give into all the close proximity, there's no stopping them. There was no way they weren't going to fall in love this time, regardless of Danny's ridiculous command that forbid them from being together. Sweet golden retriever Tucker and his forbidden, much younger Baylee are a couple who went through it to be together. They're a cute couple with hilarious friends and found family, especially probie Hunter, whose story I'm very much looking forward to next.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
