A marriage of convenience is the only way to get her back...and to keep her safe.

The beautiful Morgan doesn't need to know how dangerous the NYC waters have become. She doesn't need to know that old family debts have come to be settled.

She doesn't need to know the way I've longed for her. We can keep things cordial...at least until night falls. The more time we spend together, the more I come to crave her. Another one of her laughs. A smile. And god, a kiss. I've become addicted to my own wife.

I lost her once. I won't lose her again.

She hates me for the secrets I've kept. But beneath that hatred burns a passion neither of us can deny. In my arms, she remembers what we once had. In my bed, she forgets why she ever left.

As threats close in from all sides, I'll risk everything to protect what's mine. Because some bonds can never be broken, some hearts can never truly be separated, and some loves are simply... inevitable.

High Stakes is a super steamy marriage-of-convenience romance where past wounds collide with present dangers, forcing two stubborn hearts to face the sometimes what you fight the hardest is exactly what you need the most.

MY REVIEW

High Stakes picks up where Deep Pockets left off - with Morgan trying to move on from what happened. But of course even though their marriage started as one of convenience, it quickly turned real, so there would be no permanent moving on, for either of them. Lance is trying his damndest to make up for his mistakes, and he's determined to prove to Morgan that he can be the man she deserves, and protect her from his past at the same time.


Nana's killing me with these cliffhangers! I gotta know that what just happened isn't really what was implied! I have to know how she plans on getting this amazing couple out of this mess. OK, rant over, onto the review. Lance, oh Lance...he's amazing - protective and freaking in love with Morgan, but bumbling his way around for so long. I love all of Nana's heroes, but I honestly think Lance might have just moved into the #1 spot. He's just so haunted by his past, and his first instinct is to withdraw, which of course is not conducive to a healthy relationship of any kind. But he's also so fierce in his love, and his protectiveness, how could I (and Morgan) not love him so much?! Now I just have to very impatiently and anxiously, wait for the conclusion to find out how Morgan and Lance make it out of this huge mess.

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...
