Review of The Lies We Tell Ourselves (A Southern Heroes Novel Book 3) by Michelle Heard THE LIES WE TELL OURSELVES Reece is stuck. Stuck in an abusive (emotionally) relationship. Stuck period. And she cannot wait to get out. But first she has to devise a way to get her mom away from her fiancé before she can get herself out. And then Alec is hired by Clay, her fiancé, to be her constant bodyguard. You'd think having a bodyguard would make her feel safe, but Reece knows her bodyguards are only there to report back to Clay her every freakin move, so they don't particularly make her feel safe. Until Alec. Until he starts giving out signals that he might be more than just a bodyguard sent to report back to her criminal fiancé. I loved this installment of the ongoing Southern Heroes series! It's definitely my favorite so far. Alec is such a sweet, protective soul, and so sexy, too. I love how much he got Reece, how perfect he was for her, and most of all, how much he to...

Review of The Girl In The Closet (A Southern Heroes Novel Book 2) by Michelle Heard Birdie went through the worst kinds of hell before being adopted by wonderful parents. At the start of The Girl In The Closet , she's 17 and still scarred, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Cole is the boy who's pushing to be with her, but she's so traumatized by her past that she cannot let him in. So he leaves and enlists in the Marines, then comes back home 8 years later. And that's when their story really begins. Unfortunately, it's not pretty at all. It's unrelentingly dark and graphic until the very end, when we're given their very sweet epilogue. The juxtaposition between the entirety of their story that was dark and heartbreaking, to the sweet epilogue was a bit jarring, but without that ending, the story would have been unbearable, so I appreciated the contrast. I just wish everything that had come before the ending were lightened up just a tad. But I wi...
