4 SMOOCHES
Synopsis
A standalone companion novel to the International Bestseller, CRAZY GOOD. Releasing April 9, 2015
There is something all too vague about second chances. What happens when your utterly perfect, first chance never really ends? What if it’s stolen?
Bull-nosed attorney Morganna Sterns knows what she wants. Self assured, powerful, and independent, she finds herself struggling to find balance between honoring what has been stolen, and deciding if her second chance is going to end just as tragically.
Steven Warner is a Navy SEAL with nothing to lose. His overt humor and charm paired with his lethal skill set make him a perfect catch–for the right type of woman. His world is littered with relationships, but only one stands the test of time. Competing with a ghost is hard. Especially when that ghost is a teammate: his brother at arms.
It’s not, “it is what it is.” It’s what you make it. What you, and only you decide it should be. Navy SEALs never make the same mistake twice.
Will Morganna?
Review
“Ole’ Steve Warner is a fucked up man
No One has a clue about his master plan
He’s been in love wit a woman for most of his life
And that chick has always been someone else’s wife.”
Set In Stone is the much anticipated follow up book to Crazy Good. Steve Warner has been in love with Morganna since the moment he met her in high school but has always just been a friend to her. While it killed him to watch her fall in love and get married to one of his seal buddies it was even worse watching her mourn Stone’s death. But time has passed and now he is finally considering giving up his playboy ways for the only girl that has even held his attention and brought him to his knees.
“Living without him is the largest challenge I’ve ever taken on. I miss him every second he’s not here, but life doesn’t stop. Tragedy doesn’t halt the future.”
Morganna though love was a once in a lifetime thing and she had that with Stone so she has been content to become the best lawyer she could be and spend time with her best friend, Steve Warner. What she never expected was a second chance at a happily ever after. But will the (figurative) ghost of her ex-husband haunt their relationship?. Could Steve ever measure up to Stone and can Morganna ever really move past mourning and start living her life again?
“Your lips brainwash a smart man, M. I want them.”
I love Steve, love love love him. He was funny and sexy. I enjoyed how his fun natured side had to battle with his confidence when it came to measuring up to a dead man. That seemed to be the overall theme of the book. Steve in the present measuring up to Stone in the past. While I enjoyed the constant flashbacks to both the high school years with Steve and the early years of Morganna and Stone, I do think that too many flashbacks with Stone at time made it harder to connect with Steve and Morganna. I would have preferred less with him . But this was not dramatic enough to think it should deter anyone from reading the story.
“We have been a long time coming, Morg. A long ass time.”
Overall, this was a fun, emotional and sexy story about a HOT book about a sexy Navy Seal and the only woman who has ever held his attention. I found myself laughing out loud often and holding back tears. The story was fluent and the writing smooth. I will definitely be keeping up with other books by Rachel Robinson.
