LOVE IN REWIND
ByTali Alexander
Emily has the life every woman dreams of.At 29, she has two beautiful kids, a live-in nanny, housekeeper, cook, and every imaginable luxury in the posh Upper East Side townhouse she shares with her drop-dead gorgeous husband, Louis Bruel. His company, Bruel Industries, owns a big chunk of New York City’s most sought-after real estate, and together Emily and Louis embody the perfect hot fairy tale couple for ten happy years of marriage.But when Louis mysteriously starts pushing Emily away, becoming distant and secretive, she is forced to search for the truth among the lies, scandal and heartbreak of his past that threaten to shatter her world. What she finds out will test the strength of her love and her vows to the man of her dreams.Can Emily and Louis rewind far enough back to a time when life was simpler and love was all they needed? Follow their story with the help of some of their favorite songs from the 80’s to discover just how deep and how far love will go.Meet Louis BruelHe’s a dirty talker….
“Ninety-five days.That’s how long it’s been since I last had sex with my husband. I shouldn’t be sad or pity myself, right? I live the life! I have a great man who adores and loves me—or did once. Louis works incredibly hard. He has built up his New York-based real estate development firm from nothing to a billion dollar company in less than fifteen years.We have two beautiful kids: Rose, who just turned eight two weeks ago; and Eric, who’s almost four. I gave up running an event planning company with my sister to stay home and be there for the kids and Louis. My husband wanted me to always be available for him.We live in New York City the majority of the year. Our Upper East Side townhouse was once an embassy and takes up a good half of a city block. If I walk a few feet to the right, I’d be in Central Park, and if I take a few steps to the left, I’d be on Madison Avenue, the shopping mecca for the rich and famous.I have need for nothing. I have a live-in nanny, a housekeeper, a cook, a driver, a masseuse, and a trainer. However, I would give it all up to have my husband want me like he once did. I’m twenty-nine years old but I feel like I’m eighty. You couldn’t tell I suffer from depression and self-loathing by looking at me. On the outside, I’m glowing and happy. I’m skinny thanks to André, my personal trainer. I look twenty-one thanks to Botox and my mom, who’s a dermatologist and keeps my skin looking young and flawless. Bergdorf Goodman keeps me dressed like a movie star and yet neither Hermès nor Van Cleef can put a genuine smile on my face these daysSome who don’t know me would say Emily Bruel is just another spoiled little rich bitch. Well, that’s why I keep my mouth shut. I don’t complain. I take it as it comes and yes, I thank my lucky stars. But I’m starting to think that if I keep going at this pace, I’ll lose the love of my life.My husband is the one and only Louis Bruel. He was once deemed New York’s most eligible bachelor; now they call him “The Baron of New York Real Estate.” He, like the rest of the world, seems to be oblivious to my dissatisfaction with our love life. He works fourteen-hour days and comes home to the picture perfect family he created. He has provided lavishly for us, and as I already mentioned, we need and want for nothing. Except, of course, the need I have for him to stop ignoring my existence.When we first met, I was an eighteen-year-old nobody. He was almost thirty years old and very much a somebody. How could I not fall madly in love with the wonderful Louis Bruel all those years ago? Lord knows, every woman who sets eyes upon him still does! Why should I be any different? Besides his obvious sexy good looks, he has this animal magnetism, a kind of swagger that attracts anything in its path. I will never forget that magical night eleven years ago when I first laid eyes on Mr. Louis Bruel. I can see it all play out from the very start. If I close my eyes and rewind, it seems like yesterday.”“Nothing really to tell, what you see is what you get.”I am every woman out there that has fantasies in her head. I am a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a wife, a lover, a mother, and a friend. I happen to also be a Doctor of Pharmacy and a business owner by day, and now a writer by night. Writing and reading help me escape the scary world we live in. I hope my stories help readers experience many different emotions and ultimately, I hope I make them smile…
Writing keeps me sane. I hope reading does the same for you.

The Line Between by Tamsyn Bester Review
4 Smooches
Synopsis
There’s a fine line between love and hate, so fine that you don’t know you’ve lost balance until it’s too late.
I’m not sure exactly when I lost my balance, all I know is that he was to blame.
Dane Winters.
The boy who’d spent most of his life hating me for reasons I never understood.
** ** ** ** ** **
It was no secret that I hated her, but only I knew why.
She was off-limits.
And then our separate worlds collided with one tragedy.
It wasn’t her fault, I knew that, but I wanted her to hurt the way I did, and I needed someone to blame. She was an easy target.
Kennedy Monroe.
The girl I’d picked on all our lives.
And the woman I barely tolerated.
Until the line between love and hate was no longer visible…
Review
“The boy had made my life miserable for most of my teen years wasn’t there anymore. He was all man, and I wasn’t ashamed to admit that he grew up nicely. It was a good look for him, asshole or not.”
After a year away at school, Kennedy Monroe has returned and will be going to college with those she grew up with. The one problem, the root of ALL her problem, Dane Winters. Aside from a decades old family dispute, Dane has personal reasons as well for why he hates Kennedy. The problem with hating her though, he was also kinda in major lust with her too!
“Kennedy was a drug to me, my own personal brand of cocaine. It was twisted. But it was us.”
Dane has done nothing but cause Kennedy problems for as long as she can remember. He goes out of his way to make her life a living hell and lucky for her when she moves into her new down guess who her neighbor is. While she has taken his torment for years when she returned from Georgia this year she did so with a brand new backbone, and for some crazy reason this along with Kennedy being the most beautiful girl he has seen turns him on like nothing else.
“I was an imbalanced combination of pissed, and turned on. I was a bastard, I knew that, but my body clearly didn’t get that memo. Either that, or my dick ignored the fucking post-it that read ‘Kennedy Monroe doesn’t make you hard'”
But Dane is an asshole with a grudge and while they have chemistry and the times they are alone together are HOT that is all it can be. Fleeting hot moments because their families and their past cement them to be nothing more! While sneaking around these two grow more attached but when all the secrets are out there can what they have survive or are they destined to be enemies forever?
“He’d completely obliterated me. One. Fractured. Piece. At. A. Time.”
The Line Between was a fast and easy read with just enough angst to keep the story going. The only thing about the story that was hard for me was how similar it was to The Falling Away series, but then again as it is said there are no original idea anymore. Everything has been done before and being a first book by a young new author I think this one was a great start! I have to say I am actually even more excited for book two, Jade and Reid’s story, I just have a feeling it is going to be a good one!

Hardcore: Part 1 by Staci Hart Review
4 Smooches
Synopsis
*** Part 1 of a 3 part serial ***
Cory James has never known a life where she wasn’t running. Running from the cops, her home, her past. Running from love. The only time she’s free is when she throws on her hood and takes to the roofs to become a part of New York, to climb to a place in the city where she doesn’t feel alone.
Stealing is nothing, lying inevitable, byproducts of survival. A way for Cory to provide for herself and for her younger sister, Jill, give her the life Cory couldn’t have. For five years, Cory set up a long line of teetering dominos, one by one, choice by choice.
Meeting Van is the first domino to fall, and once they crash into each other, it’s only a matter of time before her whole world is in danger of falling apart. She can tell herself over and again that she doesn’t care, but it’s a lie. She knows it from the first time she says his name, but she can’t let him in, not when she has a job to do, a job that could rip her life apart at the seams. One that she’ll have to betray Van to finish.
He’ll follow however high she can climb, but she can only run for so long before she has to choose.
Review
“‘What are you running from’ My answer: Everything.”
Hardcore: Part 1 is my first time reading Staci Hart and I have to say I am defineately intrigued and looking forward to reading more from her. This story is the first part in a serial that takes place in New York City revolving around Cory, a sexy bike messenger/ thief and Van a rich photographer who happens to share a love with Cory, extreme running (known as Parkour.) Cory and Van meet after he chases her one night when she is on the run and from the moment they connect he knows he needs to see her again, one problem he doesn’t know her name.
“Don’t run from me. Run with me.”
There were so many elements in this story that captivated me. I love when the characters live a lifestyle so far-fetched than my own and the life of a youth running around new York rooftops and robbing electronics stores is something I have never quite experienced. Cory is exciting and a bit dangerous. She has secrets and regrets and when she realizes that she could actually feel things for Van she knows it’s best for him to stay away . . .but can she?
“Van was living in a way I didn’t know existed in the context of real life. He was a hot match in a cold, dark room. Being near him was like being able to see for the first time.”
Hardcore: Vol 1 was well-written and very exciting with it’s fast paced story, sexy characters and dangerous lifestyles. I absolutely cannot wait to continue Van and Cory’s story and see how far Cory is willing to go to protect those she loves.

**sidenote: This serial did have a f/f scene I wasn’t expecting. While personally I am ok with this I do know it is not for everyone and thought it should be mentioned.

Kyland by Mia Sheridan Review
5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Dirt poor. Hillbilly. Backwoods hick. Mountain folk.
Tenleigh Falyn struggles each day to survive in a small, poverty-stricken, coal mining town where she lives with her sister and mentally ill mother. Her dream of winning the college scholarship given to one student by the local coal company and escaping the harshness of her life, keeps her going.
Kyland Barrett lives in the hills, too, and has worked tirelessly—through near starvation, through deep loneliness, against all odds—to win the Tyton Coal Scholarship and leave the town that is full of so much pain.
They’re both determined not to form any attachments, but one moment changes everything. What happens when only one person gets to win? When only one person gets to leave? And what happens to the one left behind?
Kyland is a story of desperation and hope, loss and sacrifice, pain and forgiveness, but ultimately, a story of deep and unending love.
THIS IS A STAND-ALONE SIGN OF LOVE NOVEL, INSPIRED BY TAURUS. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
Review
Well, I have been reading a lot of Mia Sheridan and while I LOVE all of her books, Archer’s Voice has always stood out to me as the very best of her work. Surprisingly enough, a certain new book boyfriend might have just nudged sweet Archer over and said “Make room for me, dude” and his name is Kyland. Whew. Kyland and this amazingly and beautifully written story blew me away.
You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope.
Tenleigh and Kyland’s story is such a hard one that had me in tears almost non-stop. Tenleigh and Kyland are both dirt poor seniors in highschool. Literally. They barely have enough food to eat. Working their fingers to the bone just to make ends meet. No heat or electricity sometimes in the cold of winter in the mountains. This is the life they were raised in and all they know; all their small town knows.
And I had to wonder, should a seventeen-year-old girl be so tired? Just tired down to my bones…weary in my very soul?
They want out badly. They walk miles and miles to school and home everyday in the hopes of being the very best students and winning the Tyton Coal Scholarship. What happens when Kyland and Tenleigh become friends, maybe become more than friends and there is only one scholarship; one way to make it out of this poor town and become something?
“I’m leaving this place behind when I go. Everything about this place. Even you.”
Go ahead and get your tissues and wine because this one will completely break you apart and then piece you slowly back together. Kyland and Tenleigh’s relationship is so romantic and beautiful yet devastating. You know whats coming but you can’t seem to look away; stop reading. They draw you in; Tenleigh with her unwavering faith in love
Someday, when I’m living my dreams, I’m going to think of all the things that broke my heart and I’m going to be thankful for them.
and Kyland with his determination and sacrifice.
“I do go to hell. Every day. For you.”
Kyland won me over just like Archer did. He makes all the wrong mistakes for the right reasons and I simply fell in love with him. He and Tenleigh are ridiculously sexy and heartwarming. You will be rooting for them from the beginning of this book until the very end.
But what I knew in that moment was that the size of your home, your car, your wallet, doesn’t have one single thing to do with the size of your life. And my life…my life felt big, filled with love and with meaning.

Excerpt
‘This isn’t a fairytale,’ Dornan said wryly, as he watched her bring the soup-soaked bread to her mouth.
She paused with the bread in her hand, looking around the room in mock surprise. ‘You mean, we’re not Beauty and the fucking Beast?’
He laughed.
‘Well, you’re certainly beautiful,’ he said.
‘And you’re definitely a beast,’ she countered, pushing her empty bowl away and resting back on the bed.
‘But there’s no happy ever after for you,’ Dornan added, his eyes trailing over the chains to reach the cuffs that were now permanent bracelets on her wrists.
‘No,’ she said evenly, matching his intense gaze. ‘Not for any of us. Not in this world.’

Excerpt
My heart raced at the thought of finally finding her—the woman who was destined to be my mate. My brothers liked to tease me about being a bit of a white
knight because I had a habit of helping women who were in distress, but I couldn’t stop myself from doing it. Ever since our grandmother had told me that
my mate would have been discarded by her family, I’d struggled with the knowledge that she could be out there somewhere, desperately in need of help,
without my being able to give it to her. So I’d compensated by aiding other women in the hope that someone else would be there for my mate when I couldn’t
be. If Eliza’s dream was right, then I might not have to wait much longer.
“When?” I rasped out. “Were there any signs pointing to when she would be here?”
“I can’t be sure,” Eliza said with a look of apology on her face. “But I feel like it might be this winter.”
“Thank fuck,” I whispered, a huge wave of relief rolling through me.
