The Best Kind Of Love

by Kerri Carpenter

The Best Kind of Love Synopsis:

After twelve years away, organized consultant, Penelope Walker, doesn’t expect to return to Blue Lake, Virginia. But when her parents unexpectedly die, she returns to her hometown and finds out that general contractor and former love of her life, Ethan Callahan, is back too. Their relationship transcended the typical high school romance and his mere presence is enough to have all those feelings of passion return full force. Only she can’t forget that Ethan didn’t show up for their secret elopement and left her brokenhearted.

It doesn’t take long for Ethan to realize he wants Penelope back, but he knows she won’t let go of the past that easily. When she finds out what her parents asked him to do all those years ago, she’ll never let him back into her life. Even though he did all of it for her.

Penelope’s determined to unravel the mystery of their shared pasts, while Ethan wants nothing more than to move on to their future. If these two former lovers can learn to forgive and forget, will they be able to remember that they had the best kind of love?

Kerri Carpenter Bio:

Kerri Carpenter began writing in her grandmother’s kitchen at the age of seven in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, PA. A life-long fan of reading, she got lost in the worlds of The Baby-sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. She also assumed that everyone had characters and plots forming in their heads at all times.

Once she turned to romance novels, she couldn’t get enough of books with happy endings, so she started writing her own. Now, Kerri writes contemporary romances, usually set in small towns. She enjoys reading, cooking, watching movies, taking Zumba classes, rooting for Pittsburgh sports teams, and anything sparkly. Kerri lives in Northern Virginia with her adorable (and mischievous) poodle mix, Harry.

Synopsis

Review

Young love can be damaging to a girl. Especially when you believe your boyfriend has been cheating on you. Penelope is 17 and is in love with Ethan (19). This love has got her unable to think straight. She is putting off her dreams of college and is acting out towards her parents. After Pen was forbidden to see Ethan, she comes up with a plan for eloping. And that’s when her lovely world crumbles. One phone call to Ethan’s house erupts in cheating accusations and the feeling of abandonment in their plans to elope. Even though the moment is torturous in a 17 year old girls mind, she was able to move on, go to college, and score a successful job.

Sadly an accident happens and all 4 sisters come home to Blue Lake, and it just so happens that Ethan is living there now. Secrets get revealed, but will Penelope and Ethan get their happy ending or will the secret be too much?

I loved this story, kind of brought on a Nicholas Sparks kind of feel. While the story was building, I felt it was a tad slow. But the chemistry between Ethan and Pen is inevitable. I love how after 12 years of separation, these two have the chemistry and still know one another. It was definitely on point for them. Writing style was good, I liked how the author didn’t do too formal introductions to characters. What I mean is she intertwined the sisters in the story and it really helped understand the sisterhood. I enjoyed reading The Best Kind of Love and look forward to reading Chloe’s story.

4 smooches.

Frozen by L.A. Casey Release Day Event and Giveaway

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

Title: Frozen
Author: L.A. Casey

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23437061-frozen

Neala Clarke is a woman of her word, when she gives you it, expect her to deliver. Neala gave her niece Charli her word that she would get her a doll for Christmas. Never mind that there is only one week until Christmas and everywhere that stocked toys is practically sold out. Neala gave her word that she would get that doll for Charli, so she will move mountains to make it happen.

Darcy Hart is a people pleaser, when he is asked last minute for a doll by his adorable six year old nephew Dustin, he of course, says yes. However, Darcy faces a dilemma, the particular doll he needs is sold out everywhere. Darcy makes one last attempt to get the doll at a local toy store, and finds out they have only one left in stock, but he also finds out he is not the only person interested in claiming the doll.

Neala and Darcy go way back, playing in each other’s play pens kind of way back. They are not friends, more like mortal enemies, and both of them wanting a single doll was the start of a series of events that no one could have predicted, not even Father Christmas himself.

I snarled, “Give me the doll. Now!”

Darcy had the box against his chest with both hands on it. His fingers tapped against the box while a smug smile stretched across his face.

He glanced to the snowmen gathered around my feet and teased, “You’ve got to watch your step, sweetheart.”

I blew out a frustrated breath. “I swear if you don’t give me that bloody doll I’ll-”

“You’ll what?” Darcy cut me off, his smug smile still in place on his handsome face.

Damn him.

“I’ll shove me foot so far up your arse you’ll need a surgeon to remove it.”

Darcy’s eyes widened. “You’re a foot shorter than me, and at least fifty pounds lighter. You’re a tiny little thing, Neala Girl. I’m not scared of you. You can’t hurt me.”

He was so wrong.

“I can hurt you, and I will unless you give me the doll.”

Darcy raised an eyebrow and snorted. “How about… no.”

Bastard!

I curled my lip into a sadistic grin. “Okay, you asked for it.”

Darcy shook his head at me and moved forward so he could brush by me. “I don’t have time for- What the hell?”

When Darcy was close enough to do so I manoeuvred my body behind his, hooked my arms around his chest and searched for his nipples with my hands. When I found them, I grabbed them between my index fingers and thumbs and pinched.

“Me nipples, let go of me nipples!” Darcy cried.

I growled and tweaked his nipples a little harder. “Let go of the doll, and I’ll let go of your nipples.”

There’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear myself say.

L.A. Casey was born, raised and currently resides in Dublin, Ireland. She is a twenty two year old stay at home mother to an almost two year old German Shepherd named Storm and of course, her four and half year old (the half is apparently vital) beautiful little hellion/angel depending on the hour of the day.

Her first novel, Dominic, was released on March 17th, 2014, and on March 21st, 2014, it became an international Amazon bestseller.
