Even If We Last by Molly Barlowe

Molly Barlowe's latest release, Even If We Last is out now. Another great book in her Huntley Square series..

I’m what people call a charmer. Maybe it’s the drawl, maybe it’s the dimples, or maybe it’s the entire ex-Special-Forces package. Either way, I’ve never met a woman I haven’t been able to sweep off their feet . . . until Mallory Monroe. The only female on our team, she’s all fierce words, brave actions, and impenetrable walls around her heart. She’s also the only girl I’ve ever loved.

After burying my feelings for over a decade, I’m not surprised I dream of waking up married to her. Except, it isn’t a dream; the certificate claiming we’re husband and wife is real, and neither of us remembers a thing. Dream come true or not, I never wanted this. Not when my new bride looks horrified, accuses me like our situation is my fault, and demands we “fix it.”

But while I’d do almost anything for her—including taking a bullet for her, again—leaving her, in any sense of the word, isn’t one of those things. And when Mallory makes no move to annul our secret marriage, even months later, I decide to test the waters by attempting to date my wife.

Goodreads | Amazon | Signed Paperback

Even If We Last is book 3 in Molly Barlowe's Huntley Square series. I absolutely loved Mallory and Gray's story. Co-workers to best friends to waking up to find out they were married with no memory of how. It had me hooked from page one. Grab it today and find out how Mallory and Gray navigate this unexpected development. And if you're familiar with Molly's books, you'll know there's more to the story than just an unexpected marriage. What? I'll let you find out for yourself. It's more fun that way. :)

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas. When she's not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach . . . which roughly translates to being a caffeine-fueled homebody. She has a weakness for nerdy movies and loves curling up in a fluffy blanket during a thunderstorm . . . or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.

Review - A Night of No Regrets / Regretting You Movie

I went to the A Night of No Regrets event for the Regretting You movie on Thursday (10/23). If you're a fan of Colleen Hoover and the book, it's a must see. If you're a fan of movies, it's a must see. 

Before the movie started we got to see behind-the-scene clips, and a Q&A that was moderated by Amanda Hirsch from the https://www.notskinnybutnotfat.com Podcast. She chatted with Director Josh Boone (who also directed The Fault In Our Stars), and actors Allison Williams (who played Morgan), Mckenna Grace (who played Clara), Mason Thames (who played Miller), and Dave Franco (who played Jonah). We also got to listen to a few songs from Hannah Cohen, who is on the soundtrack. 

For those of you not familiar with the book, here's the synopsis:

Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike.

Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn’t have a spontaneous bone in her body.

With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris—Morgan’s husband, Clara’s father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara.

While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfort in the last person she expects to, and Clara turns to the one boy she’s been forbidden to see. With each passing day, new secrets, resentment, and misunderstandings make mother and daughter fall further apart. So far apart, it might be impossible for them to ever fall back together.

Now, on to the movie. I thought they did a fabulous job of bringing Regretting You to life. There were so many emotions. I laughed, cried, laughed again, and sobbed. I absolutely loved it. I highly recommend you go see it! Just remember the tissues.

After the movie, we got the most adorable bracelet, some cute stickers, and poster (pictures below). 

I had such a great time! Thank you to @RegrettingYouMovie and @ParamountFilms for a great and memorable night.

 

Lucky Shot by K. Bromberg

Lucky Shot is a spicy bad boy/good girl, close proximity, sports romance from New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg.

Our first meeting? He stood me up.

Our second chance encounter? I told him exactly what I thought of him.

Our third? It came with a bet (he lost) and an understanding that we’re stuck with one another.

It doesn’t matter that he’s Alexander Hardy—British soccer star extraordinaire, world-famous in every way, and a certified sex symbol. We come from two different worlds and live in two different realities. But all we need is one month.

The bet: Help him rehab his reputation to the media and the masses, and in exchange, he’ll help my soccer academy and the underprivileged kids who idolize him.

That doesn’t mean I have to like him. Not his delicious accent, his sexy smirk or those storm cloud gray eyes. Not his incredibly fit body or his sinfully dirty mouth. Not even the way he shows up day after day for the kids or the way he looks at me like he wants to devour me.

He looks at time spent in my world as a penance, while I look at it as a way to leverage his star power to help my academy survive.

But as the days turn to weeks, it seems we’re not as different as I once thought. The man who cares about no one, has fixed his sights on me. With his time at my academy up and his obligations back home calling, do we have a lucky shot of working out?

Buy On Amazon

Lucky Shot was such a great story. I absolutely loved it. The chemistry between Whitney and Hardy was perfect. I laughed, I cried, I didn't want to put it down. Highly recommend!

Perfect Enough by Kelly Elliott

 

"Josh and Sophia’s story will take you on a unique journey." ~ Amazon Review

Over the years, Joshua has watched most of his family fall in love. He and his cousin Nate are the last single Shaws standing, and while Nate’s seemingly content to stay that way, Josh wants the kind of love his sister, parents, and grandparents have found. In the meantime, he’s alone. And lonely. Particularly since, until that special someone comes along, Josh believes certain…ahem…intimacies are worth waiting for.

Sophia Montgomery is still reeling from the unexpected passing of her beloved father when, in her grief, she texts his old phone number—and gets a reply. The person on the other end, Josh Shaw, is sympathetic, funny, and kind…everything Sophia needs right now. And when her grieving mother suddenly focuses on Sophia’s dating life, it’s not long before Josh goes from text friend to fake boyfriend to get her mom off her back.

But the first time Josh and Sophia meet in person? Well…there’s nothing fake about their instant attraction.

Giddy with newfound feelings, the young couple isn't prepared for the bombs about to go off in their lives—including revelations about Sophia's father and a Shaw family tragedy that rocks Josh's entire world.

No one ever said life would be perfect. But if Josh and Sophia rely on each other to get through their biggest challenges so far as a couple, their love could prove more than perfect enough.

New Release - Even If It Hurts by Molly Barlowe

Even If It Hurts by Molly Barlowe is the first in her Huntley Square series.

My life and career have conditioned me to be prepared for—and desensitized to—traumatic events. Rather, they should’ve. But one phone call blindsided me in a way I never expected, and now there's a screaming eight-month-old in my custody.

I would’ve done anything to ensure my niece didn’t enter the system, but I never wanted a family. I never wanted ties to anyone, period.

But then my meddling office administrator forcibly hires a nanny for me, and all my resolute vows start crumbling when I come face to face with Lainey Pearson . . . again.

She’s no one—should be no one. Just an oblivious girl I saved nearly a year ago. But she’s the only one who’s ever rocked me. Consumed me. I immediately want to fire her, but with the social worker breathing down my neck, I need her.

Then again, now that she’s fallen back into my life, having a working boundary might be for the best. My life doesn’t allow for relationships, and last I checked, it was frowned upon to date your employees.

Especially when they’re already in a relationship.

Grab it here on Amazon!

I absolutely LOVED Asher and Lainey’s story. Even If It Hurts by Molly Barlowe grabbed me from the beginning and didn’t let go. I was right there feeling everything they were feeling. Lainey and Asher had me in the feels while other characters had me giggling, and then there were other characters I just wanted to flat out punch. LOL Highly recommend. Grab it today!

Review - The Arrangement by Adriana Locke

 

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a new age-gap workplace romance featuring a former military hero who falls first and hard for his heroine. You will swoon over this spicy standalone romance. 

The gorgeous CEO of Brewer Air is my boss and, thanks to a bet, my new husband for six months.

Why? Because I begged.

I have a grandmother to support, a stack of bills higher than my five-foot frame, and as a cherry on top, I need to find a new place to live. Soon.

Sure, Jason Brewer’s bright green eyes and chiseled jawline steal my breath. His smirk makes me weak. The former military hero’s protective nature is as sexy as watching him control a boardroom or fly a plane.

But none of that matters. I’m desperate—not foolish. I know forever-level commitments aren’t real. This is simply a business transaction with a billionaire.

It’s too bad we didn’t consider all contingencies.

Our first kiss was to seal the deal. The second was in front of an Elvis impersonator. The third kiss led to a honeymoon that was so hot it burned into my memory.

I tell myself it’s okay because there’s an arrangement in place. It’s a—very—enjoyable means to a much-needed end. There’s nothing to worry about.

Except there is …

Jason is determined to prove that we could be more. When he proposes a new arrangement, it changes everything in ways I never saw coming.

Available On Amazon

I loved Jason and Chloe’s story. It was emotional, funny, and it brought me to tears more than once. Highly recommend you grab it today!

USA Today, Washington Post, and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Adriana Locke lives and breathes books. After years of slightly obsessive relationships with the flawed bad boys created by other authors, Adriana has created her own. 

She resides in the Midwest with her husband, four sons, and two dogs. She spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. You can find her outside if the weather's nice and there's always a piece of candy in her pocket.
