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.

Review - Fighting For Love by Kelly Elliott

 

From Kelly Elliott comes book 2 in her Boston Love series. Fighting for Love is about a larger-than-life firefighter who inspires a career-driven woman to live in the moment—and trust in the power of love—in this flirty, emotional novel.

Finn Ward has two passions: being a firefighter and being single. Although his parents are constantly nagging him to settle down, Finn just wants to enjoy himself while he’s young. Then, at a union meeting, he meets a gorgeous lawyer with a dazzling smile—and suddenly, settling down doesn’t sound so bad.

Rory Adams is fresh out of law school and looking to make a name for herself at her mother’s firm. She doesn’t have time for silly games anymore. But when she catches the eye of a dashing fireman who makes her body tingle from across the room, something instantly ignites between them. The only problem? Her father is Finn’s boss.

Their relationship turns both of their lives upside-down. Rory tames Finn’s wild ways, while he shows her that life can’t be all work and no play. But it’ll take some serious determination to keep their love secret—and real courage to admit the truth.

Kristin Mayer is a wife, a proud mother, and a full-time Analyst and Import Manager. Since an early age, she has always enjoyed reading and writing. While visiting her father one weekend, he suggested that she should take up writing again. With family and a career, she didn’t give it a lot of thought, until a story entered her mind and wouldn’t leave. It just kept forming and developing over a couple of months.

At the beginning of 2013, she decided to sit down and write it all down, but she kept it to herself. One sentence developed into two, and before she knew it, she had the makings of a novel.

Kristin tries to live life to the fullest during every moment. She loves to travel and meet new people. She holds a degree in International Business and uses it daily in her job. Kristin now adds “author” on her list of jobs, and feels very blessed and thankful.

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful Friday. :) Welcome to Day 2 of my birthday celebration. Today I am going to talk about some of my favorite people and give away prizes. There will be nine (9) winners total for today so be sure to enter! 

Kelly Elliott

http://www.kellyelliottauthor.com/

Have you met Kelly Elliott? Not only does she write the yummiest cowboys, she's one of the sweetest people I've met. I had the pleasure of meeting her first in 2013 at the Naughty Mafia event in Vegas and then again in Seattle where she took the time to meet some of her readers while she was in the area. Because she's one of my favorites, I'm going to give away a Kindle copy of the first book in her Wanted series. It's one of my favorite series and the first book I read by Kelly. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Molly McAdams

http://www.mollysmcadams.com/

For those of you who have followed me for awhile, it should be no surprise that Molly is on my list today. I am a huge fan and big support of her. When I had the opportunity to meet Molly at the Naughty Mafia event in Vegas in 2013, I told her I had to hug her for making me cry so much. If you've read Taking Chances and Stealing Harper, you should understand. She's also ruined me (in a good way) with Forgiving Lies/Deceiving Lies, but that's a whole other story. LOL #KashIsMine Today I am giving away a KINDLE copy of Letting Go, which is fabulous!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Cora Carmack

http://coracarmack.blogspot.com/

Cora writes the most fabulous, funny, awkward love stories. If you haven't read them yet, I would start with Losing It. She also just released an NA paranormal romance based around Greek Mythology last month. OMG, it was awesome! Even if you don't read paranormal (I rarely read it), if you like romance, you should give it a try. But I warn you, #WilderIsMine ;) Bahaahaha! Today I am giving away a Kindle Copy of INSPIRE and a signed paperback of All Lined Up, book 1 in Cora's Rusk University series. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jane Porter

http://janeporter.com/

I first met Jane at the Emerald City Writer's Conference Book Fair a few years ago. I had read a few of her Harlequin titles, but I was excited to meet her because she was the first author I was aware of that grew up in the same area of California as I did. It was fun talking to her about it. Since then I've had the pleasure of watching the amazing work she and the fellow founding authors have done with Tule Publishing. Today I am giving away a signed set of Jane's The Brennan Sisters series. Book 2, The Good Daughter, is my favorite, but the entire series is great! 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kristen Proby

http://www.booksbykristenproby.com/

I happened upon Kristen's books when I was looking for something new to read. As I am fascinated by all things Seattle, the fact that her series was based there was very appealing to me. So much, in fact, that I bought all the books that were available at the time. I'm so very glad I did because I ended up loving all of them. I've also had the pleasure of meeting Kristen a few times and she's such a sweetheart. :) Today I am giving away a signed copy of Loving Cara, the first in her Love Under The Big Sky series. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

K. Bromberg

http://www.kbromberg.com/

I was told I just had to read these books about this race car driver named Colton by a friend of mine, so I bought Driven and Fueled, but I didn't read them right away because she also said they had cliffhangers. I normally don't mind cliffhangers, I like to be surprised, but I heard the second one had a pretty wicked one, so I wasn't in a hurry to read them. I finally broke down because I kept reading more and more and then I wondered why I didn't read them sooner. They were amazing. Then I started following and interacting with Kristy and discovered what a great person she was. I finally had the awesome opportunity to meet her a few months ago and she's just as fantastic in person as she is online. She also holds the place of being the first author to make me cry on a plane while reading. LOL Today I am giving away a signed copy of RACED. This is the companion novella to the Driven series that features several different scenes from Colton's point of view. It's amazing and more emotional than you would expect given the fact that it's not a complete story. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Mandi Beck

http://www.authormandibeck.com/

Mandi is releasing her debut novel, Love Hurts, on January 23rd. I had the awesome opportunity to read this book early and It.Is.Amazing! She gave me this little sneak peek teaser below to share with you. I can't wait for you to meet Deacon. Keep watch for this hot, dirty-talkin' fighter. You aren't going to want to miss him! Today I am giving away a Kindle copy of Love Hurts, which will be gifted to the winner via Amazon on release day.

Fate has a way of stepping in and righting itself when we least expect it. 

Maddison Powers has been regretting the biggest mistake of her life when she walked away from the only man who has ever sparked something deep inside her. After comparing every guy she dates to Cale Blackwood, she finally gives up all hope of ever finding him. 

 

One dare by Maddison throws Cale back into her life...and into the arms of her best friend. 

 

Cale Blackwood thought he had found the woman of his dreams, until she walked away from him one night and didn't look back. Attempting to find love again, Cale finds himself in a relationship built on one lie after another. Forced to take on the biggest challenge of his life, Cale must seek help from the woman who walked away from him and broke his heart. 

 

Sometimes it takes more than one journey in life to truly be home.

Maddie's POV

“Cale, you need to go home.”

He closed his eyes and shook his head. “You’re doing it again. You’re pushing me away. I’m tired of it, Maddie. I’m so tired of it.”

I swallowed hard and turned to find my phone. I needed Jack to come pick up Cale.

I was about to dial my phone when Cale grabbed me. He turned me around and backed me up until I hit the living room wall.

His eyes were filled with lust. That look had my panties soaked in seconds.

He lifted up my dress and, in one quick movement, he ripped my panties from my body. I wanted to cry out yes. I wanted to let him take me, but I couldn’t.

“Cale,” I said. “Don’t do this.”

He kissed my neck and I started to give in. When his hand touched my inner thigh, I startled. His lips moved to mine and I moaned, desperately, into his mouth as he lifted my leg.

“Oh God,” I whispered. I tried to come to my senses. “Cale, please don’t do this. We can’t do this.”

He moved his lips to my jaw line as he kissed around to my ear. “Are you turned on by me? Or by him?”

The moment he asked, I felt like a whore. I dropped my leg and pushed him back.

I wiped the tears from my eyes.

“Jesus. I didn’t mean that Maddie. I just—”

“Get out,” I said. “Get out of my house and don’t you dare set foot near me again. I hate you, Cale.”
