REVIEW: GOING DOWN EASY (BILLIONAIRE BAD BOYS) BY CARLY PHILLIPS
Going Down Easy by Carly PhillipsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Carly Phillips proves that she can create a deeply moving piece of literary magic. Going Down Easy may not have had the shock value that she normally delivers but her signature style of sensuality was interwoven with a wonderful cast of characters. I didn't expect to cry but I did. A lot. I received an ARC of Going Down Easy in exchange for an honest review. My first opinion of Kaden, a jerk with a chip on his shoulder was somewhat accurate but not completely true. He found it easiest to be an ogre than let any one particularly of the feminine persuasion close enough to hurt him. Lexie girds herself with a smile to hide the heartache and responsibility that has dogged her in her life. She doesn't let anyone close enough to witness the fear she holds deep inside. When a story tackles issues like mental illness which is a struggle that is dealt with on a global scale, I find it holds a deeper meaning within my life. My grandmothers both struggled with depression, dementia and Alzheimer's throughout their lives and so I know what it feels like to want to help someone and know that the issue is bigger than one person can handle. Ms. Phillips showed that in the darkest moments there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for bringing a hidden subject into the light Ms. Phillips.

In SEASIDE LOVERS...
After months of long-distance communication, actress Parker Collins and artist Grayson Lacroux finally plan to reconnect in the seaside town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts. But Parker never shows, and weeks pass without a word, leaving Grayson to believe he's misinterpreted their budding relationship.
Parker has been running on autopilot ever since she lost her friend, mentor, and the only family she's ever known, Bert Stein. Armed with junk food, tequila, and her big, lovable dog, she's prepared to hole up and mourn--and determined to mend a fence Bert had never been able to with his estranged and bitter brother. But Parker didn't count on the sinfully hot artist she's been fantasizing about for nearly a year walking in on her grief-induced drunken night.
When Grayson stumbles across Parker, he has no idea what to make of the gorgeous blonde who blew him off despite the heat sizzling between them. But that doesn't stop him from feeling protective of the woman who's consumed his thoughts for months, and when he learns of Parker's plans to confront an angry old man, he refuses to leave her side. As Parker's past unfolds, they're led on an unexpected journey of discovery. Their connection deepens, and late-night fantasies become passionate realities, until good intentions spark painful secrets, threatening the love they've found.

ARC Review: Seaside Lovers (Love In Bloom: Seaside Summers) by Melissa Foster
Parker with all her accomplishments and charitable contributions is still a lonely little girl searching for her place in an ever changing world. Loss of a close friend and the pressures of fame leave her feeling overwhelmed and isolated. Maybe that's what drove her quest to end a bitter family rift between her deceased mentor and his estranged brother. Along the way she develops a sense of purpose and gains insight into herself by facing her fears. Grayson played a key role in bringing her out of her shell and opening her eyes to all the possibilities she had turned a blind eye to before. Seaside Lovers shines a light on love, loss and the paradox of life. Passionate, complicated but always illuminating and compassionate.

CRAZY NIGHTS (BARRINGTON BILLIONAIRES) BY DANIELLE STEWART
Release Date: July 21, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Emmitt Kalling isn’t satisfied unless he’s smashing something. It can be a punching bag at the gym or some jerk’s face at the bar. He’s not picky. Since arriving home from his last deployment, he’s itching for some action. But he only finds the same problems he faced before he enlisted.
Evie Pike has been exiled from her budding acting career with few future prospects. On a journey to find her purpose, she discovers her path is only paved with disappointment and the coffee she keeps spilling on her bosses. Feeling painfully unqualified for almost everything, she realizes a chance to hop a plane with Emmitt is like a ripcord on a parachute; she’d better pull it before it’s too late.
She’s desperate to connect. He’s a master at no strings attached. Their attraction is magnetic, but their opinions are polarizing. Will their sizzling chemistry be enough?

REVIEW: CRAZY NIGHTS (BARRINGTON BILLIONAIRES) BY DANIELLE STEWART
Words Emmitt Kalling lives by. No attachments mean no more pain. No one to disappointment in the long run. Evie is the opposite in that she grabs hold of every moment and bad experience. She lives to the fullest instead of just existing. I received an ARC of Crazy Nights in exchange for an honest review. Was not a fan of Emmitt at first introduction but he grows on you after a while. His shield of nonchalance is his way of coping with the darkness in his soul. He has issues he needs to work though but his wounds are so deep he may not survive exposing them all. Evie and Emmitt shouldn't have worked but they did. Ever the pessimist Emmitt had closed himself off scared to take a chance, Evie looks at the bright side and is always looking for a better solution to an emotional situation. Together they made each other better because they gave each other balance and made each other happy. Crazy Nights is my first read by Danielle Stewart. She captured me. It will not be my last.
