Grant Mercer is on the run from his secrets…
This was supposed to be an easy assignment—travel halfway across the globe and compose the musical score for an upcoming Hollywood movie by one of the biggest production companies in Los Angeles.

Simone Reynolds is mending a broken heart…
Just months after finaling in one of television's most watched singing competitions, I should be riding the high of my life.

And then there's Grant—brooding and rugged and an absolute pain in my ass as he messes with my movie.
He's as broken as I am, but the perfect harmony is only a leap of faith away.

REVIEW: SHEER (EXPOSED) BY SARAH ROBINSON
Sheer: A Hollywood Romance by Sarah Robinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wounded hearts get a chance to heal. Robinson takes the broken and makes them whole. The beauty of the Exposed series is that images can be deceiving. There's drama under the surface waiting to bubble over. It's how the people handle the fallout that makes the stories so intriguing. Sheer is the beginning of the end for an unforgettable series. As Grant and Simone find their way in the industry of bright lights and heartache, each tackles hard knocks in their personal lives and insecurities in their professional ones. The fault in our stars is that we all have flaws. It's the lessons we learn and the peace we find from working through them, that helps us become who we're meant to be. Gritty, sensitive and inspiring tale.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
You always hurt the one's you love. Though unintentionally, Rio made some bad choices that complicated her life and ultimately broke her own heart.

Now older and wiser, she finds her heart in even more trouble when she reopens old wounds for the one that got away. Ian is her ideal guy, but his heart has always belonged to someone else. Can she survive the pain of losing more than her heart this time around? Biel has crafted a tale of battered hearts, bruised egos and second chances that reads like a tornado hunting for it's rainbow. Painful, insightful and unforgettable.

BILLIONAIRE UNCHALLENGED: CARTER ( THE BILLIONAIRE'S OBSESSION) BY J. S. SCOTT
Release Date: August 28, 2018
SYNOPSIS
I hate alpha men with an attitude. Or at least I did...until I literally ran into Carter Lawson one day. He obviously likes control, which automatically made me want to watch him completely lose it. Not only is he alpha to the point of obnoxiousness, but he's also a billionaire, one of the three brothers who owns one of the largest technology companies in the world.
In other words, Carter Lawson and I have absolutely nothing in common except the sexual chemistry that burns white-hot every single time we see each other.
Maybe I should be running--no, sprinting--away from him. After all, he's left a trail of heartache in his wake.
But Carter Lawson isn't all that he seems to be on the surface.
I want to crack him like an egg to see what's inside.
Sometimes, it might be better not to tweak the tiger's tail.
Problem is...I happen to have a fondness for big cats, even though they're dangerous.
I just didn't count on Carter turning the tables on me once he'd rocked my world in one amazing night of pleasure that was going to leave me craving so much more.

Billionaire Unchallenged: Carter by J.S. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Brynn and Carter are perfectly imperfect. They know how to put on a show for the world, but not how to be true to themselves. Billionaire Unchallenged is a masquerade. A hiding of the heart's desires, but a feast of sensual delight. Scott takes us beyond the jerk that tried to break up Jett and Ruby. Carter is full of love to give, yet afraid to let anyone get too close. Brynn wants to be happy, but is afraid of what that means. From the first eye link to the ensuing heartache, Carter and Brynn had me hooked on falling in love. J. S. Scott is not afraid of showing that in love, we have to expose ourselves to the pain in order to get to a happy ending.

BIG TALKING MAN (KINGS OF CASTLE BEACH) BY MARQUITA VALENTINE
Release Date: August 28, 2018
SYNOPSIS
I, Quinn King, do solemnly swear that I’m not the least bit attracted to my brother’s best friend, all around pain in my tail, and sexiest man alive, Tate Prescott… anymore.
He’s a big shot actor turned director out in L.A. and spends his days sweet-talking actresses right out of their Agent Provocateur Lingerie… or so the tabloids say.
Apparently he’s run out of playmates, because Tate’s returned home under the guise of giving back to our community by filming his next blockbuster here in Castle Beach. The salon that I own is busier than ever because of it, too.
What the women around here don’t realize is that Tate is the love them and leave them type. But I haven’t forgotten and I refuse to be the girl who wastes her time on him.
Then one day on my way to work, my car breaks down and who ends up rescuing me, but Tate himself. Before I can say thanks but no thanks, he’s demanding to be repaid with a date. Then one date turns into two, then three and…
... I might be addicted to his kisses, his washboard abs, and… well, you get the picture.
Now everyone thinks we’re a couple.
Worse, I think we’re a couple.
In the end, though, Tate will go back to L.A., no matter what he promises... just like he did before, because he's nothing but a big talking man.

Big Talking Man by Marquita Valentine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A picture is worth a thousand words, but that picture isn't always a beautiful one. How is it that Ms. Valentine can break a heart in one breath and piece it back together in the next? Tate and Quinn are love at it's purest and it's most heartbreaking. Brought together by love, torn apart part by grief and given a second chance by hope. Big Talking Man is a complicated story that thrives on an abundance of emotion. What once was pure becomes unbearable after tragedy enters the equation. Now it's up to these lovebirds to stay the course or go their separate ways. With a hint at another precious love and a devotion that quickly envelops Marquita Valentine continues to be a must have on my bookshelf.

From New York Times bestselling author SHANNON STACEY
Meet the tough, dedicated men of BOSTON FIRE—and the women who turn their lives upside down
When faced with the opportunity to change shifts while staying in the same house, veteran firefighter Derek Gilman jumps at the chance. His new schedule means not working Saturdays, which means more time to spend with his two kids. His divorce may have been amicable, but being a firefighter and a single dad is a lot to juggle. And when fate brings a gorgeous, wealthy woman into his life, he’s pretty sure he can’t handle more than he already is.
Olivia McGovern loves plans. She planned to start her own business and planned its growth. It’s earning her seven figures now, but her personal life simply doesn’t exist.

What would have been a random incident with an attractive stranger becomes something more when a charity event brings them back together.

SYNOPSIS
Billionaire CEO Michael Vilander needed just one date. Creating a fake profile on his own matchmaking website may not have been his brightest move.

Not only is she gorgeous, but after spending half the night exchanging messages with her, he finds her to be naive, innocent and way too sexy.
Twenty-four-year-old Sophia Baldwin is barely able to make ends meet.

When he asks her to the Denver Arts Foundation’s Annual Valentine’s Day Gala, she’s confident things are looking up.
Once Sophia learns that her hot date is none other than website mogul Michael Vilander, she’s definitely not mentioning her night job. What’s a lie by omission anyway? After all, it’s only one date…Until Michael’s ex flaunts her fancy engagement ring in Michael’s face and something compels Sophia to announce her and Michael’s engagement. AKA, fake engagement. They agree on one month to pretend they’re in love before all bets are off.
Pretending to be in love with a sweet and sexy billionaire, but not actually falling in love, ahem, how hard could it be?

He’s back. Hank Logan, the man who broke Lana Sweet’s heart, the man she never forgot, is back in their little town and making her fall in love with him all over again. After her brother Michael’s death ten years ago, Hank disappeared, leaving behind the devastated girl who’d loved him since the first grade. Lana is one tough nut to crack, except when it comes to Hank. With him, she’s just a big pushover. One smile, one kiss, and she’s back where she started. Except now she’s pregnant and wondering if she can count on a man who walked away—who could walk away again—leaving her to deal with the consequences. Just like before.
Hank never meant to come back to his hometown, but when he heard about the wildfire threatening Cedar Springs, he had to return. Who’s he kidding? Sure, there was a fire, but the bigger draw was Lana. In the ten years since Michael’s death, Hank hasn’t been back, but he never could get Lana out of his thoughts, never could move on when she was the only girl he’d ever loved. Blaming himself for Michael’s death, Hank can’t bring himself to tell Lana the truth of what happened that night. Not when telling her would mean he might never get her back.
Hank and Lana are about to say good-bye forever just as the embers of the flames reignite, giving them one more chance to realize they can’t live without one another. But do they have the courage to rekindle their love?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Whether you laugh, cry or scream, you will never forget a Meghan Quinn novel. She looks at life from ever angle and finds the bright side in the darkest moments. The Left Side of Perfect is the beginning. Flying blind has never been such a treat. I love kooky characters like Ryan. She was an ice breaker for the drama that lies ahead. Colby needed his feathers ruffled a bit. A great starter to the main course.
