 Here is a summary of what the book is about.  Emmy and Oliver were going to be best friends forever, or maybe even more, before their futures were ripped apart.  In Emmy's soul, despite the space and time between them, their connection has never been severed. But is their story still written in the stars? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles- impossible to fit together?

Emmy just wants to be in charge of her own life.... She wants to stay out late, surf her favorite beach- go anywhere without her parents' relentless worrying. But Emmy's parents can't seem to let  her grow up- not since the day Oliver disappeared.

Oliver needs a moment to figure out his heart.... He'd thought, all these years, that  his dad was a good guy. He never knew that it was his father who had kidnapped him and kept him on the run.

Discovering it, and finding himself returned to his old hometown, all at once, has his heart racing, and his thoughts swirling.

Readers will devour theses pages with hearts in throats as Emmy and Oliver struggle to face the messy, confusing consequences of Oliver's father's crime. Full of romance, coming-of-age emotion, and heartache, these two equally compelling characters create an unforgettable  story.

Wow  what an amazing story. I thought it was written very well.  

I found this book to be a real page turner. It was cute and sweet. I couldn't put it down.

My husband bought this book for me as a gift and I fell in love with the cover.

I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Happy Reading Everyone!

"His Convenient Husband" by Robin Covington

My Thoughts....

I found this novel a very interesting well written read that definitely kept my attention all the way till the end. I found the main characters...Isaiah, Victor and Evan and Ian some very intriguing, well developed and believable giving the readers one good story.  Was this a gay read?  Yes! With the two main characters Isaiah [football player] and Victor [ballet dancer] both being from two different backgrounds it was quite interesting in how this author was able to give the readers a story that did connect quite well and bringing the son [Evan] into the picture really helped bring this story altogether.  Even though this was the second marriage for Isaiah [after having losing his former husband Stephen from a accident] will he be able to leave the past behind and start a new one with his new husband? Will Isaiah began to love again? I will say that I didn't really care very much for Isaiah until toward the end where it seems like after a certain incident that involved his son maybe he got some sense in what was really happening in this whole situation.  Now, I don't want to spoil it ...just saying you will have to pick up this novel and see for yourself what all it is about and how this author will bring it all out in the end. I felt that this was a enjoyable story that in the end you will find out if these two will get their HEA

"Hot on Ice".... [Bear Naked] by Katie Kenyhercz

My Thoughts....

Will these two Bear Thompson and Aria Paul finally get their HEA? They had know each other but circumstances had caused one to leave. I found this was a beautifully written story of how what will be will be. Now, it may take a while for all of it to work out as it was for these to but in the end well you will just have to pick up this good read by the author to see how this will all finally come out for Bear and Aria. It will not be a easy road for these two for they both had so much going on in the present life. Who will be willing to change their situation? I found this story somewhat predicable but still a well written one that will definitely keep your attention all the way to the end. It will be quite interesting to see if Bear and Aria will finally get their HEA? Again you will just have to pick up this read to see how it all will all come out.
