Robert is just ending his term of being the Mayor of New York City.  There must be a party to celebrate his good work.  Doesn't hurt that he is thinking of running for Governor too.  The people seem to like him and he is good at this job.

Adeline, trying to make the party for Robert, is fighting the feelings she is starting to feel for him.  It is a madhouse to go back into the slippery slope that is politics.  When he finds out who her father is this whole scenario will be worse.  Since he is the first man to make her feel in years should she take a chance?

I absolutely loved the story.  Fast paced, with corners of darkness shadowing the light, I loved the characters and their weaknesses that were showing.  There was banter, and sexual innuendo and frustration at first.  All the more titillating and the sparks were humming as we read the first half.  The second half, however, is where the real scandal lies.  I give this great read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Jack moves back to take over the bar, after his father's death.  He has no idea the surprises coming his way.  Emerson crashes into his life in the literal sense.  He finds that being around her makes everything make sense.

Emerson is told repeatedly by family she is not good enough.  She has spent the last year, picking up the pieces of a failed relationship.  Jack helps her out, so she returns the favor at the bar.  Now if they can just get their timing right.

This book was such a sexy slow burn.  These characters were so ready for one another and did not even know it.  I loved that reading this story made me laugh, and tear up.  Everything a romance should be.  I cannot wait to read the next installment in the new Something True series.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Phillip by Cristin Harber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book #4, in the 7 Brides For 7 Blackthornes series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order.

Ashley has grown up in her mother's shadow. Her mother always pushing her towards her belief in what should be the spotlight. Marry into the right family. Date the right man. Do not fall for an ex-boyfriend who has trouble being responsible. What if she wants to marry for love?

Phillip literally crashes an event Ashley is doing. Finding out his family has seen her regularly when he cannot even get over his broken heart..... it just guts him. The sparks fly whenever they are in the same room. He knows he has to take it slow to woo Ashley back into his life. How do you wait when your forever is right in front of you?

Such an amazing addition to this great series. This author is always a 1-click for me, and with this story she did not disappoint. Second-chance books can be tricky since I want them to be a realistic one as well. I loved the banter, the surprises, the heat, the pace - it just truly was a "let's turn the page and get to more" kind of read for me!
