Started of kinda good, the authors "touched" on a subject that is taboo in our society, mental illness, which was good. . . What I didn't like, is that the writers thought it was more important to give us detail explicit sex, than humanizing and developing other characters in the story, like Au...

I wish there had been more about their r relationship as teenagers, with Jas filling in and playing the knight in shining armor since her boyfriend was running around on her, but for what it's worth it was a really sweet story. I also wish there had been more written on Tiffany and Lisa. Like som...
1) Why is this book so heavy on discussion of Go-gurt? It's debatably the least sexy word. Also, why would A woman feel so much appreciation when a man remembers how many processed tubes of blue yogurt her son can have in one day?! 2) what kind of financially irresponsible hospital allows a nurse...
Not sure why but I think this is my favorite of the series***** Sometimes I get in the mood for an "easy" read and this series was exactly what I was looking for! I discovered the Melanie Shawn "Crossroads" books with the first one My First as a free iBook download. While the writing is certainly...
I have been on pins and needles waiting to read Eddie's book. I'm so glad he ended up with someone as special as Haley, especially after not only hearing about Lacey... but actually 'meeting' her. Boy is she a pill.Haley and Eddie's story was so easy to read. I didn't feel like I ever wanted to j...
~ Dolly Briggs “So, you started working there right after graduation?” Peter asked as he lifted his mug of beer to his mouth. “Yep. Well, kind of. I worked on spec at first, and then they brought me on as a contract employee, just working story to story.” “Cool.” He nodded and checked his phone f...
Guard your heart,” said Lauren reasonably as she guided the shopping cart she was piloting down the aisle of the grocery store. The four women had made a special trip down into Lake Tahoe for the morning. They had treated themselves to breakfast at Heidi's on Highway 50, a long-standing tradition...
For the last three hours, Emma had had the house to herself. That was exactly what she’d needed. Peace and quiet. No interruptions. No disturbances. No responsibilities pulling her in a thousand directions. The circumstances couldn’t have been more ideal, and she’d written a grand total of one pa...
The open road, a truck, and my woman. I felt ready to write a country song about it. Of course, in the song, I’d have to be wearing boots instead of sneakers. And Michelle would have to trade in her faded, thrift-store Sex Pistols tee for a fitted, button-down, plaid blouse. I preferred my life t...
He was trying to concentrate on straightening out the cafe's accounting system. “Trying” being the operative word there. At this point, he'd been at it for almost four hours and hadn't made any progress at all, so trying and FAILING was more like it. Still. He couldn't make himself care. Try as h...
She wasn’t even sure if she had enough energy to walk the short distance required to make it inside of her house. She wanted to take a bath and go to bed. Her sister Haley’s car was in the driveway, but fingers crossed, Haley would be across the street with her fiancé and ...
What have you got there?” Zach heard Margie yell from her third-story window. It was December and he was dragging an eight-foot Douglas fir down the street. He didn’t think you had to be a genius to figure out what he was doing. “A Christmas tree,” Zach yelled up, his breath visible due to the fr...
He felt like he was a teenager again, sneaking in the house, as he slipped off his shoes so that he could walk soundlessly across the hardwood floors trying not to wake anyone. His dad was doing a lot better, but he still needed all the rest he could get. The last thing Brian wanted to do was wak...
Amy asked, as they pulled up in front of Mountain Ridge Outdoor Adventures.Shelby had gone over to her brother’s house to spend some time with the twins before she and Amy had left for their book club meeting. It had only been four days since she’d seen them last, but the girls had already change...
Her cover story was that she worked from home doing medical billing. It was always easier to set up a fake identity for a person who 'worked from home.' First of all, it was reasonable. A lot of people telecommuted or owned their own consulting businesses nowadays. Secondly, this meant that no ph...
The only sound in the room was the click, click, clicking of her fingers on the keyboard. Out of his peripheral vision he watched her sitting behind her desk, her back straight, staring at her computer with her dark hair falling in waves around her face. “I know you’re mad,” she repeated, her eye...
Mike and Nikki had skipped the last meeting because Nikki wasn’t feeling well. It had worked out fine because it had been with the board of a high-tech development firm and Adam had easily fielded their questions. Whenever things had started going over their heads, he’d adjusted, making sure each...
Really.” Sophie held the phone to her ear as she tried to channel her inner Meryl Streep while she pushed the front door open and dropped her purse onto the tiled entryway before she practically tripped over her own feet as she rushed down the hallway towards the bathroom. “Amber and Haley said t...
