Will their past determine their future?
Saint Ford has worked hard to achieve her childhood dream of becoming of nurse. Focused on her work and devoted to her patients, there’s no room for love. She doesn’t need a guy making waves in her calm, serene life—especially when he’s the unforgettable hottie who nearly destroyed her in high school. Dark, brooding Nash Donovan might not remember her or the terrible pain he caused. But he turned her world upside down . . . and now he’s trying to do it again.
Saint has no idea that Nash isn’t the cocky player he once was. Uncovering a devastating family secret has rocked his world, and now he’s struggling to figure out his future. He can’t be distracted by the pretty nurse he seems to meet everywhere. Still, he can’t ignore the sparks that fly between them —or how she seems so desperate to get away from him. But the funny, sweet, and drop-dead gorgeous Saint is far too amazing to give up on—especially since she’s the only thing in his life that seems to make sense.
When Nash discovers the truth about their past, he realizes he may have lost her heart before he could even fight for it. Now, Saint has to decide: is Nash worth risking herself for all over again?

Heller's Regret by JD Nixon


Heller Series: Book 6:

Synopsis: There’s not much ordinary about Tilly Chalmers’ life as a security officer. Her latest assignments – two jobs involving children; protection of a valuable jewellery collection; and security at an unusual conference – provide plenty of adventures for her. But it’s her private life, including her complex relationship with her beautiful boss, Heller, causing her greatest personal challenges yet.

Buy the Book!




Darra's Review:

I know that we have talked and posted about Heller several times. Honestly, I can't help it. We need to give a little love to out Australian author, JD Nixon. I have read A LOT of books. Nixon's book's are one of a kind. Love each character, Tilly is one of my favorite characters. And there is not one series that I have read that is anything like this one. There is so much that happens and Tilly is outrageous and hilarious, you love her for that. She is the friend you wish you had.
In this book, Heller has went off to this new top secret assignment and is gone for weeks at a time. Tilly has no way to talk to him and it takes a toll on their relationship. But Tilly has enough going on in her life that she does not have time to brew on Heller being gone. The book starts out with her being sent off before she can go back to work. All I can say is....Fat Camp. LMAO!
JD Nixon's book are nonstop. There is always something that happens with each assignment she goes on. And by the time the book closes you are sad that there may be a fall out with Tilly and Heller. Who is there for Tilly when she someone the most? That was the problem.

Here is my issue. The last few sentences of the book, I really said at loud "Really, you have got to be kidding me". Meaning, I can't believe you left me hanging JD. My other issue is Book 7 will be the last. NNNNNOOOOOO. I hate reading the last book of a series you have spent so much time loving each character. Sometimes I just can't handle the anguish I know I will endure reading the ending.

I would rate this book a 4.7. If I rated the Series...a 4.8. READ THE SERIES. YOU WILL LOVE IT!

EXCERPT:

Sighing, I wrap a towel around my waist and open the door, ready to try and be at least behave cordially, which I know is only right. “Listen, can I—”

“She’s gone.”

I look up, startled by Laney’s voice and even more shocked to see her sitting on my bed. Thank God I put on a towel. “Where’d she go?”

“Home, I guess.” She shrugs. “I didn’t ask. I heard the front door slam and got up to see what the hell was going on. Since you’re here and she’s not, I’m assuming it was her.”

How did I not hear the door slam? Not that I would’ve chased her. “All right, she left. So what’re you doing in here?”

She stands, grabbing some shorts off my floor and throwing them at me. “Go put those on and we’ll talk. Since I’m up,” she reminds me with an evil glare.

I head back in the bathroom to change, and stay in there, locking the door and taking a deep breath. I’m over six feet tall and lift almost every day, but yes, I’m scared to face Laney. Not only is she a hellcat when she wants to be, but I don’t want to see the disgust or disappointment in her eyes. She’s one of my best friends, even more so after becoming roommates, and her opinion means a lot to me.

“Get out here!” she yells when she finally realizes I must be stalling. “Take it like a man.”

I might as well go out there or she’ll undoubtedly come in here, kicking in the door or taking it off the hinges in what I have no doubt would be less than five minutes.

She pats the bed beside her when I open the door. “Come sit down. We’re doing this now.”

I hesitantly take a seat, my knee bouncing as I wait for her to speak.

“First, and of the utmost importance, you know I call my father ‘Daddy,’ so hearing your visitors scream it repeatedly in the middle of the night freaks me out. I wake up thinking I’m in some bad Lifetime movie.”

Fighting my smirk, I agree. "Okay, got it." Maybe this little chat won’t be so bad after all.

"Second," she stands and tucks my extra pillow between the headboard and wall before sitting back down beside me, "on school and game nights, booty call curfew is eleven. That work for you?"

"Yeah." I sigh and run my hands along my head, wishing I had some hair to pull. "It won't happen again, Gidge. I'm sorry."

She places a hand on my shoulder with a small smile. "Don't be sorry. This is your house too and we hadn't talked about it. Now we have, so we're all good. Any rules you want to put in place?"

"Nah, I'm easy."

"Made crystal clear by the parade of women coming in and out of here." She laughs and scoots away quickly, ducking the pillow I grab and swing at her head. “Speaking of which, been busier than usual lately—you trying to make a little Guinness or Gonorrhea?"
Here we go—this is what she really wants to talk about. It was a nice segue, funny even, but I’m on to her.

Perhaps I've Said Too Much by Rodney LaCroix

The Funniest Book I Have Read...this Year!


Description:

Perhaps I’ve Said Too Much is the much anticipated follow-up
to the heralded, award-winning Things Go Wrong For Me. In
his second book, Rodney continues to harass the reader with his dull wit and unique story-telling style. Complete with original hand-drawn artwork and graphics, one-two punch Brain Nuggets, and the ever-popular Draw Something Files, Perhaps will not disappoint.* (Assumes you are an immature child who enjoys potty humor and making fart noises with your armpits.)

BUY THE BOOK:


Darra's Review:

I got this spam in my inbox about reading this book. I was leery since it came from an email address that sounded like a porn name. Midget man of steel? But I could not help myself but to click on the email. Checking my surrounding area to make sure my IT guy at work wasn't behind me wondering what questionable things I was looking at, I read the email. BTW-NOT SPAM! Rodney LaCroix wrote his latest about...well..           E. All the above.

First, I want to say that we read A LOT of girly books. The ones that have the broken, unloved shy girl who falls in love with the guy that can't help but give his virginity away to hundreds of women over and over, day after day until he sees "her" and they become soul mates 4-EV-ER! If I  offended any author I read, apologies! This was so not about you!

This book made me laugh. Actually out loud instead of just that ha..funny, I hear in my head. Loved the stories about when he was a kid and also that party he had. Picasso chair. So my favorites about the book are the pictures. Yeah, I do sound like a tool writing that but he puts little notes on them, for instance about where all his scars are. :-)

Okay so I can't give you too much details without screwing it all up for the rest of you.
Just know that Rodney may have a phobia of some sort........

AND if you are reading this Mr. LaCroix-when I was a kid, I stepped on a spider and then all theses little baby spiders started spilling out into the hallway. I can only imagine you could have been that kid behind me that screamed running down the wrong way in the hallway. Wonder what happened to that guy?

Do I need to rate this book? Nah, just read it!




Want to read more about Rodney? Scroll...

Rodney Lacroix is just one of those guys. He's one of those guys that make you say, "You know, I'm glad I'm not THAT guy."
THAT? That's Rodney Lacroix.
Rodney can stub his toe while brushing his teeth. He can get a flat tire while walking. Things, well, things just go WRONG for Rodney.
Rodney Lacroix has been writing about his misadventures for years. He's done stand-up comedy, emceed charity events and has hung out with many celebrities.
He's a computer technician by day, single father-of-2 by night, and always - always - has something funny to tell you about what happened that day.

Broken Truth by Beth Ashworth!!!



Title: Broken Truth
Author: Beth Ashworth
Genre: Contemporary Adult Romance
Publication Date: November 15th, 2013




Life for Charlotte (Charlie) Harris couldn’t be any better at this moment in time. She has her dream job, she has the extremely wealthy knight in shining armour and she has the best friends a girl could ever ask for. On paper, the beautiful world unfolding at her feet almost appears too good to be true for a working class girl from Manchester right?

But what happens when you gloss over the statistics and realise that the happy bubble you have been living in for the past fifteen months has all been a twisted, torturous path of lies? What if you realised that the person you loved wasn’t who they claimed to be any longer?

With the once sacred and happy memories now turned into hatred and despair, Charlie must now follow her instincts to either forget her past and move on or force the hand that holds the cards to her life to reshuffle the deck before it leads onto the twisted future that lies in store.

What will she choose?

Can she forgive and forget for the only man her heart has ever loved?

Sunny's Review:

At first I totally hated Charlie. I can't lie. I wanted to just yell at her for being dumb and was so annoyed with her. I didn't like Callum either because I thought he was a cheating jerk and I really hate cheaters. Don't get me wrong...they are so freaking hot together and if I was Charlie maybe I would have been dense, blind and dumb too. So once some of the truths come out I had to change my opinion of Charlie. She did stick to her guns and did not give him a chance to weasel his way back into her life. Now having said that...I did like a lot of the small twists and turns the plot took and how everything was not black and white.

I ended up really liking this book and I think you will too. Hopefully I did not put in any spoilers but I recommend you read this book. I am giving it a strong 4 out of 5 stars.




Beth Ashworth was born in Manchester in 1990, but shortly moved to the modest city of Coventry where she was raised and still resides now.

As a vivid reader from a very early age, Beth has always been keen to put her words onto paper. As a child she was always found with either a book in her hand, a pen and notepad or a computer games controller.

Starting off by initially writing alternate endings to her favourite Jacqueline Wilson books from around the age of ten, Beth has continued to grow and love her passion for books.

Eventually, after many unfinished books and short stories, she finally decided to follow her passion and write books that she hopes people will love.

When she isn't reading or writing, Beth loves to spend time with her husband and friends
