Sunny Shelly’s Review: When You Come Back To Me, by Emma Scott

From USA Today bestselling author comes the second book in the Lost Boys series of interconnected standalones. Holden and River’s emotional and heart-wrenching journey to love, redemption, and their happy ever after. 

When You Come Back To Me by Emma Scott is now live! 

At Santa Cruz Central High School, they called them the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos. But most of us knew them as the Lost Boys…

Holden Parish survived his parents’ horrific attempts to make him “the perfect son.” After a year’s stint in a Swiss sanitarium to recover, he has vowed to never let anything–or anyone–trap him again. Brilliant but broken, he seeks refuge behind alcohol, meaningless sex, and uses his wicked sense of humor to keep people away. He only has to ride out one year in the coastal town of Santa Cruz with his aunt and uncle before he inherits his billions and can make his escape. Disappear.

Falling in love is not in the plans.

River Whitmore. Star quarterback of the Central High football team, Prom King, Mr. Popular, ladies’ man. He leads the perfect life…except it’s all a lie. His father has River’s future in the NFL all planned out, while River’s dream is to run the family business in the town that he loves. But his mother’s illness is tearing the family apart and River is becoming the glue that holds them together. How can he break his father’s heart when it’s already shattering?

River’s carefully-crafted façade explodes when he meets Holden Parish. A guy who dresses in coats and scarves year-round, drinks expensive vodka, and spends his free time breaking into houses for the fun of it. They’re complete opposites. River seeks a quiet life, away from the spotlight. Holden would rather have dental surgery than settle down.

Holden’s demons and River’s responsibilities threaten to keep them apart, while their undeniable attraction crashes them together again and again, growing into something deep and real no matter how they resist.

Until one terrible night changes everything.

Lost Boys is a new series of interconnected, coming-of-age standalones from USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott, coming in 2020

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I was absolutely blown away by When You Come Back To Me. I was completely enthralled by whatever it was that was happening between River and Hunter in the snippets we got in The Girl In The Love Song (Lost Boys #1). But to read River and Hunter’s story in full… it was completely captivating. Emma Scott wrote a wonderful, magnificent story about self-loathing, self worth, never feeling like you are good enough, learning how to love yourself, and loving someone else when they don’t even like themselves.

The blurb for this book beautifully describes River and Hunter’s circumstances — but I had no idea the depth of pain that Hunter is walking around carrying. He is so aloof and almost too cool for school in GITLS, but getting to know him in When You Come Back To Me was like getting to know a different character altogether. As much as Hunter goes through a big character arc to get to a good place in life, so does River. He is drowning in the expectations that everyone has placed on him, mainly his father, and isn’t really happy at all until that one night with Hunter that changes everything. I so enjoyed watching both of these young men grow into themselves, battle their inner demons, and come out the other side together and get a HEA. The final scene of the epilogue, the two of them in the pool, gave me goosebumps. What a long way they came. Well done, Ms. Scott.

This book takes place in the same timeline as GITLS, so there are some of the same scenes now told from River and Hunter’s POVs. This book is a standalone, but there are some spoilers for GITLS so definitely read that one first if you plan on reading this whole series.

I am so torn up about that tease to Shiloh and Ronan’s story! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt

On the stage, Miller spoke into the mic in a low, almost shy voice. “Hey, my name is

Miller Stratton. I’m going to play a song by Coldplay. It’s called ‘Fix You.’”

I let my gaze slide to Holden, studying the contours of his profile—his chiseled jaw and

cheekbones, strong nose, full lips. He swallowed, and I watched the movement of his Adam’s

apple. Thoroughly masculine. Nothing feminine about it.

“Can I help you?” he whispered, eyes forward.

“It sucks not talking to you,” I said, as Miller strummed the first chords of the song. “I

don’t know why. You’re arrogant as fuck.”

“Fair. You’re a grilled cheese sandwich.”

I snorted. “A what?”

“Shh,” Holden said. “Listen. This is our song.”

Our song. Nothing was ours. There was no us. But Miller sang that if you never try you’ll

never know, and the words pierced me like arrows.

I took my hand out of my pocket and let it hang by my side again. Again, my skin

brushed Holden’s, sending shards of heat dancing up my arm while Miller sang about lights that

ignite your bones.

I looked at Holden and he looked at me.

Without letting myself think, I slipped my fingers around the side of his hand and slid my

palm against his. He gasped slightly—a small intake of breath only I heard in the darkened

auditorium. Then he let his hand settle into mine. Another heartbeat, and our fingers laced

together.

“And I will try,” Miller sang, his rich voice hovering in the air in that silent auditorium.

“To fix you.”

A short silence fell before the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers, unlike anything I’ve

ever heard. Miller’s version of the song was unlike anything I’d ever heard either, as if he were

singing directly to me. To us.

Because it’s our song.

Under the cover of applause, I let go of Holden’s hand and tugged the cuff of his coat.

“Let’s go.”

I left without looking back but heard Holden’s footfalls following. Warning bells clanged

in my head but were drowned in the thrashing beat of my heart that felt as it were trying to break

free of its prison like it had at the pool. Only this time I was stone cold sober. No excuses.

I pushed open the door next to the auditorium—the back area of the band room that was

for instrument storage. Huge basses loomed in dimness, and drums of all sizes and styles lined

the walls.

Holden followed me in and shut the door behind him. “Hello, friend.”

“I put in my college applications,” I said as he approached me in the darkness. “I’m going

away to Texas or maybe Alabama this summer.”

“Establishing the rules, are you?” he drawled, though his voice was thick and tinged with

nerves.

I swallowed hard. “Nothing’s changed. Nothing can change.”

“I told you,” Holden said, in front of me now. “I’ll never ask you for anything. I don’t

have anything to give. Except this.”

I wanted to tell him that wasn’t true, that I was the one who had nothing to offer. I

shouldn’t have led us here. I should walk out, but his goddamn voice, the scent of him, his

presence was overwhelming. My hands itched to touch him, to grab him and…

Kiss him?

My first kiss with a guy. It seemed as if I’d been waiting a lifetime for it and yet the

moment was rushing at me like a speeding train.

“Stop thinking, River,” Holden whispered. “We’re here. Right now.” He leaned in.

“What are you going to do?”

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Right Player, by Kandi Steiner

The Right Player: A Sports Romance by bestselling author Kandi Steiner is now live!

From bestselling author Kandi Steiner comes a sexy, hilarious, opposites-attract sports romance set in the lively city of Chicago…

I have a three date rule — but it’s not what you think.

See, I’ve been told I’m the “good time girl,” not the one you take home to Mom. And

while that label stung at first, I’ve since embraced it — living the wild and

free life and sticking to a three date max. That’s just enough time to have

some fun and snuff out the possibility of catching feelings. And it’s been

working for me for years… 

Until Makoa Kumaka.

Sadly, he also has a three date rule — and it’s the exact

opposite of mine. From the second I meet him, all I can think about is

stripping down that six-foot-five Herculean hunk of a man. But like the

gentleman I wish he wasn’t, he’s making me wait.

The more time we spend together, the more I feel those pesky emotions creeping in.

I’m even tempted to trust him, but blame it on my past or my instincts, I can’t

shake the feeling that he’s hiding something… 

I’ve been playing the game forever, and no man has ever won my heart — which meant

they never had the power to break it.

But maybe I just hadn’t met the right player.

Maybe I’ll wish I never did.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

A lie will always come back to bite you in the butt, but what if you are lying for a good reason? Mak has always been the friend-zoned guy who really just wants to be in a relationship and treat his lady like a queen. Belle has been burned so many times in the past, she’s enforced a three-dates-and-done rule. But when Mak proves to be the guy she never expected, she takes a chance on jumping into something more. Except she has no idea that he’s lying about who he really is…

I so loved Mak and Belle in The Right Player. (She’s Gemma’s best friend from The Wrong Game, so there is lists of support from Gemma and Zach in this book! Yay!) Mak moves to Chicago to start a new chapter with the Bears, and along with that comes a perfect chance to have his interior designer get to know him as Mak, not a football player. Their story is so sweet, and Mak is pretty much the perfect boyfriend as he works to get Belle to fall in love with him — so she won’t care that he’s a football star who lied to her about his identity. The best laid plans…

There were some really nice, honest, raw moments between Mak and Belle as they divulge all their insecurities to one another, and it really made me feel that these two hurt souls were meant to be each other’s healing. From start to end, The Right Player was pretty perfect. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

 Meet Kandi

Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Stones Unturned, by Taylor Danae Colbert

Release Date: September 29
 
“We choose family, always.”

As the only child of Georgia’s leading tech mogul, that motto has been our way of life for as long as I can remember.

 
I’ve been groomed and primed to take over his role since I was fifteen. 
 
Ever the dutiful daughter, I’ve done everything to stick to the plan, even if the plan was never what I actually wanted.
But people lie. Stories change. Entire family histories are rewritten.
When tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome Derrick Thomas shows up with a photograph that shatters my world, I find myself following him 700 miles north to Meade Lake—the one place that might help me find answers.
Drowning in lies, I cling to Derrick’s every word, desperate for the truth. And somewhere along the way, I end up clinging to him, too.
Suddenly, I feel a change in the wind, a crack in all those concrete plans that were laid for me ever so carefully.
“We choose family, always.” 
But after I find out what they’ve done, I realize that family isn’t always flesh and blood. Sometimes, family can be strangers. Sometimes, strangers can be family.
I just have to choose which one I want to call mine.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Taylor Danae Colbert is a relatively new-to-me author — I’d only read Back To Shore (Meade Lake #1) before, and I was so glad that I followed up with Stones Unturned, the next in the series. Her writing is absolutely enchanting, and she creates a magical world with these characters. It isn’t all happy-go-lucky; these characters go through some major things in this story, but it is all beautifully crafted.

Kaylee doesn’t know Derrick all that well, but agrees to go to Meade Lake with him anyway. But she has no idea how her world will shatter once she gets there. Years of secrets and lies unravel, and everything Kaylee thought she knew about her life and parents turns out to be a big lie. As she questions everything that she thought she knew, Derrick is right there by her side, offering Kaylee a support she never knew she needed.

There is a wonderful connection between these characters, and a slow burn to their romance that had me cheering them on and waiting for them to get together. I love this little lakeside town and the people I’ve met, and can’t wait to see what else comes in this series!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Drew, by Amanda Shelley

 
 
 



Release Date: September 29

My heart races, palms sweat, and knees go weak. 
 
I’ve never seen anyone like Drew in a science lab. He’s made me a firm believer in chemistry existing outside a textbook.
 
Then his ego shows up.
 
Nope. No, thank you. Moving on. I mean… who has an entourage in college?
 
When our professor announces we’ll be stuck as lab partners, I nearly lose my mind – and not in a good way. 
 
I can’t afford the type of distractions Drew brings.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The nice guy gets the girl in this charming YA romance! You can’t judge a book by its cover…

While Drew is a popular athlete, he’s also a super smart student. He’s determined to become a pediatric oncologist, in honor of his sister who died from cancer. He kind of seeks Abby out as a lab partner because she looks studious and serious — but Abby wonders what this jock could potentially have to offer her as a lab partner.

Little by little, they build up a friendship since neither of them are looking for anything more. But the attraction is simmering and eventually boils over. Despite his intentions to not get involved, Drew can’t help but want more and more of Abby as he gets to know her.

This story is charming and sweet. It’s pretty low-angst, but there are a lot of ups and downs as Abby and Drew navigate the waters of first love and what a college romance means for their professional futures.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Falling Into You is the 3rd book in AL Jackson’s Falling series. There is plenty of crossover of characters, and throwbacks to the other books. Even though I have not read the others in this series, this book reads as a standalone.

Richard and Violet’s story is full of secrets and deception, small-town romance and lots of heartbreak. It’s about the one that got away, the one you are never able to let go of, the one who forever has imprinted on your heart. Unfortunate circumstances ripped these two apart years ago, but they have belonged to each other for a very long time and neither one of them has been able to move on. Richard is now in one of the world’s most popular rock bands, while Violet is still living in their small hometown. But will the past prevent them from having a future? Are their lives too far apart now?

If you want a second-chance romance full of angst but with lots of heart, check this out today! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Perfect Wreckage, by Catherine Cowles

“Catherine Cowles writes characters that are real, relatable, and will have you rooting for their happily-ever-after with all your heart!”
– Mia Sheridan, New York Times bestselling author

Perfect Wreckage, an all-new, breathtakingly beautiful small-town romance from Catherine Cowles is available now!

My past taught me to play it safe.
To stay far away from handsome men who promised it all.
My life was good without them. Stable, secure, predictable.

But one kiss showed me that I’d been playing it safe for far too long.
One night, and all I wanted was more of his wildfire.
One challenge and my carefully constructed walls tumbled down.

Amidst the rubble, I realized there was more to this man than I ever dreamed.
When everything fell apart, he showed me what it meant to stay.
How to truly live.

But some demons don’t stay buried.
The past can come knocking when you least expect.
And the life he’s showing me might be shorter than either of us expected…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Perfect Wreckage is another fantastic emotional standalone in Catherine Cowles’ Wrecked series. Poor Kenna’s story is so heartbreaking, but she’s got an amazing support system in her friends and in Crosby who lift her up when she’s feeling so very alone.

Crosby is a adventure-seeking lawyer not looking for commitment. Kenna is a play-it-straight accountant, so determined to never again veer off course and be left looking like a fool or have the town think she’s just like her alcoholic mom who’d abandoned her. When Kenna’s foster mom of sorts dies and leaves her a large estate, Kenna has to face the demons of her past in the form of her egomaniac HS boyfriend and his hoity toity parents, who are contesting the will. As Crosby defends Kenna in the case, he gets her to loosen up and learn that it’s okay to let go — even when her life seems to be a wreck, there are people around her who will catch her when she falls.

I really enjoyed this story. There was a great subplot with a foster child, Zoe, and that really echoed Kenna’s own childhood, at the same time giving a nice depth to Crosby’s background — he was once a corporate lawyer and now he’s working on a small island on cases that truly make a difference in peoples’ lives.

These characters are so well written, and I love the small-town feel that this book gives off, just like the first one. There is some OW drama when Crosby’s ex resurfaces, and a big part of the story is Kenna having to face her ex-boyfriend and come to terms with how that breakup affected her and impacted her life. But as for Crosby and Kenna, it’s a nice evolution from friends to friends with benefits to something much, much more. There’s not a lot of push and pull between them, and he really is by her side every step of the way, first as a friend and then as a boyfriend. The bond between girlfriends Bell, Kenna and Caelyn is explored further as well, and I love how these three have each other’s backs no matter what.

Perfect Wreckage is emotional, heartfelt and wonderful! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

This collection of steamy novellas is an amazing anthology. There is something in here for everyone, no matter what trope you love. M/M, single parent, student/teacher, surprise baby, second-chance romance… This has it all! Some of my thoughts:

Mr.Klein Is Fine by Meghan Quinn
I’ve been a fan of MQ’s baseball series since the beginning, so I knew who Lindsay was and have been curious about who her babydaddy is. This second-chance romance with Lindsay and Gunner is short and sweet and to the point, but it’s packed with all the emotions and a swoony ending that left me wanting more!.

Falling At First Sight by Willow Winters
What a sweet single parents story! Trent and Autumn are adorable together as this novella explores their tentative first steps in dating. Absolutely adorable!

The Painter by Amelia Wilde
If you like student/ teacher romances, this forbidden tale between a painter and his protoge is HOT.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Not Just Friends, by T. Gephart


 Not Just Friends By T. Gephart is AVAILABLE NOW!!

A little harmless flirting never hurt anyone. Unless you cross the line and have a one-night stand with your best friend’s sister. And if that didn’t complicate things enough her crazy ex-boyfriend is stalking her as well. Should have stayed just friends, but it’s probably a little late for that now.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Not Just Friends is another fun book in T. Gephart’s Hot In The City firefighers series. This time around, we get Leighton (Jared), who falls for Presley, the little sister of his best friend, Tibbs. The book opens after a one-night stand between Jared and Presley, who have been friends for quite a while since he’s friends with her brother. While Tibbs is very protective, Presley is a no-BS kind of gal, successfully running one of NY’s hottest clubs. But she has a stalker psycho ex, so there’s that.

I really enjoyed the evolution of Presley and Jared’s relationship. It started out as a friends with benefits hookup, since neither of them really wanted more at first — especially with the other. But there is a nice development to their falling for one another, and kind of not wanting to admit it to themselves or the other. Or to her brother, for that matter.

This is a standalone with crossover characters from the previous books in the series. The drama with Presley’s ex began in Mack’s book, and it all comes to a head in Not Just Friends. You don’t need to read the previous books, but they are equally entertaining!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Blurb:
As a romance novelist, I’m facing my worst nightmare—writer’s block.
No matter what I write, I hit delete, knowing it’s not worth publishing. The future of my career rests on the success of this new book.
So, here I am, looking at Tumblr, desperate for inspiration, when I hear a thumping. Annoyed by the music blaring through the walls, I barge into the hall and bang on my neighbor’s door.
My very hot, very naughty neighbor, Jake Morreau.
Jake is romantic, charming, and the bane of my existence. I need to work, yet he refuses to let me.
When he greets me in the hallway, ideas of a sinfully hot hero come to mind.
When he takes me out on the town, the words flow as soon as I come home.
The more time I spend with this entertaining and quick-witted man, the more I’m able to write.
My neighbor is my muse, and before I know it, I slowly become the heroine of my own story, but I don’t know how to end it.
As I write the epilogue, I’m afraid our romance won’t pan out as I’ve written.
Jake Morreau is my hero.
Then again, in my life, heroes don’t exist.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Naughty Neighbor is so sweet! This may be my favorite collab from these authors yet.

Romance writer Lacey has writer’s block, and finds her muse in her hunky next door neighbor, Jake. I have read this trope before, but what I liked about Naughty Neighbor is that Jake knows that Lacey is using him for inspiration. She’s been burned in the past and has some abandonment issues, so Lacey thinks that love isn’t in the cares for her. But Jake is sweet and sexy, makes her feel desirable and come out of her shell.

So when The Conflict comes, it’s not because Jake feels betrayed that she used their relationship for her book, but that he’s fallen head over heels for her… and she can’t let herself or won’t let herself feel the same in return. Will Lacey realize just how different Jake is before it is too late?

This story was so fun. I loved these two, and all of their cute dates. Starting as friends, slowly becoming more… it was all wonderful to read.

I wish there had been more than just the one chapter from Jake’s POV because I really loved getting inside his head during the breakup, and I would have loved to have gotten to see more of his side as he was falling for Lacey.

The way Lacey’s book comes into play in their makeup, and then her previous books in that epilogue, was brilliant! I will definitely keep this on my reread list! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Shaken, by Charity Ferrell

🔥🔥 HOT NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

Shaken from Charity Ferrell is LIVE! You don’t want to miss this enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend romance. #One-click today!

BOOK BLURB

A see yourself out note isn’t how you want to celebrate the morning after your first one- night stand.

The first time I meet Archer Callahan is when I block him in a parking spot.

The second is a fender bender.

The third is at a bar, drinking away our problems, and finding our way to his bed.

I never expected to see him again.

That changes when a month later, he’s introduced as my brother’s new business partner.

In need of a job, I’m hired at their bar, much to Archer’s dismay.

We hate each other.

We’re off limits.

But every time we’re together, flashbacks of that night shake through us.

We push, we pull, until one of us breaks.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

When I read Stirred (Twisted Fox #1), I was completely taken with Archer and Georgia and their constant bickering. I knew there HAD to be a story behind their hatefest and I am so glad that Charity did not make us wait to get their book!

Shaken spans several years, and Archer and Georgia actually have several awkward encounters and a one-night stand that ended in disaster years before they even make the connection that his business partner, Cohen, is her brother.

As much as Archer is smitten with Georgia, wants to be in her light, he’s a broken man carrying around a ton of guilt and grief on his shoulders and doesn’t want his darkness to dim her sparkle. So instead of trying to make something work between them, he pushes her away at every opportunity. But when he gives Georgia glimpses of the man he is underneath the hurt and facade, she sees something great in him. Granted, I wanted to smack Archer more than once for acting like a jealous boyfriend when he was making no moves to be Georgia’s boyfriend himself. The guy gave me serious whiplash. But every time that push and pull happens, Archer revealed a little more of his true self, and it kept me wanting to see more and find out what his big secret is. It isn’t a quick and easy road for Archer and Georgia to get to their happy ending, but it was well worth the wait!

Shaken is a perfect slow-burn book with a tortured hero, a spitfire heroine who doesn’t give up on him, and a fantastic group of friends. I can’t wait for more in this series with the other couples!! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
