Sunny Shelly’s Review: Resist, by K. Bromberg

Resist - BT banner

A sexy, emotional roller coaster ride with explosive chemistry between a powerhouse couple. I was hooked from the first page!”– J.T. Geissinger, author

Resist, the first in an all-new irresistible duet by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg is available now!

!!Resist cover

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Driven series comes a powerful romance about reaching great heights through low depths.

Who says you have to play by the rules to get what you want?

Agreeing to meet Ryker Lockhart is my first mistake. Rich, handsome, and more than intriguing, he thinks blackmail will bend me to his will.

But he’s wrong.

I may have done a few things that weren’t exactly legal, but I have my own reasons for that. The last thing I’m going to do is let some high-powered divorce attorney come into my life, have my body, and rule my heart. Not to mention ruin everything that I have carefully built in just a short amount of time.

But as much as I try to resist him, and against my better judgment, there is something about him that has me agreeing to his proposal.

I’m putting everything on the line for him. I just hope I won’t lose everything when this is all over.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Just try to resist this enemies to lovers story, I dare you! Ryker and Vaughan are two powerhouses, and together they are explosive!

He’s a man of many secrets. She’s a desperate woman needing to fiercely protect something. There is an intense push and pull between them as they fight their feelings (and each other).

This book is darker than the other Kristy Bromberg books I’ve read, and I was completely captivated. Then I got to that cliffhanger ending and I needed to throw my kindle! Major book hangover and I’m in need of the conclusion!!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

 

Teaser-04-notyoursfix-availnow

Excerpt:

“It won’t be as easy as you think to walk away from the high life. Money is a powerful thing. Once you have it, it’s hard as hell to live without, Vaughn.”

I start to protest but then realize he doesn’t get it. He knows how much he is paying me. He sees the expensive clothes and jewelry I have on but has no clue they are from thrift stores and pawnshops.

“I’ll walk away.”

The chuckle he emits scrapes over my nerves and irritates them. “No, you won’t. You’re addicted to the power of it. Of knowing you can bring a man to his knees. Of the ability to use your body to get exactly what you want.”

“You don’t know a thing about me.”

But the ghost of a smirk that plays at the corner of his mouth makes me fear he just might. “You don’t have to be embarrassed by it, Vaughn. I get off on the same type of power when I’m in court. It’s a high. Something once you have a taste of, you only seem to want more of.”

“Don’t paint your experience on my canvas,” I murmur.

“Here we are,” he says, pulling my attention to our surroundings instead of to him. We’re standing outside the entrance to The Club, and every part of me deflates a little at the thought of having to go back inside with him.

Of having to play more of the part, when this, me getting to be a little more of myself, has been so unexpected and nice.

“Here we are,” I repeat.

We stare at each other, the shadows of the night playing over his face and reminding me I barely know this man and that I do, in fact, want to know him more.

“I’d be more than happy to drive you home—”

“But—”

He puts a finger to my lips. “But that’s too personal.” He steps into me so that we’re both in the shadows now on the broad sidewalk.

“It’s too personal,” I agree as I draw in the scent of him, the feel of his palms as they run up and down my arms. And for the briefest of moments I forget what I’m doing here and that he’s paid me for it because all I can think about is him kissing me. All I want is him to.

“Why don’t we go—”

His lips close ever so slowly over mine so that I have no choice but to sink into the kiss. A kiss that’s soft and tender when every other one we’ve shared thus far has been raging with a lascivious desire.

But not this one.

My body heats up nerve by nerve. Muscle by muscle. Sensation by sensation.

Until he leans back so his forehead rests against mine and we breathe in the same air.

“Good night, Vaughn.”

What?

My head snaps up as Ryker takes a step back, regret owning every part of his expression, including the desire warring in his eyes.

“I don’t understand.” Flummoxed, I stand where I am and just watch him as he takes another step back and points to the taxi pulled up to the curb at my back.

“Your cab is here.” His smile is pained.

“But . . .”

He lifts a hand in silent goodbye before he turns the corner, leaving me staring after him as the taxi driver ushers me into the cab.

Tears sting my eyes as he pulls away from the curb.

Ryker just gave me exactly what I asked for—no sex—and yet every part of me is confused by it.

Because I want him.

And now I’m not exactly sure what I’m supposed to do about it.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Guy On The Right, by Kate Stewart



We’re celebrating the release of The Guy on the Right by Kate Stewart! Fall in love with Theo and Laney today!


Contemporary Romance/Romantic Dramedy
Stand Alone

Designer: Q Design

Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2LyFdTR

Paperback: https://amzn.to/2SFt3dc

Blurb:

Strike One-My mother named me Theodore after her favorite chipmunk.

Not cool, Mom.

I‘ve spent most of my life answering to Teddy, because I couldn’t make Theo work.

Except for here. College. The place where all bets are off, and I’ve managed to redeem myself.

There’s only one problem, my new roommate, Troy, is football royalty and looks like he stepped off the set of an Abercrombie shoot.

Doesn’t matter, I cook a mean breakfast for his panty parade, and we get along well.

And anyway, this year I got the girl. And she’s perfect.

That’s right. Theodore Houseman, former band geek, now marching band rock star has finally landed the girl of his dreams.

Everything is perfect.

That is, until Troy takes a good look at her.

I’m not going down without a fight. As a matter of fact, I’m not going down at all. As glorious as these days may be for my all-star roommate, Laney is my end game.

I may not know much about play strategy, but I’ve been the good guy my whole life. I’ve been listening and I know exactly what women want. Framed in a picture standing next to me, Troy may seem like Mr. Perfect, but he’s underestimating the guy on the right.

Spoiler alert: In this story, the underdog is going to win.

I love it when the underdog wins! Theo may be a band geek, but he’s all kinds of sexy in The Guy On The Right. He’s nursing a broken heart when he first meets Laney, and is on a dating sabbatical. They literally meet as she’s dumping her boyfriend over the phone, and she wants nothing to do with guys any more. When the universe keeps putting Laney and Theo into one another’s paths, they realize that they are meant to be friends.

This relationship starts out on the best friendship. I loved the joking nature between the two of them, especially their Instagram antics. And when they do realize that they have feelings for one another, it’s incredibly sweet and a SLOW BURN before they get together.

But Laney and Theo are each battling some demons, and there comes a point in their relationship where those demons tear them apart. Is Theo willing to trust that to someone he is more than just the guy on the right? Is free-spirited, gypsy hearted Laney willing to risk her heart and stay in one place?

This was a wonderful story full of all the feels I’ve come to expect from a Kate Stewart book. Go out and live your best life like Theo and Laney! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Simply Irresistible, by Jennifer L. Allen

 
 
Title: Simply Irresistible
Author: Jennifer L. Allen



AMAZON

 
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 
 
 
Melanie: I can’t even believe I didn’t make eye contact with the guy on the elevator. I’d seen him before in my office building and he was totally awesome to look at. From what I could tell by the way his suit clung to him, he had a hot bod, too. Another missed opportunity! I’m so lame. Next time, I’ll see if he wants to do lunch. I wonder if he listens to 80s music when he works out, because he has got to work out.
 
Tyler: Dude, that chick in the elevator was mad fine. My sister may think I’m not capable of keeping a relationship going, but she bugg’n. I’m gonna show the girl with the big green eyes that I’m all that and a bag of chips. Next time I see her, I’m gonna hit her up for sure. I wonder how she feels about watching 90s TV reruns on Friday nights? TGIF!
 
Melanie and Tyler may be decades apart, but working for the same publishing company brings the irresistible pair together. The ambitious duo is filled with dreams that don’t include being executive assistants for the rest of their lives. Somewhere between the laughter and arguing over which decade brought the better entertainment and fads, they fall in love.
 
Tension mounts as the pressure and excitement of new opportunities increases and their dreams get closer to becoming a reality … but what happens when one of their dreams doesn’t come true?



Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Sweet Stars

The only other book I’ve previously read by Jennifer L. Allen was Say Something — it was dark, intense, emotional and gritty. On the flip side, Simply Irresistible is simply sweet, funny, lighthearted. Melanie and Tyler are all kinds of flirty fun, and I loved all the ’80s and ’90s references sprinkled throughout this book. They start off with a genuine friendship and build their relationship from there. They are a great support for one another throughout the story, and even though they hit a few road blocks, Tyler and Melanie find a HEA that is just as sweet as the title of this book.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: More Than Just A Name by Lynn Jaxon

Title: More Than Just a Name
Author: Lynn Jaxon
Series: All for You
Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

Meredith~

I wasted eight years of my life on a marriage that was doomed from the start. My ex-husband only married me for my family name and money. Now that the divorce is final, I’m ready to move on focusing on providing a happy life for our son. When my friends insisted they take me out to celebrate my new found freedom, I reluctantly agreed.

I should have asked where we were going. I never imagined we’d end up in a male strip club. I was ready to leave before we walked through the doors. That is until I locked eyes with a masked dancer. His green eyes bored into me, owning me with just one look. Then when our hands touched, he made me feel things I’d never felt, and want things I’d never dared to dream.

Just when my dream seemed like it was coming true, my worst nightmare became my reality. My divorce was just a useless piece of paper, and I’m afraid that not even love will be able to save me.

Nash~

I can’t believe I’m doing this. Never did I ever think that this would be me. I’m an elementary school assistant principal, not a male dancer. I have to keep reminding myself that I’m doing this for my brother. I’m helping him keep his job.

That’s the only thing that’s getting me through this night. That is until I lock eyes with the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Long blonde hair, expressive blue eyes, and a body that would bring any man to his knees. Going into it I never thought this night would change my life and hers so profoundly.

I have my work cut out for me. There is more than just our love at stake. I’ll put everything on the line to save her, and convince her that she’s more than just a name.

The day I found out I was pregnant should have been one of the happiest days of my life…until I went to surprise Frankie at work and found him banging his secretary on his desk. I should’ve asked for a divorce right then and there.

“Mrs. Find, you can’t go in there right now!” exclaims one of Frankie’s partners.

“It’s okay, Roscoe. He’ll forgive me once he finds out why I’m here.”

Smile on my face, I burst through the door…almost falling to my knees. Frankie has his secretary bent over his desk, pounding into her from behind. I hear him gasp as I spin and slam the door, running back down the hall and pushing the elevator button, thankful when the doors open.

I hear Frankie running down the hall toward me, still buckling his pants. “Baby, wait! I can explain!”

I stop the elevator doors just before they close. “I don’t want to hear a thing you have to say. Don’t come home tonight. I don’t want to see your cheating face.” With that, the doors slide shut.

For months afterward, Frankie put on quite a show. He acted like he was ecstatic about being a father, doing everything in his power to convince me he would never cheat on me again. Thinking of our unborn child, I gave him another chance.

He was only able to keep it in his pants for a few months. The next time I found out about him cheating, I was seven months pregnant. Of course, he had me believing it was my fault because I was fat.

I’m determined to stick to my guns this time. There is no way I’ll let him weasel his way out of this divorce. No matter what, I’m going to stand strong for Gage.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

More Than Just A Name is a saccharine-sweet instalove story between a single mom and the assistant principal at her young son’s school. Of course, Meredith and Nash don’t KNOW that they have that connection when they first meet while he’s dancing at a male revue club. Just filling in for his sick brother, natch. And she’s celebrating her divorce. There’s an instant connection just between their eyes (he’s wearing a mask!) and numbers are exchanged. Casino heiress Meredith is hesitant to do anything however, as she’s just coming off of a bad marriage where she was pretty much used for her family’s status and wealth.

Okay. I was kind of wary about that set-up, but I liked the characters enough to get over my thoughts of “What is she thinking?” Nash was a sweetheart, and really would do anything for Meredith and Gage. Like keep her dirtbag ex-husband far, far away from them. As sweet as their romance is (not clean, though! There are some sexy times!), there is also a bunch of drama thanks to her ex, and Nash gets to play White Knight in a spectacular way. And prove to Meredith that she’s more than just her well-known last name.

If you want an easy poolside read, definitely check this out. I read it in an afternoon, around parenting duties. It’s a light and easy read, not too deep, with just the right amount of drama. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: One Short Summer, by Jasmin Miller

 

Title: One Short Summer

Series: Brooksville #2

Author: Jasmin Miller
Genre: Sweet Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 31, 2019

 

Blurb
A sweet, flirty, and heartfelt romance with two roommates
that spend one enthralling summer together.
After her car accident, Monica believes her dance career is
over, despite the positive outlook everyone else has. Instead of trying to get
back on her feet, she works on perfecting the art of couch surfing.
Famous author, Gabe Mitchell, doesn’t fare much better. On
top of watching his roommate letting her life pass by, he also suffers from a
major bout of writer’s block.
Hoping a change of scenery will get them both out of their
rut, Gabe takes matters into his own hands and whisks Monica away to his own
personal haven.
What neither one of them expects is the attraction to each
other to bloom even though Monica will leave Brooksville in a matter of weeks.
Their time together is filled with skimpy bathing suits,
sexy fantasy book inspirations, hot tub make-out sessions, and new job
prospects.
It’s plenty to reignite their creative flames, but will it
be enough to turn their one short summer into something more?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

In One Short Summer, everything changes for roommates Gabe and Monica! This book was super sweet and easy to read. There’s not a lot of drama, but a ton of chemistry, attraction and I-don’t-want-to-get-involved in this story!

I really liked how Gabe pushed Monica to get out of her funk. She’d felt like she’d lost everything important in her life after a career-ending accident, but as the summer goes on, she learns that she’s gained so much more. These two are absolutely adorable together!

This book is a standalone in Jasmin Miller’s Brooksville series, but Gabe and Monica are characters who previously appeared in #1, the equally-adorable Baking With A Rock Star. (He is Hudson’s brother, and she is Charlie’s best friend.) I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
Pulling out the barstool beside her, I sit down, wanting to
be on her eye level. It takes me bumping my knees into hers for her to look at
me, but at least she finally does. “Hey! Remember it’s me you’re talking to.
We’ve been sharing a house for most of the last year. That’s pretty much as
close as anyone has ever been to me, not that I would do this for just anyone.
You’re a very sweet, kind, caring, and talented person. You need to get it in
your pretty head that you don’t owe me a thing. I’d do it all over again in a
heartbeat.”
My words don’t exactly trigger the response I intended as I
watch the pink tinge travel up Monica’s neck and cheeks before she covers her
face with her hands. “Oh gosh. Stop it already. I can’t remember the last time
I blushed. How embarrassing.”
Flabbergasted.
I’m absolutely stunned she’s reacting this way.
It’s also interesting she can still surprise me after we’ve
known each other all this time.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Until December, by Aurora Rose Reynolds

 

 

Title: Until December

Series: Until Her #5

Author: Aurora Rose Reynolds
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 30, 2019

 

Blurb
Gareth Black is drawn to December Mayson the moment he spots her across
the room at her cousin’s wedding. When he approaches the beautiful woman, she
captivates him with her shyness and wit, making him crave her.
With a pull so strong it’s impossible to ignore, December knows there’s
something between her and Gareth. She just hopes they’re capable of jumping the
hurdles ahead of them.
Two boys, an ex, a surprise that will change everything, and a
disgruntled co-worker, guarantee these two will have their work cut out for
them if they are going to find their happily ever after.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Until December is the first ARR book I’ve read, so it’s also the first in her Until Her/Until Him series that I’ve read. December and Gareth are all kinds of swoony. He’s the perfect alpha male, a strong believer in loyalty and family. Their story is a slow burn that will have you on the edge of your seat waiting for the moment that they give in to their attraction.

Plus, who wouldn’t fall for a hot, single dad?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Perky, by Julia Kent

 

Title: Perky
Author: Julia Kent
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: July 30, 2019

 

Blurb
AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT
One hundred years ago when I was young and impulsive (okay, it was five,
alright? Five years ago…) I let my boyfriend take, let’s just say…
compromising pictures of me.
(Shut up. It made sense at the time).
Surprise! The sleazy back-stabbing jerk posted them on a website and,
well, you can guess what happened. That’s right.
I’m a meme. A really gross one.
You’ve seen the pictures. And if you haven’t – don’t ask. And don’t look!
As face recognition software online improves, I get tagged on social
media whenever anyone shares my pictures. You try getting a thousand
notifications a day, all of them pictures of your tatas.
So. I’m done.
It’s time for revenge. Let him see how it feels! But how do you get
embarrassingly intimate pictures of your jerkface ex who double-crossed you
five years ago?
Especially when he’s a member of the U.S.House of Representatives now?
Getting sweet between the sheets with a congressman is pretty much every
political roadie’s dream, right? I’m one in a crowd.
Except to this day, he swears he didn’t do it. Pursued me for months
after I dumped him five years ago. Begged me to take him back.
And I almost did it. Almost. I was weak and stupid and in love a hundred
years ago.
Okay. Fine. Five.
But I still have the upper hand. Second chance romance has all the
emotional feels, doesn’t it?
I can’t wait to punch him in the feels.
All I need to do is sleep with him once, take some hot-and-sweaty pics of
him in… delicate positions, and bring him down. That’s it. Nothing more.
Pictures first. Revenge after. And then I win.
At least, that’s how it was supposed to happen. But then I did something
worse than sexting.
I fell in love with him. Again.

PAPERBACK

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars


A second-chance romance about revenge sex? Brilliant! I was looking forward to Perky and Parker’s story after getting that tease at the end of Fluffy, and it did not disappoint!

It’s been five years since Perky’s ex posted a sexy pic of her that was never meant to see the light of day. It broke her heart, left her humiliated and betrayed and she’s never gotten past it. So imagine her surprise when one of the groomsmen in her pal Mallory’s wedding, Skip, turns out to be her ex-boyfriend!

Parker is insistent that he was not responsible. While Perky goes back and forth with whether or not to believe him, she ultimately decides that a revenge sex video is just the thing to help her feel better. But when she realizes that she’s still in love with Parker, will Perky call off her plan before it’s too late?

The culprit behind the video was predictable, but nevertheless it was a helluva funny ride. Parker never gave up when it came to getting Persophene to believe him, and there’s a lovely payoff for this couple. And…. The antics amongst this trio of friends is hysterical. I loved seeing more of Mallory and Will and hope that Fiona’s book is just as good…. but I’m sure it will be!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Falter, by Carrie Aarons

 

falterad2.jpg

FALTER (Nash Brothers, Book 4)

Ryan Shea has sworn off men.

After her last relationship imploded in front of her eyes, she decides to take a break from swimming in the dating pool … possibly forever. The brilliant computer whiz loses her brain when it comes to love, and jumping feet first burns her every time.

Without a home, or much of a clue where life is headed, taking a trip back to the small town of Fawn Hill to stay with her best friend seems like the only option.

Except it puts Ryan directly in the path of the one man she can’t fall for. Fletcher Nash reminds her too much of the dark past she’s always run from; his demons are the things of her nightmares. And it’s no help that, when he looks at her, she feels as if Fletcher is the one person who truly understands.

Fletcher Nash vowed not to fall in lust.

Five years of sobriety, and he hasn’t broken the chastity promise yet. Not that it had to keep for this long … he’s well over the normal year addicts are told not to get involved.

But, aside from a busy schedule and trying to chase his dream of becoming a full-time artist, he has no intentions of committing to a woman until she is the one.

Why is it, then, that sassy, city girl Ryan Shea comes dangerously close to resembling the exact woman he could break that promise for? Like sand through his fingers, there is no way she’ll stay put … but his heart just won’t listen.

They pledged not to love anyone until it was the real thing.
So what happens when two people terrified of falling head-over-heels, actually do?

Falter_Amazon.jpg

Falter is available for a special release day price of $2.99! The book will increase to $3.99 the day after release.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I really don’t want to write this review, because then that means that The Nash Brothers Series is done. And I don’t want it to be done!

In Falter, we finally get youngest brother Fletcher’s story. It’s set a few years after Fleeting, so at the same time that we get Fletcher and Ryan’s romance, there are updates on Keaton/Presley, Bowen/Lily and Forrest/Penelope.

 

falterteaser5
Each brother in this series had their own demons to battle. As a recovering alcoholic, Fletcher’s story is a bit more intense than the others have been. I loved how perfectly matched he and Ryan are — two sides of the same coin. She grew up in the foster system after being abandoned by her addict mother, and those scars ran deep for her. She’s never really trusted anyone as a result, and bounced from relationship to relationship looking for someone to love her unconditionally. Fletcher is five years sober, and with no recollection of his sexual history while he was drinking, he’s taken being celibate to a whole new level as he struggles every day to not drink. But there is an intense connection between the two of them, and eventually, the girl who’s sworn off men and the guy who’s sworn off women find themselves unable to stay away from the other.

Carrie Aarons does a great job of working their mutual demons into this story, and how each of their struggles and backgrounds affects their current relationship. Will Ryan always be second-guessing Fletcher? Will Fletch ever find someone who can accept him for who he is and how he must now live his life? It’s a wonderful exploration, complete with a breakup that neither of them really wants an an awesome grand gesture on Fletcher’s part to win Ryan back.

I loved that the epilogue was set years in the future, so that there’s not just a HEA for Fletcher and Ryan, but we get a glimpse at how the rest of the Nash brothers are doing too. I’ve adored this series. Each book is a standalone, but these brothers and the girlfriends they are married to are pretty freaking awesome, so you should just read them all!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Piece Of My Heart, by Nicole Jacquelyn

67619117_10157379992307298_1764195238882050048_n.jpg
From the author of Unbreak My Heart comes a heart-wrenching story about a young married couple’s struggle to find their way back to each other after an unbearable loss threatens to tear them apart. Nicole Jacquelyn delivers a novel that will break your heart…in all the best ways.
Alex Evans is cool. Collected. Charismatic as hell. But when he meets Sarai Levy, all that chill goes right out the door. An Israeli graduate student, Sarai’s far too busy with school to date. But she gives Alex a chance anyway, and after a few whirlwind months, they’re getting married. They’ve heard all the reasons why it’s too soon, but Alex and Sarai are madly in love and determined to make it work . . . until a devastating tragedy strikes and their perfect world comes crashing down.
Sarai, who always has a plan, suddenly has no blueprint for handling a staggering loss. As she pulls away from Alex and withdraws from her life, he’s struggling to be the man she needs. Their relationship is fraying at the seams, and if Alex and Sarai don’t find a way to trust each other with their most painful truths, their heartache could shatter their fairytale romance.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Piece Of My Heart is a drama-filled romance that will make you cry, but make you smile at the end. It’s love at first sight for Alex, but Sarai makes him work for it, and things don’t come easy for them.

They love each other immensely, but the relationship puts Sarai at odds with her aunt and uncle (who raised her) since Alex is not Jewish. A tragic event puts another wedge in their relationship as regret, blame and depression takes hold. Ultimately, Alex and Sarai are able to work their way back to one another, but it’s a long and winding road.

Unbreak My Heart (Fostering Live #1) is one of my favorite books, a story that I reread often. I haven’t read the others in this series yet, but the bar was set pretty high for Alex and Sarai. While I didn’t absolutely love it the way that I did Unbreak, it is still a fantastic story with rich characters, real-life situations and the hard work it takes to make a marriage work. And I loved getting to catch up with the other family members.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: It’s Not Over, by Kaylee Ryan & Lacey Black

 

Title: It’s Not Over
Authors: Kaylee Ryan & Lacey Black
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 23, 2019

 

Blurb
GwenLately, life definitely isn’t how I envisioned it. I had it all. The house, the
job, the husband. Until one day, I didn’t. I don’t know when exactly things
started to change between us, only that it did, and in a big way. So much so, I
found myself standing before a judge and signing off on the end of my marriage.
To the only man, I’ve ever loved.

Now, he’s back, fighting, and ready to prove to me that we made a mistake, that
our love is worth giving this another chance. I’m not sure if he’s right, but I
know what my heart wants, and it wants him. My ex-husband.
Harrison

Why is it that you don’t know the depths of your mistakes until you’ve already
made them? I knew signing those papers was a bad idea, but I thought that’s
what she wanted. The minute we stepped foot out of that courtroom, it hit me.
She’s no longer mine.

That’s when I also realized, that I would do anything to change the past. I
have so many regrets. Not her. I could never regret her, but how we ended. We
never should have ended. I’m in for the battle of my life to convince her to
give us another shot. I have a plan, one that will prove to her that, it’s not
over.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

It’s Not Over is a wonderful second-chance romance featuring a divorced couple. Harrison and Gwen’s marriage ended not because they stopped loving each other or because one of them cheated, but because they stopped communicating and making each other a priority.

Divorce was the last thing that Harrison wanted, but he’s do anything for Winnie… even granting her the divorce he doesn’t want. The feelings still run deep between them, and they commemorate the end of their marriage by sleeping together.

After the fact, Harrison vows to win his wife back. When he finds out that Winnie was in a car accident — and she’s pregnant — he has even more reason to put his wife and child above all else in his life.

There is a nice arc as they date again, learn to put one another first again. Harrison is absolutely devoted to Winnie and the baby, and it’s so sweet. There is a bit of drama at the hands of a flirty coworker, and a smidge of mystery. I really love the love/hate between her sister Gaby and his best friend Chase, and hope that there is a story coming for them!!
