"Tell me a secret", I ask.
"I'm falling for you."
Austin Sexton is a bad-boy media mogul and heir to the Sexton Empire. On the outside, he's a whiskey-slinging bachelor with the world on a string. Problem is, strings break easily.
Deep within lies a war hero who refuses accolades. He buries his pain with his vices, and against my better judgment, I've become one of them.
No matter how hard I try to push him away, his secrets draw me in. This man, who appears careless, has passion. If I were looking for someone in my life, I could see myself falling for a guy like him.
Good thing love is the last thing I'm looking for.
Contains mature themes.

My Review

Austin by Lauren Runow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have previously read this story and loved it. This story is beautifully co-written by Lauren Runow and Jeannine Colette. I like the background story about illegal street racing. It's very interesting and thrilling. Jalynn and Austin are great together and they share a strong chemistry. The ending is beautiful, but also really intriguing! This was my first listen to Amelie Griffin and Alex Kydd's voices. They both have a great voice, easy to understand, and they did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed my listening. Now, I can't wait to listen to the next book in the Series, Bryce's story!

This is the third and final book in the amazing Gods of Vegas Series. Zachary and Hanna's enemies to lovers story is really great! Their chemistry is like fire! I love to see again Hagen, Pierce, Penny and Amelia. This is a great conclusion to this amazing and addictive Series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but the stories are interconnected and at the end they are whole. Believe me, you don't want to miss one of them. I would love to have this Series in audiobook. This is exactly the kind of story I can read again, just for the pleasure to enjoy it again. Now, I'm looking forward for more stories written by Sienna Snow.

CHASE

The first time I saw Aimee Gilpin walk into a bar, it was love at first sight. She looks nothing like the women I usually go for, and everything like the woman I’d want to come home to every night. Then my best friend showed up, and I had to let him pursue her. It was the right thing to do as a friend and business partner, but the wrong thing to do for my heart.

The second time I see Aimee walk into a bar, she has finally convinced my friend that she isn’t interested, and I was planning on drinking myself into oblivion to avoid calling her. She probably thinks I hate her. I tried to.

Tomorrow, I’ll deal with my best friend and the company we built with his money and my brains.

Tonight, she’s mine.

AIMEE

The first time I saw Chase McKay at a bar, I thought I’d met the man of my dreams - I just didn’t recall the man of my dreams looking like the lead singer of a grunge band. Then as soon his friend showed up, Chase bolted like I was his worst nightmare.

The second time I see him in a bar, I can tell by the look in his eyes that we both regret his choice that first night. He has no idea that I just started working for the company that their company is about to start working with.

I don’t want to make things any more complicated than they already are, but I do want him like nobody’s business.

Tomorrow, we’ll deal with the fact that Chase, his best friend, and I will be working together.

Tonight, he’s mine.

About the Author

New York Times and USA Bestselling Author, S. L. Scott, was always interested in the arts. She grew up painting, writing poetry and short stories, and wiling her days away lost in a good book and the movies.

With a degree in Journalism, she continued her love of the written word by reading American authors like Salinger and Fitzgerald. She was intrigued by their flawed characters living in picture perfect worlds, but could still debate that the worlds those characters lived in were actually the flawed ones. This dynamic of leaving the reader invested in the words, inspired Scott to start writing with emotion while interjecting an underlying passion into her own stories.

Living in the capital of Texas with her family, Scott loves traveling and avocados, beaches, and cooking with her kids. She's obsessed with epic romances and loves a good plot twist. She dreams of seeing one of her own books made into a movie one day as well as returning to Europe. Her favorite color is blue, but she likens it more toward the sky than the emotion. Her home is filled with the welcoming symbol of the pineapple and finds surfing a challenge though she likes to think she's a pro.

Four Meaningful Words By A.M. Guilliams

Title: Four Meaningful Words

Author: A.M. Guilliams

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 31, 2019

Blurb

Four words posed in a question started the beginning of our future.

Will you marry me?

Ten years of love and laughter, triumphs and failures, losses and gains later, and four words threatened to end it all.

Everything has a beginning and an end. I just never saw mine coming. Especially when I finally thought we were getting it all.

Until my husband and lifeline uttered….

I want a divorce.

Only I had four words of my own. Words that should be said out of happiness and pure joy. Words I’d been dying to say, but never could. A sentence that he may never hear now that he didn’t want to be my forever anymore.

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.

Excerpt

Parker’s grasp as we kiss is masterful, his hips pivoting until we’re in a tiny closet, the door shutting behind us, our bodies surrounded by coats. At any second, someone could walk in, find us, interrupt and embarrass us, but I don’t care as my fingers grasp his thick, hard chest. He doesn’t care as his hand slides between my thighs, my need to be touched so great that I moan into his mouth, biting his lip. He makes a sound that says he needs this, too, his erection pressing into my hip, the centering of his thickness as he nudges my legs wider with his knee making me hold my breath as he rubs up, just once, just right, just there.

“I’ve missed you,” he hisses as his mouth takes my earlobe, sucking gently, then hard, the tip of his tongue flicking and laving, my clit spasming as it imagines him doing this between my legs. My fingertips dig into his shoulders, one hand diving down the length of his abs until I cup his sac, then ride the ridge of my palm up his long, thick, engorged–

“What are we doing, Parker?” I gasp.

“Whatever we want,” he says, so steady, so sure, so unabashedly here.

“SKIP?” someone calls out from behind the door.

“PERKY?” Mallory whisper-yells, her voice breaking through as I clench, my whole body going tight, the core of me shivering with an orgasm that crashes over me as Parker’s leg, his mouth, his very presence, make me lose my everloving mind.

And all my self-control.

Every shred of it.

This is a sweet and hilarious second chance to love. Perky (Persephone) is sassy and hilarious. I love her! Parker is handsome, and I love his determination to get Perky back! I love their chemistry. They are both great characters. I also love the secondary characters. I enjoyed my reading, and I can't wait to listen to the audiobook version! If you like Rom-Com, you will love this one.
