Rachel Blaufeld sets hearts on fire as she brings forth a sexy, heart wrenching, emotional second chance love story in her latest release, Heart Stronger. With her vivid and raw prose, Blaufeld tells a story that captures our soul as she takes readers on an emotional journey of healing, self-discovery, and love. They say life is a story and we write the chapters. And in this novel, Blaufeld captures our hearts one chapter at a time.

The older woman/ younger man trope can either be a hit or miss with romance readers but Blaufeld captures the essence and meaning of love. The raw connection between the characters were palpable from the start. As a reader, you yearned for these characters to get their happily ever after and for Claire and Aiken, their story brought a new understanding on patience and healing. Claire is broken and rightfully so since she knew what it is like to have her life ripped apart. Her life has become predictable with the same routines. And so when she meets her younger neighbor, Aiken, he awakens something inside her. So will be Aiken be able to heal Claire and her broken spirit and make her heart stronger?

Heart Stronger is a story that can resonate to every woman whoever felt hopeless and undeserving of love. Most importantly, this is a story and testament of strength, survival, hope,peace and love. So if you are looking for an emotional and yet profoundly beautiful love story then I highly recommend you to read this book. Blaufeld will mesmerize you with her thoughtful prose and charismatic characters.

An emotional sexy second chance love story that leaves a permanent mark. JD Hawkins inks, stains, and most importantly grabs the hearts of his readers as he showcases a love story that embodies forgiveness, second chances and passion in his latest release, Love & Ink.

Second chances. I know for a fact I am one of those readers who is a sucker for second chances. We all mistakes. We all have regrets. And so when a story centers on second chances, you bet your horses I will be devouring this book in seconds. And so when Hawkins introduces readers to his characters who haven’t seen each other in seven years, he allows his readers to see the growth, hurt, attraction and healing one can experience. Love is not a speck or a dot. It’s ink. It’s a permanent reminder that it did exist. And for Teo and Ash, their second chance at love existed because they both left a permanent invisible ink on each other’s soul that was stained with so much intensity, love, understanding and truth. So if you are looking for a story that is raw and sexy then I would recommend you to read this book.

I think majority of us has that moment...that moment where you are staring at the person you love and don’t know what to say. You want to admit your feelings but at the same time, afraid of the unknown and how it will be reciprocated. And in Gentleman Nine, Penelope Ward captures these emotional sentiments in such a heartfelt, real, and palpable manner. How can two friends who never had the right timing get their shot at their moment of what if this moment is their time? Their shot at happily ever after?

Since I don’t want to ruin and spoil Gentleman Nine, I will just say this book was about letting go and taking a chance. Yes, it falls in the trope of friends to lovers but this book is so much more. It is about a connection that joins two hearts as they let their guards down. A wild love that doesn’t slow down. It is about being in the moment and having the beating of hearts be the only sound. And so what happens when Amber and Channings’ new relationship is put to the test when a past comes knocking back in? Can their newfound connection last?

Gentleman Nine is a sweet, raw, and tangible love story that showcases Penelope Ward’s beautiful writing. With her charismatic characters, readers like myself can relate to the sexual tension and budding attraction. A must read for readers who are fans of friends to lovers.

I loved Gentleman Nine. Right from the start I was #TEAMCHANNING and stayed loyal only to Channing throughout the whole story. Channing was captivating, I just couldn’t let him go no matter what I did. He may have been a playboy at sometime in his life, but when it came to Channing everything had a reason. Everything he did was calculated, until he was given a chance to be with childhood friend Amber. When he offered Amber something she hopefully wouldn’t refuse, Channing was the happiness he could ever be. She was always light to his darkness and he would’ve given everything to have a chance with her. He thought being together for pleasure was going to be enough, but he was wrong. He missed calculated the outcome of his no strings attached relationship with Amber. She was the greatest person he had ever known and there was no way sex between them would just be sex. They were everything to each other. Until someone got in the way.

Channing and Amber were sexy as hell. I love their relationship as kids, even if they were too naive to know how each other felt. Amber was young and innocent and Channing lost his chance for the sake of friendship. Their Saturday no strings attached meet-up were not only sexy but sweet. Anyone in their right mind knew that these two belonged together, no matter how much they ignored their real feelings for each other. The story of childhood friends second chance romance, is a beautiful story. I loved it from beginning to end.

Oh the feels!!!! Reading a Jay Crownover book is indeed an escape. An escape to get loss in her words, characters and the raw emotions. and in her latest release, Escape, she swept readers away with her magnetic prose. This book was just pure bliss in my opinion. It was a story that took the concept of friends to lovers onto a whole new level of trust, love and and understanding. The story of Lane and Brynn was heartbreaking and yet emotionally beautiful. So if you are looking for a book that took pain and hurt and was able to transform it into something so magical and worthy of love and healing then Escape is the book for you.
