Confession time. I have a slight addiction to Lauren Layne and her books. And as fan, I knew I couldn't wait to get my hands on her newest release I Wish You Were Mine but at the same time I was a little nervous. So why was I nervous? Well, honestly I was a bit apprehensive and worried when I first read the blurb of a sister falling in love with her sister's ex-husband. But I didn't have to worry that much since Lauren Layne was able to manage to give her readers a full scope and understanding of the hero and heroine's relationship and why this couple's love for one another was honest and raw.

 photo af430267b0b0a41584c68a3231a977_zpsgyls5i1o.gif“ Her brain might be over her crush on Jackson, but her heart . . . Her heart was still hung up big-time on this guy she could never have. ”

Mollie Carrington first love was Jackson Burke. He was handsome, kind, gentle, funny, smart, and sinfully sexy but the only problem was Jackson was in love with her sister, Madison. Eight years ago, Mollie watched her crush and first love marry her sister. But what happens when Jackson and Madison are divorced and Jackson is living in the same city as Mollie?

Jackson Burke thought he married the love of his life but sadly his marriage to Madison wasn't what he thought it would be. And with his NFL career gone and a failed marriage under his belt, Jackson felt it was time to relocate and start a new career in journalism. So when Jackson finds himself in New York, he reunites with his former sister-in-law, Mollie. Mollie has always been special to Jackson. She was someone he could confide in. And so when he meets up with Mollie, he begins to see her in a new light. No longer the friend or sister, but as someone he wants.

#IWishYouWereMine_1

The relationship of Mollie and Jackson can be summed up as complicated. No matter how you look at it. It's just complicated. Mollie is torn for wanting Jackson and being loyal to her sister. Mollie can't deny her attraction and love for Jackson but at the same time she worries if she is betraying her sister. The sister who helped raised Mollie. As Mollie and Jackson juggles this new found attraction and budding romance, how will Mollie's sister react to the revelation that her ex-husband and baby sister are a couple? How can something so wrong feel so right?

 photo af430267b0b0a41584c68a3231a977_zpsgyls5i1o.gif“You are your own woman, and you are a woman, Mollie. You’re not a kid. You’re not a girl. And if I’ve been a complete asshole lately, it’s because I’m having a hell of a time coming to grips with the fact that I want you. And fuck, Mollie, I want you. I want you so bad, I’m dying.”

While this book is dripping with angst and sexual tension, Lauren Layne was able to balance the story with the tangible and palpable bond of Mollie and Jackson. As a couple, Mollie and Jackson were perfect for each other. They were truly meant to be. They indeed had chemistry. But what I really loved about this book was Mollie. She truly was the heart of this book because she allowed readers to feel her pain, vulnerability, conflict and love. I loved no matter what Mollie didn't hold any resentment to her sister and that epilogue ending was bliss and hopeful.

#IWishYouWereMine

I Wish You Were Mine was indeed a second chance romance story but with an added twist and angst that will surely have you glued to your e-readers as you await what will become of Mollie and Jackson. I loved that Lauren Layne was still able to make hearts race in this new second chance romance that is filled with hope, new beginnings, and love. So if you are looking for a book where something so wrong is right then I would definitely recommend you to read I Wish You Were Mine.

☆☆☆☆ 4.75 Stars ☆☆☆☆

The Baller was laugh out loud funny, Brody was such a riot. He had such a cocky as hell attitude, but with so much personality. Then you add sportscaster Delilah into the mix, so much fun. Their banter back and forth will have you giggling and laughing at any given moment. When it comes to these two, it’s not all about fun and games, they also had chemistry. Chemistry that Delilah tried to ignore, but sooner or later Brody’s charm won over. Brody was a real charmer and would win anyones heart over.

Delilah and Brody met at the top of their career. While Delilah tried to ignore the attraction, Brody tried to win her over and over every time they would see each other. Brody worked hard to get Delilah to fall at his feet, something he never had to do…But with Delilah he would do anything to give him a chance. Brody was straightforward, he wanted her with no commitment. Delilah was not a one night stand kind of girl, so she fought hard to say hi just to have a piece of him. She’s a relationship kind of girl, not a casual sex girl. With both of them wanting each other so badly, who will surrender first? Sex? or Relationship? Read and find out.

“Does dinner mean sleeping with you?”
“Hopefully when it’s over. But if you want to switch things up a bit and get to the f*cking first, I’m happy to oblige.”


When it comes to Author VI Keeland books, I have always been sold. Each book I’ve read from her I’ve enjoyed and I cannot wait to read more. I love reading books with so much personality, but at the same time with so much emotion and sweetness that will pull anyone in. Brody may come off as a cocky bastard, but that is no way close to the man that he really is. Trust me, once you get into Brody, he will for sure pleasure every bone in your body. He is one hot man, with so much sweetness and cockiness to go around.

Love So Perfect by Marquita Valentine was another sweet addition to the The Lawson Brothers Series. And this time, Ms. Valentine has sweeten this charming story with the added twist of an older woman and younger man falling in love.

Austin Lawson is a starting professional quarterback, who happened to be caught in a whirlwind of scandal due to a leaked edited video of him unkindly breaking up with an ex. Though the video was planted by his ex and edited, the public didn't take so kindly to this golden boy quarterback. His good boy image is slightly tarnished so his publicist and coach decides that Austin needs to head back home to his hometown in Jessamine till everything cools down on social media. To help speed along the damage control, Austin decides to volunteer at the local elementary in his hometown. And the teacher that he gets assigned to is none other than Harper Bell.

 photo 49214351a3349e3e6f1bd7109276d8_zpsymnnyefa.gif “ He tasted so good , so addictive, that she was half-afraid he would stop and half-afraid that he wouldn’t. How could she survive a kiss like this? How could she survive a man who didn’t give her pretty words, but instead showed how attractive he found her?”

Harper Bell is the sweet and innocent citizen of Jessamine. So when she meets Austin, she was intrigued with the young man. She found him fun and flirtatious. So when Austin asked her out on a date, she was smitten that an attractive man found her beautiful. As the two begin to spend more time with one another, Harper finds herself beginning to fall for Austin and the same goes for him. But what happens when Harper discovers that Austin originally asked her out, so he could help with social image? Was Austin's feelings for her real? Is there such a thing as a love so perfect?

Marquita Valentine has a knack for sweet town romance and I love reading her books. She has a way of beautifully crafting charm, sweetness, and sexy romance all into one heart-warming story and Love So Perfect is another prime example of that. So if you are looking for a story where she breaks the conventional romance and allows readers to see that it's okay for an older woman to fall in love with a younger man then this book might be for you.
