Handsome brunet with his sensual wife


Blurb:
From USA Today Bestselling author, MJ Fields, comes a gripping story of love and it's many truths. Once upon a time, Luke Lane loved a little, stubborn, delusional girl, and that little girl was me. My fairytale happy ever after always included my black-haired, blue-eyed, knight in shining armor, and that knight was Luke Lane. Then I grew up and convinced myself that it wasn’t a fairytale after all. It was Fate. I twisted Fate to make her story come to life, but Fate fought back, and now I am looking at a man I still love, but he doesn’t feel the same. I have to walk away. Not just for me, but for him. And not for the version of him who broke my heart, but for the version who was truly a knight in shining armor to the little girl I was, so many fairy tales ago.

         Reviewed by Staci:
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I started this book. I had seen other people’s comments about this story making them cry and what not. I thought to myself “How bad could it be?” Well after reading the book, which I could not put down I came to realize it was worse than I thought, and not in a bad way.
     This book had my emotions all over the place. From being irritated, pissed off, happy and content right down to WTF are you kidding me (and yes that is an emotion in my book).
The story starts off with Ava and Luke (I’m going to try not to give away any spoilers but not promises). Ava has been in love with Luke for as long as she can remember. It’s kind of the typical parents are best friends scenario so they spend a lot of time together. When Ava is first introduced to us for me she came off as living in a dream world. She had her whole life planned out, going to school, where she would work and of course the person she would marry and have a family with.
Then we are introduced to Luke, now I won’t lie my first impression of him he screamed douchebag. I wasn’t his biggest fan and I’m still not. I know he probably has his reasons for being the way he is but since MJ hasn’t given those to us (bad MJ) he will remain in that category.

Then we meet T, and let me just say I love T. He’s sweet and funny and of course since he’s a guy somewhat of an idiot. But let me just say I am definitely team T. I know that everything happens for a reason and I wasn’t happy with how things turned out between Ava and T, simply because I’m scared to see what’s going to happen in the next book. I know it won’t turn out the way I want to, but I know I’ll keep reading just to see some people hopefully redeem themselves.

Five Reasons You Should Totally Read The Game Plan by Kristen Callihan





Raise your hands if you've read The Game Plan by Kristen Callihan! Wasn't it awesome? Wasn't it just the best? It certainly was for me, one of my faves of last year. I absolutely loved the story, the characters and especially Ethan Dexter. Mmmmm! 

Now, if you haven't read this amazing book, here's why you totally should. 


#1. Yes, as it seems I'm bound to, I am starting with the hero of the story. Now, I find I have eclectic tastes in just about anything, including book boyfriends. I love the redeemable a-holes, the broken ones that just need to come to my bosom and of course, the swoon-worthy guys-next-door. Ethan Dexter, the hero of this story, is the latter. Except you'd never tell because a) he's a famous football player, b) he's big, bad and bearded and c) he's quiet, shy. Of course, he comes off as scary but he's just the biggest softy that you cannot help but love! 

#2. Our kick-ass heroine, Fiona MacKenzie. She's a girl after my own heart. She has spunk, she tells it like it is. Or at least, she tries to. Thing is, she doesn't really know what she wants to do with her life, that's why she tries it all. And that's another thing I like about her. Even though these pseudo-dreams of hers don't last, she always starts off on a new quest with new strength and passion. After all, how do you know you've found what you were looking for, what's good for you, if you don't give it your all?

#3. The plot. It's perfect. I love the beginning, the middle and the ending. I love how our main characters reconnect - they've known each other for quite some time but nothing ever happened - and then the process of them falling for each other. There's just the right amount of drama, nothing over the top or ridiculous to make you roll your eyes. Perfect, I'm telling you.

#4. The style. Pulls you right in. Flows with ease and I fell in love with it. It's funny, it's heartbreaking, it's swoon-worthy. My favorite style.

#5. Of course I have to mention the range of feels one gets when reading The Game Plan! As I said, it's funny - Fi will crack you up, and Dex's friends are a hoot; it's sexy - Dex will surprise you; it will pull at your heartstrings. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be rereading this really soon! 


So, go and get your hands on Dex and see why I'm so crazy about him and this book! He's just the sweetest *sigh*

Let me count the ways why falling into forbidden love is not my wisest move…
1. She works with me every single day.
Did I mention she's gorgeous, sweet, kind and smart?
2. She works in my home.
Playing with my five-year-old daughter. Teaching my little girl. Cooking for my princess. Which means…
3. She's the nanny.
And that makes her completely off-limits…But it doesn’t stop me from wanting her. All of her.

***

The other nannies in this city don't call him the Sexy One for nothing. My boss, the amazingly wonderful single father to the girl I take care of every day is ridiculously hot, like movie star levels with those arms, and those eyes, and that body. Not to mention, the way he dotes on his little girl melts me all over. But what really makes my knees weak are the times when his gaze lingers on me. In secret. When no one else is around.

I can't risk my job for a chance at something more…can I? But I don’t know how to resist him much longer either…

The audiobook will release the same day as the eBook on October 17th and will be narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt!

CoverOne copy

Title: One Author: Jewel E Ann Genre: Romantic Comedy Release Date: July 28th, 2016

 

Synopsis:

Lake Jones is a cover girl for cutting-edge prosthetic legs, a binge-watcher of Netflix, known to spy on her neighbor through her door’s peephole, and fond of laser games with her hairless cat. She’s also a bit sexually-frustrated. Until … God bestows a breath of mercy upon her in the form of Minnesota’s NFL starting quarterback. But this gift is no stranger. Lake met Cage Monaghan three years earlier. It was one day. One moment. One kiss that resurrected her dreams of finding love. His dimpled smile distracts from his imperfections, which include: a love for country music, fishing, and a feline-hating girlfriend. When life finally gives them their chance, it’s a humorous and heart-wrenching journey to find their place in the world. "We would be Cage and Lake. We would be unpredictable. We would be reckless. We would give normality the middle finger.” ***This book is a standalone. However, it is HIGHLY recommended that any readers who have not, but may consider, reading the Jack & Jill Series, do so before reading this book. It contains spoilers to Jack & Jill.

Shanda's Review


4.75 “Don’t Forget to Love Me” stars

ONE is the standalone spinoff to the Jack & Jill Trilogy. I without a doubt recommend you read the trilogy before reading ONE. If you ever intend to read the trilogy ONE will completely spoil the story for you. I don’t know why you would skip it though because it was amazing.

I have been so anxious to get my hands on Lake and Cage’s story since they hit the page in the Jack & Jill series. Lake and Cage have a very brief encounter but it was a life changing one. ONE takes place three years later and Cage is now a famous rookie NFL Quarterback and Lake is now modeling prosthetic legs. They cross paths again when Lake goes to find her hairless cat at her neighbors and Cage is there.

Once Cage and Lake come face to face again they jump in and don’t waste their second chance. ONE is definitely a romantic comedy but it has a lot of depth at the heart of the story. I absolutely adored Cage and Lake. Cage is sweet, romantic, funny, and can definitely handle Lake’s feistiness. Cage is without a doubt at the top of my book boyfriend list. The Chapters, Beijing, and describing Lake as melted butter and syrup on hot waffles; I mean COME ON, he is THE. BEST!!! I think Lake has now landed up there with favorite book heroines. I didn’t think anyone could top Jessica but as far as feisty and funny leading ladies go Lake gave her a run for her money.

As I stated this is a Rom Com but I shed quite a few tears too. This is about a couple still dealing with loss and trying to navigate a new relationship in the midst of Cage’s rising fame. I felt the author did a great job of showing us all aspects of a new relationship and some of the insecurity ( even though at times they were both irrational ) that comes with it. I did want a bit more with Cage dealing with his father, maybe a convo with this mom, or closure with Jessica but overall I am still happy with this book. Bottom line; if you love funny, swoony, and sweet romance you must pick up this book.

P.S. Jewel I don’t know if you plan on giving a Flint a story but you must. I feel like it could totally rip my heart out sooo…….. I need his story.


  P.S.S. - I read a review copy but in the live version there is a bonus epilogue! Let me tell you....I would have paid for the book anyway but that epi made me SMILE BIG TIME!


Toni's 5 star Review

Often in books it isn’t difficult to fall for the male lead, but just as frequently, I’m indifferent to the female lead or actually don’t even like her. I adore Lake. She is amazingly awesome. I have a huge lady crush on her. One really takes the reader inside Lake’s head, and it’s a pretty decent place to be. She’s relatable, sincere and the owner of an excellent sense of humor.
Cage is super man candy. He’s a hot NFL quarterback, but his best asset has to be the sweetness factor. I could skip dessert indefinitely with Cage in my life.
The author delivered a major case of the feels with this story. It’s filled with much of everything the heart needs. Romance readers prepare for greatness. I majorly loved this book, the plot, the characters, everything.
