Review: From Asher, With Love by Brittany Taylor

Posted on March 28, 2025 by AmyB

He set my heart on fire… then destroyed it.

Ten years ago, I left the ashes of my past behind, determined to fulfill my dream of owning a flower shop in the largest city in the world.

With business now booming, I need to expand my storefront, and I’m desperate for help. So, when my best friend sets me up on a blind date disguised as a business meeting, with the billionaire CEO of the city’s most elite real estate firm, I cave.

What I don’t expect is the billionaire blind date turning out to be my ex-boyfriend.

Though one look is all it takes to know Asher Egan is no longer the boy I once knew from the wrong side of the tracks. He’s an ambitious, insanely wealthy businessman who knows exactly what and who he wants…

Me.

And the longer we work together, the faster the embers of our youthful love begin to reignite.

It’s a shame the pain isn’t as easily forgotten.

Fearing he’ll lose me again, he’s suddenly asking for a future we both walked away from all those years ago.

But will I be able to sift through the ashes of our past and find it in my heart to love him again… or will our second chance at a happy ending threaten to destroy us once and for all?

MY REVIEW

“Four words can change everything.”

When Charleigh’s world was turned upside down, she was determined to put her past behind her and fulfill her dream of owning her own flower shop. With business booming, Charleigh has no choice but to look at expanding. When her best friend sets up her on a blind date disguised as a business meeting, with the billionaire CEO of the city’s most elite real estate firm, the last thing she expected was to come face to face with the man who broke her heart ten years prior…

From Asher, With Love without a doubt put my heart through the ringer. I’m talking about the angsty, pull-at-your-heartstrings kind of emotion that leaves you with no choice but to devour each word like your life depends on it.

Asher and Charleigh’s story is the perfect opposites attract, reunited lovers, second-chance romance. Despite their time apart, the pull and chemistry are still there. Everything between them just oozes off the pages, leading to incredible banter and an unforgettable love story.

If you’re looking for a romance that will leave you with all the feels, you’re not gonna want to miss From Asher, With Love. Charleigh and Asher’s romance was everything I wanted and then some. My heart was set on fire and bursting at the seams with all the heartache, longing, delicious angst, and romance. I loved everything about this book from beginning to end and it’s definitely on my list of top reads for 2025!

Review: Wished by Sarah Ready

Posted on October 1, 2024 by AmyB

When Anna Benoit wishes she’s married to the enigmatic owner of the chateau she cleans, she wakes up in a topsy-turvy world where she’s Max Barone’s wife.

Anna is a romantic who believes in The One and Love at First Sight. Why? Because it happened to her. The second she saw Max Barone she fell desperately, hopelessly in love.

It didn’t matter that they were from completely different worlds—he owned a jewelry empire, she cleaned houses—love had no barriers.

Except one.

Max didn’t know Anna’s name, much less that she existed.

Then one day Anna made a wish. Suddenly she was in an upside down world where everyone believed she and Max had been happily married for years. It was passion. It was romance. It was love. It was everything she’d ever wished for.

MY REVIEW

“Sometimes you run across something so beautiful that you can’t looking at it. It’s as if the beauty tears at something inside you. The beauty is so astounding, so shattering, that you have to look away.”

“I was lonely–I see that now. I was scared to ask for love. And like my mom said, I was also scared I didn’t deserve it.”

What if you made a wish and it suddenly came true? What could possibly go wrong?

Finding herself in an alternate reality, where she’s married to the man of her dreams, but it’s not real. Anna and Max embark on an unforgettable journey as they try to undo the impossible. Along the way, they find something they never thought possible, a deep and powerful love. 

Wow. Wow. Wow. I did not see this book coming at all. This is one of those books that consumes you instantly and leaves you with all the feels. And that’s why it has to be on my list of top reads for 2024!

Wished is unlike any story I’ve read this year and will leave you believing in wishes and the forever kind of love. This story is well-written and sexy with a dash of magic. The characters are real and beautifully flawed and so easy to connect with. 

The angst, longing, and heartbreak will tug at your heartstrings. You will feel as though you are experiencing Anna’s journey right along with her, and for once, I’m not mad that this story only had Anna’s pov.

Wished is the kind of story you can’t help but devour no matter how much you wish to savor it. I loved every aspect of this story; from Anna making her wish to discover that none of it was real. I loved the heartache and longing. Anna’s journey of finding love and happiness hit me deep in my heart and had me wishing she’d find her happily ever after.

Wished is the first book I’ve read by author Sarah Ready, and I’m kicking myself for not reading her books sooner. If you’re looking for an unforgettable romance with a dash of magic, you won’t want to miss Wished.

Review: The Wrong Bride by Gena Showalter & Jill Monroe

Posted on September 30, 2024 by AmyB

Vacationing in Scotland, schoolteacher Elizabeth “Elle” Darcy anticipates picturesque landscapes, castles of old and kilt-wearing charmers, not awakening in someone else’s body. Worse, that someone just married enigmatic billionaire Callen Bruce. Though that’s not the biggest problem. To the rest of the world, her new “husband” runs an elite empire. But behind his public persona, he’s a king of berserkers locked in an ancient, supernatural war with wolf-shifters.

Determined to reclaim her normal life, Elle will do anything necessary to switch back with Callen’s real wife. First, she must ditch the disciplined warrior. An impossibility when he refuses to relinquish the bride chosen for him by fate, even though he despises her. Or does he? The growing heat in his eyes says otherwise. Not that it matters. There’s no way this temporary queen will fall for the moody, broody secretive warrior who belongs to another woman. Nope. Not Elle. Not ever. Probably.

MY REVIEW

What do you do when a vacation of a lifetime turns into an utter nightmare? An innocent life switched and thrust into an unknown world. Left with no other choice, Elle must conform and play the part if she has any chance for survival or getting her old life back…

What a wild, wild ride. The Wrong Bride was filled with so many love/hate moments as the story began to unravel. Not knowing who you could really trust or what would happen when the truth came out. At one point, it felt like the hits would never stop coming, and I had no clue how Elle would get out of this predicament.

Right off the bat, I knew Callen and Elle were going to be a force to be reckoned with. Their story utterly complex, yet entertaining, and filled with the most delicious angst. The angst was out of control and utterly consuming, leaving my emotions at war with themselves.

The stakes had never been higher, and only time would tell if truth and love would overcome the obstacles set before Elle and Callen.

One thing I say for certain is that The Wrong Bride certainly kept me on my toes. I couldn’t and didn’t want to put this book down. This book has great world-building and character development. The paranormal aspects intrigued me, while the chemistry and banter left me salivating for more.

I know it may not seem like it, but my thoughts are a jumbled mess in the best possible way. All I can say is I absolutely loved this book and can not wait to read more from this duo.

560 pages | $19.00 | ISBN: 9780593816578 | On-sale: July 30, 2024

From an affluent family on the right side of the tracks, Krisjen has always been known to be the quintessential pristine and proper ‘good girl’ growing up. A beautiful, naïve, and ignorant young woman, ready for the taking…at least that’s what her parents think. But contrary to what everyone believes, Krisjen has always enjoyed being in control and is more than capable of fending for herself. It wasn’t until she was pulled into Trace Jaeger’s magnetic orbit, along with his four enigmatic brothers that she found herself okay with relinquishing a little authority. 

On the Jaeger’s side of town, in the swamps and underneath the glades, it’s easy for Krisjen to play pretend and embrace their wild family dynamic. The five brothers – Macon, Army, Iron, Dallas and Trace – are all extremely uncouth and fierce with dirty minds and wandering hands. They offer intrigue and temperaments that are as unfathomable as a tornado. Unpredictable and exciting, each brother has wicked dreams and nightmares planned for Krisjen while she’s crashing on their couch. But as fun as it’s been to escape and to enjoy the whirlwind of all the Jaeger brother’s attention, Krisjen must venture back to her side of town to fulfill her role as an obedient daughter and chaste girl once again. 

She’ll sleep on the couch one last time before returning home. And only when she knows everyone else is asleep, she’ll let herself cry for the future she has to look forward to. Except everyone isn’t asleep. When he sees Krisjen crying, he can’t help but offer his comfort…embracing her from behind, arms wrapped around her body, and his breath on her neck. Krisjen is only left wondering: which Jaeger brother held her tightly and made her veins feel like they were on fire?

Sensationally dark and vivid, Penelope Douglas stays true to their signature style and delivers a stunningly sexy and devourable romance that encourages every reader’s guiltiest pleasure. Poised to be yet another TikTok sensation, readers do not want to miss FIVE BROTHERS.

MY REVIEW

I love, love, loved this book!

Five Brothers captivated me from the very first page and reminded me exactly why I LOVE Penelope Douglas’ writing. This story is sexy, deliciously taboo, and filled with so much angst. The further you dive into the story, the more you unravel the secrets and complexities of things. Nothing is what it seems and I promise you, the characters will leave you hooked and utterly consumed.

I was in no way prepared for the emotional ride Five Brothers was about to take me on. I found myself so immersed in this story that I took my time with it and savored it. I never wanted it to end. Five Brothers is a romance that I didn’t know I needed and am so glad I picked up. I truly loved everything about this story from beginning to end and Penelope Douglas does not disappoint. Five Brothers is a definite top read of 2024 for me.

If you’re a fan of Penelope Douglas and love reverse harem and found family romances, you won’t want to miss Five Brothers. I hope you’ll pick up this story and be just as consumed by it as I was.

*Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read and review this title.*

Review: More Than Words by Mia Sheridan

Posted on June 12, 2018 by AmyB

No one lays open the heart and soul quite like New York Timesbestselling author Mia Sheridan.
The moment she met Callen Hayes, eleven-year-old Jessica Creswell knew he was a broken prince. Her prince. They became each other’s refuge, a safe and magical place far from their troubled lives. Until the day Callen kissed her—Jessica’s first real, dreamy kiss—and then disappeared from her life without a word.
Years later, everyone knows who Callen Hayes is. Famous composer. Infamous bad boy. What no one knows is that Callen’s music is now locked deep inside, trapped behind his own inner demons. It’s only when he withdraws to France to drink his way through the darkness that Callen stumbles into the one person who makes the music return. Jessica. His Jessie. And she still tastes of fresh, sweet innocence . . . even as she sets his blood on fire.
But they don’t belong in each other’s worlds anymore. There are too many mistakes. Too many secrets. Too many lies. All they have is that instinctive longing, that need—and something that looks dangerously like love.

My Review

“The princess thought she’d been waiting for the prince and yet…and yet, she’d had it all backward. The prince had survived the battle and crawled to the dark cave nearby to hide, where he’d been waiting…to be rescued by her.”

“I wanted to kiss those freckles, each and every one, to touch them with my tongue and know if they tasted like innocence.”

“Then write me love letters with your music. Write me songs that make my heart ache and my soul feel full. If you…if you have feelings for me, express them through your songs. I don’t care. But don’t live a life you don’t want to lead. Don’t become something you don’t want to be. Don’t throw away what we have because you don’t feel worthy of me.”

“I’d asked him to help me, begged him to save me, and he’d sent Jessie, not only to provide friendship and laughter when I needed it the most, but to gift me the joy of music. She’d delivered it straight into my arms, like a messenger bearing miracles, and I hadn’t once recognized her for what she was. My gift. My fate. My love.”

There are so many brilliant and wondrous things that I want to say about this book. But, I don’t know if I will ever be able to truly tell you just how and amazing and unexpected this book was for me. True to Mia Sheridan fashion this book has my heart all tied up in knots, feeling so many emotions. I know when I’m reading one of her books that I should expect to be taken on an incredible journey, but I am utterly floored by just how much I loved this book. More Than Words is one of those stories that just sneaks up on you. You won’t stand a chance. You may as well lock yourself in your room, because you are not going to want to put this book down..

From the moment I picked up More Than Words, I was inexplicably drawn to the characters and the story. I was completely captivated and was dying for more. The lyrical writing and flow of the story just sucks you in. You can’t absorb the words fast enough. This story is so unique, but delivers so many powerful messages. This book is so much more than a love story. It is a story of friendship and hope. A story of the worst pain and heartache. A story of despair and at times hopelessness. A story of demons and hitting rock bottom. A story of longing and love you want to give so badly, but don’t think you deserve. This story is just so much more than I will ever be able to say.

To say I loved this book would be a total understatement. It is the book my heart has been waiting for, but didn’t know existed. The characters will consume you and become a part of you. They are so real and flawed and beautiful. Their struggles and pain are so palpable. You can’t help but get lost in Callen and Jessie. Jessie is the girl who believes in fairytales and happy endings, always searching for an escape in made up worlds. And Callen is the beautiful broken boy who is lost and surrounded by demons, looking for a way out and finds hope in an unexpected place. Their story is complex and will tug at your heart. It will have you feeling so many emotions and at the same time will have you rooting for a happily ever after.

More Than Words has stolen my heart with it’s incredible writing and brilliant characters. It has consumed me and has left me with one heck of a book hangover. For me, this book ties Archer’s Voice for favorite reads and is definitely a top read of 2018.

My Review
Heartbreaking. Beautiful. Well Written. Captivating. Those are just a few words to describe this amazing book. Finding the words to give this book the justice that it deserves was a difficult task for me, but I’m going to give it my best shot…..
Pretty Pink Ribbons follows the story of Laney and Levi. Eight years ago, Laney made the biggest mistake of her life. Forced with an ultimatum, she choose following her dreams over love. A decision that she has regretted since the moment she made it. Now, eight years later, Laney is moving back home. She wants to try to make up for her mistakes and hopes that Levi will give her a second chance before it’s too late. When Laney left  Levi, he was devastated. He promised himself that he would never fall in love again. For eight years, he’s tried desperately to erase her memory. Just when he thinks that he’s finally moved on, Laney comes back into his life. Levi finds himself confused. He wants to be mad at her, but is finding that to be nearly impossible, especially once they hash things out. When the truth comes out, will Levi and Laney be able to get past the hurt and have a second chance?
PPR 1
It is so hard to believe that this only K.L. Grayson’s second book! It is so well written, it feels as though she has been writing for ages. From the moment I read this synopsis, I knew I had to get my hands on  this book. I knew it was going to be life changing. I was not prepared for how deeply this book would effect me. Pretty Pink Ribbons is beautifully written and you can tell that this book was written from the author’s heart. I could not put this book down. I devoured every word, every moment of this book. There were so many times where I was brought to tears. This book wrecked me and broke me in the best possible way.
The characters are absolutely amazing. I was hooked on Laney and Levi from the very first page and just had to know more about their story. Their connection and chemistry was so beautiful. I was crossing my fingers and rooting for them to be able to find their way back to each other. The secondary characters were just as amazing. I adored Mia and Benny. They were the absolute best friends Laney could even ask for. Their strength and love was so inspiring. Everyone needs friends like those in their life. And I really hope that we get to see more of them in the future.
Pretty Pink Ribbons is not an easy read. The subject matter is tough and real. Your heart will break and it will feel as though you going through all of this with Laney. That being said, this is a book about strength, determination, fight and the power of love. This is one of those reads that will stay with you for a long time. I loved everything about Laney and Levi’s story. I highly recommend checking this one out!

Excerpt

“I wish it was someone else,” she croaks, swallowing hard. “There are thousands of bad people in the world, but it happened to you.” I watch her eyes fill with tears and then I look away. It’s pathetic of me really; that I’m unable to look my best friend in the face when it’s obvious that she is struggling with this almost as much as I am. But I’ve cried my fair share of tears and although I’m certain my tear ducts have yet to dry up, I don’t want to cry tonight. Somehow I know that if I watch Mia break, then I’ll shatter right along with her.

“I’m glad it’s me.” She gasps, startled by my words, and I rush to try and explain. “If it wasn’t me, it would be someone else, and I would never wish this upon someone else. You know that saying that God will only give you what you can handle?”

She nods

“Sometimes I tell myself that he just thinks I’m really strong and I can handle it, whereas someone else couldn’t.”

“Does that help?” she asks. “Does that make you feel better about it?”

“No, but it eases my mind. Sometimes when I’m having a good day, it brings me peace, however temporary it may be. But no, it doesn’t make me feel better.”

“Peace,” she whispers, seemingly trying the word on for size. “I want you to have peace.”

Blog Tour and Review: Lies Unspoken by Lisa De Jong

Meet Lila & Blake in this unexpected love story! 

LIES UNSPOKEN IS LIVE!

RELEASE DATE: December 14th, 2014

I tried hard not to fall for the bad guy. 

My new roommate, Blake, is a jerk—an unemployed artist with a chip on his shoulder. I can’t stand him unless his hands are on me. He makes me desperate for him, and everything he makes me feel. 

And then there’s my new boss, Pierce–successful, charming, and extremely good-looking. He goes after what he wants, but what does he see in me? 

I try to stay away, but I end up in the arms of exactly who I was hiding from. And when I find out what’s being hidden from me, my heart twists in ways it never should.

I thought I knew him.
I didn’t. 
The way he kissed me.
The way his hands traveled every inch of my skin.
I thought it meant something, but as it turns out, it was all lies unspoken.

Excerpt

Without warning, his lips crash into mine. At first I fight it, pushing hard against his chest, but he tastes like whiskey. Woodsy and smoky like a campfire, matching the intensity of his kiss. He melts away my anger with his mouth, leaving days’ worth of unrealized sexual tension in its wake.

He tastes.

I lean into him.

He sucks.

My knees go weak.

He isn’t something I wanted. Not three weeks ago. Not even three minutes ago. But as his hands slide up my back, coming up to circle my neck, I’m drowning in want. He tilts my head back to allow himself better access. My tongue tangles with his. Never in a million years did I envision this … how much pleasure I would feel from a simple touch. I guess sometimes we have to have our desires at our fingertips to realize their true depth.

When his lips leave mine, his hands stay. We went from one extreme to another so quickly … I’m not sure what will happen when he pushes the brakes. His face is close, like he wants to kiss me again, but his hands fall away from me instead.

“Don’t—”

One step back.

“Ever—”

Another step.

“Let me—”

Another step. His back hits my bedroom wall.

“Do that again.”

As he exits the room, I’m left wondering what the heck just happened. That kiss took all the cells in my brain and tangled them. I never imagined this, and I hate to admit it but I liked it. 

My Review

Since I finished this book, I’ve been trying to find the words to write this review. This book brought out feelings in me that I haven’t experienced while reading in a long time. This is my first book by Lisa De Jong and I am totally kicking myself for waiting so long to read her books. 

Lies Unspoken follows the story of Lila and Blake. After going through a tough and devastating break up, Lila decides it’s time for a change in scenery. She goes to Chicago to pursue her dreams and is lucky enough to be able to sublet her best friends apartment for a while. Little does she know that she will have a roommate. A roommate who will completely challenge her. Blake is the epitome of bad boy. Everything about him screams that Lila should stay away, but staying away is always harder than one thinks. They try and boy do they ever try to deny the chemistry that is between them, but that denial is not in the cards for them. Add in the sexy CEO who is waiting, just waiting for the right moment to make his move and you have the recipe for an amazing book.

I’ve been on an angsty read kick lately and this book didn’t disappoint at ALL! I fell in love with Lila and Blake instantly. Blake was a jerk; a broody artist with a ton of secrets. I wanted to hate Blake! God I really wanted to, he was such an ass at times! But then I was given  these moments, these swoon worthy moments and little glimpses as to who Blake is and why Blake is the way that he is and it  made me forget why I wanted to hate him.

“He’s going to be my vice and virture all in one-my wrongdoing and my good deed”

And the chemistry……Holy Heck!! The chemistry between Lila and Blake was scorching. The more they tried to fight and deny their feelings, the more I knew this was going to be explosive! 

“I’m left wondering what the heck just happened. That kiss took all the cells in my brain and tangled them. I never imagined this,, and I hate to admit it but I liked it’

I enjoyed every minute, every push and pull of Lila and Blake’s relationship. I found myself rooting desperately for them to find a way to make this thing that they had work!

Lies Unspoken is one of those books that once you read the first page, you will be sucked in. I know I was. It was impossible for me to put this book down. I just devoured every single word.

Lies Unspoken is sexy, full of angst, heartbreak, lies and misunderstandings. This book will take you on one heck of an emotional roller-coaster ride and will leave you with a brutal cliffhanger ending! There is a silver lining here and that is that the wait for book 2 isn’t too long. Book 2 comes out in March and I CAN NOT wait to get my hands on that book!! Lies Unspoken is definitely one of my top reads of 2014!
