When Leah loses her fiancé, Mark, in Afghanistan, it takes nearly a year to get to the point where she’s ready to live again. Although she doesn’t want an emotional commitment, a night of consensual sex, even with a stranger, might help bring her some closure after Mark’s death. Enlisting the services of Madame Evangeline’s high-end, online dating service, One Night Stand, promises exactly what Leah is looking for—sex with a man she doesn’t have to see again, but one who will satisfy her physical needs now that she’s ready to move on with her life.

Jackson Castillo has no desire to go on a date with one of Evangeline’s clients. One Night Stand uses his hotel for its client’s rendezvous, but otherwise, he never gets involved. When Eve threatens to take her business elsewhere unless he helps her with a particular case, he’s no fool. He’ll go on the date. But he won’t sleep with the woman.

When one thing leads to another, his good intentions to stay out of the bedroom with Leah are shattered. The sex is phenomenal, but there’s more to Leah he wants to explore. After she leaves the next morning without a goodbye, he’s both disappointed and royally pissed. Will he let her go or find a way to convince her she’s ready…to feel again?

Lucky Stars (Ghosts and Reincarnation, #5) by Kristen Ashley.

I am a huge Kristen Ashley fan/junkie/addict, sadly I am scared of ghosts! The love of the author made me read the entire series. I read through this slowly as parts were very intricate. Makes me wonder how she has that much imagination. Loved the characters and the quirkiness of Belle’s Dad Jensen was a hoot too. For the POV’s it was by chapter so it was easy to follow. The “wee ones’ ghosts Lewis and Myrtle have been held in sort of ghost purgatory for 200 years. Now it is up to a reporter and the cast of ghost whisperers and clairvoyant to help them to find peace.

Loved it even though there were parts that made me scared. Oh well not scared enough to get out the holy water!

Very thought provoking book. I was surprised that the author wrote a 17 year old boy so well! Lucas was, like I said, well written and well rounded. The entire thought process was spelled out and so accurate. The poor kid dealt with some huge issues. So many times he was quiet I wanted him to stop and scream “I remember it all” The Lil dialogue was really difficult at times as was Darren and Sammy. The accident, healing and hurt was also a great lesson to learn. Sometimes the pain you inflict on yourself by blame is much more powerful than the authoritative sentence.

Grab tissues and enjoy this one. I was thoroughly impressed!! 

A Humble Heart (Hollywood Hearts #1)

Avoiding Commitment (Avoiding, #1) by K.A. Linde.

Sam and Wade from the first book are here, as well as Pace and Holly. There are so many more that I can see added for book 3, 4 and 5. Anyways I want Gage to be in the next one….lala Back to the topic The problem is Sam & Wade have a history. When his Dad and her nephew come along it is an all out public relations nightmare. When some things about the relationship might be more real than either of them planned.

Jill Shalvis is probably one of my favorite authors. She has a way of giving her characters relate-able stories and a realness about them. Their problems are real and not overblown. It was the usual smart quotes at the chapters beginning, smart and funny style I adore.

I had a hard time putting this book down, what else is new I am becoming a chick lit addict I’m looking forward to more from this series. Gage, the Jeremy gets his act together and maybe Tag grows up?? Publisher messed up the title for sequel in the first book and after I got through the second it told me to read the first.

This is a book that is impossible to put down. I was actually shocked at how interesting the story was and how everything was tied together. Clay is a sweetheart from the beginning and you can’t help but wonder where he fits into the story along the way. Hannah is a little confusing and frustrating but I guess that is part of the point. It was one of the most suspenseful books I have read in a while. I wanted to see where, or who, everything ended with. Although at the end I was a little disapointed in the overall message of the book, it was still a great, quick read that appeals to guys and girls. The voice changes from Hannah to Clay throughout the story which gives for a much needed breather in between the sections and helps explain certain parts. 
I have wanted to read this book for a while and I am not at all disapointed. It’s easy to see how suicide changes not only the lives of the person or immediate family members, but others who were touched by the person along the way
