Derek

The sound of the gavel crashing down, 

Has my life flashing before my eyes. 

Learning to play ball. 

Falling in love, 

Marrying an incredible woman and starting a family

Becoming a starting pitcher for the Indianapolis Lightning. 

Everything I ever wanted... Until I struck out. 

The same success that gave me the life I dreamed of, 

Took it all away. 

I'd do anything for a second chance, 

Even throw the perfect pitch. 

Jillian 

A signature on a piece of paper...

It binds you to someone, or it can tear them away. 

It broke my heart to file the papers. 

Gutted me to sign them. 

But this isn't the life I envisioned.

Tired of competing to be his number one priority,

I had to walk away from the man I loved.

I needed to be strong for our girls, for me.

Life goes on.

People can change. 

Now he wants a second chance. 

But can I forgive the man who threw it all away, and trust that he won’t do it again?

The Perfect Pitch is book one in the Indianapolis Lighting baseball series. Derek has the perfect pitch in life/baseball career until a few strikes leave him questioning just how perfect it is. We all know it takes men a drastic event/reason for them to see the light or in his case pitch a perfect game. Signing on the dotted line is his wake call! Now it's time to show Jillian and his girls just want he was missing out on and how it will be if he could get that second base run at home again. You will feel these characters emotions and the struggles they endured to getting back in the game to land the well overdue home-run.  You will also laugh at where this series is going to be headed and I cannot wait for this story to release! Like I said, men learn the hard way! Batter up, strike one. If you read her other Indy series (hockey) it was nice see a blimp of them in this story. There is not a story by this author that doesn't hook you and has you wanting to through their sports gear at them. Love it! 

Title: Paine

Series: Rosewood High #2

Author: Tracy Lorraine

Genre: YA/NA High School Bully Romance

Release Date: February 20, 2020

She was my best friend. The person I told my deepest secrets to. But when my world came crashing down, it was all because of her family.

From that moment, I realized I’d been wrong to trust her. Her big caring eyes and sweet face were nothing but an act as she’d watched on while I tried to keep my head above water.

That was our past.

Now, I’ve largely put Camila behind me and moved on with my life. Though it doesn’t explain why she’s always there: taunting me, tempting me, showing me the life I could have been living.

I should have been laughing when her own world turned upside down. Karma always wins out in the end. But suddenly we’re forced together once again and I have no choice but to remember the girl I’ve tried so hard to forget.

For years, infertility followed me like a cloud.

But finally, the sun has risen. 

Finally, I am pregnant. 

Except now a new storm rages in the distance—one I have no choice but to pass through. 

I have no idea if the child I’m carrying belongs to my husband ... or to the man I’ve betrayed him with—a man I’ve come to love but whose name I don’t know.

What I do know is that I’m a cheat. A liar. Undeserving of this baby inside me.

I don’t know how this will end. But I do know it won’t be without casualties, because this is a story in which a true happy ending cannot exist. 

A story of how my love for one grew into three but must end with only two.

LIVE RELEASE ALERT

Excerpt

Prologue

Pain relievers. You stare at the multitude of options at your fingertips, a whining toddler at your feet. Vitamins. I back away from them. Watch you ruffle the shock of blonde before taking the tiny hand that claws at your leg. 

The commotion in the store falls silent. I'm paralyzed, my throat constricted, hands sweaty, eyes burning out of fear that I'll blink and you'll be gone. 

You bite your lip, your eyes scanning the back of a box of Dimetapp before mumbling something to the girl. She is persistent. Throws a tantrum. You pick her up, my eyes trained on the strength of your arms -- the muscular lines that cut across your skin.

You are beautiful.

"You ready?"

A small gasp leaves me as I force myself to look at my husband, all four chambers of my heart ripping as I wish for something else. "Yes," I whisper, hand snatching up the nearest bottle of what I came here for, and allowing my hair to shield my face.

"Well, hurry up. I'm ready to go."

Your head turns at the frost in his tone, the little girl now snug on your hip, snot glistening from her upturned nose. When our eyes connect, I surrender. A wave of longing erodes my veins, and I see the same in those tired eyes of yours. They widen at me, need and desire and understanding packaged beneath one bow. 

I can smell a cheater from a mile away. 

I know them because I am one. Once a cheater, always a cheater, right? 

I want you. 

And you ... your scent is strong.

Review: Beautifully Broken

Beautifully Broken by Bailey B.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beautifully Broken is a story that will tug at your heart and have you wanting to hug Piper and Rex. This is a young adult story that even older adults will enjoy (I did). Piper has a life no one wants or should ever experience. Thankfully she has a foster family (Mama T and the Harris twins, Logan and Cooper) who aids her in all aspects to help pull her through some dark times. It doesn't help that we get a twist on a twin, shame on you! (all I will say to avoid a spoiler). Met Rex, all people dream of having his life, but being rich and famous has its' drawbacks (just use Rex as the perfect example). Both Rex and Piper are broken in their own ways, but fate brings them together when death has other plans and why they are still here. Piper is close with Cooper, but good old Cooper is not taking well to this bond between Piper/Rex. Love where this goes, as it is sad, but eye opening as well! Logan was no saint and he hides the true him really well. The darkness in him shall prevail and I cannot wait to get his story (ILUIHU). This story just goes to show you that all broken people have a beautiful soul and purpose in life. It may not be an easy life, but the lesson that comes with it is what makes you that much stronger. This is the authors debut book and you would think she has been writing for years. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Title: Crash Into Me

Series: Crescent Bay #1

Author: Alyne Hart

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 Release Date: February 18, 2020

Blurb

A sexy and emotional romance that transcends the ideas of life and death. Can you suspend disbelief?

For one entire and blissful night, I wasn't Megan the widow. I was Megan out having a drink with her best friend. I was Megan, getting hit on by a hot, younger guy. I said no to him, but everything inside of me said yes.

I was still grieving and healing the loss of my husband Sam. Getting my life back to some kind of normal. Until it got complicated. Very, very complicated. Because that hot young guy who wasn't even supposed to be on my radar? He came crashing in with this weird electric pulse between us and a chemistry that's off the charts. If that wasn't complicated enough - he's is a student in my creative writing class with enough complications of his own.

The words in his poems remind me of Sam's. He says things that are too familiar. Knows things about me no one else knows. It's like seeing a ghost. I wasn't supposed to fall for him, but my happily ever after is gone, and his arms feel like home.

But when everything starts to make sense, and the pieces come together in the end, am I in love with him? Or the memory of Sam?

Holy smokes do we crash reading this book! All I have to say is pay attention to the prologue cause that is not who I thought was the one stating this (best way to state this without a spoiler). Megan has had her world turned upside down and is struggling to move on after her husband, Sam passes away unexpectedly. All she wanted was one night to let go, which she does, but a chance encounter with Liam was supposed to be just that. A one time encounter. HAHA!! Fate has other plans for Megan! Put aside that Liam ends up in one of her class, this pull and magnetic chemistry between the two is beyond strong. Add in a cat who truly is working on nine lives and a twist many of us will not see coming. Your heart, jaw and whatever method of how your reading this book will all drop, trust me on that one! I'm still at a speechless loss days later on how events prevailed and how things interconnected. Not in a bad way (totally in a good way). This is my second book read by this author and she gets you each time you read her books (hooks you in, throws a twist and has you smacking yourself with revelations that we should have saw, but didn't). She gives us outside of the box stories that are so realistic it leaves you wanting more. I'm excited to see what other books will be written by this author. I highly recommend this book!
