Shattered Illusions

Shatter Me (Entangled Brazen) - Tori St. ClaireReagan Sanders and Alex McCray have been hot for one another for years.  Alex is feeling like he wants to take a chance with Reagan, only to remind himself that her former husband died saving him.  Reagan is trying to start over after a miserable marriage and is being looked down upon for not grieving louder and longer.

Alex and Reagan cannot stop the chemistry that pulls them together.  Their attraction is very strong and you feel it from the very first page.  They both have things from the past that are coming back to haunt them, and their relationship is too new to maybe weather the secrets that are just now coming to light.

Alex has a lot of guilt about the promises he made to his buddy.  Reagan just wants to create the future she was robbed of in her former relationship.  She has been hurt quote a bit both physically and emotionally and it makes it hard for them to compromise.  

Reagan has just one good friend it seems.  Unless you count Alex.  Can they share love enough to one another to override the hurts of the past?  Is love enough?  Can you get rid of guilt if you love hard enough?

This story is very moving and sincere.  My only issue with it was the very meek and wounded heroine that just needed to toughen up.  I know that sounds harsh, but I just felt glimpses from her character as I was reading that there will soon be hell to pay.  I give this book a 3.5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Cherry Pie (Mercury Rising Book 1) by Samantha Kane     Date of Publication: September 16, 2014   Blurb:   You can go home again if you can get a foot in the door.   Mercury Rising, Book 1   A year after packing and moving from L.A. to Mercury, North Carolina, John Ford still hasn't adjusted to the heat. Or to life without his long-time partner. As he fixes up the old house he bought, the quiet becomes his only companion, and he's content with that—until a deep-voiced stranger plants himself under a tree across the street.   Eight years ago, Connor Meecham left someone behind in that house—himself. Now he's back to find the man he used to be, before drugs and prison sent his life careening off the tracks. But it's not his mother's face peering through the window any more. It's a man who seems as lost as Conn himself.   When John learns what the house—and the dying town—mean to Conn, he finds himself opening the door to his heart. Just

This is book #6, in the True North series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding of the series, and too avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this compelling series in order. Skye returns to the place she hates the most to help out the sister she always wanted.  When she gets there, tables have turned.  There is now danger if she pushes too far in finding her sister.  Who can she turn to? Benito AKA "Ben" is a blast from the past, who has always had a thing for Skye.  She was the one that got away, and he has no intentions of letting that happen again.  He also has to find her sister and solve his case. While this author is a definite auto purchase, she always brings the goods to the table.  In this story, we get a second chance romance with such heart and heat that every page is a sizzling delight!  I loved the banter, and was eagerly turning each page to get to the next.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***Th
