Is this really happening?

The Same Side: Book 2 (The University Park Series) - CM DoportoThis is a continuing story of Lexi and Raven from the first book int he University Park series.  In this story, Lexi works to find out if she can be the all American teenager.  Her parents always want her to do what they have chosen, not what she wants.  Now she is no longer engaged to Collin, she is trying to find out if her feelings for Raven are real.

Raven has a past that most would be ashamed of.  He is afraid to take a chance with Lexi, but it is all he really wants.  She decides she can no longer tutor the football star without her heart getting damaged.

Lexi tries to change her image and her outlook.  Now that she is free of her parents influence, she tries to be more like the typical college kid.  This means she runs into Raven at parties everywhere.  The women chasing after him as usual, she is torn as to what to do.

Raven wants better for Lexi.  He thinks she should go back to Collin, not getting that this would never happen.  She is done with that life and living without love.  She wants a future with Raven, if she can change his mind.

Such an amazing story with the characters trying to go after what they want.  Finally showing they are adults, and making decisions for themselves.  The development in this book is clear and great to see!  I give this 2nd installment in the University Park series a 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
