<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Emilia St. George is moments away from marrying the admired grandson of a duke when the man who once jilted her decides to kidnap her at the altar. It’s the second time in five years Hamilton Sparrow has ruined her wedding day, and Emilia isn’t about to forgive him. The mere sight of her ex-fiancé revives painful memories—and, most regrettably, aching desires that refuse to be ignored.<br />
Scanning the guests at Emilia’s wedding, Sparrow spots a familiar face: an assassin he recognizes from his days as a spy in France. Whisking Emilia away, he’s pleasantly surprised by her newly formed curves. Could this be the same flame-haired slip of a girl once promised to Sparrow? And does the fop she still insists on marrying realize what a prize she is? True, Sparrow left Emilia at the altar. But he’s afraid that the only way to right that particular wrong is to risk the one thing he’s always guarded: his heart.</blockquote>

I received a review copy via the publisher in exchange for an honest review. It has been a while since I last read a historical romance and the first sentence of the summary captured my attention immediately. It made me want to just find out more.<br />
<br />
From London With Love does not disappoint. I'm utterly captured by the characters and the story. The book started with Emilia being kidnapped by Sparrow, the man who broke their engagement five years ago. The thing that I like about reading this book is that I get to guess who the culprit was as the story progresses. I must say that even though it is quite obvious, the process is still enjoyable. It's also fun to read about both Emilia and Sparrow, how they deny their attraction only to come together again in the end.<br />
<br />
Although this is book 3 of the series, I have absolutely no issues with reading this as a standalone. I actually finished this book in two sittings but procrastination got the better of me and I only managed to write the review now. Would I recommend this book? Definitely with those who wants to have an enjoyable and light reading.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
“People should be free to choose, once they are old enough to know what they want, and can take responsibility for their choices,” I whispered, watching you, my little baby, asleep so peaceful in contrast to the rage that brewed in me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
“How could your father condemn you this way while forcing me to stand by, unable to do anything but despair? I know he felt wretched. That doesn’t help the pain in my soul.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
“I begged him on my knees, but it was no use. Your path in life was sealed and no human could break it asunder. All I could do was leave the sad scene, crying miserably with you in my arms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
“Still, I am not alone in my misery. Before they left, she murmured that she wanted something different, but it was too late. She was as devastated as I.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
“I … could hardly bear the burden put on my shoulders by them. Oh, Elizabeth, I tried my child, I tried to protect you and I have failed you…”</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside.<br />
<br />
Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.<br />
<br />
Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.<br />
<br />
Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen.<br />
<br />
Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.</div>

I must confess that I am new to Marie Lu despite the hype around her other series, Legends. It was the idea of the mysterious and powerful gifts that survivors of the bloodfever attained that got me interested in The Young Elites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Lu has a smooth writing style that makes it easy for me to follow her characters through the story. However, I couldn't quite connect with the characters. Yes, I did felt sympathy towards Adelina for what she went through and that was it. There wasn't much on the romance portion as well. The fight scenes, however, were well-written. Generally a good read but I kept getting the feeling that it could be better. Hopefully book 2 will make up for the few shortcomings in the first one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Recommendation: Borrow the book if you want to read it. Buy if you want to admire the cover.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For sixteen-year-old Charlotte Reynolds, aka Charlie, being raised by a single dad and three older brothers has its perks. She can outrun, outscore, and outwit every boy she knows—including her longtime neighbor and honorary fourth brother, Braden. But when it comes to being a girl, Charlie doesn't know the first thing about anything. So when she starts working at chichi boutique to pay off a speeding ticket, she finds herself in a strange new world of makeup, lacy skirts, and BeDazzlers. Even stranger, she's spending time with a boy who has never seen her tear it up in a pickup game.<br />
<br />
To cope with the stress of faking her way through this new reality, Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with Braden by the fence that separates them. But their Fence Chats can't solve Charlie's biggest problem: she's falling for Braden. Hard. She knows what it means to go for the win, but if spilling her secret means losing him for good, the stakes just got too high.</div>

On the Fence is a light and enjoyable read which I finished in one sitting. The characters in the books are such darlings and when you mix in all the family teasing, the sweet chat by the fence and the character development in Charlie, it becomes a difficult-to-put-down book for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There isn't much going on in the book except the progress and transition in Charlie as she went from a tomboy to slowly discovering how to be a girl, how to go about handling it and to accept herself for who she was was. The love interest may be obvious for the start but that doesn't hinder my reading. </div>

He can fix her sink, but can he wrench his way into her heart?<br />
<br />
Flynn McCauley never thought he’d be so cliché as to fall for the girl next door. But when Maddie calls him over to help fix her faulty sink, he’s a goner. Too bad the fiercely independent interior designer wants nothing to do with him. Even worse, he’s forced to rely on the advice of his nosy brothers—and his five-year-old nephew!—to figure out how to make her give him a shot.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Picked up this book after I saw the review at <a href="http://caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/2014/06/troublemaker-next-door-marie-harte.html" target="_blank">Caffeinated Book Reviewer</a> and know that I will enjoy reading this book. We get to met the McCauley brothers--the whole lot of them--though this book focuses mainly on Flynn (nice name by the way). I enjoy reading the brotherly bonds--how they'd tease, fight and care for one another. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Maddie is a tough girl and had a super bad day and it just so happens that Flynn was in her house, which she shared with 2 Abby and Vanessa, when she was venting to Abby. Imagine her shock when Maddie found out that there's a stranger in her house who heard her rant--but no, she turned her anger on him. Interesting right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Maddie was told to apologize to the poor man, who came to help them with their sink, and so she did. The chemistry between the two of them was prevalent throughout the book and Maddie was just too stubborn to realize what was it she was feeling. *rolls eyes* Kudos to Flynn though! I had to admire his patience throughout their whole encounter and "agreement" and it came to a surprise to me that he was the one who realized his feelings first. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I laughed a little at the epilogue, totally taken aback by the small surprise there. I'll definitely be picking up the second book and read about the second McCauley Brother. </div>

<b>Chronicles of a Lincoln Park Fashionista by Aven Ellis</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Release Date: September 10, 2014</b></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recent college graduate Avery Andrews is ready to begin a new life in the big city. She's landed an apartment in Chicago's famed Lincoln Park neighborhood–and has her eye on the cute commodities trader just a floor above.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If Premier Airlines knew about her fear of flying, they never would have hired her to be their marketing assistant—but it's not like Avery wants a lifelong career. Right now she simply wants a job to pay her bills…and fund a few little shopping excursions, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her new lifestyle comes with a price tag, as Avery is not only faced with paying a ridiculous rent but finds she's perceived as one of the vacant, husband-hunting fashionistas who live in the area. Avery resents this stereotype—so she doesn't want a lifelong career, and she loves fashions she can't afford, but that doesn't mean she is empty-headed and spoiled, does it?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When an opportunity to participate in a documentary at work arises, Avery finds a two-fold solution to her problems. She'll earn extra money for it, and the documentary will show her as a serious career woman, enabling her to shed that husband-hunting fashionista label for good.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the camera is on, Avery attempts to be a motivated professional woman. But when she is challenged by Deacon Ryan, the videographer assigned to cover her story, Avery finds herself wanting things she was never supposed to want—like a lasting career—and Deacon. And Avery might just gain more from the experience than a perfect career image and extra cash to put in her Tory Burch wallet…</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have always loved to write. I completed my first novel at the age of 15—an angst driven high school romance (Boy meets girl! Evil girl likes same boy! A deception! Will true love prevail?) Though I truly wanted to be a fiction writer, I also knew it was more practical to pursue a job in the communications field and write fiction on the side. So I went off to Purdue University and earned a degree in communication, writing for The Exponent along the way (apologies to anyone who fought through reading those early attempts at journalism.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a stint writing for a community newspaper and a public relations agency, and not enjoying what I was writing at all, I found myself a non-writing job and continued writing at night and on weekends. I completed multiple manuscripts that found a home under my bed. Complete it, print it, stick it in an envelope, slide under bed. It became a routine for me, similar to "Lather.Rinse.Repeat."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, years later, I wrote Connectivity. I loved this story; I loved writing for William and MK. I became brave enough to share this story with new friends who became equally as passionate about these characters and their journey. They encouraged me to submit it to a publishing house. Then, in a critique group session, wine was poured and one of my partners, Lauren Linwood, pointed her finger at me and demanded that I submit Connectivity to a publisher, telling me the words every writer dreams of hearing—this will sell. I ended up submitting Connectivity to Soul Mate Publishing and now can happily say I am a published author.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I live in the Dallas area with my family. I enjoy clipping out recipes I will never get around to trying, working out, and chatting with friends on social media. I am particularly fond of British actors named Benedict and Henry. I love shopping and fashion and admit to being obsessed with whatever the Duchess of Cambridge is wearing. I am also obsessed with any show or cookbook featuring Gordon Ramsay.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And I do not believe in the Lather.Rinse.Repeat theory when it comes to shampooing my hair.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dakota Halifax loves to be in love. In fact, as one of Las Vegas’s premier wedding planners, she’s built a whole career around romance. Which is why her own wedding has to be nothing short of perfect. And then her fiancé jilts her. While she’s waiting in her wedding dress. On a cruise ship already out at sea.<br />
<br />
Once back on dry land, Dakota tries to pour her heart into her business and weekly wedding advice column, Get Ready to Wed. But how can the heartbroken celebrate others’ true love? When she reconnects with her childhood best friend, surprisingly sexy and all-grown-up casino bouncer Brendan West, Dakota wonders if maybe she can fall back in love with being in love.<br />
<br />
But then her ex reappears, begging for another chance, and suddenly Dakota questions if she’ll ever understand love. Can someone once-burned and twice-shy ever find her way down the aisle again?</div>

<b>About the author</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cindi Madsen is a USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary romance and young adult novels. She sits at her computer every chance she gets, plotting revising, and falling in love with her characters. Sometimes it makes her a crazy person. Without it, she’d be even crazier. She has way too many shoes, but can always find a reason to buy a new pretty pair, especially if they’re sparkly, colorful, or super tall. She loves music, dancing, and wishes summer lasted all year long. She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with her husband and three children. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most fifteen year old girls are trying to figure out who they are; I’m trying to stay alive long enough to figure out what.<br />
<br />
<br />
I’ve always been on the run. From my guilt about the things I couldn’t change, and from the voice in my head that won’t let me be normal. But yesterday Tommy and I were in a car accident on the way home from school. When I woke up, Tommy was gone, and so was the world I grew up in. Now I’m running less in a metaphorical way, and more in a “pick up the pace if you don’t want to die” way. Why? Because my eyes are blue, and I’m lost in a fantasy world where that means I’m different. It means I might not be human. It means I should already be extinct, and someone called “The Regent” is determined to make me that way.<br />
<br />
<br />
I need to find the way home, and before I do that, I need to find Tommy. He’s only in this mess because of me. I can’t do it on my own, but it’s hard to know who to trust when everyone keeps trying to kill me.</div>

What really captured my attention about this book at first glance wasn't its cover. It was that first sentence in the blurb. I was immediately intrigued by the main character and the mystery behind her situation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Between the Layers is a refreshing read about 15 years old Sera and how she woke up in a strange place after the car accident with her friend Tommy. Tommy was not with her when she woke up and she was immediately in a dangerous situation. I was thrown into a magical world and I personally felt that the world building was pretty well done. The interactions among the characters gave me a realistic picture of the world in Between the Layers. Sera pretty much acted her age--a little dramatic and compulsive at times but still a character that's really worth reading. People are convinced that she is the rumoured blue-eyed Princess Serendipity who has came back to save them but is she really that lost Princess?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The story is fast-paced and packed with actions--from waking up in a strange place and escaping from some unknown dangerous creatures to being locked up and escaping again and more... Romance takes a secondary place in this book, with only a light hint of romantic prospect between Sera and one of the guys in there, that's all. I really appreciate that part of the book and makes the read more exciting. I also like how the mystery unfold in phases throughout the book and how it leads to the end where one important part of the story is concluded. However, the story will continue in book 2 as there's more to the overall picture. Looking forward to book 2!</div>

<b>About the author</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
SaraJean Panek has loved books since before she could read. One of her earliest memories is of sitting with one of her two older brothers and following along the page as he read her “Rapunzel.” She’s been telling her own stories nearly as long. “Between the Layers” is SaraJean's debut novel. She travels at every opportunity, but currently lives in her hometown of Virginia Beach and spends most of her free time writing, the work she loves.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this dazzling and long-awaited conclusion to the acclaimed Mortal Instruments series, Clary and her friends fight the greatest evil they have ever faced: Clary's own brother.<br />
<br />
Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Bearing the Infernal Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures out of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his Endarkened army swell.<br />
<br />
The embattled Shadowhunters withdraw to Idris - but not even the famed demon towers of Alicante can keep Sebastian at bay. And with the Nephilim trapped in Idris, who will guard the world against demons?<br />
<br />
When one of the greatest betrayals the Nephilim have ever known is revealed, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec must flee - even if their journey takes them deep into the demon realms, where no Shadowhunter has set foot before, and from which no human being has ever returned...<br />
<br />
Love will be sacrificed and lives lost in the terrible battle for the fate of the word in the thrilling final installment of the classic urban fantasy series The Mortal Instruments!</div>

I was so looking forward to the release of this book to know how the how series will end. We all know the bad guys will be defeated but it is a matter of how that I am more interested in. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sebastian is still out there and his army is growing at the expense of the Shadohunters. This is a really bad situation. There are just so many things that are happening in the book and it really kept me occupied and eager to know what's next. The book is thick--over 600 pages in the hardcover edition--and yet the whole journey still felt quite fast for me. I never want it to end. I want to know what happened after everything is settled. I want MORE. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I still enjoy the author's writing style--engaging, entertaining and smooth. The feelings of the characters are distinct. It isn't an easy feat to be able to maintain such a wide cast of characters and yet the author managed to do it. The ending was quite... interesting--in a good way of course. In fact, I find it a little touching. I love how the author manage to incorporate the previous series into this series. It still feel so amazing to read all about it and marvel at all the linkages. </div>

<b>Synopsis</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Conflict of interest is an understatement…<br />
<br />
Since being disowned by her strict father, Cass Stone has spent her adulthood trying to prove him wrong. Her drive has led to more success than her family ever thought she’d achieve, and life is looking great. Not even an incredible and mysterious one night stand that leaves her a single mom can trip her up...until the father of her baby stumbles back into her life, as sexy and unreliable as ever.<br />
<br />
Logan Alexander hasn’t forgotten the night he spent with Cass two years ago, but he never expects to end up undercover as her assistant. His job saves lives—like it should have saved his brother—and he can’t afford complications. It’s difficult enough to maintain his cover as a carefree wanderer when he realizes his attraction to Cass hasn’t faded...and then he meets Cass’s daughter.</div>

The idea of the secret baby and the undercover male character in this book got me curious about how the story will unfold. The story started with how Cass and Logan met in the bar and their attraction led to one night with Logan and everything changed for Cass. A baby was coming on board but she couldn't contact Logan, who seem to disappear. The staff at the bar didn't know anyone by his name. How shocking! Two years later, they met again under some shocking situation--he's her new assistant. Another surprise--he's actually the grandson of her kind neighbour!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Paula Altenburg creates relateable characters. I can understand how Cass emotions through the words, about her protectiveness towards her daughter Olivia and her wariness of Logan. Although I understand Logan's need for secrecy at times, it frustrates me to read that he's keeping a barrier when it's kind of obvious how she felt about him and him with Olivia. Logan's grandmother is a darling! I was touched that she was actually keeping a lookout for Cass!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Overall, this was a cute read for me! Olivia is adorable and so are Logan's reactions to seeing and interacting with her. Looking forward to reading other works by the author.</div>

<b>Synopsis</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I traded my death for love. I wasn’t given a choice. His decision has caught up with us, so now I am a living, breathing catalyst to war between Heaven and Hell.<br />
<br />
The violations he committed saved my life. Since the collision, he’s appeared everywhere. In my hospital room, my school, even my house. He shows up in my paintings, my drawings, in all of my art projects. I can’t stop thinking about him.<br />
<br />
He says his name is Gabriel, and he doesn’t understand what’s happening to him. He doesn’t know how I can see him or why he wants me in ways that should be impossible for a Celestial.<br />
<br />
My obsession grows. I need him to hold me, kiss me—give all of himself. For every day he protects me, the consequences loom darker and taller. Soon, they’ll crash down on us.<br />
<br />
The war is about to begin.</div>

I was immediately intrigued after reading the summary, already thinking about what will happen in the book. Gabriel sounds so mysterious in the summary! I know I need to find out more about him and why Gaia wasn't supposed to be able to see him but yet she can.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The book starts with the unfortunate car accident that caused the deaths of everyone in the car, except Gaia and she saw <i>him</i>. She thought he was the result of her imagination until he was simply everywhere she went. There were times where I really want roll my eyes at Gaia because she seems a wee bit too obsessive of Gabriel, in my honest opinion. Things got much more interesting when Gabriel's brother Cassiel came into the picture! I think he's funny and an interesting character. Gabriel couldn't be with Gaia because of who he was, but both just couldn't help it and it's disastrous... I love the battle scene the most! It was well-written and I really could imagine what's happening and that is where Cassiel really shine. I like the character development for Cassiel much more than both Gaia and Gabriel. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you enjoy reading happy endings, you will not be disappointed. One drawback is that it's a pretty abrupt and short end though explanations were given. Overall, I really enjoyed reading Shattering Halos and its unique storyline and good cast of characters. Looking forward to the next book!</div>

I moved from Norway to the United States in 2001, and the first awesome five years I spent in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles. Then I read “The Book,” aka Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which spurred my husband and me to move cross country to beautiful Savannah, Georgia.<br />

I’m currently on my seventh year in the Deep South, where I enjoy the heat and the humidity. Besides writing, I spend my time with our “petting zoo” as in an opinionated parrot, a herd of cats that are experts on keyboard shortcuts, and puppies that…uh, bark.<br />

One is our latest Red-Hot Bliss, Her Secret, His Surprise by Paula Altenburg, which throws the bedroom door open. The second is a traditional Bliss, Accidentally Married on Purpose by Rachel Harris, which while it's a behind closed doors story it's definitely not lacking in sizzle. Plus, Seven Day Fiance by Rachel Harris is on sale! See below for more details.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Maya Rodale's captivating new series introduces London's Least Likely—three wallflowers who are about to become the toast of the ton…</b><br />
<br />
Lady Emma Avery has accidentally announced her engagement—to the most eligible man in England. As soon as it's discovered that Emma has never actually met the infamously attractive Duke of Ashbrooke, she'll no longer be a wallflower; she'll be a laughingstock. And then Ashbrooke does something Emma never expected. He plays along with her charade.<br />
<br />
A temporary betrothal to the irreproachable Lady Avery could be just the thing to repair Ashbrooke's tattered reputation. Seducing her is simply a bonus. And then Emma does what he never expected: she refuses his advances. It's unprecedented. Inconceivable. Quite damnably alluring.<br />
<br />
London's Least Likely to Misbehave has aroused the curiosity—among other things—of London's most notorious rogue. Now nothing will suffice but to uncover Emma's wanton side and prove there's nothing so satisfying as two perfect strangers…being perfectly scandalous together.</div>

I found out about this book through <a href="http://caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/" target="_blank">Caffeinated Book Reviewer</a> and got the book immediately because it sounded like a fun read. I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, I was kept entertained throughout the book because the plot was slightly different than most historical romance out there--daring, funny and unusual.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Imagine announcing your engagement publicly by accident to someone whom you've never actually met before, what would the other party's reaction be? You know from the blurb that the Duke of Ashbrooke actually played along with Emma's innocent game and this is what made the story interesting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I like how unusual the plot was and it is really refreshing to read about the deceit and how the two of them teamed up together to win in Blake's Aunt Agatha's games for a grand inheritance, which both of them badly need for their own reasons. This Aunt Agatha is another fun and crazy character, totally unpredictable! You should read how she judged people in the games. Blake... The Ashbrooke Effect, where ladies' heart start to flutter whenever he was around, didn't quite affect Emma, or so both of them thought. The conversations the both of them have and their actions brought out the best of their characters. I was eager to find out how both of them will end up--win or lose the game? It's fun to read how Blake tease Emma. I find it hard not to like the book but still, it has its flaws... like how Emma is able to attend the games with Blake, <i>alone</i>. Well, I suppose I can overlook it... The ending, although it's a happy one, it still felt somewhat lacking to me. A bit too daring? Well, you'll have to read it yourself and give your own verdict on this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A delightful read and I will continue with the series to find out about the remaining two wallflowers.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the surface, seventeen-year-old Reagan Fray appears to have everything. She's popular, Ivy League–bound, and her parents are rich enough to buy her whatever she wants. Behind the scenes, Reagan is a girl with an anxiety disorder struggling to hold the fraying threads of her life together. It takes work to stay on top, and when that fails, Reagan's learned from her politician mother that a little social espionage never hurts. That is, until the day Reagan finds all of her texts and private messages printed out and taped to every locker in her high school.<br />
<br />
Finding herself ostracized from her friends and on the receiving end of the bullying she used to dish out, Reagan won't settle into her new role as social pariah without a fight. Determined to get back in with her friends and reclaim her social status before her mother finds out and sends her to boarding school, Reagan has no choice but to team up with outcast Nolan Letner.<br />
<br />
But the closer Reagan gets to Nolan, the more she realizes all of her actions have consequences, and her future might be the biggest casualty of all.</div>

At seventeen, Cole found herself homeless with only a beat-up Volkswagen Jetta and a bag of Goodwill clothing to her name. The only things that got her through the nights she spent parked in truck stops and cornfields were the stacks of books she checked out from the library along with her trusty flashlight. Because of the reprieve these books gave her from her troubles, Cole vowed to become a writer so she could provide the same escape to readers who needed a break the reality of their own lives.</div>

Seventeen-year-old Brooklyn Hall has had her eye on uber sexy tattoo artist, Six Jagger for a while. There’s only one problem—she’s pretty sure he doesn’t even know she exists. A friend of her older brother, Six is five years older than her. Plus, there’s the pesky fact that he’s had a steady girlfriend for months. Still, even though she knows there’s no chance for her, she can’t seem to let the fantasy go.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Six Jagger has had a thing for Brooklyn Hall since the first time he laid eyes on her a year ago. However, after finding out her age, he wiped her off his list of possibilities. That should’ve been the end of it, but for some reason, he can’t stop watching and admiring her from afar. Happy that he’s successfully maintained his distance, all that changes on the night Brooklyn walks into Inked Edges, asking him for an illegal tattoo. After that, all his carefully constructed barriers come tumbling down, taking them on an explosive ride of lust, passion, and desire.</div>

<b>Synopsis</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One weekend together could change everything…<br />
<br />
When her friend called to tell her about the funeral, Cassie wanted to say no. She had enough to handle with her own hollow existence. But she knew she should pay her respects to her old Wilderness Program counselor…as long as her ex, Ben, wouldn’t be there.<br />
<br />
Except Ben is there. Still gorgeous, still angry, and still able to penetrate her defenses with one intense stare. All the reasons they left each other in a flurry of heartache start to fall away over one long, snowy weekend.<br />
<br />
But tough Cassie can’t truly open up to Ben when she knows confessing her secrets will leave her raw, defenseless. And the possibility of forever might not be enough to gamble on all the impossibilities of now</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My overall impression of the book: a sweet read packed with colourful language (actually, it's just a single word that keeps repeating in Cassie's sentences). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A funeral is what brought both Cassie and Ben together in one location ever since what happened at Turning Pines. Months of not hearing from each other made both bitter and their first meeting after that was tough on both of them. Thanks to Laura for tricking and plotting to put them together! Cassie is really lucky to have Laura as a friend, to have someone who really care so much that they dare to face your wrath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Told from Cassie and Ben's POV in alternating chapters, The Possibility of Us is all about trust and friendship. I think I would enjoy the book even more if I had read Dear Cassie first. However, I didn't do that so I couldn't really get into Cassie's story until the middle of the book. It's fun to read about their payback though! Drew and Laura? Was it for show or real? I couldn't really get that...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As interesting as the blurb sounds, do read Dear Cassie to get to know more about Cassie and Ben before what happens in The Possibility of Us. I believe you'll be able to further appreciate the characters. I'll be picking up the Pretty Amy series by the author to know what happened to Cassie and Ben.</div>

<b>Synopsis</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before she was kidnapped, Jillian Marie Antel Blairington was just an average bright, brave, headstrong child. She was excited for life in a new house with her Momma and new Daddy. Afterward, she's all that ... and so much more. Held in a scientific facility, Jillian discovers her past-a family she never knew and a power she doesn't understand. With her ability now activated, she can enter and even shape a person's dreams. Jillian's been kidnapped, and her Gift has been triggered, so she can locate and save Benjamin Connelly, a brother she never even knew she had. She'd better master this strange ability quickly, though, because her life isn't the only one at stake. Her babysitter, Danielle Matheson, is being held as a hostage to ensure Jillian's full cooperation. Slowly, Jillian begins to learn more about her captor and the other genetically altered children held at the facility.<br />
<br />
Join Jillian as she tries to survive the training being forced upon her, find her unknown brother, escape with Danielle, and work her way back to a normal life once more.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Singing in the shower takes on a whole new meaning in Melissa Pearl's first New Adult Contemporary Romance.<br />
<br />
Ella Simmons does not want to move across the country. But she is, because her boyfriend has persuaded her to join him at UChicago to finish out her college education. Never able to tell him no, she hops on a plane and makes the trek from LA expecting to adjust to life like she's often forced to, but things are not that simple when she hears a luscious voice singing over her shower wall. His deep, sexy tenor makes her weak in the knees, spreading fire through her limbs and making her question everything about her life and relationship.<br />
<br />
Can one voice really have that much of an impact?<br />
<br />
Cole Reynolds is on his way out. In his final year at UChicago, the only thing he wants to do is finish school and get on with his life. But the sweet voice that interrupts his morning shower turns his world upside down. Compelled to find his shower songbird, he begins a search across campus. The only thing to distract him from this goal is his roommate's gorgeous girlfriend who's just arrived from LA - Ella Simmons.<br />
<br />
Relationships are put to the ultimate test as future dreams are questioned and friendships are thrown on the line for love. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Fever is a lovely and heart-breaking read about the importance of mutual understanding, courage and most important of all, following your heart. At the beginning, Ella has none of the above. The only thing she sought was the sense of security through her controlling boyfriend, David, who has everything planned out nicely for her. I didn't quite like him at beginning because he didn't realize how special Ella was and wasn't sensitive to what she wants. Things got a lot more interesting after Ella heard another voice joining her in her singing session while showering. This part was mentioned in the blurb and caught my attention immediately. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The chemistry between Ella and Cole was simply... wow. It's just as if they are natural and the accompanying character growth on Cole's part was well done. Ella? Not so much, but still okay. The things Cole did for Ella was sweet and the only thing that held him back was that Ella was his roommate's girlfriend and therefore untouchable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Fever adapts a dual POV by Ella and Cole. It was an enjoyable read and it could be even better if there weren't slight overlaps and repetition of scenes at the start of the chapters, although it did give us more insights as to what both characters feel at the same time. That ending! I'm happy that it doesn't end in a cliffhanger although it does feel a little rushed. It also made me changed my mind a little about David. There is going to be a next book and it's going to be about Ella's best friend, Morgan, who played quite a role in giving Ella a push. I'm so looking forward to reading it!</div>

A good girl goes bad in the third and final book in New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan’s sexy New Adult romance series—where three Ivy League suite-mates testing their boundaries as they seek higher knowledge of just how far they can go.</div>
<div center="" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div center="" style="text-align: justify;">
Months after her boyfriend dumped her, Georgia can still hear the insults he hurled at her. Boring. Predictable. Tame. Tired of feeling bad, she’s ready to change her image, and go a little wild. What better way to prove her ex wrong than a hot night of adventure at the secret campus kink club?</div>
<div center="" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div center="" style="text-align: justify;">
In the shadowy den of the club, she unexpectedly runs into Logan Mulvaney, her friend’s little brother. A player extraordinaire too hot for his own good, he may be younger, but the guy is light years ahead when it comes to the opposite sex. Now he’s telling her to go home-”good girls” don’t belong here!</div>
<div center="" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div center="" style="text-align: justify;">
Georgia is tired of having others define her. She’s going to teach Logan a lesson he won’t forget-one white hot, mind-wrecking kiss . . . that leads to another . . . and another . . . and. . . . Realizing she’s way in over her head, Georgia runs.</div>
<div center="" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div center="" style="text-align: justify;">
Only Logan won’t let her go. Everywhere she goes he’s there, making her want every inch of him. Making her forget who she is. Who he is. And just how wrong they are for each other.</div>

I was so excited about reading Out of Control that I kept checking my mail for my pre-ordered copy that couldn't just arrive fast enough for my liking. Sarah Alderson is one of my favourite authors and I wouldn't want to miss reading any of her books! When the book did arrive, I devoured it within a day and since I was already working by then, I even sacrificed my sleep so that I can finish reading the book!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Out of Control is a fast paced thriller that will keep your mind occupied with the cinematic scenes as you progress along with Liva. She was brought in to the police station after witnessing a murder however, things took a turn for worse when the station was attacked and she fled the scene with the help of a car thief, who was brought into the station as well. There were several heart-stopping close shave with danger and I was impressed by Liva's wits and instincts. That certainly helped her a lot! Jay is a fun character to read and he's hot!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I was so engrossed in reading their progress that I was taken by surprise when I came to the plot twist part. That was wonderfully done and I actually felt bad for Liva. I also admire her courage and determination she showed. Out of Control actually touches on the topic of human trafficking and I think the author did a really good job in broaching the topic in the book to us without burdening us with information overload. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'd really recommend this book to anyone looking for a light romantic thriller read but then again, people may say that I'm biased because I'm fan of Sarah. No harm, just go read other reviews and get your own conclusion whether this book is worth reading. (And it totally is worth reading!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'm going to have to re-read this book again!</div>

...Searing, damp stones press into my cheek, squishing my other eye closed. I sit up, wiping the nasty grime off my face. The slickness of it makes me wince. God knows what it is. I try to take a deep breath, but fail. Breathing is a chore in the dense, blistering air. It feels like I'm inhaling globs of boiling water. I stand, allowing my limbs time to regain their balance. Suddenly, I'm running down a passageway without any light to guide me... Thousands of butterflies take flight in my stomach as a current of air swiftly engulfs me. I'm falling at a high rate of speed, like the dip in a roller coaster, minus the excitement and safety harnesses. I try to scream, but panic hijacks my voice. I hit the bottom hard, miraculously unscathed. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
I stand, wiping a sticky substance off my jeans. I try not to dwell on it. Lifting my arms, I extend them in front of me, searching for a doorway. My hands grope over the hundreds of clammy bricks surrounding me like the bottom of a well. In the loud silence, I hear my name, but Janie isn’t calling me. This voice is lower than a whisper, almost inaudible. Am I losing my mind? Confinement in closed quarters and pitch-black darkness have been known to do that. Again, I hear my name... Anna... It echoes off the tightly enclosed walls, and smacks my ears. It grows louder before abruptly stopping. A velvet voice soothes my sore ears, but makes me jump backwards. The back of my head rams the wall, forcing me to slink onto the ground. My muscles tense and my entire body begins to throb. I prop myself against the bricks, hoping it will cease. I attempt to fold my legs into my chest, but they rebel in pain. I focus my thoughts on survival, rather than the insects I know must be blanketing the ground...</blockquote>

Synopsis</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two worlds in danger.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Grand Witch behind bars.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A stunning Werewolf and a devilishly handsome Warlock’s pursuit for her affections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You think you have it bad? Grand Witch Anna Wolfe awakens to find herself imprisoned by Micah, the Prince of Darkness. Micah’s on a quest for world domination—and it’s not just the Netherworld that’s in danger. The human world is threatened as well. Now, it’s up to Anna to escape from Micah's clutches so she can locate The Scholars and an ancient book before both fall into the wrong hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a fiercely loyal Werewolf and immensely powerful Warlock by her side, what can go wrong? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot apparently. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If fighting off the Prince of Darkness wasn’t enough, Anna’s emotions are a whirlwind, as she battles between what fate demands and what she actually wants.</div>

...His magic continues its course through me, draining all of mine. I need to resist... to fight him. I have to do something before he has the chance to completely snuff me out or find The Scholars. My jaw clenches and my hands roll into tight balls. My shoulders tense, preparing myself for the upcoming battle. I focus all of my energy into stopping him. Bit by bit, my magic shoves its way past his like a bully on a schoolyard. His grip stiffens. A trickle of blood glides down the side of my forearm from his piercing fingernails. </blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
“Go ahead, Anna, fight me. I guarantee it will only hurt you more.” </blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
I throw every memory and emotion Micah has created or tarnished, tossing them into the raging furnace of hate burning inside of me. I slam my eyelids shut and Valen’s face pops inside my head. I need to get back to him. I squeeze my eyes tightly, channeling all the vigor I have, hoping to push Micah out. A fissure breaks right down the middle of his magic, allowing mine to explode to the surface. I feel his power retreat as mine conquers his. I flip my eyes open, stealing a glimpse of his face...</blockquote>

For those of you who don’t know, this city is an awesomely haunted place! This healthy paranormal addiction has provided me the motivation to write my first book, “I’ll Be Damned.” </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>A little magickal mischief never hurt anyone...</i><br />
<br />
Erik MacGregor, from a clan of ancient Scottish warlocks, isn't looking for love. After centuries, it's not even a consideration...until he moves in next door to Lydia Barratt. It's clear that the shy beauty wants nothing to do with him, but he's drawn to her nonetheless and determined to win her over.<br />
<br />
Lydia Barratt just wants to be left alone to grow flowers and make lotions in her old Victorian house. The last thing she needs is a demanding Scottish man meddling in her private life. Just because he's gorgeous and totally rocks a kilt doesn't mean she's going to fall for his seductive manner.<br />
<br />
But Erik won't give up and just as Lydia let's her guard down, his sister decides to get involved. Her little love potion prank goes terribly wrong, making Lydia the target of his sudden embarrassingly obsessive behavior. They'll have to find a way to pull Erik out of the spell fast when it becomes clear that Lydia has more than a lovesick warlock to worry about. Evil lurks within the shadows and it plans to use Lydia, alive or dead, to take out Erik and his clan for good.</div>

My breath was taken away by this book from all the constant snorting and laughing. Seriously, I really enjoyed reading this paranormal romance because what's there not to like? It has a serious female main character who knows what she wants and is not afraid to demand it, a hot guy in kilts professing his love with his loud and ear shattering and hilarious singing and the crazy sibling banters which thoroughly entertained me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These warlocks are a charming bunch. I find myself liking them within moments of reading about each individual character. I like the family dynamics portrayed in the MacGregor's family, you can easily feel their devotion and love for one another. Keep a look out for those siblings' pranks--they are crazy! And crazy makes it fun to read.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Besides the characters, I also enjoyed the author's writing style and there wasn't a lot of difficult to understand terms in the book. The ending was a happy one and I'm quite contented with that. If funny characters is what you look out for in paranormal romance reads, this may just be the book for you!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>You know that catchy song you keep hearing on the radio? It’s about you.</i><br />
<br />
Natalie Jamison has spent five years trying to forget the girl she was in high school: popular, pretty…and, okay, mean. Now in her twenties and living once again in her small town, she’s right back where she was: following Queen Bee Amber and keeping secrets from her best friend, Sarah.<br />
<br />
Secrets like Jack Moreland.<br />
<br />
Everyone knows Jack Moreland—his new album, Good Enough, is everywhere. He’s famous. Impossibly handsome. Completely untouchable. But what none of Natalie’s old clique knows is that in high school, Natalie and Jack fell in love. And their secret relationship was incredible, painful—and earth-shattering enough to inspire an entire album.<br />
<br />
Facing friends and enemies isn’t easy, but Natalie will go to great lengths to prove she is good enough—to her friends, to herself, and most of all, to the small-town boy turned worldwide heartthrob she never forgot.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My name is Kirsty. I was born in Hertfordshire, England. In 2000 I moved to Norfolk, it was there that I met my husband, Lee. Now, what can I say about Lee, apart from everyone should have one? He's my biggest supporter, and I wouldn't be where I am today without his encouragement and endless support. He is my inspiration behind most of my male leads, I always try to bring a little of him in somewhere, be it his kindness, selflessness, or just his ability to make me feel treasured.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2005, I was gifted with the birth of my son. He is, and always will be, the best thing I have ever done in my life. As you can probably tell, I'm a very proud mummy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have always been interested in writing, but after the birth of my son I accidentally came across an amateur writing site. After a couple of months of just reading on there, I finally plucked up the courage and posted one of my stories. I was shocked and overwhelmed by the support of readers on there and they gave me the confidence to get where I am today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In April 2012, I self-published my first novel 'The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window'. And in October 2012 I took the plunge again, publishing my second novel, 'Always You.'</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, if I had to sum myself up in one word, it would probably be 'daydreamer' – but unlike most of my school teachers, I don't necessarily view that as a bad thing. After all, I read somewhere once that books are like waking dreams....</div>

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Edwardian Script ITC; size: 48pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Excerpt 1</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was no longer any love between us; hell, we barely even tolerated each other at times. Sometimes I even struggled to remember what it was that I saw in him the first place. Usually I convinced myself that it was his looks that I fell for, though even those had lost their appeal to me because I knew he'd rather be off sleeping with other girls than me. Ours was a marriage of convenience, even though it was inconvenient most of the time. Another reason I was with him was because I didn't have the energy to find anyone else. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'd been young when we'd gotten together, merely seventeen, and I knew that the dating scene had moved on pretty rapidly since I was last a part of it. In my opinion, I was too old to be single again, so I'd just have to suffer and grin and bear it. Many women went through their lives in an unhappy marriage. I was no different to any of them. Not everyone found their Mr Darcy and lived happily ever after, some people just had to take what they could get and be thankful. Clearly I was one of those people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Edwardian Script ITC; size: 48pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Excerpt 2</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">I blinked a couple of times, trying to come back to reality because looking at him made me feel a little weird inside. Harrison. I'd heard of this guy. He was the one who was in business with Brandon. The two of them had both been made redundant from their advertising jobs last year and had decided to go into business together instead of looking for another job. Skye and Brandon had become extremely good friends with his guy over the last year, so I'd heard. I'd never personally met him, but now that I knew who he was, I knew to stay away. Harrison Baxter was a ladies' man and fancied himself as Bath's answer to James Bond, apparently.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the gorgeous stranger's eyebrows rose. "Married, really? Damn, all of the hot ones are always taken or gay. Why is that, do you think?" he mused, cocking his head to the side playfully.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His voice did funny things to my insides. I was lost for words. Nothing was coming out of my mouth at all, so I just looked back down at Evie who was nestled comfortably in my arms.<br />
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"You happily married?" he probed, stepping closer to me. The heat emanating from his body to mine was making me feel a little jittery and I couldn't stand still. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>No, not at all.</em> I gulped and nodded in answer to his question, trying to ignore the feelings of lust and want that were battling inside me. It was wrong for me to feel like this. I knew it was. I was married, and although Finn cheated on me occasionally, I would never do the same. "Happy married with a child," I confirmed, nodding. Only part of that sentence was a lie. I did, in fact, have a child – I had just never been happily married.</div>
