Eight years ago, Matilda Kent got her heart broken from her first and only love, Tanner Stone. The once carefree and smart mouth Matilda is now guarded when it comes to dating and love. And so when she was assigned to do an six-serial feature editorial, Matilda should be ecstatic as this would be her big break but the feature was on Tanner Stone, Australian Rugby Captain of the Sydney Smoke.

“That old Tilly was still in there, he was sure of it. She was just hiding, buried beneath a shit-ton of hurt, and he hated knowing he was, at least partially, responsible. The thought needled like prickles on sunburn. He had to try and make amends somehow. If he’d broken her, wasn’t it his responsibility to fix her? To coax her out from behind that wall so she could smile again— could be happy within herself and shine bright for the whole damn world to see?”
Tanner Stone let Matilda Kent walk away from him eight years ago because he didn’t want her to give up on her dreams. This was the secret he kept to himself all these years because he would rather be brokenhearted than see the girl he loves throw away her dreams so she could follow him in his dreams to play rugby. Tanner made a choice to let her go so she can go to Stanford and doesn’t regret that one bit but it seems Matilda thinks he let her go because he didn’t love her enough. Now that he finally has a chance to make things right with Matilda, she doesn’t want anything to do with him but just get this interview over with. And so Tanner will go out of his way to show his Tilly that he is the right and only man for her. Will Tanner be able to prove to Tilly that this is #definitelylove?
[image]
“That’s what he wanted. To love her again. But she didn’t look in any kind of mood to be throwing that out there. He had some more making up to do.”
Seriously, Tanner Stone is book boyfriend material. He was sweet, kind, humble and has a big heart especially when it comes to Tilly. Tanner reminds us all that love is not easy. Sometimes love entails sacrifices and letting go. And for Tanner, he wouldn’t change a thing because he didn’t want to be the reason for Tilly to give up her dreams in writing and going to Stanford. Like I said earlier, Amy Andrews has scored major points in my book for writing a lovable hero who has won reader’s hearts for his humility, sacrifice, and sweet personality. #TannerStoneForTheWin.

“Her mouth devoured his. Or maybe his devoured hers. Matilda wasn’t keeping score. She just hung on to those big shoulders, opened her mouth, and gave him everything she had, demanding the same in return.”
As sweet and amazing Tanner is, I loved the banter and Twitter status updates that was incorporated into the story line. I loved that Amy Andrews was able to weave a second chance romance via Twitter and #Hashtags. The hashtags were cute, fresh and added a modern touch which allowed readers to feel Tanner’s celebrity status as we get to see the friendly banter exchanges between Matilda and Tanner. I think it’s best that I end this review with a personal tweet.

“ This was a true story. I was legitimately addicted to a woman I couldn’t have . . . not to mention she didn’t want me.”
Sometime last year, I read this book called Verite and loved it and so immediately, I had to google up who is this Rachel Blaufeld. And sure enough, my obsession for her books didn’t stop after I fell head over heels in love with her Crossroad Series. I thought nothing could top my love for the Crossroad Series but I was wrong. Rachel Blaufeld has truly outdone herself with her latest release, To See You.
[image]
“What is it about this guy? On paper, he’s one hundred percent wrong for me. His e-mails are equal parts annoying and funny. Okay, more funny than annoying. More like refreshing. Different. Exciting. But as I stand next to him now, he’s giving me head-to-toe tingles, and I find myself dwelling on his e-mails. ”
Rachel Blaufeld if you are reading this review. I want to say that I see you. (fyi- not in that stalkerish way..lol) I see how talented you are as an author. I see that you write all your stories full of heart and raw emotions. And I see that you continue to make me a fan of your books. And most importantly, I see that you wrote one of my favorite summer reads of 2016.
[image]
“What was Layton doing to me? I met the guy on a plane in a down time in my life, and despite the fact that I wasn’t nice to him, he pursued me through e-mail. I had to be the dumbest girl in America despite all my academic and business success.”
Do you believe in kismet? Meeting a stranger and knowing that this person could be someone? A friend maybe? Or even a lover? A soul mate? Well To See You by Rachel Blaufeld explores that theme of kismet and meant to be. But what happens when you judge a person based on their appearance? Will you base your judgement on logic or heart? And so Ms. Blaufeld will bring forth a story that weaves kismet, destiny, fate, coincidences or whatever you like to call them into the forefront of how we see strangers.
[image]
“With him, I could be the socially awkward girl who was way too ahead of herself, but was afraid to admit it.”
Have you ever judge a person by their appearance? I know I have in the past and I am very ashamed of that. And so Ms. Blaufeld will take her readers down a journey where readers will sit back and truly see how hurtful it can be. When Charli Richards boarded on her flight back to New York, she never thought the stranger sitting next to her could be the one. For one, he was not her type. He was big and is everything what her friends and mother would not consider ideal. But for some strange reason, Layton Griffin made her feel normal and special.
[image]
“Charli, I’ve wanted to date you since you sat down in seat 2C. Are you not catching on to that? It’s still me, Layton, and I’m still desperately trying to woo you. There may have been dates but there’s been zero wooing. Only hoping for you.”
Charli is not perfect. For one, she is kind of a snob. She judges people and makes assumptions. Simply, she was a bitch in the first half of the book. But for some reason, Layton Griffin didn’t see Charli as that. He saw a woman that he likes and wants to get to know. So when Layton sends her an email, they soon begin to form an online friendship. As much as Charli enjoys getting emails and talking to Layton, she puts a halt to any chance starting a romantic relationship. Charli would remind herself that Layton is not the guy that she should be with.
Being the nice guy, Layton would still email and check up on her. And when he finally started to break down her walls, Charli would once again distance herself and leave Layton hanging. Will Charli finally see Layton? Truly see him not just as a friend but see him as something more?
[image]
“Girl meets boy and she doesn’t really see him; boy meets girl and she’s all he can see.”
I have so much love for Rachel Blaufeld for writing To See You. Seriously, I love this book so much. Not only was Layton Griffin book husband material but I love the message of this book. I love that Ms. Blaufeld showcased a story that was utterly raw and stripped it’s characters bare allowing readers to see their imperfections, flaws, and vulnerabilities. This book truly took the message to see. To see that we should not judge a person. To see that our imperfections makes us perfect. To see that no one can make you happy unless you learn how to be happy. And most importantly, to see that fate has a funny way of bringing people together. All there is left to say, go fall in love with Rachel Blaufeld’s beautiful and heartfelt prose and see a beautiful love story in the making. To every Charli out there in the world, I hope you will find and see your very own Layton Griffin. In the meantime, Rachel Blaufeld I am claiming Layton all to myself. <3

Katherine in Gold by J.B. Hartnett was a sweet, sexy, and beautiful book that dealt with complex, flawed, and real characters who manages to capture our hearts with their past. What I loved about this book was that Ms. Hartnett showcased two people finding love and healing. For Katherine, her broken heart and the walls that she built up were slowly crumbling when she meets Holst. Holst was just perfection. He was sweet, beautiful, and protective of Katherine. He made her see that she was worthy of love and slowly he made her see how special she was to him. So will Katherine embrace this love? Or will she run?
“For me, my Katherine, it was your heart. The day in the bridal shop, standing that that dress…I discovered treasure…I knew in that moment, I’d found treasure. You were my Katherine in gold.”
If you are looking for a sweet palpable and breathtaking beautiful romance then I highly suggest you to read Katherine in Gold. Hearts will melt and swoon as Holst reminds us all that fairy tales do exists. As always, Ms. Hartnett will take her readers on one beautiful journey with tangible emotions. A must read for any romance aficionado!!!

When you find someone whom you are completely in love with, the only thing that you ARC provided by an author in exchange for an honest review

When you find someone whom you are completely in love with, the only thing that you can do is hold on to them. So what happens when the person you want to hold onto is afraid to love again? Do you let them go? Or do you remind them that nothing from their past or mistakes can tear you away from holding onto that little piece of hope and love you know exists in their heart?
Hold On To Me by Lucia Franco is a story that is composed of so many elements. It is a story of love, loss, letting go, healing, hope, understanding and learning to trust and love again. But the most important underlying theme in this story is the message of learning to let love in and accepting that you are worthy to be loved. In this case, it is about a love that is so deep, passionate, raw, palpable, and tangible. A kind of love that will leave you raw, emotional, and vulnerable to the core. A love that is worth holding onto and fighting for.
Alyssa Winters is the new girl, who recently moved to Georgia with her mother. She is the California beauty that caught the eye of a sweet-talking Southern boy, John Jackson. Throughout her life, Alyssa knew what it was liked to be abandoned and not wanted since she didn't grew up in a loving household. But that all that changes when she meets and befriend Johnny. Johnny is what everything Alyssa wanted. His simple touch and smile evoked such a burning passion inside her. Johnny showed her what it means to truly LOVE. He showed her the possibility of forever. But what happens when a tragic event rocks Johnny and Alyssa, will they be able to salvage their relationship? Or will he push Alyssa away? Or will she be the one pushing away after one reckless night?
Is love enough to heal the broken hearts? Are there enough words to repair a heart that is tired and broken? When hearts are getting torn from mistakes, can you trust the person to catch you when you fall? The simply act of saying you love me...is that enough? For Alyssa and Johnny, their story was a true emotional journey that will pull all the heartstrings. It is a journey of letting go and accepting the NOW. Accepting that the heart wants what it wants. And for Johnny, he wants Alyssa. For him, she has been the one since the first time he laid eyes on her. She was made for him and he was made for her. No matter of what the past may hold, he knows his future is with Alyssa.
The chemistry between Johnny and Alyssa can only be described as RAW. It is the kind of relationship that can cut you to the core and tug all heartstrings. It is the kind of love that can't be extinguished. The flames may flicker but nothing can stop the burning passion and love they have for one another. Hold On To Me is the kind of slow burn romance that will break your heart to pieces but slowly Ms. Franco will glue all the pieces back together.
Johnny was the heart and soul of this book. I absolutely loved him and his conviction of never giving up and losing hope. He was the driving force for me holding onto the belief that this is the kind of LOVE every romance aficionado craves, wants, needs and desires for. It is a love built on truth and conviction. A love that is unwavering. A love worth holding onto.
So if you are looking for a book where you are immersed with FEELINGS then I highly recommend you to read this book. Ms. Franco truly takes you on a journey of one woman's struggle with loss, hurt, and doubts and a man who is willing to fill her heart with nothing but true love and devotion. So if you are looking for a book where you are reminded that the best thing to hold onto in life is each other then go read Hold On To Me by Lucia Franco. Ms. Franco will give you a reason why love is worth holding onto.

Boy meets girl. Girl thinks boy is an arrogant man whore. Boy is attracted and intrigued by her feisty, sassy, and sexy personality. A poker bet lands boy winning a date with girl. But girl doesn't want to be associated with boy and be another notch on his bed post. So begins the quest for Shep Prescott as he tries to cash in on his date with Jade Frost. Can this so-called womanizer who doesn't believe in love and settling done, change his mind and throw out his own rules when it comes to the matters of the heart? When the stakes are high, will Shep Prescott lay out his deck of cards and take the biggest risk and bet of his life...love?
Jade Frost is not your typical shy heroine but a feisty, sassy 19 year old freshman. Her fiery red hair, freckles, and outspoken personality was what sparked Shep Prescott to take noticed of her. He never met a girl who didn't instantly fall for his charm and looks. But when a poker bet lands him winning a date with Jade, all his personal rules of non-commitment goes out the window because he finally met the girl who was the real game changer.
Jade and Shep's dynamic relationship was a fun, sexy, and steamy love affair. It seems to be true when they say opposites attract because although they have different personalities, Jade and Shep seem to be a perfect fit for each other. Their relationship was simply an awakening for these two because they both weren't looking for love and suddenly these two found themselves falling for each other. When these new feelings begins to emerge, will it scare Shep and have him running away? Or will Shep stop finally stop running and admit that Jade is his one and only?
I absolutely adored and loved Fair Game by Monica Murphy. I think this book might be my favorite book that I have read from her. This book left me swooning and falling hard for Shep Prescott. I love that Ms. Murphy has written such a sweet, fun love story that will it will give you those butterfly feelings. So if you are looking for a book that will have you discovering your new book boyfriend and give you that warm fuzzy feeling, then I highly recommend Fair Game by Monica Murphy.

You know you are officially obsessed and addicted with Harper Sloan's writing when immediately after finishing Bleeding Love, you practically inhaled and devoured six book of the Corps Security series in two days. Yes, and that's what I did and have no regrets about it.
Bleeding Love by Harper Sloan can only be summed up as breathtakingly beautiful. This book stole my heart immediately from the opening pages and I could not put this book down. Bleeding Love was everything that I could ask for. It was a gripping, beautiful, and touching tale of second chances and love.
I honestly don't want to spoil anything for the readers because this book must be savored, read and experienced. But I will just say this Ms. Harper wrote an epic beautiful tale of love and starting over. The love story of Megan and Liam was raw, passionate, tangible, and palpable. It was a love story that made you believe in happily ever afters. A love that was unforgettable. I laughed, cried, swooned, cried again, and fell in loved with Megan, Molly and Liam.
Liam Beckett was just perfection. He needs to be put on a pedastal because he was swoon-worthy and the ideal book boyfriend. Forget book boyfriend because Liam is book husband material. He was caring, understanding, patient, and had a heart of gold. He understood the emotional turmoil of Megan and her loss of losing of her husband and best friend, Jack. And what I loved about this book, Liam accepted that Jack will always be part of Megan and Molly. There was no jealousy but just pure honest love. Liam Beckett alone is enough justification to read this book.
The raw emotions and beautiful heartwarming tale of second chances was so tangible throughout Bleeding Love. I loved every facet and elements that Ms. Harper incorporated into this book. The characters were fun, lively, real, and honest. The writing was addicting and beautifully well done. And for any romance junkie, Bleeding Love has every elements that I crave and want from humor, love, friendship, raw emotions, lovable characters, and lastly but not least a swoon-worthy hero. So if you are looking for a book that can break your heart and slowly mend and piece back the pieces, then Bleeding Love is the book for you.

The life of a single mother changed when she met the HOT GUY at the gym who practically swept off her feet. This "hot guy at gym" aka Decker Brand was everything that April was attracted to. He was sweet, funny, and sexy as sin.

Decker's life revolves on his work, family and of course his baby girl, Charlie. So when Decker meets the sexy and beautiful April, this single dad makes it his mission to make April his. As Decker and April enter into this new relationship, they try to learn on how to balance and take into account of their kids.

Strictly Addicting!!! Yes, that’s what comes into my mind when I think of Ella Fox’s newest release, Strictly Temporary. I practically devoured this book in one sitting and loved it. This was the first book that I have read from the talented Ella Fox and it surely won’t be my last. As I was reading Strictly Temporary, I was instantly hooked with all the characters and yes I had to one-click Ms. Fox’s Hart Box Set Series because I needed more books to read from Ella Fox.
Strictly Temporary was an emotional, heartbreaking, sexy, and swoon-worthy book. From the prologue to the last page, Ms. Fox will have you consumed with a storyline that was beautifully delivered and written. Ella has an ability to allow readers to feel. To feel the emotional pain, hurt, vulnerability, anger, and love. I was truly mesmerized and invested in getting to know the characters since all her characters felt so real.
Arden Winger was the Small Towne girl, who wanted to escape her small town of small-minded people. Judged and picked on, all Arden wanted to do was to be left alone. She was in her own bubble where she was temporarily content but that bubble was to burst when a popular boy from her hometown tried to pursue her. Letting her guard down, she let him into her heart and little did she know, it was just a game and bet for him and his friends. Soon Arden found herself naked, humiliated and taunted. Her virginity taken and made a fool. Trust was stolen. A heart was shattered.
Exton Xavier Alexander is the sexy alpha male of Hollywood. Limelight, fame, rumors and women constantly surrounds Exton. He is believed to be a playboy and whose rise of notoriety is this sex tape that’s been circulating in the public. But like all things Hollywood, things can be a facade and rumors tend to be exaggerated. For Exton, he was never against love till it was staring straight at him. Arden was it for Exton from the moment he laid his eyes on her. And once, he finally convinced Arden to let him in, he made sure to never let her go and this thing thats going on between them isn’t going to be temporary but forever. Can Arden finally let Exton see her vulnerability and open her heart again to trust? Or will her past come shattering down and destroying any chance of happiness? Can this city boy rescue this small town girl?
Strictly Temporary is hands down a must read!!!! This book will have you craving and wanting more of Exton Alexander. Ella Fox, you have made me a fan and I’m slapping my forehead in not reading your books any sooner. Well that won’t be a problem any more, because Ms. Fox, I am now one-clicking any book that you write. If you want swoon-worthy and panty-melting, alpha hero, then I highly suggest you meet Exton Alexander. He will make your heart go pitter-pat when he constantly tells his girl thats she’s the one. His love and devotion to Arden will touch your heart and have you saying AWWW!! You gotta love a man who knows what he wants and I know what I want. Simply, I want more Exton Alexander. So Ms. Ella Fox, please hurry and release book 2 soon because I am dying to know what’s going to happen next with Exton and Arden.

The Fire & Ice series concludes and wraps up in its final installment of our beloved hockey ARC provided by author in exchange of honest review

The Fire & Ice series concludes and wraps up in its final installment of our beloved hockey players in the fifth and final book, Release. And Brenda Rothert not only deliver a book of perfection but she did it with so much grace and beauty. She will capture your attention with her eloquent, emotional, raw and heartwarming tale of Samara Cross and Orion Caldwell. In this breathtaking conclusion, Ms. Rothert will make your heart go pitter-patter for Orion and fall in love with the beauty of a love so simple and pure. Release will make you realize it’s not about finding love, but letting love find you. And in this beautiful tale, it will remind us all love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it. So be prepared as Brenda Rothert makes us see there is a reason why it’s called falling in love because you just fall.
It’s the off-season and Orion Caldwell heads back home to his hometown to spend time with his family. On the ice, Orion is known as the enforcer and the man to be feared for his defensive skills but once the uniform is off, he is the perfect gentleman. Unlike the previous male characters of the Fire & Ice Series, Orion is not your standard dirty-talking, dominant, and alpha male. I can only describe Orion as perfect. He is the perfect balance of sweet, caring, loving, and protective. Simply, he is the perfect book boyfriend. Back home, Orion wants to spend quality time with his niece and nephew. He is a family man and believes in loyalty, respect and love. He is a one woman kind of guy and doesn’t date or fool around. So when Orion heads to a local market, he didn’t expect to be enchanted with the woman behind the checkout. One look at her, he knew he wanted her because she had a beauty that affected him.
Samara Cross is not your typical heroine. She is shy, scared, and a little apprehensive when it comes to trust and giving away her heart. Samara’s past childhood and past abusive relationship has caused her to be wary of men. So when the hot NHL hockey player, takes notice of Samara, she wonders why her when there are tons of beautiful women for Orion Caldwell to take notice on. But through Orion’s persistence, he was able to worm his way into Samara’s life. And soon she finds herself letting go of the walls that she has built. Orion’s light shines bright and cast away any darkness in her life. For the first time in her life, she found someone who sees the beauty in her scars and pasts.
They say when you meet the love of your life times stops...well, that's true, when it comes to Orion and Samara. As romance fanatics, we love that happily ever after ending. But maybe its not about the happy ending. Maybe it’s about the story. And for Orion and Samara, their story is about a love so pure, true, honest, raw, and passionate. It’s a love that reminds us don’t look for someone who will solve all your problems but look for someone who won’t let you face them alone. And Orion and Samara were that couple.
Release is hands down my favorite of the series. This book was an absolute gem to read. Every sensual kiss, touch, and words spoke will spellbind you and make you fall in love. The beauty of this book was that it incorporated family, friends, brotherhood, sacrifices, and finding love and strength. So I want to thank Brenda Rothert for bringing life to these beloved characters that I cherish and have fallen in love with.

There are certain authors that are an instant one-click and must read and Abbi Glines happens to be one of those author for me. I can still remember the first time I fell in love with the Rosemary Beach Series. How could I forget my first introduction to Rush, Woods, Grant, Jace and Tripp. From the first book Fallen Too Far and now in her newest release, You Were Mine, Ms. Glines has put us under a magical spell that has her readers falling in love with these beloved characters. The Rosemary Beach Series has evolved to a series that showcases first love, second chances, forgiveness, family, friendship,, letting go, loss and most importantly LOVE. And in You Were Mine, all these elements were beautifully integrated into the storyline that will leave you breathless. Love can tear you apart. Love can hurt. But most importantly, love can heal. And Tripp and Bethy will show us the meaning of love, forgiveness and what it really means to truly belong to someone's heart, mind, body and soul.
“This is mine. It always was. You were mine then, and you’re mine now.”
In You Were Mine, we finally get to learn the story of Tripp and Bethy. And what a beautiful, heartbreaking and touching story it was. From the first page to the last page, Ms. Glines will have your feeling raw from how vulnerable and captivating these characters are. Reminders of the past can be a blessing or a curse. It can remind you of happy times and at the same time painful ones. In You Were Mine, we learn of Tripp and Bethy’s first love romance. The meeting of two teens falling in love was simply beautiful. The love that these two will touch your heart from every word and actions evoked.The chemistry and bond they had were so palpable that you felt that they were indeed two jigsaw puzzle pieces. Pieces that took years for them to finally get their perfect fit. It might have took 8 years for them to get there second chance at life and love, but the journey was so worth it. You Were Mine is a story that must be read and experience. A journey of finding love, losing love, and finding it again. All I can say is that Bethy and Tripp’s journey took my heart, twisted it around, tore it to pieces and slowly taped it back together.

Where The Road Takes Me by Jay McLean was breathtakingly beautiful. I am just in awe on how much I loved this book. Honestly, I will never look at red pens the same again. I want to experience an infinity of red-letter days and paint the world in red. Ms. McLean completely spellbinded me with her beautiful, heartfelt, touching, and emotional storytelling. This book was so raw that I am experiencing every range of emotions right now. A book that makes you FEEL and leaves you raw is a book that you will remember and Where The Road Takes Me is a book that will stay with me. It is a story that took my heart, broke my heart, tore it into pieces, and then slowly taped it back together.
I honestly don’t want to say much in this review because this book needs to be experienced. Where The Road Takes Me is a story that makes you really reflect on your life. We all know that life is not perfect. It is not black and white. Life is about choices. And sometimes there are things in life we can’t control like sickness and death. But in life the one red ink that everyone tries to attain is LOVE. A love that is so pure, honest, and real. A love that gives you HOPE. A love that HEALS. A love worth experiencing. A love that is unforgettable. And the best kind of love is a LOVE that is UNEXPECTED. Ms. McLean takes her readers on a journey of friendship, healing, forgiveness, love and life. So if you are looking for a book that will make you FEEL then this book is for you. This is not your typical romance story..This is a story of finding LOVE, HOPE, and LIVING. A story that reminds us WE ALL NEED RED-LETTER DAYS!!!!
As readers we often read books to escape the daily grind of our busy lives. And when we read romance novels, we are taken to place where we can escape and read a modern sexy version of fairytales whether it be prince charming, hot billionaire, bad boys, dominant alpha males, military heroes, bikers, and the list goes on... but if you really think about it, the realistic book boyfriends can be found in the simple sweet boy next door. And that book boyfriend is none other than Tessa Teevan's Jeremy Banks of Fusion.
I am a big big fan of Tessa and her alpha military heroes especially Knox Wellington. I thought there could be no one who can top him but I was wrong. JEREMY BANKS beats Knox hands down. Jeremy may not have the sexy smoldering appeal that we fell in love with Knox but he has the charisma, charm, humor, and heart of gold to steal your hearts. He is a man who can steal your heart and have you swooning with an "I love you." Jeremy Banks in not book boyfriend material...HE IS BOOK HUSBAND MATERIAL.
Jeremy Banks and his beautiful wife, Sierra were first introduced in Tessa Teevan's debut book, Ignite. In those few snippets of Jeremy and Sierra, I loved this couple. I remember messaging Tessa saying "OMG this couple is the cutest thing ever." And when she informed that she was finally going to write Jeremy and Sierra a book, I was over the moon ecstatic. Luckily, I was fortunate to beta read this couple and **ahem** bug Tessa for new updates on Fusion. And as I was reading weekly updates, this couple stole my heart. I was officially smitten with this couple. And I think Tessa can attest to that fact with our chat messages.
What made Fusion stood out for me, was how Tessa written and told their story. She made this book light, funny, raw, honest,playful and most importantly kept it true to Jeremy and Sierra's personality. I loved how Tessa didn't detract and kept the focused on them. This was indeed a story of growing up, falling in love, and staying in love. I'm not going to say this book is all hearts and flowers, but I will just say that Tessa Teevan was able to tug those emotional heartstrings that every relationship goes through from the good and bad.Tessa Teevan captured her readers hearts through her gorgeous prose and raw characters. If she wanted us to remember the Banks family, she did that and more.
The story of Jeremy and Sierra Banks was your feel good kind of book. The book that makes you believe what TRUE LOVE is all about. I loved getting swept away in their fairytale romance. Jeremy and Sierra were what you called your fated lovers and soul mates. From childhood best friends to lovers. I don't think I can do this book justice by rehashing and telling you what Fusion is about. But what I can tell you is that Tessa Teevan DELIVERED. She delivered a story that was sweet, raw, emotional, touching, playful, fun and sexy. She made readers fall in love with the boy who could have your hearts fluttering with his charming personality. This book made me laugh out loud, swooned, fall in love, and most importantly, it captured my heart. The reason why I fell in loved with the story was how real, fun, and raw this book was. Jeremy Banks may not be a super elite broody alpha male soldier, but instead he showed readers what it takes to fight for love through his words and actions. So if you are looking for a book that will holds your heart hostage, then be prepared to get spellbound in Tessa Teevan's phenomenal book, Fusion.
