excerpt
 
Meet me at the diner, 5:30am, Monday. Bring hiking boots and a change of clothes.
For what felt like the one millionth time over the last twenty-four hours, I looked down at the text I sent Ryan in the waning darkness early Sunday morning.
I’ll be there was the only reply I’d gotten.
“Staring at the phone won’t make time move faster,” Britton mumbled as we watched the sun peak over the mountain while we waited for my ride.
“You are going straight to Tildy’s, right? She gave you the key?” I double checked with her, finally relinquishing my death grip on our cell phone and handing it to her as she produced a house key from a chain around her neck. “And I saved Ryan’s number on the phone so if anything happens, you will call me. Understand?”
“Yes, mother,” Britton joked, sarcastically, forcing me to suppress the shudder that wanted to wrack through my body at the comparison. “Oh, shit, Carrie,” she whispered in a pained voice. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay,” I waved her off as a large black Dodge Ram quad cab worked its way into the parking lot. Nerves I didn’t feel before started to collide in my stomach as I watched its approach. Was I ready for this? Could I handle it?
“No, it’s not, it’s just that you might only be gone a day, and you’re acting like I’ve never been alone before, and—”
“I get it, Brit,” I stopped her as the truck pulled into the empty spot beside us and Ryan jumped out, looking delicious in a pair of black cargo shorts and black fitted t-shirt. His brown hair looked like he’d just rolled out of bed.  I bit my lip at the sudden urge I had to plunge my fingers into it and mess it up even more. Preferably, it would be while he had his tongue down my throat.

Review: Drama Free 2003 by Josie Leigh

Drama Free 2003 (Drama Free #1) by Josie Leigh

Description:
Lucas "Lucy" Dunn is a slut, a party girl... At least that's how most people would describe her. She takes offense to the double standard that because she doesn't want a relationship, but has a rolodex of booty calls (well, three) that she must be easy. She's not, not even close. Lucas knows that if she didn't 'hit it and quit it' on a weekly basis, she'd never survive the stress of working and going to school full-time. Alcohol and orgasms are a wonderful stress relief combination, after all. Plus, any new relationship when she was still caught up with her high school sweetheart... well, they just weren't worth it.

Until one fateful New Year's Eve night...Lucas asks her friend, Brady Manning, to pretend to be her date for the evening so that she can let someone she doesn't want anymore down easy. She didn't count on feeling something for him. She didn't count on wanting to be with him. She didn't count on all the drama she was inviting into her life because she couldn't stop herself from falling in love again.

Brady Manning never expected to be divorced at 23, only seeing his daughter on the weekends, but one thing is for sure, he's learned the lesson that love is disastrous the hard way. It's something he never wanted in his life again. With a child in the mix, he has to be careful with who he lets into his life. Until one evening of make believe with his friend, Lucas, changes everything.


**Ends with a cliffhanger, but not regarding the relationship of the main couple.

My Thoughts:
There is nothing drama free about this book. Seems like everyone is sleeping with everyone else, they want to, or they have in the past. Lucas and Brady are casual friends until one New Year's Eve something shifts and they see each other differently. However, both have trust issues and neither thinks they are relationship material, though that's what they think it would take to be together. There is lots of partying and crazy friendships. A fun read. If you love lots of drama, you'll love this. The drama continues until the very end and I look forward to the next book to see where it goes.

My Rating: ****
Steam Factor: !!!!
*Notes: Partying, smoking, sleeping around, and lots of the f-word.

Review: The Weakness in Me by Josie Leigh

The Weakness in Me by Josie Leigh

Description:
Samantha and Jason have known each other since they were five. Their friendship turned to love that was supposed to last forever. However, betrayal ripped them apart just as they were getting ready to start their lives together.

Five years later, Jason comes face to face with his Sammy when he's called to the scene of a horrific accident. Seeing her bruised and battered awakens a love he knew he'd missed, but didn't know how much until he'd almost lost her.

Samantha is left to battle back from an accident that took away her husband and almost took her life. Facing her future as a single mother, Samantha allows Jason back into her life because she knows she needs help to create a new life without Caleb. As they begin to find their way back to each other, there are those waiting in the wings for the right moment to tear them apart again. Can Samantha find a way to trust Jason again after everything?

My Thoughts:
A lovely second chance love story with tragedy, secrets, frenemies, and a meddling parent. Childhood friends who later become engaged, they are torn apart by betrayal and Sammy moves on. But when tragedy strikes, Jason is there to help her pick up the pieces. He gives her the time she needs to get over her husband and helps take care of her baby daughter. Sweet and emotional with some humor, this is a wonderful romance.

My Rating: ****
Steam Factor: !!!!
*Notes: Some strong language.
