ALWAYS ON MY MIND by Jill Shalvis

Leah Sullivan is a perfectionist who surprisingly never finishes anything and runs away from her problems; which is really weird since perfectionist always want to achieve everything they set out to do and drive their family and friends crazy with their OCDness. 

Jack Harper is a hard working firefighter who finds himself cast in his deceased father shadow, always feeling like he has to work harder and go down in a blaze of glory, just like his dad did.  Seeing his mother fall apart after his dad’s death, Jack swore never to get involved in any series relationships to avoid the emotional pain his job can and will cause.

Jack and Leah have been friends since childhood and they come up with this plot of pretending that they are in a relationship to make his mother feel better and to stop worrying about Jack and just focusing on getting better , but the plot came a little too serious for the both of them to handle.

They tried starting a relationship in the past but someone over taught about it and ran to escape the possibility of failure.  Both going through some emotional trauma and to stubborn to listen to reason and seek help, would their insecurities keep them from having a happily ever after?

Wow, ok I do not totally understand how Leah could develop a complex like hers, isn’t she supposed to be a total control freak and scraping anything that does not look perfect to her and isn’t Jack supposed to be resentful to his dad for dying and trying everything in his power not to be like him?  But then again what do I know, I am not a psychologist.
I’m just happy it all worked out in the end (like every book does), with its own unique ending and that +Jill Shalvis  painted a picture of two emotionally handicapped people falling in love.

AT THE DUKE'S PLEASURE by Tracey Anne Warren

All the books I choose are like a yo-yo, first one disappoints me and then the next one makes up for it. I'm still in my "trying something new" phase and even with the disappointments in some books, I'm loving trying new authors.  At the Duke's Pleasure is an awesome read that will have you laughing. Edward Byron, Duke of Clybourne, has had his life planned out since the day he was born.  What school he had to attend, the friends he was to keep and worst of all, what bride he was to take.  This was too much for a boy of ten to take and he rebelled (quietly) against having a bride, ten years his junior.  Now Edward is in his early thirty's and finally saw the wisdom of his father choosing a bride for him, but when he goes to claim his bride, would she have him? Claire Marsden has always known that she was to marry a Duke and has been excited about the marriage until her heart was broken at the tender age of sixteen. To further add insult to injury, her...
