THE TROUBLE WITH LOVE by Lauren Layne

This was a very fun read. The characters were just... and the story line was like.....I have so much to say but I don't know where to start.

Emma Sinclair is a survivor. After being left at the alter and betrayed by the people she loved, she left her town of  North Carolina and made over her image.

Emma trades her blushing bride-to-be persona, for that of the untouchable ice queen of the Manhattan dating scene.

She made new friends at the magazine she works at called Stiletto.  As much as she loves her friends, Emma never had the courage to tell them all that had happened back home and how it destroyed her at one point.

She has been keeping that secret for years until an assignment from work has her dredging up demons from her past.  Especially the sexy, no good, liar who left her at the alter who, as a twist, is her boss.

Having to give up his dreams of being a pro soccer player, Alex Cassidy hung up his cleats for good and decided to move on with his live.  Deciding on giving journalism a try, it was a coincidence that he happens to choose the same field, city and company as his ex-fiance. Right!

It's also weird that he was going to be her boss for a few months also.  Right!  Now it was just plain crazy that she happened to move in right across the hall from him in his building.  Alex can't deny it any longer, this has got to be faith. Right?  Wrong.  It was actually research and Alex can't help but wonder what could have been.

He gave her an assignment that was suppose to finally get a reaction out of her, but his plan back fired and now old feelings that he taught long dead are coming back.  The downside it that Emma wants nothing to do with him, but that just makes Alex want her more.

Would these two ever find a way to reconcile?  Find out in the fourth installment of the Sex, Love and Stiletto Series, The Trouble with Love.

(SQUELLLLSSSSSSS) Thank you so much Lauren Layne for this awe-inspiring book.  This story was a great testament to how their are usually two sides to a story. It takes two to tango and all those other metaphors.  When we hear that Alex left Emma at the alter, we automatically think of him in a bad light.  BUT, do we know the whole story?

Emma and Alex are desperately in love, yes I used present tense.  The hurt that has been with them did not really get the attention it needed to heal before it was frozen over with layers of ice.  When they met again they were polite as two strangers meeting each other for the first time.

This is a first.  There was no bad talking, snide remarks and shockingly no avoidance from the two.  If they saw each other, they did not go out of their way to avoid the other.  They simply past each other with a polite nod and be on their way.

As the story progressed I was always hungry for more.  I wanted to know what really happen since Alex and Emma seem to have a different point of view on the matter.  When it all came to light I cried, how could he? Not Alex, now you're wondering who, lol, read the book.


HAPPY READING!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel

CRASH AND BURN by Rachel Lacey

This book was not the usual Rachel Lacey book and I should know, I've actually read all of them.  This is a story I've not read before and it puts to light what your brain thinks about when you think that you're about to die. Isa Delgado is terrified of flying and now she has to step foot into her first ever plane ride to help a rescue dog that only responds to her. The rescue is a husky dog named Maya who likes to run away when things get rough.  This does not help Isa with her fear of flying but the hunk who was her pilot might help matters a bit. Take off was not so bad and it relaxed Isa to see Maya calm during the flight.  Just when she thought that flying might not be so bad, everything goes horribly wrong. Nate lives to fly.  He's been flying for as long as he can remember. That's why he did not foresee any problems in flying a lady and her dog to their destination. Things don't go as planned when in the middle of their flight, shit hit the fa
