Review of Damage by PJ Adams

Damage by P.J. Adams

Holly is a hard-working college student working several jobs trying to support herself and her dad. One day, for one of her jobs, she gets a housecleaning opportunity at the residence of the town's rich new resident, the reclusive Mr. Blunt. While Holly's first meeting with him doesn't give her the best impression, she agrees to work a steady schedule with him. During the midst of this, Holly's ex-boyfriend decides it's time to try to get her back. Working for Mr. Blunt ends abruptly amidst rumors and an unattainable attraction. Each time they run into each other tends to end in explosive results. The question is it enough to get him through his personal damage?

Having read several books by P.J. Adams I can say Holly is definitely one of the more unsure main characters she has written. Holly is independent and determined to survive and yet there is a vulnerability/insecurity in her that is not usually seen. I really enjoyed seeing a character with those characteristics as it made her very real and relatable. Mr. Blunt has gone through a tragedy that mirror's Holly's father's own experience. The shell he is currently living in doesn't exactly welcome the feelings he feels around Holly. Having gone through similar personal tragedy, I related to him on a personal level and felt very badly for him. I was happy that Holly's presence was able to start his healing process. 

There were a few minor questions I had at the end, but other than that, I loved it.

Review of The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne - 5 Stars!!

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Adam slept with Lisa, who was a married woman. Nathanial was Adam's only friend. Nathanial was the marina's manager. Sienna is renting a cottage with her best friend Lauren. Sienna had to re-edit her romance script. Sienna wasn't sure if she believed that love conquered all anymore. Even though he was a womanizer, Sienna was attracted to Adam. He was also attracted to her, but knew he should stay away. Sienna was naive as far as passionate experiences went and her ex-boyfriend made her question whether or not she was frigid. She was a kind, warm and loving person trying to get a little breathing room from her dad. She loved her dad and even understood.  I really loved her character and her defending of those she cared for. Adam had been messed up from a previous relationship and saw his ex-fiance's ghost a lot. He had affairs to take away the pain and loneliness and drank for the same reason. Howeve

Review of Ignited by Laurie Wetzel - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddy was dating an angel, MJ. MJ is a protector who has broken a lot of rules, but some he had to keep. MJ told Maddy she was his heart and he would fight before he would let anyone take her. Maddy had some special powers of her own. The characters were good, especially Maddy, who was overwhelmed with powers she couldn't control and the love she couldn't state and MJ. The plot was good as was the overall story. It dragged a little bit, but overall a good story. I recommend, although I didn't like the ending.

Review of The Wedding Reject Table by Angela Britnell

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maggie was at a wedding reception and at the reject table, met a handsome man named Chad Robertson. He was from Tennessee and he was an attorney. Maggie was a cake decorator and childhood friend of Fiona, the bride. Maggie and her sister Emily had formed Two Heart Catering two months before. Emily called Maggie away from Chad as the cake had been ruined. Maggie was the responsible and reliable half of the company. Emily was the creative cook. Chad was attracted to Maggie and recently he had decided he was bored. Emily is the drama queen, and even though she's younger, Maggie has been brought up to take care of her. Maggie is a very loyal and responsible person. She can be very caring and loving. She can also be stubborn at times. She was usually very sensible who learned to let go some and also found love. I liked her character. Chad was a charming Southern man. He was a good guy, kind and caring. He changed thro
