Albert Camus

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Putting the pain behind them is no longer an option. - A Father's Fight (Fighting #5) by J.B. Salsbury

18+ "With Blake and Layla newly engaged and expecting a baby on the way, you’d think they’d be clear of their worries. Boy, are they so wrong!
Author J.B. Salsbury doesn’t throw in any over the top gimmicks and plot devices in this fifth installment. It’s pretty stripped down to basic human values of love, family, forgiveness, sacrifice, and the lengths you will go to protect them." - Goodreads

Loving him is a losing battle - Contractual by Alice Montalvo-Tribue

18+"Another amazing novel by this talented writer! Every single novel that I have read by this author has not let me know. Contractual was yet again another example of just how fantastic all her work is. I was hooked from the moment I began to read and could not put it down. Finished it in one sitting, a little upset actually that it came to an end. It is a story about love, survival and second chances."- Goodreads

Darkness has a seductive power - Malevolent (Darkness #1) by Cassia Brightmore

18++ Cover Reveal - “You think you can push me like that and I won’t respond?” [...] “You’re mine. I won’t share you, and I’ll be damned if I let anything happen to you, Gwyn. The sooner you get it through your head that I own you now, the better.” [...] This man and his fierce possessiveness of her awakened a darkness in her she didn’t know existed."

The truth is in the evidence - Over the Line (Adirondack Pack 0.5) by K.C. Stewart

Cover Reveal- Someone in the pack isn’t who they say they are. It isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last that Tyson has to rid the pack of a spy. These are the people he calls his friends and family and one of them is lying to him.

When is enough, enough? - Make Me Forget by Brandy Lynn

Cover Reveal - "Just hearing the word 'sweetheart' makes me cringe. That term is not a term of endearment for me. It brings back memories. Memories that I don’t want unleashed and demons that I don’t want chasing me. I’ve spent years ridding myself of those dark times and I do not want to go backwards."

She must face her secrets…before they destroy her - Naked by Stacey Trombley

Cover Reveal - Now she has a chance to be normal again. Back in school, she meets a boy who seems too good to be true. Cute, kind, trusting. But what will he do when he finds out the truth about her past?

A new dare is taking shape - Stupid Boy (Stupid in Love #2) by Cindy Miles

I looked at him then, taken back by how his voice washed over me and made my skin tingle. I forced myself to breathe; I wasn’t used to being in this kind of situation. Guys just didn’t go out of their way to talk to me. I made sure of it. But I didn’t balk. I mean, after all—Kane was my potential reformation Dare. Right? Murphy’s words rushed back to me. Reform the barmy beast! I breathed. Smiled. Pretended.

A twisting, panic-filled journey through the secretive corridors of power - Nothing Left Sacred by Daniel Diehl

"NOTHING LEFT SACRED was an interesting, thoughtful read. The title was written by Daniel Diehl and his accomplishments and awards are outlined in the book. He is known as an author, writer and investigative historian. [...]
I liked the writing style of Mr. Diehl. Reading period literature (fiction or nonfiction) can often be quite an uphill slog, but NOTHING LEFT SACRED was extremely readable without digressing to a lower quality level." - Amazon

I refuse to care too much - Aflame (Fall Away #3.5) by Penelope Douglas

Cover Reveal -
From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Bully, Until You, Rival, and Falling Away comes the sizzling conclusion to the Fall Away series.

Kissing, self-discovery, a sexy bad guy, and some running - Isla's Oath (Isla's Inheritance #2) by Cassandra Page

“I was thinking about getting this as a present for your dad, to thank him for paying for the trip.” He held the object out to show me, a lump vaguely shaped like a curvy woman with her arms together above her head.
I squeaked and leaped back, my shoulder thumping into a hanging wind chime. Wooden tubes clanked furiously. [...]
The sculpture was iron. And I’d nearly taken it from him.
"

Will have you on the edge of your seat - Dreamer by Phillip L. Davidson

Cover Reveal - "I simply call it dreams. For a while they had gone away, now they were back. This time they were worse because I was beginning to lose grip on what was a dream and what was reality. Just like an angel Sunny was there to help me through them - that made me love her more."

Cover Reveal: Rekindled Desires is a touching love story of second chances and new beginnings. Can two vastly different people forget their rules and take a chance at love? Fans of Deborah Bladon are sure to love this sweet tale set on a beautiful, Caribbean island.

If they don’t work together, they may be torn apart... - Savage Bytes (Hacked Investigations #2) by Sarah Mäkelä

"The clientele so far had kept them busy, with common requests that involved backtracking various network intrusions to their point of origin and leaving the rest to the customers. Others required mundane tasks such as verifying the authenticity of gray-market implants and other upgrades not sold in broad daylight."

Love. Devotion. Dishonest. Lethal. - Hell's Ink (Forever Inked #2) by Nicole Reed

18+ "I loved both Beautiful Ink and Hell’s Ink. Each story has a lot going on but it makes for an extreme and harsh ride. I could not put either book down because each scene made me want more. (I also want Mikey to get more, too!!) I definitely recommend these two stories." - Goodreads

Her greatest dream has turned into her biggest nightmare - The Queen's Gift by T.R. Allardice

"I hate those three little words. All they do is remind me of just how common I am. No offense to humans. They’re born as Commons. They don’t know any differently. I do. And I’m reminded every night when I sit down for dinner with my Preternatural family just how much being common sucks."

Action, adventure, and sizzling romance - Desire Disguised (Love Under a New Star #2) by Lynn Rae

"The anger popped in her head in a burst of red light, and all the years of fear, the stress that never let up fueled her rage as she lifted her hands fully intending to shove at Ben’s broad chest with all her might. “You don’t know what you’re talking about. I have to be hard on him or he’ll—we’ll die.” "

“’til death do us part” - Wedding Cake (A Culinary Mystery #12) by Josi S. Kilpack

"At the top of the stairs Sadie pulled out her pick set and got to work. Apparently, picking a lock wasn’t as much like riding a bike as one might think; Sadie felt as though she were all thumbs and the summer heat didn’t help as the sun at her back made her increasingly uncomfortable. She finally got the lock on the doorknob undone but then let out a breath of frustration when she realized the deadbolt was engaged as well."
