The township befriends her, she finds a job and a place to live, in a Boarding House, not realizing the other tenant is a Hot, Sexy ex-football player and model that is dealing with his own past issues.

Review: Mr. Goodnight


Mr. Goodnight
Mr. Goodnight by Benjamin Janey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Ben has penned an interesting short story with Mr. Goodnight.

Randall Scott is a good looking cab driver who has multiple personas due to his fascination with checking out women online. On any given day, he changes his profile according to the persona he wishes to display online after reading the women's profile of what kind of man they are looking for.

Randall has one rich cab client, Ms Black who makes him step his game up as she only wants a man who is financially secure. Randall knows she will not give him the time of the day since his wallet is lacking. After seeing she is all about the dollar bill, Randall comes up with a scheme of his own to swindle money and sex from her. Little do Randall know, Ms Black is coming up with her own scheme.

Will one of their plots backfire? You have to read this story to find out. It has sex, greed and suspense written all over it.

Great job Ben!

Review: Losing To Win


Losing To Win
Losing To Win by Michele Grant

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Clarissa Melody Wayne is a woman who has finally pieced her life back together after the abrupt and heartbreaking breakup with former NFL star Malachi Knight. Since that day, she refused to be in anyone's shadow and is now content with her life in Belle Haven, a small town in Louisiana that was damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

What started out as a normal day took a downhill spiral when the past comes to join Clarissa in an unlikely way. A weight loss competition reality show called Losing to Win. Not only has her past joined her front and centered but so has her ex-fiancé, Malachi.

Malachi is determined not to lose Clarissa this time around and he is willing to do whatever is necessary to show her he is a changed man and wants her to be a priority in his life. Little does he know, he has competition for Clarissa's heart.

When reality hits Malachi and Clarissa, will they be able to move towards a future together? Will Clarissa be willing to give Malachi another chance or does she have her eye on another man? Will Malachi and Clarissa come to grips to what separated them the first time?

You have to one click this amazing love story by Michele Grant to find out. It pulled at my heartstrings in so many ways as we all have had to deal with second chances and redemption. It is not always easy to forgive and forget when our heart has been put on the line. We can say what we will or won't do but in reality, you never know unless you are in that situation.

The author does a great job with character development especially with so many main characters to follow. You are given a sense of each one of them and their personalities. The plot is a made for television storyline. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Grant's works.

BLOG STOP: Playing for Love by Tia Kelly



Kenneth Wilkerson, baseball's MVP of breaking hearts isn't in Craymont looking for complications. With an injury that has him sidelined from the game he loves, and the latest scandal in his wake involving a woman who is very much engaged to someone else, the last thing he needs is to get mixed up with Paige Scott.

Paige Scott, a former party-girl, has a very murky past and even murkier relationship with Kenneth's best friend Carlos Ortiz. Paige knows Carlos watched her go from it girl to broken and when she finally healed, he made it clear to her that he would not step aside to let another man in just to do it again.

But Kenneth lets nothing stand between him and what he loves.
Love for the game… his family… and her.

PLAYING FOR LOVE is the first novel from the Wilkersons in Love series. Tia Kelly invites you to come meet the Wilkersons and get ready to fall in love.



Excerpt:

"Open the door, Paige," Kenneth demanded in between knocks.

He pulled up just in time to see her walk into her front door. His athlete’s reflexes were not enough to make it before she slammed it in his face.

Finally the door swung open. "I need you to leave."

Kenneth pushed himself inside and reached out to tilt her face upward. He felt the dampness on her skin and felt worse.

"I probably shouldn’t have left, but I didn’t know what to expect after last night."

Paige pulled back, wrapping her arms around herself. "You didn’t know? Or didn’t care."

Kenneth leaned against the wall and let his head fall back. "Paige, you were drunk."

"And that makes this better?"

"No, it doesn’t."

He looked at her while she took a seat at the bottom of her steps.

"Why did you do that?"

Paige looked away, chewing nervously on her lip while tugging at her shirtsleeve. "I don’t know."

"I think you do."

"Is that what you do? Psychoanalyze the women you sleep with the morning after?"

"Paige, I don’t have any regrets about last night except for one."

She looked up and searched his face to prepare her for what he was about to say. "And that is?"

"That I was the only one that actually wanted to be there."

Paige pulled back and stared at him. "You make it sound like I used you."

"Didn’t you?"

Paige huffed. "We have to work together until you’re released back to your team. I can’t have this conversation with you every time we cross paths."

"And you won’t." He stared back to her and sat on the staircase next to her. "Look at me, Paige."

She glanced up, releasing the edge of her sleeve. Her expectancy and uncertainty warned him that whatever he had to say, he needed to be careful in how he delivered it.

"Typically, I don’t care about what happens the morning after, but there’s something in your eyes that tells me last night was more than just a one nighter for you."

"What makes you think that?"

"Because last night scared me, too."
