A 425 Madison Book
Bianca
Handsome husband—check.
Beautiful house—check.
Wonderful life...I could never put a check next to this.
Through it all, I longed for a different life. With a man I had called my best friend. A man who is not my husband.
When the unspeakable happens and I’m left alone, its Mick who is there to pick me up.
Mick
Not everything is meant to be.
Watching the woman who owned my heart start a life with someone else - broke me to the core.
But time goes on and I try too.
Until one phone call changes both our lives.
She could have been taken from me forever. Instead, a tragic accident takes away the only man I thought ever made her happy.
When she starts over again, in my city, in my home; sharing slivers of her story with me it's then that I learn not everything is as it appears.
None of this matters though, when I’ve been given a second chance to prove we’re meant to be.
After all, 425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love.

Courtney Baker is ready to put small town life—and the man she can’t have—behind her. Years of secretly crushing on her best friend’s older brother have led nowhere and she’s finally ready to move on. It would have been a great plan had she not drunkenly blurted out all her feelings and kissed him. At least she’ll be able to forget all about it when she leaves town in less than 48 hours.
It takes a lot to surprise Dean Jones, but a kiss from the girl he’s been secretly attracted to for years does just that. All it takes it one kiss for him to realize he doesn’t want to let her go. But she’s his sister’s best friend and that’s a line he knows he should never cross. Never mind that she seems determined to leave their small town—and him—behind.
When a storm and a broken car stop Courtney from leaving town, Dean sees perfect opportunity to get her out of his system. But can one night ever be enough?

The Wild One (Corisi Billionaires #2) by: Ruth Cardello
Instant heat or slow simmering. With those Romano men, you never know what to expect. Sebastian was a brooding mass of contradictions and Mauricio is a charmer with his own brand of baggage to work through. Well played, Ruth Cardello. The Corisi Billionaires series is turning out to be a beautiful surprise. There's always a twist you never saw coming and a few familiar faces litter the canvas from more than one fabulous Cardello series. Two lost souls find themselves in the city of love. Mauricio and Wren will take emotions on a magical escapade that ranges from instant lust to soulful yearning and oh, so much more. Cardello aims high and has yet to miss the mark when it comes to stealing hearts.

REVIEW: HOT SHOT (AMERICAN ROYALTY) BY ROBIN BIELMAN
Hot Shot by Robin Bielman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bielman is a favorite of mine because she holds nothing back. Her stories are all heart. Why should Hot Shot be any different? Drew and Alejandra leap right off the page and into your heart. He's a charmer. She's at a crossroads. Neither can let go of the connection they share, but something is holding her back. Never one to be deterred, Drew has a secret weapon that lights up the canvas with her saucy personality and mischievous ways. Rosemary is the the real deal when it comes to investing your heart. Romance reeled me in, but it was Drew's grandma that stole the show.
