SYNOPSIS

Brandon: Sabrina was my childhood friend. My first crush. My first mistake was leaving her behind. I had crushed her heart, unaware of the feelings she harbored for me. And twenty years is a long time to hold onto that grief. Now I’m back in Seattle and like fate has it, we meet again.
She might not have been my first kiss or love but I want her to be my soul-mate. My life partner.I might never be able to get over my first love, but I want Sabrina to complete me and be my new beginning.
I wish to be her knight in shining armor, saving her from the shackles of a broken marriage. A real father for her daughter, Clara.
But I have fucked up too many times in the past. She won’t trust me with her heart again. I can come close to being her friend but nothing more….
When have I ever given up, though? I try not to play unfair this time, but with Linden guiding me with his twisted antics (He stole my first love – My Gem from me or maybe it was me who first tried to snatch her from him – either way Gem is his now and he’s just returning the favor), I might actually make Sabrina fall for me.
As Brandon, I can just be her best friend, but as ‘Scott’ (Her anonymous on-line friend), I will gain her trust and woo her. No matter whom she chooses, she will end up with me and I will be everything she wants and asks for.
Twisted Connections is a Spin-Off of Love Connection Series. Every book in Twisted Connections can be read as a standalone. (It’s NOT necessary to read Love Connection Series before reading this book)

My Thoughts and Review:
This is a very interesting second chance romance.  Brandon runs into his childhood best friend/ childhood crush after many years have past and doesn't recognize her.  He does however feel a strong pull towards her, wants to get know her, and feels like he needs her in his life.  Sabrina remembers Brandon, and has followed his career, and knows his reputation.  She is still hurt from the way he just dropped off the face of the earth, and isn't sure she wants him even as a friend.  In this book we join Brandon in his not necessarily smart plan to win Sabrina's heart, and follow Sabrina as she learns to open her heart again after a terrible marriage. With amazing characters, this is an enjoyable book. 4 out of 5 stars from me.

Cover Reveal: Through His Eyes by Nikki Ash

Title: Through His Eyes
Author: Nikki Ash
Genre: Single Mom Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 7, 2019 Cover Design: Jersey Girl Designs Photographer: Taylor Alexander Models: Chantel & Cody Mackie
The moment I saw her walk through the door of Forbidden Ink, I knew she was the one. With her wide hips, thick thighs, and perfect breasts, she’s every man’s wet dream. 
Add to that her dark, soulful eyes, pouty lips, and a body covered in gorgeous art, and I knew I needed to make her mine. 
She’s a walking contradiction of sass and strength and determination, hidden by insecurity and self-doubt. She’s everything I could ever want or need, but she doesn’t see what I see. 
I want to take away her pain. To be the one to make her laugh, to make all her dreams come true. I need to prove to her that I’m not him, that no matter what, I’ll be right there beside her. Loving her.
If only she could see herself through my eyes, she would understand we were made for each other.

Claire You know that thing about what happens in paradise, stays in paradise? Yeah, no. You know that other thing about first impressions? Check this out: Tall. Broad shoulders. Fine butt. No manners. All work, no play reflecting in those big brown eyes. You know that thing about keeping your hands to yourself? I should keep my mind on the sun, sand, and tequila. But it’s Cancun, and when Mr. Annoying turns on the charm...I can’t resist. You know that crucial thing about never sleeping with your boss’s boss? Yeah. Too late. That promotion that I was a shoo-in for? History. If it’s the last thing I do, I’ll make Miller regret making me his competition. But I can’t stop thinking about that thing about keeping your enemies closer… Miller Between a troublesome client and my fake-girlfriend-for-my-sister’s-Cancun-wedding canceling at the last minute. I’m having the day from hell. Then I spot Claire. Sexy. Smart. Sassy. So one of my superstar employees is boarding the same plane. With her help, I could kill two problems with one tequila shot. That thing about never mixing business with pleasure? I should’ve remembered. Now the hottest one-night stand I’ve ever had is my biggest business rival. We’re after the same client. I’m after her heart. The trick is how to win one without losing the other. Because when love has you by the balls, it’s time to play dirty.

Review Tour: Room 553 by Brittney King

Title: Room 553
Author: Britney King
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Release Date: June 20, 2019

“𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘯𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥. 𝘐𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦.”
For Max and Laurel, nothing is off limits when they meet in room 553. Their illicit affair is exhilarating, passionate—and dangerous. 
Driven as much by compulsion as pleasure, Max can't stop. His mistress is Jesus on the streets, and Satan in the sack. But when things take a sharp and sudden turn for the worse, he finds himself ensnared in a trap of his own making. 
Under heavy scrutiny by the police and the media, Max is hailed as a cold and evasive womanizer. He made mistakes, to be sure. But does that make him a killer?
Unnerving and addictive, Room 553 is a vivid and sensual psychological thriller that weaves a story of cruelty, reckless desire, and blind, bloody justice.
Britney King lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, children, two dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.
When she's not wrangling the things mentioned above, she writes psychological, domestic and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.
Currently, she's writing three series and several standalone novels.
The Bedrock Series features an unlikely heroine who should have known better. Turns out, she didn’t. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy, dangerous, forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on revenge. The series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female, and Basic Instinct.
The Water Series follows the shady love story of an unconventional married couple—he’s an assassin—she kills for fun. It has been compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.
Around The Bend is a heart-pounding standalone, which traces the journey of a well-to-do suburban housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks to the secrets she keeps. If she were the only one with things she wanted to keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn’t have turned out so bad. But she wasn’t.
The With You Series at its core is a deep love story about unlikely friends who travel the world; trying to find themselves, together and apart. Packed with drama and adventure along with a heavy dose of suspense, it has been compared to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.
The Social Affair is an intense standalone about a timeless couple who find themselves with a secret admirer they hadn’t bargained for. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, the novel explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience. It is reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and Play Misty For Me. 
Without a doubt, connecting with readers is the best part of this gig. You can find Britney online here:

My Thoughts and Review:

This was a neat take on a thriller. Told from two points of view. One a man talking to a psychiatrist while in jail for a murder. The other POV is his former lover's journal. There were several interesting and unexpected twist. I enjoyed this book.
