By Mistake by Sigal Ehrlich

You've Got Mail meets Grey's Anatomy in this sweet slow-burn, virtual meet-cute romance.

There's so much going on in Anna's life. Teaching countless hours at the studio and nurturing the three major relationships of her life - her group of tight-knit friends, all while attempting to not screw up this whole adulthood thing leaves very little time to waste on yet another dating app. At this point, a relationship is off the menu. Being "self-partnered" is more than enough.

A serious relationship has been crossed off Liam Brody's list of goals, at least for the foreseeable future. Completing his residency and becoming a trauma surgeon is his only priority. Casual relationships, his friends, and books are the only things he's willing to lose his precious free time to.

When an accidental email starts a deep online connection, both Liam and Anna dive in with zero concern . . . because there's really no harm in getting close to someone who you'll never meet in real life, right?

Wrong.

When a turn of events brings their "safe" virtual connection to an unexpected face-to-face, Anna and Liam learn their online chemistry pales in comparison to the real deal. A realization that brings along the bazillion-dollar question - what do you do when you meet The One at the most impossibly wrong time?

** by Mist@ke is book 1 in a standalone series with connected characters, but independent storylines.

I haven't read such a cute and enjoyable story as this in a while! This is the first book I've read by Sigal Ehrlich and I really did not know what to expect. Anna and Liam are both living successful, career-driven lives and are, for the most part, content with their lives. When they mistakenly encounter each other, though, they both find that there may be something they never thought they were missing. Is love really something that just pops up in the most unexpected places at the worst/best possible time? I'll be honest, I did not have high expectations for a story that started off of a mis-directed email. Somehow, though, the author was able to run with it and turned a such a small, silly mistake to be a full-fledged romance. It had all the heart-warming feels but not heavy on the drama which was a nice change. It was a well written first book with a group of secondary characters that leave you wanting more. I liked the flow and the author's writing style and am definitely looking forward to the rest of the Poison & Wine series!

Excerpt

He clears his throat and the words just seem to escape from his mouth out of his control, “You’re something else.”

I don’t think anyone has ever looked at me the way he looks at me.

My heart, at this moment, is so much bigger than its designated space in my chest. It’s a million tons of moving mass, accelerating in all directions with the only thing that could stop it being this guy. It’s almost more that I can bear. I break the intensity by offering Liam one of the cupcakes which he happily takes. “Oh, wait.” I say as he attempts to take the first bite. I produce a candle from my bag and stick it in the middle of the cupcake. I communicate, “wait,” holding one finger up while searching my bag for the box of matches. Liam waits as told, his eyes caressing me, following my every move. “Here we go,” I say once the candle is properly lit. “Make a wish.”

And the intensity is back as he slowly tilts to blow on the candle, eyes locked with mine.

Now, what I don’t understand is what stupid game we are both playing and why we are on this bench instead of behind some janitor closet jumping each other like two crazy hyenas in heat, just like we clearly do in our minds? An enigma, really.

The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros

Twenty-eight-year-old Georgia Stanton has to start over after she gave up almost everything in a brutal divorce—the New York house, the friends, and her pride. Now back home at her late great-grandmother’s estate in Colorado, she finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing. He’s just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she’ll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he’s the one to finish her grandmother’s final novel…even if the publisher swears he’s the perfect fit.

Noah is at the pinnacle of his career. With book and movie deals galore, there isn’t much the “golden boy” of modern fiction hasn’t accomplished. But he can’t walk away from what might be the best book of the century—the one his idol, Scarlett Stanton, left unfinished. Coming up with a fitting ending for the legendary author is one thing, but dealing with her beautiful, stubborn, cynical great-granddaughter, Georgia, is quite another.

But as they read Scarlett’s words in both the manuscript and her box of letters, they start to realize why Scarlett never finished the book—it’s based on her real-life romance with a World War II pilot, and the ending isn’t a happy one. Georgia knows all too well that love never works out, and while the chemistry and connection between her and Noah is undeniable, she’s as determined as ever to learn from her great-grandmother’s mistakes—even if it means destroying Noah’s career.

Told in alternating timelines, THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED examines the risks we take for love, the scars too deep to heal, and the endings we can’t bring ourselves to see coming.

I had high expectations for this novel. Being a huge fan of Rebecca Yarros' Flight & Glory series, I did not expect any less than that smashing series. The Things We Leave Unfinished, however, proved to be just another level altogether. It was such an unexpected and unique way for two stories to be told. I've always known Rebecca to be magnificent at piecing together a gut-wrenching, heart-aching, tear-jerking page turner but just how she crafted Scarlett and Jameson's story to go hand in hand with Georgia and Noah's story simply blew my expectations out of the water. You get not only one, but, two tales, both with their own complex characters, twists and challenges. So not only are you turning the pages for one story, but you're constantly left wanting more of the other at the same time. You couldn't make me choose which one I loved more--the two were seamlessly intertwined together into, quite simply put, a masterpiece. 

Follow Me Under by Helen Hardt

 She gave him control in the bedroom. But is she losing control of her identity?

Dating Boston’s billionaire bachelor has opened up a new world for Skye Manning. Opportunities are suddenly everywhere, her new career is flourishing, and she experiences luxury she’s only seen in the pages of magazines. So why does she feel like she’s losing herself?

Braden Black never meant to fall for Skye, and he still tries to resist a relationship he knows he’s not wired for. But not only has Skye awoken something inside him—he’s stirring something dark and forbidden inside his Cinderella. Something even he can’t control…

The Follow Me series is best enjoyed in order.

Reading Order:

Book #1 Follow Me Darkly

Book #2 Follow Me Under

I read Follow Me Under as a standalone so I felt like I was walking into the story part way. It wasn't terrible but there were a few gaps. Skye has started a new chapter in her life. She's trying to make her own way and is struggling with maintaining the hold and control she wants in her life. On the otherhand, Braden seems to have finally found what he wants in his life in Skye. They seem to be on the same page in the bedroom but they're otherwise trying to figure each other out outside of those bedroom walls. This book is full of hot and steamy scenes and flows well and is easy to get through but I found myself flipping through some pages when it came to Skye's insecurities in her life and career path. I would read the other two novels in this series just to see if context will make me like Skye any more! Solid 3.5 stars.

Cover Reveal: Glitter by Abbi Glines

Lies, Deceit, Vengeance, Desire, and Hate…

wrapped up in a façade of all that sparkles and shines.

​

A pretty face, a fetching smile, a fabulous gown, a flutter of lashes at just the right moment – Miriam had been taught she must do all these things to land a wealthy husband. Much preferring the company of books to people, the only thing that stopped Miriam from fleeing to the countryside was her younger sister - who was counting on Miriam to make a match that would ensure she could care for her mother and sister properly.

​

​He knew his duty to his title and he would do as was necessary.

​

Although Hugh Compton, Earl of Ashington, hadn’t wanted his father’s title at the age of nine and twenty, he gained it two years ago when his father died unexpectedly. The only good that had come of that was Hugh had been able to move his father’s wife to the dowager house.

​

Now it was time to marry.

​

Many disliked the arrogant Earl of Ashington but none so much as his brother.

​

After his mother was sent off as if she were trash to be disposed of, Nathaniel swore he’d even the score. With the intent of charming the boring Lydia Ramsbury right out of his brother’s arms, Nathaniel discovered it was a new face that had captured his brother's attention - a one Miss Miriam Bathurst.

​

​Vengeance had never looked so sweet.
