The Love of a Bibliophile

​JUNK MAIL

About the Book
It all started with a sexy selfie.
 
Texted to the wrong number.
 
Oops.
 
Not my finest moment—but I have nothing to be ashamed of.
 
She thought I was no better, and I quote, than the knuckle-dragging douche-bags she was never dating again.
 
It was a stupid dare from a girl I’d met online, but since she’d given me a fake number, I didn’t feel bad that my interests were suddenly focused elsewhere—on the fiery and sharp-tongued, Peyton that I found myself sparring with over text for the rest of the evening.
 
The following day, my case of mistaken identity came back to bite me in the banana.
 
When I strolled into the office, I was introduced to Peyton as the new client I needed to win over. The Peyton , in case you're not tracking.
 
And let’s just say she had my full attention.
 
Brains? Check.
 
Beauty? Oh yeah.
 
And the best part? She hated me on sight.
 
Dear God, do I love a challenge.
 
Let the games begin.

“Let’s get down to the nuts and bolts of this, shall we?”

Nuts?

Seriously, Hanson? Of all the words in the English language, you choose nuts?
But hey, on the plus side, she hasn’t seen the boys, just their leader.

Even so, I need to keep this meeting above the belt, including my own damn thoughts. I offer Peyton another apologetic smile. Time to get this deal back on track.

“Want to tell me more about your company?”

“I do. I really do.”

Her tone shifts instantly when she mentions her business, making me even more keen to hear her pitch.

I smile. A perfect, professional smile, as I cross my legs and fold my hands in my lap. I’m a motherfucking gentleman, not a junk-shot-sending caveman. “I want to hear all about it, Peyton.”

The only way to get past this mixup is to focus on business.

Not on her pretty face.

Not on those gorgeous eyes.

And definitely not on that dark hair I want to wrap around my fist and yank on it hard.
​
Four fucking months . . . that’s what’s wrong with my libido. It’s not operating in its normal overdrive. No, today, it’s at fucking warp speed. This is what happens when your own hand becomes your closest companion.

An Accidental Date with a Billionaire
by Diane Alberts

Synopsis

Samantha Taylor turned her back on her wealthy family to focus on social work. Those who know her think she’s the heart of kindness. Those who know her really well know she’s in a never-ending battle to make up for the harm her family’s companies inflict on the world. Which is how she finds herself at a charity bachelor auction of all places.

But oops, she was supposed to bid on her bff’s brother as a favor and accidentally bid on the wrong guy. Sue her for not being able to tell one stick-in-the-mud CEO from another.

Backstage, she goes to tell him not to worry about having to go through with a date or anything, but the oafish billionaire cuts her off dismissively. Looks her up and down, hands her a card with his assistant’s contact details, and reminds her that sex is definitely off the table.

Oh, she’ll call the assistant all right and have her make sure he wears jeans and comfortable shoes and to pick her up at seven a.m. The only “hammering” this guy is going to be doing is at Habitat for Humanity.
​
Too bad he turns out to be nothing like she expected.

Review

This is the first work I read by Diane Alberts and it will not be the last. Granted, if you are the kind of reader that cannot CANNOT suspend some disbelief, first of all, why are you reading romance, and two, get over it. The truth is that no, it's not a good idea to do A LOT of the things Sam lets herself do in this story, but you gotta put all that to the side and really pay attention to what the story is saying. 

This story was sexy. SEXY. Steamy. Lovely. There is no denying any of that, but what I enjoyed the most was Alberts' way of creating flaws in her characters - real flaws. The hesitation and downright inability to trust, and the stubbornness to the point of OCD-ness of wanting to remain in control of EVERYTHING. These are real honest-to-heaven flaws that humans have to live with and Alberts' allows her characters to have them (and so much more, really). The absolute cherry on top for me (aka my FAVORITE THING) was *SPOILER OMG DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU* that Taylor was able to throw caution to the wind with Sam and be able to live in the moment instead of having every moment planned and counted for. He was able to BE PRESENT and strive towards having what he wants instead of believing he doesn't love or need love or want love. It was truly a wonderful transformation to read about. Yes, I liked Sam to an extent, but Taylor was the character I most enjoyed and found myself being so proud of.

Read this and enjoy my dear readers.

Rainy Days with Amanda

We Were Beautiful
by Heather Hepler

Synopsis

The trace amount of alcohol in her bloodstream. The tremendous amount of guilt on her shoulders. A severely scarred face that is a daily reminder of the car crash that killed her sister. But when Mia finally pieces together her memories of the night Rachel died, the shocking truth might be as jarring as the crunch of metal.


It’s been a year since fifteen-year-old Mia Hopkins was in a car crash that killed her older sister, Rachel, and left her own face terribly scarred. The doctors tell her she was lucky to survive. Her therapist says it will take time to heal. The police reports claim there were trace amounts of alcohol in her bloodstream. But no matter how much she tries to reconstruct the events of that fateful night, Mia’s memory is spotty at best. She’s left with accusations, rumors, and guilt so powerful it is quickly consuming her.

As the rest of Mia’s family struggles with their own grief, Mia is sent to New York City to spend the summer with a grandmother she’s never met. All Mia wants to do is hide from the world, but instead she’s stuck with a summer job in the bustling kitchens of the café down the street. There she meets Fig—blue-haired, friendly, and vivacious—who takes Mia under her wing. As Mia gets to know Fig and her friends—including Cooper, the artistic boy who’s always on Mia’s mind—she realizes that she’s not the only one with a painful past.

Over the summer, Mia starts to learn that redemption isn’t as impossible as she once thought, but her scars inside run deep and aren’t nearly so simple to heal … especially when Mia finally pieces together her memories of the awful night Rachel died.

We Were Beautiful is:

• A unique coming of age story about tragedy, forgiveness, and love
• Written by acclaimed, award-winning author Heather Hepler
• Perfect for fans of Robyn Schneider and Justina Chen.
• A poignant, clean YA romance unafraid to explore serious contemporary life issues

Review

I have always been intrigued by the concept of grief. I have felt some strands of it myself, but I have not, thankfully, lost anyone extremely close to me yet. We Were Beautiful is a lovely book that is focused on the process of grief of Mia, a 15 y/o girl who has lost her sister in a car accident. It has left her scarred, both on the outside and the inside, and she is left with the guilt of being the one who lived. 
Mia is sent to the city to visit her grandmother - a grandmother she has not met before. Mia is met with a variety of things and events to get used to and learn to work with. The hardest part of grief is, of course, having to move on when your loved one cannot. This is something that Mia is living through and the character and situation is written so well that we are taken right along with her. 
Grief is a scary emotion. It is engulfing and necessary. I was so happy to read this book that has provided a temporary moment for us to live through someone's grief. The writing is beautiful and I came to care very much for the characters. It may be slow moving for some, but I think it was necessary for the subject of the story. Pick it up - I don't think you'll be disappointed.
