Falling into the Black by Lauren Runow
Four Stars
This story was good. Evangeline has lost everything. The boy she loved moved away to college and then her parents die in a car accident. She didn’t let that stop her from making something of herself. Running away was the only option and changing her name was the first step. Though she is far away from the pain it still gets to her in her dreams. Carter is a doctor with a mission. He knows he can’t save every child’s life but that won’t stop him from trying. He connects to his patients and gets to know them outside of the doctor and patient relationship. Carter’s and Evangeline’s love will test time and change. Will all be forgiven when so much went unsaid? Is 10 years too long to jump right back where they left off? Or will Cole come in and take Carter’s place. I don’t really enjoy love triangles because someone eventually gets hurt. At first I was like ok Cole is the hot teacher that gets her to open up and fall in love again. But then you have Carter who has been looking for his lost love for years. Who do you pick and why them? I was a fan of Coles until he pulled all his shady moves. I liked Carter because he truly loved her and was drowning in misery from the lose of her. I enjoyed their moments in the club together and was shocked that he allowed her to continue with his best friend. The author wrote the characters with back bone and intelligence. I hope to continue reading more from this author.

Merissa (13583 KP) rated Blood Debt (Touched, #1) in Books
Dec 17, 2018
In a genre gone mad about vampires and shifters - and yes, I love them too! - it makes such a nice change to read something that steps away from the 'norm' and takes a more unusual look at things. This is what Nancy Straight does with her Blood Debt. This is the first book so it has a lot of groundwork to do so that you know what is happening. Nancy does this whilst also making it seamlessly part of the story, so you pick up the details without even being aware of it.
The other thing that I have enjoyed as a stand-out in this book, is there is no love-triangle. Gasp, shock, horror! How on earth can a book make it without a love-triangle? Easy - make it a love-square instead!!! This was wonderful to read and there were some real LOL moments as Cami is fighting her guilt and Bianca is trying to encourage her without letting her know that she knows.
The family relationships were quirky and loveable, in most cases. Some were just downright weird. And in the middle of this, you've got Cami. She isn't sure who or what she is, why people seem to have high expectations of her and why she feels like she just isn't who they think she is. Out of her brothers, Beau is my favourite but of course, that's the way it's been written so far.
If you want to read a book about Centaurs, Greek mythology, fantasy then this is the book for you. Personally, I can't wait to get Book 2 and see what happens. There are 4 books in this series and Book 4 is due to be released at the end of January. Definitely recommended!

Always You by Krista Carleson
Genre: Short Story, Novella, Contemporary, Erotica
Synopsis: The army took my first love and left me with a broken heart. That was ten years ago, but fate has a funny sense of humor. Not only is Aidan Dowell my best friend’s older brother, he happens to be my new roommate: the one who chose duty over love- who I thought had left my life forever. Now that I have to live in the same apartment as Aidan, I try to avoid him and guard my heart, but it’s impossible when the person in question is one gorgeous, sexy billionaire. The pull is too strong. The heat between us is going to burn me again. Little did I know that Aidan has a painful secret that threatens to come between us and now I have to make a choice: Fight for him or refuse this second chance at love?
Audience/ Reading Level: High School+
Interests: Erotica, Novella, Short Stories, Best Friends Brother
Point of View: first person
Difficulty Reading: Short, simple, sweet with a lot of hot and steaminess.
Promise: A short yet compelling read that will leave you wanting just a bit more.
Insights: Writing was a bit amateurish but for being the style of book it is, it was a good read. Would recommend to others who like Eroticas.
Ah-Ha Moment: When the boy gets the girl he’s been in love with for the past ten years. And vice versa.
What will you gain: A simple yet refreshing read.
Aesthetics: It was cool to see a billionaire and his brother living together with Cat. But other than that, there was really anything that stood out that’s worth mentioning.
