Fate. 
Destiny. 
Whatever you wanted to call it, Macy Caldwell was mine.
She had a chance to get out of this town, but she refused to take it. 
She was going to give up everything for me. 
I wasn’t worth that kind of sacrifice.  
In order to save her, I had to break her. 


The night Nash Masters broke my heart was the catalyst for the ruin that came after. 
All these years later, he was fighting for my forgiveness.
He had no idea I was the one who needed his.
The truth didn’t always set you free. 
They said love conquered all, but this was war. 
And everything worth having was worth fighting for.

Reading a book written by K. Street certainly pulls out all the emotions. I’ve enjoyed all the books this talented author has written. When I heard that this book was being written, I couldn’t wait to hear what Nash and Macy’s story was.  How do you ever forgive someone who hurt you so bad all those years ago? You vowed to never forgive and to never forget. But as the years go on, and you are still thinking of that person. Is it time to move on and accept the things that happened that one night… Or is the secret you are hiding worse than what had happened back then.  Sometimes it takes talking to an outsider. Someone you feel truly listens to what you have to say…that wakes up the inner turmoil brewing… Finally making the decisions to speak up that has been haunting you for years.  I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. It was a quick read that flowed great.  



A beautiful second chance love story from the coffers of K street, which just tears at your heartstrings. It is simplistic in detail but deep in sentiments. A life interrupted and a story cut short. That's the precis of Nash Masters and Macy Caldwell love story. It just comes to an abrupt halt and a decade just yawns between them while they struggle alone with their respective lives. 
"A stone cast into the sea. The ripple effect far more reaching than a mind could grasp. That night had been the catalyst to the ruin that came after. What if … "



 They're both carrying heavy secrets that are tied around their necks like a stone, weighing them down, tying their tongues 
"The past was swathed in secrets and cloaked in guilt. Instead of trying to escape it, I used it as a shield. An excuse to push away not only Nash, but others as well. I had boarded up the walls of my broken heart. Yet here Nash stood, doing his damnedest to pry me open."  
Chance encounter in the hometown brings them face to face with their mistakes, their guilt and therein lies the path to forgiveness. 



 “And I miss you. I miss you so much, it hurts, and saying it out loud sounds so fucking ridiculous because you’re right here, but you’re untouchable.”  
Sensitive story written with matching tenderness, emotions are just flowing freely between the characters. 
There's a visit by Camryn, Tucker and shayna, who we met in Everything I Never Wanted. There's moments of joy, moments of grief, too hot moments of passion and a whole lotta moments of cuteness. The central vein though is heavily guilt ridden. Both blame each other and then themselves and do so with aggression 
It wasn’t my fault.  
It wasn’t.  
I can’t breathe.  
It wasn’t my fault.  
I. Can’t. Breathe. 



 And Nash beats himself to pulp too This was my fault. I tried to be the hero and ended up the villain.  
Go and pick up the book. Better still start with book 1, which is a also a standalone. 
4.5 stars for Bee and Monkey

[Release Blitz, GIVEAWAY & Book Reviews]: 💎 DEAR DIAMOND💎by Stephie Walls




Title: Dear Diamond
Author: Stephie Walls
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 19, 2018



Blurb

One unfortunate decision had bought me a life sentence, serving time alongside the gang I’d worked years to avoid. My affiliation with Union 21 had wreaked havoc all around me.

Then came Diamond.

In a world filled with neon-pink lights, glitter, and rhinestones, she was a flawless gem. While she didn’t realize her worth, I recognized her value—priceless.

I’d stop at nothing to have her, even if that meant going against the most powerful drug lord around.

Friends come and go, but Diamond is forever.

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎





Dacon, Illinois…you either love it there and grow up to be in the Union 21 working under the Silvano family…. or you live your entire life wanting to do good in school in hopes that one day you can move out of Dacon, Illinois.

Ryker has grown up being best friends with Chase, the second in line to take over Union 21. The Silvano family has treated Ryker like one of their own. Ryker had it all going for him, good grades, scholarship, etc. But one night being in the wrong place at the wrong time…changed his life forever. 

Nikki aka Diamond has been thrown under the bus and as a result of that she has found herself performing at Club Swank to pay off a debt she knew nothing about. 

This is a story about two people who desire to make a good life out of what’s been dealt to them…yet life keeps throwing them curve balls. It’s a roller coaster ride of emotions and some pretty steamy scenes. 

I really enjoyed this one. It was a quick paced smooth sailing book to read




The story just touches your soul and hopes for the characters to find love in a dismal place. 
Sensitively written, beautifully penned, characterizing love's power and tenacity to defy all odds. Against all written rules and loyalties, an unusual couple gets thrown together due to violent circumstances and is a testament that not all charming princes need a white steed. Some rescuers drive a Harley and are wearing an armour of tattoos. But they save damsels in distress for sure!!!

description

"I’d seen this neighborhood steal countless young lives and marry them with drugs, sex, and gangs. As lighthouses warned sailors away from rocks— Swank held the same power for devastation." 
Dacon, IL has projects like any big city and gang controlled areas. One such is Union 21 which controls the darkened streets and a neon lit, smoky club called the SWANK. Here the patrons come for strippers, sleazy shows and drugs. All the girls are there because they owe the Silvanos. Money, bodies and souls.

description

"He was dangerous. But our stars had aligned, and now, I had to trust him . My heart screamed yes. My head yelled no. In the end, intuition gave way to desire, and the remote possibility of a happily ever after outweighed the more distinct probability of a painful demise. Ryker twisted me into knots that I didn’t know could be tied. I’d become a bumbling idiot who blindly went into the lion’s den with a steak tied around my neck." 
Diamond -Nikki Wilson is one such innocent girl trapped in Jesse Silvanos cage and is forced to strip to save her mom. Silvanos owe Ryker Davis and he's ready to cash in. The path to salvation and freedom is not easy but they don't have any choice.

description

Ryker was a perfect Alpha, morally steadfast and very clear in his goals, not easily swayed he is a Protector! 
Instant attraction leads to heated skins and boiling lust. They get intimate after trying to resist the magnetic initial attraction. But hearts are entwined and skirting love becomes harder

description

“I’m not going to try to get in your pants.”
“Even if you wanted to, it would never happen,”
“If I wanted it, you wouldn’t want to resist it.”
 

I liked the characters and was so mad at Tabitha, I mean how could a mom do that!!! I'm thinking chase is not done with Ryker and hopefully more books will follow.
Enjoyable read with lots of unexpected turns and surprises along the way!

Release Date: September 26, 2018
Cover Design: Hart & Bailey Design Co.
 

Synopsis

 
Hannah
One minute we were a family of four—then, in the blink of an eye, half of my world was gone. Nearly two years after I received the phone call that changed my life forever, we’re living in a new town and facing new opportunities. All I want is to be a strong parent for my son and build a good life. I’m still fighting to figure out how to be okay. Falling for someone? Not in the cards for me. I had my happily ever after. Until he appears. One look from the ex-NFL player turned high school football coach brings my soul to life. But the man tests my patience with his arrogance. He knows how to manage his players and his students, but he needs a major ego adjustment. Every night when my eyes close, I tell myself there’s no way I’ll fall for Wyatt Hamilton, I can’t . . . he’s my son’s new coach. 
  Wyatt 
  She’s the last thing that I expected. But I’m drawn to her. When she stepped onto my field with her long sexy legs, arms covered in tiny geometric tattoos, dark hair and her perfect kissable lips—she stoked a fire inside me. I never dreamed that I’d feel that spark again. Hannah Richman understands my anguish and emotional turmoil, because she’s been through the same hell. Wanting her is taboo—forbidden. She’s the mother of one of my students. No matter how much I crave her . . . there’s no way I can have her, it would be inappropriate. We’re about to redefine that word.

Going through Hell is a hard road to travel. Coach Wyatt Hamilton and Hannah Richman can testify to this! Having lost more than anyone deserves to, they have managed to keep breathing and have started their lives over.

Hannah is a single mother of a 17 year old son. Living in a new town, starting a new job, wanting what’s best for her only child still living. Hopefully, with starting over in the new town, she will be able to make new friends and call this place home.

Coach Wyatt has been in the spotlight before. His NFL career took him everywhere with his wife and son. Earning championships and movie deals. But now, his life is so different. No wife…no child. Spending his days teaching High School history and coaching the High School football team is all his life is now.

When these two meet, it isn’t a nice meeting, that’s for sure. But a momma bear will always stick up for her little cub, right? Especially when it’s her only cub.

The payback to the way Wyatt was talked to, priceless!!! Someday I need to order a Denver Omelet after hours 😉

The inappropriate behavior between these two adults are fueling some of the town folk. The War is about to begin, who will come out on top?
Will it be the Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes or the Chocolate Brownie Cake???

Christy Pastore is always good for a good, solid, romance read! This one did not disappoint.




When your life just derails and the world as it seems comes to an end....where do broken hearts go.
They hopefully meet in bakery or the diner !
Lemon Raspberry cupcakes and chocolate brownie cake belong together #JustSaying 

description

Coach Wyatt Hamilton and Hannah Richman are such soul mirrors. Both had their loves of their lives torn away from them and they're lost. Chance brings them together and they both feel the flutter in their dormant hearts and the story enters into the forbidden zone. He's her son's teacher and coach so the line has been drwan on the field indelibly. But rules are meant to be broken all the time. 
"La vita è bella, la vita è amore."
"‘Life is beautiful, life is love.’”
 


description

And as it should be. When you find a person who gets you, believes you and loves all your broke pieces and holds you so tight that your pieces all start to stick together, you hold on to them. Through controversies, through turmoil, through family strifes, everything becomes secondary when heart finds true love
“I might be going down a dangerous road.” Wyatt pushed off the wall.
“You might, or it could be the ride of your life.”
 


description

Well you gotta take chances, that leap and hope you land on your feet!
I love that the couple is older and mature. The writing is so full of emotions and passion. 
I enjoyed reading it
