Two single
parents and three adorable kids are about to have a summer they'll never forget
in this sexy, heartwarming new novel of the New York Times bestselling
series.
Following the sudden death of his wife, Nathan Bell spent
nearly two years burying himself in work and neglecting his biggest
responsibility: his daughter. Overcome with guilt, he wants to connect with
little Marley, but he doesn't know how to do it alone. And then Jenna Savage
throws him a lifeline.
A single mom of twins, Jenna is more than capable of taking
care of Nathan's adorable two-year-old and wants to help Nathan however she
can. As the days go by and her attraction to Nathan grows, she can't help
wondering what might happen if they became a family for real. And the closer
everyone becomes, the more right it feels.
Falling in love forces Nathan to face his biggest fear, and
when hearts -- both big and little -- are on the line, the only thing scarier
than needing Jenna and her kids so much is losing them all.

I have to confess it's been so long since I read the first few of these books. Then I had to wait for the next book in the series and I lost track of the releases. But when I read the blurb for this I knew I had to have it right now.
I was prepared for heartbreak and devastation from the first page. But for the first half of the book I was in this happy, cute fluff story that had a really sad backstory. And I figured I was going to be alright reading this without tissues.
Then the past came back to haunt them and I was caught up in Nathan's point of view and his reasoning for everything and his feelings for Jenna. And I was okay because I knew everything was going to work out in the end. Then bam we went to Jennas point of view and I was a blubbering mess.
The kids in this story were on point for their ages, which I loved. And they felt as much a part of the story as Nathan and Jenna were, which absolutely made the story for me.
I really loved the writing and the story. I wish I had had the time to read the book before this one but not because it was necessary to this book but just because my little book loving brain knows it was meant to. And because I loved this one and the earlier ones I am going to have to bump it up on my TBR.
But now I am off to obsess over how perfectly this book pulled all of the feels out of me.

Excerpt
Marley kept whining. She stomped her foot and shook her head at her father when he held out a stuffed giraffe. Nate swapped it out for a book, turning to a page and pointing at one of the pictures. She wasn’t interested. Marley fell back onto her butt as tears hit her cheeks. Her legs kicked against the floor with fury.
Nate pinched his eyes shut, ran a hand through his hair, and looked down at her. He appeared lost, and possibly on the brink of a melt-down himself.
He was overwhelmed, that was clear.
“Has she eaten dinner? Maybe she’s hungry,” I said, walking over to the play yard. On instinct, I bent over the gate and held out my arms. I wanted to soothe her somehow. I at least wanted to try. I hated seeing this sweet thing so upset.
Marley immediately stood up and came to me. When I got her on my hip, she settled down and played with the chain around my neck again.
“I don’t know what she is,” Nate replied. He held up his glasses and rubbed at his eyes. “I guess she could be hungry.”
“If you want, I can take her out there and she can eat with us. It’s just me and my kids.”
“Really?”
“Sure. What does she like off the menu?”
He looked at Marley, thinking hard on that question. “Normal two-year-old stuff?” Our gazes met. I saw the embarrassment in his eyes before he looked down and away. “Sorry. I really don’t know what she likes. I haven’t spent much time with her.” He gripped the back of his neck, mumbling, “I’m sure that’s obvious right now.”
His shame was palpable.
Something about the way Nate spoke, the humiliation in his voice, the rejection—he wanted to know his daughter. He wanted to have the answer to any question I could ask him about her, and he didn’t know how.
Everything inside me that made me who I was, wanted to help him.

HIT THE SPOT
(Dirty Deeds #2)
By J. Daniels
December
6, 2016
Is
this love or just a game?
Tori Rivera thinks Jamie McCade is
rude, arrogant, and worst of all . . . the sexiest man she's ever laid eyes on.
His reputation as a player is almost as legendary as his surfing skills. No
matter how her body heats up when he's around, she's determined not to be
another meaningless hookup.
Jamie McCade always gets what he wants.
The sickest wave. The hottest women. And Tori, with her long legs and smart
mouth, is definitely the hottest one. He knows Tori wants him-hell, most women
do-but she won't admit it. After months of chasing and one unforgettable kiss,
it's time for Jamie to raise the stakes.
Jamie promises that soon Tori won't
just want him in her bed, she'll be begging for it-and he might be right.
Somehow he's found the spot in her heart that makes her open up like never
before. But with all she knows about his past, can she really trust what's
happening between them? Is Jamie playing for keeps or just playing to win?
This book can be read as a stand-alone.

EXCERPT
Hammerjacks was dimly lit and packed with
bodies, some dancing together and others crowding the bar, waiting to get
served. I started scanning the room as I came up beside Tori, who was doing the
same even though she had no idea who she was looking for.
I saw Quinn almost instantly. She wasn’t
hard to spot.
The bright pink spiked-out hair helped with
that.
“There,” I said, pointing in the direction
of the bar where my sister was sitting on a stool, head turned away from the
group of shitheads swarming her.
She was alone. That pissed me off.
She was here, in town visiting, and she was
looking for ass. That pissed me off, too.
Not much I could do about the second thing,
I understood it, but she was gonna hear my feelings toward the other whether
she wanted to hear them or not.
“What’s her name again?” Tori asked as we
made our way over.
“Quinn,” I said.
She nodded, face serious. Then she tucked
stray pieces of hair behind her ears and smoothed out the rest of her pony,
pulled the one sleeve of her shirt down so it exposed her shoulder and bra
strap, straightened her spine, tipped her chin up, and put on a smile before
rushing ahead.
“Hey, sweetie. Sorry I’m late,” Tori
chirped, squeezing in between my sister and the shitheads as if they weren’t
standing there. She grabbed Quinn’s face, bent down, and kissed her cheek. “I
missed you. Did you miss me?” she asked, bringing both hands to Quinn’s neck
and holding there while standing between her bent knees.
Tori was smiling and playing the part,
leaning close and making it seem like they were really together, or at least
really feeling each other. My sister was blinking up at Tori, looking baffled
but also looking like she was wanting to buy everything Legs was selling.
I wasn’t surprised. Quinn shared my taste
in women. And I definitely had a taste for Legs.
“Whoa, are you two…damn. Is this your
girl?” one of the shitheads asked from behind Tori, pointing at the back of
her.
“Jesus,” another one chimed in, looking his
fill. “What are the chances of me watchin’ you two go at it? This is fuckin’
hot.”
I stepped up then, not liking the tone of
this guy and the shit coming out of his mouth, and wanting to make my presence
known.
He saw me approach and shot me a hard look,
asking, “You gotta problem?”
“Jamie.”
Teeth clenched and fists forming, I looked
to Quinn, not taking the bait he was throwing out.
She was watching me, eyes serious and mouth
tight, subtly shaking her head in warning ’cause she knew I couldn’t be
fighting or doing anything that could draw negative attention. Then she turned
her attention onto Tori when she twisted and slid into Quinn’s lap.
“Fishing in the wrong pond, boys,” Tori
informed them, sweeping her gaze over the three while putting her arm around
Quinn’s shoulders and pressing close. “Get lost. We’re not interested.” Then
she turned all of her attention onto my sister and amped up her game, giggling
as she kept her face close to hers and running her fingers through her hair,
smiling, whispering, really flirting and looking into it, all while blocking
the view of the shitheads so they couldn’t watch.
And everything Legs was doing, my sister
was eating up.
Wrapping her arms around Tori and holding
on to her, smiling back, laughing, looking like she was falling in love and
thinking this was real and something sustainable.
I was starting to regret incorporating Tori
into this plan. She was a little too good at her game. Straight up. Maybe the
best at it.
I was also starting to get mildly jealous
watching my sister getting attention from the one woman who was hell-bent on
ignoring my ass.
“Man, whatever,” the one guy said, grabbing
his beer and looking to his friends. “Come on. I’m not wastin’ my time on
lesbian pussy.”
His friends murmured their agreement,
mentioned something about hitting up Roy’s, a bar down the street, then grabbed
their beers and stepped away.
When they were out of earshot, I shifted my
eyes to Legs, telling her, “Think you sold it. You can get off my sister now.”
Tori smiled proudly, lifting her shoulders
with a little dance. Then she looked to Quinn, keeping the smile, and said,
“Hey, I’m Tori. Your brother dragged me here, so I figured I’d offer my
assistance instead of letting him handle it, since he can’t fight and all.”
“Can fight, just shouldn’t,” I corrected
her. I jerked my chin. “Hop off.”
Quinn moved her hands up Tori’s back and
licked her lips. “Wicked plan,” my sister told her. “I was totally into that.”
“I think it got the point across,” Tori
replied. “I really like your hair, by the way.” She ran her fingers through it
again. “The color looks great on you.”
“Really?”
“Absolutely. It really makes your eyes
pop.”
“I was thinking about going purple…”
“Have you tried bleaching the roots and
just painting the color on the ends? I think that would look amazing with
purple.”
Jesus.
“Legs,” I barked.
Both of their heads whipped around and
faced my direction.
“You feelin’ like gettin’ up so we can get
the fuck outta here?” I asked, thinking only about the food back at her place I
was wanting to eat and not about how comfortable my sister’s hands looked
gripping on to Tori’s body.
“She’s fine,” Quinn offered, keeping her
hands locked around Legs. “Really. She doesn’t have to move.”
I shot a glare at Quinn, communicating how
I felt about that suggestion, then shifted that glare to Tori.
“I was getting up. Relax. We were just
talking,” she huffed, moving off Quinn’s lap and coming to stand beside me.
“You’re welcome, by the way,” she murmured.

So I put down Four Letter Word and I had to jump
straight into this. I was so hooked on J. Daniel’s writing, almost as hooked as
I was on the amazing characters. I loved Jamie and legs as secondary characters
and I felt like all the glimpses of them together was an extension of the
foreplay.
My only concern was Jamie. I really loved him and
his man whore ways I just didn’t think he was serious about starting a
relationship and settling down and I wasn’t sure what had happened at the party
in Four Letter Word. But I did enjoy watching him chase Tori and I was dying to
find out how they could get from where they were to happily ever after.
I have to admit Tori annoyed me initially. I
thought she was just playing with Jamie and wasn’t really interested in forgiving
him for his past. But then I would remember where her hesitation came from and
I would get mad at Jamie for not treating her a lot more delicately. He really
did approach her arse backwards and I could understand Tori thinking it was all
just a game to him.
I loved the back and forth and I was squirming to
see what the tipping point was going to be. The tension was just so perfectly
weighted it kept me on the edge of my seat. They just worked so perfectly
together once they got passed the drama and angst and I enjoyed catching up
with Sydney and Brian
I can’t wait for the next installment, hopefully
we get a whole heap more of the other characters as I need to see more of them
all. Check out my Four Letter Word review here:
Holy wow! I don’t know how I wasn’t expecting all the
awesome that was this book. I mean I saw the rave reviews and the blurb sounded
right up my alley and I raced out and one clicked it but then I left it
gathering dust and forgot all about it until I was blessed with an arc for Hit
the Spot.
So I went back and grabbed this and was instantly
transfixed. From the first page I didn’t want to put it down, I was in love
with wild and trouble and the dialogue between them. The text messages and the conversations
were so real and I couldn’t wait for them to get together.
The chemistry between them was so palpable I could
feel it bleeding off the pages. But the other emotions weren’t lost in it and I
think I went through the full range of emotions and back again. It was one of
those rare reads where I felt everything like I was living it.
But of course the star of the story was Brian and I
am absolutely adding him to my book boyfriend collection. It was a case of lust
at first sight and love a few pages after. Everything about him was just all
that you could ask for and I seriously want to stay in his story for weeks.
Not that Sydney wasn’t all that and a bag of chips I
just was so completely gone over him I could barely see anything else around him
and I didn’t want to. And now I am off to read Hit the Spot.
Fate. Hate. Love.
Lies.

Excerpt
The sun burned across a cloudless sky. I felt the intensity
of it bake into the skin of my bare shoulders.
Waves crashed against the shore, some carrying surfers with
them in the distance. A few feet ahead of me, a small child kicked a sand
castle and giggled with his father.
I sat down on a step and slipped my sandals off.
The sand was warm underneath my feet as I dug my toes into
it, staring out at the world in front of me. I rubbed a shell between my
fingers as I watched a couple walk hand-in-hand toward the pier.
They looked happy. I tried to remember the last time Marcus
held my hand, or even reached for it.
My chest burned when I couldn’t conjure up an image in my
mind.
I looked down at the faint line marking my left ring finger.
The token I was left with now that I no longer wore my ring. It was subtle,
thanks to my naturally pale skin, but to me it stood out like embers glowing in
the dark.
I hated it. I didn’t need a reminder of how I’d failed as a
wife. Or how Marcus stopped seeing me as one.
Maybe I could coat my entire hand in sunblock except for
that thin strip. Burn the memory away.
The idea seemed promising enough to consider.
From my back pocket, my cell beeped with an incoming
message.
I wiped the tear from my cheek as I stood and palmed my
phone, expecting to see Tori’s name lit up on my screen.
I froze on the step, my free hand on the railing as I stared
curiously at the message and the number it was sent from.
Wild Girl.
Eaten any innocent men alive today yet?
My lip twitched, the hint of a smile.
I sat back down, reading the message a second time as I
remembered my conversation with this stranger yesterday.
My accidental verbal beat-down.
Jesus. I really let him have it.
I couldn’t think of the last time I was that embarrassed.
I told the guy to remove a dildo from his mouth, for Christ
sakes.
All in all, whoever this was seemed to be a good sport about
it. He could’ve laid into me and cussed me out. Made me feel even more like a
complete shit for dialing the wrong number and not confirming the identity of
my intended victim before I tore into him like he owed me money.
He was more than decent about the whole thing. Easily
forgiving.
And now he was messaging me out of nowhere and striking up
conversation.
Wild.
He wanted to talk to me.
Huh.
I tapped my thumb on the edge of the phone case, then
hovered over the letters of my keypad as I stared at the message.
Did I even want to talk to this guy anymore? Wasn’t this
weird? We didn’t know each other. Our encounter was a mistake. A one-time mishap,
never to be repeated.
Right?
