Title: Breathless
A Texas Nights Series Standalone
Author: Lex Martin
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 18, 2020

Joey
I wouldn’t say I ran away exactly—twenty-two is too old for that.
I’d call it self-preservation.
I have one objective: protect my heart from the boy next
door who has no clue I’ve loved him my whole life, even with a front row seat
to his revolving bedroom door.
My escape plan almost worked.
Except I left one thing behind.
Logan Carter hijacked my heart, and now it’s time to get it
back. This time for good.
Logan
I wouldn’t say I’ve been lying this whole time—not about
everything.
Not about how much I miss my best friend, and definitely not
about how pissed I am that she left with hardly a goodbye.
She’s the last person I ever expected to ghost me, and her
absence left a gaping hole in my chest.
When Joey Grayson steps off that bus, I know I’ll do
anything to keep her home, and that means finding out the truth.
But I’m not sure how to tell her my truths when I’m living
so many lies.

I adore Lex Martin. Her writing style just hits every single one of my buttons. So every time she has a new release I can't read anything for the days leading up to the book being in my grabby little hands because I am so fixated on reading her words.
However my biggest issue is my goldfish brain. So every book is like a standalone for me. I vaguely remember the story and characters from each book but I forget the secondary characters. So I couldn't remember who Logan and Joey were. But this isn't an issue because as soon as I started reading I was caught up in all things them and their lives.
Joey was so perfect. Words can't even begin to describe her character. I always worry about these kinds of friends to lovers books where the h has been in love and pining for the H and he has been sleeping with everything with a pulse. But with Lex writing it, it doesn't matter. The heroine isn't going to be a doormat and the hero is going to pull out all the stops and that's exactly what I love about it.
Joey had loved Logan forever but she had self respect and a backbone. She knew she deserved more than she thought he was capable of giving her and she packed up and left. And she didn't come home for him or even plan on staying there even once their relationship started.
But of course Logan knew what he was missing when Joey left so he had no intentions of letting her leave again. Now as the blurb said Logan is drowning in secrets and honestly I guessed what it was immediately and I spent most of the book waiting to see how they would come out and tear his life apart. And although I get why he felt he needed to keep it all secret I wanted to slap him for being so stupid.
Naturally once I picked this book up I couldn't put it down. I loved every second of the story and I think I need to plan a complete series re-read. There is a link for a novella at the end of this which I have downloaded and ready to go as my incentive to write this review so I'm off.

Tori…
For the record, I’m
not going to hook up with my boss.
I'm a lot of
things—a screwup, a basket case, a flunky. But when I take a nanny job to be
near my pregnant sister, I swear to myself I’ll walk the straight and narrow,
which means I cannot fall for my insanely hot boss.
I don't want to be
tempted by that rugged rancher. By his chiseled muscles or southern charm or
the way he snuggles his kids at bedtime. Ethan Carter won't get the key to my
heart, no matter how much I want him.
Ethan…
Between us, she's
the last thing I need as I finalize my hellish divorce.
What sane man trying
to rebuild his life wants a hot nanny with long, sexy hair, curves for miles,
and a smart mouth? A perfectly kissable, pouty mouth that I shouldn't notice.
My focus is on my
kids and my ranch, not the insufferable siren who sleeps in the room next to
mine. It doesn't matter that she wins over my kids in a heartbeat or runs my
life better than I do. Tori Duran is the one woman I can't have and shouldn't
want, no matter how much I crave her.

I am going to start by saying, incase you're like me and
missed it, this is a true standalone spin off from Shameless. This is the story
of Kat's sister Tori and I freaking loved it. Not only did we get a whole new
story but we also saw a fair bit of Kat and Brady and caught up on their lives
together.
I absolutely love Lex Martin's writing and this story was so
flawlessly written with so much emotion I couldn't put it down. I spent the
whole book with butterflies in my stomach sure I knew how things were going to
go, only for them to go a totally different direction.
From the first page my heart broke for Tori and everything
she had been through. I just wanted to wrap her up in a big hug and make
everything better for her. She did have a few drama llama moments but being
inside her head I completely understood where she was coming from. But then we
would get into Ethan’s head and see it for what it was.
Ethan was a bit of a closed book even getting things from
his point of view I still had moments waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I
think that was probably more my own expectations than the books as I had it in
my head that I knew what was going to happen. Just fyi don't trust a hugely
pregnant, hormonal woman on where she thinks things are going. I was miles off.
But despite the fact I was wrong about everything the whole
book had my undivided attention from start to stop and I loved everything about
it. But then what else would you expect from the amazingly talented Lex Martin?

Brady…
What the hell do I know about raising a baby? Nothing. Not a goddamn thing.
Yet here I am, the sole guardian of my niece. I’d be lost if it weren’t for Katherine, the beautiful girl who seems to have all the answers. Katherine, who’s slowly finding her way into my cynical heart.
I keep reminding myself that I can’t fall for someone when we don’t have a future. But telling myself this lie and believing it are two different things.

When Brady shows up on a Harley, looking like an avenging angel—six feet, three inches of chiseled muscle, eyes the color of wild sage, and sun-kissed skin emblazoned with tattoos—I’m not sure if I should fall at his feet or run like hell. Because if I tell him what happened the night his family died, he might hate me.
What I don’t count on are the nights we spend together trying to forget the heartache that brought us here. I promise him it won’t mean anything, that I won’t fall in love.
I shouldn’t make promises I can’t keep.
Shameless is an adult contemporary romance/spinoff featuring a character from The Dearest Series, but it can be read as a complete standalone.

After reading the blurb for this book I was absolutely dying
to get my hands on it. I am a total sucker for surrogate dads and I was so
hooked on Brady. I think I was already a little in love with him before I even
started reading. And let’s face it that cover didn’t hurt one bit either.
Kat was such a complete sweetheart, that as I read I fell for
her almost as much. I loved how much she cared about everyone around her and
despite the tragic circumstances that brought about their meeting she just
pulled up her big girl panties and set about trying to keep everything running.
She was so fierce and kept it all together, including
mothering the misfit of animals her beloved friend had adopted. I admit to a huge
girl crush over her love for the crazy racoon and abandoned kittens. But damn
Kat was awesome.
As with the Dearest series Lex has this amazing ability to drag me into the story and make me feel like I am living it with them as I laugh at their antics and ugly cry at their losses. And this book had me gripped tight until the very end. The depth of grief and guilt from these two that Lex’s amazing writing made me feel was as though I was mourning MY friend.
And I loved that Lex threw me a little curve ball at the
end by showing my dumb ass the connection to Finding Dandelion which has made
me want to go re read that to see if Brady was lurking there and I somehow over
looked him.
So hurry and one click this now cause it was awesome and if
you haven’t already checked out the Dearest series grab them while you’re at
it.
