Back in her hometown of Ruby Falls, Aria Heart is determined to find herself and the happiness that has always felt just out of reach. Something that would be a lot easier to do if her parents weren’t so close by, reminding her just why she left town as soon as she could, and if the house she just purchased wasn’t already giving her problems.

Just when Aria starts to second guess her decision, Tide Goodman knocks on her door and shoves his way under her defenses. Is it possible that the happiness she’s been searching for is attached to a man like Tide, the guy she crushed on in high school who didn’t even seem to know she existed? A man with an adorable daughter and baggage of his own?

In order to find out, she’ll have to put everything, including her heart, on the line one more time.

If you loved Falling Fast and Tide you're going to want to read this book.

Tide already had me swooning as a side character in Falling Fast so I was so ready to get his own story and see just how panty-melting he could be. And guys, when I say it was worth the wait I mean it. I absolutely loved Tide in this book and I really adored how good of a father he was.

I also loved Aria and I felt like we saw a lot of growth from her in this book. She worked so well with Tide and didn't let his character steal the show at all. Together they had so many cute moments and of course there was the usual ARR brand of Alpha-ness that I am obsessed with.

EXCERPT

“Beef stroganoff,” Mr. Hail stated as he put his own bowl down and sat.

I smiled. I didn’t let it wither when he just stared at me, giving me nothing. Instead, I said, “Thank you. It looks and smells amazing.” I picked up my fork and took a mouthful, moaning as the taste exploded in my mouth. I opened my eyes, which I hadn’t realized I’d closed, to see Mr. Hail had been watching me still. He didn’t pick up his fork until I nodded and mumbled, “It’s great.”

He grunted and started eating. Silence rent the room except for our forks and the slight sound of munching. I really didn’t do well when things got quiet. In fact, I got more nervous. I felt like I needed to speak and make things comfortable, but I was fighting myself, unsure Mr. Hail was looking for someone to start dribbling shit about nothing in general.

So, I would sit there in silence.

I could.

I had to, because he certainly wasn’t saying anything.

Silence was good.

Oh, look over there to the row of floor-to-ceiling windows that I can jump out. I just have to move the transparent curtains. Why do people get see-through curtains? Wait, it looks like there’s a balcony. At least I won’t have to climb out a window.

Yep, silence was so much fun.

Well, what do we have here? There’s a dead plant sitting in a pot at the end of the row of windows. Maybe the silence killed it.

I was not prepared for this book! My emotions are raw after finishing this one and I needed the rest of the night just to gather all of my thoughts and feelings. The story took a complete turn from where I thought it would lead but I loved it and it had me falling for these characters so hard. I just wanted to give West a hug and make everything better for him but seeing Adrik take that roll was even better.

I absolutely loved Adrik and how he was with West. Their attraction was so strong and I really liked that even though they both tried to fight it at first, they just couldn't. It was a very real and adorable relationship that had me captivated. And when things got even more complicated between them it only had me loving their characters even more.

Overall, this was a surprisingly deep and emotional story but it was also a very cute one. I was dying for this story from the moment I read the ending of the previous book and I can now say that it was well worth the wait.

“Are you stalking me?”

“We live right next door to each other, New Girl.”

Bay Bishop aka The New Girl is my new neighbor. Glasses, stage crew black clothes and a knack for fading into the background.

She’s probably the only one who rolls her eyes when I walk past instead of cheering on my last touchdown play. But before I can shove her into the recesses of my mind filed under “Not my problem” she lands herself smack dab in the middle of my dreams.

I catch her singing with a voice unlike any I’ve heard before that taps into feelings I shouldn’t have for the girl who avoids me at all costs. I need to know why she hates me.

With three months until graduation, the final play is on. Only it’s not for more points. It’s for Bay.

Unlike my success on the field, this win is anything but assured. But I can’t stop myself from taking the risk.

There’s no flashing scoreboard.

There’s no cheering crowd.

There’s only her and me.

The countdown clock is ticking. The only thing scarier about finding my first love will be losing her.

The Art of Falling for You is the first book in the new Fulton U universe sports romance, Falling trilogy.

EXCERPT

He wanted to pretend he was a nice guy now? I ran through my first day at Greenwood Senior High. The vivid details craved an excruciatingly clear memory of just the kind of guy he was. Even if he didn’t remember, I certainly did.

If only that had been the end of it. But it wasn’t. He was back that afternoon and mom insisted I take him a glass of lemonade.

I kicked his leg and he slid out with grease marks on his cheeks and hands that only made him hotter.

The universe’s unfairness had never been clearer than Dare looking like a cover model wheeling out from under my mom’s junker of a car. If I’d had a team of stylists and beauty professionals dress me and do my makeup, I’d never be more than catalog cute. He was super-model searing without even trying.

“From my mom.” I shoved the glass toward him.

“It’s not from you? Did you make it yourself?” He set the wrench down on the concrete and drew his knees up, resting his back against the side panel of the car. His gaze locked onto mine, holding it and not letting me look away.

My pulse pounded, and my stomach back flipped into next week. “Just take it.”

“Did you poison it?” He lifted an eyebrow.

“Yes, I dropped in one of my cyanide capsules that I keep on hand for annoying neighbors.”

He didn’t say a word, only let me stand there with my arm extended, not making a move to take the glass.

My hand shook. I jerked it back and took a sip. “See, not poisoned.” I took a step closer and held it out again.

His gray eyes twinkled with amusement. He shot up, so his body brushed against mine on the way up, not trying to make room at all for my personal space. His fingers curled over mine before he pulled the glass from my grasp.

Instead of drinking from the side of glass closest to him, he turned it in his hold and took a sip from my side of the glass. My lip prints melted away by his. He didn’t drop his gaze or look away.

He froze me in my tracks like a deer caught in headlights after a long night in the forest.

“Delicious."

THE SIN OF KISSING YOU (Book 2) http://bit.ly/GRTSOKY

THE HATE OF LOVING YOU (Book 3) http://bit.ly/GRTHOLY

The Art of Falling For You is the start to Bay and Dare's story and oh my word did I love them! The book follows them in High School when Dare first takes notice of Bay and see's her as more than just "The New Girl" that's been at school for three years already.

He was the typical jock around most people but with Bay Dare was more than that. He became vulnerable and shared things with her he hadn't shared with anyone else and Bay also opened up more around Dare. I loved that connection they had where they felt so comfortable with each other. Of course it wasn't an easy start for them and Bay especially wasn't as trusting of that connection but they worked through that and eventually became very close.

Like I said, this was the start to their story and there is definitely a lot more to come from Bay and Dare which I'm dying for. I'm not usually a cliffhanger reader and usually avoid trilogies but I'm a big fan of Maya Hughes and knew it would be worth the read.

AUTHOR BIO

Used is Kate Dunbar's debut novel but with the way this book captivated me I would have never guessed. The story follows Sabra Valentine as she's thrust back into her past fears all while trying to move on with her life. I really liked how Sabra's character was depicted and how we got to see every anxiety inducing worry she had played out. The realistic portrayal of her fear made the book even more intriguing and had me gripping my Kindle and feeling just as anxious as Sabra's character. The best part of this book was the raw and unfiltered fear that came off of the pages whenever Sabra's past was brought back into her life. 

The fact that Sabra's character was so realistic, though, actually made me want more details of her past. And maybe that's my gruesome, true crime loving brain but there were times that it just felt like the story was holding back because we were getting hints at her past and seeing some of it but not the truly bad parts of it. For me that actually took away from the story and at one point even had me wondering if I was wrong in what I thought had happened.

Overall, this was an amazing book to read and I will certainly be waiting for more from this author. The romance blended really well with the suspense and I adored Sabra's love interest, Trevor, and how he didn't get pushed too far in the background. The main focus was definitely Sabra and her story but Trevor added a lot of interesting moments.
