Maid in England by Brenda St John Brown ~ Release & Review




Title: Maid in England
Series: The I Do Crew #1
Author: Brenda St John Brown
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 5, 2019



Blurb

TO: The guy who dumped me because of my career
FROM: The woman hired to save yours
RE: I am 150,000% over you. 

Alastair,

I’m on the 11:14 train out of London, so I’ll be there by 3:00. To make this as painless as possible, I thought it would help to establish key ground rules:

 1. No rehashing our past relationship. Yes, we were engaged, but it’s been twelve years and I’m over you.
  2. I’m very good at my job and that job is to help you shed the “reclusive” part of the whole “reclusive rock star” vibe you’ve got going on. Brace yourself.
  3. My plan is to have this wrapped up by Friday, so save your smoldering looks until I’m gone, please. (I assume you still smolder?) I’m immune now. See item #1.
 4. My cousin is getting married and guess who's a bridesmaid? Funny, huh? Almost as funny as the fiancĂ©e you dumped because you thought she was married to her job now saving yours.

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Except almost. That one time.
Remi

P.S. Have I mentioned I’m totally, completely 150,000% over you?

Review

This book was interesting.. I like it but it could have been more.. Does that even make sense? Who knows?lol
Anyway, i really liked Remi. She was determined and dedicated,maybe a bit to dedicated at times. She has a mission and it involves her ex fiance. There's a past that neither one has healed from. Feelings are still there. Alastair was a good character. He knew what he wanted to do and did. His life got thrown a loop but he keep going. Having Remi in his life has brought up feelings he buried. These two are sweet. They push each other to be better and get better in life. It was great to see them both grow and decide what they really wanted in life. This was a very real book with characters facing everyday life. I enjoyed this book and loved that it wasn't an easy love. These two knew they needed to hash it out in order to move on. The author did an amazing job on this book!

Blurb

I see him on the street, encounter him at the pier. He’s there when my family is murdered, and I must decide: is this man someone I can trust, a killer—or both? Falling for him is easy because I have nothing more to lose. But she does, so I take her and run to England with him.

He is dangerous, and I am captivated.
Power . . . he is power. I want to breathe it in. I need to feel it inside me.

His stately country house is my refuge, but it’s his sensual and commanding presence that becomes my home and strengthens me. A rising dark threat closes in, and we vow to defy the course of fatal events before us. We promise to live. The obsession—this intense love story of ours—is the one thing we can’t survive.

My brother was right. I always wanted my own Willow Girl.

What happened on that island didn’t break me.
It twisted me.
Corrupted me.
Made me into a monster.

Although, I guess it’s true what she says. You can’t become something that wasn’t inside you all along.

This was always going to happen.
I was always going to take Amelia Willow.
History and destiny sealed her fate. Sealed both of ours.

For months, I’ve been waiting.
Watching.
Preparing.

And tonight, everything will change.
Because tonight, I’ll collect my own Willow Girl.

Waiting For You by Jasmine Stevens ~ Release & Review


Title: Waiting For You
Series: The Holbrook Series #1
Author: Jasmine Stevens
Release: February 5, 2019
Genre: Rural Romance





Eighteen years ago, Charlotte Denver left the quaint country town of Holbrook after a tragic accident. Now, she’s back in town to renovate her old family home, which will feature in the magazine where she’s employed as a journalist. Making the rundown house sellable will allow Charlotte to sever all ties with her tragic past and finally move forward with her life. That is until the one person she’d spent all these years trying to forget is contracted by her magazine’s editor to help her complete the job.
Will Beckett is no longer the twelve-year-old kid who used to play practical jokes on her, tease her and make her belly laugh. Now he’s a ruggedly handsome, sweet talking, successful builder. Despite Will’s wholesome country charm and sexy smile that makes Charlotte’s heart skip a beat, she’s determined to concentrate on the job at hand and protect her heart at all costs.
Will never thought he would see his best friend again, but now she’s back, as stubborn and strong-willed as ever. Her return reminds him all over again of everything she lost because of him, and he desperately wants her forgiveness. As they reacquaint with each other, Will becomes just as determined to reunite their friendship, and he’s set to win her heart.
Can Will break through Charlotte’s wall of defense or will his heart be broken again?




 



Blushing Book Reviews - “I read this book in the one sitting, it’s a page turner, tear jerker, nail biter, slow burn friends to lover’s romance.”
Goodreads Reviewer - “Real, Raw, Memorable & Sexy”
Goodreads Reviewer - “I highly recommend this book and I must say for a first novel Jasmine Stevens nailed it!”



Will took hold of her small hand in his and interlocked their fingers. Neither one of them looked away from one another. ‘So we’re clear, Lottie. I don’t feel pity or guilt when I see you. All I can think about doing when I see you, is this.’ Will leaned in close to Charlotte and lifted her chin up with a gentle brush of his hand. He dipped his head towards her and she felt the soft whisper of his breath on her lips as he moved in to kiss her.


A horrible accident separated childhood best friends eighteen years ago. 
Charlotte moved away and made a life for herself attempting to forget where she came from and all that happened there. It's been years, she's different but she's coming home to refurb her old family home.
The last thing she expects is to have to work with the one man she wants to keep her distance from.
Will on the other hand thinks the moment she steps foot in town it's going to be easy to fall back into the way things used to be. His best friend is finally back and he's not going to let her go again...but sometimes what we want isn't enough.

There's alot of air to clear between these two, secrets and hurts that can't be undone but need to be brought to light if these two are ever to truly move on and get over the things that changed their lives. It's sweet with a bit of snark.  


Waiting for You is highly engaging, well written and kept me turning the pages. I'm a new fan and can't wait to see what comes next in this series.
