Books are Uniquely Portable Magic (Reading Recommendations)

Thank you Stephen King for this wonderful quote! And I couldn't agree more! 

Here are my recent Contemporary Romance reading recommendations. Again, they are selections for mature audiences only! 🙈

Defying the Odds by Kele Moon

Clay is a mixed-martial arts champion fighter, a strong yet silent type with a difficult past. Melody is a struggling waitress trying to put her life back together after a difficult marriage filled with physical & emotional abuse. Their emotional & physical connection is inevitable, but Melody pushes Clay away because she doesn't want to pull him into the drama of her life, still in fear of her abusive ex-husband.  But luckily, he isn't one to give up to easily & fate steps in to make it that much harder for Melody to completely walk away from Clay.  The story is heartwarming, with moments of fear & suspense thrown in, & plenty of humor thanks to Clay two best friends. I definitely got the feels from this romance!

The Girl He Knows by Kristi Rose 

Hank has always been there for Paisley. And Paisley has always known that she could count on Hank whenever she needed him.  He was there for comfort and support when her father died, when she needed a prom date and when she needed a friend after a nasty divorce with a cheating husband.  When their friendship turns physical, she’s quick to make sure they both agree that there are no strings attached.  She doesn’t ever want to risk losing him as a friend, despite feeling a very strong attraction to him—I mean it could just be the crazy physical chemistry, right?  As a reader, it was a pleasure taking a journey with Paisley through her self discovery—rooting for her every step of the way.  

Getting Out of Hand by Erin Nicholas  

I loved the two main characters in this love story! There’s Mason Riley, the nerdy scientist who happens to be all kinds of hot.  And Adrianne Scott, the former business woman who wants nothing more than a relaxing life in the sleepy town of Sapphire Falls. Both characters are not super experienced with relationships and have never fallen in-love with someone before.  But even in the short time of meeting & knowing one another, they both know that what they have is very special.  But will being together cost Mason his life’s work and possibly affect the lives of those that need him? And can Adrianne come to grips with her fears in order to follow her shot at happiness?  It was a great journey reading this story! 

There is so much magic in reading--whatever genre you choose! 

I guess you could argue with Science, but with these conclusions, why would you want to?
