Contemporary Romance
When We Met from Goodreads:
New York Times
bestselling author Susan Mallery invites you back to Fool's Gold, where a
newcomer to town might finally meet the man she never knew she needed…
Angel
Whittaker earned his scars the hard way, but the scars that can't be seen are
the ones that haunt him the most. Since he moved to Fool's Gold, California,
he's cobbled together a life for himself as a bodyguard trainer. If he's not
exactly happy, at least his heart is safe.
Working
with pro-football superstars taught tough-talking PR woman Taryn Crawford one
thing—she can go toe to toe with any man. But then dark, dangerous former
Special Ops Angel targets her for seduction…and challenges her to resist his
tempting kisses.
Even in four-inch heels, Taryn
never backs down. Unless, somehow, Angel can convince her that surrender might
feel even better than victory.
I have become invested in Fool’s
Gold and always look forward to the next book. When We Met is Angel and Taryn’s story. Both are very strong characters and it
was fun seeing them get together.
Some of the other favorites also show up in the story so there is a
chance to find out how they are doing.
Angel still grieves his wife and
son lost in a car crash. Taryn had
a Mother who left her with a Father who was abusive. She has trust issues and Angel has to turn loose of the
past. It takes a group of young
girls to bring about the change in both.
Look for some laughs when Angel finds he has volunteered to lead a group
of very young girls. The finish is
not a surprise. Taryn says I love
you and like all the males in the previous books Angel runs. Of course he realizes his mistake and
they have their HEA.
Before We Kiss from Goodreads:
New York Times
bestselling sensation Susan Mallery returns to Fool's Gold, California, where
it's true that sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs…
Former
pro-football kicker Sam Ridge has notoriously bad luck with women—from cheaters
to fame chasers. Still, the gorgeous brunette at the bar in Fool's Gold looks
harmless—until she takes him home and he discovers a room devoted to securing a
man, for life.
Dellina
Hopkins never guessed that storing gowns from a friend's bridal boutique would
chase away her first and only fling. After her parents died, she skipped her
"wild youth" to raise her sisters. She doesn't want forever from Sam,
but one night—all night—would've been nice.
His clean getaway gets messy when
his firm hires Dellina to plan an event. As long hours lead to late nights, the
two succumb to temptation again. Has Sam's luck finally changed? Or this time,
will Dellina be the one to run?
I really liked Sam and Dellina’s
story. The background is in When
We Met so if you want the story of their first meeting be sure to read it
first. Their relationship starts
out with a scene that made me laugh and that humor just keep going.
Sam just knows that any
relationship he has will go wrong.
Dellina thinks that she does not need a relationship. After all she raised her sisters after
her parents died. Then they are
thrown together when Dellina is hired to put on event for Sam’s company. What makes this on so much fun are
Sam’s parents. They are sex
experts and know no boundaries. I
challenge you to read any of the scenes where they are present and keep for
laughing. Of course Sam runs when
Dellina says I love you and has to find a way to prove that he returns that
love.
Harlequin Mira published When We Met (April 29) and Before We Kiss (May 27) by Susan Mallery in 2014.
I received an ARC of both books
from Netgalley.
