BLURB

Mia

An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school…

Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.

JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don’t see myself as a “fling” kind of girl, maybe it’s just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.

JT

Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It’s a place of serenity…to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.

Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Reckless Recluse is a contemporary, age-gap romance inspired by Stuck-Up Suit.

Release Blitz - Building Bridges by Lia Fairchild

Title: Building Bridges

Series: Bridges Brothers #1

Author: Lia Fairchild

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 16, 2020

Blurb

Former soldier Logan Bridges never imagined he would go from serving his country to helping raise a house full of children after a devastating family loss.

Dealing with his rowdy siblings and cousins proves to be almost as treacherous as the battlefields he left behind. And though he’s committed to making it work, he soon finds he’s in over his head.

Until someone from Logan’s past, steps in to help.

Mollie has always been independent, but finds herself growing attached to the family, including Logan, and discovering there’s more to life than working and solitude.

Logan and Mollie quickly form a strong bond, and when attraction brings them closer, they agree getting involved wouldn’t be good for the children. But when they both struggle to keep the blurry line of friendship between them, Mollie won’t take that step unless Logan can open up and face his painful past.

Series info:

The Bridges Brothers series follows four brothers as they attempt to navigate life and love after a tragic family loss. Each book can be read as a standalone but is more enjoyable read in order.

Excerpt

Before I can turn around, I feel him at my back and a chill creeps up my neck. His hands grip my arms and his hard chest pressing against my shoulders feels like the safest place on Earth. He leans his head down and puts his lips at my ear. “I wish you didn’t have to leave.”

My heart skips a beat and then thrums wildly. There’s no way out of visiting my parents at this point. “Me too. But we still have a little time together. Thanksgiv—” I scoff when I realize my assumption.

“Of course, I want to spend Thanksgiving with you.”

I grin, though he can’t see it. “I have to admit…it will be tough being away.”

He runs his hands down my arms before slipping one around my middle. “How long?”

“I’ll probably be there a couple weeks, home a little after Christmas maybe.”

I try not to flinch when his hand slides beneath the hem of my sweater and skates across my bare skin. “I can wait, Mollie. If that’s what you want.”

I don’t want to wait, but I can’t get any words out.

“You said we should go slow. Get to know each other. Be open.” He brushes my hair to the side, exposing my neck. “I may not know everything about you, Mollie. But I know you. I know your heart and your will and your determination…and your vulnerability.” He places soft kisses at the top of my shoulder, searing my skin. In between kisses, his voice is velvet. “I’m not sure how it happened, but I feel like I’ve known you my whole life.”

I wrap my arm around his neck and let out a soft sigh. “I want you to know it all.” Turning my head to the side, I part my lips, calling his to mine. “To have it all.”

He wastes no time joining our mouths and stealing my breath with his warmth. A warmth that quickly turns to fire as we taste each other with soft slow nudges and nips.

Dizzy with need, I pull back to look in his eyes, breathing heavily. His hand cups my chin, keeping my face, my lips, close to his. “I might have some broken pieces that aren’t fully repaired…and I might have some blank spaces I can’t remember…but the rest is all yours.” He kisses me once, gently. “If you’ll have me.”

Excerpt

I quickly check my messages and when I look up, a guy is standing next to Mollie, talking to her.

I see her smile at him and it doesn’t look any different than the one she shows me, which kind of pisses me off. I’d expected one of those plastered polite deals that uninterested women give men until they leave.

As I sidle up right behind the two, she laughs, and my heart is strangled when her wannabe dimple appears. That’s my fucking dimple. I don’t say anything, waiting for them to acknowledge me.

“You need something, buddy?” the guy says, looking me straight in the eye. His face says annoyed, as if he’d invested the night instead of arriving literally seconds ago.

“Not a thing…except maybe for you to go find a seat somewhere. You’re blocking my chair.”

He ignores my words and dips his head in Mollie’s direction. “He your boyfriend?”

“No,” she tells him.

That blows me out of the water. Of course, I’m not her boyfriend, but telling him straight up “no” wounds me.

“Maybe I could get your number,” he tells her.

Am I not standing right freaking here?

I laugh. Out loud, because no matter what, it’s ridiculous that she’d give a guy her number when she came with me. Isn’t it?

“Hey, man. We’re trying to have a conversation here.”

I can hear him, but I’m no longer looking at him. My eyes are burning a hole into the side of Mollie’s head, waiting for her to set him straight. Then I see the slow twist of her body, her eyes flicking my way, and the easy grin take over her mouth. Either she’s really enjoying my pain, or she’s getting off stringing this guy along. Either way, I’m relieved that smile is not for this jackass.

“She just said you weren’t her boyfriend,” the guy reiterates.

I already feel like a first-class idiot, but my next words will boost me into champion status. “Yeah, well, I’m her…somebody. So, you can leave now.”

He scoffs. “What the hell is a somebody?”

“It’s the person who makes sure you don’t do stupid shit like giving your number to a douche at a bar.”

He looks at Mollie as if she’s going to correct me. She shrugs with a head tilt but her face clearly gives him confirmation. When he turns his attention back to me, she covers her mouth to hold back a laugh.

“Screw both of you.” He takes a step back and lifts his drink. “She’s not hot enough for me to kick your ass.”

Review - LIAR by Lia Fairchild

Title: LIAR

Series: Liar #2

Author: Lia Fairchild

Release Date: November 3, 2015

When all you’ve known are lies, how do you face the truth? 

My past was a bitch. 

Now it’s come back to haunt me. After months apart, Daniel and I are finally trying to make our relationship work. But my lies run deeper than either of us imagined. Lies so terrible I imprisoned them in the darkest recesses of my mind. Just when my heart begins to come alive, the lies seep out of the shadows…revealing secrets with the power to crush me. 

~ ~ ~ 

Despite both of our troubled pasts, I want her…more than I’ve ever wanted anyone or anything. I’m determined to fight for her—to fight for us—even if it means facing my own demons. I have to reach Gray before it’s too late…before the truth completely destroys her. 

Liar is the second and final book in the Liar series. Compulsive is the first book.

ADD TO GOODREADS

AMAZON US / AMAZON UK

I anxiously awaited this conclusion to Compulsive. After finding myself shouting the praises of book one, I was a little intimidated to read this one. What if it wasn't as good? What if I didn't like where the story took me after I was already so invested? Thankfully, I had nothing to worry about. It was everything I needed to bring this story to its Ever After. 

Gray is still struggling with her inner demons. She's made progress in her emotional life, and is battling her demons in a healthier way. She is working on the toxic relationship she has maintained with her father, and she is healing the relationships she strained in the past. I was so excited to see her this way, and the biggest trouble she seemed to have was how to work around all the angst of her relationship with Daniel. His inner demons from the past were haunting him big time, and they were doozies. The little detail of Gray having been his patient, and her tenuous grasp on sobriety and mental health don't aid matters in any way. I do admit to a moment of worrying that this book was going to skip so many of the aspects that made its predecessor so amazing to me and focus on the angst. I should have known better. 

Family and friends drop bombshells, as memories from the past resurface and everything Gray thought she knew is challenged. Not just her memories, but her opinions, her relationships, even her sobriety are challenged in a very real and human way. It was so easy to slip inside her mind and see where she was going wrong and realize just how easy it is to sink into that abyss. 

Her relationship with her teenage neighbor is really a huge part of not only the back story, but a very large factor in helping her continue to heal and move forward. Not to mention the relationship is heartwarming and an absolute joy to read about. It is one of my favorite things about these books. 

Watching everything fall apart closer to the end broke my heart. It gave me all the feels, had me screaming at my kindle and anxiously turning pages to see what was going to happen. I couldn't get to the end fast enough, even though I always dread the ending of a good book, so it makes it bittersweet really. I can't complain, the ending was everything I could have wanted. Satisfying, and yet still so real. No magical cures, no perfect fix, but instead two grown people finding out what works for them, and then running with it. I loved it.

Review - Compulsive by Lia Fairchild

Title: Compulsive

Series: Liar #1

Author: Lia Fairchild
Release Date: May 12, 2015

Lies hurt.

Lies destroy.

But some lies protect…and heal. At least that’s what Gray Donovan had hoped for. She’s a compulsive liar using it as a defense mechanism to survive life and her shattered past.

When she starts seeing therapist Daniel Harrison, she can no longer deny the truths that have haunted her for so many years. She must now stand and face them.

Opening up to Daniel leaves her exposed and vulnerable. When her soul is bared to him, she can’t contain the attraction or the feelings he elicits.

Daniel feels drawn to his new patient, but knows he will have to fight it in order to resurrect Gray from her demons. His will and his judgment are tested when he must overcome his own doubts and face his own secrets.

**Content Warning: Due to language and sexual situations, this book is intended for 18+ Only**

ADD TO GOODREADS

AMAZON US / UK

This was a hard one to put down. It reads a little disjointed at times, because Gray, the main character, is herself disjointed. She struggles with so many inner demons, demons that have made her go to excesses to try to ignore them. All of it in the hopes of forgetting her traumatic past and getting through the day-to-day.

One of Gray's biggest problems is her compulsive lying. She lies to anyone about everything, even when the truth is easier. She has had a couple run-ins with Daniel, a doctor at the practice where she's to receive therapy, and finds him attractive, mysterious, and kind. He seems to actually “see” her somehow, and she won't relent until he agrees to take her on as his patient.

While the sexual tension between the two is obvious, the best parts of this book are when we see Gray's interactions with those she cares about. She wants to get past her inner demons in healthier ways, but is finding it difficult to change the life she's carved out for herself. Being inside Gray's head as she works through these issues is almost heartbreaking. You feel her pain, really experience her struggle. There is just an honest beauty there. The tender flashbacks give such build up into the heartbreak you know is coming when the past is finally revealed. And the secondary characters are so genuine in this book, you care about them and their struggles as much as Gray's, because they are so related to her personal happiness.

I loved watching Gray grow as a character. It was bittersweet watching her make so much progress, changing her relationship with Daniel and offering a glimpse of the opportunities they could have together. I finished this book in a bittersweet mood. Pleased because of Gray's progress towards a more functional lifestyle, hopeful that she will be able to find happiness. And disappointed that it doesn't end here. There is so much story left to tell, and I can't wait to read about it.
