The Wellington Way. My mother's favorite motto wasn't something I bought into, even after watching each of my cousins fall hard and fast for their women.

That all changed the night Alyssa Covington came into my life like a whirlwind, showing me exactly what I'd been missing. It took just one night for her to knock me on my ass, twist me inside out, and fall head over cock.

The morning after? She left without a second glance in her rearview mirror. Fortunately for me, her sister's marrying my cousin, and there's no way she can escape me now.

The only problem?

She wants nothing to do with me.

Little does Alyssa know, I never give up, even if I have to fight dirty.

**

My sister told me there was nothing like loving a Wellington. I didn’t buy it.

Until I found out that stranger I gave my virginity to? Shane Wellington.

He’s the antithesis of my dream man, yet it took just one night for me to become addicted. Unfortunately for us, that perfect night led to a disastrous morning after and I did what I do best. I ran, fooling myself by thinking I could quickly get him out of my system. 

When circumstances throw us together again, I can't forget the time we spent together. His piercing blue eyes hold me hostage, and I know the truth.

Shane and I aren't over. Oh no, we've just begun.

The only problem?

It doesn't matter what I want.

I can have nothing to do with him.

What happens when the perfect one-night stand just isn't enough?

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

Shane meets Alyssa when he visits one of his company's newly acquired hotels. Alyssa is on vacation and is looking to let loose. She thinks Shane is one of the pool boys and he doesn't correct her. They spend an amazing night together, go on a lovely date the next day and then everything falls apart. From that point on Shane does all he can to convince Alyssa that them being together is the right thing. 

I loved both Shane and Alyssa. Shane was a very persistent man and he was determined to make Alyssa see that they belonged together. They spend a good portion of the book apart, but when they are together it is so good!

I will say that I wish I had done a reread of Branson and Ariana’s book before reading this one. This story line book overlaps with theirs and there were these moments where I felt as though there was some information missing. If I didn’t already know their story, I think I would have been confused at times.

But I really enjoyed this book and I loved seeing some of the characters from the previous books and all it made me want to do was a massive reread of both series!

Holy matrimony. Tying the knot.

Weddings. They happen.

Weddings are defined by love. It’s one heck of a strong emotion that can make people do some outright crazy things - whether they're in love, surrounded by it, or simply adjacent to it when two people say, “I do.”

With love often comes risks, and at an event that’s all about intense passions, people tend to take chances. Especially, when they see that intriguing special someone across the room making their heart do gymnastics.

Is it love? Is it lust? Or just what happens at a wedding?

*What Happens at a Wedding is a collection of fun and sexy short stories from a group of fun and sometimes sexy authors. Or maybe they’re ninjas.*

RELEASE DAY BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: Words I Couldn't Say (Promise in Prose #1) by Tessa Teevan

Title: Words I Couldn’t Say

Release Date: Nov 22, 2016

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

You know the old adage “if you love something, set it free?"

It's the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

The dumbest thing I've ever done.

I loved her. I lost her. Hell, I let her go. And then spent five miserable years without her.

To cope with the loss, I put pen to paper and wrote her a love story, knowing when she was ready she’d hear the words I couldn’t say all those years ago.

Turned out, not only would she hear them, but when Hollywood came calling, I made sure she got the lead role. 

After all, no one else could portray the character whom she’d inspired.

Now she's within arms' reach and finally, she'll know the truth in my heart.

Because that other cliché, “Actions speak louder than words?”

I’m going to prove it.

My words may have brought Ava Banks back into my life; I have to be enough to make her stay.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

Well. I was bawling my eyes out before the prologue was even over. Ava wanted a grand gesture from the man she loves and she got all that and more. Holy. Cow. 

Ava left Tucker behind to follow her dreams of becoming a movie star. He originally was going to go with her, but family obligations made him stay behind. They have had little to no interaction in the five years they have been apart, but when a movie role that was made for Ava falls into her lap, she finds herself going home to star in a possible blockbuster movie and potentially back in front of the boy she left behind. 

As Ava is walking through the airport, the last person she expects to see is right in front of her. And he is definitely not the boy she remembers. Tucker is all grown up and unbeknownst to her, ready to get back the life he gave up five years ago. Their reunion isn't bad, but it's not great either. He ends up giving her a lift home (he still lives next door to her parents) from the airport and it's obvious that there are a lot of feelings still between them, but things won't be settled over night. 

While Ava and Tucker do talk about the past and how it affected them, they are more focused on learning about the people they are today. Their lives are extremely different than they were five years ago. Professionally they have moved on and created new lives for themselves, but emotionally, they never let the other person go. They both were both walking around with Ava/Jeremy shaped holes in their souls and it is now time to fill them up. And these two as an adult couple were sexy as hell. There were a few scenes that not only made me want to take a cold shower, but also made me blush. On my commute. In public. All grown up, indeed. 

And I didn't think it was possible, but I think I love Jeremy and Sierra even more after reading this book. They are still ridiculously crazy in love and hilarious. Their antics as meddling parents made me laugh out loud more than once and they also tugged at my heartstrings. Then throw in Ava's adorable younger brothers and I just want to be a part of the Banks family! And her younger brother's names...SO GOOD. I won't share them here because I don't want to ruin anything, but trust me on this. 

Tessa knocked it out of the park with this book. Ava and Tucker's story was perfect. From moment Ava walked up to Tucker and claimed him for herself, to the very end of of the book, I was captivated. Believe it or not, the drama is kind of kept to a minimum, but that doesn't mean there is a lack of emotion. This book is full of it. There are also lots of awesome pop culture references that will make you happy (well they made ME happy) and you may even find your self humming a boy band song or two. 

The air around us was silent save for the crickets chirping off in the distance. The cool Cincinnati breeze nipped at my skin while I waited for his reaction. When I’d started writing this novel, it had been an ode to my past love. My past life. But then it’d taken on a life of its own and become so much more. Which had made it that much more poignant. That much harder to fathom the one word that’d been haunting me for years.

Goodbye.

At long last, he turned to the final page and sucked in a breath. My stomach twisted in knots because he was about to read the end. And I didn’t know how he’d interpret it. Half scared he’d tell me that I’d lost my mind and no one would ever want to read this story, especially with that ending.

He didn’t make me wait long. As his head slowly rose, I was taken aback at the tears shining in his usually cheerful eyes. This man, who had always been like a second father to me, had been reduced to tears by my words. My words. Words we both knew for whom they were meant. And, instead of calling me a fool or attempting to kill me, he watched me with tearful appreciation, switching between nodding and shaking his head as if trying to process it all.

I didn’t know how to react, so I simply stared at him, waiting for him to say something. Anything.

He closed the manuscript and set it on the table in front of us before taking a long swig from his whiskey glass. I followed suit and enjoyed the smoky burn that did little to soothe my nerves.

“Jesus Christ,” he muttered, his eyes locking in on mine. “Tucker. You did it. You fucking did it,” he whispered, seemingly unashamed of his emotional display.

I nodded, the same emotion welling up inside me when I remembered the ending of my first novel. So many love stories begin with the girl who got away. Mine wasn’t any different. Not only in my novel, but in real life as well. Ava Banks was, and always would be, that girl for me. But, instead of slipping through my fingers, she’d made the conscious decision to leave. And, like most dumbass men, I’d let her. Hell, I’d pushed her away. I’d regretted it ever since.

But, now, I was hoping like hell I could get the second chance Trevor did. Hoping like hell my story would turn out differently than his. But, either way, I was putting myself out there, as terrifying as that was. She finally, finally would hear the words I couldn’t say all those years ago.

Now, I just had to wait to see what she’d do about it.

She’s a research analyst by day, reads/writes by night, and is married to a guy 15 inches taller than her, making them quite the pair! They currently reside just outside of Dayton, OH with two adorably grumpy cats.
