Summer Reading List
We Came. We Read. We Came Again. 
WE SURVIVED. BARELY. 
This year? Absolute chaos—in the best possible way.
We laughed. We cringed. We trauma-bonded over morally gray men with anger issues and magical d**ks. We said “just one more chapter” and looked up four hours later, emotionally wrecked, mascara on our pillows, questioning our

of
Feast of the Fallen (Villains of Kassel #3):
"It ended too soon. I wanted Jack and Daisy’s story to go on and on, to know more about their lives, how they evolve as a couple. Sometimes I was brought to tears, sometimes reading so fast, on edge that I had to read a passage again, and sometimes so"

"I am actually giving this book 4.5 stars.
Wow, what can I say, this book felt epic! Daisy and Jack don’t even meet until nearly half way through the book, but that doesn’t matter as it’s filled with their back stories and setting the scene for what co" Read more of this review » |

of
Feast of the Fallen (Villains of Kassel #3):
"This is a highly intense story with a fair amount of adult content, which is just a guarantee to stoke my interest! I loved the use of Jack and the Beanstalk as spark for this story, not to mention the connections to The Great Gatsby. Our main charac"

His eyes widened when she blew her nose, the sound more like a dying elephant. “Good God, woman, did you eat a French horn?”

AJ's Book ReMarks
shared a highlight from
The Holiday Clause
by
Lydia Michaels (Goodreads Author)
“You sneeze like a kitten in a teacup but blow your nose like a foghorn kicking off a moose hunt.”

“All of my life I’ve had one cardinal rule: the only person I can trust is myself. I’m the only person I can count on to truly look out for me without ulterior motives. That’s what I’m doing now, looking out. I don’t need your hotel. I don’t need your damn limo to give me a ride. And I don’t need you.” He stared at her, a blank expression on his face for a long moment. Finally, he whispered, “But I need you.”

― Coming Home
“And it will be a great boon to your friend. He’ll get the security he’s been searching for, the
confidence he never had, and I’ll get the rest of my life with you. Sometimes victory is won by
surrendering something great. And in surrender, we unburden ourselves so clarity can come through.
We’re all just men hiding behind curtains and impressive toys, Evelyn. He can have whatever trinket
validates his struggles, but he’ll never have your heart. That’s mine. I’ll surrender everything, except for you.”

“Grief was the counterpoint of love. The more a person loves something, the more painful sorrow became when that something disappeared. She loved Nash with every ounce of her being, so when he went away he took her entire soul with him." ~Lydia Michaels WAKE MY HEART (Jasper Falls 1)”

“The man could make stone malleable. Somehow he was changing her without fully breaking her. Perhaps that was how he obtained his power. Shatter the victims right from the start, so the slightest show of kindness felt like the greatest relief.”
