Excerpt from Paradise Taken
Rob was sitting near Jake and Claire and
motioned for me to join him on the lounger. I put my
finger up indicating I needed a minute as I
still had to see the caterers out. Rob winked at me
and smiled, reminding me of Jake’s odd response
earlier in the evening. I smiled back as I tried
to ignore my thoughts.
Eventually, I made my way over to my husband and
crawled into the chair with him. Jake’s eyes
never left me, but Rob didn’t notice. It should have
been unnerving, but it wasn’t. I snuggled
deep beside my man, laid my head on his muscular
chest, and wrapped my arms around his
waist. He was my home.
I felt Rob stirring and realized I’d fallen
asleep in his arms in the lounger. He was still chatting
with Jake about work stuff, and I started to get
up, but he pulled me back down and held me in
place.
“Don’t leave. We were thinking of going for a
night swim.” Rob grinned. I knew what that
meant. He loved to swim naked with me, but I
certainly wasn’t going to do that with Jake and
Claire here. He chuckled at my raised eyebrows
because he knew I was about to protest, so he
whispered, “With suits this time.”

~ Book Synopsis ~
Our love affair wasn't what everyone wanted it to be. It was raw and full of absolute joy
and unbelievable pain. My love for another woman had consumed me for years and now that Kaye was mine, I wasn’t ever letting her go. I knew the consequences of our affair would be devastating to our families, but I was too selfish to walk away.
My beautiful Kaye was having my baby and we were determined to get our happily ever
after....until one day, one event, one conversation threatened it all.
"I had to know what went wrong. My stomach was sick with grief and I didn't know what to
do next or even how to help Kaye. I needed to get to her. It didn't matter what Rob or Claire thought. No one could stop me from going. I knew she needed me. I could feel it deep in my soul." - Jake

About the Author
My Mini Review for both Books
(I apologize I'm just on a time crunch right now. I hope to soon make these in two reviews but for now I'm doing one but I promise I'll try not to mention any big spoilers)
It was nice to take a few days to read these two novels. First I want to write that these were very good contemporary romance stories. The characters, including the children involved, seemed believable and there is a realistic situation that is definitely hard to swallow knowing that there are two marriages on the line, but the author kept me reading once I do know what breaks two families. I did like reading from Kaye's POV in the first book and actually wanted to read more from her POV in the second book but reading a little bit from Jake's side did clarify some questions I had from the first book. With that I'll leave with that and if you want to read stories that gives a chance on a love that never went away read this :)
My Rating for both novels: 4/5
I say a strong PG-13 (Some Language and Sexuality)
While I thought most of season 7 replica watches uk was bad except for the last 5 or 6 episodes, I totally disagree that 1) Erica Durance is a bad actor because she plays rolex replica Lois Lane way better than most of the other incarnations especially Kate Bosworth. Who cares if she has fake boobs. That`s obviously a personal thing with you and has no impact on her character.2) Reaper may have replica watches similarities to Brimstone which was a good show, but Reaper is a much better, funnier and smarter show. The only thing that is similar is that Sam is going after escaped souls.
