AUTHOR: BJ Harvey

HOSTED BY: The Book Avenue

Long before he moved to New York to protect Elle Halliwell, Shay McCarron felt like a drifter.

Now working security and close protection for some of Georgia’s richest families, the boys are living the high life. High profile jobs, nights of easy women, and copious alcohol...with their very lucrative, if not slightly illegal occupation, the boys think they’re sitting pretty. 

Brenna, the youngest daughter of mob boss, Victor Bertorelli, hates her family’s mob ties, their morals, the whole damn thing. She wants to get as far away from them and the notorious Bertorelli name as she can. 

Until the blonde haired, green eyed, cocky as hell Shay storms into her life and succeeds in capturing her attention, and her heart.

Unfortunately, it’s the very world they live in that will tear them apart forever. 

Get to know the history of the best friend who gave his all in the highly acclaimed Lost series.

I make no secret of my love for everything B.J. Harvey.  I am not ashamed!  So when the chance to review the long awaited and much sought after, Shay's story came about, I really didn't have to think too long and hard!

Despite knowing the end of the book before even starting it, I knew this would have no bearing on my enjoyment.  You see knowing how this story ends, is only a very small part of the story.  It is how they came to that part of the story that would be all new and riveting.

As the blurb says, Shay meets Brenna, whilst working for her Dad.  A Dad she hates!  Brenna has good reason to hate her Dad, and all that he stands for.  She hates those who work for him, doing his dirty work and cleaning up after him.  So when she meets Shay for the first time, she is surprised by her reaction to him.  Although she does show him that she does not like him and she will not like him.  Over time this changes and their relationship blossoms.

Shay is a sweetheart, and will always have a special place in my heart.  He gave up everything to be with the one he loved.  Reading again, how this all ended, did not lessen the impact.  I found myself bubbling all over again, at what Shay went through, to finally be with his Brenna, because this time, I knew what he felt for her.  I knew what she felt for him.  I knew what their future would hold.

I cannot express my love for this story enough.  Thank you B.J. Harvey for giving us this insight into the depth of Shay's love for Brenna.

“Do you think our souls go on after we die?” she asks as she absentmindedly watches her hand on my chest. 

“I don’t know, Cupcake. I’d like to hope they do. The only death that has really hurt me so far was Brax’s dad Roger. Such a great guy who was taken far too soon.” I looked down at her, putting my finger under her chin and lifting her face to meet mine. “But I’d like to think that if anything happened to one of us, we’d wait around for the other soul to join us, then we could move on together.”

Her eyes soften and fill with tears, “Damn, you can be awfully romantic when you wanna be, Shay.”

I drag my thumb across her cheek, wiping a wayward tear that has tracked down her cheek. “I’m only romantic with you. It’s only ever been you, Brenna. But for the record…” I lean down and plant a gentle kiss on her lips as she lifts her hand to cup my jaw, holding me there against her skin as she deepens the kiss. When we finally pull apart, the flame of desire is burning bright in her eyes. 

“Hold that thought,” I say, winking at her.

Snip of What's Next for BJ Harvey

Blissful Surrender (Bliss #3)

This is a story of Sean Miller, a dom that will have your panties diving for cover with an eyebrow quirk. That will have even the strongest woman dropping to their knees in submission with a piercing stare, and Samantha Richards, a female cop who’s tough, seemingly impenetrable shell is strong enough to resist everyone except the one man it was build up to protect her against. 

**Disclaimer – If you thought the first two Bliss books were hot, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Creative use of handcuffs, batons, a club scene you have to read to believe, and a tough as nails dominant who is blindsided by the one woman strong enough to threaten his resolve not to let his past dictate his future.**

Like the other books in the Bliss series, this book can be read as a stand alone. There are common characters in the books but it is not necessary to read the first two books in the series to read this one.

BLOG TOUR - Never Been Ready by J.L. Berg

TITLE: Never Been Ready

AUTHOR: J.L. Berg

SERIES: Ready Series (Book 2)

Leah Morgan was done with men. After barely surviving a horrendous childhood, and a boyfriend who bailed when things got rough, Leah had given up on love. Then she met him, Hollywood’s new golden boy who suddenly had eyes only for her. She tried to convince herself that one night couldn’t hurt, but after six months, the memories of his mesmerizing gaze and searing touch still invaded her every thought.

Declan James had just one rule when it came to women. Keep it simple, and never linger. That all changed the moment he met Leah. Even across a crowded bar, he could tell she was different. Sweet, with just the right amount of sass, she made him break his golden rule and now he couldn’t walk away.

When casual becomes anything but, and emotions run deep, will Leah and Declan fight their fears, or let old insecurities tear them apart? When Declan’s past comes roaring back in a way neither of them could have expected, will they stand united or be torn apart by the challenges that lie ahead?

It was only supposed to be one night, but only forever will do.

Leah and Declan first meet up in book one of the 'Ready Series' When You're Ready.  However this book can be read as a stand alone as there is enough detail to fill in a gaps and answer any questions.

Leah is not looking for a 'forever' relationship.  She had her fingers burnt in the past when her long term partner left her when she needed him the most.  So when she first hooked up with the Hollywood actor Declan James, she wasn't thinking long term, just one night.  So imagine her surprise 6 months later, when after a particularly hard shift at the hospital where she is a nurse, Declan James turns up on her doorstep!  He is looking for more of the one night loving, she thinks he's an arrogant sod and kicks him out.  Declan doesn't take rejection well, probably because he has never had to experience it before.  What neither of them know is just how much that one night 6 months previously has affected them.  So starts the journey of discovery.

They cannot fathom how much they have changed since that night.  They don't realise that they are each others half, that makes them whole.  Once they do realise this, fireworks go off!!

But then comes the revelation that could either threaten or strengthen their blossoming relationship.

Throughout the story, I found myself wanting everything to work out for the best for everyone.  I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to see how the story progressed.  When things went wrong, I found myself praying for a positive outcome.  For me, when a book makes you feel any of these things, it's worth a read.  Never Been Ready is a true romance story, with lots of twists and turns on the way to their HEA.

My Rating

J.L. Berg is a writer of Contermporary Romance.  She is a California native living in the South.  She’s married to her high school sweetheart and they have two beautiful girls that drive them batty on a daily basis.  

When she’s not writing, you will most likely find her curled up with her iPad reading, in a yoga studio or devouring anything chocolate.
