Unraveling Chaos

unraveling the chaos that are my thoughts

Mr. First Love

November 3, 2022

Summary

First love deserves a second chance…

Mark Price is a wickedly handsome, tattooed billionaire made of solid muscle. He’s content with focusing on traveling around the world, spending time with different women in every city. It’s all fine by him until he runs into the one woman to ever hold his heart.

It’s not like anyone ever forgets their first love, right?

Too bad it looks like she has no intentions of ever trusting him again. Probably because he broke her heart into a million little pieces eight years ago.

***

For Lily Maxwell, adulthood looks a lot different than the one she’d dreamed about, but she has everything she needs: an amazing daughter, a stable job that pays their bills, and wonderful friends and family who support her. She’s made peace with her past, determined to move forward.

But when her gorgeous-as-sin ex comes barreling into her life, she can’t get him out of her mind.

He makes her want to take a chance.

To believe again.

She tells herself she’s not going that road again.

Even if he does make her want to throw caution to the wind. Even if her body is covered in little electric sparks at the thought of him. Even if he’s the best sex she’s ever had.

She has to think about the one person who matters the most to her – her daughter, Violet.

Being a single mother isn’t easy, and the billionaire playboy is definitely not the father material.

Is Lily a fool to let a second chance at happily ever after pass her by?

But what happens if following her heart turns out to be her biggest mistake of all?

*Amazon bestselling author Emily Krat is back with a heartfelt, second chance, steamy romance. This story is a standalone novel.*

Review

“It’ll never be over between you two. From the moment he saw you, he was f-d. You both were.”

I Still Love You

October 25, 2022

Summary

• I left but now I’m back, and the last person he wants to see is me. •

LAYLA

Two years ago, I fled.

I have no choice but to pack up and move back to Quaint when a tiny computer glitch screws me out of my next traveling nurse opportunity. At first, it makes me anxious. Because he’s there. My ex, the man I pulled away from instead of leaning on after tragedy struck.

Then I realize I’m being gifted another chance to redeem myself from past mistakes and release the guilt I’ve been harboring. The problem? Luke Sacks has no intention of forgiving me. He spits nasty insults at me every chance he gets. Glares at me with those brilliant green eyes that used to worship me.

It only worsens when I put my foot in my mouth and lie to a coworker that Luke and I are together again. Only, we’re far from it.

LUKE
Two years ago, she fled.

After a bar fight leaves me with a nasty little gash, my twin brother forces me to the emergency room. In a flash, it’s as if the past two years haven’t gone by because she’s there. My ex, the woman I lowered to one knee for.

The chance encounter is short-lived, but then suddenly, she’s back in Quaint, declaring to a coworker that we’re back together. I go from being her ex-fiancé to her fake boyfriend in seconds. Stunned, I don’t clear the air. First, because this guy rubs me the wrong way. Second, the heartbreak is too real, the anger too palpable.

So, I strike up a deal that I’m positive will have her leaving Quaint permanently. Because there’s no way I’ll ever forgive Layla Robinson for what she did to me, for the shockwave she leveled me with when she pulled her Houdini act.

This time when she leaves, I’ll be looking forward to it.

TRIGGER WARNING – SEXUAL ASSAULT, VIOLENT BEHAVIOR

Hottie on Her Shelf

July 11, 2022

Hottie on Her Shelf by Christi Barth is now live!

He’ll get between her… pages.

Hallie Scott expected the hangover from her thirtieth birthday. She did not expect to find her calm, orderly life as Swan Cove’s head librarian to completely change overnight when her best friend added Hallie to the mayoral ballot because of one little remark. One. Now she’s going head-to-head with the small coastal town’s prominent “prince,” Fitz Montgomery…whose charm is about to get seriously checked.

All Fitz wants is to prove himself, beyond being the latest in the unbroken line of Montgomery mayors. Nobody, least of all Fitz, expected the town’s cute-as-hell librarian to step up and run against him. Hallie’s definitely in over her head, which is a problem, since Fitz wants a fair fight. But is he helping Hallie level the playing field…or arming his opponent?

Hallie and Fitz are on completely different sides. Their backgrounds, their lives, their ongoing ebook vs paperback argument. But they’re both about to learn that the art of war is nowhere near as complicated as falling for the enemy…

Review

The coincidence was almost laughable. They had so much more in common than she’d ever imagined.

Small towns have certain beliefs and tend to be set in their ways. It’s tough for change to come about. Not that it doesn’t happen, but it does so very slowly. For the first time in a while, someone other than a Montgomery is on the ballot to run for mayor. Fitz has to work harder to win votes. Since Hallie isn’t originally from Swan Cove, the people look down upon her for being from the wrong side of town. Everyone automatically assumed that Fitz would still be mayor by the end because Swan Cove’s mayor has always been a Montgomery for as long as people have known. 

Fitz and Hallie are more alike than they realized. While there are some topics they disagree on, there are many that they agree on. Their experience may be different, but the overall takeaway was the same. 

I felt bad for Fitz. He put his life on hold to continue the family legacy. Even when he wanted to quit, he didn’t. His parents may be a little too much, but they wanted what was best for the family. They just went about it the wrong way. At least at the end of the day, Fitz knew they loved him, even when they didn’t show it. 

I was not too fond of Hallie at first. She may not have been a “snob,” but she was a “reverse snob.” Judging people because they were rich. But, she did show growth because she eventually realized it and tried her best to change.

I enjoyed reading Hottie on Her Shelf, but it took longer than I thought it would take me to finish. But, it was light and fun. A nice change from all of the heavy topics I’ve been reading. I would read something from Christi Barth again.

“A Bánh Mì for Two” is a feel-good story abo “A Bánh Mì for Two” is a feel-good story about food, family, and self-discovery.

Dual POVs: Lan, who lives in Sai Gon, wants to be the perfect daughter and fulfill “expectations,” all the while dealing with the grief of losing her father. Vivi is a Vietnamese-American who comes to Vietnam for the first time, wanting to learn more about her family and herself. Their love of food connects them. 

I wasn’t expecting to get emotional as I did.

“A Bánh Mì for Two” was what I needed growing up. Stories with characters who look like me are coming to traditional publishing in YA. And people even know about it!

If only the blog was real! I would use it the next time I go to Vietnam. It needs to be a thing.

It was relatable. However, I wished for more at moments. 
A few times, I had to stop to look up words. Since I can understand Vietnamese more than I can read it, I had to listen to the words to understand what they were. It would have been an even better experience if I had listened to the audiobook. 

“A Bánh Mì for Two” was one of my anticipated books of the year, and I am honored to be gifted a copy.
