Summary

L.A. can be a lonely and isolating place. After a few short months of L.A. living, Ava James has learned that lesson well. As an aspiring actress, she finally lands the role of a lifetime. Except it’s not on the big screen as she originally hoped. But it’s still a role millions of women and some men would die for: nanny for single dad and Hollywood’s A-list English actor, Clark Grant. Day to day life with his easy-going and adorable young daughter Brooklyn isn’t much of adjustment. Ava has nannied for many Hollywood families. However, the heat building between Clark and Ava is close to catching fire. And you know there’s nothing worse than a wildfire in L.A.! Will Ava continue to reach for the stars, or will one star in particular set her on a course she had no intention of taking?

Review

“Yeah. A lot can happen in a year, Clark. I never would have foreseen this as my future.”

Summary

Laia
If you ever leave me, you’d better pray to God I don’t find you.

Words that have woken me up in the night more times than I care to remember this last year.

Running from your past isn’t much fun, running from a past that has every intention of causing you actual bodily harm if it ever finds you? Really not fun.

Even if it has led me to Clua, the most picture-perfect little island I’ve ever seen.

I’ve never had a problem blending in before. Fading into the background has never been an issue. Until now. Here. Where the universe’s whole energy seems to be geared towards throwing me into the path of, I’m not gonna lie, possibly the most ruggedly handsome stranger I’ve ever had the pleasure of nearly plastering to a road.

Accidentally, I swear.

Felix
Widower.

It’s what people see when they look at me. It’s what I see when I look in the mirror.

I had it all and it was taken from me. No way to make it better. No way to ever get it back. Most days I’ve come to terms with it. Most days I can block it out or fall into women that look like her. Women I can pretend are her for just a fraction of time.

Until Laia.

Until she crashed into my life and just kept on crashing. She’s nervous, and wary, and about as open to being with me as I am to being with her even if she does kiss me like she means it every, single time.

The best thing about her though—the thing I can’t seem to make myself walk away from? She doesn’t know enough about my past to look at me like I’m broken.

But that’s the thing about pasts … they always catch up with you in the end.

Review

“Losing people you love doesn’t just leave its mark, it changes everything about you.”

4.5 Stars ⭐️ Safe in Clua deals with tough subjects, such as grief and trauma. As well as contains some scenes that may be upsetting to some readers about domestic violence. There is a trigger warning in the beginning. But Safe in Clua is more than that. If that doesn’t bother you, I would recommend reading it. It’s real and emotional, and there is a lot that someone may be able to resonate with in one way or another.
