Every Little Piece of Me - Lexi Ryan

Every Little Piece of Me by Lexi Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read this prequel novella to this, Every Little Promise a month ago. I enjoyed that little story and was dying to know how it would end up turning out. You do really need to read the novella first I think, but don't panic if you haven't, it appeared at the beginning of this book anyway.
Every Little Piece of Me is a second chance romance. Marston and Brinley were crazy about each other as teenagers. Unfortunately, Brinley's family didn't approve and they went their separate ways. Now, years later they have run into one another again and after a night together in Las Vegas, they ended up married. The only problem is that Brinley ran away afterwards and it seems she can't remember as she's now engaged to be married to someone else.
I really liked Marston, it's clear just how much he loves Brinley, even if she can't see it. The two of them make a good couple and although Brinley has a number of things to deal with before she can see why Martson is the man for her, it's obvious that they are perfect together.
Although I had read the prequel, there were a number of things that I had assumed based on that that turned out to be wrong. There were plenty of surprises and revelation. Overall this was a great read and I can't wait to read more in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Wrong Kind of Love - Lexi Ryan

The Wrong Kind of Love by Lexi Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Boys of Jackson Harbor series, but the second that I've read. I actually started with the last in the series, but that really didn't matter. I really enjoyed both this first book and the one I've already read and reading them out of order, doesn't really matter.
This story is about Nic and Ethan. Ethan lost his wife three years earlier and no longer wants to have any kind of relationship with a woman. When he meets Nic, he finds himself drawn to her and they can't resist one another. When they find out that Nic is to be his daughter's nanny, things get a little awkward.
The storyline deals not only with a growing romance but also the question of depression and mental health. In many ways, Nic and Ethan are perhaps not ideally suited, but the way that the story unfolds and their relationship grows, it becomes clear that they are in fact, perfect for one another.
I really liked Ethan and Nic as a couple. The sexual tension between them was really well done and then when they finally worked things out, it worked really well. I'm always a little bit worried about how a child is dealt with in this kind of book, but how the couple interacted with Lilly worked really well.
Having read two books from the Boys of Jackson Harbor series, I'm really keen now to go and read the rest.
