Flawed, I am.
Cracks, I have and they run deep.
But I refuse to accept that I'm damaged.
Six years ago, I turned my life around; moved to a new country, and started from fresh leaving behind the demons and shame that once haunted me. Forgetting the worst moment of my life was impossible but without constant reminders, it was easy to pretend that it never happened.
But then a man surfaced out of the ashes and awoke all those memories from where they'd been stowed. In an instant, the walls I built around myself started crumbling and I was forced to face the past I wanted so hard to forget. But would he be able to pick up the broken pieces, or would I lose my chance at true love?

They always say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what happens when your brain is set on lying to you every time you look in the mirror?
The thing about emotional pain is that it leaves invisible scars.
No one sees them but you.
No one feels them but you.
But those scars can be traced by the gentlest of touch and I found that touch in the form of a man. He didn't heal me, but his love changed me.
The start of our relationship was ... intense. Why? Well, because that same man rejected me years ago and he didn't even remember. I was invisible to him.
Now his heart beats for me and mine for him. Our souls are entwined in a way that would never be separated, but this almost perfect man has a secret that could alter the course of our lives forever.

Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. The reno on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to keep her debilitating anxiety attacks at bay and begin to heal her heart...if she can ignore the ridiculously handsome guy next door. At twenty-eight, single-dad Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his five-year-old daughter and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbor is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel. She’s stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why. It doesn’t matter that their attraction is undeniable—she swore she’d never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer. She’s a barely breathing heartbreak on the edge of recovery.
He’s a crash waiting to happen.
Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.
5 Heart Review by Ashley
My heart is so dang full after finishing The Reality of Everything. Rebecca Yarros left it all in the pages of this book. It was full of heartbreak and healing. Now if you haven't read the previous book, Hallowed Ground, in the Fight & Glory series, I suggest you stop and read that first because the events that take place there carry and are a huge part of this story line. I have loved Morgan since I first met her early on in the series. She was brave and sassy, fun and outgoing. But here, she is stuck in this pit of anxiety, grief, guilt and a never ending cycle of what if. Rightfully so after what she went through but even with all she suffered, she never lost her fighter spirit. Only this time she was fighting for herself. It didn't hurt that her new neighbor and his beyond adorable daughter were there to help her along the way. Enter Jackson. Whew...all the swoony swoons because that man is what book boyfriend (and real life) dreams are made of. He is patient and protective. I love how he put his daughter, Finley, first. And how he couldn't get Morgan out of his head or heart. How he accepted her faults, fears, grief and all. How he let her open up at her own pace, and even when she shared the ugliest of the ugly, he was there to hold her through it. The final quarter of the book had my heart beating out of my chest. I think it's still racing. WOW! The Reality of Everything consumed me. It was full of agony and turmoil. But at the same time brimming with hope and promise. This couple is everything! Jackson and Morgans love stemmed from the purest parts of them. And that ending, be still my heart, was pure perfection.

He’s about to become a very big dill.
A best friend’s sister rom com from USA Today bestselling author JJ Knight
I’m rock hard.
No, not like that.
When that happens, you won’t need me to tell you.
I’m a competitive bodybuilder, ready for my first regional contest. And winning requires more than just killer workouts, diet, or stage presence.
It’s all about the tan.
My training partner Franklin uses the best in the business — Camryn Schultz. She understands the career killer of a badly placed white spot.
She’s also his sister.
So when the craptastic tan I’m given for my first competition requires an emergency patch, Frank knows exactly who to call.
The thing is, when Camryn’s hands hit my skin, more than a few muscles spring to life.
I’m about to head on stage in the tiniest Speedo imaginable and parts of me no longer fit.
What I need to do for my friendship and my future on the circuit is to walk away.
But when Camryn’s got her hands on my hard body, there’s no way this Pickle is going to get anything but hot.

Hot Pickle is a 300-page standalone romantic comedy about workout junkies, bodybuilding gods, and the couple who sprays together, stays together.

Excerpt
Camryn waits for me to shed my pants. I almost trip over them, anxious and unsure. She’s getting to me. I toss them on the floor with my bag and hold out my arms.
“Tell me the damage.â€
Camryn makes a slow walk around me, tapping the end of a makeup brush against her cheek.
“You smeared the color here when you put on your trunks. You should always wear them for your final day tan to avoid this.†Her hand smooths something low on my ass, and everything in my body goes warm.
My eyes blink shut, and I try to concentrate on something other than her touch. I run through my bodybuilding poses, picturing myself on the stage.
Something bonks my nose, and I open my eyes to see Camryn standing there again. “I have your back acceptable. You shouldn’t lose any points.â€
Before I can even get in a thank you, the end of her brush pokes my chest. “But we have to do something about these abs. You have a light patch just below your navel in the critical area from belly button to…â€
She hesitates. "Below.â€
I don’t know what she was going to call it, but apparently it’s a word she doesn’t want to use around me.
I can’t stifle my grin. “You saying my happy trail is too bright?â€
She rolls her eyes. “I’m saying the lack of consistent color won’t do you any favors with the judges.â€
“Do with me what you must.â€
Okay, now hold up.
I have to pause the story here.
Because this, my friend, is where Camryn gets on her knees in front of my junk, a tube in her hand.
And things get really awkward.

Author: Claire Hastings
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 24, 2020

Leona Filipe loves her job. As the head of housekeeping at the luxurious Indigo Royal Resort on St. Thomas, USVI, she has seen it all and has the wild stories to prove it. She works with her best friends, is close enough to see her family often, and has the perfect friends-with-benefits relationship. Life is pretty damn amazing. Except for the two weeks each year that Cullen Cruz stays at the resort. He is the only man who can get under her skin. But that is all he’s getting under. She made that mistake years ago, and it will never happen again.
Fresh off the news of his “retirement†from football, Cullen Cruz cannot wait to get to the Indigo Royal for his annual retreat before returning to England to figure out what’s next. Only this year, it’s been turned into a “working vacation†by his agent, who volunteered Cullen to run a skills camp for local kids. While that wouldn’t normally sit well, extending the trip to teach some kids how to kick a ball does mean two more weeks getting to see the woman he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about since their first, and last, encounter ten years ago. When fate forces these two to confront what happened between them that night all those years ago, they find that there is more to each other than they realized, and that maybe they don’t annoy each other as much as they thought...

Excerpt
She stood her ground, trying to make herself taller, which really only resulted in her pushing her beautiful breasts out farther. She swallowed hard. “Stay the fuck away from me, Cruz.â€
“No, Menina, I won’t,†he responded, stepping even closer, so there was almost no gap between them now. He could hear her breath catch as he did so, which made his heart speed up even more. Maybe she did still want him. “Here’s what I think. I think you want me. Under all that piss and vinegar, what you really want is another ride,†he whispered into her ear.
Her breath hitched slightly, betraying the scowl on her face. Regaining her composure just as quick as she’d let it slip, she growled, “Not a chance.â€
“Really?†he whispered again, skeptical of her answer.
“Really.â€
He reached out and put his hand on her waist. Before she could pull away, he yanked her into him, hard. Her soft curves smashed into his hard chest, making them both catch their breath. He felt her body shiver in his arms and saw her eyes darken with desire, just as a bolt of lust ran through his own body. Before he could stop himself, he reached down and scooped her up by her ass. She let out a little gasp, which he quickly silenced by covering her mouth with his.
She tasted sweet, just like he remembered. Her soft lips felt like heaven against his and, in this moment, for the life of him he couldn’t remember why he hadn’t done this years ago. Her body was stiff in his arms, as if she were fighting an internal battle on whether or not to resist. She fisted her hands in his shirt, as if she couldn’t make up her mind if she wanted to push him away or pull him in closer. Helping her make the decision, he pulled her in even tighter. As much as she tried to hide it, he knew she wanted this—wanted him. He’d seen the flame of desire in her eyes.
After a moment, the initial shock wore off, and she slid her arms around his neck, returning his kiss fully. It was like something had ignited the flame inside her and she poured all her passion and anger into her efforts. Her tongue met his and it was like fireworks went off in his body. He couldn’t remember the last time something as simple as a kiss had felt this good. Maybe never. His left hand dipped to squeeze her butt cheek, causing her to whimper and moan in excitement. This only fueled him on more—kissing her harder, deeper, wanting even more of her.
When he finally pulled away, it took him a moment to open his eyes, afraid that he might see regret in hers. But it wasn’t regret that was shining back at him—it was a mix of surprise and longing. And it made him want to kiss her again.
She unhooked her arms from his neck, sliding back down his body. When her feet met the ground, she lifted her hand to her lips, slowly running her fingers across them, in disbelief at what had just happened. She looked back up at him, but only for a second before turning and running away.

“Girl, you had me worried sick!” Seraphina shouts into the phone. I pull the phone away from my ear as I stand on a sidewalk outside of a clothing store. “I know Noah let you know I was fine, so calm down.” “How was I to know he didn’t just tell me that and he is really a serial killer?” “I think you have been watching too much Investigation Discovery lately.” “Oh come on, you know it keeps me entertained. Anyway, what the hell happened?” I sit on a bench outside the ice cream shop next door. This is going to be a long talk. “You better be sitting down for this.” I hear her fumbling around in the background. “Hold on a sec, let me grab some popcorn.” I roll my eyes at her waiting until she gives me the go to talk. “Kyle was a dick.” “No shit. I could have told you that.” “He wasn’t always that way, Sera. He was great for a while.” “Fine. He wasn’t always an asshole but I told you before you even agreed to marry him I wasn’t getting good juju from him.” I snort. “Sera, you say you don’t get good juju from a lot of people. And when you do get good juju it’s usually only for the night with some guy with a hot bod.” “Ugh. Whatever. So tell me what set fire to your feet so you had to hightail it out of dodge.” I take a deep breath before I start. “Kyle cheated on me. A lot. In fact, he was having an affair with Becca. And—” “Shut the front door. I knew something was happening between them.” “Sera, you weren’t even around when it happened.” “Juju.” I shake my head as I tell her the rest of the story. The letter, Becca’s child, her nonchalance over the whole thing. “That fucking bitch. I knew something was off with her.” For years, Sera has been trying to warn me away from Becca. She has never been a fan, mostly because Becca was a bitch when she found out I made a friend in college who was my new best friend. The two of them never got along. “It is what it is. I can’t change the past.” “How are you holding up with all this?” I play with the fabric of my ripped jeans thinking about everything. “It ripped me apart. Seeing Becca’s son’s eyes and knowing the truth. I felt so betrayed. I was ruined. Running was the only thing I could do. But I’m managing now.” “Where did you go?” I never told Sera about this place. And I still want to keep it my secret. “I just got in the car and drove. Went to the coast.” “How did Noah find you?” “Well he is a cop; he has his ways.” Not a total lie. “You don’t usually want someone around when you run away.” “Yeah, well I needed him when I didn’t know I did.” Sera exaggerates a gasp into the phone. “Are you telling me you aren’t as cold-hearted as you pretend to be?” “Only around you,” I joke. “So how has this affected you and Noah?” I bite my lip thinking about the last twenty-four hours we spent together. Me pouring my heartache and pain into every word I said. And he was there for me, listening, holding my hand. “It’s been good,” I whisper. “Good? You got to give me more than that!” I sigh, trying to put it all into words without giving away too much. “He’s just been there. Listened. Supported me. With him, I don’t have to try.” “Mmhmm. I see.” “See what?” “You’re in love with him.” “I—I’m...” I don’t know why I’m keeping it from her or trying to make up some excuse. I am in love with him. There is no denying it. “That bad, huh?” “Fine,” I groan. “I’m in love with him. Okay?” Sera laughs into the phone. “And how does that make you feel?” “Are you my therapist now too?” “I’m kidding, Anna. You sound happy despite all the shit you just found out. And that makes me happy. So what are you guys doing?” “Well I ran here with no clothes so I am buying a few things. Noah wants to take me on a proper date tonight.” “Make sure you buy some fancy lingerie.” “Newsflash, Sera, he’s seen me naked.” “Yeah, but fancy lingerie does something to a man.” I shake my head at her. “I’m going to go. Need to be ready in a few hours.” “Have fun tonight! And green lace will look best on you!” ♦ ♦ ♦

   Jonah Monroe might be a genius when it comes to his studies but he’s never been able to find his footing in the real world. A college graduate by the age of eighteen and a doctoral candidate at twenty-one, he doesn’t fit in with his peers and lacks the social graces that would attract friends, let alone a lover. He’s resigned himself to his status as awkward and forever alone, until one bad decision turns his world upside down.
He shouldn’t have even been in that club. He shouldn’t have let a sexy stranger buy him a drink. And he definitely should’ve have let the man kiss him like he’d never been kissed before.
Reed Matheson has done a lot of dumb shit in his short life but he never would have guessed that kissing a stranger in a bar would be the best decision he ever made. He didn’t expect the intense connection he feels for the shy, socially awkward stranger to linger long after he was gone. And he certainly never expected to see the cute guy the next morning, preparing to teach his class.
Reed is a student and Jonah is a TA. Unwritten rules or not, nothing more can happen between them, at least that’s what Jonah keeps telling himself. But Reed has never been one to play by the rules and he’s not about to start now, when for the first time, his heart is on the line.
