Release Blitz & Review: She Was Mine First

 

SHE WAS MINE FIRST

M. Robinson

Release Date: October 30

Discreet Cover

'




He’s a determined billionaire used to getting what he wants, and she’s prepared to marry the wrong man to prove to them she’s moved on. But neither of them is ready to let go of the past… 

   A small-town, friends to lovers, second chance romance from Wall Street Journal & USA Bestselling Author M. Robinson

Being the man of honor in my best friend Livvy’s wedding wouldn’t be such a big deal…

If I wasn’t in love with her.

But I won’t turn her down. No matter how much it’ll tear my heart out to watch her walk down the aisle toward another man.

It should have been us—from friends to lovers and back again. But after college, I was so busy building my empire that I let her slip through my fingers. She was my first. And once she realizes he’s the wrong one for her…

I’ll be her last.



     



I have read several books by this author an she is one of my favorites.  This one was a quick read and just ok for me.  It is a first love/second chance romance.  Great trope.  I LOVED Ethan.  He is a good guy. A good friend. A true support person for Livvy. 

I didn't like Livvy's parents. I didn't like the reason they parted ways.  And I really had a hard time connecting with Livvy.  She was so open with Ethan and then rather than own up to her feelings--for 10 years---she chose Beau.  I was head scratching at this point. But it ultimately brings Ethan back into her life. And being the good guy that he is, he lays his heart on the line for her. 

Some angst. Some flash back to teen years. A whole lot of heart on every page.  


I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

BLURB

The Montgomery Ink Legacy series continues with a forbidden romance between two best friends and the woman they both crave. Ford, Noah, and Greer aren't ready for what happens next.

I fell for my best friend long before I knew what that meant. Only I know he'll never love me back.
He's stuck in his head and his past demons and can't see what is right in front of him.
But when Greer loses her home and needs a place to stay, both Noah and I know the only place she belongs is with us—in every way possible.
Now I'm falling for both of my roommates and trying to keep the people I protect safe.
Only someone is coming for them, and I can't stop the inevitable fall.

I just have to hope that we made the right choices and that one day soon Noah and Greer will finally see who we can be.
Before we lose it all…or I finally walk away for good.

This next gen story takes us to Noah's story.  Noah and Ford a best friends, co-workers and have a complicated sometimes acted upon romance with each other. Greer co-owns the cafe in their little strip mall.  When Greer's life falls apart, the two men are more than happy to help her out.  

Close proximity has them all realizing they have feelings for each other.  It takes Noah a bit longer to voice them, but eventually, they all agree to give it a go. There are some suspicious things happening in the background but the bulk of the story is the blossoming romance with these 3. 

I loved seeing their families all supporting them. I loved the heart to heart Noah had with his dad.  Greer and Ford's brothers all deserve their own books I think.  Wonderful epilogue!  I can't wait to get Daisy's book.

FORGOT TO SAY GOODBYE BY S.L. SCOTT

Release Date: October 19th

Tropes: He Falls First/Surprise Pregnancy/Office Romance/Enemies to Lovers/Second Chance




Noah Westcott should come with a warning: Too Hot to Handle! 

The man is stunningly handsome with his embracing brown eyes and lips that make me want to kiss that smirk right off his face. How could I resist? 

Spoiler: I didn’t. That was my first mistake.

 I blame him for the second. It should have been easy and fun. No strings attached. No feelings. As if he commanded it like he did me in the bedroom, I did exactly what I said I wouldn’t. I fell for him. 

Two years later, the same man walks into my life. Again. A lot has changed. Not his devastating good looks, or that smug grin, but for me everything. 

Now that Noah’s back—in my office and hanging around after hours—I can’t get distracted. I must protect my secret—the one who calls me Mommy.   

 




I love a single parent romance. This one has a billionaire family or two in it which I don't usually gravitate towards.  Makes no difference because Noah and Liv are just awesome people.  It takes a minute but Noah gets her to let her guard down. 

Loved Noah's family. His siblings were just a perfect foil for him.  I loved that they embraced Liv no questions asked.  Great side characters and a bit of intrigue.  Liv and Noah were just perfect for each other.  Nice quick read but all the feels for this little family.

He’s a De Kysa. I’m a Bamcorda.
Two rival families from the East Coast.
But it wasn’t always that way.
A year ago, he stole my first kiss and gave me a night to remember.

Since then, he’s changed.
Now he’s a powerful don with the presence of an approaching storm.

He agrees to help me hunt down who stole my inheritance.
But everything comes with a price, especially when you strike a deal with the devil.

Will trusting the enemy get my life back, or will it cost me everything?

You know that this author will bring all the heat. Devil's Lair lives up to all the promise.  Mafia romance with a huge twist. Self sufficient heroine and grumpy broody Mafia Don.  What a perfect read!

Massimo and Bianca have always traveled in similar circles. Both are from mafia families. Both families have done unspeakable things to each other. The final straw being at Bianca's expense. But she has a plan.  And her old acquaintance can help her. 

I loved the back and forth between these two. I loved the "Lair" aspect but didn't think it was necessary for the story other than being the catalyst for their se$y times. Great setting and loved the surprise twist ending.  

Great story once again by this author!

There’s a lot to explain.

I gather information and continue to watch those who feared me.

Secrets spill as tempers rise and the truths start to surface.

I can’t change the past, but I can help mend the future.
