Searching For Always by Jennifer Probst

Searching For, #4

(June 30, 2015, Gallery Books)

BOOK SUMMARY:

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Jennifer Probst sparks a blissful mind-body connection as her “sexy, satisfying” (Kirkus Reviews) new series continues!

She’s an expert in helping others de-stress, but Arilyn Meadows is running on fumes. Along with her job counseling singles seeking soul mates at the Kinnections agency in Verily, New York, she’s a yoga teacher, animal shelter volunteer, anger management therapist, and helping hand to her beloved grandfather. No time to find Mr. Right—but after discovering her yogi boyfriend in a compromising asana, Arilyn would rather dog-sit for her honeymooning friend Kate than risk her heart on another downward dog. And when police officer Stone Petty—radiating masculinity and bad-boy attitude—is sent to her for mandatory lessons in cooling off when the job gets too hot, Arilyn vows to ignore his seductive glances and sexy grin. But there’s no halting their sizzling flirtation—a red-hot, high-speed chase that’s breaking all the limits.

REVIEW:

Searching for Always is the forth book in Jennifer Probst’s Searching For series. I was greatly anticipating reading Arilyn’s story and loved it as I have loved every story in the series.

Arilyn Meadows is the third partner at the Kinnections dating service with Kate and Kennedy. She does the computer programming, yoga instruction and anger management counseling. Arilyn is upset because she has just been hurt for the last time by her boyfriend of 5 years, Jacob. He was her yoga instructor and they had a relationship on and off until she caught him having sex with another woman.

Stone Petty is the police officer who was called when Genevieve was having trouble with her ex David the year before. Stone and Arilyn didn’t like each other from the beginning. He has been a police officer for years, who has transferred to Verily from the Bronx after an incident. Stone also has been cheated on and also caught his ex having sex with his old partner.

After an incident during his shift, Stone finds himself signed up for anger management class and Arilyn is the teacher. He has no intent in taking the class, especially since she is the teacher and he doesn’t like her. Stone fights everything Arilyn tries to teach him in the class to calm down when his anger flares up. He is told by his boss he has no choice but to take the class and complete it, so he decides to deal with it. Arilyn isn’t happy that he is in the class either, but there is also no denying there is a crackle of electricity between them and a fierce attraction.

Arilyn helps foster rescue dogs. There is a house which she thinks maybe abusing dogs. Expecting to find large dogs, she is surprised to find a tiny Chihuahua which she calls Pinky. Stone catches her trespassing on the property. She begs him not to arrest her and allow her to take the dog so she can save it by treating it’s wounds. Stone allows her to take the dog, but tells her that she owes him and brings it to her house. They share an explosive kiss, which proves the pull they have with each other. Stone tells her there is a price for saving her and the dog. He says when she is ready to take the leap with him and see how their relationship goes, she has to ask him.

Arilyn tells Kate and Kennedy about Stone. They encourage her to ask him to Kate’s wedding. At the bachelorette party they have for Kate, Stone is there with his partner to stop a fight. He hears all the noise in the room where they are for the party. Genevieve tells him that Arilyn wants to talk to him. Stone goes in the room, the other women think he is the cop stripper they hired and want him to start the show. Since Kate is nervous, she has Arilyn sit in her chair. When Stone sees Arilyn, he asks her what’s going on. She tells him he should give the women the show they want. He starts to strip but only focuses on Arilyn and the show is for her.

The scene at Kate’s wedding was awesome. It was great to have Stone hang out with Slade, Nate and Wolfe. Even better was having Carina, Max, Nick, Alexa, Michael and Maggie there since they were in the Marriage to a Billionaire series. Kate and Kennedy encourage Arilyn to see how things go with Stone. She is Searching for Always.  Forever. Stone is only interested in a physical relationship since he has been so hurt in his past.

Arilyn asks Stone to take Pinky the Chihuahua since she watches Robert for Kate. He doesn’t want to and tries to get someone else to watch the dog. Reluctantly he starts getting attached to Pinky after taking care of her. After Stone and Arilyn’s relationship progresses, she tells Stone she loves him. He isn’t ready for a relationship, he pushes her away, says that he isn’t good for her and gives her back Pinky. Arilyn’s grandfather tells Stone that some things are worth trying and fighting for. Stone realizes he has been wrong and goes to get back Pinky and Arilyn.

In the end Arilyn realizes the greatest relationship she has is the one with her friends. I loved this series and absolutely recommend it!

Release Blitz for Inevitable (Key West Series #2) by C.A. Harms

Title: Inevitable

Series: Key West Series #2

Author: C.A. Harms

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 30, 2015

Harper Jameson, had built the necessary walls to keep her heart safe. Never again would she allow herself to be weak and vulnerable.

Confident and full of attitude.

A mask she wore that many fell for.

Except Easton Black.

He was equally confident, cocky and knew what he wanted.

Determined.

Things he wanted rarely escaped his grasp. He was immune to the façade Harper had created.

She was intriguing.

It was inevitable and Harper could sense that there was no way out. Easton Black would no doubt be the man who could change everything.

People aren’t always as strong as they appear to be on the outside…

The moment I knocked on her door, I think my heart jumped in to my throat. A deep vicious bark had my nerves on high alert. The bark didn’t sound like any dog I had ever been around. I know she had one, I remember the day she brought it by Jett’s place to show him, the day she picked him up. But that bark, the one that was still flowing out from behind her door, I had to admit had me a little worried.

I wasn’t an animal guy. I had never had one and had no desire to change that.

When the door came open and I looked down to see a head the size of a car looking back at me, I swallowed hard. Okay so maybe the size of a car was an exaggeration but in panic mode everyone tends to do that.

“That is not a dog,” I stated. “That’s is a tank.”

Harper laughed. “No actually this is Brutus, and I promise you he isn’t just a dog.”

I looked up at her, cocking my eyebrow.

“He is my best friend, my cuddle buddy and the protector.” She explained as she rubbed his head in a motherly way. “He may be big.”

“He’s fucking huge,” I corrected.

“Okay he may be huge, but he is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. Don’t let him fool ya, he’s a big baby.” I still wasn’t convince. The idea of a dog being almost as big as most motorcycles, had me convinced that I should wait in the car.

“Will you stop being such a pussy,” Harper stated as she placed her hand on her hip. “He won’t hurt you. In fact he is scared of his own shadow on a good day.”

She opened the door and I took a step inside, still leery of the dog that could stand on his hind legs and be taller than me. She led me toward the couch and directed me to have a seat.

“I just need five minutes.” She rushed off before I could say another word.

I was tense and afraid to move, Brutus, watched me from the left end of the couch. I continued to stare straight ahead, thinking if I avoided eye contact, maybe he would walk away.

My actions had the opposite effect. I felt his head nudge my knee and I stiffened, this shit was messed up. Dogs were supposed to be small and cute. Never should a dog be larger than their owner…never.

I strong nudge against my leg once more, made me sweat a little. Then Brutus went one step further and placed his paw on my thigh, laying his head next to it, letting out a loud, humph.

“Hey there big guy,” my voice vibrated with tension. Harper was right, what the fuck. I was acting like a damn pussy.

I lifted my hand and began petting the top of Brutus’s head. “You’re not that scary are ya?” It was definitely more of a question than a reassuring statement. I still wasn’t completely convinced that he wasn’t going to eat me before Harper finished getting ready.

“Okay, this isn’t so bad is it?”

I let out a breath I had been holding since Harper left me alone with the grizzly. His big puppy dog eyes looking up at me as they sagged in awe. Apparently he liked it when you scratched behind his ears.

So for the next, what felt like ten minutes, I continued to pet him in the place he enjoyed the most. Yes I still silently prayed that I made it out of here with all my limbs in tacked but I may have been able to relaxed, just a little.

I enjoy happy endings in my love stories. Loving those scenes that give it the needed angst and heat to keep you hooked and wanting more. Just enough drama to make her heart race and your stomach flutter. I haven't always been a lover of Romance and had once been addicted to a good Mystery. Just recently I have taken on a new liking and now I am addicted to Romance Novel.

I am a Limitless Publishing Author and love sharing my stories with my great fans. Feedback is great and I really enjoy interacting with my readers.

I live in Illinois and enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. 

You will always find me with my kindle or paperback in hand as it is my favorite pass time.

And I never leave home without a small notebook. You never know when an idea for a new story will strike.

Searching for Beautiful by Jennifer Probst

Blurb:

The highly anticipated third novel in the Searching For series from Jennifer Probst, “one of the most exciting breakout novelists” (USA TODAY), featuring a runaway bride and the man who wants to be more than just her best friend…

Genevieve MacKenzie has her life completely under control. About to wed the charming Chief doctor at the local hospital, she’s an up-and-coming surgeon with everything she could ever want. Until an escape through the church window on the day of her wedding sends her life into a tailspin…and flings her right into her best friend’s arms.

When Wolfe catches his best friend falling out a window on her wedding day, he doesn’t ask questions. He whisks her away, determined to watch over her and discover the truth behind her desperate escape. But when his feelings turn more than platonic, he realizes he may risk his most important relationship in order to protect his damaged heart, and the woman he loves.

Can Genevieve and Wolfe’s friendship turn into something deeper—or is it already too late for true love?

Review:

Searching for Beautiful is the third book in the Searching For series by Jennifer Probst. I absolutely love the series and Searching for Beautiful was just as awesome as the first two books in the series, Searching for Someday and Searching for Perfect.

Genevieve MacKenzie is a surgeon and is preparing to get married to her boss Dr. David Riscetti. There is something that bothers her about getting married to David, but she can't exactly place it. She decides she can't marry him and leaves the chirch before the ceremony. After jumping out the window of the church, she realizes she doesn't know what to do next, until she sees her best friend Wolfe.

Wolfe has been friends with Gen for a very long time and is one of her best friends. He realizes she needs time to process what she has done by running away from the wedding. He takes her to his step-father's cabin to recuperate. Knowing everyone will be worried, Wolfe texts and calls everyone to let them know Gen is ok but needs space and alone time to figure things out.

Gen tells Wolfe what has been going on and how David has been.She realizes David has been very controlling and mentally abusing her. He has caused rifts between her, her family and friends. After taking time off, Gen decides to go back to work. She has a hard time at work caused by things that David has done and said. Since it is so uncomfortable at the hospital Gen decides to take a break from the hospital and goes to work at Kinnections with Kate, Kennedy and Arilyn.

Not wanting to let her go and being the controlling person he is, David confronts Gen at her house and the police are called. Worrying about her safety, Wolfe moves in with her. Since Gen and Wolfe are such good friends, they share things with each other. When Gen tries to go back to dating but is rejected, Wolfe shows her just how desirable she is to him.

Gen and Wolfe tell each other the feelings they have for each other. They decide to try a "friends with benefits" relationship. Gen starts falling in love with Wolfe and tells him she loves him as more than a friend.

Wolfe is haunted by his past and feels he isn't capable to love Gen the way she deserves and is afraid of hurting her. Even though he also loves her as more than a friend, he pushes her away and tries to return to just being friends. Gen tells him they can't even just be friends anymore because it hurts her too much to even see or talk to him.

His step-father Sawyer tries to tell Wolfe that he knows how he feels. That he went through the same thing with his wife Julietta. Sawyer felt damaged and not worthy of her love, but Julietta made him realize he was wrong. He tells Wolfe that when a woman loves a man, she doesn't see any of the past or the bad stuff, just the future.

While having dinner with his adopted grandmother Mama Conte, she tells Wolfe that she has seen the way he and Gen look at each other. She believes that they are soul mates and meant to balance each other. Mama Conte tells Wolfe the beautiful he is searching for is the love he has with Gen.

Wolfe goes to see Gen, who is at her families house and doesn't want to see him. Her mom lets him in and he talks to Gen. Wolfe tells her he loves her and always has loved her. Wolfe says that he realizes he doesn't have to let the past define who he is or their future together. That he will spend the rest of his life showing her if she will let him.

I loved this story. The bond that Gen and Wolfe have is a beautiful one. Wolfe always looks after Gen and takes care of her. In return Gen keeps trying to get Wolfe to let her in and get past the demons he has. I am glad that he finally did. It was also very nice to see the characters from the Marriage to a Billionaire series in this story. With Sawyer, Julietta and Mama Conte.

I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series Seaching for Always, which is Arilyn's story.
