Book Summary:

Going home for the holidays is never easy. But it’s next to impossible when you’ve just been dumped.

Just when I think it can’t get any worse, my grad school nemesis, billionaire playboy Macallan Blaze, finds me sulking, trying to figure out a Plan B.

Life’s a game to him, so when he offers to stand in as my fake boyfriend, I think he's joking. But he's dead serious.

And it’s not like I can afford to turn him down. My tiny hometown only consists of 600 residents, where everyone knows everyone, and gossip spreads faster than wildfire.

Of freaking course, everyone falls in love with Mac the minute they meet him, and it’s like he grew up in Rust Canyon.

But when he lets the cocky facade slip and shows peeks of the man behind the mask, I start to think that maybe I shouldn’t have been so quick to judge.

The scariest part of all is that I might actually like him.


*Festive Faking is a holiday novella that serves as the first book of the Rust Canyon series and can be read as a standalone.


My Thoughts:
 
This enemies-to-lovers forced proximity small-town holiday romance made me wish it was Christmas and I'm not a Christmas fan... When Aspen's relationship ends leaving her without a date for the holidays at home with family in steps Mac her college rival for the last two years. She has only ever thought of Mac as a privileged rich boy. How will she survive a week with him at her family's home? Little does she know Mac isn't anything like he pretends to be. He has secretly had a crush on her for the last two years. He just needs to show her he's more than she believes him to be. Siena brought out all the small-town Christmas magic in this one.

Book Summary:

Emery Blakmor is a monster.


One night. One savage act. And he ripped my life away.
Years later, I’m still running from him in my nightmares.
Except, Emery’s not lurking in the shadows anymore. He’s locked away, staring at the same four walls. Silent. Lethal. Unpredictable.
And the only person he wants to talk to... is me.

I swore I’d make him pay. I promised myself I’d never forget what he did.
But the moment I face him, the world shifts.
The cold fire in his eyes ignites something I refuse to name and, before I know it, he’s pulling me in, trapping me.
I came to break him. Yet, with every secret that slips from his lips, I feel myself unraveling, his hold tightening around far more than just my fear.
Now I wonder—am I his salvation, or his new obsession?
And if he ever breaks free... would I survive what comes next?


My Thoughts:
 
OMG, this was a Thriller, Mystery, and Romance. It sucks you in from the very first page until the last. I was there for every unhinged minute of Emery and Eve's story. She's his therapist out for revenge and he's the killer that stole her family. The entire story is unhinged and I loved every minute until the last page where it leaves you hanging.

Book Summary:

“I’m not giving up on us, Firefly. I meant what I said, you’re mine.”

Nine years ago, Hadley had it all; amazing friends, doting parents, and a boyfriend she loved more than life itself. Her future was set, or so she thought.

After he disappears without so much as a goodbye, Hadley picks up the pieces the best she can. She leaves town in an attempt to put the past behind her, but the damage has already been done.

One mistake. That was all it took to completely destroy Sebastian’s life and everything that ever mattered to him. A stupid, careless mistake and he never regretted anything more.

Upon his return, he tries to salvage what he can, finding solace in women and street racing. But even staring death in the eye can’t hide the fact that something’s missing from his life.

Forced to reunite, thanks to their mutual friends’ wedding, Hadley and Sebastian come face to face with all their unresolved issues and the realization that they may not be as over each other as they thought they were. Could this be their chance to rekindle what they lost, or will the secrets of their past be the deal breaker?


My Thoughts:
 
This was a great small-town romance with unresolved issues between the MFC Hadley and the MMC Sebastian. The tension between the two is awesome. Of course, I loved the bad boy Sebastian with a past he doesn't want to share with Hadley AKA Firefly. The street racing was a nice aspect. Clearing draws Hadley into a life she has never had and the fear of losing Sebastian to the danger of it all. I wasn't expecting the twist so that was a bonus. The story leaves you looking forward to the next book...
