Story
One great love. That’s what every heart craves. I was lucky enough to find mine when I was 19. But I wouldn’t describe myself as lucky now. I have the perfect husband. The perfect family. The perfect life. But I don’t remember any of it.

Story
When I came to New York City, I was engaged to the man of my dreams, and I was ready to take the marketing industry by storm. But now? I'm single and working at a dead-end job with a pervy boss. It's official - this city kicked my a**. It's time to pack my bags. A blind date that my friend set up to convince me to stay is most definitely not going to change my mind. Zero chance. Goodbye NYC.

Story
The Untouchables. That's what everyone calls them. At least, it's my best friend's nickname for them. And since she's the only one that talks to me at my new school, I'll take her word for it. The nickname probably comes from the fact that they're exorbitantly wealthy. Old wealth. The kind that isn't flaunted around. But you can tell by the way they carry themselves. Or maybe the name just refers to the fact that they're so beautiful it's almost hard to look at them.

My last single friend just got married, leaving me roommate-less. When Rory shows up at my door, I'm more than a little surprised to find out that a guy has answered my ad. Living with a man wasn't exactly what I had in mind - especially one as handsome as Rory. He's charming, confident, and...completely off-limits. He's a total player. And I don't want to end up getting played. But when all the other applicants don't seem to be a good fit, I can't help but let my mind wander back to him. What's the worst that could happen if I let him move in?

I put my foster father behind bars. It doesn't matter that he deserved it. What matters is that he's powerful, manipulative, and now, he wants me dead. I can feel someone watching me. I know my time is running out. The only other person who cares if I live or die is a masked stranger. So I'm putting my life in the vigilante's hands - and maybe a piece of my heart along with it. Even though I'm worried that he's just as dangerous as the man I sent to prison.

The easiest way to get over someone is to never see them again, right? So when my ex stomps on my heart and throws it into the ocean...I decide to spend my summer on the opposite side of the country. And this summer is all about me: mending my broken heart (screw all men), figuring out what I want to do with my life (a life that thankfully does not include my ex), and trying to better myself (does eating ice cream count?). But all of my perfect planning comes to a halt when the sexiest lifeguard in existence asks me out. I have to say no.

I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I've poured my soul into my music, but I've never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile. And now I'm going back. After 10 years. I hope I can explain that after all this time. I still want her to be my forever girl.

Normal. It was a relative term, or so I thought. After a relationship from hell that almost killed me, I didn’t want another man in my life. A job, a home, and great friends were all I needed. Simple. Uncomplicated. Until two men interrupted the calm I was pretending to be. One could take me to the future—a future I never dared to dream I could have. A man who gave me a chance to smile and fix the mistakes I’d made. But, I shouldn’t get a second chance at a happily ever after.

Summary
My relationship with my husband has been splashed all over the tabloids ever since we first started dating. What should I have expected when I took New York City's most eligible bachelor off the market?
But no matter how long I'm with my husband, I can't shake the feeling that a stroke of luck brought me here. That I don't deserve the life around me. And I swear, if one more paparazzi takes a picture of me I'm going to freaking lose my mind.
I needed to prove to myself that I'm not worthless. So I wrote a novel under a pen name, but I've been rejected by so many literary agents I've lost count. And I'm so consumed with this idea that I need more out of life that I never had a chance to see the real story unfolding around me. The story that would threaten the life I took for granted.

Disappointed
I have read another series of books by this author a little far fetched but enjoyable. When I find an author I enjoy I usually read a lot of what they write. This book however the main character was so whiny all the time that it grated on my nerves and I had stopped reading the book and purchased another book. I came back to the book as I don't like leaving a book unfinished. The book refers to an incident in the past but never gives any detail and the ending well I will leave it up to you but I think the author was looking for an unexpected twist it was that unexpected it was ridiculous. I think I will give this author a break for a while.

The Light to My Darkness
<strong>The Light to my Darkness </strong>
OMG! And I thought I was done feeling this kind of stress, this kind of unending compulsion to keep reading and finish a book as quickly as possible just to find out what happens next! This author has a way of getting the most out of a scene, chapter, etc. that makes you, the reader, so I vested in these characters that you really just can’t stop reading - chores be damned!
I knew this was a continuation from the first 4 books and I thought that since James and Penny were finally together that they’d have their HEA. Ugh, I was right, but oh so wrong at the same time!! Please, please keep the kiddos in this book alive and safe and keep the thriving and please let Penny and James find their HEA! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At first it just tells about James and Penny’s life a few years later, but then she starts having health issues and it gets really good. Well worth a credit.

Shocked
I totally love this continuing story of James and Penny's love story. I love the narrator, but only wish the part of any male characters were a little more masculine. Ivy is the best at continuing their love story it was thrilling to see James and Penny's life continued ❤ to see were the future took them and all of the other characters, to see Mason and Bee get married 😀 The best is that there's more because Ivy can't leave us hanging it ended in a shocking cliffhanger. I'm so excited can't wait to read the next book.

5 shiny stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I can’t get enough of this series, Follows the Hunted Series,
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️This is part of a seven book series The first four books started with Temptation, Seduction, Eruption, Devotion in the Hunted Series and then JAMES and Penny’s story really gets wild with the light to my darkness, then a whirlwind of color,
ending with THiS IS LOVE! I’m on the last book now and I stumbled into this series out of order by accident and began with A whirlwind of color, then went searching for the next book because omg it was so good, only to discover I was five books behind and had to start from the beginning and I’m in so deep-but what an interesting way to get the story. It’s been such an amazing ride. The narration is perfect and this story makes you laugh, make you cry, gives you all the feels, thrills, and chills! The twist and turns along the way are always unexpected and leave you gasping. Plus it’s hot. Chemistry is sooo palpable but their journey is so much bigger and better than that. Don’t miss this beautiful love story. All 7 BOOKS of it. All but 2 are available on audible escape.
