CATCHING CASSIDY

Harborside Nights #1

Melissa Foster

Released April 2015

World Literary Press

Wyatt Armstrong never imagined that instead of celebrating his college graduation, he and his twin sister would be dealing with the death of their parents. Then again, Wyatt had never been one to think past tomorrow. He heads to their summer home in Harborside, Massachusetts, with his best friend Cassidy Lowell in tow, to deal with his parents’ death and to try to figure out his next step.

Six foot two, infuriatingly handsome, and flirtatious, Wyatt Armstrong has always been there for Cassidy, helping her pass her classes and fend off unwanted advances, while driving her insane with his one-night stands—but that’s what best friends are for, isn’t it? Having each other’s backs. There was never any doubt that she would accompany him to his family’s summer home—but she never expected to begin seeing Wyatt as more than a friend. Or has she been ignoring her feelings all along?

It’s impossible to ignore the sizzling heat between them as Wyatt and Cassidy get even closer, but Cassidy knows Wyatt’s past, and she has a real job to begin in the fall. Wyatt may be a sure thing for the summer, but Cassidy needs more. For the first time in his life, Wyatt is forced to look toward the future if he doesn’t want to lose the one woman who’s shared his past and owns his heart.

Cat's Review

From page one, Ms. Foster caught me up in the emotions and characters of "Catching Cassidy".  Wyatt, his twin Delilah and Cassidy have been friends forever but after graduating college, they all go through hell and need each other more than ever.  For a romance to get five stars from me, I need to feel - I need to experience joy and laughter or cry at the heartbreak or just have a good feel throughout.  I can honestly say that Ms. Foster has done an amazing job of catching all of these emotions for me in "Catching Cassidy".  I laughed, cried, got angry and cheered them on.  I enjoyed watching Wyatt and Cassidy grow and their relationship develop.  You can't help but like these characters - they know each other so well that they are so at ease with each other.   I adored each character in this story and look forward to Delilah's story in the future.    I'm so excited for this series by Ms. Foster.  It's off to a great start and the next one can't come quick enough!  (received copy for honest review)

DISCOVERING DELILAH

Harborside Nights #2

Melissa Foster

Released July 2015

World Literary Press

LGBT New Adult

DISCOVERING DELILAH is an New Adult Lesbian Romance (#LGBT) 

After the death of her parents on the day of her college graduation, Delilah Armstrong thought she could finally follow her heart and come out to her closest friends, but the guilt of going against her parents’ beliefs haunts her. The feelings she has for her best friend, Ashley, are stronger than anything she’s felt before, but Delilah has never even kissed a girl, and fear stops her at every turn. 

Ashley Carver promised herself that she would never again date another girl who wasn’t out, but that was before she met intoxicatingly sweet and sexy Delilah. 

When another girl offers to teach Delilah the ropes, it changes Delilah’s whole world and gives her the courage to go after the only girl she really wants. But coming out isn’t as easy as Delilah imagined, and moving past her parents’ death and the feelings of guilt she is left with is even harder. The intense passion between Ashley and Delilah is too strong to deny, but coming together means risking everything. 

Discovering Delilah is an edgy, evocative, romantic story of friendship, family, and the courage to love.

CAT'S REVIEWS

"Discovering Delilah" by Melissa Foster.  Ms. Foster has written a story that gripped my heart and held on tight.  Delilah is struggling in many areas of her life - she recently lost her parents and is coming to terms with her sexuality.  Her emotions, to say the least, are a bit all over - she feels sadness and anger towards her parents and is struggling with her attraction to Ashley. Ashley has her own hangups as well, having been hurt in the past.  However, she is so patient with Delilah - a sign of her true feelings.   This was my first foray into a ff story and I feel that Ms. Foster wrote a story that is deep and heartwarming too.  Honestly, for me, the ff aspect was forgotten at times as this tells the story about a relationship and the growing feelings of love between two individuals and the struggles that they encounter while venturing through their new found relationship.   Having enjoyed book one of this series, "Catching Cassidy", I was extremely happy and thrilled that book two has captured my heart as well.  (received copy for honest review)

STACKED UP

Worth the Fight #6

Sidney Halston

Releasing May 31st, 2016

Loveswept

Opposites attract in this seductive novel from the author of Against the Cage (“Funny, steamy, scorching.”—Toni Aleo), with a chiseled MMA fighter falling for a single mom who could use a real man in her corner.

Working two jobs to support her infant daughter is harder than anything Penny Richards has ever done, but it sure beats living under the rules of her stepfather, a television preacher who demands a picture-perfect family. And if Penny hadn’t struck out on her own, she never would have met Travis Calhoun. The intensely physical heavyweight brawler has a way of drawing out her wild side. But Travis lives fast, with no responsibilities—and that just isn’t for Penny.

Most of the women in Travis’s circle wear tight clothes, high heels, and tons of makeup—not pearls or plaid headbands. But once he works past Penny’s inhibitions, Travis discovers a kindred spirit who longs to trust someone with her body, and her secrets. Still, Travis can’t help but wonder if this rich girl is just slumming it before she returns to her privileged life. Now it’s up to Penny to prove that she wants her hard-edged, hard-loving fighter just the way he is.

EXCERPT

“Travis, I’d like you to meet Sarabelle.”

“Belle.” The little girl said.

“Belle, excuse me.” Penny laughed. “Travis, this is Belle. Belle this is my friend Travis.”

The little girl hid in her mother’s neck. “She’s very shy.”

“”S’okay, I’m not.” He moved closer to Belle. “Hey kid, I’m Travis. Who’s this?” He asked, pointing to the tattered bear she held.

“Bubba.” She mumbled into her mother’s neck.

“Bubba the bear. I like that.” Belle did that same move her mother did, shook her head slightly to take her bangs out of her eyes, but in this case it was one fat blonde curl. Then she looked up, and big blue eyes stared back at him. Blue eyes that looked almost identical to his and Jamie Lynn’s. Her soft milky skin and chubby cheeks, and shy smile took him aback. “Twavis.” She whispered, then hid her face again.

His feelings were scattered all over the place as he walked back his car. What the hell was he getting himself into?

CAT'S REVIEW

"Stacked Up" by Sidney Halston.  Ms. Halston has done it again!  She had me swooning and drooling over our hero and my heart hurting and loving our heroine.  Travis is a typical gruff Hero that is closed off to emotions of love.  He's an MMA fighter so he's big and strong and sexy as can be.  Penny, a struggling single mom, is strong yet so very vulnerable.  She has overcome some diversity in her life and while her life isn't easy, she's a great mama and will do anything for her daughter. Together they are smoking hot!  But even more than the physical connection is the emotional one.  They seem to just get each other.   I enjoyed Ms. Halston's take on their relationship - it took time which I tend to enjoy more than the wham- bam-insta-love stories.  Their level of communication was unheard of in most romances and I found that to be the best part of the story.  Of course, the addition of a child always warms my heart and Belle is adorable. There is even a smidgeon of danger and suspense which only adds to gripping tale. Ms. Halston had be from the start and it was a great pleasure to read this tale.   While this can be read as a standalone, having read the previous books, I enjoyed catching up a bit with the characters from previous books, however, it wasn't overdone where they become the story.   If you're looking for a hot romance that is filled with heartwarming emotions, don't miss "Stacked Up".  (received copy for honest review)

Don't miss ANY of the Worth the Fight titles

USA Today bestselling author, Sidney Halston lives her life with one simple rule: "Just Do It"--Nike. And that's exactly what she did.

After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first time at thirty years old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written anything other than very exciting legal briefs, she found an outlet for her imaginative, romantic side and wrote Seeing Red. That first pen stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South Florida with her husband and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading follows a close second. When she's not writing, you can find her reading and reading and reading. She's a reader first and a writer second. When she's not writing or reading, her life is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance family life with work and writing (and reading). But she wouldn't have it any other way.
