Promise Me Forever.

As a divorced single father, I live by three rules:

1. Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she’s number one in my life. No. Matter. What.

2. Keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum.

3. Turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life.

When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny.

But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

Hold Me Forever

The last thing I need to do is fall for hockey’s sexiest bad boy.

Helping celebrities rehabilitate their image is my job, and I’m a pro. I don’t make mistakes. And I definitely don’t flirt with clients. Ever. There is just one little problem with my newest client.

Tyler Maxwell is every woman’s dream come true. He’s hot, protective, and so damn tempting—especially when he's coaching kids’ hockey.

Every time he flexes those muscled arms, I can’t help but stare at them. And watching a semi-naked Tyler swim in a pool is no hardship whatsoever.

But when he catches me in the act and shamelessly flirts with me, I realize I’m in over my head.

Show Me Forever

I moved to Chicago six months ago, determined to finally open my own bakery. My landlady was this sweet woman who treated me like her granddaughter. Then she sold the house. Now the devil himself is my landlord and neighbor since I live in the guesthouse on his property. Declan Maxwell is moody, unreasonable, and takes himself far too seriously. Unfortunately for me, he’s also damn sexy.

When he shows up on my doorstep in the middle of the night ordering me to turn down the music, I give him hell. We go toe to toe like this almost every night. The man is impossible. But here’s the thing. I need a place to stay while I save for my business and this place is a steal.

Then one day I come home injured from work and he surprises me by taking care of me.

And kissing me.

And just like that, all my best intentions go up in smoke.

Did anyone else notice

The characters for each story behaved the same. They even used the same turn of phrases. Their personalities did not change from one character to the other enough. And the plot line about the nieces fever and the flu?! Weird. Fevers are a sign that the body is burning out the infection. No big deal. It’s a normal part of the healing process so I found that part ridiculous. Each book followed the same pattern. It was very predictable.

great series so far...

promise me forever:

Tate & Lexi: triggers- child abandonment, lost child. I really enjoyed this book. Tate is a single father and owner of the family winery. Lexi is a teacher in need of a summer job, so she takes a job as a nanny to Tate's daughter. almost immediately the chemistry between all the characters is evident. the book is sweet, funny, heartfelt and steamy. I can't wait to read about the next Maxwell sibling.

hold me forever:

Tyler & Kendra: Tyler is now suspended from playing hockey after a fight with his sister's ex and has to do community service. he meets Kendra and is immediately taken by her beauty but is told that she's off limits because she's the program coordinator. this does not stop Tyler from going after what he wants. this book is sweet, funny and sexy. I really loved it.

show me forever:

Declan & Liz: Declan is one of the oldest of the Maxwell siblings, he's also a successful attorney who just bought property that already had a renter in the guest house before he bought it so he agreed to let her stay. that was until she was keeping her up all night with her loud music. Liz is hard-working woman with two and a half jobs and dreams of owning her own bakery. Declan and Liz have a definite attraction but Liz's schedule is just too crazy to date. but nothing will keep a Maxwell from what he wants and Declan wants her. this book is sweet, romantic and so hot, you don't know if it's because of the temperature or the spice. such a good book.
