But spoilt brat Martha Nicholson just might be the worst thing he\u2019s ever encountered. The beautiful troublemaker claims to have reformed, but Sam knows better than to think with what\u2019s in his pants. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not so easy to make his heart fall into line.<\/p>\n<p>Martha\u2019s had her sights on the seriously built bodyguard for years. Quiet and conservative, he\u2019s not even remotely her type. So why the hell can\u2019t she get him out of her mind? There\u2019s more to her than the Louboutin wearing party-girl of previous years, however. Maybe it\u2019s time to let him in on that fact and deal with this thing between them.<\/p>\n<p>**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it\u2019s an introduction to an author\u2019s world. And for fans, it\u2019s a bonus book in the author\u2019s series. We hope you&#8217;ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stronger by Kylie Scott<\/p>\n<p>I received this book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>What a great jump back into a favorite series of mine.\u00a0 It was the perfect little reminder of how much fun the guys and their wives are PLUS we finally got to see David\/Ev\/Martha deal with their past and jump into their futures.<\/p>\n<p>In the Series we saw Sam and Martha dancing around each other but never giving into the tension.\u00a0 When Martha returns to help Lizzy and Ben with toddler Gibson, all the secrets and tension bubbles over.\u00a0 We see Martha struggle with wanting to be with her family but not being able to actually BE with her family.\u00a0 Her past and her issues all seem to make her feel uncomfortable. She struggles to feel good about her past and her mistakes in regard to David.\u00a0 We see her finally coming to deal with her sins and accepting herself for who she is now vs who she was then.\u00a0\u00a0 Gotta say I really liked Martha at the end of the story.\u00a0 She was never someone I liked given what she did to Ev and David BUT she has changed and grown.<\/p>\n<p>Sam\u2026dude\u2026.SAM!\u00a0 YES PLEASE!\u00a0 He is so the perfect person for Martha.\u00a0 He has seen her at her worst and still loved her.\u00a0 He does so much to make her a better person even when she is trying to deny what they have.\u00a0 Sam is a take charge man but will fake allwing Martha control when it assures him the woman of his 10 year dream.<\/p>\n<p>My Stage Dive heart is so happy with this book and I loved the quick jump back into the world to reconnect with everyone and give Martha an HEA even if I didn\u2019t think she originally deserved one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>AVAILABLE NOW<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2N6LVlN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AMAZON US<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2CLhrkp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AMAZON AUS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2QlaQ2V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AMAZON UK<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40485 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.inkslingerpr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/strong1-1024x770.jpg?resize=474%2C356\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"356\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe this,\u201d I bitched. \u201cMy Valentino boots are actually sticking to the floor. That\u2019s how gross this place is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lizzy just smiled. \u201cTold you to dress casual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The smile widened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJeans and a tee is casual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA tee? It\u2019s velvet, Martha.\u201d She held a bottle of beer up to her lips, taking a sip. \u201cI said we were going to a dive bar. You have only yourself to blame for the fashion faux pas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut velvet is in!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould you two quit talking? I\u2019m trying to listen,\u201d said my brother, Ben. The big hairy idiot was slouched back in his chair, bopping his head in time to the music.<\/p>\n<p>Lizzy shuffled closer all conspiratorial-like. \u201cI know why you\u2019re all dressed up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I said nothing. There was nothing to be said.<\/p>\n<p>Next her gaze went to the man standing at the end of the bar across from us. No, no, I would not turn my head. I would not fall prey to her bullshit. After all, I\u2019d managed to successfully avoid him for the forty-eight or so hours since my not so triumphant surprise return to the West Coast. Even with us both being in the same house. A very big sprawling house, but still.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it should probably be mentioned that he looked awfully good tonight in jeans and a white T-shirt with a leather jacket. Samuel Rhodes, otherwise known as Sam. Not a pretty man with his harsh features and bull-like neck, but something about him appealed to me. As always, his head was shaved and his body was built and my idiot fingers itched to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. So I guess at some point I must have turned my head. And shit, he caught me looking.<\/p>\n<p>The corner of his lips rose just a little, just enough to mess with me, before he returned to doing his job by casually surveying the packed room. My heart did not speed up due to anything done by him. Clearly, I hadn\u2019t totally caught my breath from when we\u2019d walked in half an hour ago or something. That was all. Interesting to note, he did none of the checking me out typical of a heterosexual male who might have been into me. In fact, he didn\u2019t really give me any signals at all. Ever.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40486 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.inkslingerpr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/strong2.jpg?resize=474%2C407\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"407\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-40487\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.inkslingerpr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/kyliescottimage-200x300.jpg?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/>Kylie is a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author.
