“One thousand four hundred and seventy-four days, Hayden. That’s how long I’ve waited for you.”

We were made of moments.

A handful of nights.
Two weeks of passion.
Four years of denial.

-Jesse-
She was never mine to keep, still I took every second that girl was willing to give me.
I always knew she’d go back to him.
But I never expected she’d take a piece of me with her.

-Hayden-
He changed my life forever, and it happened long before our two weeks together.
I didn’t mean to fall for him.
But how could I not when he gave me the most precious gift of all?

WE’RE MADE OF MOMENTS (A COLE CREEK NOVEL) is the first book in a brand new, small town romance series by Molly McLain. This series is full of Molly’s guaranteed feel-good vibes, amped up emotion, and page-sizzling heat. If you liked the River Bend and Velocity series, you will LOVE Cole Creek!

Amazon

Molly writes spicy small-town romance with lots of heart. Her heroes are typically blue collar with beefy forearms, and her heroines are stubborn backtalkers. Kinda like Molly and her husband in real life. She lives in Wisconsin, so it’s no surprise that she loves all things cheese, especially in cake form. She’s a cat and dog mom with a few human kids, too, and she has a day job. Writing happily-ever-afters is definitely her escape from reality.

She’s the girl with a plan. He’s the reason she’s rewriting it.

The plan was simple: buy the building, open my artist co-op, and prove I’m not just the family screw-up with a passport full of stamps and a highlight reel of almosts and maybes.

I wasn’t planning on Oliver Martin.

The bartender next door is infuriatingly laid-back, unfairly attractive, and somehow always in my space. He offers help I don’t want, teases like we’ve known each other forever, and makes my heart race when I should be focusing on work.

He’s also hiding something. So yeah… not great.

Just when I’ve made up my mind to stay far away from him, Oliver goes and does something infuriating. He shows me a side of himself that’s real, vulnerable, and completely unexpected.

Now I’m stuck trying to figure out how to protect the dream I’ve poured everything into… while falling for the one person who could take it all away.

Review by Twinsie Angie

Dolly by Measha Stone, narration by Michele Blackstone

I purchased the audio and paperback of this book.

I bought this paperback a year ago??  Like right when it came out.  I like dark books but I gotta work my way up to reading them.  I know I am weird.  ANYWAY!  I finally decided this was the time.    I saw the audio was available and since it was 5 hours that would only take me a day to read.

I want to start out by saying the narration was not my favorite.  I would have loved to have a female voice it AKA Dolly vs having a man AKA Ken Doll voice the story.  I also didn’t get drawn into the story with Michele voicing the characters and the story either.  I pushed through because I wanted the story. The story was where it was at.

Ok yall.  This book is a little slower to start but I wanna say PAY ATTENTION to the beginning 10-11 chapters because once we hit chapter 12-13, ITS GO TIME!!! I was there for it.  Dolly and Ken Doll are trapped and being abused by 2 horrible humans but why???  WELL, we soon discover why when they get free and go on their bloody revenge tour.  I was there for that as well.  The stuff we learn in each chapter had me saying YOOOOOO WHAT.  And also, a big GASP with “I did Not see that coming!!”  I mean I knew stuff would be flying outta closets but it got me good with the twists.

The story of Dolly/Abigail and Ken Doll/Brian was a good one.  The relationship between the 2 characters was sweet and loving one minute while total Bonnie and Clyde murders the next!!

Measha Stone is a USA Today bestselling romance author with a deep love for romantic stories, specifically those involving the darker side of romance, all the possessive dominant heroes, and their feisty heroines. If you love a well deserved happily ever after, you will enjoy her books.

Ten years ago, at their senior year party- a night that was supposed to be one of the best of their lives- something horrible happened. Five friends promised to keep a secret no matter what, and to cut ties immediately- never to talk again. But now, one of them has suddenly organized a reunion- and they’re all having second thoughts. Maybe keeping their secret was a bad idea, because now they’re all paying for it in one way or another.

Their little reunion party is awkward at best, and deadly at worst. Because someone thinks they should be paying the ultimate price, and now none of them may get out alive. Are you ready to play a game?
