My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Being a big fan of this author's work, I was so looking forward to reading this book. The blurb had me intrigued, and the chance to meet another JEM alpha male had me thinking that I would instantly fall in love with his story but sadly that was not the case. On the plus side the book has the making of a great story, it's plotline has a lovely romance between it's main two characters of Ryan and Hannah who I adored, but it just didn't deliver on it's promise of any real drama. It was quite a slow moving story that just didn't give me the suspenseful build up that it needed to keep it interesting. Nothing really eventful happens in the story until I got to about 90%, and then it felt it was all rushed to tie up the ending. I really came to dislike Ryan's ex Darcy who I thought was too big a part of the story and she wasn't really needed so much as all she did was irritate me, the absolute star of the book was Alex, she was totally adorable and really made me want to keep reading about her and what she got up to. It was great to catch up with Jake, Cami and Lucinda too. For me this was just an ok read and not up to the usual standard we have come to expect from JEM.

Title: Just A Kiss
Author: Carrie Elks
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: Nov 1, 2019
Cover Designed by: Najla Qamber

Beautiful, perfect and everything he needs. Caitie Russell's big brother is getting married. As the proud owner of Holiday Magic, Caitie is the obvious choice to organise the perfect Christmas wedding. Piece of cake, right? If it weren't for one gorgeous man-shaped problem... Her brother's best friend, Brecken Miller.   He was her first crush. Her first kiss. Her first broken heart…   Construction worker Brecken Miller is a modern-day Scrooge. The confirmed bachelor would rather pull his nails out than celebrate Christmas, until he sees Caitie again. Like a moth to a flame he’s drawn to her. But there’s a problem with fire. It always leaves a scar.
 
**Sweet Little Lies is the fourth book in the Angel Sands series, set in a small beach town on the California coast. If you like a heartwarming holiday romance that’s low on angst and big on feels, this is the story for you!**
 

Excerpt

When the door closed behind her for a second time, Caitie bit down a smile and slowly turned to look at Breck. He was leaning on the wall, arms folded across his chest, the skin at the corner of his eyes crinkling up as he smiled at her. “Hello,” he said, his smile widening. “Hi.” She felt breathless as the air around them snapped and crackled. The hairs on her neck stood up. Breck slowly pushed off the wall and walked over to the sofa where she was standing, his strides long and confident. Caitie didn’t move. She wasn’t even sure if she could. Her muscles were tense with anticipation, her skin tingling with need. There was a half-smile on his lips as he reached out for her chin, using the pads of his fingers to tip her face up. “Cait…” His voice caressed her ears. She loved the way her name sounded on his lips. “Did you know you’re the only one who calls me that?” she asked breathlessly. “Do you mind?” She shook her head slowly, his fingers still holding her. “No. I like it.” Too much. He took another step forward, his eyes firmly on hers. “I like it, too,” he said. “The same way I like you.” Her chest tightened. Standing so close to him felt overwhelming. She could smell the woody scent of his cologne, feel his firm touch as his fingers caressed her jaw. Everywhere she looked, all she saw was him. “Where were we last week?” he asked her. The corner of her lip quirked up. “Remind me?” He chuckled and lowered his head until his lips were a breath away from hers. She could see the thickness of his eyelashes, the strong line of his nose, the warmth of his skin where it was kissed by the California sun. “I think it was a little like this,” he murmured, brushing his lips against hers.  

Advance Praise For Just A Kiss

Just A Kiss (Angel Sands #4)Just A Kiss by Carrie Elks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just A Kiss was such a was such a amazing read, it's the kind of Christmasy romance story that gives you all the warm and fuzzies inside.
It all started with a teenage crush for Caitie Russell, with the object of her affection being her big brothers best friend Brecken Miller, to a meeting years later when she is asked to help plan her brother Lucas's Christmas wedding. This story is the fourth book set in the seaside town of Angel Sands, California, and it may have a little more sunshine than most Christmas stories but it never distracts you from the charm and warmth of the Christmas theme that flows full on throughout the story.
I really got drawn in by the plot of this book because it not only features a love rival, it focuses on a past Christmas that one remembers so fondly that it seals their love of all things Christmas, while another finds it brings only sadness and hurt. It's an emotional rollercoaster ride for both Breck and Caitie and it really pulls at your heartstrings.
I love the stories by this author as her writing is always so good and you know that your in for a great read everytime you pick up one of her stories and this book didn't disappoint in anyway. If you love a Christmas story with a twist, and without any snow then you will fall in love with this story as much as I did.

Who says you can't fall in love at seven years old? 

I know I did.

The love I felt for my babysitter, Camryn Davison at such a young age transformed over time.

By the time I was a teen that love turned into fantasies I knew would never come true.

By the time I saw her again at twenty-one I was determined to make those fantasies a reality.

If only she'd see me as the man I am now and not the little boy she used to soothe when I had nightmares as a child.

She's the only one that has an issue with our seven-year age difference, but I'm determined to prove to her that a younger man is exactly what she needs.

Ghost Writer by A.C. Williams


Genre: Romantic Suspense / Mystery


Wren Fallon has a love for the written word, a passion for prose, and a skill for weaving webs that rival the prowess of the most manipulative of Black Widow spiders. While her spoken tongue is awkward, words flow from her pen like water rushing from a fresh spring. She is a ghost writer. A voice for the voiceless. A nameless narrator telling tales for another. She didn't write for just anyone, though. Wren Fallon had the tremendous feat of penning new material for the reigning queen of the twisted, herself, Welsh-born Morven Ainsley.

The press assigned Morven many names.
The Maven of Mystery
The Duchess of Suspense
Queen of the Cliffhanger

At the ripe old age of 92, Morven Ainsley had published one hundred and nineteen full-length novels. Her first novel, titled The Starling, was published in the summer of 1948. Her most recent work, a fierce best-selling novel titled The Crystal Ocean was released just six months ago, and is enjoying its twenty-seventh consecutive week atop internationally recognized best seller lists.

Morven Ainsley is an enigma. A mystery in and of herself. Despite the awards, the critical acclaim, and the leagues of adoring fans, Morven Ainsley's greatest mystery cannot be found in the shelves of a bookstore or in the archives at the Portland Library.

Morven's most tremendous mystery to date is her own disappearance. The author vanished from public view in 1983. No one, not even the ever-prying journalists at the South Main Gazette, have gotten a glimpse of Portland's famed Mystery Maven. Despite this, Lorcan Press still releases five Ainsley novels per year. Her text never tired. Her writing never showed signs of her advancing age. As far as documentation went, Morven Ainsley ceased to exist in the early '80s. Only two people know how to reach the esteemed author. Not in person, of course. Never in person. Not even by telephone. Written correspondence was her chosen method of communication. Only Wren Fallon, Morven's ghost writer, and Marcus Withering, her estate manager, were privy enough to receive her messages. The author's floral scrawl wound gracefully over cream, perfumed stationary pages. These letters were the only proof that Morven was actually alive. But then, one day, the letters stopped, removing the last shred of evidence that the Maven of Mystery was still among the living.

This is the story of two women. One, a struggling writer, the other, no more than a ghost. Like the willowy bend of  phrase tossing to and fro, the sharp gust of wind whooshing through the plain, the subtle flicker of a candle's ember in a damp and dreary room, the hammer of a heartbeat in a body presumed to be dead. This tale has more than it's fair share of surprise. Morven would have it no other way. 

When the weaving of a web comes undone. When all clues slip loose and fall into oblivion. When the silent can send the loudest message of all. Only one person can unravel the truth.

Enter: The Ghost Writer.
