First and Last ~ Rachael Duncan

Mia’s my best friend.

We’ve been inseparable since she moved next door when we were six years old. Then it all changed.

I don’t know when or why, but suddenly I want more. I want her. The problem was she didn’t.

At first.

But everything changes when you cross that line between friends and lovers. 

I thought convincing her to give us a chance would be my biggest hurdle. Little did I know that was only the beginning. 

Mia consumes all of my thoughts when we’re apart, and all of my senses when we’re together. There’s no going back to the way things were and I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she isn’t just my first, but also my last.

Will we be able to hold on, or will our relationship go up in flames?

A very emotionally charged love story!

Childhood friends to lovers!!!

A favorite theme of mine.. He wanted all of her first's

It's funny how life works, one day 

she was his Best Friend and the next she consumed his every thought.

"When did my best friend go from this nerdy girl who always wore those stupid dresses to this hottie with a killer body"

When you risk your friendship for more you shouldn't let your insecurities get 

the best of you.

That's something Blake learned the hard way.. But he'd love her enough for the both of them.

"I'll love you forever in this life and the next. You're my best friend, my whole life..."

This was a beautiful story told in a series of flash backs.

Blake leads us through all the good and bad times, all their ups and downs, Love and Pain and we see how the real world can be a cruel bitch but then again makes us stronger!

When you think all is lost the smoke clears and all you can do is bask in life's warm embrace and thank it for all your blessings!!

Hopeless Vows ~ Rachael Duncan

It was a modern take on an arranged marriage that was supposed to lead to my happily ever after. The rules were simple: 

1. Marry a complete stranger chosen for you by professionals.

2. Live together as man and wife for eight weeks while cameras record your every move.

3. Make a decision to stay together or get a divorce.

Call me crazy, but I had complete faith in the process, until I saw who was waiting for me at the end of the aisle.

Austin James has never met me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know him. With no other choice, I say my vows and pray I can make it through the next eight weeks. Then I’ll leave. What connects us is my best kept secret, and I’ll protect it at all costs even if that means walking away from the only person I’ve ever cared about.

This definitely had a nice twist to the arranged marriage theme..

How cool would it be for a panel of professionals to decide on your perfect match?

Paired together based on your likes, dislikes, wants, needs and background?

It would be the ultimate solution.. that is if both parties were completely honest!!

I absolutely fell in love with these 2 characters!!
We got to know both of them.. their insecurities.. their strengths and knew there was a huge secret from the beginning.. Just not what exactly and that made the read that much more intriguing..

There was angst, there were moments where  I wanted to skip to the end and find out what the issue was.. I laughed I got teary eyed and a few times I wanted to throttle them..
which makes for the perfect read!!

Rachael Duncan was a new to me author and I will be looking out for more of her books!!
