ARC received for honest review

What a cute, fun story Friday Night Alibi is!

Kelli runs an 'alibi' service for the trust fund babies in her rich, snobby, churchy town. You want to meet someone your parents won't approve of - she provides the alibi.

Kelli is fantastic - though her inner monologue sometimes made me roll my eyes. She is smart, sassy - but alone.

Then she meets Chase - he is male Kelli. The sparks that fly when they meet are instant... but boy do they fight it.

The interactions between Kelli and chase are hilarious! The 'spa' scene had me with tears in my eyes from laughter!!

I very much enjoyed the story, the writing was good and I look forward to reading more from Cassie Mae

**Waves hand in air** Hi, my name is Janeane and I am a Sinners groupie!

Have been waiting, waiting and waiting for this for months, and it did not disappoint.

Was great to get more of Jace's back story, and now I am on the horrid 6 month wait to get Eric's story - then I can FINALLY read Trey's story.

Fell in love with them all a little bit more.

Thanks Olivia for another fantastic read!

Being Me continues on where If I Were You finished - Sara is in Rebecca's storage unit looking for more journals, when the power goes out - you could practically feel Sara's heart racing from the fear as she ran out of there.

A lot of questions from If I Were You are answered in Being Me. We find out who Rebecca's Master is, learn more about the relationship between Chris and Mark, all while Chris and Sara's relationship moves forward.

Sara is still on the hunt to find Rebecca, and still feels that she is living Rebecca's life - the parallels between the two are scary at times. She is also trying to track down Ella, who went on her honeymoon and has not been heard from in weeks.

I love how Chris gets involved with the Rebecca and Ella searches - even though he is more doing it to keep Sara out of it than to help Sara.

Chris is pushing Sara for more in their relationship - all while shutting down and keeping her out when bad things happen. Yes, Sara wants to keep her independence from Chris, but his shutting her out is not what she wants.

We learn that Mark wants Sara and would do what it takes to have her. But I loved the softer side we learn of Mark when Sara and Chris' relationship hits a bump. I loved the way he looked out for her - well, except for the "incident" with Ryan.

The support characters all had their part to play - Ava, Ricco, Ryan. Some good, some not so good, but all integral to the story.

The question of "what happened to Rebecca" is finally answered - wow, that was not what I expected! Mark opens up t Sara about his relationship with Rebecca, the softer side of him shining through.

There is drama, there is tragedy, there is love.

I completely adored this book - though the first few chapters did drag on a little bit.

If you like a steamy read with a bit of mystery, I suggest this series. But read them in order with Rebecca's Lost Journals in between

Follows up directly after Being Me.

After we find out about Rebecca, Mark finds out his mother is sick.

On visiting her in hospital in New York, he meets Chrystal - smart, sassy, sexy.

Can she be the one to help him forget Rebecca?

I loved the softer side to Mark that we see in this novella, the he is not just the hard-ass Master.

Make sure you read the Inside Out/Rebecca's Lost Journa's in order where they intersect.

Now on to Revealing Us!

We have all had a neighbour that we have lusted over - come on, admit it!!

Newly graduated teacher Cassandra learns the hard way that life will take unexpected twists and turns when her 5 year relationship breaks down.

After a year being single, she is ready to take on the world as a kindergarten teacher at the school in her home town.

What she wasn't expecting was her new neighbour to move into town and turn her world upside down.


Logan moves back to his hometown with his 4 year old son Oliver.

Through her relationship with Oliver, a friendship builds between him and Cassandra.


Cassandra wants him, but his reputation around town soon makes her realise that she will never let it happen. He is a man whore who will sleep with any woman with a pulse! But she still has her fantasies.

Logan frustrated me with his ways, made me laugh, made me cry - but he also made me swoon with his interactions with Oliver, shows how much he loves him and how he would do anything to help those he cares for.


The middle of the books was a bit slow, there was a long stretch there where Cassie and Logan just kept circling each other and nothing happened with them. The sexual attraction between the two crackled, you could seriously cut it with a knife..... but nothing!


But the small things, that intertwine their relationship, their mutual friends, the exes, they make for a great read.

This book is a slow burn of a romance. No wham bam thank you ma'am then building the relationship. Logan and Cassie are normal, dealing with all the trappings of a relationship, good and bad.

Inevitable is a well written (thought "sweetheart" may be a bit overused - this could just be to me though) interesting, engaging book.

But Holy Cliffhanger, Batman! It is a doozie!

Can't wait for book 2 to find out what happens!

4.5 stars **this book contains a sexual assault scene - you have been warned**
