"When do you want to see me again?"
"You can't ask me that."
"Why not?"
"Because if I had the choice, I'd never take my eyes off of you."

I am reviewing the contribution by Kiersten Modglin, titled "The Plan".

We all remember young love, right? The boy (or girl) that you swore you were destined to be with forever. The one you made secret promises to, stole kisses with, and trusted with all your heart. Well, for Luke and Darby were like that....until they weren't. Promises were broken. Hearts were shattered. Lies were told. And choices were made.

Now, years later, and a divorce later, Darby is back in her hometown trying for a new start. Running in to Luke after all these years wasn't what she planned, but maybe, deep down, what she hoped. With three kids in tow and recently widowed, he's not the boy she remembered. But, her heart remembers - remembers the love, the plans they made, the lies and the heartbreak. Can she risk her heart again on the hopes that he's changed? Just when she thinks she can let her walls down, a secret, or is it a lie, might ruin her all over again.

This was a great story!! In true Modglin fashion, there's a twist you won't expect, and a happy ever after worth waiting for!… (mere)

In order to be strong, a person has to face circumstances that build character. In other words, find something worth fighting for. Bree is a woman rebuilding her world, after numerous earth shattering events have left her twisting in the wind. Drake shrouds himself with a bit more mystery. His secrets keep him company, while his heart motivates him to make a better life for himself. Ms. Cole serves up some delicious temptation with conniving exes, daily stresses and some sexual healing with Sweeter Pleasures. A hypnotizing jaunt of second chances and healing that gives optimism a fighting chance despite some pessimistic turn of events.… (mere)
