Stella

Getting pregnant in college wasn’t part of the plan, but I’ll never regret giving birth to the best part of me. Even if my parents did disown me for it.

A fresh start in a small town seems like a good idea, until a handsome stranger shows me a little kindness and has me feeling things, I thought I’d never feel again… things I have no business feeling about a man I just met.

Every time I turn around, Maverick is there. One thing inevitably leads to another and my newfound friend comes with benefits. I'm doing my best to hold it all together, but the truth is, when I see him with my daughter, I know I've already fallen too far.

Maverick

From the moment Stella rolled into town, she's had my attention. Since that moment, I've been determined to befriend the sexy single mom who's down on her luck.

Stella has fallen on hard times, but something tells me she'll never take a handout. That doesn't mean I'm not going to try to help, so of course I put in a good word to get her a job. She’s smart enough to know I had a hand in it, but that’s what friends are for, right?

With each day that passes, Stella becomes more than just a friend. She's my best friend—who I apparently can't keep my hands off. She's worried we're complicating things, but screw that. Blurred lines or not, I ask her to stay anyway.

I have been looking forward to Maverick’s story for some time now and oh did Ryan do him justice. I loved that this was a single mom romance too! I love the friends to lovers aspect as these two build up to a relationship that made my heart so happy. Stella and Mav just had this connection that was undeniable and I lived for it. I felt that connection with Stella as well. The emotions and everything running through her head is something I 100% could relate to as I was there once too. Loved this addition to the Kincaid series!

Love Hard by Monica James

 

Title: Love Hard

A Memoir

Author: Monica James

Genre: Creative Non-Fiction

Release Date: May 15, 2024

BLURB

If love is an addiction, your first love is the first hit.

How many of you remember your first love?

Because falling in love for the first time…I remember that. And that’s the thing about your first love—we all have a love story.

But this isn’t a love story.

This is a life story.

The good.

The bad.

The heartache.

It’s all here.

Love is truly a battlefield…

Love is scary, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. When you love someone wholeheartedly, you leave yourself open to being destroyed…and that’s what I did, what I still do even though I know better.

But it doesn’t make a difference.

The best kind of love doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

This one-in-a-million story is mine, and if you take anything away from this book, it would be to never be afraid to love.

So, let me introduce myself. You may call me Z.

Buckle up, besties, because this will be a bumpy ride.

Love hits you when you least expect it.

Are you ready for the fall?

SMASHWORDS

Not gonna lie. I was nervous going into this book. From what the concept behind the story, I was scared as to how this would all play out but I live for Monica James’ words. What we get is so raw, intense and emotional from start to finish. Hard Love is exactly that and takes on you on such a journey. You can feel every emotion that the author felt bleed into the pages. This is not your normal book from James. Because she put herself into every single word and sentence and so much more. While this is not James’ usual book, I implore you to pick it up. It is unique, intense and just hits you so freaking hard with the feels.
