The list of things I hate is short. Not even my soon-to-be ex-husband is on that list. Nope. I save only the worst of the worst, the crème de la crème, the absolute I cannot even for this list . . .

1. Black coffee
2. Rude people
3. Nathaniel Bradley

Which is why when my father informs me that he’s making Nathaniel Bradley his new business partner, and in turn, my boss, I flip out.

1. He’s an annoying know-it-all.
2. He calls me a spoiled princess every chance he gets.
3. He disapproves of everything I do.

I go into this knowing I’ll hate every second in his presence. Except the longer he’s around, the more I find myself staring at his lips and remembering the one time they were on mine. I randomly find myself looking at his hands and wondering how they’d feel on my skin.
I try to snap out of it, but I guess I’m not as smart as I thought I was. No matter how many times I remind myself of the times I’ve practically thrown myself at him and he’s pushed me away, I keep falling little by little.

I’d always heard that it was a bad idea to mix business with pleasure and if that’s the case, this thing with Nathaniel has demise written all over it.

The Consequence of Falling in Love is LIVE and we have a giveaway! Enter to win a signed paperback of my first #TopFaveBook this year!

Yay! My first FIVE STAR book this year and first TOP FAVE of 2019!

I haven’t read a Claire Contreras book in some time and when this one popped up on my kindle, I was both surprised and delighted to dive right in. It came in at the perfect time that I was looking for something sweet and romantic and utterly blissful, and that’s how I felt the entire time I was reading it. I just love the enemies to lovers troupe *le sigh*

Presley and Nathaniel knew each other when they were young, Presley being the daughter of brewery owner Winston. Winston took Nathaniel under his wing as Nathaniel had a very different upbringing than Presley. Nathaniel worked hard and tirelessly to build something for himself, to make himself better, to be worth something, never giving in to the attraction that he felt for Presley.

And life goes on… and there is a marriage and you think it’s a happily every after, only it isn’t.

And this is where the second chance romance comes in… because Presley and Nathaniel are in each other’s path again for various business reasons, and the attraction that was always there is now at the forefront and WOW… I loved the romance, I loved the words and actions, I loved watching these characters work hard for what they wanted and that despite the sadness, despite the heartache that they fought for what they wanted because you never know what will happen tomorrow. Life is short, there is no guarantee, but you have to live life to the fullest and enjoy the moments. Don’t be angry, don’t waste time on the unimportant. Live for what you love.

This book community lost someone very special around Christmastime, and Kandace would have loved this book. Because every day is a gift and the consequence of falling in love and doing what you love, and being with who you love—is nothing short of being the most precious thing you will ever have in your life. I simply loved this book… the emotions, the romance, the sweetness. It was just right, just perfect, and I have found a new favorite from this author who I admire and adore. <3

“What do you want?” I crossed my arms. “Did you come here to tell me that you’ve already moved on? Because that’s fine. I’m totally over you anyway.”

He grinned. “I wasn’t aware you were ever into me. You never told me.”

“Well, I was. Fleeting moment. Totally short lived.”

“Tell me more about this fleeting moment.” He stepped inside, closing the door behind him with the side of his boot. “When did you realize things weren’t working the way you wanted them to?”

**Giveaway now over – congrats to Sonia!**
