Synopsis
“There is nothing worse than pretending that you don’t care about something, when that is all you can think about.”
Harper Graham wears a mask, and not the pamper kind. She conceals her pain with shoes, shots, and lots of sex. But while her life appears fantastic to most, Harper herself knows that the most important thing in life is not financial stability, but emotional. Having been let down by her absent father for most of her life, Harper chooses to keep the men in her life at arms length. Well, that was until Kyler Morgan.
Kyler Morgan has been successful at nearly everything in his life … nearly. Traveling the country with the band Down Glory Road, Kyler has had time to reflect upon his life and in particular his relationship with feisty, drop-dead gorgeous realtor, Harper. Realizing that she is the woman of his dreams, Kyler resolves to win back Harper, and prove to her that she is, and always has been, enough.
But the path to true love rarely runs smoothly, and when their journey takes a number of twists and turns, will Harper and Kyler manage to hold tight, or fall by the wayside?

EXCERPT:
“Mmm…you’re coming in.” It was a statement, not a question.
He smiled against my lips. “So bossy. What if I say no?”
“Not a chance in hell, Brandt. You smell good, look good, and I need to get laid.” I grabbed him by the tie and dragged him into my house, kicking the door shut with my heel.
Walking me backwards, he pushed my back against the wall of my entryway. I looked up at him, and marveled at his gorgeous face—he looked like he wanted to devour me. Michael was six foot one, with strong cheekbones and bright blue eyes. His hair was a little grown out, but still shorter than Kyler’s, and a lighter brown. He was wearing a gray, button-down dress shirt, and black slacks. He always dressed nicely because of his job. He helped companies get off the ground and a good presence was necessary. I loved a man in a suit—the total opposite of how Ky dressed everyday, and what he performed in on stage. God, I needed to shake the thoughts of Ky from my head.
Running one of his hands down my hip, he reached to grip my thigh to wrap around him. I moaned as he ground his pelvis into me. I could feel his erection pushing just above where I needed him to be. His other hand held the back of my neck, tilting my head so he could deepen the kiss. As dominant as I could be during my everyday life, I loved a man who took charge in the bedroom—or against a wall as it happened to be right then.
My hands wove into his hair and gripped the short spikes as I moaned into his mouth. He took that as his cue to lift my body up, forcing my other leg up to around his hips. My breath came in short pants as I started to unbutton his shirt, running my hands up and down his chest. His mouth nipped and sucked a trail from my mouth to my chin, and over to my earlobe.
I scratched my nails down his front and he hissed. “Fuck, Harper,” he growled, sliding my dress up so he could hold my bare ass. Who needed underwear anyway?
REVIEW

I love love love Harper and Kyler!!
Both Kyler and Harper are quick witted and smart ass. They are crude and doesn't care who hears it. Definitely the perfect couple.
Unfortunately, as we saw in Ever Enough, Harper seems to always be fighting with Kyler. It isn't his fault, and as Em believes it has something to do with her father. To Harper it is easy to use the guys for sex than allow them to potentially walk away from you.
"Men were not permanent fixtures in my life. I used them just as much as they used me. As far as I was concerned, it was a mutual agreement. Sex was a mechanical thing for me."
Lucky for us, Ky doesn't want to give up. He believes they definitely have something worth fighting for. How long will he be willing to fight Harper? With two very strong willed people who will be able to wear the other down?
"That we work, Harper. This between us... It's fucking magic, and you can't hide from it."
Always Enough is written in both Harper and Kyler's point of views. These two characters will forever keep you wanting more. They are highly entertaining. Even though given the situation, you would probably love to slap Harper around a bit. I love this book, heck this series!!! Of course I highly recommend this book and absolutely adore all of the series' characters!

Synopsis
What happens when the man you thought was the one, ends up being the one that got away?
When Finley breaks her heart on graduation night, eighteen year old Emilyn is left alone to pick up the pieces of her life. After muddling through the next ten years-including immersing herself in a lifeless marriage-she is brought to her knees when she encounters Finley at her high school reunion. Long ago buried emotions and feelings bubble to the surface and when Finley kisses her, Emilyn flees the scene. Arriving home to find her husband in the arms of another woman, Emilyn is forced to return to her hometown and start again. But is it possible to start afresh when the past just won’t seem to let you go?
Finley has spent the ten years since high school focused on his career. As a songwriter, he has never had a problem getting women. But when he realizes that the woman he let go a decade ago could be his happy ever after, he decides to do whatever it takes to get her back. But are some hurdles too great to overcome?

REVIEW
Emilyn has it all. The sucessful husband, huge house, gorgeous car, but she still isn't happy. Well not when her lawyer husband is cold towards her, treats her more like a business transaction, and is always late coming home.
When Emilyn goes back home for her high school reunion, her life take a turn. She wasn't expecting to see her high school sweetheart. As far as she knew he wasn't supposed to be there. One look into his eyes and all of the memories and emotions she kept bottled up inside came rolling out. That was just what she didn't want.
"I needed to get away from Finn. His scent, the look on his face, the magnetic pull I felt towards him was too much."
Finn left Emilyn all of those years ago, but he never quite got over her. He did what he could to stay busy and live his life. Even when he heard how Em took their break up, he didn't return. Why now does he think he can waltz right back into her life? He has the perfect life to everyone else, so why is he still stuff in the past?
"That's where you're wrong Em. I'm sucessful yes, and Kyler and I make quite a bit off what we do, but whoever told you I was happy was sadly mistaken."
Em didn't know it then, but this one reunion was about to lead to a series of event that would change her life forever. Is Em strong enough to handle everything that is about to come her way?
Ever Enough is written from both Finn and Emilyn's point of views. I love that this story is written this way because you know if the characters are on the same page. You can also tell just how frustrated each character is atthe other without guessing, and oh how much they frustrate each other! I absolutely love this book and highly recommend it. It is very well written and will keep you wanting more.5 stars from Alyssa
