She left her practice in New York for a much simpler life. All is well until she returns home from a business trip to discover that her neighbors up and sold their house. The new guy next door stirs up too many old dormant emotions.<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">Garrett Frost has lost his family. He is barely hanging on these days. When he gets the opportunity to feel alive, he goes full throttle. It doesn\u2019t matter that Teagan is wary. He has to show her that while they are broken they are not lost. Garrett\u2019s story is sad and his pain in shown throughout the entire story. While Teagan is struggling with some demons of her own.<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The chemistry between Garrett and Teagan was off the charts. They lit up the pages. Their love scenes are intense and spicy. Garrett holds nothing back and Teagan lets loose when it comes to him. Once they exploded in the bedroom, that chemistry moved into their emotional life. Of course, Day delivers on her captivating writing style with hidden currencies of lies and secrets. I just wanted to know what was going on.<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">I loved this story for what it truly was. It took a moment after reading it to fully appreciate it \u00a0because part of the story feels left undone but complete at the same time. Just as everything<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">unfolds, it closes out. Sure, the author leaves room for guest appearances in other books or cross over series but a part of me was just consuming the twist. There could have been another chapter just to flush that out. There is so much to say but this is a novella and I just can\u2019t spoil any of the details for that last little moment.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"><strong><span class=\\\"s1\\\"><a href=\\\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2LirvCu\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\\\"s2\\\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once, I would never have imagined myself here.

I recognize the ghosts that haunt him, the torment driving him. Garrett would be risky in any form, but wounded, he\u2019s far more dangerous. I fear I\u2019m too fragile for the storm raging inside him, too delicate to withstand the pain that buffets him. But he\u2019s too determined\u2026and too tempting.<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">And sometimes hope soars above even the iciest desolation.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\\\"size-full wp-image-16468 aligncenter\\\" src=\\\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4-hearts.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"170\\\" height=\\\"44\\\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Aug 27, 2019<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Scorching<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Amazon Publishing<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Montlake<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong>\u00a0$3.99<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><em>Ms. Day doesn\u2019t disappoint in this heartbreaking story of love, loss and resilience.<\/em><\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">Dr. Teagan Ransom loves the quaint life she built for herself. She left her practice in New York for a much simpler life. All is well until she returns home from a business trip to discover that her neighbors up and sold their house. The new guy next door stirs up too many old dormant emotions.<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">Garrett Frost has lost his family. He is barely hanging on these days. When he gets the opportunity to feel alive, he goes full throttle. It doesn\u2019t matter that Teagan is wary. He has to show her that while they are broken they are not lost. Garrett\u2019s story is sad and his pain in shown throughout the entire story. While Teagan is struggling with some demons of her own.<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The chemistry between Garrett and Teagan was off the charts. They lit up the pages. Their love scenes are intense and spicy. Garrett holds nothing back and Teagan lets loose when it comes to him. Once they exploded in the bedroom, that chemistry moved into their emotional life. Of course, Day delivers on her captivating writing style with hidden currencies of lies and secrets. I just wanted to know what was going on.<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">I loved this story for what it truly was. It took a moment after reading it to fully appreciate it \u00a0because part of the story feels left undone but complete at the same time. Just as everything<\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">unfolds, it closes out. Sure, the author leaves room for guest appearances in other books or cross over series but a part of me was just consuming the twist. There could have been another chapter just to flush that out. There is so much to say but this is a novella and I just can\u2019t spoil any of the details for that last little moment.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"><strong><a href=\\\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2LirvCu\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
