Book Blitz & Reviews: Trust In Me by Stephanie Reid




TRUST IN ME
Author: Stephanie Reid
Series: Protector, Book #2 (Standalone)
Genre: Contemporary Romance
~ SYNOPSIS ~
Love cynic Sandra Carmichael is one more failed relationship older and swearing off men for good. Not that she has time for a man anyway. Between graduate school, work, and keeping her younger brother out of trouble, she’s lucky if she sleeps. Determined to stop her brother’s downward spiral, Sandra aims to eliminate the negative influences in his life. And topping her most unwanted list is her brother’s boss—the imposing, tattooed, and evasive Nick Tomaras.

No stranger to the darker side of life, Nick does what he has to do to help his family and justifies his actions to no one. The last thing he wants or needs is to answer to his errand-boy’s meddling sister. No matter how sexy she is.

But when Sandra and her brother find themselves in grave danger, Nick gets more involved than he ever intended, and Sandra must decide if she can place her faith in the one man she hoped never to see again.

~ Marlene's Review of Trust In Me ~
If you love a sweet romance with a splash of sexy, then you’ll love this one! This story also has suspense, past heartaches, and a happily ever after that will melt your heart. It’s very well written with smooth dialog and a great cast of characters.

Sandra has been crushed by past relationships and has no immediate plans to take a leap into another. She has too much on her plate right now to even think about beginning a new relationship anyway. The highest priority for her seems to be her brother that she feels may up to no good. She will do whatever it takes to keep him out of trouble. She’s definitely NOT going to let the fact that she thinks that the new boss man in her brother’s life is hot as heck get in the way of doing just that!

Nick is the ‘bad boy’ that Sandra feels the need to protect her brother from. He’s mysterious, tatted up, and screams danger. He seems to be up to no good, but is he really? Nick is hot, sexy, and oozes with charm. His attraction to Sandra may be strong, but he needs to keep focus on the job at hand. Easier said than done!

Trust In Me is the second book in the Protector Series. It can certainly be read as a standalone, but I recommend also reading the first book, Talk To Me as you will be treated to guest appearances from past characters in this one.

I highly recommend taking this action packed journey with Nick and Sandra. As I said, if you love a sweet romance, you won’t regret grabbing this one!

TALK TO ME
Author: Stephanie Reid
Genre: Contemporary Romance 
Series: Protector Series, Book #1 
~ SYNOPSIS ~
Emily Simon is a good listener. Maybe a little too good. As a professional counselor who's been unintentionally clocking hours after work with her advice-seeking friends, Emily decides it's time to hang up the counselor hat when she's out of the office and make something happen in her own life. She has just two rules: No men with emotional baggage and no risk takers.

Bryan “Mac” McAvoy is tormented by the death of a teenage boy, shot during a robbery gone wrong, and fellow police officer, Sean Simon, is convinced his sister Emily is just the person to help Mac get back his edge.

With his dangerous vocation and giant suitcase full of guilt, Emily vows to steer clear and guard her heart. But when she receives a death threat from a deranged client, she finds that Mac may be the only man who can guard her life.

~ Marlene's Review of Talk To Me ~
I was fortunate enough to be gifted an ARC copy of this book from the author. I love to discover new authors, so I couldn't wait to dig in. Well, once I started reading, I couldn't stop! I had to keep reminding myself that this was a debut release. It certainly didn't read as one.
-The writing was top notch. Smooth flow, easy to follow, and attention to detail was impeccable.
-The characters were likeable and easy to relate to. I felt the connection between the characters immediately and that made it easy to become connected to them as well.
-The plot line holds your attention with some mystery, suspense, and a splash of humor. I was thrown for a short loop a couple of times when I thought I knew what was going to happen, then I was reminded that not all books are predictable.

I highly recommend this book to everyone! A sweet romance of two guarded hearts finding themselves and finding each other. Throw in a fairytale HEA....How could you NOT read it?

*This book is listed as part of a series (Protector Series), but this book is a standalone with no cliffy.
