September Book Haul

I bought zero books this month. I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I did receive a few free books from giveaways on Goodreads though. So here are those:

Perfect Seduction by Mia London

She pushed and pushed. Had she pushed too far?

When Colton Knight and his sister were left an inheritance, it never occurred to Cole he would fill in for his sister while she attended to their aunt’s estate. Especially when his sister’s job was to manage an exclusive Upper East Side spa. His head spun when she informed him that he needed to act gay to do it. 
This would definitely be the hardest thing he’d ever had to do.

Alexandra Marshall had enough of L.A. She packed her belongings and headed back home to New York. 
She settled into a loft apartment in the Village, got a part-time job that would allow her breaks for acting jobs, and met her brother’s best friend. Gorgeous, green-eyed and gay. 

Or was he?

Spending time around Cole, the feeling ate at Alex that Cole was in fact straight. 
But how does she prove it? Perhaps through a little seduction . . .


Sweatpants & Stilettos by Rachel N. Cleveland

Many months of this year were what I call the sweatpants days. Don’t even try to tell me you don’t understand what I mean by that statement. But just so we’re all on the same page, sweatpants days are those days that all you want to do is stay in bed with your sweatpants on and have Netflix at your beck and call to create your own marathon event. They are the days in which the sun should not shine, the world should not move on, and no one should smile, laugh or be happy. 

Thankfully, I have learned this year that sweatpants days don’t last forever. I have seen them go from sweatpants to jean days to leather pant days and then on to stiletto days. Those days where you feel the absolute best and are 100% yourself, doing what you were created to do, with people you love to be around, and everything is falling into place. Blessings from heaven abound. Yeah. Those days. They are the stiletto days. They are the take-on-the-world-tell-them-whose-boss-no-one-can-stop-you kind of days. And they are awesome. I love those days. 

Educator, DIY junkie, and Believer, Rachel candidly reveals some of her darkest days and brightest moments. In Sweatpants and Stilettos, she speaks to the truths of Christ that have been put on display through life’s variety of circumstances. She gives light to real and honest conversations we have with ourselves while battling life’s trials, all while still managing to be both brutal and comical.


I will be giving this one away, so please let me know if you are interested in it.

Everything I Left Unsaid by M. O'Keefe

I didn’t think answering someone else’s cellphone would change my life. But the stranger with the low, deep voice on the other end of the line tempted me, awakened my body, set me on fire. He was looking for someone else. Instead he found me.
 
And I found a hot, secret world where I felt alive for the first time.
 
His name was Dylan, and, strangely, he made me feel safe. Desired. Compelled. Every dark thing he asked me to do, I did. Without question. I longed to meet him, but we were both keeping secrets. And mine were dangerous. If I took the first step, if I got closer to Dylan—emotionally, physically—then I wouldn’t be hiding anymore. I would be exposed, with nothing left to surrender but the truth. And my truth could hurt us both.
