NEW RELEASE REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Say Your Mine by Diane Alberts
Diane Alberts' new release is here! This is the 5th in her
Shilling's Agency series, but works just fine as a stand alone. If you're
looking for a great unwind holiday read, then grab this book.
What it's about:
She’s
a challenge he can’t afford to lose…
Navy
SEAL Steven Thomas has only ever been able to count on three things: waking up
in the morning, going to sleep sometime during the night, and Lauren Brixton.
She’s been his best friend since grade school, and what they have is the only
relationship he’s managed not to ruin.
Until
one drunken night puts that all in jeopardy.
Lauren’s
watched Steven flit from one-night stand to one-night stand, seemingly not
interested in something more. So when the long-ignored attraction between the
two of them blows up in their faces, she does the only thing she can—she
pretends she doesn’t want him. But all’s fair in love and war, and Steven’s not
about to lose the only person in his life who matters…

MY REVIEW:
Diane Alberts
delivers a hot, swoon-worthy friends-to-lovers romance.
We’ve got
Steven, our broody broken ex-SEAL who loses himself in booze and one-timers to
numb the pain of his past. He doesn’t believe himself good enough for a solid
relationship with a decent woman. And then there’s Lauren, our stubborn, plucky
heroine who’s Steven’s best friend. Yet, she’s had the hots for Steven since,
well, forever. Somehow they’ve been able to stay friends-only for years, a
situation she plans to change and he doesn’t. One night after too much booze
she tells Steven a tiny little white lie to enlist his help and, yep, they end up
in bed. The lie is going to be a problem, of course. They swear it’ll be one
time only, but these two can’t keep their hands off each other.
The chemistry
between these characters steams off the pages.
I
enjoyed our main characters -- Steven with his overbearing protective
nature as he struggles with PTSD, and Lauren with her fear of abandonment after
a rocky childhood which of course created trust issues. This is a sexy and fast read. Looking
forward to the next in the series.
***Warning:
this is an adult book for mature readers***
