Publisher's Summary:

Resolute. Firm. Unwavering.

That was my love for him.

Steadfast for as long as I can remember.

As my best friend's brother, he ignored me before noticing me. He protected me, bought me my first beer, but eventually became my undoing.

There was a time I would have died to get him to notice me, now I'd do anything to forget him.

I'm not the one who can tame him, and he's not the guy who will change for me.

This isn't a story about falling in love, this is a story about falling out of love.

Unrequited love, and finding the strength to stand up for myself.

Here's to the steadfast.

This is a stand-alone coming-of-age story that crosses years from YA into NA genre. Due to mature subject matter this book is for ages 16 and up. This is not your typical love story.

Such a great story on love through teen years and twenties.

Wow my heart hurts!

My review: (ARC provided)

4 stars!

This book was very well done, but don't expect to get all warm and fuzzy. I'm struggling with this because I didn't get the ending I'd hoped for. This book makes you feel though and that's the purpose of reading right? to feel and ponder. Well this book definitely had me thinking. I'm so angry with Dakota (Cody) our heroine, she made some really bad choices and did so repeatedly. There were many time I wanted to jump into my Kindle and shake her. I know this book is a standalone but it feels a little incomplete. I can't spoil the ending but I was like WTF just happened? Not necessarily in a bad way but a I need to know more way. I would love to get a follow up even if it's a novella. I just want to know what happens to all of these characters. I wouldn't classify this as a love triangle but at points it certainly felt like one.

Mischa and Cody have known each other for awhile. Cody is Mischa's sisters best friend and Cody and Mischa have secretly pined for each other. Mischa is the town bad boy and "white trash" and Cody the town smart girl, the good girl, the rich girl. Circumstances bring them together and more tear them apart. I honestly have to say this is one of the first times I didn't root for the first love. Mischa pissed me off and Cody and him together pissed me off more. And then there was Violet, Mischa's sister who was just as bad and so self-centered.

Killian-he was Cody's crutch her childhood best friend the person she could relate to most. I loved him so much. I think he was my favorite and my heart hurt for him. One of my favorite scenes was the dinner scene between Cody and Killian's family. It put a little humor in the book just when it was needed.

Bassam- A boy Cody meets in college. I wish I got to know him more but what I did know I adored.

The problem is Cody couldn't see the good in any relationship because she was too scared from the past. She pushes everyone away until it's too late.

If you are looking for a book that is going to get you gooey and mushy then this isn't the book for you, but if you want a book that has you feeling and thinking then I say give it a try.

Title: Let's Dance on Our Wedding Day

Publisher: frank robinson

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Kellie Anne Ross moved to Chicago two and a half years ago, to try and start her life over after a breakup that left her heart in pieces. Now a successful dance instructor with her own studio, the displaced Texan spends her time teaching students, winning prizes in line-dancing contests, and dodging phone calls from her obsessed ex, Carl. A master at keeping her chin up in bad circumstances, she secretly dreams of the day she can move on from her past and find a good man to spend her life with.

Chicago police detective Jacob Evans lost his brave, big-hearted Tennessee-transplant partner Tom three months ago in a brutal shootout. A new country and western fan thanks to Tom, Jake has a promise to keep to his lost partner: learn line dancing, one of Tom's passions, and stick to it long enough to enter a dance contest. Problem is, normally confident, athletic Jake can't dance a step.

When Jake comes into Kellie's studio one rainy evening to sign up for lessons, their burdens feel lighter the moment they look into each other's eyes. But their road to romance is a rocky one: Jake's two left feet can improve with practice, but Kellie's past will not let her go. When the two start dating, her less-than-bright stalker ex, Carl, goes on the warpath. Enlisting the aid of a misguided private eye and a caught-in-the-middle streetwalker, Carl hatches a plan to get Kellie to break up with Jake...or else. When Jake steps up to save the day, Kellie comes to realize that the worst dance student she has ever had is also her best chance at true love.

Love the strong, confident country girl!

This book was so enjoyable to listen to! The narrator's smooth voice made the characters come alive! I loved how the main character was a strong and confident country girl who was self-assured and not taking any bull from her piece of trash ex! Although Jake pretty much fell head over heels at first sight (reminding me of my own husband!) he treated her with respect! I thought the writing was very good, I could picture the entire book as it unfolded like a movie in my head. It was really enjoyable to listen to and I would recommend it to everyone!

Members Reviews:

Short but So Good!

This is an awesome short story! I found this book to have some unexpected twists and turns along with humor. Initially I thought it would be another rebound love book, but I was wrong. The main characters (Greyson & Nadia) were original and the narrator did such a wonderful job with the voices and accents. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Cara is after one thing and one thing only: a job in a dirty, rough bar where she can pick up dirty, rough men.

Her first rule is "no repeats", so even after she has a bout of hot, out-of-control sex with her ex-Navy SEAL boss, she refuses to fall into bed...or against the wall...or into the ropes with him again.

The problem is, as they work more closely together, she can't help but fantasize about what Round Two would be like. He's determined to have her, and he's determined to keep her away from the rough bikers who frequent the bar. Just how determined is Cara to deny herself the pleasure of his arms?

Shifting Tales

Interesting stories about bad boys and the women who loved them. Each story takes the reader on an unknown path which leads to their HEA. My favorite was Laura's Secret but I read a similar story in another book but the names were different and this ending was better. I hope it wasn't plagiarized???

Nice work.

Title: Happily Ever After

Subtitle: The Romance Story in Popular Culture

Author: Catherine M. Roach

Narrator: Johanna Oosterwyk

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-04-16

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

"Find your one true love, and live happily ever after". The trials of love and desire provide perennial story material, from the biblical Song of Songs to Disney's princesses, but perhaps most provocatively in the romance novel, a genre known for tales of fantasy and desire, sex and pleasure. Hailed on the one hand for its women-centered stories that can be sexually liberating and criticized on the other for its emphasis on male-female coupling and mythical happy endings, romance fiction is a multimillion-dollar publishing phenomenon, creating national and international societies of enthusiasts, practitioners, and scholars.

Catherine M. Roach, alongside her romance-writer alter ego, Catherine LaRoche, guides the listener deep into Romancelandia, where the smart and the witty combine with the sexy and seductive to explore why this genre has such a grip on readers and what we can learn from the romance novel about the nature of happiness, love, sex, and desire in American popular culture.

Critic Reviews:

"A fascinating account of what is at stake in stories we love about love." (Brenda Weber, author of Makeover TV: Selfhood, Citizenship, and Celebrity)

"[I]mpressively smart...a lively and memorable read!" (Eric Murphy Selinger, executive editor of the Journal of Popular Romance Studies)

"Roach's attempt to do emotional justice to the genre should satisfy academics and fans alike." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

There simply is no better (academic) book on romance fiction

I reviewed this for The Journal of Popular Culture, where you can find a fuller engagement. I'll quote from that review briefly here, since I think it's unfair that this book has one other, rather low, review.

To quote from my review: "Roachâs Happily Ever After is without doubt a methodological groundbreaker, and its effects will hopefully resonate throughout popular culture studies, fandom studies, and future approaches to other genres of popular fiction. Happily Ever After is ultimately an update of and a contemporary response to Radwayâs Reading the Romance, in that it asks many of the same questions (Why do women read romances? Are they good for women?) but does so with the hindsight of three decades of scholarshipâsome of which, including queer theory, fandom studies, and popular romance studies itself, did not exist in 1984. Roachâs insights into romance fictionâs political potentiality (though not always its realization of such), her exploratory readings of individual novels, and her refusal to settle on an either/or approach to analyzing romance and its role in popular culture also ensure that Happily Ever After will have perhaps as great an effect in popular culture studies as Radwayâs book did. Roach achieves what few scholars do: a book with appeal and import to both academics and the layperson, that truly embodies the necessary tension between fandom and the Ivory Tower."

There simply is no better (academic) book on romance fiction. And also, people, come on. It's from a university press. Expect that it will be academic in tone, but also know that this is a read I think many non-academic can get into!

Two Stars

I applaud what Ms. Roach was trying to do, but found her style difficult to read.
