Sincerely, Carter, by Whitney G.

Sincerely, Carter (Sincerely Carter, #1)

Sincerely, Carter by Whitney Gracia Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A nice feel good read - best friend romance

I thoroughly enjoyed Sincerely, Carter by Whitney Gracia Williams. This was my first read by this author and was glad I picked it up. I'm looking forward to reading more titles by her (and did I see a Sincerely, Arizona listed on Goodreads???).

It took me 20% into the book to REALLY get into it but once things started happening, I had trouble putting it down. I got attached to the characters, both male and female. The friendship between the two main characters is wonderful and I liked getting occasional little glimpses into how their friendship evolved through the years with scattered flashbacks. I enjoyed the fact that sexuality didn't overpower the book. I'm all for sexy time in a story but I admire an author who knows how to not cross the line between free gratuitous sex and using the sexual encounters to move the story forward and make the characters evolve. Whitney Gracia Williams manages to do this beautifully in Sincerely, Carter.

18+ for explicit sexual content and language.

Pre-Order: Last Heartbreak, by H.M. Ward and Melanie Bussière

LAST HEARTBREAK

A ROMANCE NOVEL ABOUT SECOND CHANCES BY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR H.M. WARD & INTRODUCING MELANIE BUSSIÈRE

COMING MARCH 7th, 2016

PRE-ORDER NOW!

When a hot guy with blazing blue eyes and a sexy smirk saves my ass and covers up my sins, I know I'm screwed. He's poor, and is probably deprived like every other ass I've attracted recently.

I admit it. I'm a moron magnet. If the guy's a dick, then he sweeps me off my feet and promptly stabs me in the back. Billionaires are all the same. I've fallen for loser after loser, which earned me the classy reputation of being easy. I'm easy on the eyes, easy to bed.

But no one knows the truth, no one knows the events that forced me onto the ledge of that elite NYC hotel--no one except that strapped, hot waiter.

Now I have to figure out if he's an ally or an enemy. I need a friend, a real one, and not some jerk who's after my money or my name. But if I make the wrong choice, it'll destroy me.

The ledge high above the city was only the beginning. No one can help me now. I'm on my own.

LIFE BEFORE DAMAGED, volume 9

A LOVE STORY ABOUT AN ALPHA MANWHORE AND A GOOD GIRL BY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR H.M. WARD

AVAILABLE NOW!

Money. Power. Sex.

Billionaire Pete Ferro is a manwhore and always will be. There aren't fifty shades of gray when it comes to love. Sometimes all we have is the here and now, and there aren't second chances -- so why pretend? That's the part I don't understand. Why does he act like he wants me one moment and then hate me the next?

The man is sexy, with dark hair and a dimple at the corner of his crooked smile. He's forever swarmed by women, never wanting for anything. He doesn't want love. He doesn't want me.

But those poems he writes, and the verses that run deeper than his alpha male exterior lets on, it leaves me wondering if I've fallen for a man or a myth.

Genre: New Adult Romance

This story unfolds over multiple volumes

Length: Approx. 130 pgs
