☆Finding Solace
Sadie Warren is a walking contradiction. The confidence she wears on the outside is only to cover the scars that are imbedded on her soul. Coming out of an abusive relationship where she was stripped of her security and confidence, she chooses to bury it under every man she gives her body to.
After one intoxicated night that she will never remember in its entirety, everything begins to change. Being seen more for her positive attributes and less for her faults, Sadie arises from the dark and into a place she feels safe. But with that comes a chain of events that blur the lines of everything she thought she needed and everything she's beginning to want.
Will fear keep her from the one thing she believes she desires most or will fate take a turn unexpectedly and change everything?

~ and falling in love the whole time, July 5, 2014By Tara Bwater
This book... man! I was on an emotional roller coaster throughout the entire thing. I was laughing one moment, crying the next, and falling in love the whole time. It is truly an immaculate story being told that you literally fall into and become one of the characters. Barbara Speak is such an amazing author that you have a difficult time finding a boring or uninteresting part throughout the whole thing.
IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED FINDING SOLACE AFTER JUNE 1ST THIS WAS INCLUDED.
Hey there guys, my name is Colton Jennings, but most people just call me Colt. After reading Sadie's story myself, I wanted to straighten a few things out. I know everything she told you was how she felt as things unfolded, but it certainly wasn't how I did. I thought I came across as a jerk, like I didn't care enough through the whole ordeal to appreciate what I had while I had it. That was not the case for one second. I was just lost within myself, trying to figure out what I needed from what I wanted and I made the wrong choices. You won't understand a thing I'm saying if you haven't read Finding Solace first. But if you have, this is how I saw it

☆Fearing Regret by Barbara Speak
This story is for 18 years of age and up and not suitable for a young audience.
Synopsis:
It seems Kate Williams has it all; money, great job, a supportive family, and an amazing group of friends. What she lacks is the confidence and ability to make a good decision regarding the men in her life. After the worse break up yet, she runs into the arms of Ryan, her long time best friend and the one that seems to always mend all of her broken hearts. But after years of being "That" guy, he is ready to confess to her what he has felt all along.
A night out with her friends brings a complete stranger into the mix. One encounter on the dance floor is all it took for him to flood her every thought. But Is he really a stranger after all or is he closer to her than she thinks?
Should Kate take the chance and chose her best friend, knowing he will cherish her forever? Or should she take a leap and go with the man that had her heart before she even knew his name?
Someone’s heart will be broken, someone will lose everything they hold dear, and someone will tell the ultimate lie and destroy everything.
Will fearing regret keep Kate away from what she really wants most?

By VernaDeneFearing Regret was just as remarkable as I thought it would be. I was so excited for this second book to this series and Barbara didn’t let me down.

Book 3 in the Flawless Trilogy
Synopsys
What Marissa Johnson never expected when she came to Illinois to tour her brother's Alma mater was meet the man who would haunt her dreams.
Once introduced, she knew she would do anything to stay close to him and hope for a chance.
Mike Harrison never expected to fall for his old college friends little sister. Defending his heavy weight title and having any woman he wanted wasn't enough to keep him away any longer.
Two years came and went while neither of them acted on their wants or desires. All of that changes when someone's grief brings the two together into a situation they can't ignore any longer.
But what happens when insecurity, jealousy, and lack of faith come into play? Can these two overcome the obstacles thrown in their path or will it all come crashing down around them?
Let's start with the fact that I am a huge fan of this series. I have read all of Barbs books and thought that after reading Fearing Regret I had found my favorite. Boy was I wrong! Not only does Fighting Fate give you a whole new story about Marissa and Mike but we have more of the characters from the first 2 books.
Mike, OH Mike has fallen hard for Marissa but has kept himself away. First because of her age then because of her brother's friendship.
Marissa, shy and quietly longingly for Mike to pay her attention, until she decides not to care if he does or not. She transforms into a fiesty, back talking woman that is not afraid to tell Mike where to go.
This is what changes their fate! Mike has found the fire in her that he longed to see and will not let anything stand in his way to have her in his arms and give her his heart. Beautiful! Now everything that is worth having comes with trial and tribulations and let me tell you that Barbara, did not spare her characters heart ache. That is what I love about her writing! It isn't always tied up in a pretty bow. Sometimes things get hard but as long as you have your family cheering you on to help you overcome those issues you should be able to battle through them. Fate will always have her way. Fighting Fate has now become my Favorite book in this series!!!
