ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 18 2020

The boy next door has always made her breathless.

Joey… I wouldn’t say I ran away exactly—twenty-two is too old for that. I’d call it self-preservation.

I have one objective: protect my heart from the boy next door who has no clue I’ve loved him my whole life, even with a front row seat to his revolving bedroom door.

My escape plan almost worked. Except I left one thing behind.

Logan Carter hijacked my heart, and now it’s time to get it back. This time for good.

Logan…I wouldn’t say I’ve been lying this whole time—not about everything. Not about how much I miss my best friend, and definitely not about how pissed I am that she left with hardly a goodbye.

She’s the last person I ever expected to ghost me, and her absence left a gaping hole in my chest.

When Joey Grayson steps off that bus, I know I’ll do anything to keep her home, and that means finding out the truth. But I’m not sure how to tell her my truths when I’m living so many lies

REVIEW: Friends to lovers…

I officially worship at the bookshelf of Lex Martin!

The third in the Texas Night series, Breathless is a heartwarming, uplifting romance of friendship, family and love.

We are welcomed back with characters from the first and second books, but even more so we get the story of Joey and Logan.

Logan Carter has always been known as the ladies man of the brothers, and while that is true, no one knows the real him. No one but Joey.

Joey AKA Josephine, his lifelong best friend. A best friend that just returned from a six month trip to Florida. A trip that Logan has hated.

Joey ran away from Logan, to clear her head and to try and get over the man who she has been in love with for as long as she remembers. As if that works, after retuning home, the drama kicks off right away.

The spark that has always been there between these two is finally burning…but will secrets come a calling and drown that spark before it can burn bright.

Join Logan, Joey and the rest of the Carter brood as they navigate family drama and secrets that may just ruin the entire of the family.

This book has it all, romance, friendship, family and vulnerability. Once you start this book you won’t want to put it down, the pages will just call you right back!

SHAMELESS
(Texas Night #1)
by Lex Martin
Release Date: April 26, 2016

ebook FREE Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play

Brady… What the hell do I know about raising a baby? Nothing. Not a goddamn thing.

Yet here I am, the sole guardian of my niece. I’d be lost if it weren’t for Katherine, the beautiful girl who seems to have all the answers. Katherine, who’s slowly finding her way into my cynical heart.

I keep reminding myself that I can’t fall for someone when we don’t have a future. But telling myself this lie and believing it are two different things.

Katherine… When Brady shows up on a Harley, looking like an avenging angel—six feet, three inches of chiseled muscle, eyes the color of wild sage, and sun-kissed skin emblazoned with tattoos—I’m not sure if I should fall at his feet or run like hell. Because if I tell him what happened the night his family died, he might hate me.

What I don’t count on are the nights we spend together trying to forget the heartache that brought us here. I promise him it won’t mean anything, that I won’t fall in love.

I shouldn’t make promises I can’t keep.

REVIEW: Sweet, sexy and oh so yummy.

This was one of the first books by Ms. Martin I have had the pleasure of reading, and let me tell you I am hooked! A small town, Texas romance that is guaranteed to get all engines firing.

Brady is a Harley riding, hunk covered in muscles and tattoos. What’s better than that?! Originally from Boston, the tattoo artists heads to a small town in Texas after his brother and sister in law pass away. Now book peeps, this where the book gets good. Overwhelmed and out of his mind in grief, he enters into his brothers home to find his niece Isabella, a niece that he and his family thought had died with her parents, but that’s not all he finds..

Katherine is holding it together by the skin of her teeth. Her life long best friend, Melissa is gone, along with Melissa husband, and now she is holding their child waiting to meet a man she has never laid eyes on. Although she has drama of her own, Kat can’t leave the poor baby alone. When a Harley rolls up the farms drive, Kat doesn’t know what to expect, but Brady was not it.

Brady is awestruck when he meets Kat, but she quickly becomes his saving grace when it comes to caring for his niece. Their connection and chemistry spark to life, and neither know what to do with. Join Brady and Kat on their journey as they both cope with the loss of family, find love and a new beginning.

RECKLESS
(Texas Nights #2)
by Lex Martin
Release Date: February 20, 2018

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo (Paper) / Google Play

Tori…
For the record, I’m not going to hook up with my boss.

I’m a lot of things—a screwup, a basket case, a flunky. But when I take a nanny job to be near my pregnant sister, I swear to myself I’ll walk the straight and narrow, which means I cannot fall for my insanely hot boss.

I don’t want to be tempted by that rugged rancher. By his chiseled muscles or southern charm or the way he snuggles his kids at bedtime. Ethan Carter won’t get the key to my heart, no matter how much I want him.

Ethan…
Between us, she’s the last thing I need as I finalize my hellish divorce.

What sane man trying to rebuild his life wants a hot nanny with long, sexy hair, curves for miles, and a smart mouth? A perfectly kissable, pouty mouth that I shouldn’t notice.

My focus is on my kids and my ranch, not the insufferable siren who sleeps in the room next to mine. It doesn’t matter that she wins over my kids in a heartbeat or runs my life better than I do. Tori Duran is the one woman I can’t have and shouldn’t want, no matter how much I crave her.

••••••••••

REVIEW:The second in the Texas Night series, Reckless is a book of second chances, warm embrace and scorching sexiness.

Ethan is newly divorced and struggling to keep his ranch and children going. His ex-wife up and left, and he still doesn’t understand why. He needs help, he just wasn’t expecting Tori to be the help me really needed.

Tori, a fiery but vulnerable young woman trying to live down her past and start anew. After her sister Katherine gets her an interview as a nanny for a neighbor, she reluctantly takes her up on it. Tori wants to be close to her sister as she is heavily pregnant and family means everything to her. When she meets Ethan she is knocked off her feet, she wants to dislike him, she wants to stay angry, she’s DOESN’T want to want him like she does. His children; Mila and Cody burrow their way into her heart and slowly the connection she and Ethan share blooms.

…but what happens when his ex comes calling? Tori’s past comes to rear it’s ugly head. Join the pair as they explore their new connection, experience a new beginning and learn to love all over again.

I loved this book, the first in the series I would recommend reading, while you can read this as a stand-alone it would be best to read the first as to get the full experience of all the characters. It’s safe to say that I can’t wait for Logan’s book!!!
