Released: March 19th, 2014

Laurel Matthews’ career rests on helping brides-to-be with their most important wedding purchase – their dress. She will go to any length to ensure her customers get their perfect happily ever after, but has accepted the fact she may not get hers. The only two men she ever loved, left her, and she vowed not to let the heartbreak happen a third time. She leaves guys before they leave her and usually she’s fine with that, until one night that she can’t remember, changes everything.

James Dawson, self-proclaimed ladies’ man and all round womaniser has the best one night stand he’s ever had and does he get the chance to repeat it? No, because she can’t even remember it! With his ego pushing him to remedy that immediately he sets about pursuing the woman who could easily be his downfall.

When someone from James’ past settles herself in town and threatens the reprise he was hoping for, will he be able to overcome the temptation and prove himself to be the man Laurel can’t live without? Or will they both let underlying fears, past mistakes and uncertain futures lead them down a different path?

Book Two in the Truth Series - can be read standalone.

"How you feel when I'm around you, is exactly the same as how i feel when you're near me."

Sweet Reflection was such a fucking delightful read. It was funny, sexy, angsty, all mixed into one. My favorite combo! The characters hooked me in from the start with Laurel being a confident, successful heroine and James being far from the stereotypical hot guy, him being a designer and super fucking sweet. The story drew me in with the increase in intensity and passion between the two. One of my favorites this year!

I'm definitely getting my hands on Sweet Deception soon since I haven't read it. This book was just mind-blowing. I absolutely loved the characters and although I got annoyed sometimes with Laurel towards the end, I tried to put myself in her shoes and understood the position she was in.

Laurel is this sexy character who's been hurt by Dickhead Darren when he left her during her miserable days. So she keeps up that sass and confidence to lure in men she's interested in and have quick "relationships" (sex). It was all good.

Until James came along.

James, having the huge-ass ego, was beyond offended with Laurel didn't even remember the one time she slept with him. He makes it his mission to remind her of the great sex they had that night.

However, they end up throwing insults and teases at each other on multiple occasions. Hell, on every occasion before they got together. They were both too scared to admit what they were feeling and resorted to trying to imply their feelings and sending mixed signals.

Once they called a truce though, their sexual tension intensifies and they become best friends. GOD, I LOVE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS. Okay, anyhow, they're at ease around each other just by spending time together and having super awesome sex in bed and other places as well.

Laurel: “Perv.”

James: “Gorgeous.”

Laurel: “Casanova.”

James: “Stunning.”

Laurel: “[breath hitches] Full of it.”

James: “[whispers] Angel.”

I think I just pissed my pants over how cute this scene was. Trust me, it's beyond adorable in the book ;)

And then there's James with his dirty mouth

"I want to lick every inch of your body then stroke my tongue over your hot little pussy until you come, shaking and crying out with pleasure. Then I'll put my hard cock deep inside you, whisper how sexy you are and how much you turn me on, then watch your beautiful face as you come hard around my cock."

But to every relationship, there're always complications, whether it's with family or with outside forces trying to pry them apart. We see how at times they would give in to these pressures but they'll always pull themselves back up and keep going.
