#BookReview: Bound to Fate by Kiru Taye @kirutaye

I chose to read Bound to Fate (Bound series #1) by Kiru Taye since I read and enjoyed the sequel Bound to Ransom (#2). Since my normal preference would have been to start from book 1, I decided to rectify that. Here's the Blurb Lara Johnson is coping with the emotional scars of losing both parents in a tragic incident and facing the challenges of starting a new school. Getting involved in a relationship isn't on her priority list. Certainly not this illicit desire for a man, who demands the best from her, yet leaves her breathless in his presence.  All Ike Thomas wants to do is to keep out of trouble and get through the one year internship required for his degree program. But trouble finds him, in the form of an intelligent and brave girl who turns his world upside down. Falling in love is forbidden. So why does it feel so right?  A love like theirs cannot be denied. But catastrophe lies in wait and one night changes their lives forever.  Bound to Fate is a story about su

Prah, Constantine and Baryeh Reviews: Her Perfect Catch by K. L. Brady #PBCReviews

It's June! That means we're back with our (now) once-every-two-months three-in-one reviews (phew, that was a mouth full). We chose Her Perfect Catch , which is book 1 in the Playmaker series by K. L. Brady. Here's the blurb: A CATCH MADE IN HEAVEN When Melanie got hit in the head with a football, Jet got struck in the heart with Cupid's arrow. Only one thing stands between them and forever -- her sexy best friend, Dylan. Nerdy sportswriter Melanie Vincent is always one step from happiness--close enough to see it but too far to reach it. She fell in love with the man she could never have – and a dream job that is circling the drain. But all that is about to change. After years of pining for Dylan, her sexy best friend, she’s finally given up on the wish that he’ll ever see her as more than a buddy, but there’s still hope for saving her once-successful sports blog—if Mel could just find one big sports story.  All she needs is a lucky break to turn her li
