“Ryley, I’m going to ask you again why are you here today?” For the first time since I walked in the door, I look at the therapist. Her hair is cut short, framing her face. It’s brown, but muted. There’s no vibrancy to her color. It’s dull and outdated, much like her couch. Her white, long-sleeved shirt is buttoned high, as if it wants to choke the life out of her. Her cat-like glasses perch on the edge of her nose, and she reclines in her chair with her pad of paper resting on her lap, her pen poised to write down my words at a moment’s notice. “I’m here because six years ago I lost the love of my life, but now he’s back from the dead, and in a few weeks I’m set to marry my best friend. His brother.” a Rafflecopter giveaway About Heidi McLaughlin… Read more »

REVIEW: Finding My Way by Heidi McLaughlin
REVIEW Heidi McLaughlin does it again. I don’t care how I feel about the book going in (No one will compare to Liam and JoJo… Nothing will tear me away for my love for Mason and Katelyn…) I always leave totally captivated! I love this world. At first I wasn’t sure I was interested in Liam’s pre-story to Forever My Girl, but damn if i didn’t get sucked in and yeah, even though I knew some of the plot points because I’ve read all the other books, each one touched me the same way this time as it did the first time. I was anxiously waiting for them to come, in fact. With that said, you do not have to read all the other books to enjoy this one. In fact, It’s perfect to actually start the series with Finding My Way, because really, this is the beginning of the… Read more »
FRIDAY NIGHT FREEBIE: Beaumont Series by Heidi Mclaughlin
I was never supposed to be a rock star. I had my life all planned out for me. Play football in college. Go to the NFL. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after. I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I’ve poured my soul into my music, but I’ve never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile. And now I’m going back. After ten years. I hope I can explain that after all this time. I still want her to be my forever girl. I expected a life of music. I expected to raise my son. It took one look to make everything change. I never expected happiness. I never expected to find her. I never expected to feel desire. I never expected I’d… Read more »
REVIEW: Finding my Forever by Heidi McLaughlin
The Beaumont series just keeps getting better and better. I adored Forever my Girl – it was a sweet second chance romance that was just heartwarming. But I LOVED My Unexpected Forever so much. I really connected with that story. So when I started Finding My Forever I wasn’t sure what I was in for. I fell in love with Harrison and Katelyn and that whole story. But I tell you this book totally took me by surprise. This is the BEST Beaumont book so far. I fell in love with Jimmy and Jenna – and look they even have matching first name letters! This book takes all the other stories and piles on a heap of danger, mystery, and a perfect happily ever after. Every single time I thought I had this story wrapped up, I got another surprise! One I sat up and gasped! I was like –… Read more »

RELEASE DAY REVIEW: My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin
REVIEW First of all, I love this blurb. I really enjoy unconventional blurbs, I think it shows that the author is willing to take a risk and not just write up the same old same old when it comes to a summary. OK, now on to the book review. I loved Forever My Girl, the first book in this series and you can find my review here. This series centers on the town of Beaumont and the people who live there. Forever My girl centered around Liam and Josie, first loves who got separated by life and time, and then reunited with the tragic death of a best friend, Mason, who was Katelyn’s husband. There are a few topics in books that always get me and one of them is losing the love of your life. I cry like every single time. I was only a few pages into Forever… Read more »
