A sweet and steamy second chance romance, for over 18’s only. Candice didn’t have to think twice about volunteering in South Sudan, all she’s ever wanted to do is travel. What she did have to think carefully about was whether to take a chance on one of London’s most notorious players and future CEO of Laine Corporations, Blake Laine. He’s fun, sexy as hell and surprisingly honest but will he … but will he stick around when the unthinkable happens and both their lives are changed forever?

This was an emotional rollercoaster: there’s really no other way I can describe it.
Well, that’s not really true.I could describe it a billion different ways but I’m pretty confident that
the term I just used, it’s the one that encompasses everything that has crossed my mind
in last couple of hours.
You see, it has everything.
Don’t believe me? Then I’ll prove it to you.
Sexy billionaire with piercing green eyes and that trademark irresistible smirk? Check.
Fiery heroine with a smart mouth, the kind that won’t back down even if their life was on the line?
Check.
Action-packed story, suspenseful attention-grabbing scenes, tear-jerking AND laugh out loud moments?
Check.
And of course, let us not forget (how could we?), lots, and lots and lots of hot, sexy, dirty,
all-the-awesome-adjectives-you’re-thinking-of-right-now bits. Huge bits.
Hehe, see what I did there?
Ultimately, this story could’ve been the textbook for “Second Chances 101”.
I really think someone should just teach that course, by the way: it’s needed. Get on in. Stat.
Blake and Candace: two souls that went through so much and, either if you wouldn’t guess it in a million years, belong together.
But then again, you might’ve guessed it.
With all the, you know, flirtatious vibes. 🙂
It was my first time reading Autumn Ruby and you can bet your pinkie I’ll be back.
And can only guess what is coming, but I’m already loving it.
Let’s just say that if what I read about them in this book is any indication, the couple on the way will have you kindles steaming up.
Oh, how I love a good banter.
Every now and then there’s a new author entering the book community and you try the book ‘cuz everyone has to start somewhere 🙂 I really enjoyed the story of Candice and Blake. A story that made you feel and grip you ‘cuz some of the events really do happen in the world. Truly, I can’t wait to read the next one… I want Grey’s story!
When Candice loses her brother, she makes the decision to volunteer in South Sudan to honor him but also to feel closer to him there. But it’s a dangerous situation and when she meets Blake after he’s been wounded in the field, there’s an immediate attraction between them. Every day they get closer in the midst of war and when something happens to Candice, time seems to be pulling them apart. But fate has a way of stepping in and when they meet again, they both know what they’ll be fighting for…
Candice and Blake is meeting under unconventional circumstances. Can love grow when war and destruction is surrounding two people who feels the connection?
In the beginning I had difficulty connecting to the characters but they worked their way in to my heart through the story
What I liked:
* Lots of emotions
* No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
* Seriously hot love scenes
* Emotional and sweet, feelings are well described
* Both Candice and Blake has experienced loss so they have some similar references to life experiences.
* Lots of dialogues (which I love)
* Good storyline
* Secondary characters that makes me want their story too, omg Grayson
* Leaving me feeling happy and at the same time hopeful for the next book.
For a debut novel this is really good. I hope this duo keep writing many books and perfect their writing cause this was a strong 4 star read.
Oh my GOODNESS!!!! I absolutely loved Blake, Candice and all of the supporting characters in Crossed Forces!This book had love, suspense, emotion, best friends, hot sexy Alfa males, and strong women. It really did have everything. I can’t wait to read more from Autumn Ruby!
