When Saint John “Sinjun” Livingston moves from California to small town New Mexico, he knows he’s leaving behind a ton of baggage. There’s no room for shame, fear, a stalker ex, or his failed marriage in his vintage Caddy, and he’s starting as new life as the owner of the Rainbow Spa and Lodge. The lodge is like a bandage for all his hurts, and he knows it will be a place to find peace. He can’t wait. What Sinjun doesn’t expect from Truth or Consequences is a meeting a beautiful Texas cowboy on the side of the road, and immediately wanting to get to know him better.


Rhys Davis knows he wants to see Sinjun again as soon as they meet. There’s something about the free-spirited man with the weird name that calls to him. Good thing he’s as good a handyman as he is a rancher. He offers to help fix up Sinjun’s lodge and spa and take the place from the 1970s to the modern age, all the while falling for the sweetest man he’s ever known. The spa seems to live up to it’s reputation as a healing space, but between Sinjun’s past coming back to haunt him and Rhys’s family butting in, the two men have to find a way to come together over their problems instead of letting life rip them apart.

When Sinjun tied the knot, he was young, scared and alone. Where he was expecting fireworks and romance, he got absolutely hell on earth with a possessive, controlling psychotic monster instead of an attentive lover.

In a bid to escape from his abusive, stalker ex, Hal, he packs his bags and moves to Southern New Mexico.

Here as the owner of the Rainbow Spa and Lodge he is able to start afresh and give himself another shot at happiness.


When Rhys Davis meets Sinjun for the first time, he is instantly enamored with the beautiful surfer come to life, his soulful bright blue eyes and his carefree smile. He can't help but be drawn to the free spirited man with lean muscles and gorgeous tanned skin.

Fixing Sinjun’s lodge gives him a chance to get closer to the intriguing man and get to know him better.


Will Sinjun get another chance at happiness with Rhys or will his past come back to destroy the little happiness he he has found?

This was so beautifully written!

What Sinjun had to go through with his ex was heartbreaking, but that only made him fight for a better life and made him stronger.

Rhys was so sweet, caring and understanding, he was a breath of fresh air that Sinjun needed in his life.

The scenes where Hal physically and verbally abuses Sinjun were so heartwrenching and made me a bit emotional.


This was such a beautiful journey of a man claiming his life back despite the emotional wreckage that he has gone through and coming out braver and stronger than before!

I always like my MC'S to be put through the wringer before getting their HEA, and this one definitely didn't disappoint!

PRECIOUS BY LILY LAMB: BOOK REVIEW

  BLURB   I knew the instant I saw him he was meant for me.  I feel like the focus of my life took a hundred-and-eighty-degree shift.  I couldn’t stop thinking about him.  He became my obsession…my descent into hell.  Damn. I couldn’t be sure who the monster was…him, me or my enemies.  My heart and mind will defy all logic but he doesn’t know that.  I’ll do anything for Dillon. He defines my destiny and I will fight for his survival. Our fates are sealed.  I shall not wait any longer.  REVIEW   This book is unlike anything I have ever read. I don't want to give much away, so I won't go too much into detail about the story itself. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this, but let me tell you, I was engaged from the very first page. The twists and turns will keep you guessing and at the edge of your seat. The characters are real, relatable and well fleshed out. I liked that this was in dual POV as we get a perspective ...

HEART OF THE HOLIDAYS BY PAT HENSHAW: BOOK REVIEW

  BLURB  Everyone hopes his road to happily ever after will be carefree and smooth, but too often hair-pin turns and detours seem to get in the way.   Having thought he was on the road to forever before, former Silicon Valley programmer Dan Lassiter is leery about pedaling down it again. His elderly companion Charlie urges him to get to know Rick Reardon whose bakery is across the street from Dan’s bicycle shop.   Under the watchful eye of Charlie, Dan and Rick take tentative steps towards each other, all the while trying to avoid potholes such as exes, homophobes, and family problems.   As summer turns to fall and then winter, they hope that the road will be smooth going from their first date and first kiss to having what Rick’s sister euphemistically calls their “sleep overs”. At each step, though, they are tripped up and wonder why there seem to be so many bumps in their road.   Maybe Dan and Rick should heed some of Charlie’s sage advice or maybe they s...
