Never did I think a girl like Gretchen Hawthorne would be the woman of my dreams.
She is stubborn, irritating, and can piss me off at the drop of a hat. But she is also sweet and has a vulnerability about her that she doesn’t allow many to see.
She let me in for a split second, and what I found was even more than I had bargained for. Her façade is nothing more than a mask to hide her fears.
One wild night in the barn at my cousin’s house, and I’m hooked.
She’s intriguing.
She’s beautiful.
But she also has it in her head that she and I will never work.
Which is ridiculous, and I vow to prove her wrong.
I’m Colton Thomas, and I’m stubborn too, and I do not give up easily.
She better hold on tight because I’m coming for her. And I plan to break down all those walls she’s built so high around her.
Falling in love with a pop starlet has its drawbacks
Lack of privacy, for one
Gossip, for another
But falling in love with Kiki Ramirez was the best thing I’ve ever done
And the stupidest
One story planted by her agent and now I look like a fool
Played by the starlet
Looking like a simp for the world to see
But none of its true and I can’t defend my woman how I want
The urge to fight for her, to defend her is too strong
Even against the Hollywood machine working hard to keep us apart
Kiki
Falling in love with a civilian wasn’t part of the plan
I didn’t believe in love
Not for me and not for my life
But a small town mayor was the man who’d torn down my walls
Snuck past my defenses
And now with our future hanging in the balance its up to me to find a way to make it all work
A crazy agent
A ravenous paparazzi
And a pregnant belly I’m powerless to hide
I want Eric and the life I see for us
But how can I invite this madness into his quiet, small town life?
“… enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance, which kept me happily turning the pages.”
“This story had me hooked.”
N.D. Jackson spends her days wandering the streets of whatever European city she and her husband finds themselves visiting or living in, creating new characters and new worlds for her novels, and she spends her nights cooking yummy vegan food and whipping up not-so-fancy but tasty cocktails for loved ones. Though a native of Chicago she currently lives in Romania and has slowly started to travel again, though she still longs for the days she could fill her passport with stamps from Germany, Amsterdam, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Romania, Hungary, Austria and all the other places she’s visited.
Since she received her first library card at the age of 7, not a day goes by where she doesn’t read a page or chapter. Or finish a whole book. Her first novel, Conflict of Interest was published in 2014 at the ripe old age of she’s not telling and she had been entertaining readers with tales of love and romance ever since.

Meet me at midnight– whispered words from drunken lips. Lips that I had spent years wanting to kiss. Lips that I had dreamt about night after night, waking to wonder what if. What if he noticed me? What if he wanted me? What if… But I quickly learned some things are better left to wonder. Especially where Levi Mills is concerned. He didn’t just steal my innocence that night. He broke every part of me. Dismantled me from the inside out until there was nothing left of the girl I used to be. Years passed. Moments faded into the background. Until eventually he became nothing more than a distant memory- a dream that almost didn’t seem real. But then suddenly he’s there, standing in front of me again like he never left. And in that one heartbeat, in that one breath, I relive it all over again. Every touch. Every word. Like frozen snippets of time suspended in front of my eyes. And then he smiles that all too familiar smile, meet me at midnight moving soundlessly across his lips.
Melissa Toppen’s Meet Me At Midnightis a good read. The thing I loved most about this story is the fun cast of characters. Olive’s best friends, Josie & Lizzie were great and meddlesome but their lifelong friendship and sense of sisterhood really helped push the story forward. The details of the friendship and their lives really helped build out Olive & Levi’s world in Warren, RI.
I am a sucker for a good second chance romance and I enjoyed pretty much every aspect of this story. Just about.
Except Levi.
Yeah sure he’s hot and smoldering and that’s fine but I just didn’t like him at all. He was selfish and in my eyes he never redeemed himself. The only reason he got what he wanted was because Olive wanted him, not that he did anything to deserve it throughout the story. I wanted him to turn around and I even rooted for him…until the office incident.
I’m happy that Olive got what she wanted. For now.
Aside from Levi’s unworthiness I really enjoyed Meet Me At Midnight.

What’s not to love? There’s just one thing missing. But I don’t know what it is. At least until he comes back to town.

Every time I turn around, there he is. He wants to know about me. And no matter how hard I try to ignore him…I can’t. He’s everything I wanted as a teenager. And as an adult?

Copyright 2022 @A.M. Williams “What do you think about dinner again next weekend?” Alex’s words brought me out of my mind and I quickly processed what he was saying. “You want to go out again?” I couldn’t keep the surprise out of my voice. He slanted a look my way, then quickly looked back at the road before grinning. “Yeah, I want to go out again. I had a lot of fun and don’t want to stop.” A large smile spread across my face. Oh my, God! I wanted to squeal and do a dance at him asking me out again. But considering I was sitting next to him in the front seat of his car, I’d have to wait. We were just passing the “Welcome to Evergreen Ridge” sign when I asked, “Has your dog run away from you anymore?” Alex chuckled, and I grinned. “Nah, he hasn’t seen any other women he wants to accost on the ice. We’ll have to plan a day for you to go out so we can make it happen.” I laughed. “I’m sure I can find time in my schedule.” My phone buzzed in my jacket pocket, reminding me of the email I had sitting in my inbox that I needed to deal with. I stiffened at the reminder. “Here we are,” Alex said, pulling into my driveway. “You stay there.” I grinned as I watched him lever out of the car and jog around to my side, pulling the door open.
I smiled as I accepted his hand, gasping when he threaded his fingers through mine and walked me to my door. My face heated as we climbed the steps.

That’s all it took for Trey O’Brien’s life to change, twisted into an unrecognizable mess. Paralyzed by the weight of his guilt, he was numb to anything that wasn’t his self-induced loathing and isolation. And that was on a good day.
Callie loftier spent the first part of her life in the shadow of her illness. Two years ago, she was given a second chance, and she intended to live life to the fullest.
She danced in the rain, sang as loud as she could and met every adventure head-on.
Life was short, and since she knew nothing was permanent, she had no time for things like falling in love.
But when Trey and Callie collided, life blurred into something beautiful.
Could the secret Callie carries with her ruin everything and bring the entire O’Brien family down? Or will it be exactly what Trey needs to pause, and remember how to live again?
People fear what they don’t understand. Maybe that’s why they all fear me. I’m sure they have their reasons, I just couldn’t possibly care what any of them are. As long as they’re afraid.
Born to a drug dealer father and a drug addict mother, I’ve been through enough to make a normal person lose their mind five times over. I’m not normal. Normal is for weak people, and I’m anything but weak.
My childhood was made of nightmares, but there was one light in all my darkness. Her name was Reina Wilde, and when my mother would hit me or pass out in the middle of the living room on her high, I would confide in her. We were from completely different worlds, but she meant something to me, though I never figured out what, because she left. In the years that followed, I built a reputation for myself, and let go of any and all deluded notions of love.
I’ll never go straight now. It’s just too much fun taking things from people who are powerless to stop me. And make no mistake about it, I take what I want, from who I want, when I want.
I’m infamous in this city. But everything changes when, after years apart, I finally see Reina again, and she’s standing next to my enemy–the underboss of the Philadelphia mob.
It’s not just about power anymore. It’s not about respect. No, this is personal now.
Gasoline has been thrown on the flame, and for Reina, I’m about to burn the whole world to the ground.
