Goodbye Secrets by Jacquelyn Ayres

(Lost & Found Series Book 2 – this book is not a standalone)

What if your life wasn’t exactly as you thought it was? What if there were secrets you kept—from yourself?

Becca Campbell has no idea her world is about to be turned upside down when she and Grayson return to New Hampshire.

Pieces start flying into place, answering the questions of the puzzle she calls her life. Things finally add up— it all makes sense. All that was lost is now found.

But will she be able to move forward, knowing the truth?


I am a Domestic Engineer (born and raised in NJ) whose sole responsibility is to guide three young impressionable kids into becoming phenomenal adults. This challenging, yet rewarding work requires a lot of love (coffee), patience (wine) and determination (periodic exorcisms). I work all of this magic in the beautiful state of New Hampshire.

Before becoming a Domestic Goddess (not really), I spent over a decade working in the medical field where I wore more hats than the Queen.

I have had a love for the written word and the great escape it provides since I was a little girl. When I wasn’t reading about people and the places they lived, I was creating my own characters and adventures. Finally, I have been putting a pen to paper allowing my characters to come to life. When I don’t have a pen and paper in hand, you can often find me laughing at the conversations my characters are having in my head

Male escort.That got your attention.

Some of the most powerful and well known women in the country pay to have sex with me, some of them married. Some are into more than just straight sex, which is why they call me. Bondage, power play, submission…nothing is off the table. I will do anything for the right price.

The stories I could tell you about a certain high profile congresswoman, or that innocent blonde actress. Trust me, she’s not so innocent.

Guys would kill for my job. I’m living the fucking dream. Meaningless sex, no relationship hang-ups and I’m rolling in the dough. Life is perfect, just the way it is.

Until I meet her.

She changes everything.

She makes me want more than I’ve ever wanted for myself and she believes in me. But she also thinks I sell insurance. I can’t stop what I do, but I can’t give her up.

Eventually, my two worlds are going to collide and when they do, shit will hit the fan.

When I first looked at the information on this book, I was expecting something drastically different than what it was. It was advertised as an intense erotica read but it turned out to be SO much more than just and erotica book. This was a heartfelt story of someone who was giving his chance at love up for the sake of his family. The story develops as it goes with Coop realizing that he can’t live his life as an escort forever. He is fully aware of what the lifestyle is costing him when he reconnects with Mia after years of her being away.


As Coop and Mia discover each other, Coop’s life is thrown in the spotlight. The writer does an excellent job of portraying his emotions in the book. There were times that brought tears to my eyes. The sex scenes were hot but the best part of the book was the emotional story of Coop. It was a book that flowed well and can be read fairly quickly. I love that it was set up at the end to continue into another book, yet did not end in a major cliffhanger.


Missy Johnson has written a great book in Tease. If you are not an erotica reader, don’t let the label of erotica scare you away from this one. The story is too good to pass up. Loved the book and will give it five stars!

Missy lives in a small town in Central Victoria with her husband, and her confused pets (a dog who think she’s a cat, a cat who thinks he’s a dog…you get the picture).

When she’s not writing, she can usually be found looking for something to read.

When Gavin saves Corabelle from her plunge into the frigid waters of the Pacific, he knows her recovery from pneumonia is only the beginning of their journey. They share a difficult history — a teen pregnancy, a seven-day-old baby who died of a heart condition, and his decision four years ago to leave Corabelle behind and not look back.

But there are no secrets between them now. As Gavin and Corabelle build a new future together, they learn to trust each other again, falling back on that love they have shared since they were children.

But their past has one last shocking surprise, a revelation that will shake their tender bond and pierce the heart of Corabelle, who has just begun to believe that she truly is Gavin’s only forever love.

Forever Loved is the heart-wrenching conclusion to Corabelle and Gavin’s passionate story.

The Beginning

Today starts my first day of blogging.  I have become an avid reader again and really enjoy sharing my experiences with a book.  In addition, I love to take pictures and thought this would be a good way to share those too.  So begins my blogging experience!

Before I had children, I loved to read.  After children, there just didn’t seem to be enough time between work, kids and family to read.  A little over a year ago, I kept hearing all of the hype about Fifty Shades of Grey and decided to see what it was all about.  All three books in the series were published at the time and I read all three in less than a week.  I was suddenly hooked on books again!  Since then, I have read over 200 books, mostly in the contemporary romance genre.  (This doesn’t include re-reading the Fifty Shades of Grey series at least 6 time!)  

A few months ago, I discovered the Goodreads website.  I loved being able to keep track of books I had read and books that I intend to read.  At first that is all that I was doing with the site, but I very recently decided to start reviewing the books that I read.  I enjoy reading others reviews before I read a book so why not include my opinion.  Now, I want to take that a step further and blog about it too!  I have discovered several authors that I love and I will take time to blog about them individually. 

My other passion is taking pictures, so don’t be surprised when you see pics pop up in my blog.  I don’t have much time to take pics these days, but the desire to does not go away. 

I look forward to sharing my book experiences, and the occasional photo, with everyone that may run across my blog.  So….here goes the beginning!
