Excerpt

Once the last two fans left, the guys walked toward the door, eager to get ready to take the stage. 
“Treyton,” I called with conviction in my tone. 
The guys all mumbled as they walked out of the room with Trey trailing behind them. 
Son of a bitch. 
I dragged in a deep breath, then stormed out of the room, stalking backstage where everyone grabbed food or drinks. I walked right up to Trey whose back was to me and stepped in front of him. “You heard me.” 
His brows squished together. 
“You’re acting like a child. Act like a man.” 
He grabbed my arm roughly and pulled me out of the room and into a hallway, slamming the door behind us. He walked into me so I needed to step back, right into the wall. He caged me in, his hands pressing to the wall above my head. And just like he had the other night on his bus, he slanted his head so our faces were close. “Fuck me?” he asked, questioning my words. 
I swallowed hard. Having him that close was daunting, even if I was pissed at him. I remained focused and angry. Because I was. How dare he ignore me? 
He shifted his hips, his erection pressing into my stomach. “Does a child feel like this?” 
Though the intrusion sent zingers through me, I couldn’t let that distract me. “Stop.” 
“Stop what?” 
“Stop using your body to try to make me lose focus.” 
He smirked, an evil glint in his eyes. “Is that what I do to you?” 
“No, you piss me off.”

Building Bridges Review





Title: Building Bridges
Series: Bridges Brothers #1
Author: Lia Fairchild
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2020



Blurb

Former soldier Logan Bridges never imagined he would go from serving his country to helping raise a house full of children after a devastating family loss.

Dealing with his rowdy siblings and cousins proves to be almost as treacherous as the battlefields he left behind. And though he’s committed to making it work, he soon finds he’s in over his head.

Until someone from Logan’s past, steps in to help.

Mollie has always been independent, but finds herself growing attached to the family, including Logan, and discovering there’s more to life than working and solitude.

Logan and Mollie quickly form a strong bond, and when attraction brings them closer, they agree getting involved wouldn’t be good for the children. But when they both struggle to keep the blurry line of friendship between them, Mollie won’t take that step unless Logan can open up and face his painful past.

Series info:
The Bridges Brothers series follows four brothers as they attempt to navigate life and love after a tragic family loss. Each book can be read as a standalone but is more enjoyable read in order.

Excerpt

Before I can turn around, I feel him at my back and a chill creeps up my neck. His hands grip my arms and his hard chest pressing against my shoulders feels like the safest place on Earth. He leans his head down and puts his lips at my ear. “I wish you didn’t have to leave.”
My heart skips a beat and then thrums wildly. There’s no way out of visiting my parents at this point. “Me too. But we still have a little time together. Thanksgiv—” I scoff when I realize my assumption.
“Of course, I want to spend Thanksgiving with you.”
I grin, though he can’t see it. “I have to admit…it will be tough being away.”
He runs his hands down my arms before slipping one around my middle. “How long?”
“I’ll probably be there a couple weeks, home a little after Christmas maybe.”
I try not to flinch when his hand slides beneath the hem of my sweater and skates across my bare skin. “I can wait, Mollie. If that’s what you want.”
I don’t want to wait, but I can’t get any words out.
“You said we should go slow. Get to know each other. Be open.” He brushes my hair to the side, exposing my neck. “I may not know everything about you, Mollie. But I know you. I know your heart and your will and your determination…and your vulnerability.” He places soft kisses at the top of my shoulder, searing my skin. In between kisses, his voice is velvet. “I’m not sure how it happened, but I feel like I’ve known you my whole life.”
I wrap my arm around his neck and let out a soft sigh. “I want you to know it all.” Turning my head to the side, I part my lips, calling his to mine. “To have it all.”
He wastes no time joining our mouths and stealing my breath with his warmth. A warmth that quickly turns to fire as we taste each other with soft slow nudges and nips.
Dizzy with need, I pull back to look in his eyes, breathing heavily. His hand cups my chin, keeping my face, my lips, close to his. “I might have some broken pieces that aren’t fully repaired…and I might have some blank spaces I can’t remember…but the rest is all yours.” He kisses me once, gently. “If you’ll have me.”





Review

This was my first story by Fairchild and she did not disappoint. Building Bridges is the first book in Fairchild's newest series Bridges Brothers. It's the perfect Contemporary Military Romance and will pull on those heartstrings as it has all the feels. At least it did for me. I love each and every character in this story and can't wait for more!

Logan served his country and never could have imagined he would be helping raise a house full of children. He's the second oldest of the four brothers. As Logan is thrown into this new life he has to deal with his own demons in the form of PTSD. He finds help in someone very unexpected.

Mollie and Logan have a past but watching them go through such an unimaginable loss she just couldn't handle. She's got a sassy independence that's for sure. Mollie just fits so perfectly into the Bridges family. Like she should have always been there.

HEA for sure with this one even if it was a long hard road to get there.

Excerpt

“You still smell the same, you know. I hate you most days, but I can’t forget how fucking amazing you smelled.” I brush back her hair with my fingertips, and I can’t miss the small tremor that runs through her body. I affect her. This is good, and I plan to use this to my advantage. “Or how good you looked underneath me.” Her chestnut hair still shines like I remember, and I can easily visualize how it looks twisted around my fingers. How her cheeks heated up to a nice pink after I made her come... and don't get me started on her legs looking like sex in these heels and how good they would look wrapped around my neck. Fuck. I'm kidding myself if I say she doesn't affect me and doesn't make my dick hard at the sight of her. Snap out of it Jaxson. Now isn't the time. "Tell me I actually meant nothing to you, and I'll go away."

Shutout Release


Shutout by Jami Davenport is now available!
Second chance hockey romance 

 



Easton: 
Hockey isn't forever. 
The money, excitement, and glory of being a professional hockey player meant more to me than a family, a home, and a forever. Another man has my forever, and I have hockey. I thought making the big bucks and playing against the best in the world would feel better than this. Instead, I'm empty and hollow, like a big piece of my heart was hacked off. There's something missing. Something big. Something I can never get back. 

Caroline: 
I loved him, but he wasn't the love of my life. 
My husband died too young, too suddenly, too tragically. I was unprepared with no education, no job skills, and no future plans. When a DNA test reveals my twins' true parentage, I have no choice but to do the right thing. I turn to the one man who'd turned his back on me all those years ago. 

 I'd been shutout from his life, and I'd shut him out from mine. Can two strangers make a family? Do we have what it takes to forgive and move on?
