When It Comes to You by Melissa Toppen

Title: When it Comes to You

Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: Second Chance Romance (standalone)

Release Date: August 27, 2021

Eight years ago I ran. I ran from my parents. I ran from my pain. I ran from him…

I never wanted to go back. If not for my best friend’s wedding, I likely never would have.

The plan was simple. Get in. Get out. Easy as that.

Only I should have known nothing is ever that simple.

Especially when Westin Carver is involved.

He broke my heart once. Or rather, he completely annihilated it.

And I have no doubt that if given the chance, he’d do it all over again.

But even knowing that, it doesn’t change the way I crave him.

The way my body reacts to him.

The way one touch completely obliterates the wall I built between us.

But when it comes to Westin not everything is as it seems.

They say love is blind. In my case, love is blinding.

Because I should have seen what was coming next…

And I didn’t.

Genre: Cartel Romance

BLURB

Fabrication.

The one word that describes my entire life.

They didn’t want me to know my true identity.

Now, I know why…

Abducted.

Held against my will.

I’ve become a bargaining chip in a blood feud that spans decades.

Mateo Rivera is the one calling the shots.

His father’s death put him in charge.

Now he holds all the power.

I should have known that he would ruin me the moment I laid eyes on him.

And he did.

He introduced me to a whole new world.

One filled with danger and desire.

I wasn’t just his prisoner.

I was his prize.

But as the saying goes, if you lie with the devil, you’ll wake in hell.

And now all that’s left is for me to burn.

The Way Back by Melissa Toppen

Title: The Way Back

Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 23, 2021

BLURB

Time heals all wounds…

That’s what they say anyway.

But I believe some wounds never actually heal.

Like the hole left in my heart where Jake used to be.

The pain a permanent reminder of what I had, and what I lost.

A piece of me died with him that day.

A part of myself I thought I’d never get back.

But then he happened.

Zayne…

Unexpected and exciting, he’s everything I shouldn’t want and yet somehow, exactly what I need.

He challenges me in a way I’ve never been challenged.

He makes me see the person I used to be- the happy carefree girl with her whole life ahead of her.

It doesn’t matter that he’s older than me, or that he’s my brother’s closest friend.

All that matters is how he makes me feel…

Alive.

*The Way Back was originally released in 2014 as the Two Hearts Duet.

All the Pretty Lies by Melissa Toppen

Title: All the Pretty Lies

Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: Fake Relationship/High School Romance

Release Date: February 12, 2021

BLURB

Sham.

Fraud.

Hoax.

All words that describe my relationship with Callum Hanson.

It didn’t start out that way.

We used to be friends.

That is until high school, when Callum decided he was too cool to be seen with his less than popular next-door neighbor.

So, imagine my surprise when out of the blue, after nearly four years of pretending like I don’t exist, he offers to swoop in and save the day by promising to help me catch the eye of the boy I’ve been pining after for nearly two years.

The only catch…

I have to lie. To everyone.

Pretending to be his girlfriend turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would. I was surprised by how well I fit into his world, and how well he fit into mine.

Before long though, the lines between fake and real started to blur. I began to see Callum as more than just Norwood High’s star football player and manwhore extraordinaire. And the more time I spent with him, the more I wanted it all to be real.

But that’s the problem with telling lies. No matter how pretty they sound, at the end of the day they’re still lies.

I just wish someone would explain that to my heart.

*All the Pretty Lies is a complete standalone romance.

"Just because we're pretending doesn't mean we can't have a little fun along the way."

5 Just Friends Stars!!!  Cute, sweet, and everything I needed today!

Callum is the hottie next door, super popular, and could have any girl he wanted.  Poppy is the quiet girl next door, who isn't popular and definitely doesn't have boys falling all over her.  Callum and Poppy used to be best friends as kids, but high school happened and they went their separate ways... politics of high school you know.  They go on their senior trip where they execute a pact and they both decide to start up a fake relationship.  What they didn't expect was for feelings and real-life to get in the way...

Melissa Toppen is definitely one of my go-to authors and this book is definitely at the top of my favorites that's she's written!  I loved the development of Callum and Poppy's relationship.  It's sweet and super fun to read.  There's never a dull moment and you'll catch yourself falling for these two as well!

Poison & Wine by Melissa Toppen

Title: Poison & Wine

Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: Second Chance Romance

Release Date: December 11, 2020

BLURB

It’s funny how differently we view life when we’re young. 

Everything feels possible- limitless. 

If only things could stay that way forever. 

Then maybe life wouldn’t be so complicated. 

Maybe Jace would still be the same ten-year-old boy I fell in love with. 

Maybe I’d still be that same girl too. 

The girl who believed that there wasn’t anything we couldn’t overcome. 

But I’m not that girl anymore. 

Time has beaten me down, broken me, taken everything from me. 

And it’s taken even more from Jace. 

I naively believed that I could save him­… 

From his dad. From his anger. From his addiction. 

And I nearly died trying. 

It’s taken me four years to rebuild my life. 

To piece my shattered heart back together. 

But it all goes up in flames the moment I find myself face to face with the one person I never thought I’d see again. 

He’s determined to prove he’s changed. 

I’m terrified to let him try. 

Because no matter how sweet it tastes, with Jace Matthews you never truly know if what you’re drinking is poison or wine, until it’s already too late.

5 Break My Heart Stars!!!  Melissa takes a difficult subject and tells it with so much clarity.  Amazing book!

Jace & Oakley have been in love since they were children and they are just trying to get through life, so that they can get out of their town and be together.  Unfortunately Jace's addictions just couldn't keep their relationship together.  But after going to rehab and building himself back up after 4 years, he's ready to win his girl back.  But is Oakley ready to let the man back in her life?

Melissa took a difficult subject and made it so beautiful.  Coming from someone who lost someone very close to me to addiction, I felt for Oakley... it's hard watching someone you love destroy themselves.  I loved the power and dynamic relationship between these two.  This book definitely has it's tough moments, but it's so beautifully told!!
