Trust Again Mona Kasten

Trust Again

Mona Kasten

Dawn was burned once--never again. Her lifelong love, Nate cheated on her with the neighbor Rebecca. She was in love with Nate since she was 14. He was her entire world. After six months of marriage, she comes home early from a father/daughter camping trip to find him having sex with Rebecca in their bed. 
After months of depression and a divorce later, Dawn decided to go to college two hours away at Woodshrill. This is where she rediscovers herself. Dawn has always loved to write and even has a few publications. But no one knows about her love of writing except Nate and her father nor does any of her new friends know what she writes about. Dawn not only doesn't trust herself, but a part of her doesn't trust anyone even her new circle of friends. 

Spencer has never fit in. His whole life, he was always seeking his father's approval. But one devestating experience changes his and entire family's life forever--it's all his fault. The only person he truly trusts is his baby sister Olivia. But that doesn't stop Spence from pursuing Dawn. He fell in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her. He wants to do everything possible to show her how he feels but Dawn has placed Spence in the friendzone. Can Spence find a way to make Dawn see how deeply he feels for her? Can Dawn learn to trust herself and others with her heart?

Side note: this is Book 2 of a three book series. I didn't know that until I went to her website. The novel reads like a standalone. I will definitely be ordering the first and third books.

Gavin has been in the friendzone since shortly after he and Penny participated in a psych study to help out Penny's best friend Ling.

Gavin asked Penny out immediately after the study but Penny needed to focus on her studies and dancing. But a decision Penny made her senior year changed their relationship.
Gavin has always loved Penny even after the decision she made that changed their relationship. Now, the table have turned. It's Gavin's turn to decide whether their relationship can be pursued or if they will forever be stuck in the friendzone with each other even though they both have incedible chemistry together. But horrible timing. Will Penny find that something to fulfill the emptiness in her soul? Will Gavin make the same mistake that Penny did 14 years ago?

Fling Club Review by Tara Brown


Evidently, I am out for revenge or the universe is trying to tell me something because this is the third novel I've read that focuses on revenge. Fling Club is a secret society organized by Caitlyn Landry, the queen bee of the Hamptons. Her best friend-slash-frenemy Cherry Kennedy was always Cait's yes-man.The duo ran the secret and manipulative club that has 10 rules to live by for the summer flings. Cherry blindly followed Cait with these rules.  Until Cait committed the ultimate betrayal. Now, Cherry wants revenge in the form of destroying the club that Cait and Cherry built. Cherry couldn't enact her revenge alone. She has her older brother, Andy and baby sister, Ella to help her. The plan is to get Cait to break all of her Fling Club rules. 
Ashley Jardine is a MIT robotics student who needs a summer job. His new "job" is to help the Kennedy children force Cait to break all ten of her rules. Ashley doesn't have a problem with manipulating the ice queen but he does fall for naive, Cherry. 
Brown fills the novel with suspense, manipulation, sex, and self-awakening.
