It started with a lie. A night of blurred lines between a teacher and a student.
I wasn’t her student, yet it was the single most defining night of my life.
I’ve never been the man she thinks I am.
Most people have no idea about the life I’ve lived or the words that ring true when it comes to me—still waters run deep.
But you’d be hard-pressed to find a coed on the TGU campus who knows otherwise…because I’ve never corrected them.
The clock is ticking down, it’s Fourth and Inches with the ball inside the one-yard line and the focus is on me, The Guy on the Left. I’ve never felt like a football god, inside I’m…just Troy.
It’s time to set the record straight.
For my son, I‘ll find the strength.
In her eyes, I’m determined to gain redemption.
I will have them both, even if I have to take my eye off the ball.
*The Guy on the Left is a stand alone novel in the Underdog Series. This is Troy’s story.

My Review
WALK THE LINE By Harlow Layne
Oh my goodness,Y’ALL! I’m DONE!! Like put a fork in me. Done! Harlow never fails to deliver these perfectly delicious heroes and sassy yet sweet heroines. Every.Single.Time.
I’m talking, they capture my heart if not on the first page, within the first few. This time was no different. Gage Walker and Claire Blake took hold of me page one and didn’t let go.
Hot Cop, Gage Walker can arrest me any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I will resist, but only to make it more fun and so he feels he needs to use force. Lol
Seriously though, he’s awesome. From the moment he met Claire our red headed bombshell damsel in distress, he was hooked. He was drawn to this woman in ways he had never been before and he had no clue why.
There were things going on in his town of Oasis and he felt they threatened her safety, so he would do WHATEVER it took to keep her safe. Will Gage throw away the best thing to ever happen to him if he feels it’s in her best interest? Will Claire forgive him when she finds out what he’s been hiding from her?
Claire Blake first meets her angel in blue when he arrives at the scene of her horrible traffic accident. While she is waiting for crews to get her out of her car he’s on “panic duty” and in charge of keeping her talking, alert and calm. She instantly notices how gorgeous this cop is and doesn’t want him to leave her side. Even for a moment. He promises he won’t.
When she gets out of the hospital two days later and he gives her a ride home, he notices two things right off the bat. Her place is a dangerous crap hole, and it’s going to be too hard for her at this point to go home alone, so he offers up his place. There is super intense Insta-lust/ attraction between Gage and Claire. Being a cop he probably knows some firefighters and that’s good because they are hot enough to ignite any surface that they touch together. Yup, they are that. Freakin.Hot!!
I really love the mystery/suspense/crime storyline Harlow has going on in here and I love even more that it’s going to carry over into Tate’s book. This storyline of Gage and Claire by itself was really good but the mystery/suspense addition made this even better. This was a short book and a quick read, but had plenty of goodness packed in it. The timeline of the when and why’s of how everything went down was perfection!
I can’t wait for Tate’s book and the continuation of Gage and Claire. I can already tell Tate’s character will be so different from his brother and I need more Claire!!
My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
⭐⭐️⭐⭐⭐️-GAGE+CLAIRE=PERFECTION!!This book is just everything I love about Insta-lust/love amazingness. Plus add in hot cops and a heroine that’s a bit sassy and a bombshell redhead! Yes please!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥- They can’t even be around each other without practically combusting. Totally smokin’ hot. GAH! Holy Hot Hades! Fire Extinguisher needed!
🌪Cliffhanger Warning- No Cliffy per se. You get a HFN ending. No glimpses into the future or anything, but promises of much more of them in Tate’s book which is fine by me. I was happy with the way it ended, but hope for full HEA at the end of Tate’s book!

In Peace Lies Havoc, an all-new dark
and emotional romance by USA Today Bestselling author Amo Jones is releasing
November 5th!
Cover Design by Hang Le
Synopsis
My
name is Dove Hendry. Mine is Kingston Axton.
I was captured by darkness. She has always been ours…
They groomed me for Midnight Mayhem. Like a trained possession, weak against
their control. She has been conditioned with our blood for years. She just doesn’t know it
yet…
But Midnight Mayhem was the stained glass that concealed a very dark culture. A culture that she is about to become the center of.
The Brothers of Kiznitch come in fours, and they’re not happy about me being
hustled into their acts. Or are we? Careful, Little Bird. A warning is a warning for a reason…
Mind-tricks.
Stunts.
Deceit. Power.
But there’s something uglier that has been haunting me for years upon years. So
ugly that I have never seen its face. I never had to. I’d hear his whispers
through my internal screams, feel his shadow brush against my nightmares. He
was my the monster that tormented me.
And maybe lived under your bed…
When I started Midnight Mayhem, his presence faded.
His whispers were silenced.
His shadow dissolving without a trace.
I wondered why that was. She didn’t have to wonder for long…
Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal
Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she’s probably doing it
all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin).
She’s a profound work-a-holic, but when she’s not writing, you can find her
chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in
her hand.
