BLURB:

Arrochar Adair has loved her brother's ex-bodyguard and best friend, Mac Galbraith, for years. Once upon a time, she was too young for him, but now that she's a mature woman in her thirties, Arro can see no issue with their difference in age. Yet something deeper, a problem much more difficult to surmount, is keeping them apart.

Mac Galbraith remembers clearly the night Arro became everything to him, no longer just his best friend and boss's younger sister. However, having made many mistakes over the years, there is one mistake Mac is determined not to make: to believe that he is worthy of Arrochar Adair. Allowing them to grow closer during his daughter, Robyn's, return has proven his undoing. And when Arro forces the subject of their relationship, his response pushes her away. He just never meant for it to destroy them completely.

Devastated by Mac's final rejection, Arro is determined to move on without him in her life, though he seems intent on staying put. And when the Adair family face a new threat, one that may have ties to Mac's past, Arro can't seem to be rid of the man. In fact, Mac will do anything to protect her.

But with so much hurt between them, will Arro let Mac close enough to guard her from their enemy... before it's too late?

REVIEW:

I've been waiting for the story on Mac and Arrochar, in the prior two books, Young has hinted at their connect or relationship and I was not disappointed. Each character in the Adair family has fallen for someone connected to their partner, first the daughter of Mac, then Mac's daughters half sister and now Mac. Its one interesting family dynamics but the love is so real and so deep.

Always You follows Arrochar, the only girl in the Adair family and beloved sister to all her brothers. She is also a forest engineer and one of the best on the job. When her bosses assistant starts giving her bad vibes it adds to the stress of her life, but even more so when she starts receiving threats similar to her brothers from on ongoing case. Now her family is determined to keep her safe and figure out who is behind the threats and Mac the man who stole her heart and broke it is constantly there protecting her. Even though he wants to keep her at arms length because she is his bosses sister, his heart and hers are not waiting them to be separated.

The story shows glimpses of the past and way Mac and Arrochar relationship is so strained. They both have this undeniable connection but Mac has issues with his past that keeps him from Arrochar and it caused something to break in Arrochar. Adding to the mystery of who is behind the threats, it puts these two into danger. The past couples are of course there as support, but we get to see how things are progressing in their relationships as well.

In the end I love this series, there is always suspense and always steamy moments, but the characters are wonderfully done and Young always knows how to draw her readers in. I can't wait to see which Adair is next .

BLURB:

What happens in Vegas...?

I don't take anything too seriously.

Not the career that's brought me fame and fortune, or the never ending string of women that fill my bed, and definitely not myself.

​ But life has a way of turning on a dime.

​ The party is over.

All the jokes have been told.

One beautiful face blurs with the next beautiful body and all I feel is...empty.

​ Until her.

​ The sexy complication too intelligent to ignore and too complicated to keep.

​ Jessica Johnson isn't supposed to be in my world but now that she is, I plan to make sure she enjoys the ride.

​ So, what happens in Vegas...?

Boundaries are crossed.

REVIEW:

This is my first book by author M. Jay Granberry as well as first introduction to the Sin City Tales. This was an emotional rollercoaster, a forbidden romance with age gap, family issues and two people who just connect but were not prepared for what is brought them.


Daniel pretty much won me over, my heart broke for this carefree fun loving man who deeply loved his family, especially his touchstone, his grandmother. His grandmother is ill and slowly fading, he feels like he's let his family down in a way as well as his grandmother. Seeing her not knowing who he is breaks a piece of him. Every scene with his family and with his grandmother just turned me into an emotional wreck. Granberry knows how to kick up emotional connection with her character and hit all the feels. Jessica has family issues too, coming from a wealthy family, her brother dating Daniel's lead signer in the band, as well as the age gap, these two had a lot against them in a way. She is sweet and gets Daniel, sees the true him. Its more of a slow burn and sneaking around, but when these two are together its fire.


Overall the romance is off the charts, the family story for Daniel was the strength and the bands connection and support is what pulled this story along. I may have wished I read the other stories prior, especially Sins and Jakes story. I just have to note, Jake is like all alpha hulk sexy and I'm so going to have to read about him and Sin. I was a little lost at times and had to go back and see if I missed something, pieces of the plot got left behind and I didn't get a resolution to some. But it didn't diminish the point of the story, Daniel and Jessica, how these two were brought together and helped each other in ways they didn't know they needed.

Meet M. Jay Granberry


M. Jay Granberry is first and foremost an insatiable reader.

Among her favorite things are classic fairytales, smutty books where characters have heart, old lady sweaters (preferably chunky knit), gift baskets (giving not receiving), and charcuterie trays (green olives, smoked cheese, and Genoa salami).

M. Jay earned a degree in words and stories, and after fifteen plus years of doing everything other than writing, she penned her first novel.

​She is a true Las Vegas native, the one in Nevada not New Mexico, and to answer the most frequently asked questions about growing up in Sin City...

No, she doesn't live in a hotel.

No, she has never been a stripper although she does know some.

Prostitution is absolutely illegal in Clark County (Las Vegas).

And what happens in Vegas does indeed stay in Vegas.
