Book #1


New Adult contemporary romance. Due to sexual content and heavy subject matter, this book is intended for mature readers.

“If you’re broken, I’ll fix you…”

I’m only twenty-one and already damaged goods. A slut. A failure. A disappointment to my picture-perfect family as long as I can remember. I called off my wedding to William Bailey, the only man who thought I was worth fixing. A year later, he’s marrying my sister. Unless I ask him not to…

“If you shatter, I’ll find you…”

But now there’s Asher Logan, a broken man who sees the fractures in my façade and doesn’t want to fix me at all. Asher wants me to stop hiding, to stop pretending. Asher wants to break down my walls. But that means letting him see my ugly secrets and forgiving him for his.

With my past weighing down on me, do I want the man who holds me together or the man who gives me permission to break?


This is book one of the New Hope Trilogy.  I gave it 5 stars.  It was a lot of suspense and romance that just kept me intrigued all the way through.  You definitely need to read this series in order to completely understand everything. 

Maggie Thompson is “the example” of the family, the one child that everyone says don’t follow in her footsteps.  She is known as a slut, failure, college dropout.  She is even nicknamed “Lucy.”  When you hear yourself called something for so long, you begin to believe that’s what you are.  Is her heart scarred beyond repair?  Can someone come and pick up all the broken pieces and mend her back together? 

Asher Logan, ideal bad boy and former rock star, has his secrets and past that he is hiding.  He wants to help Maggie tear down those walls around her heart and allow her to open up to him.  But will their pasts collide and prevent their history from allowing them to move forward together? 

Is it easier to be with someone who will help you stay in one piece or someone who will allow you to shatter? 

Let’s just say I am very happy with Maggie’s decision.  She goes through a lot of heartache to get exactly where she should be.  Things work out for her and her man in more ways than one.   After everything she’s been through, will everyone see the real truth?  Has she been the victim or the home wrecker everyone claims she is?  See for yourself and please continue reading because this series is awesome.  

I felt like Nickelback's "Figured You Out" helps explain more about Maggie & her man.  Hope you enjoy it!
Book #2

Cally… 
A sexy smile. Intense blue eyes. A goodness that makes him want to save me from these rumors when no one else would care. I didn't ask for a hero. William Bailey was never supposed to be anything more than a wish, a dream, an unrequited crush. Not for a girl like me--a girl whose fractured family has stolen her chance at a decent life.

William… 
Since the death of my parents, I've always done what’s expected of me, what's "best" for me. Until Cally. The moment her haunted eyes meet mine, the fractured pieces of my heart feel whole again. I don’t just want to save her. I need her to save me.

Stolen chances. Unbroken wishes. Two lonely souls grasping for hope in the darkness. 


**This novella takes place seven years before the events in WISH I MAY and shows William and Cally falling in love for the first time. It can be read before or after WISH I MAY or on its own.**

**Contains sexual content and adult language and situations. Intended for mature readers.**




This novella is 1.5 in the New Hope Trilogy Series.  I gave it 4 stars.  It takes place 7 years prior to Wish I May (Book #3).  It must be read in order to understand the series of events that takes place and catches you up to speed with the town of New Hope and all their drama. 

Cally is a young girl that had a mom with a bad reputation.  Is she trying to prove she is not like her or live in her footsteps?  Will William Bailey be her saving grace? 

William Bailey is the hottie on campus, with money and a future any girl wants to find themselves involved with.  Will Cally be what’s best for William or will he do what’s always been expected of him and be with a nice rich girl?  
Book#3
New adult romance from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Unbreak Me. Due to sexual content and heavy subject matter, this book is intended for mature readers. 
~ ~ ~ 
Nothing about her says cute. Everything about her says sex. And mine. 

I never thought I'd see her again. Didn't think I wanted to. But the moment Cally Fisher returns to New Hope, I know I could forgive her the most unthinkable secret, if only she would tell me. 

This time, I'm fighting for her. 

After seven years. After breaking his heart and dismissing my own, I'm still very much his. 

I never intended to return home, but to help my sisters, I'll confront my past...and William Bailey, the man whose eyes remind me of the girl I was, the things I've done, and the future I've lost. This would all be easier if William hated me. But he wants to be in my life, my secrets be damned. 

If he learns the truth, it will destroy him.







This is book #3 in the New Hope Trilogy Series.  You must read this series in order.  I gave it 5 stars.  I hope the music I’ve chosen helps you to understand the story where words just aren’t enough to describe this wonderful story.

After 7 years, William Bailey sees Cally Fisher and is he still just in love as he was back then?  Did she walk into his life at the perfect time? 

Cally Fisher never intended to come back to New Hope, but she will do anything to help her sisters.  Will William be able to forgive Cally for her past or not be able to forgive her for what she did to him 7 years ago? 

Cally’s love for her sisters is unconditional and she would do anything for them.  Does that mean following in her mother’s footsteps?  Offering sexual favors for money?  Will honest work pay the bills? 

How much of a fight is William willing to go through for Cally?  Tracking her down across the county?  Having her whole family live with him?  A little bit of Strawberry Wine brings back a lot of memories.  Will they rekindle that first love that can never be forgotten or will they both go their separate ways after seeing each other?

New York Times and USA Today bestselling romance author Lexi Ryan’s novels have been described as intense, emotional, and wickedly sexy. A former college professor, she now writes full-time from her home in Indiana, where she lives with her husband, two children, and a neurotic dog. Find her on Facebook or Twitter to chat about books, TV, and her children’s latest antics.
