Need You For Alway by Marina Adair (October 13th): Emerson and Dax have known each other forever, having lived in the same small California town for most of their lives. When attending a mutual wedding, they hooked up, spending an enjoyable night having some pretty awesome sex, but that was supposed to be it. Dax had to return to the Middle East and Emerson had to stay in town to take care of her father and sister. Then, Dax came home and made sure that Emerson knew she was the one that got away. I really enjoyed this book, although I took issue at the depiction of Emerson's mother's ALS. 4 Stars

As a matter of fact, that trilogy was part of the first round of books I purchased when I got my first kindle for my 24th birthday (I never actually read it after buying the digital version; I guess I just needed to know that I could read them if I wanted.
The first book of the trilogy, Daring to Dream, was released in 1996 when I was just 10 years old and more concerned with passing math (I did, but not without many a night of struggling to remember what the E in PEMDAS meant) than I was with the goings on of fictional characters inside the pages of a book. In fact, if I read at all during that time period it was to get a free pan pizza through Pizza Hut and the Book It! program. I've mentioned this a few times before, but I act…
