Love, Just In Natalie Murray

    

 Description:

Sydney TV news reporter Josie Larsen is approaching thirty and coming dangerously close to failing at life. Lost in a vortex of other people's career milestones, engagement parties and baby showers, Josie is perennially single, abandoned by her globetrotting family, and invisible to her boss - except for the one time he tuned in while she was mid-panic-attack on live TV. As punishment, Josie is shipped off to cover another reporter's six-month leave at a regional bureau in Newcastle. 

But Josie has more waiting for her in Newcastle than yawn-inducing stories about bicycle lane protests. The city is also the domain of Zac Jameson – her best friend since high school. This should be a happy turn of events, but Zac has barely spoken to Josie for the past two years. Not since a tragic event caused him to leave Sydney to try and cope with his grief. 

Now thrown back into each other's lives, Josie and Zac have to navigate their neglected friendship and secret attraction to each other while struggling with their careers and mental health. 

My Review:

This book was not for me. I will start off saying I have never read anything by this author so I was excited to check this book out. However the way the story was told was just to much, There are 44 chapters and and Epilogue in the book every other chapter is in the past it jumps around I found this to be distracting not always easy to keep up with, and yes the chapters are labeled but still found this too be annoying. I wish the author would have either picked the past or the present but not try and squeeze both into the story this way. For grown adult I found Josie acting like a young girl in high school or early college years. I found Zac standoffish and just overall annoyed at Josie no matter what she did for most of the story. The story is told from Josie's point of view. Overall like I stated this book was not for me and I really struggled with even finishing it.

Description:
Maya Goodwin doesn't believe in holding back. Ever. As a cop, she never hesitated to throw herself into harm's way to save someone. Even after an injury on the job forces her to retire, she's not afraid to keep risking it all to get the life she wants. With a new career teaching martial arts to kids already underway, she's looking forward to the future - and taking a chance on the unbelievably hot Dr. Alex Nolan.

Maya - daring and spontaneous - is the exact opposite of what Alex always thought he wanted. But when a nine-year-old daughter he never knew existed shows up on his doorstep, Maya is the one who helps them hold it together. With love on the line, will the guy who's always played it safe be willing to take the biggest risk of all?

My thoughts on the book:

Maya is take life by the horns and run with it no holds bar. Alex is a cautious type of guy everything planned and calculated, everything for a purpose but he has his reasons and he needs to keep Maya away because it's for the best for both of their sakes Alex will stop at nothing to protect those he cares for and that includes someone he just found. These two seem to walking on egg shells which doesn't fit either but can they set it all aside and find a balance that works?

There is a part in the book that is not for the faint of heat, but you know its coming and it can be skipped over. I was not a fan of this book I feel like at first it was all over the place one minute it was on one subject and then it seemed like opps need to get back to the story line. It seemed to me as the beginning the the end were good but in the middle was questionable. There were some strong language and adult scenes through out the book. I felt like the storyline was super fun to follow and I really enjoyed reading Charli's story her spunk and her personality totally seem to make the story. 

This book may be right for the right person just wasn't for me.
