Vivienne's Guilt by Heather Orgeron


Vivienne's Guilt

by Heather Orgeron

 Released July 12, 2016




Blurb:

Vivienne Guilt...
Like a cancer, it festers, slowly stealing your life bit by painful bit.
What do you do when you have betrayed the love of your life but he is no longer there to grant you forgiveness? How do you carry the weight of your gravest mistake knowing there is no way to atone for it?
I've made a terrible choice–one that can't be undone.
Hiding this secret is eating me alive.
But if it ever came out?
If it were ever discovered?
It would destroy everything.

Reid
They say you always want what you can't have.
From the moment I laid eyes on Vivienne Parker, I knew I was fighting a losing battle. I want to believe that I'm better than this–that I wouldn't cross that line–but deep down, I know if I were ever given a chance, there's no way in hell I'd refuse.
She's my uncle's wife, so why does it feel as if she is mine?

My Review:

Wow...you need a helmet for this book!!! I was so surprised through most of it that I thought I was going to get whiplash! As a young mom married to a man that is ill...I worry about this type of thing...my husband dying. Me having to live without him. Ugh...so I could totally relate to Vivienne, I mean, how does one live and survive without their other half?



What I like about this book is you see a very (mostly) real struggle. There are some things that I just can’t see happening but COULD happen. What I took out of this book was a love for family and that they all come in different shapes and forms.



This book is not easy and the author took a hard way. But I think it might be a real way for a lot of people. Orgeron touched on some pretty serious topics like addiction and depression. This is a deep read and so completely different...it isn’t what you think it will be. So for me, I was left satisfied and a little shell-shocked!!



I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Blurb:

Competition is healthy. Except Carrington Carter can’t ever seem to win…

Carrington has never been good enough, between competing with the ghost of a sister she never met and a brother who can do no wrong in their parents’ eyes. She’s convinced finishing nursing school will finally make her parents proud, until she finds out she didn’t pass her boards. Now she needs money, more than she’d make working as a nurse’s aide.

A secret life of late nights and fast cash may be the only way to keep the news of her most recent failure from her parents…

While driving to the hospital, she spots a gentlemen’s club, the Thirsty Beaver, and decides to apply for a job as a dancer. She’s danced her whole life—how hard could it be? The only problem is it’ll have to be a secret because if her parents found out, it’d be one more thing for them to be disappointed with her about.

David “Damien” Michaels loves his job with the DEA. Posing as a bouncer at a strip club is just another assignment…

Damien lives the single life, scratching his itch one woman at a time, while jumping his career up the ladder. The fact-finding case at the Thirsty Beaver goes perfectly until one gorgeous redhead complicates everything. She doesn’t belong there, and he knows it.

One look leaves him mesmerized, and he realizes she’s gotten under his skin. He knows he should stay away from her. It could jeopardize her safety and his case, but when he can’t convince her to leave the club…rules no longer apply.

Will the truth set them free, or will Carrington and Damien finally be consumed by their…

Secret Love?

What Others Are Saying:


"Well, she did it again! I shouldn't be surprised, really. I mean, I have yet to read an Evan Grace book I didn't like. Secret Love is no exception and in fact it's now in the running for my favorite book of 2016!!" ~Reviews From The Heart

Excerpt:

“I can start in two weeks. I just need to give my current job notice.”
“Okay, let’s have you come in two weeks from Thursday. You’ll work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. You get paid weekly, and of course you get to keep your tips. Any questions?”
“Um, no, I don’t think so. I appreciate you giving me the job. I promise I’ll do great.”
She smiles, and again the way she looks at me makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe she’s a lesbian, and that’s cool if she is, but I’m not into girls. Oh sure, I’ve kissed one once or twice, but it’s just not my thing.
Before I leave, she takes me into the dressing room, where a couple of girls are sitting in front of mirrors that line the wall. They turn and look at me and then quickly dismiss me.
Bridgette shows me my locker and hands me the padlock with the combination. I hang my uniform, if the two little scraps of material could be called that, inside and shut and lock it. With a wave, I head out into the parking lot and climb into my car. Now I just need to go to work and tell them that I am dropping down to prn status, which means as needed and if I’m available, and I’ll still keep my seniority.
As I make my way toward Charleston, I hope that the extra money I’ll make will be enough. If not, hopefully a spot will open up for a dancer sooner rather than later.
***
I shove everything I’ll need for the club into my bag: some makeup, makeup remover, toothbrush, and deodorant. On top of that, I throw in two pair of heels and my hair products. In preparation for my new job, I spent this past week getting my hair done and a mani and pedi. I even got spray tanned and waxed. Hopefully, the tips will be good. Otherwise I may not have enough to cover my portion of the bills for the apartment.
Bridgette called me yesterday to confirm I was still coming. Then she told me that I should get there early enough to get ready and be on the floor by eight. Thirsty Beaver can’t possibly be busy that early, but maybe Bridgette wants me to come so early so they can show me the ropes. There’s a knock at the door while I zip up my bag. I hear the door open and close.

Author Bio:

A Midwesterner and self-proclaimed nerd, Evan has been an avid reader most of her life, but five years ago got bit by the writing bug, and it quickly became her addiction, passion and therapy. When the voices in her head give it a rest, she can always be found with her e-reader in her hand. Some of her favorites include, Shayla Black, Jaci Burton, Madeline Sheehan and Jamie Mcguire. Evan finds a lot of her inspiration in music, so if you see her wearing her headphones you know she means business and is in the zone.

MY REVIEW:

This book completely ROCKED! Secret Love has a little bit of everything you could ask for in a book… the secretive romance, a secret identity, a secret life...and a love story, Oh and I forgot the suspense! I love a good romance with some suspense thrown in.

This was my first Evan Grace book but it won’t be my last. I do wish I had realized that this was a second book. I dislike reading out of order! But, that being said…this was a hot, sexy, and quick. I can tell I loved it when I want more!
