Reader’s Edyn

I always felt like I could do something more than just read. Finally, I have found both a creative outlet and a chance to do something meaningful with my reading. This blog was created in appreciation of and tribute to all of the authors who have brought me joy through their books. These reviews are my way of giving back to authors and providing recognition for the hard work that each one completes every day!

Feature: Beautiful Rivers Series by Jordyn White



**Beautiful Rivers Series by Jordyn White**





Good morning, All! About a week ago, I featured a series by Jordyn White entitled Firework Girls, which I very much enjoyed getting to know. The opportunity came up to feature another series by Ms. White, so, of course, I took it. I hope you all enjoy getting to know more about the series, Beautiful Rivers right along with me. I can’t wait to get started!

**Book 1 ~ BEAUTIFUL MINE**

Love hasn’t been enough to make him commit in the past. Will it be enough now?
I met Connor Rivers in the most unlikely of places—on the Camino pilgrimage in Spain. For three days, we lost ourselves in an impassioned love affair. He made it clear it wouldn’t last, and I accepted it. I went home to California knowing Connor is a restless spirit who can’t be captured by anyone. 
Even me. 
I managed to save myself from falling in love with him the first time. But when we meet again almost a year later, in the wake of his family’s horrible tragedy, everything’s different. 
He’s living in California helping his siblings run their luxurious Rivers Paradise Resort. 
His wanderlust threatens to destroy his family’s fragile stability.
And his power over me is a force I can no longer resist. 
I tried not to fall in love with Connor Rivers, but it’s too late. Now I can only wonder if love is enough. Or if we’re destined for another gut-wrenching goodbye.
BEAUTIFUL MINE is a standalone that kicks off the Beautiful Rivers contemporary romance series. If you like Melanie Harlow, Lauren Blakely, and Staci Hart, you’ll love Jordyn White’s sexy, heartfelt new series.

I’m waiting for the elevator, wondering if I should ask the front desk for restaurant suggestions or just find a place on my own. Then the doors open to reveal someone standing inside.
My lips part in surprise. Connor does a double take, then gives me a slow, slow smile.
Umm.... okay. This is a whole new ballgame now.
“We meet again,” he says, still smiling. My estrogen starts flowing at the sight of that smile and those eyes. I couldn’t stop it now if I tried.  
“Hello again.” I step into the elevator. He looks—and smells—freshly bathed as well and I have a sudden vision of him naked in a tub. God. Between that and the fact that there’s apparently no escaping this guy, I completely forget why I was trying to escape him to start with.
The doors slide closed with a soft thud and the little space grows even smaller. I don’t stand too close, but I certainly would’ve stood farther away if I’d never met him before. The car begins its downward journey and my stomach swoops more than usual.
We start giving each other that wondering look from before. He’s still smiling, and there’s a smile teasing the corners of my mouth too. In spite of being freshly bathed, he didn’t shave. He still has that cute scruff on his jaw.
“You’re staying here, too?” I ask.
He turns toward me a bit and leans one shoulder against the back wall. Oh man. Just like when he turned toward me at the table, this little movement makes things feel more familiar. But this time it’s just us. In this little box. I like it. “I heard this is the best place for the weary Camino pilgrim.”
I adjust slightly so I can lean against the wall as well. I really can’t help it. Because it seems like this is the moment we’ve been building to all along. “That’s what the guidebooks say anyway.”
“Do they?”
“Don’t you have a guidebook?” The car already starts to slow, dammit. I don’t want to walk away this time. I want to linger awhile.
“I’m not the guidebook type,” he answers, as we come to a stop. “I’d rather just ask around. But I think we have more important matters to discuss.”
The elevator dings and the doors open. Neither one of us moves. My heart is thumping in anticipation. “Do we?”
“Yes. You’re about to go your way and I’m about to go mine, but clearly the universe thinks we need to talk some more.”
Thump, thump, thump. Now it’s my turn to give a slow smile. “The universe, huh?”
“Okay.” He grins. “It’s me. I think we should talk more.”






**Book 2 ~  BEAUTIFUL FALL**


I fell for a man whose heart may never be mine.
When I bought a row of beach cottages to renovate for my family’s luxury resort, I worry my vision won’t live up to the high standards of the Rivers family name. I was worrying about the wrong thing entirely.
Because along with the cottages comes a little problem called Brett Carmichael. Brett freaking Carmichael, historical contractor and son of my nemesis, a woman who mere weeks ago brutally smeared my name through the newspapers. The last thing I want to deal with is that woman’s spawn.
But one reckless moment ignites a dangerous chemistry between us. Brett Carmichael is a force to be reckoned with. I’m helpless to stop him from claiming me, body and heart, but I’m not so sure I can to do the same to him.
It turns out, there’s plenty more in his family history to worry about.
And his heart may not be mine for the taking.

BEAUTIFUL FALL is a standalone in the Beautiful Rivers contemporary romance series. Jordyn White brings you back to the world of the Rivers family with a story full of passion, heart, and longing.






**Book 3 ~ BEAUTIFUL DARK**


His father is dead, and it’s my uncle’s fault. We shouldn't be attracted to each other, but we can't resist.
Mason Reeves is the living embodiment of a family secret too awful to bear. When my cousin invites him to Thanksgiving in the hopes of healing the past, she only creates a new problem.
He shouldn't make my heart flutter. I shouldn’t be entertaining indecent thoughts.
And we definitely shouldn't be exchanging heated glances while my family sits just feet away.
Maybe I shouldn’t reach out to him, but I can’t help myself. He can't help himself either. In fact, he helps himself to every last inch of me.
I do nothing to stop it. I encourage it. I practically beg.
But this was never meant to last. I’ve always known, no matter how much I tried to pretend.
After all, it's not his history that will be our undoing.
It's mine.
BEAUTIFUL DARK a full-length standalone in the Beautiful Rivers contemporary romance series. If you enjoy tales of desire, sacrifice, and hope, you’ll adore this stunning forbidden romance by Jordyn White.
