You & Me

Jonathan Kelly had planned for a week of fun with the boys before heading back to Afghanistan. He never expected to fall in love.
Naturally beautiful, and funny, Emily wasn’t like any woman he had ever known. She brought a smile to the face of everyone that met her. To Jonathan, she was perfect. Pure light. He knew the day he met her that he had met the only woman he would ever love.
Emily Jacobs wasn’t prepared for Jonathan to walk into her life. She wasn’t ready to have this man rock her to her core when nearly every other man in her past had been such a disappointment. The instant connection she felt with this handsome, kind Marine was unlike anything she had ever experienced.
Emily wants nothing more than to give herself to him, but can she get past the barrier that could keep them apart?
She has a secret so big that she’s sure it will shatter everything they have together; this rare connection that they’ve forged in just one short week.
So Emily is left with one of the biggest decisions of her life.
Trust him or walk away?

More: A You & Me Novel
by Lisa Shelby
(Book two in the You & Me Series. Can be read as a standalone.)
Mickey Jacobs and Alexandra Stotts have known each other since they were kids. Outwardly, living childhoods full of joy and laughter but privately both experiencing their own kinds of pain and disappointment.
Alex had always been taught what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. The outside world saw her life as idyllic and picture perfect. But of course, things are never what they seem.
After watching his philandering father tear his family apart and break his mother’s heart time and time again, Mick vowed to never cause another person that kind of pain. Keep it simple. No relationships.
But then there was the sweet, exotically beautiful Alex. There was always Alex. With her…things were never simple. She was forbidden fruit. His sister’s friend. Off limits.
Alex was head-over-heels for Mick the moment her twelve-year old eyes landed on him. She knew at this young age that they could never be. Even if he wasn’t her best friend’s brother, he was still Mickey freaking Jacobs. Now, all grown up, Mick is gorgeous, the life of the party and an eternal bachelor. He’ll never be able to give Alex what she needs, and she’s not sure she could risk the pain that giving Mickey Jacobs her heart would surely inflict.
Can Mick and Alex find a way to heal themselves by loving each other?
Can he give her MORE?
More: You & Me Novel

Another outstanding book by Lisa Shelby! Just when you think things can't get any better Mickey comes into your life. You know I thought I fell in love with him and his love for his niece and sister in You & Me but oh no my heart melted even further in More. His protectiveness, His loyalty to his friends and even his silliness brought me to my knees at times.
Mickey the life of the party who doesn't want to settle down may or may not be brought to his knees in More. Alex and Mickey's journey is a rare and unique one. I couldn't put the book down. From page one I was hooked - there were so many emotions that ran through me while reading. It was an emotional ride of why's and trying to understand the reasoning behind Alex and her actions or lack of.
Alex grew up in an unhealthy situation and it has filtered into her adult life in certain ways but after all of her struggles has found a way to overcome them and surge forward as best as she can. Subjects are touched upon that are heartbreaking and you just want to jump into the book and smack a few people but at the end of the day More has a beautiful story of Hope, Love, Faith and Finding Yourself again. All the while a "Sexy Beast" has been helping guide her, give her space and rescue her when needed.
Throughout More you can feel the love and support system that both Alex and even Mickey have. I truly love books that you not only get to know the main players in depth but there friends as well. What I would give to spend a night at the bar with Alex, Cami and Emily - what a blast that would be. Then throw in all of there hunky men and hot damn it would be a party. Lisa Shelby, the world you created is one that I pictured vividly while reading and I can't wait for the next book. More is a true friends to lovers to friends to lovers book. I loved reading their journey through all the ups and downs and in betweens .
More is a must read! I highly recommend you One-Click
and see how Alex and Mickey's story plays out.

Something Just Like This: A You & Me Novel
by Lisa Shelby
(The third and FINAL book in the You & Me series. A series of interconnected standalones.)
I met Liam four years ago at my best friend’s wedding. He was tall, dark, handsome and cocky as hell. The life of the party who had no trouble finding new friends to go home with each night.
Now he’s here in my hometown and a part of my daily life. He’s still just as tall, dark and handsome as he ever was but he has quickly become a friend and confidant.
But if he’s just a friend, then why am I starting to feel the way I do about him? Why do I want to help him escape the pain that has clearly followed him here? Why does the beat of my heart pick up speed every time he touches me?
After 30 years of waiting for The One, could Liam be my fairy tale bliss?
Cami is fierce and loyal, independent and stubborn, sweet and sassy…and damn she’s hot as hell. I tip my hat to the man that finally conquers the fiery little redhead. Although, I can’t imagine there is a man alive worthy of her.
I know that man isn’t me, but I’ll be damned if I don’t wish it were. I’m still fighting old demons and I’ll never be enough for a woman like her, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want her. Every minute of every day my desire for her grows.
When she decides to make it her life’s mission to battle my ghosts and the pain that haunts me, she makes my need for her impossible to ignore. This woman has shaken me from my self-loathing and has brought me back to life. Back to the man I once was. The man I want to be.
Could someone like me be worthy of someone like her? Of something just like this?

Liam has met his match! I love watching hot, sexy men being brought to their knees by cute, sassy, strong willed women.
Well hot damn - Lisa Shelby you made me fall in love with Jonathan in You & Me, then I had to cheat on Jonathan with Mickey in More and now you bring Liam to me. Seriously what is a girl to do? I want them all!
I truly love finding new Author's. I was captivated with Lisa Shelby and her words in book one and two - You & Me and More. The third book Something Just Like This by far is my favorite of all three and didn't disappoint me what-so-ever. I am in total love with everything that is Cami and Liam!!! From page one you could feel the chemistry between the two and it just kept getting better and better as the book progressed.
You know when that time comes in a book when you just want to smack both the people in the head and say "get out of your head and just go for it" - well let me tell you that needed to happen a time or two with Liam and Cami. There were ups and downs but throughout the book you could feel every emotion there was to have. From Liam struggles all the way to Cami and her need to be in control and strong all the time.
Something Just Like This is a must read! Start with book one if you haven't already and escape into the world of Jonathan & Emily (and Ireland), Mickey & Alex and last but not least Liam & Cami. I love the fact that they are all friends and have made there own little family. I can't wait for more from Lisa Shelby!
