Thursday Nights by Lisa N. Paul
“I intend to f*ck you tonight, Janie. I intend to f*ck you very well. I am going to make you come in every way
imaginable.” – Max DeLucca
“Touch me, Max,” she begged. “I need your hands on my skin. I need you
everywhere.” – Janie Silver
Blurb
Pain can
leave even the strongest of people weak and hollow. But when fate brings two
weak souls together, will the love they find mend the fragments that are barely
holding them together, or will the weight of their past finally cause them to
crumble? Max DeLucca has spent seven years trying to forget the betrayal of his
past. He lives his life from day to day never looking forward and never looking
back. The walls around his heart keep anyone from getting too close and prevent
him from feeling too much…until he meets her. Her entire life, Janie Silver
searched for the kind of love that wouldn’t leave her broken and more
importantly, wouldn't leave her behind. She longs for a love that can heal the
wounds of her past and give her the future she knows she deserves. She thought
she was looking for something that just didn’t exist…until she meets him.
Danny’s on Main is where their story begins. A neighborhood bar where strangers
become friends, friends become family and some … become lovers … it all started
on Thursday Nights.

Review
I really liked this book. A first
effort by Lisa N. Paul and absolutely a worthy read. One interesting thing here is that we usually
don’t find out what changed/ruined the male leads life until halfway through a
story. Not this time. You find out at the very beginning why Max’s
heart is completely shut down. Let me
tell you – I like that approach. Max is
a bartender at a bar that Janie and her BFFLyla hang out every Thursday
night. This bar is not just a hangout;
it’s more like an oasis for Janie and Lyla.
This very interesting cast of characters has become their own nuclear
family and the bonds run deep. They are
all in a way broken but in and with each other they are whole. Does that make sense? You’ll understand when you read Thursday
Nights. Max and Janie’s friendship has
been developing into something else though neither one of them wants to admit
it. Until one fateful night when Lyla
manipulates them into doing what they both want to do - GIVE IN! I mean really by that time it is blatantly
obvious to everyone in the circle that these two are hot for each other. Unfortunately, neither one of them is
prepared for the intensity of what they are both feeling. Max and Janie each have very different
reactions and that here comes the angst.
If you know me, you know that I LOVE ANGST!
Janie is
open to what she is feeling but Max just won’t budge. He can’t accept that Janie is the real deal
and turns away from her. Man I wanted to
smack the business out of Max! Janie
tries to move on with a “nice” guy. I
don’t want to give anything away but the “nice” guy didn’t used to be so
nice. An interesting plot twist that adds
a new angle to the story.
Did I mention hot sex? Oh yea,
there is enough of that to keep me happy.
Did I mention Max’s best friend Gage?
He’s HAWT and has his sights set on Lyla. Lyla is not going down without a fight but
that’s another story for another day.
Did I mention Kyle? Let me tell
you Kyle is all kinds of messed up in a train wreck sort of way. The friendship between Lyla and Janie is
special and I wish we knew more about it.
Lyla…hmmmm…that my friend is going to be a heck of a read. I want more.
More of the background of Janie & Max. More of how their friendship developed. More about Ashley and Ryan. More about all of them actually. According to Lisa N. Paul – we are getting
more! Three more books to be exact. I for one am looking forward to it. This is a great first effort. Did I say I want more? LOL yes…yes I believe I did. :-)

I can't wait for you to meet my "friends" in the Charistown

will too.
Some fun
facts about me....If I could only have one food for the rest of my life - it
would be french fries! I love them! I also love Godiva Raspberry Truffles. Ok,
enough about me.
I hope to
hear from you soon, Lisa.
