#VestedInterest

[melanie-moreland-author]

“Thank you for today, Aiden,” she said, not looking at me. “It was an unexpectedly good day.” I slipped my arm around her and tucked her to my side. As if drawn by an invisible thread, I couldn’t stop touching her. All day, I’d held her hand, kissed her temple, drew her close. And when I looked down at her, she was grinning. “I’m glad. I wanted you to smile. I love it when you smile.” I blew out a breath. “I especially love it when you smile at me.” Maybe it's time to give this damaged, yet loyal hero a revisit

My Review

What a way to wrap up a series! I've fallen in love with several Melanie Moreland couples, and while I still love them all dearly, Nicholas and Mila have a special place in my heart. Not only is their story the final for the Vested Interest: ABC Corp, which makes it bittersweet, but this couple brings all the feels - and they do it without the big 3rd act breakup. They still have their share of things to work through and overcome, and I love how well Melanie Moreland handled the mental health stuff. I say stuff because I don't want to spoil the story, but the seriousness of the topic is handled with complete respect, as well as accuracy. 

I love how totally sweet this couple is, and they have such good chemistry right from the start. Plus, this is a next-generation series, so we get some catch-up time with several past favorites. The story does have its share of seriousness, but true to Melanie Moreland form, we also get some wonderfully well-timed wit and humor, which is always welcome as far as I'm concerned. The whole thing is well-written, and this is a couple I won't soon forget.

This is part of a series, but it can be read as a standalone. Fair warning though,: once you've met these characters, including the secondary ones, you'll be hooked. Found family is one of my favorite tropes, and the BAM world is one big found family.

Reading Nicholas and Mila's journey was all kinds of emotional, and to be honest, I wasn't sure the audio would have the same impact - I love Maxine Mitchell and John Lane, and they are both terrific narrators. That said, I had the voices of these characters in my head, as well as the tone and even the feeling behind the words, and I just wasn't sure it would all come through in the audio. There are a serious amount of feels in this one. I should have known better than to doubt these narrators because they pulled out all the stops. Every bit of emotion, good and bad, comes through loud and clear. Lane and Mitchell took these characters and became them, and I was just as immersed in the audiobook as I was when I read it. So, yes, Nicholas and Mila still hold a special place in my heart, and I'll be revisiting both editions of their story.

Use of Emblem and Insignia on vehicles of private person

I believe it is commonly observed by us all that private vehicles are using Emblem and Stickers Police, Government of India, Advocate, High Court, Supreme Court without any authority to them and the reason is to create “Bhaukal” in the eyes of the public and who so ever they come across or to use it as a shield in criminal activities or to run away from the police. While it is understandable that an official vehicle of the state may impose these stickers, the use of it on private vehicles is doing more harm than good.

The Division Bench of Hon’ble Mr. Chief Justice Sanjay V Gangapurwala J & Hon’ble Mr. Justice P D Audikesavalu of #MadrasHighCourt held that it is the #responsibility of the #Stateauthorities to #ensure that the number plate stickers of the private vehicles are #not in #contravention of the #Rules, #Regulations and #ExecutiveInstructions.

Administrative matter(Motor Vehicle)

Dr. Krithika B v. The Additional Principal Secretary Home Dept. Govt. of Tamil Nadu & 3 others

WP 26317/2023 Before Hon’ble Madras High Court.

Background

The present case is one such case where petitioner-Dr. Krithika B filed a Writ Petition this year before Madra High Court for directing to the Additional Chief Secretary Home Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, Principal Secretary, Transport Authority, Government of Tamil Nadu Additional Chief Secretary, Transport Authority, Government of Tamil Nadu, Commissioner of Police, Chennai to get the the stickers and other artifacts containing “Emblem”, “G”, “Govt of India”, “Government of Tamil Nadu”, “High Court” and “Police” removed from all private vehicles within the jurisdiction of Madras High Court.

The Director General of Police was directed to register, on expiry of the said period of one month and prosecute the offenders by following the procedures as contemplated under law.

The respondents were directed to sensitize the competent authorities/Police officials for securing information regarding misuse of Flags, Emblems, Stickers, Names, etc., and in the event of any violation on the part of the law enforcing officials’ strict actions is to be taken against such officials, for dereliction of duty.

The Director General of Police was directed to instruct the Subordinate Police officials across the State to register cases under the provisions of the Act and Rules, in the event of receiving information from any person and by verifying/investigating the genuinity of the information and complaints.

The Director General of Police, Tamil Nadu was directed to issue appropriate circular/instructions to all the Subordinates/Police officials, within a period of two weeks from the date of uploading of this order on the website of the High Court.

Observation of the Court

The direction given in Writ Petition 14697/2014 would take care of the grievance raised by the petitioner in the present writ petition as well.

Report of the police Department with respect to directions issued in WP 14697/2014: -

“This is a great idea.”

Aiden had jumped up, fist-punched the air, and yelled, “That’s how we do it! BAM!”

It stuck. Our initials, our ideas, our brand. My brothers.

BAM

Three young men meet at university and form a lifelong friendship.

Their pasts dictate the men they are, but their present shapes their future.

What happens when these men meet the one person they are destined to be with? Can they fight their feelings and walk away? Or will they each succumb and learn the sweet agony of love?

𝗕𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗟𝗘𝗬

The leader of the group. He is uptight, formal, and cold. Rigid and set in his ways, always following the same path. Until the day, he stumbles upon her.

Emmy.

She brings with her spontaneity and light. The world she lives in is so different from his, yet he cannot control the draw to her. Nor can he explain the way she makes him feel.

Happy.

Protective.

Loved.

𝗔𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡

Haunted by memories of his past, Aiden plays the part of the happy-go-lucky friend. Always ready with a teasing smile or a joke, he is good at hiding his pain.

Using his impressive physique as a shield, he keeps his past buried beneath his rugged exterior.

Except, one woman sees through his façade.

Her green eyes see too much, even as her body tempts him.

Even as his heart yearns for her.

Cami is determined to make him realize that he is worthy of being loved.

He pushes her away at every turn, yet finds himself unable to keep her at arm’s length.

Who will win this battle of love?

First, let me just say that this one would've been much shorter and had a much different conclusion if I were Sam. I would've leaned more toward running over this cowboy with his own dang truck after the first meeting they had, which wouldn't have gone well for getting romantic. Ha! But I'm not Sam, and obviously, there's a very good reason I'm on this side of the book, and Melanie Moreland is on the other. She definitely knows her stuff when it comes to romance and never fails to wow me with her words.

I do love me some cowboy, and it didn't take much more than a hot minute for me to fall in love with the grumpy Luke Adler, and every time Sam peeled back another layer, I fell a little more. Luke needed Sam's brand of happy in the worst way, and it's all too easy to root for these two. She's also from Moreland's Vested Interest generation, and I enjoyed the little sneaks at some favorite characters from past books.

So, if you're looking for some swoon and some Kindle-melting heat, Sunshine & Sammy is a good bet. Luke says some of the swooniest things even when he does want to be all grumpy and contrary, and he and Sam have terrific chemistry. We do get some angst, but the author tempers those feels with her often hilarious wit and some equally hilarious situations.

Now, combine all of that swoon with the narration of Maxine Mitchell and John Lane. I loved Sammy and Luke when I read them, and Mitchell and Lane give such a great performance. From all the toe-curling, swoony things Luke says to the crazy situations Sammy finds herself in to the steam this pair generates, it all comes through, feels and all, in the narration. So, another terrific combination between Melanie Moreland's words and Maxine Mitchell and John Lane giving voice to the characters.
