The Goodbye Guy Natasha Moore

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

Rachel Bradford is finally living her dream as the star of her own interior design show. But ratings are slipping, and if she wants to save the show, she has to set an episode in the hometown she fled. Worst of all, she’s going to have to work with the cocky bad boy who humiliated her. 

Single dad, Beckett Colburn plans to turn an old fire station into a neighborhood bar. He’s blindsided when he discovers his family made a deal to turn his dream into a reality TV project. He’d rather run into a burning building than work with his childhood nemesis–on camera. 

But it’s not easy with a TV crew in town stirring up trouble, spreading rumors, creating buzz. Not to mention the inconvenient sudden attraction that sparks every time Rachel and Beckett fight.

My thoughts on the book:

I have never read anything by this author, so this is a new series for me. I don’t know what I missed but the others where brought up in this book. I can honestly say I was not really a huge fan of this book it just wasn’t for me. I found the book completely predictable not a whole lot of what’s going to happen next. I like Holly she was a spit fire and did add a whole other element to the story, she was one of my favorite characters in the book. I also liked Davis he seem to be one of the few in the story that had his head on his shoulders and was a good friend to Beckett. I did not like Beckett I found him for a 40 year old very immature and whiny, I guess for me I felt like if you have a child at some point you should have grown up. Rachel was ok she too seem to have problems with her past but she didn’t come off as immature. Overall I really wasn’t a fan of this book. There is adult language and content may not be suitable for all. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.”

A Daughter for the Mountain Firefighter Melinda Curtis

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

A fearless pilot…

Small plane pilot Rachel Quinlan is fearless fighting forest fires, but on the home front it’s a different story. She’s still not completely over her crush on Cole Hudson, love of her older sister Missy’s life, even though he left town over a decade ago. But who has time for crushes? She’s got Missy’s kids to raise and her family’s failing business to run.

The past collides with the present…

An accident brings Hot Shot firefighter Cole back to town where he discovers he’s got responsibilities and enemies he never knew he had. And the one person he thought he could trust – Rachel – is hiding more than one secret about his past.

A traditional, clean romance with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

My thoughts on the book:


I have really enjoyed this series. With each book it seems the author throws in a different twist with the same fire group and that was very much the same with this set of characters,  and I love that each person so far in group has had their story told. I love catching up with the other characters in books past and discovering new characters. My heart truly broke for Rachel she had the world on her shoulders and would stop at nothing for her family. I really liked Jenna and Matt their personality was strong and came off the pages. I hope there is more to come and can’t wait to see who’s next in this fun journey. The author kept a the book a clean read but the characters are faced with some tough topics. This book is so worth the read I could not put it down

Hometown Honey Jessica R Patch

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

Welcome back to Honeyhaven!

The town is gearing up for the bicentennial and all the festivities including the annual Hometown Honey Pageant. Single mom, Zayda Miller has never been a fan of pageants, particularly this one, but she needs cash and if she could pull it off and win, she could use the sweet prize money to help her achieve her dream. With zero talent or skill in the kitchen—why baking pies is part of the pageant is beyond her—she’s off to a pathetic start. When her high school sweetheart, up and coming chef, Stratton Shay returns to town for the grand event, she reluctantly allows him to help her in the kitchen, but they might be cooking up more than pies for the competition. Until they discover they both want the same thing. And for one of them to win, the other will have to lose. 

My thoughts on the book:

What a cute story! I love the characters they are fun and the author has a way as you read about them making you feel like they are your friends and you are just catching up. I loved Zayda’s fighting spirit nothing was going to stop her from her dream of making a better life for her little family. I loved how she kept her head high even with some poor choices she made. I like Stratton even though sometimes I want to punch him and tell him to spit it out. Oh my Crockett he and Scout I know he did her wrong but I hope they work things out they just seem like they belong together. This book is a good clean read and suitable for all. Super quick read and it was well worth it.

How Sweet It Is Robin Lee Hatcher

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

He lost his brother. She lost her dream. Together, they might find what they’re really looking for.

Holly Stanford is doing the best she can with the restaurant she inherited from her late uncle. But after her fiancé abandons her and the business, Holly regrets having given up her dream of becoming a pastry chef. Now a few bad financial decisions might cost her everything, including her hope for the future.

Jed Henning has done well with his new company despite his prodigal brother’s behavior. When Jed‘s father, the controlling member of the board of directors, temporarily suspends operations until his sons work out their differences, Jed resentfully chases his brother, Chris, to Boise. There Jed rents a basement apartment from Holly and hopes to convince Chris to get his act together before their company collapses.

Unaware that Holly is the one person who can help him get through to Chris, Jed starts the tough work of reconciliation armed with little more than a few family photographs, a stack of old letters, and a Bible that belonged to his great-grandfather, Andrew Henning. And as romance blossoms between Holly and Jed, the story of Jed’s great-grandfather highlights the power of God across the generations and the legacy of a family’s courageous faith.

My thoughts on the book:

I have always really enjoyed reading this authors book, however I have not read anything in this series and when I started the book it wasn’t what I expected at first. It got good thou really good right away. I really thought oh great a story about a rich kid but that was so far from that. This story is about family, faith, forgiveness and finding yourself. I loved Holly, and Willow they have this strong independent to them and they fight for themselves and those they love. I really like Jed and how his journey to make things right with his brother also was a whole different journey all on its own. I loved the story of Andrew and Helen. This book will make you laugh and cry, I liked that this was a good clean read and I like that the how the story draws you in and keeps you going till the end not wanting to put it down. I would totally recommend this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.”

Wanted by the Marshal by Susan Lute

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

She doesn’t believe in happily-ever-afters…

Summoned to Angel Point for her sister’s bridal shower, U.S. Marshal Dakota James’s plan is to make sure her sister doesn’t make the same mistake their parents did. But her quick in-and-out mission gets derailed when Taylor won’t listen and instead tries to introduce Dakota to every member of the single male population in Angel Point. One former marine in particular sets off life-changing fireworks that tempt her to reconsider her single status.

He wants to be more than friends…

Beckett Leland came to Angel Point to check on his cousin’s widow and young boys and found a quiet, out-of-the-way town where he and his retired military dog, Tucker, could peacefully make the transition to civilian life. What he doesn’t count on is running into a fiery, passionate woman who doesn’t believe that love and happy endings are possible. But he wants more than friendship from the marshal who has taken his heart into custody. 

Can he convince her that true love is real and their happiness waits just around the corner?

My thoughts on the book:

This author is new to me and I am not disappointed at all. I love small town romances and this book was spot on. Yes the book was predictable, but hang in there it was totally worth it. I loved everything about this book. I loved how Dakota was strong, independent and stubborn, but she met her match with both Beckett and her sister Taylor. Taylor killed me I did not read her story but she’s a pistol and has no problem telling people how its going to be. I really liked Claud and Betty oh my what a sweet couple. If you are looking a good clean read with a story that will get to your heart this is the story for you. I so enjoyed this fun read and can’t wait for more from the town of Angel Point. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Standoff Patricia Bradley Natchez Trace Park Rangers #1

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

The Natchez Trace National Parkway stretches 444 miles from Nashville to Natchez, the oldest town on the Mississippi River. It’s the perfect road for a relaxed pleasure drive. Unfortunately for park ranger Luke Fereday, lately it’s being used to move drugs. Sent to Natchez to infiltrate the organization at the center of the drug ring, Luke arrives too late to a stakeout and discovers the body of his friend, park ranger John Danvers.

John’s daughter Brooke is determined to investigate her father’s murder, but things are more complicated than they first appear, and Brooke soon finds herself the target of a killer who will do anything to silence her. Luke will have his hands full keeping her safe. But who’s going to keep him safe when he realizes he’s falling–hard–for the daughter of the man he failed to save?

Award-winning author Patricia Bradley introduces you to a new series set in the sultry South that will have you wiping your brow and looking over your shoulder.

My thoughts on the book:

This is a new author for me and this book was pretty good. I felt like in the beginning the author had almost too much going on. I felt like it was hard to figure out what was what but as the story progressed it did become easier to figure out who was who and what was happening. I liked that the book was suspense but I also felt like because there where so many players it made it really easy to figure out what and who did it, I really wish the author would have left a little mystery for the reader. That being said I really liked Luke and Brooke. Brooke has a heart of gold and would doing anything for anyone and would help them regardless she was a fighter and super stubborn and independent which made her good at her job. Luke a man of many mysteries he also has a good side to him while trying to do that right thing in the world. I did like out the author kept the book a clean read and she did discuss some very tough subject but did it in away to bring awareness. This book was a good read overall  I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.”

The Crushing Depths Dani Pettrey

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

When an accident claims the life of an oil-rig worker on the first drilling platform off the North Carolina coast, Coast Guard investigators Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers are sent to take the case. Tensions surrounding the oil rig are high and the death has everyone on edge. Environmental activists are threatening to do whatever it takes to stop the structure from being completed, while rumors are being whispered about ancient curses surrounding this part of the ocean. 

Mounting evidence shows the death may not have been an accident at all. Was he killed by one of the activists or, perhaps more frighteningly, a member of his own crew? Rissi and Mason have to sort through not only a plethora of suspects, but also their own past and attraction to each other. 

Just as the case seems like it’ll break open, worse news arrives. A tropical storm has turned their way and soon they’re cut off from any rescue–and right where the killer wants them. It’s a race to discover his identity before he eliminates the threat they pose.

My thoughts on the book:

I was so happy when I found out this book was coming out I could not wait to catch up with the CGI Team and the author did not disappoint. I could not put this book down, it will have you on the edge of your seat from page one. I really liked Rissi and Mason’s story and I love that they just worked, the chemistry between them did not seemed forced but very natural. As in like book one the author has a few main characters not just 2 or three, but each character plays a huge part in the story and without them the story would not be what it was, also that being said it was not that hard to follow either. I so hope we will get to read more about Em and Logan in the future. This book was a good clean read. This book will not disappoint in any way. If you love a good suspense grab this series. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Never an Amish Bride Ophelia London

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

Welcome to charming Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, where bestselling author Ophelia London will bring you on a moving and unforgettable journey through faith, forgiveness, and ultimately love.

Everything changed for Esther Miller with the death of her beloved fiancé, Jacob. Even years later, she still struggles with her faith and purpose in the small, tight-knit Amish village of Honey Brook—especially now that her younger sister is getting married. All she wants is to trust in the Lord to help her find peace…but peace is the last thing she gets when Lucas, Jacob’s wayward older brother, returns to town. 

Lucas Brenneman has been harboring a secret for years—the real reason he never returned from Rumspringa and the truth behind his brother Jacob’s death. Honey Brook still calls to him, but he knows his occupation as a physician’s assistant must take precedence. With sweet and beautiful Esther he finds a comfort he’s never known, and he feels like anything is possible…even forgiveness. But she was Jacob’s bride-to-be first. And if she knew the truth, would she ever truly open her heart to him?

My thoughts on the book:

This story was cute and does get to the heart of the matter for sure. I deals with loss and finding yourself. With both Lucas and Esther each dealing with where they belong.  I did find Esther a little whinny and I felt like Lucas had a big heart and he seemed to really want what was best for his people. I did feel like in some parts the book dragged a little. I did enjoy that the author kept the book  a good clean read and is suitable for all. I enjoyed both Esther and Lucas Mom’s they truly just shined in this book. If you are looking for a clean read with some fun characters check this book out. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

A Royal Second Chance Summer Viv Royce

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

Prince Nicolas is looking for a priceless royal heirloom. Trying to stay under the radar, he keeps that he’s a prince secret—especially from the cute antiques dealer he asks to help him. The longer it takes, the more time they get to spend together, though no matter how attracted he is to Lizzie, love is certainly not an option for the heir to the crown of Belfort.

Lizzie Cates fled her family’s new-found fame and fortune because life in the spotlight wasn’t for her. She loves her small town, where the most exciting thing on the schedule is the car parade for the Fourth of July. That’s just how she likes it, until Nicolas comes along. Lizzie finds herself falling for the caring man who craves the country and small-town life as much as she does.

Except Nicolas has a secret that will shatter both their dreams…

My thoughts on the book:

So I have never read anything by this author or in this series and if the other books in the series are half as good as this one then I can’t wait to read them. I could not put this book down the author has a way of drawing you and where you loose all sense of time and you need to know what’s going to happen. I was a fan of Nicolas for most of the book but there was on part where I literally wanted to just reach into the book and punch him…. UGH!! Hands down one of my favorite characters in the book was Ms. Thornton, her story was so powerful and just seem to leave its mark on your heart for sure. I understand why the author wrote her, but to me it just seemed like so much more. This book was a good clean read and was a quick read. I so want more. So worth grabbing it you won’t be disappointed. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Wrangling the Cowboys Heart Leah Vale

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

His little sister’s best friend…

The moment Amanda Rodrigues placed her hand over his heart to break up a fight, rancher Liam Neisson knew he was in trouble. He may have watched Amanda grow up next door and run in and out of his house indulging in wild escapades with his sister, but at this year’s rodeo, he suddenly can no longer think of her as the dark-haired little orphan girl running wild. She’s now a stubborn brown-eyed beauty who needs his help.

Her best friend’s big brother…

Sure she’s crushed on Liam all her life, but can she trust him? Barrel racer Amanda recently inherited her parents’ small dream ranch years ago, and has learned to run it with little help, but when a letter arrives from an attorney saying his client has a promissory note now due, Amanda knows even her will and hard work ethic won’t be enough. Liam’s family offers to help, but his offer to buy her prized stallion raises her suspicions. What if Amanda is risking more than her heart?


My thoughts on the book:

I really enjoyed this quick read. The characters just worked if that makes sense. You have Liam who is a fighter but is dealing with pain after the loss of his mom but still whiling to fight for those he loves. You have Amanda who has spent her whole life dealing with loss and she’s her self is fighting the unknown but will stop at nothing to protect her families legacy. The way the author keeps you guessing especially with Uncle Red makes you wonder what is going to happen next. Can I just say how much I like Ian and want to know what happens with him. This book does have adult situation but over all was a quick and fun read so well worth it.
