The Trouble with Cowboys Victoria James

SarahLeave a comment


Description:

Eight years ago, Tyler Donnelly left Wishing River, Montana, after a terrible fight with his father and swore he’d never return. But when his father has a stroke, guilt and duty drive him home, and nothing is as he remembers––from the run-down ranch to Lainey Sullivan, who is all grown up now. And darn if he can’t seem to stay away. 

Lainey’s late grandma left her two things: the family diner and a deep-seated mistrust of cowboys. So when Tyler quietly rides back into town looking better than hot apple pie, she knows she’s in trouble. But she owes his dad everything, and she’s determined to show Ty what it means to be part of a small town…and part of a family.

Lainey’s courage pushes Ty to want to make Wishing River into a home again—together. But one of them is harboring a secret that could change everything.


My thoughts on the book:

I really enjoyed this book, I found it completely hard to put down. The Author has a way of sucking you in from the beginning and it makes you feel like you are right there, or watching it on a scene. I love how the characters truly feel like you are catching up with friends and I love the small town feel of the book. With everything that Lainey has faced she has this strong fighting spirit and you really cheer her on through the whole book. The chemistry and the raw emotions just jumped off the pages. Tyler hints at something through out the book and its not till later you find out what which kept me guessing and wanting to know what was going to happen next with him and his Dad. Over all the book is a great read and does have some language but over all I would say totally worth the read. 

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

Getting Hot with the Scot Melonie Johnson

SarahLeave a comment


Description:


IT’S TIME TO FLIRT WITH A MAN IN A KILT 

Cassie Crow, a pop-culture reporter for a TV talk show, is focused on becoming a “serious” journalist. But when she stumbles into a kilted Highlander with a killer accent, Cassie decides that taking one night off from work and spending it with a sexy Scot couldn’t hurt. . . 

Logan Reid has built a career on his charm, hosting a series of off-the-wall hijinks on the Web. But when the Scottish prankster meets the all-American, equal parts intelligent and irresistible Cassie, Logan realizes that one night of fun won’t be enough. Could it be that this career-focused, commitment-phobic couple is finally ready to take a chance at true and lasting love?

My thoughts on the book:

Five friends go on a dream vacation and Cassie is looking for a hot guy to fulfill her other dream, hot sex. When she stumbles into the wrong room in a castle they are touring it seems she may have taken a step back in time. I was not a real fan of this book I found Logan completely immature through 90% of the book, I found him board line annoying. I like Cassie and her friends but I also found her some what immature. I thought they were in there twenties, but they acted like they were just out of high school with there antics. Towards the end of the book it did feel like they did grow up some however it seemed a little to late for me. There is a lot of sex but not a lot a chemistry. I did not find this book was for me. 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

Full Disclosure Dee Henderson

What’s the book about:

Ann Silver is a cop’s cop. As the Midwest Homicide Investigator, she is called in to help local law enforcement on the worst of cases, looking for answers to murder. Hers is one of the region’s most trusted investigative positions. 

Paul Falcon is the FBI’s top murder cop in the Midwest. If the victim carried a federal badge or had a security clearance, odds are good Paul and his team see the case file or work the murder. 

Their lives intersect when Ann arrives to pass a case off her desk and onto his. A car wreck and a suspicious death offer a lead on a hired shooter he is tracking. Paul isn’t expecting to meet someone, the kind that goes on the personal side of the ledger, but Ann Silver has his attention. 

The better he gets to know her, the more Paul realizes her job barely scratches the surface of who she is. She knows spies and soldiers and U.S. Marshals, and has written books about them. She is friends with the former Vice President. People with good reason to be cautious about who they let into their lives deeply trust her. Paul wonders just what secrets Ann is keeping, until she shows him the John Doe Killer case file, and he starts to realize just who this lady he is falling in love with really is…

My thoughts on the book:

So if you are like me this is a book that has been a long time in the coming. Dee Henderson has written the O’Malley series and then a few other books. SO when I found out that she was releasing another book I could not be more happy, I was so happy when I was offered to read an advanced reader copy. So when I got the book in the mail I did not mind a second to stop what I was reading and start reading this book

   At first because it has been so many years it took me a sec to connect this book with catching up on some of her characters from her other books, which I loved. I can honestly say there where 2 days I really did not want to go to work so that I could just finally finish this book. It starts off fast and keeps going. I liked how through out the book no one part was rushed but the story was well told. As the characters are struggling with there “demons” and some even come back to haunt them in the book there story doesn’t take away from the main story line in the book.I am not trying to be to wishy washy with the story line but if you are an avid reader as I am I hate when people start to tell you about a book and it ruins it. I can tell you this is you have read Dee’s other book this book as her others will not let you down.

A gift of Grace By Amy Clipston

SarahLeave a comment

This book is the first book in the Kauffman Amish bakery series. This book I do have to say was pretty amazing and hit close to home for me. I can relate to the main character Rebecca. The story starts off this Rebecca getting custody of her two teenage daughters after there parents die. In the many books that I have read and the stories I have heard about the Amish they forgive no matter what, they believe its God’s will. In this book that is the same however it also deals with the loss of not being able to become pregnant and how she struggles with it, and how she feels her husband is upset over this. I personally have been dealing with my struggles on pregnancy so when I read this I felt like God was using this book to bring me comfort in his way and its his will not ours.

   This book also talked about forgiveness and really listening to God and what he has to say. Now Amy had the mother in law in this book keep saying, “Are you listening to God?” and I have not really thought about that are we really listening to God or are we listening to our hearts, and thinking its Gods voice we are hearing. In the book Rebecca is left to figure that out and as she struggles with that there are trials that come up that she has to deal with and work through all while trying to stay still and listen to Gods sweet voice. 

I would recommend this book to just about anyone and if you are dealing with loss or struggling to sit still to listen to Gods voice then I believe you will find comfort in this book. I also like how the author has included many recipes in this book.

Liv and Breathe Misty Simon

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

Olivia Jameson runs a summer camp called Breathe, giving inner-city kids a chance to see a different life. When the man who owned the camp died, leaving his dream to his son, Liv took charge, and the work means the world to her.

As far as Alex Campbell is concerned, the camp is a hands-off tax write-off. But when Liv calls because her boys are accused of property damage, Alex returns to the place he hasn’t called home since age twelve…and to a girl he barely remembers, now a woman who stirs him like no city sophisticates ever have.

This is Liv’s livelihood, her mission, her dream. Sharing it with a man who doesn’t understand the impact is frustrating. But as he begins learning truths that were hidden from him, both Liv and Alex may have a change of heart. Can Liv open up her life one more time to love?


My thoughts on the book:

I have never read anything from this author so I didn’t know what to expect. This subject matter was not something I have read about before or that I can remember. The author gave the book a down home feel to it. The town comes together to help kids who are less fortunate, but it seemed more like they were helping Olivia and her son because they believed in her and what she was trying to do. Olivia had this passion for what she was doing and she was super stubborn and would let nothing stop her. Alex has this feel about it at first that made you wonder will I end up liking this guy in the end or not. He had this soft side to him but he also kept his guard up a lot of the book. Over all this book is a decent read. There are adult situations described but not graphic. I would say if you are looking for a fun read with a lot of sass then defiantly check this read out. 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.

Flight medic Langston Brooks has built a good life for himself in his hometown of Red River. He’s got it all—a close-knit group of friends and family, an exciting career on a life-flight helicopter, and ridiculously good looks that have made him one of Red River’s most eligible bachelors. The only thing missing is someone to share it with.

His secret lover for the past decade isn’t a forever kind of girl. Not with a tarnished reputation over something she didn’t do, and it’s still following her. Now that she’s brought an international winter sports event to Red River, it’s her ticket out of town. She can finally make a clean break as soon as she collects the nice payday that’s coming her way. The only problem with her plan is she’ll have to leave Langston behind, too.

After keeping their relationship under wraps for years—at her insistence—she finally breaks it off with Langston for good. Moving on alone is best for everyone, especially Red River’s sexy flight medic, who doesn’t deserve the baggage from her troubled past. When they’re forced to work together to make the event a success, can she keep up the pretense that she doesn’t love him anymore? Or will she finally give in and become his forever love?

Return to Red River–where the nights are cool and the romance is hot–in this sexy novella.

Find out who hot alpha flight medic, Langston Brooks has been seeing on the sly for years. After keeping their love affair a secret for a decade, will they finally get their happily ever after? 


My thoughts on the book:

This is the second book in this series I have read and what a fun read it was. I liked how the author took two very broken people each in their own way and made them feel completely relatable and made them feel more like friends. The storyline was short, sweet and to the point but it was also a page turner kept you wanting to know what was going to happen next. I love small town romance and this book fit that perfectly. In the end there was on character who was super fun and quirky and totally had me laughing at it’s antics, you will have to read to find out who only because this person played a hard head in the beginning and I don’t want to give much away. This book does have sex in it so it may not be for all reads. Over all I would recommend this fun book.

Never Let Go Elizabeth Goddard- Uncommon Justice #1

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

As a forensic genealogist, Willow Anderson is following in her late grandfather’s footsteps in her quest for answers about a baby abducted from the hospital more than twenty years ago. The case may be cold, but things are about to heat up when someone makes an attempt on her life to keep her from discovering the truth.

Ex-FBI agent–and Willow’s ex-flame–Austin McKade readily offers his help to protect the woman he never should have let get away. Together they’ll follow where the clues lead them, even if it means Austin must face the past he’s spent much of his life trying to forget. And even if it puts Willow’s tender heart at risk.

In this fast-paced and emotional page-turner, bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard keeps the stakes high, the romantic tension sparking, and the outcome uncertain until the very end.


My thoughts on the book:

So, this is the first book I have ever read from this author. I was impressed, the story did not slow down much, and when it did those time were still pretty intense just wondering what was going to happen next. The story line was well written and keeps read wondering who did what. Early on I thought “oh this book is so predictable and I know who done it” in the end I was completely wrong. In the end I wanted a little more about Willow,Austin, Charlie, and Heath and what is next for them, then I realized this was a series so I sure I haven’t heard the last of them. I hope to also hear more of Charile’s story as well. Over all this book was a clean read and suitable for all. 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

Met Her Match Susan Tuttle

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

Two old friends. One unexpected reunion.

Parasailing captain Pemberley Truitt has almost grasped a sense of home after two years in the Bahamas. While she misses her family, she’s never felt like she fits in; especially when it comes to TruLove, their family’s matchmaking business. When her brother calls and begs her help with the now struggling company, she’s happy to oblige and obtain the chance to find her place with them. But then she discovers she’ll have to work with Tobias Bradshaw. The last time she saw him, he broke her heart.

Tobias Bradshaw is ready for his love life to be as successful as his winning record in the courtroom. Which is why he agrees to his friend’s two-fold plea: professionally research Joy Island’s matchmaking service and personally be matched himself. No objections there. Until Pemberley Truitt crosses his path again, and she looks about as happy to see him as someone chosen for jury duty. It’s fine. He’s faced hostile witnesses before. Except he soon realizes he wants more than a temporary working relationship. He’s taken on difficult opposition in court before, but this time he’ll need more than a persuasive argument if he hopes to win Pem’s heart.


My thoughts on the book:

Tobias, has trust issues and Pem, feels like she doesn’t belong when her brother asks for help she is faced with her past and has a ton of underlying issues she needs to deal with. What a fun laid back read. This book was a super fun book to read and it was also a quick read.  I also loved how this book was a good clean read and suitable for all ages. If you are looking for a fun quick read you can’t go wrong with.

This book was such an amazing and sweet read. This book deals with facing fears, forgiveness and find hope when you feel hope is loss. I loved this fun love story. There characters where fun to read about, From Pax and Neeley, to Neeley’s sister Tenley and all the other people on the island you really felt like you were catching up with friends.
