The Anti-Honeymoon Bethany Michaels

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

No groom? No Problem.

When her fiancé tries to turn their wedding into a publicity stunt, Jenna ditches the nuptials—and the groom she shouldn’t have been with in the first place—and skips straight to the honeymoon. The getaway driver, her ex-fiancé’s former business partner, Zach, is the perfect guy to help reshape her romantic newlywed itinerary into an anti-couple, anti-romance, anti-honeymoon adventure for two.

They trade couples yoga for kickboxing lessons. Five-star dining on the beach for pizza and beer at a dive bar. Forget couples massage—Jenna’s getting that tattoo she’s always wanted, and dares Zach to get one, too. And those naughty boudoir pics she took in place of romantic sunset snaps? Those aren’t going in anyone’s wedding album. Not that Zach will forget them anytime soon.

As each item on Jenna’s anti-couples list is checked off, the anti-honeymoon with Zach feels more and more like the real thing, and she wishes the list was just a little bit longer…and even steamier.

My thoughts on the book:

This book was very predictable but so worth the read. The book was a fun and quick read. Jenna is more of a laid back take life as it comes and Zach is a type A personality everything has to be planned out, in this book everything is tossed in the air and nothing goes as planned for either. I really like Marcy she had a small part in the book was she was mighty. I would love to read her story next and see what trouble she gets into. This book has curse words and sex so may not be suitable for all. Over all this book was quick read and well worth it. 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

A Cowboy’s Song by Megan Ryder

Sarah1 Comment

Description:

Can they build a future on a shaky foundation?

Tyler “Ty” lost everything in a car accident when he was twelve, retreating into his shell so tightly that it took months for him to come out again. Music and the ranch saved him, and he will always be grateful to his foster family for saving his life. Now, with the ranch on financial tenterhooks, he wonders if he can use his music to contribute to the solution.

Piper Raines is the daughter of a legendary country music family. While her parents and brother are all famous, her attempt at an independent career went off the rails, and, with exhaustion and stress and bad press dogging her every step, she needs a place to recover. When Piper is invited to vacation at the ranch, Piper and Ty connect through horses and music. After a video duet of Piper and Ty goes viral, they’re invited to sing in Nashville, which also provides added pressure, stressing their new relationship.

My thoughts on the book:

When I started this book my first thought was please let it be good. Then I realize the brothers were back and knew it was going to be good and they were up to no good again. I loved catching up with Chase, Hailey, West and Tara. Ty is a broken souls looking for healing in his own way and the author did not disappoint as your taken on the journey to find himself. Oh Piper is a spit fire for sure with lots of sass but a down home girl all the same. Overall I really enjoyed this book, it was a fun read with lots of wonderful characters and I am so glad to catch up with them. I hope there is more to come from these fun characters. There is sex and cussing in this book so may not be suitable for all. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.”

SkyRocket Nikki Lynn Barrett

SarahLeave a comment

Description:Skyrocket is not a full length novel, it’s a novella, and it’s a continuation of Matt and Kyra from Fallen Idol.

It’s the moment she’s been waiting for…

Kyra Sanders is back! With her comeback album just released and a highly anticipated summer tour, her career is ready to skyrocket once again. She’s pumped and ready to go. After all the hell Kyra went through, it’s about time things are on track.

But then come the concerns and doubts….

Just when things have fallen into place, Matt Greer receives a letter regarding his son which should come as no surprise, but it’s still a blow. 

And that’s not all…
Baby Stetson is rearing to go for their first big tour. 

Except…

One is dealing with paranoia about a face from the past.
Another gets unexpected news
Feelings and plans get conflicted…
Not everyone’s head is in the game. 
Not everyone is ready for the media and their rumors.

Lives are in chaos
Dreams are on the line. 
The Bare My Soul tour will definitely be a summer for everyone involved to remember….

Don’t miss the hottest concert tour of the summer!

My thoughts on the book:

I could not put this book down. The author has away of making you feel like your catching up with friends and not reading a fiction story. I just loved the characters in this book. I loved Andrew and that he made another appearance in this story, he’s a good kid put into a rough situation but takes it in stride. I like how he seem to have a good head on his shoulders I loved Kyra and Matt they both have insecurities but they continued be strong and fight through whatever they face. I loved also being able to catch up with Baby Stenson. Y’all this book was truly a fun read and I can’t wait for more. This book does have the indication of sex and some adult language but overall not bad at all so worth the read.

Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas Emily March

SarahLeave a comment

Description:In Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas, New York Times bestselling author Emily March presents a brand new arc set in the Lone Star State that features a family-linked trilogy within the author’s romantic series.

Hope springs eternal in this enchanting Texas town.

Meet Gillian Thacker. Her business: Bliss Bridal Salon. Her passion: Weddings. Her own wedding: It’s complicated. Life isn’t turning out like she’d planned. The last thing she wants is for a real-life hero to ride to her rescue when an unexpected event puts her entire future in Redemption, Texas, at risk. So what’s a broken-hearted bridal expert to do? Maybe a new set of survival skills is exactly what she needs…

Tucker McBride has been proud to call himself a U.S. Army Ranger. But now that his days of service are over, he’s decided to put his expertise to use by founding a wilderness skills training school. He sets up shop in Redemption, next to Bliss Bridal, and so begins life: Part Two. Marriage has been pretty low on his agenda, but as soon as he meets Gillian, Tucker can’t help but contemplate the ultimate challenge: Convincing the reluctant bride to take his hand and leap into the adventure of a lifetime. . .until death do they part. 

“A brilliant writer you’ll love creates a world you’ll never want to leave.”—Susan Mallery, New York Times bestselling author

My thoughts on the book:

I like this author she has a way of sucking you into a story and always has fun a quirky characters. I am so glad the Blessing cousins are back in this story you never know what will come out of their mouths and what they are going to be up to next. I really liked Tucker he was a Cowboy through and through, He was a perfect hero for this story nothing anyone could say or do could change who he is as a person. Gillian was a broken soul who needed the perfect person to come and help her heal but her family and friends always had her back. I loved the friendship between the girls they always have each others backs.This book does discuss sex and has some language so may not be suitable for all readers. Overall I really enjoyed this book it was a super fun 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

The Key to My Heart Nikki Lynn Barrett

SarahLeave a comment

Description:The Key To My Heart is a series standalone. It can be read by itself, but it is part of the Love and Music in Texas series.

One dream fails, a passion burnt out…

With no set plan and a desire to find a passion, Blaine Grant hightailed it out of Harmony’s Echo a year out of high school to find herself. Finding a passion didn’t come as easily to her as it did for others she knew. Now, Blaine has come home for good with mistakes she’d like to forget, but the past doesn’t want to forget her. Everyone thought she’d been selfish to not come back when she was needed the most, but Blaine never let anyone know the emotional hell she went through. 

Another dream is just beginning to see the light…

Randy Hughes has always been the shy guy until he discovered his love of music. It wasn’t until joining the band that he grew out of his shyness. The oldest sibling and the only boy, he’s pressured by family expectations to set a good example. He’s the one who takes everyone in when they need it, and he’s the one whose own dreams are ignored. Now that big things are happening for the Baby Stetson band, Randy has to decide how to handle his family when his dreams are on the line… 

A friendship is changing.

One spur of the moment, impulsive move leads Randy and Blaine into a dire situation that may bring them together, or pull them apart, just when he’s finally able to gather the courage to tell Blaine how he’s felt about her all these years…

Revisit the characters you’ve come to know in small town Harmony’s Echo, as more changes settle upon them.

My thoughts on the book:

What I like about this author is that she never sugar coat’s anything, no topic or subject are ever off limits. In this story that was very much the case she has away of always getting to the heart of the matter as well. I really enjoyed this story of Randy and Blaine, I felt like after reading The Melody in my Head I could not wait to find out what happened with them. Blaine and what she faced broke my heart but dang this girl came out swinging and you never knew what she was going to do next. I loved her take no prisoner attitude. Randy is loyal to a fault and at first I thought he had no back bone but at the end of the day that changed and it was hard not to really really like him and root for him. I don’t know what character the author has next for us but I can say if its this same group of friends than I can’t wait for more. This book does have sex and adult language so it may not be suitable for all.

Lassoed by the Would-Be Rancher Melinda Curtis

Description:

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR 

If there’s a way to her heart…

…he’ll jump at the chance!

CEO Shane Monroe sticks out like a sore thumb in Second Chance, Idaho, where he’s investigating his grandfather’s connection to the town’s folklore of stolen treasure. Feisty local Franny Clark ridicules his city-slicker ways but allows Shane to hunt for gold on her land…if he can help save her rodeo ranch. Shane is captivated by Franny’s go-getting attitude, but what will it take for him to win her over?

My thoughts on the book:

I really have enjoyed reading about the Monroe Family they are a fun bunch learning to live and grow with the new circumstances they have been handed. I have to say I was not much a fan of this couple. I loved the Clark children and Gertie they were so fun to read about. I loved Davey and how not matter what he “took the bull by the horns” and ran with it, he was a fighter and it was hard not to love him and his independent spirit. If you have been following the Monroe Family this book will catch you up on the comings and goings and is well worth the read. I also have to say I really liked reading about Bo and Jonah I can’t wait to read more of their stories and see what kind of trouble those to cause. This book is a clean read and so good. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.”

Love you, Truly Susan Tuttle

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

Blake Carlton, the camera-shy son of Hollywood’s Darling, dodges the invasive limelight and scripted relationships that so often accompany fame. But when his mother’s popularity declines and she falls into a depression, he offers himself up as the next bachelor on a reality show, hoping to reignite interest in her career while creating a way for them to finally connect.

After her fiancé dumps her for her best friend, aspiring photographer Harlow Tucker is done with romance—until her beloved, disabled sister requests her aid to start a nonprofit. Harlow agrees to do whatever is needed to raise funds, even reluctantly costarring on a dating show with a notorious womanizer who distrusts anyone behind a lens.

As Blake and Harlow navigate the superficiality of a reality show, their preconceived notions of love are challenged. Deciding to trust each other feels like the ultimate risk, but taking that chance could lead to a love truly picture-perfect, worth both of their hearts.

My thoughts on the book:

This book was so cute I am not a huge fan of a certain tv show that this may be based off and so some  of this I was I was thinking this my come off as corny or cheesy and that never happened. The author draws you in and literally keeps you sucked in till the end. I really really loved Charlie and Darcy they were like what friends are made of. I really like Harlow and Mae as well both very stubborn and independent women who shine with God’s love for their life. I love how the author kept the relationship with God the first and foremost in this story because no matter what that’s what important. This book is a good clean read. There are some tough topics discussed but well worth the read.

The Christmas Wish Melinda Curtis

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

It’s beginning to look a lot like a Christmas in this Sunshine Valley novella from USA Today bestselling author Melinda Curtis that will appeal to fans of RaeAnne Thayne and Sheila Roberts.

Everyone in Sunshine Valley, Colorado, is in the Christmas spirit except for Everett Bollinger, the new town manager. With money tighter than ever, Everett has had to make some tough decisions about the local holiday celebration. And taking the blame has put him in a very un-festive mood.

Rosalie Reyes has big plans to open her new pet shop during the Christmas parade. But it seems like Everett is determined to sabotage the parade and her business too. With the help of the local matchmakers and a rambunctious Saint Bernard named Remy, Rosalie is about to unleash the town’s holiday cheer and make it a paws-itively amazing Christmas for all. Including a certain town manager who’s about to discover the reason for the season…is love.

My thoughts on the book:

This book was seriously the cutest story, and it will put you into the Christmas Spirit for sure. I like how the author took to broken people and made them feel very much like real people looking for love. I loved all the characters of Sun Valley it truly felt like coming home, they truly felt like I was catching up with friends. I loved Yolanda and Kimmy oh my those two killed me. I hope that Kimmy’s story comes out soon I would love to see what antics she’s going to get herself in. Remi and Tinkerbell will have you laughing and the craziness. I loved how the author kept this book clean and suitable for all ages. This book was super quick read and you will not be disappointed. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Christmas at Sleigh Bell Farm Kaylie Newell

SarahLeave a comment

Description:

It’s going to take more than luck to make his Christmas dreams come true

Jim “Lucky” Elliott is the country boy next door – charismatic, handsome and charming. But when he has to drop out of vet school to try and rescue his grandparents’ Marietta-based sleigh ride business and family farm, Lucky faces his hardest struggle yet.

Podcaster Rachel O’Rourke is done with broken hearts, but she can still find joy in other people’s happily-ever-afters. When she holds a contest on her show for the best first kiss story, her bruised heart beats a little faster when she reads Lucky’s submission. He doesn’t have a story, but his grandparents do, and free advertising for the winner is just what he’s looking for.

As they start spending time on the farm, Rachel finds herself not only drawn to the sweet setting, but also to the man. But when a real estate developer sets his sights on the Elliott land, Lucky will have to decide if the money means security for his family, or if he’ll fight for Sleigh Bell with Rachel by his side.

My thoughts on the book:

What there perfect book to put you into the Christmas spirit. It has a noisy family and small town ready to help neighbors and hot cowboy and cowgirl I mean what more does it need. This book really was a fun read, the author has you laughing and crying all at once. I enjoyed coming back and reading about Marrietta. This book does have sex in it but it does not have any foul language. I really enjoyed how not matter what Patrick and Lucky were close like brothers and they seemed like two peas in a pod. I lived Rachel and Cloe for the same they were like sister and always willing to do anything for each other. OH and I loved Bill I think we all have a Bill in our lives for sure. If you are looking for a fun book this one will not disappoint.
