ABOUT THE BOOK


An emotional, passionate second-chance romance in the Poplar Falls series from Amber Kelly


Sometimes you have to lose control to have it all…


I’ve always longed to start a family of my own. I throw everything I have into every relationship. Too bad I seem to attract the fixer-uppers. You know the type—the boys with all the potential but none of the drive. I thought Ricky was different, the one who would finally step up and be the man I’d been dreaming about all these years—ever since I lost my father when I was a little girl. I didn’t realize the dream would turn out to be a nightmare.


So here I am. Twenty-four years old, on the verge of divorce, and trying not to think about what my daddy would say while I hold on to the last threads of my life to keep it all from unraveling.


It’s all going fine until Foster Tomlin swaggers into my life. The sexy-as-sin former soldier works on my best friend’s family ranch, and there’s no getting around him or what I’m feeling. He doesn’t need fixing up. He’s perfect the way he is. The way he looks at and treats me makes me feel things I’ve sworn off for good. And when he wraps his arms around me, I find myself letting go of all the things I thought I wanted and needed.


The question is…can I take a risk and put my heart on the line again?

This is the last book in the series and it stars Foster and Sonia. Its a stand alone book but it has so many characters and their backstories that most people will be very confused, even though the author explains all the back history. I do suggest you read this series in order as its a great series and its a way to really understand each character.


This book takes place in a small town in Texas and its one where everyone is very involved in church and the socialness associated with church. That also means there is a bit of churchness in the story. Not too much but more than I have seen in the other books in the series.

This was a lovely story but it does start with two people who are married and not too each other. It also takes place over a long period of time and skips ahead a few months. I liked the way the story was told in this way, as we get the important parts and miss some parts I did not want to read about.

The story starts off around the holidays with Sonia and her husband who she is separated from. We have met him in other books and he was a jerk and he is a jerk here. But it was a good place to start and we get Sonia's side of what happened. Then we move on to a friends wedding where Sonia is in the process of divorcing Ricky and shares a dance with Foster but she feels not ready for anything else.

Then the story picks up in October and we hear that Foster went back to his wife in the Spring and it only lasted one month but it also means he is back to separating from his former wife, Wendy and starting the whole process again. My point in sharing this is that its important to know that his ex is still a big part of his life in the story and calls him for help and he is still paying her bills, well into the story. I did not love this aspect of the story. I prefer for exes to be long gone and not so there when a new romance starts.

As a whole this book was fun and flirty after about 40% when Foster and Sonia start dating. Then at 80% there is a BIG plot twist and I hated that twist. I will say at least I didn't have to watch the plot twist and we get sort of a summary of what happens. Then at 90% there is a bigger plot twist that kinda broke my heart. As I write this I am crying because it just made me so sad. 

I think the book wrapped everything off a bit too fast. The book is more country slow and I would have wanted more of that pace as the book ended. That said I mostly enjoyed the book. I adored Sonia and I totally understood her feelings throughout the book. I would have reacted the same way as she did thru the plot twists. Foster, was an awesome guy. I loved how he loved Sonia. He was not perfect but the way he handles things within this book I was very impressed by.

Kitty Kitty - Souls Chapel Revenants MC Book 5 By Lani Lynn Vale

 

ABOUT THE BOOK

This is the story of a man falling in love with a woman.

 A man that was supposed to be a role model, and a woman that was just barely twenty-one.

 A man who should’ve known better, and a woman that didn’t know that she was destroying his career word by word, innocent touch by innocent touch, smile by smile, until it had already imploded.

The world collapses around Absinthe ‘Sin’ Solomon, and the only thing he can do is try not to take her down with him.

The moment the inevitable happens, and the gavel bangs signaling that he will spend the next nine years in prison for attempted murder, Sin tries to let go. But Blaise Mackenzie has never, not ever, been one to give up without a fight.

Her military career might be over, but her career as a prison guard is just about to get started.

And her favorite prisoner? A pissed-off older man, a drill sergeant dishonorably discharged from the Army that tells himself daily that the new ‘Kitty Kitty’ female prison guard is not for him.

After following him around for years, watching over him from afar in any way she can, Sin is released early. And the first person that he’s going to see? A stubborn little blonde-headed female that should’ve known better than to trust a man like him.

If you have been reading this series, you have met Sin as he is one of Lynn's team of former jailbirds he got pardoned so they could help him with the human trafficking ring. Sin is Coke's younger brother from Ain’t Doin’ It The Simple Man Series, Book 4.

This is Sin's story, and he is paired with Blaise Mackenzie, who is Silas granddaughter (Counter to My Intellligence The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC®, Book 7) and Johnny's sister (Get You Some The Simple Man Series Book 3)and Sebastien and Baylee's daughter (Lights to My Siren The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC®, Book 1). 

If you have been reading this series you know that Lynn brought the guys together to form a team to combat human trafficking of children in his small Texas town.In many of the past books in this series they were very light on this side story bit in this book we see the fight against human trafficking take more of a center stage in this story.

The book starts at the beginning with Sin and Blaise when they meet each other for the first time and what happens that lands him in jail. This story also has a slight military angle as thats where Sin and Blaise first meet. He is a bit older than her and is closer to 40 and she is in her mid twenties.

It was a really awesome story and I loved that it had so much action in relation to the trafficking angle of this story. I also adored Sin and Blaise's romance and story. And I adored all the connections they had to other characters in the authors series'. 





MY LUCKY #13 by Piper Rayne

ABOUT THE BOOK

Lucky.

The one adjective used to describe my entire hockey career. I prefer to call it hard work, at least I did until my game went to complete crap. I haven’t scored in eight games and my team owner is talking about trading me. 

 

I’ve never believed in superstitions. 


Never needed one. I suppose I was “lucky” in that way. But now the best way to refer to me is desperate. I’d wear the same socks for an entire year just to be the high-scoring center I used to be. 

 

Imagine my surprise when after spending New Year’s Eve with a woman, I score a hat trick in the next game—that’s three goals in one game for you non-hockey lovers. 


Now, I have to track  her down and bribe her to do it again before every game. Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m not talking about it.

 

I find her and when I get to know her better, I end up spending more time thinking about her than my game, but she’s made it clear she wants no part of me. She’s going to learn that I didn’t become a professional hockey player without having to fight for what I want.

This is a brand new series by the authors but it is also loosely connected to the authors Rooftop Crew series. Jax, Jolie and Frankie (From"A Coworkers Crush") are cousins to the main character in this story, Aiden and we even get a small glimpse of them in this story.

This series is about a series of players who are friends on a hockey team in Florida called the Florida Fury. Aiden Drake is the captain of the team and he is a pretty awesome guy. 

He meets a woman on New Years Eve, Saige who is a social media expert and  he finds her good luck but she also comes with shall we say complications and I adored their friends to more relationship and the ritual Aiden ends up requesting her to do before each game.

There is a tiny little love triangle but there is also no cheating in this story at all. It was a riveting story and I loved both Saige and Aiden and their story. If you love hot hockey players, friends to more then you will love this story and team of hockey players.



Don't Go Away Mad - Burgers and Brew Crüe #2 - by Lacey Black

=


ABOUT THE BOOK

Jasper

The kitchen: it’s my domain, where I create the best burgers in the Midwest. I’m the man behind the grill at Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my best friends. Every night, we’re packed, the demand has never been this high. It’s the only way I want it, thriving and pushing myself to be the very best.

Then she started her new business across the street from mine.

The one woman who always got under my skin, who pushed me to be better. Lyndee was my biggest rival in school and my biggest regret.

Now, she’s in town, and as much as I try, I just can’t stay away.

I want her.


Lyndee

A new start: that’s what Stewart Grove means for me and my brother. He’s the one who pushed me to take the chance on opening my own bakery. I am ready for the long hours, the grueling schedule, and the hard work it will take to be successful.

I wasn’t at all prepared to come face-to-face with the man across the street.

An almost kiss in college with the world’s most infuriating man has haunted me for the last decade. Now Jasper’s here, and I don’t think I can resist him.

Things are about to heat up in and out of the kitchen.

I just pray I don’t get burned.

 This is book two in the series about  4 guys who own a burger bar and grill called Burgers and Brew Crüe. Each book is about a different owner. The four owners are Jasper, Walker, Isaac and Jameson. This book is about Jasper and his old frienenemy,Lyndee from college/cooking school.

In this book we also meet Lyndee  who has moved to Jasper's town with her Celebral Palsy brother Dustin and they are opening a bakery across the street from Burgers and Brew Crüe.

This is a second chance at romance with the one who got away but they also never even kissed. It was more about lost opportunities while at college and also professional rivals at college. Now they are work neighbors and they don't need to compete and they sort of form a friendship while getting to know each other 10 years after college. It is also a slow burn story and I fell in love with Jasper. He is a bit of a perfectionist but also grumpy and I adored him just as much as Lyndee did.

As to Lyndee, she is an amazing sister and a yummy baker. This story definitely gave me a sweet tooth. If you love love slow burn stories and a second chance at romance then this was an awesome story and I adored every second of it.

Emma…

I don’t do feelings.

Especially not with an arrogant, broody Taylor brother.

But one moment of weakness on an elevator wrecks me.

I curse his name.

I curse said elevator.

Yet I find myself wanting to be trapped in a small space with Spence Taylor again.

And don’t even get me started on his day job.

The man can do just about anything with those hands.

Those big hands, and er—big feet.

I digress.

Spence…

Emma Kingsley is the most infuriating woman I’ve ever known.

Stubborn, arrogant, and sexy as sin.

She drives me crazy.

And she’s determined to hate me.

The funny thing is—I can’t get enough.

But the woman has more walls up than the royal palace.

Lucky for her, I make a living tearing down walls.

And I just found my favorite project.

Time to renovate, Queenie.

I am really loving this series. The first book featured Mya and Jesse Taylor and each book in this series will be about each GD Taylor brother finding love. In this story we get to know Mya's bestie, Emma and the oldest GD brother, Spence. These two are so passionate and hot together that I could not put the book down.

Spence and Emma start in this book with a strong hate-passion for each other. They have only shared one kiss and some hot elevator fun prior to this book starting. And these two rub each other very much the wrong way.

Spence knows Emma hates him and he has no idea why. And Emma hates him too and she also has no clue why. But these two fight, bicker and sling pot shots at each other all the time. But as this book progresses you see these two start to slowly peel the layers back and start to really see who the other is.

Largely Spence developes feelings for Emma but she fears love and relationships. She has some serious mother issues. Meanwhile Spence wants a real shot with her but he refuses to do something with her and then have her hate him so they are in a war for her walls to come down and she is so afraid that she throws walls up.

This was a really awesome story and I absolutely adored it. Spence was such an awesome guy and I loved how honest and real he is with Emma. I also adored how he is always there for Emma no matter what. He is her person and she slowly starts to see that he is her person too.

I am absolutely loving this family, series  and the writing. Kudos to both authors for a really fun, hot, flirty romance with two characters I absolutely loved.

Small Town Pretender - Havenbrook #5 - by Brighton Walsh




ABOUT THE BOOK

Asher McCoy can win over a crowd with a husky note and a strum of his guitar, but proving to a judge he’s responsible enough to gain custody of his niece and nephew? Not so easy. His big idea—a fake marriage. And who better to play his doting bride than his longtime best friend? He just needs to get her home first...

Natalie Haven couldn’t get away from her suffocating hometown fast enough. For years, she’s fluttered around the globe as a freelance photographer. And if that unconventional job pisses off her daddy? Well, all the better. But when her best friend sends out an SOS, she heads back to the one place she swore she’d never land.

Except a fake marriage means a not-so-fake living arrangement, including only one bed. Nat's witnessed enough women fall for Asher’s charms, but she refuses to be one of them. Because permanence isn’t in her blood. Not even for him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 


USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love—writing. She likes her books how she likes her tea—steamy and satisfying—and adores strong-willed heroines and the protective heroes who fall head over heels for them. Brighton lives in the Midwest with her real life hero of a husband, her two kids—one who’s already taller than her and one who's catching up too fast—and her dog who thinks she’s a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore, frequent dance parties (okay, so it's mostly her, by herself, while her children look on in horror), and more laughter than she thought possible.


AUTHOR LINKS




This is my first time reading this author and wow I have been missing out. This was a really well written story about two childhood bestfriends who through a  huge loss end up having to get married to keep custody of two young children. It was sweet, romantic, and heartfelt and I even cried some tears while reading this story.

This is #5 in the series and as mentioned I have not read any of the other books in the series. But I was told this was a stand alone and so thats how I looked at it when I started this book. In the first few chapters I honestly was a bit lost. There were lots of names, characters, who was married to who and whose kids each one had we a bit confusing. I think a family tree would have been very helpful in the beginning of the book so I could get a clear picture since I had not read any of the previous books. But that said once I figured out who was who and what was important, I understood their relationships and could fully enjoy reading this story.

This is a story about two people who grew up in Havenbrook, a very small town with limited opportunities. Nat, Nash and Asher were best of friends but both Ash and Nat wanted out of the small town as soon as they could. They both have family in town but they do it only in spurts as the town gets too much to them.

Ash is in Nashville when he gets a call that changes his life forever. He is a musician about to sign a contract when he has to go back to Havenbrook. Needing support he calls his best friend, Nat and asks her to come because he needs her to be there for him. She is on a photo shoot and she drops everything for Ash as he is her person.

When they get to town they have two children that need them desperately but with a custody battle in their future Ash asks Nat to pretend marry him  for the kids. Thats when these two have to face the feelings they really have for each other.

This story had heat, romance, a fake marriage, two adorable kids, close family and best friends in a small town and I adored every second of this story.
