Sweet, Sexy Heart by Melissa Foster


Sweet, Sexy Heart by Melissa Foster is now live!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Amber Montgomery is perfectly happy with her quiet life, running her bookstore, taking long walks with Reno, her Labrador retriever seizure response dog, and spending time with her close-knit family. She's never needed thrills the way some of her sisters have. In an effort to control her epilepsy, she tries to avoid anything that creates too much excitement or stress--including relationships. 

When Amber hosts a book signing for famed-athlete-turned-author Dash Pennington, he's everything she's spent her life avoiding: loud, aggressive, and far too handsome, as proven by the hordes of women who surround him everywhere he goes. Amber can't ignore the sparks flying between her and Dash, but this is a no-brainer for her: Ignore their chemistry and hold her breath until he leaves town.

Dash Pennington has spent his life running. Running the ball in for a touchdown, running from town to town to appease his public relations reps, and for years, running into the arms of too many women to count. He's also an expert at protecting--his reputation, his family, and lately, his sanity. But he's ready to make a change. 

When he comes to the sleepy little town of Oak Falls, Virginia, and witnesses the most beautiful woman he's ever seen living the life he craves, she refuses to have anything to do with him. But now that Dash has found the one thing he doesn't want to run from, he'll stop at nothing to win her over.

This was a wildly romantic story and prob one of my top two in the series. This is the story about Amber who we have met in previous books, as she is a Montgomery sister. She lives locally and runs her bookstore. She also has Epilepsy, but it is mostly controlled and she has a dog that assists her in staying calm to control her emotionally. She also is beloved by her town and parents but is very much living a shy, retiring and single life.

Her life changes when she meets, Dash, a former NFL player, and author who has friends in her town and also who is doing a book signing tour. For Dash just one look at Amber and he saw his future change but as Amber puts it, he is too much man for her. What she means is he is too exciting and too much while she enjoys her quiet life in her small town.

This book was super romantic. Dash will just make you sigh and Amber does fight hard against falling for him. But he chases her around town and when he can't get a date he goes the friendship route. 

I loved Dash but I hated his nickname for Amber and everytime he used it I cringed. He calls her his, "secret sexy reader." He uses it A LOT and everytime I hated it. But I did love the whole acorn thing. That was kinda cool. And I loved how the Greatest Showman was used in the story.

This was a wonderful romance and its one I really adored. It deal with Epilepsy as Amber has a serious case of it. The book also shows how it is something that doesn't just affect the person but it also affects boyfriends, parents, siblings and the future. At times this book maybe me laugh, cheer and even cry a few tears. The author did an amazing job with this story.

Because You're Mine by Layla Hagen

ABOUT THE BOOK

This sexy and heart-warming romance about a sworn bachelor falling for his best friend’s sister will melt your e-reader. 

Happy Ever After - guaranteed!

Can be enjoyed as standalone. 


Ian Gallagher loves taking risks. It’s how he turned the business he’s built with his brother into a success. But even he can’t cross some rules. His best friend’s sister is strictly off-limits, but when Ellie moves to New York, he jumps at the chance to help her settle in.

One look at her, and he realizes that not flirting with her will be a lot harder than he thought, and not just because she’s stunning. He enjoys her laughter and merciless teasing. How can he stay away when all he wants is to get closer?

Ellie Cavanaugh is living her dream. She’s finally working in a Michelin starred restaurant in New York. Her plan is to get as much experience as possible before opening her own place. Kissing her brother’s best friend is definitely not part of the plan. Neither is opening up to him in ways she never did with anyone.

Ellie knows that Ian isn’t looking for forever though. After all, her brother warned her that Ian was a sworn bachelor. And if she’s honest with herself, Ellie isn’t ready for love either. She’s never let anyone in before. But she can’t help giving in to the growing bond between her and Ian, even if it means putting her heart on the line.

This is the last book in the series and gosh I am going to miss the families that the author has created.  We get to see a lot of the different families nearer the end and what they are up to in the future, This is Ian Gallagher's story, and he was the one no one thought would ever settle down.

In this book we meet his best friend Henry, who has a very HOT YOUNGER sister who comes to NYC for a job as a chef. She is only supposed to be in town for 6 months and then she will rotate to a different restaurant to train there and so on...

Ian and Ellie have known each other for a very long time but never really got alone time and Henry has always warned Ian away from getting to know Ellie. When she comes to NY, he warns him away but also asks him to watch over her too.

Ellie has always crushed hard on Ian and she has always struggled letting any guy in and she also has a secret.....

Because you are mine, is the title of this book and its a phrase that Ian tells Ellie, why she is different from other women for him. 

This was a fun, flirty story with a bit of a forbidden romance. I felt Henry's response was a bit tame after he had threatened Ian for years. The bigger drama in this story related to Ellie seeing a lot of Ian's discarded women around town and that she will be leaving town in a few months. 

I really loved the story . It was low on drama and a great way for the series to end. However I found it a bit tamer than the other stories in the series and I adored how we get to see all the previous characters in this story and catch up with them.

Playing with Words by Kelly Elliott



Playing with Words by Kelly Elliott is now live!

ABOUT THE STORY

Hudson Higgins had fond memories of Boggy Creek from his childhood. So what better place to escape New York City for a few weeks to finish up a book that was nearing deadline than the small town in New Hampshire his parents visited nearly every summer.

What he couldn't have known was how his life would be turned upside down when he walked into Greer Larson's bookstore his first day in town.

Greer Larson lived a quiet life in her hometown of Boggy Creek. She had worked nearly her whole adult life to make her dreams of owning her bookstore come true--and now, Turning Pages was her everything. She lived, eat, and breathed the success of owning her own business.

That is, until a stranger came to town and showed Greer that there was more to life than simply working. A friendship between Greer and Hudson quickly formed over their love of books and the outdoors.

When Greer's bookstore is threatened, Hudson soon realizes he hasn't simply fallen for the charm of Boggy Creek and Greer, he'd fallen in love...with both the town, and the woman who stole his heart from the moment she first smiled at him.

Playing with Words is book two in the Boggy Creek Valley series and is a stand alone novel.

I read the first book in the series and absolutely adored it. This is book 2 and it easily stands alone. The characters from the first book are minor characters in this book but Greer who we meet in the first book because she runs a local bookstore in Boggy Creek is the star of this story. 

She is paired  with newcomer, Hudson who is a famous author who is having a lot of distractions when he tries to write in NYC, where he lives. His family has great memories of family trips to Boggy Creek in New Hampshire, so he decides to try and get a change in scenery  by visiting and hopes the words come to him so he can finish his latest book.

He sees the local bookstore and meets Greer who helps him find a quiet spot to write and later she offers him friendship and a secluded cabin to write in. 

This story was low on drama. I liked the first book more because it had more drama. But this was a more laid back story, and there is a side plot of who in town is trying to buy up buildings and the future of Greers book store.

What I really like about this story is that there are no ex dramas, no real jealousy, just two people who like each other and who hang out, help each other, offer support and get to know each other by going on dates. 

Hudson is a really awesome guy and he is very mature. He knows right away that he likes Greer and she knows the same thing. The biggest issues in this story is what will happen to Greer and Hudson when he finishes his book? and will she have to move her bookstore?

I enjoyed this story a lot just I liked the first book more. The next book is about divorced couple Bishop and his ex Abby and I cannot wait. Their story looks awesome.

This is Liam and Paige's story. If you read Finding Ronan's Heart then you have met Liam, Paige and her daughter Lucy. If you haven't then go read it before you read this book as this book might have some spoilers for that book. Aside from that this book can stand alone.

Liam is the son Aiden and Cami from the original Vested Interest series. He is the older brother of triplets, one of who is Ronan who in the previous book fell for Paige's roommate. In this book he is helping Ronan makeup and thats how he gets introduced to Paige and her young daughter, Lucy.

They both fall hard and we see that in Finding Ronan's Heart. In this book we get to see things from Liam and Paige's side of things and find out their future. It was awesome and nothing happened that was a surprise as I read Finding Ronan's Heart but I loved getting inside their heads and I enjoyed seeing how romantic Liam was with Paige and getting a view inside their heads. I also loved seeing how Liam protects Paige and Lucy from anything that might hurt them. 

This was a really fun, flirty, sweet and romantic story and I cannot wait for Ava's story next.
