RESCUING AN ANGEL (THE OIL BARONS #4) BY ANN JACOBS
SYNOPSIS
One fateful misstep for Gayla Levine was all it took for her once-adoring fiancé to walk away and her demanding father to disown her. Determined to finally turn her life around and embrace her newfound independence, she wants nothing to do with men or relationships—until she meets Dan Newman, a sexy surgeon who sends a shock of electricity through her every time they touch.
Dan Newman has spent his life struggling to overcome his own crippling past by devoting himself to healing others who have suffered. Now a world-class surgeon, he’s confident in his ability to face anything life throws at him—until he meets a headstrong Texas beauty who has his pulse racing and fills his dreams with impossibly sensual visions.
As they fall into a passionate romance that takes them both to the burning edges of pleasure, these two damaged souls must both confront their darkest demons. Because Gayla is haunted by the echoes of being called a failure and torn by the fear that she’ll be rejected once again, and Dan, who has proved his worth to so many others, now must convince himself and Gayla that they deserve the powerful love they’ve found.

Rescuing an Angel (The Oil Barons #4) by Ann Jacobs
Reviewed for Candid Book Reviews
Rescuing an Angel is a story of courage, inner strength and acceptance. This was my favorite story out of the entire Oil Barons Series. Gayla has been beating herself up for years with guilt, self-doubt, regret and heartache over one moment that lead her down a treacherous path. Having finally found the peace of mind to forgive herself for something that was not her fault and move on with her life after years of anger and self-abuse was a remarkable feat. Dan is someone who has a good heart but has had to push himself harder than others because of his own physical struggles. Dan and Gayla found each other at the right time. They needed something to believe in and someone to believe in them. There are not many times when I get angry while reading a story but this one had me that way. Ann Jacobs did a wonderful job of showing the ugliness of self-absorbed idiots that believe themselves superior to a that is weaker. It galled me that Gayla did her best and when she needed the people she counted on most to stand behind her, encourage her and guide her they threw her out like yesterday's trash. That is what lead her down the path she took but it also made her a better person. Dan traveled a hard road but it was one of self-discovery that proved rewarding.

Texas Fire (The Oil Barons #5) by Ann Jacobs
Reviewed for Candid Book Reviews
The relationship between Jake and Kate proved to be as fiery and turbulent as the rugged terrain. Kate was a character that I admired. She took back her life after a disastrous relationship, a tragic loss and an uncertain future. All these events made her determined to be stronger and succeed no matter the obstacle. Jake considers himself an island. He stands alone. Don't trust, don't feel, can't get hurt. His savage attraction to Kate makes that hard to do. Texas Fire fans the flames of passion but it is also a story of courage, faith and love. I loved it and would recommend it to any lover of sultry romance.

Reviewed for Candid Book Reviews
I first had the chance to meet "Bear" and Shana when I picked up a copy of Capture Me. The dramatic lovers who overcame doubt, prejudice and background to create a love that conquered every obstacle. Every romantic hopes and prays for that type of love. When I learned about Promises Lost, I was so eager to catch up with these two. I was floored that after fighting to come together they were on the verge of losing it all. Once again these two had to find the way back to each other despite all the odds. Ann Jacobs took a couple that was at the breaking point and created a story that was worthy of this couple. In order to mend the broken, they had to risk it all and journey back to the start .
I received a copy of Promises Lost in exchange for an honest review and enjoyed reconnecting with this dynamic duo.

The Closer We Get (The Oil Barons #2) by Ann Jacobs
Reviewed for Candid Book Reviews
When I hear the name Ann Jacobs I picture stories that are steamy and will singe your clothes off. In my eyes The Closer We Get just would not have been a true Ann Jacobs book without sex appeal. What I did not expect is a story that consists of the lengths a mother will go to in order to take care of her son. She will risk her heart, body and give her very soul to help her sick child. Along the way she learns a lesson about the power of love, the ability to trust and discovers that her self-sacrificing spirit may not only heal her son but lead her to her very own happily every after. Not the typical Ann Jacobs story but just as rewarding. Received a copy of The Closer We Get in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW: CAPTURE ME (THE OIL BARONS #1) BY ANN JACOBS
Capture Me by Ann JacobsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Capture Me By Ann Jacobs was certainly hot and steamy. For that It received an A+, but where was the rest of the story? I think it needed more than just sex. This book needed an engrossing story as well. Capture Me was a good story that could have been better. Received a copy of this book for an honest review.
