THE CHRISTMAS SECRET (CHERRY LAKE CHRISTMAS)

BY JEANNIE WATT

 

 

Release Date:  November 5, 2015

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Trapped in a cabin in a raging blizzard with the one man on earth who could turn her world upside down…this Christmas holiday was not playing out at all the way Lil Reynolds had planned. Not even close.

When Lil’s former fiancé chose to marry on Christmas Eve—the day he and Lil had planned to marry one year ago—she knew she had to get out of town for the holidays. Heading to the isolated family cabin seemed like the perfect solution, until the blizzard came…and a man showed up at her door in the heart of the storm. Casey Lanigan. Her ex-fiancé’s brother. A man with whom she shared a secret summer romance many years ago. A man who’d betrayed her trust. A man who, despite everything, still made her heart beat a little harder…

So much for a Lanigan-free holiday.

REVIEW: CATCH ME (STEELE BROTHERS #1) BY JENNIFER PROBST

 

Catch Me (1Night Stand, #89; Steele Brothers, #1)Catch Me by Jennifer Probst

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Have just finished reading Catch Me. Jennifer Probst has created a story that is a little bit darker than some of the books I have read previous. Tara uses sex as a way to escape a hurtful past. It allows her for a moment to feel wanted and experience human tough but it also gives her the chance to set boundaries in other areas of her life. Rick is seeking companionship as well as a chance to move on from a heartbreaking betrayal. What started out purely physical became a bond that ended up stronger than either one expected. I received a copy of Catch Me in exchange for an honest review. Catch me is a book that uses inner struggle, steamy situations and precise wondering to tell a story of facing fears and making difficult choices on the pathway to becoming a better and stronger person.

READ AND REVIEW

 

ONE CHRISTMAS WISH (HEART OF THE ROCKIES NOVELLA)  

BY SARA RICHARDSON

 

 

Release Date:  November 3, 2015

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

'TIS THE SEASON FOR SECOND CHANCES . . .

 

There's nothing like a Christmas wedding to warm a girl's heart-or to distract everyone else from the fact that one particular bridesmaid intends to quickly skip town. Julia Noble's accident was years ago, and she's tired of being overprotected. She needs to be on her own. But before she flees Aspen, Colorado, Julia wants to make sure her brother has the perfect wedding and all her ducks are in a row. Yet duty soon turns to pleasure when three days before the big day Julia runs into the only man she ever dreamed of marrying.

Fresh out of the navy, Isaac Nash just wants to feel normal again. But starting his new life means winning back the girl who captured his heart years ago. Isaac didn't know the truth behind the tragedy that changed Julia's life forever, and he can't stop blaming himself for not being there for her. After all this time, he knows that Julia is what he wants, this and every Christmas. Now Isaac just has to convince her that she's earned a miracle, too . . .

REVIEW:    ONE CHRISTMAS WISH (HEART OF THE ROCKIES NOVELLA)  

BY SARA RICHARDSON

 

One Christmas Wish (Heart of the Rockies, #2.5)One Christmas Wish by Sara Richardson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This story made me really emotional. Julia could have easily been bitter about all that she had to face within her young life. Yet she handled the obstacles put before her with strength and optimism. In fact she dealt with it better than those around her. Her courage is what I believe help Isaac to face his own issues. Her gentle spirit and kind heart made her resilience all the more incredible and is what was most inspiring about this novel. I have read exactly two stories by Sara Richardson. Something Like Love and One Christmas Wish. Her ability to write inspiring characters is a beautiful facet of her storytelling. Requested an ARC of One Christmas Wish from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Melting Into You (Falcon Football, #3)Melting Into You by Laura Trentham

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Alec had his world changed in an instant. In that one second he lost something he had dedicated his whole life to. The people he trusted, the sport he loved all let him down. Who wouldn't be bitter. So he retreats to the place he left behind. Lilianna returns home to deal with family matters and decides to make it a permanent move. A change of career, starting a new business and coming face to face with a blast from the past is all a part of small town living.

I requested an ARC of Melting into You from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This story moved me in a number of ways. It is a story about appreciating the opportunities that are opened. People change, circumstances change but the beauty of life is that there are always new directions to explore. Great read.

THE BAD BOY CEO BY SUGAR JAMISON

 

 

Release Date:  November 3, 2015

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Colt King has spent his whole life trying to prove he's not the trash his hometown of Destiny, Nevada, thought he and his brothers were. As soon as he was old enough he left town, vowing to make a name for himself and never looking back at the place that looked down on him. But that plan goes out the window when his ailing elderly aunt asks him to come home.

He begrudgingly returns to help the woman who raised him. But he's no longer the poor kid from the bad part of town. He's the ruler of a custom car empire and a financial genius. He arrives expecting a boring stay, but when he walks into his childhood home to find a woman in nothing but her underwear pointing a shotgun at his face, he knows his trip home will be a memorable one. With his aunt sick and forcing him to help her restore her fledgling hair salon, he has more than enough on his plate. Colt has no idea that her sexy tenant, Zanna, is going to be the cause of his many sleepless nights.

Zanna Jacobs came to the ghost town of Destiny to stay out of trouble and stay the hell away from men. She's got a serious thing for bad boys that's she trying to kick, and when she lays her eyes on the brutishly handsome Colt, she knows he's got bad news written all over him. He's not the typical thug she goes for: He's too clean cut, too good looking, and too cold--and when he comes to take over her salon, she's not going to take it. Zanna decides to show him exactly who the boss is. Colt is used to people following his orders, and when Zanna challenges his every word he finds her infuriating and incredibly sexy. He can't keep his hands off her...and knows that once he returns to Las Vegas, all bets are off...

REVIEW:  THE BAD BOY CEO BY SUGAR JAMISON

 

The Bad Boy CEOThe Bad Boy CEO by Sugar Jamison

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Bad Boy CEO is an amazing story. I requested an ARC of Sugar Jamison's novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed meeting the King brothers. The school of hard knocks taught them growing up that they could only rely on each other. Duke, Colt and Levi used the lessons learned from a dark childhood and have become successful business men. I am so hoping Ms. Jamison makes a series out of these brothers. Any story centered around brooding sexy males would be worth a look. Throughout the story there were hints of a series so I hope it will be followed through.

The Bad Boy CEO is the middle brother, Colt's story. In no way could Colt be describe as wearing his heart on his sleeve. He keeps his emotions stored away and focuses on making money for the business he and his brothers own. The human calculator (my nickname for Colt) uses work to escape all the pain from his past. Zanna has endured her share of heartache. In order to make a fresh start she left the past behind and moved on literally. New location, new people everything was going fine until Colt comes along and upends everything. Sugar Jamison is an author that is on the verge of big things. She took a story of heartbreak and bitterness and turned it into a sweet, sexy, gutsy novel that is just as filled with laughter as it is tears. I loved it.

Bella and the BeastBella and the Beast by Olivia Drake

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Bella and The Beast is an adventurous read that intermingles with a burgeoning love story. Olivia Drake did an exquisite job with her descriptive writing. It makes the story so much more enjoyable because the reader feels like they are a part of the story and experiencing the exotic locations first hand. I was even a fan of Bella. Determined to provide for her siblings she did not sit back and wait to be rescued. She took charge and went to any means necessary. Strong female characters are a great asset to any story. I did not like the love story. It came across forced and rushed. I received an ARC of Bella and the Beast from NetGalley. For anyone who has an adventurous spirit this is the book that will satisfy that craving.

There is nothing sexier than a man with a big heart who is not afraid to show a sensitive side, loves wholeheartedly and feels deeply. I think my description fits Carter to perfection.

REVIEW:  HEARTSONG COTTAGE (ETERNITY SPRINGS #10) BY EMILY MARCH

 

Heartsong Cottage: An Eternity Springs NovelHeartsong Cottage: An Eternity Springs Novel by Emily March

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It is very rare that a story comes along and rips your heart right out of your chest. Heartsong Cottage was that story for me. Having to pick yourself up after losing a child the way Daniel did. Not having any closure that practically gutted me. What was miraculous is that he took that horrible event and created something beautiful. Heartsong Cottage is full of so much heartbreak. I wouldn't wish what Daniel and Shannon went through on my worst enemy. If you think Heartsong Cottage is a tearjerker, it is. However, this read is more than just pain and tears. It is a story of courage in the face of heartbreak. It is a story of healing and helping others to do the same. Emily March has written a story that is believable and real, that's what makes it so scary to think about. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW:  TAKE THE STORM (RISING STORM EPISODE #6)

 Take The Storm (Rising Storm #6)Take The Storm by Rebecca Zanetti

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Every parent finds it hard to let go. Marisol is having an even harder time. Especially considering that she is raising her siblings. There has been so much turmoil in her life that she is scared to take chances. Can Patrick convince her he is worth taking a risk on? There is always a hidden revelation waiting to be discovered. I am really getting into this series. Will be sad to see it end. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

SYNOPSIS

 

Can one wild night in Vegas become a lifetime of domestic bliss?

Liliana Merrill learned to love the rodeo with her ranching family. Now heading their stock operations, she attends an event where she gets the ride of her life from the sexiest bull rider she’s ever seen. But one pregnancy test later, she discovers that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there…

Up-and-coming Brazilian bull rider Adriano Silva has been careful to avoid entanglements during his time in America. The money’s great, the fame fun, and the ladies enticing, but he plans to head home once he’s won a championship. That is, until he gets a call from the one woman who tempted him like no other…

Lil is determined to raise the baby on her own. Adriano is resolved to be the father he never knew. He’ll show Lil he’s got what it takes to tame her—if she doesn’t tame him first…

REVIEW: HER BULL RIDER'S BABY (A COWBOY OF HER OWN #2)

BY GENEVIEVE TURNER

 

Her Bull Rider's BabyHer Bull Rider's Baby by Genevieve Turner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Liliana and Adriano have to face off against a lot. Heritage, pride, careers and a surprise pregnancy are just a few of the obstacles they are faced with. Although I am relatively new to Ms. Turner as an author, the stories that I have read by her are centered around a family unit that works, loves and grows together. The common denominator is love. Whether familial love or romantic love the lessons learned play a part in shaping the dynamic of this ranching family. I received an ARC of this story is exchange for an honest review.

SYNOPSIS

When love comes calling, never say never...

What's a guy to do when a damsel in distress lands in his arms, literally, on Christmas Eve? Dr. Alex Cortes doesn't want company on this particular holiday, especially after the life-changing event that shakes his resolutions. Seeking time alone to sort things out, the last thing he needs is a sassy, enticing distraction like blonde beauty Georgiana Kincaid who knocks him off kilter.

Georgie had planned for a picture-perfect Christmas Eve with a holiday dress and a lavish celebration dinner with her boyfriend. But when the cad unexpectedly dumps her, she has nowhere to go. After driving for hours, her car stalls out in front of gorgeous, exotic Dr. Alex Cortes' beachfront home in the midst of a rainstorm.

As the two embattled hearts come together on a very special night, they bare their souls. Will bad boy billionaire Alex let the wayward angel weave her magic? Or will he run when he finds out her true Christmas wish? It might take a Christmas miracle for love to win.

REVIEWKISSED BY YOU (TROPICAL HEAT #3) BY SOPHIA KNIGHTLY

Kissed by You (Tropical Heat, #3)Kissed by You by Sophia Knightly

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I discovered Sophia Knightly surprisingly through a free e-book. Knew right away I had to read the next book in the series, so I purchased it. The irony of it is that the first book I ever read by her was book one in the Tropical Heat series. The sense of adventure, the steamy love story and the mystery of Wild For You lead me to the next book in the series Sold on You. I loved that book so much I had to purchase it for all of my e-readers. Hard to believe that Kissed by You is book 3. I love that she took Christmas and built a story of tragedy, disappointment, love and healing around it. Made the element of romance all the more irresistibly sweet. Working through painful memories and heartbreaking events at anytime is never easy but Ms. Knightly uses a holiday synonymous with forgiveness, miracles and healing makes for a poignant backdrop.
Kissed by You is a powerful read that is a welcome edition to any romantic library. I received an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Take the Storm - Episode 6 - Cover

Rising Storm Episode 6 (Oct. 29): Rebecca Zanetti’s Take the Storm

Amazon **iBooks ** Barnes & Noble ** GooglePlay

 

 Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy...

Nestled among rolling hills and painted with vibrant wildflowers, the bucolic town of Storm, Texas, seems like nothing short of perfection.

 

But there are secrets beneath the facade. Dark secrets.  Powerful secrets. The kind that can destroy lives and tear families apart.  The kind that can cut through a town like a tempest, leaving jealousy and destruction in its wake, along with shattered hopes and broken dreams. All it takes is one little thing to shatter that polish.

 

Reading like an on-going drama in the tradition of classic day and night-time soap operas like Dallas, Dynasty, and All My Children, Rising Storm is full of scandal, deceit, romance, passion, and secrets.

 

With 1001 Dark Nights as the “producer,” Julie Kenner and Dee Davis use a television model with each week building on the last to create a storyline that fulfills the promise of a drama-filled soap opera. Joining Kenner and Davis in the “writer’s room” is an incredible group of New York Times bestselling authors such as Lexi Blake, Elisabeth Naughton, Larissa Ione, Rebecca Zanetti and Lisa Mondello who have brought their vision of Storm to life.

 

A serial soap opera containing eight episodes in season one, the season premiere of Rising Storm, TEMPEST RISING, debuted September 24th with each subsequent episode releasing consecutively this fall.

So get ready.  The storm is coming.

REVIEW:  FALLING DIRTY (SEALS UNDONE) BY ZOE YORK

 

Falling Dirty is a quick, sexy and yes DIRTY read.  The perfect way to experience the guiltiest of pleasures.  Zoe York will have you burning up from the inside.  I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.  This read will get the motor running but for me it was lacking in story despite the sex appeal.
