A FRIENDLY ARRANGEMENT (FRIENDS FIRST #2) BY CHRISTINE WARNER

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

What happens when your plus one becomes "the one"?

Holly Haggerty and Roth Esterly are two besties with everything in common--they're neighbors, career-driven, and commitment-phobes. Tired of always being set up on dates by well-meaning friends and family, they take matters into their own hands: they will be the other's plus one--a little friendly arrangement between friends.

Easy…until a steamy night where they cross the line. But that's okay, they'll add an addendum--one that includes a little action between the sheets…on top of the sheets…and without the sheets. But there are rules. Dating and sex are exclusive until one of them decides to terminate the agreement. No slumber parties. And if either party becomes emotionally involved they will break things off with no hard feelings.

When unexpected news changes their plans and turns their fun arrangement into something more serious, Holly and Roth must come to terms with what's more important--what they thought they wanted, or what they really need.

A Friendly Arrangement (Friends First, #2)A Friendly Arrangement by Christine Warner

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Everyone saw it but them. That should have been the name of the story. Heck, I saw it from their first interaction. I received an ARC of A Friendly Arrangement in exchange for an honest review. All while I was reading this story I was thinking, been there done that. Nothing surprised me from how they began to where they ended up. Christine Warner did a good job with a scenario that was obvious to any reader.

PLAYING WITH FIRE (TANGLED IN TEXAS #2) BY ALISON BLISS

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Nothing ignites a fire like the perfect match…

Anna Weber is every inch the proper librarian--old-fashioned, conservatively dressed right down to her tightly clipped flaming red hair. She's just moved to a small Texas town, and is determined to spend time with her friend before she has to disappear. Relationships aren't easy for her. She knows too well what it means to be burned. And the last thing she ever wants to do is fall in love…

Especially not with a fireman who's hot enough to set the entire state of Texas on fire.

Cowboy can't resist the fiery little librarian, and he's determined to make her his. Beneath that prim-and-proper exterior is a woman he very much wants to know--if she'd let him. She'll test his patience. His control. Hell, his very sanity. And for the first time, Cowboy wonders if he's found the one fire he can't control...

Playing With FirePlaying With Fire by Alison Bliss

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Playing with Fire is a roller-coaster ride I can't wait to experience again. Alison Bliss brought a blend of comedy to an intriguingly sexy read. Ms. Bliss created a world that was unique. The characters had me wondering what would happen next? Am I going to be blindsided? I would have probably enjoyed it more if I had read the first book in the series. Will be doing that before I reread Playing With Fire. Surprising characters, sultry chemistry and wonderful writing make this a story not to be missed.

One Christmas can change your life...

Kyle Houseman believes he'll never find anyone he could love as much as Olivia Arnold, who's now married to his stepbrother.

He's determined to be extra careful about the next woman he gets involved with—which is why he fights his attraction to the beautiful stranger who rents his farmhouse for the Christmas holiday.

Lourdes Bennett is a country music artist. She's only planning to stay in Whiskey Creek long enough to write the songs for her next album—the album that's going to put her back on top. Her dreams don't include settling in a town even smaller than the one she escaped. But as she comes to know Kyle, she begins to wonder if she'd be making a terrible mistake to leave him behind.

 Some Guys Need a Lot of Lovin' (Outback Heat, #3)Some Guys Need a Lot of Lovin' by Amy Andrews

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



It was clear from the start that Marcus and Juanita had a deep connection. In Some Guys Need a Lot of Lovin', Amy Andrews tackles emotional subjects. Marcus is dealing with the traumatic aftermath of a horribly heartbreaking experience. Juanita is looking for a way to escape the stresses brought on by her job. A chance encounter leads to something more until the outside world intrudes. Some Guys Need a Lot of Lovin' is a story that has an uplifting message. I experienced a ton of emotions but Marcus made it all worthwhile. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Hope Springs on Main Street (Briar Creek, #3)Hope Springs on Main Street by Olivia Miles

My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars


I am a strong believer in strength of character. No individual knows how they will handle a situation until they have to face it head on. Jane is my hero. She dealt with a major JA for years and then was tossed aside like trash. This is a woman that had the rug pulled from under her yet she handled it with grace and strength. She learned from her past mistakes and with the help of an old friend may find a new chance at love. Hope Springs on Main Street is a story that is not always sunny but just like Jane leaves you feeling stronger for reading it. This is my first read by Olivia Miles and I am so grateful to have discovered her work. Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Every Little Kiss by Kim Amos is a fun, light and sexy read. A woman searching for a good time. A playboy that wants to show her one. Casey came across a running away from her responsibilities. Abe was the good time guy. Always ready to have fun. What I found really amazing is by the end of the story the playboy wanted stability and the usually responsible Casey wanted anything but to be tied down. With identifiable characters Kim Amos created a read that is unforgettable.

Something Like Love (Heart of the Rockies)Something Like Love by Sara Richardson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I have not had the pleasure of reading the previous book in this series. If I had maybe I would have learned more about the history of Ben and Paige's relationship. I enjoyed them as a couple. There was more going on underneath Paige's resistance. Paige is scared to open herself up to more hurt. Her relationships whether romantic or familial have consisted of her being labeled a disappointment and I believe she has taken those words to heart. In her mind she can't disappoint anyone else if she pushes them away. Ben would not have been my choice of her rescuer but he ended up surprising me. Something Like Love takes a look at the fragility of the heart and the power love has to mend it. I am going to read book one as soon as I can.

Welcome to the Land of Bourbon and Bluegrass…welcome to Bourbon Springs, Kentucky…

CiCi Summers, the Craig Circuit Court Clerk, knows all and sees all when it comes to Bourbon Springs gossip. She doesn’t fancy herself becoming a news item on the local grapevine but finds it hard to resist the new master distiller at Old Garnet.

Walker Cain is handsome, polite, professional and a little nerdy. But he’s also divorced, and even though he claims it was amicable and no kids were involved, CiCi has a rule: she doesn’t date divorced guys, due to her own painful history stretching back to her childhood.

But CiCi can’t resist Walker’s sweetly nerdly charms as well as his more sensual skills when it comes to what happens in the bedroom. Yet their relationship is tested when none other than Walker’s ex-wife is hired by Old Garnet as the distillery’s new heritage director, a newly-created position to help the distillery achieve National Historic Landmark status and promote the business.

Walker knows it is completely over with his ex-wife. What she did destroyed his trust and their marriage. But how can he convince CiCi he’s made his choice—and that it’s her?

Distiller’s Choice is the fourth book in the Bourbon Springs Series, a nine-book series of smooth, sensual, sexy, slow-burn contemporary romances set amidst the lush and rolling Land of Bourbon and Bluegrass of central Kentucky.

REVIEW:  DISTILLER'S CHOICE(THE BOURBON SPRINGS #4)

BY JENNIFER BRAMSETH

 

Distiller's Choice (Bourbon Springs, #4)Distiller's Choice by Jennifer Bramseth

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Have been following this series from the very first book. I love how Ms. Bramseth takes small town living and blends it with big city problems. The characters are dealing with issues that can be faced anywhere just on a smaller scale. The thing I enjoy most about The Bourbon Springs collection is that Jennifer Bramseth writes it in a way that allows the reader to pick up right where the previous story left out. Yes, the stories center around the making and selling of liquor but at the heart of the story are characters that have lived through heartbreak, love and tragedy. That depth is what makes these books so great. Distiller's Choice is the latest in a captivating series. Received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

A TASTE OF SAKE (THE NAPA WINE HEIRESSES #4)

BY HEATHER HEYFORD

 

SYNOPSIS

 

As author Heather Heyford pours a final glass in her series following three Napa wine heiresses, a newcomer must work her way into a tightly-knit family whose bond has been fermenting for years…

Though they each have their own ambitions and are known to be competitive—even with each other—the St. Pierre sisters are fiercely loyal. Chardonnay and Merlot are thrilled about Sauvignon’s wedding day, and it’s slated to be the soirée of the decade among Napa’s most elite residents. Given the family’s notoriety, it almost stands to reason that their eccentric father, Xavier, would arrive by helicopter. But no one could have anticipated the wedding surprise he’d brought along with him…

The product of one of Xavier’s many affairs, Sake is introduced as the half-Japanese sister the St. Pierre girls never knew they had. She struggles to break into clique-ish Napa society—and getting in with her sisters is proving more difficult than nabbing a ’74 Cabernet. It seems only high-end realtor Bill Diamond can tell there’s more to Sake than meets the eye. Afraid of repeating her mother’s mistakes, Sake just hopes that getting drunk on love won’t leave her with a hangover of rejection…

A Taste of Sake (The Napa Wine Heiresses, #4)A Taste of Sake by Heather Heyford

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Sake was a very memorable character. A product of a sordid affair she carries the heritage of two cultures on her shoulders. This young woman endures so much hurt and shame in her life she struggles with her true identity. This proves even more difficult when she is thrusts into the public eye as the secret love child of a wealthy vineyard owner. In order to find her future, she has to face her past. What I like most about this story is that nothing came easy for Sake she has had to fight for everything but doing so has given her a deep appreciation for others and helped her to become the strong woman who learns to face her fears. I received an ARC of A Taste of Sake by Heather Heyford in exchange for an honest review. A romance that proves deeper than a love story it is also a story about a woman learning how to love herself and accept all that makes her unique.

Release Date:  October 27, 2015

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Together they may create a scandal worthy of the stage, but can their love last after the final curtain falls…?

 

Successful playwright Maggie Delamere has no interest in the flirtations of noblemen like Cameron, Viscount Marwood. She once paid dearly for a moment of weakness…and vows to rebuff the wildly persistent—and irritatingly handsome—scoundrel at every turn. But when pressure to deliver a new play hampers her creativity, an invitation to use his country estate as a writer’s retreat is too tempting to resist....

 

For years, Cam has admired Maggie’s brilliant work and he can’t pass up the opportunity to discover if the beautiful, mysterious playwright is as passionate and clever as the words that flow from her quill. He’s never offered a lady his bed without being in it, but if it means loosening Maggie’s pen—and her inhibitions—he’ll do exactly that.

 

But soon Cam’s plans for seduction become a fight for Maggie’s heart. He’s more than the scandalous, carefree rake society believes him to be…and she’s the only woman who has ever noticed.

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars


I am really enjoying reading stories where the female characters are just as central to the canvas as the male ones. Within Scandal Takes the Stage, Eva Leigh constructed a character that is focused, brave and heroic. I don't want to give away the story. What I will say is that being true to the heart is what I took away from this. The value of following your dreams can be rewarding.

Seized by LoveSeized by Love by Melissa Foster

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


There are so many aspects that I love about Melissa Foster's novels that it would be too hard listing them all. Of course the love story is a plus. Seized By Love introduces Lizzie and Blue. Lizzie is a woman who has lots of love to give but responsibilities throughout her life have caused her to turn inward and rely on herself to look after her loved ones. When Blue looks at Lizzie he sees a women who is in need of TLC. He wants to take care of her and show her she does not have to do everything alone. Melissa Foster got right to the heart of the story from the first page. Seized by Love is about learning that hardships don't have to be faced alone. It's okay to ask for help and to open up and let love in. As with all of her books Ms. Foster created a love story that was sweet and emotional. I like that she also created a character that put family first.

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.

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)

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.
