Scrooge You Nikki Lynn Barrett

   

 

Description:

Scrooge You! was originally written and released in December 2015. It has since been expanded and rewritten to fit into the Cinnamon Bay World. 

Sasha’s tired of being judged by the crimes her father has committed in the past. So why is it so hard for her not to judge the once popular guy in high school who’s now a rising star?

As an adolescent, Kevin Wright felt invisible. Now as a rising star, Kevin’s no longer invisible, thanks to the claims of him being a Scrooge by his ex-girlfriend. His reputation is on the line, just in time for him to return home to Cinnamom Bay for his little sister’s Christmastime wedding.

Sahsa Moretti is one bad day away from losing it all. She’s trying to survive while taking care of her ailing ex-con father. She’s never been able to fit in, and while she has big dreams, until she can figure out how to get her father into the right place, there’s not much she can do. She’s stuck in a rut, and a chance encounter just might change things.

Kevin can’t figure out why Sasha’s so cold toward him. Sasha can’t figure out why Kevin keeps hanging around. When she gets an offer she can’t easily refuse, how will the future play out with her inevitable growing feelings Kevin?

My Review:

I liked Cinnamon Bay so I was excited to read this book. I liked Sasha she was strong willed and really would stop at nothing to help her dad she has a protective wall up around her because of things that were beyond her control and while she was slow to let people in once you were in her inner circle she would do anything for you, she cared and loved deeply. I was not a huge fan of Kevin I found him for the most part of the book a bit to pushy and I was just over it, he did have a big heart and cared for those close to him. I really like Arlene she I want to know her story she was so good to Sasha and she was one of the kindest people in the book. I did like this group of friends they were a fun group to read about. Overall  this book was a fun read! There is adult content in this book so it may not be suitable for all readers.

Mail Order Cowboy Victoria James

    

Description:

Hope Roberts has a strict No Cowboys Allowed policy. Between raising her daughter, running her business, and trying to settle into her new ranch, Hope has no room for romance—especially when it comes to cowboys. What she needs is someone to help fix her ranch. But the only person to respond to her ad is the one man Hope still blames for her husband’s death…

In Wishing River, Dr. Dean Stanton is pretty much a legend. Cowboy, doctor, heir to his family’s ranching empire—everyone knows and loves him…with the exception of Hope. But Dean doesn’t trust a complete stranger to keep Hope and her daughter safe. And despite their troubled past, he’s still the best cowboy for her job.

Bit by cautious bit, Hope’s little family of two is making room for the man she once thought of as her enemy. Until one day, Dean looks like the perfect exception to her “no cowboys” rule. But he’s been keeping a secret from her that could destroy their newfound family… 

Each book in the Wishing River series is STANDALONE:
* The Trouble with Cowboys
* Cowboy for Hire
* Wishing For A Cowboy
* Mail Order Cowboy

My Review:

I really liked this book, the author does a good job and making you feel like you are right there in the middle of the town watching everything play out almost as you are part of the friend group. I love books like this and also don't like them because in the end I want more and it's over. She takes two very broken character for very different reasons and sets them on a path to finding healing and forgiveness, which just like in real like is never all that easy. I really like Hope she was a fighter and I loved her daughter Sadie, Sadie has this big heart for such a small kid and she seems so wise beyond her years she really taught these two adults a lot without even knowing or trying. I like Dean even though there were a few time I wanted to slap him up side his head and tell him to get it together. I loved the friend group, I feel like we all need friends in out lives like this group they call each other out and they hold nothing back. Over all this book was a really good read and I would say worth it. I will say this book does contain talk about emotional and verbal abuse so it may be hard for some to read but don't let that stop you its very much worth it. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Honor Bound Hallee Bridgeman

 

  Description:

It may seem odd to seek peace by moving to a war-torn African country, but for medical missionary Dr. Cynthia Myers, it provided a way to escape a shallow life of unearned wealth, a philandering fiancé, and a father now square in the public eye as vice president of the United States. At least here she knows her work and life have meaning. But all that is thrown into chaos when she fails to save the life of a local warlord's mortally wounded son.

As part of the Army Special Forces "A-Team" on a mission to capture and subdue the warlord, Captain Rick Norton is compelled to use deadly force to save Cynthia's life. Enraged at the violence she witnessed and riddled with guilt that men died because of her, Cynthia tries to hold on to her anger--but an unwanted attraction is taking hold.

With two members of his team badly injured and rebels in hot pursuit, Rick will have to draw upon all his strength and cunning to get her out alive . . . because he's beginning to think they just might overcome their differences and be able to make a life together.

My Review:

This is a new to me author and I was not disappointed. This book will have you on the edge of your seat one minute to watching the characters try and find healing. The first half of this book will have you on the edge of your seat why the second portion of the book slows things down a little and has you on another journey with the characters. I want so much more of Ozzy's story I feel like that story is going to be gut wrenching. I liked Rick a lot he was a strong character with determination for his friends and his country. He did not have a hero complex but stayed humble while doing what he loved. I liked Cynthia, in the beginning she felt like she needed to grow up a little bit but she too had a heart for those less fortunate and worked hard to become a better person while making the world a better place. Over all the author kept this book a clean read and it was well worth it. Can't wait to read more about these characters.
