My Review:

I have mix feelings with this book. I liked Wade he was an amazing dad, son and friend. He faced a lot of loss in his life but overall he truly cared for those close to him and would do anything for them. I liked Ronnie at first she was a independent and had an idea of what she wanted out of life. However towards the middle of the book It felt like the author did a 160 turn around with Ronnie and she became this broken person who just didn't see her value or worth and she came off very whiney and immature. I really liked Wade's family and Hank they were some very strong characters and really helped make this story. Overall the story was cute just dragged a little. The author did keep the story clean so will be suitable for all readers.

Kiss Me Under the Irish Sky Karen Foley

  

Description:

She’s ready for an enchanting summer on the Irish coast.

Chicago graduate student Rachel Woods is determined to complete her degree and take her place in the family textile business. But when she learns her late father once spent a summer at a traditional weaving mill in Ireland, she decides to follow in his footsteps. Rachel’s a city girl at heart, but soon finds herself falling under the spell of the Emerald Isle—and the charming man who saves her.

Conall McDermott knows all about following your dreams. He left medicine to pursue his love of running and turned that passion into a nationwide retail business. When his local trail leads him to a beautiful American woman trapped in a bog, Conall rescues her and is smitten. She wants to learn about Donegal tweed, and since his family owns the local woolen mill, he happily introduces her to the local weavers, culture, and community.

When the opportunity of a lifetime arises sooner than expected, can Rachel ignore the powerful attraction she and Conall share, or will she let him—and Ireland—weave their magic around her heart?

My Review:

I liked this story it was super cute. The author has away of making you feel like you are right there in Ireland and enjoying the journey right along with Rachel and Conall. I felt like Conall was cautiously optimistic when it came to his relationship with Rachel. He cared for her but also from past experiences he was careful. I wish there was more from him and his side I liked how he was a big family guy and truly cared and would do anything for everyone close to him. I liked Rachel I felt like she was careful to put her heart on the line because of the loss of her dad. However she strived to be the best she could for all in her life. I liked Flynn and Fiona I want to hear each one of there stories now. Overall this book was a fun read and a quick read.

A Summer Changes Everything Isabelle Grace

 

 Description:

When his wife died, Reese was sure he’d never love again... until that one summer.

Widowed horse and cattle farmer Reese Blackwood does not need a keeper. Not for himself or his two sons. They can manage just fine on their own. At least that's what he keeps telling everybody, especially himself.

Elementary school teacher Shelby Corbett is no pushover. Just ask anyone who has seen how easily she handles a classroom full of boisterous kids. So spending the summer break looking after Reese’s two energetic boys is totally within her wheelhouse.

Which shocks Reese completely.

That's only the first surprise, though. The second is the undeniable attraction that sparks between them. An attraction that's totally unexpected but becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. As she helps Reese reconnect with his boys, Shelby shines a light into his dark and lonely world, bringing hope to his broken and grieving heart.

Hope that Reese fears will be lost again when Shelby's six-week stay at Lone Oaks is over.

Unless he's willing to risk everything by asking her to stay.

Previously published by the author as Reese’s Long Hot Summer.

My Review:

This book is cute! I really loved Shelby she came into a situation and owned it like she had been there and doing it for her whole life. She was so sweet and had the biggest heart, so independent and ready to take on anything life threw at her. I liked Reese and his boys the little boys Adam and Zach were such pistols and were so fun to read the author did an amazing job with these boys jumping off the pages and had you laughing out loud with their antics. Reese was trying to find himself while he took a little to grow on me I also felt he was a good guy who only wanted what was best for his boys. I feel like if I had to sum up this book with two words is would be finding forgiveness and healing. Overall this was a fun book to read. This book does contain sexual content so may not be suitable for all readers.

Under Fire Lynn H. Blackburn

  Description:

USSS Special Agent Zane Thacker has landed his dream assignment protecting the president of the United States. When the president plans a fundraiser at the exclusive estate of a political supporter in Raleigh, Zane is thrilled to be working again with Special Agent Tessa Reed, his best friend--and the woman he desperately wishes could be more.

Though Tessa almost lost everything, she battled her demons and came out on the other side healthy and healed. But when her role as the liaison between the Raleigh office and the president's protective detail wrenches her past back into the present, her greatest failure threatens to come to light. 

Zane refuses to let Tessa go through this alone. But can he stand by the woman he loves and protect the president from a mounting threat at the same time?

Sparks fly as award-winning romantic suspense writer Lynn H. Blackburn closes out her Defend and Protect series with this explosive tale of secrets kept, lies exposed, and relationships restored.

My Review:

I really enjoyed this book. Now why its not the edge of your seat the whole books it has you on the edge of your seat sometimes. I didn't read the other books in the series but I really love this group of friends they have made themselves family. This book reminds me a lot of The O'Malley series by Dee Henderson. I Just loved how the author held nothing back with ether character, they both faced the same demon in very different ways and each tackled it head on. Tessa was a fighter and would stop at nothing to do her job and also protect the ones she loved. I loved that Both Tessa and Zaane were very strong characters neither over powered the other. Overall I really enjoyed this book the author kept it a clean read and its worth the read. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Her Cowboy Baby Daddy Jeannie Watt

  Description:

He’s always been the love ‘em and leave ‘em type, until she gives him a reason to stay.

Former cowboy Spence Keller never puts down roots, so when he’s needed back home on Keller Ranch, he drops everything to return. After a belligerent neighbor shuts off a much-needed water supply, Spence volunteers to negotiate a water lease with Hayley Parker, another neighboring ranch owner. He and shy Hayley have a history, so it should be simple, but things are made complicated when he sees Hayley, now confident, gorgeous, and armed with a counteroffer.

Ranching is in Hayley’s blood, but after her father passes, she’s lonely. Hayley's always wanted a child, but is too independent to run her ranch and raise her child with someone else. She’s exploring sperm donors when her handsome neighbor saunters into her barn with a proposition. Spence is perfect—he’s hot as hell and always has one foot out the door.

Spence is definitely up for a no-strings affair with Hayley, but father a child and walk away? Never. Can he convince Hayley that he’s ready to settle down and raise a family—with her?

My Review:

I liked this story overall, however I did find that Spence came off immature and took a little while to grow on me, he comes from a big family and so he was more of the shy kid however when he spoke his mind and he didn't like the response he would run off. Haley was the opposite she seemed to take the life she was given by the horns and tackled whatever it through at her and she was learning and growing as she went, no one or anything was going to hold her back. Overall this was a cute story, there is sexual content in this book so it may not be suitable to all readers.
