The Bachelor Contract Victoria James

  

  Description:

New mom May Peterson can’t believe she’s back in her hometown. She has eight weeks to fix up, and sell, her childhood home. Just enough to say hello to her best friend and goodbye to her painful past. But in the warm, tightly-knit community of Maple Hill, it’s impossible to avoid anyone—especially the cute “boy next door.” And while May is definitely over the idea of love, his irresistible smile still makes her toes curl…

When they were kids, Austin Merrick only ever saw May as his sister’s best friend. Over time, they’d become friends, sharing late-night chats over cheddar popcorn. Now May Peterson has returned with an adorable baby that quickly wraps him around her little finger. But after seeing the damage a broken heart can do, Austin and his brother made an agreement: to never, ever fall in love. No marriage. No kids. Ever. 

Now they’re working together to fix up her old home, and sparks of attraction are making it almost impossible to keep to their no-romance rules. But when it comes to love, hearts never play by the rules…especially when it comes to finding “the one.”

My Review:

If you have ever dealt with or know someone who has dealt with Mental illness this book will have you all up in your feeling for sure. The author did an amazing job making you feel like. you were sitting down catch up with friends I didn't read the first book in the series but still felt like I was right there watching it all play out. May was so relatable she was a survivor of her childhood but that did not stop her from fighting for what she wanted. Austin grew up so different but due to a situation in his life he built walls around his heart and sometimes if felt he was to stubborn to see what was right in front of him. I loved his family his sister Callie was no holds bar she was not going to let her brothers get away with anything. There is adult content in this book so may not be suitable for all. Overall super quick read and well worth it.

Home to River's Edge Nan Reinhardt

    

Description:

She’s determined to start a new chapter, so why is she still drawn to a man from her past?

When Jasmine Weaver, the chief of staff to a powerful D.C. congresswoman, chose integrity, she didn’t anticipate ringing in the New Year disgraced, unemployed, and sleeping in her childhood bedroom. Now back in River’s Edge, Indiana, identical triplet Jazz has her sisters’ support while she plans her next steps. She agrees to lead the committee for their high school’s fifteenth reunion, never dreaming that her co-chair is the man who broke her teenage heart.

As the new CEO of Walker Construction, Elias Walker has taken the family business to new levels of success. He’s buried himself in work to ease the grief of losing his fiancé several years earlier and wants nothing more than to be a carpenter again. Elias grudgingly agrees to co-chair the high school’s reunion committee, but when Jazz Weaver blows into town, suddenly anything seems possible.

These high school sweethearts have lived half their lives apart. Can they reinvent themselves back in the town where it all began?

My Review:

I liked this book it was pretty good. I liked that the author took a subject I am sick of reading about (politics) and threw a twist to it. I liked Eli while he was still in his grief, you saw him work on himself and through some of the grief and really grow. I first was not a fan of Jazz I found her whiney, but she did some growing up and just let herself shine in everything she did. She was goal driven, super independent she was not going to let anything stand in her way from achieving her dreams. This book does have adult content in it so it may not be suitable for all readers. Overall this book was a fun read and I really enjoyed this group of friends and family.

The Billionaire Cowboy's Proposition Kris Bock

   

Description:

She’s ready to put on the performance of a lifetime.

Cody Tomlinson and Mallory Moore have struck sparks off each other since high school theater, where she was sunny and talented while he was injured and angry. A decade later, Mallory is working to save Last Stand’s movie theater and convert it into a performance space for live theater and music. Thanks to his family’s lottery win, Cody has plenty of money to help. But Mallory’s the only woman in town who doesn’t want Cody’s charity.

It’s bad enough that Cody is sexy as sin with his tough, scarred cowboy looks. Now he’s rich and Mallory refuses to be another woman fighting for his attention. She won’t accept a financial gift for her business, but she’s not above a fair trade. Mallory offers a deal: Cody can invest in the theater if he volunteers on the renovation. Meanwhile, she’ll play the part of his fiancée to ward off fortune hunters.

But Mallory immediately realizes her mistake. Cody’s always driven her crazy, and now they’re spending all their days—and nights—together.

My Review:

I have really liked this series so far and I can't wait for Xander's story. However I was not a huge fan of Mallory she just came off really snobby and whiney. I felt like for someone who had faced a lot and who was super independent she would be more strong in her overall life. I liked Cory but he was super reserve and it seemed like he had a lot of walls to break down, that did not seem to stop him from living the best life he could. I felt like more people had a problem with it then him. I loved the teenagers in this book the author did amazing by taking a situation and using it as a teaching opportunity and how it played out in this book. Overall it was fun to catch up with this family and the author kept it clean and suitable for all readers.

Blind Trust Natalie Walters

  Description:

Lyla Fox knows she has a reputation at the SNAP Agency for impulsivity, but when she receives a threatening letter from a man she helped put in prison, she can't stop herself from going all in to find out why he's coming after her. Unfortunately, she's going to need the help of the one person who questions her reckless choices more than anyone else.

Explosives and weapons specialist Nicolás Garcia agrees to help Lyla in order to keep her safe, but her recklessness continues to be a major concern, especially when her investigation into a conspiracy puts a target on her back. Dealing with bombs is dangerous. Working with Lyla is proving to be just as treacherous--to both the mission and his heart.

Natalie Walters closes out her SNAP Agency series with a bang with this nail-biting story of a deadly government conspiracy, an unlikely couple, and an ending that will leave you breathless.

My Review:

This book was really good, I had a hard time putting down. I found the relationship with Lyla and Kekoa was so fun it had me laughing so hard in points where it should have been serious. The author throw some twist in there I was not expecting, it will defiantly keep you guessing from the beginning to the end. I really like how the relationship between this group of friends felt more like a close nit family. I really enjoyed the relationship with Lyla and family while Layla was a risk taker and super independent she had the support of all her family. The author kept this book clean and it will have you on the edge of your seat. So worth the read.

Montana Cowboy Bride Jane Porter

  

Description:

Briar Phillips was thrilled to finally find her half-brother but it's been far from smooth sailing. Single and pregnant—and hiding her pregnancy—Briar retreats to the Sundowner Ranch to figure out her next steps but isn't greeted with open arms. Older brother Cade Hunt assigns her to the kitchen and warns every ranch hand to stay away from her. But Briar rebuffs his controlling ways and finds herself drawn to Jet Manning—rugged, tough, and ten years her senior.

Former navy fighter pilot Jet Manning sacrificed everything to avenge his mother's death. His reputation, his career, and any hope for a relationship. But when Briar reveals her secret, he's compelled to help her even though Cade has made it clear that Briar is off-limits.

As Briar and Jet break down each other's walls, Cade's stays intact. The Sundowner Ranch might be the biggest in Wyoming, but it’s too small for all of them. One of them has to go…but at what cost?

My Review:

I really enjoyed this book, it was so down to earth and the author had away of making you feel like you were right there just catching up with friends. I loved how the author made the characters relatable and took two very broken people and found strength in themselves and each other. I found Briar in the beginning a little immature however as the story went she was a fighter and she would not let anyone push her around. She cared deeply for those close to her and cared just as deeply once you were in her inner circle. Jet was a hard nut to crack he kept things close to the chest but he too cared deeply and protect those close to him. I so wanted to smack Cade he was a tough guy and did not have any problem telling these two how he saw fit. I loved Emma, My Warner, and Merribee they were the best cheer leaders to anyone on the ranch they truly loved unconditionally. Overall I really enjoyed this book and there wasn't on thing I could say I didn't like. Its so worth the read.
