Meet Me in River's Edge Nan Reinhardt


     
Description:

He ticks every one of her “never again” boxes…

Jo Weaver loves her job as a boat mechanic for her family’s marina in River’s Edge, Indiana. But when she’s pulled away from her high school reunion with her sisters to fix a stranded yacht, she can’t restrain her irritation. Jo doesn’t like wealthy men who think they can have whatever they want, and she has no intention of falling for rich and charming again.

Born into the international Briggs Hotels empire, Alex Briggs has never felt comfortable with his life of privilege. Abandoning his family’s business to pursue medical research, he’s far more at home in his lab. When the yacht he restored himself breaks down on the way to an important conference, Alex begrudgingly goes in search of a boat mechanic and falls, literally, into Jo Weaver’s arms. The fireworks he feels are impossible to ignore.

Jo does her best to keep Alex in the business zone, but he keeps slipping into something more. Can she trust her fragile heart, especially when Alex and his life-altering research are so far from River’s Edge?


My Review:
Jo was a spit fire, there was not wondering where you stood with her, she thought it she said it. Because of her past she also had a huge wall up, What I liked that the author did with this situation she didn't make it so that whole book was about her walls breaking down or impossible to get through but how Jo can grow or grew. Alex was a fun character while he did keep some at arms length he also had no problem pushing Jo's buttons to get to know the real her. The author has a character go through something and I thought for sure the situations was going one way and that was not how it went and I really am glad with the twist it just super fit way better then where I thought it was going. I liked also that the author kept it clean so it would be suitable for all readers. I also really enjoyed both Alex family and Jo's but I think hands down my favorite character is Rich he was so fun and had me laughing. Overall this was a fun book and worth the read.

A Baby for the Billionaire Cowboy Kris Bock


     
Description:

This runaway bride needs a fresh start.

After falling unexpectedly pregnant, Daisy Taylor barely had a moment to think. The baby’s father proposed, her parents rushed the wedding, and Daisy fled the altar. She runs away to Last Stand, Texas, to stay with her aunt and arrives in time for a fundraising ball—where her wedding dress blends in—and dances with a handsome stranger. He seems sweet and kind, and when Daisy later secures employment as an assistant at a nearby ranch, she’s pleased to see the man again. But she’s humiliated that he doesn’t recognize her.

The youngest of his siblings, Xander Tomlinson is still uncomfortable with his family’s unexpected lottery win. He prefers a quiet and peaceful life on the ranch caring for creatures in need. When his mother hires an office assistant, Xander is immediately protective of Daisy and her ever-growing belly.

Daisy won’t take charity and Xander struggles to fight his attraction to Daisy who, as an employee, is off-limits. As their friendship teeters on the edge of becoming more and the baby’s father starts making demands, will Xander learn that some things are worth fighting for?


My Review:
I liked this book. This brother seems like he was the "forgotten" brother only because he was the quietest of the bunch but he did so much behind the scenes for his family to keep things going. The one thing I noticed and I liked in this series is the author found a strength for each person and they excelled instead of making the brothers jealous of each other and their strengths. What I liked about Xander was that he was so kind, respectful, and had the biggest heart but he was always growing and learning. I liked Daisy she was going to do anything to protect her baby and those she loved. She was a fighter for sure! I think throughout the series my favorite character has been Ava. I did like being able to catch up with the other characters from the other books I forgot how much of pistol Carly was. Overall I just really enjoyed this one and I am not sure if more is to come from this group but if not this end the series on a wonderful note. The author did keep the book fairly Clean and its a super quick easy read.
