A Christmas Changes Everything Isabelle Grace


   
 Description:
This Christmas, Holly and Chace are getting the best present of all – a second chance.

Holly McCade is godmother to two little girls – a role she takes very seriously. So she immediately offers to care for the twins when, three weeks before Christmas, their father is injured and their mother has to rush off to tend to him.

Only Holly won’t be handling the situation alone. The twins’ Uncle Chace, the man Holly almost married, is also coming to help.

Formerly an elite soldier, now a private security specialist, Chace Dutton is trained to deal with the toughest, scariest situations. Yet nothing has prepared him for the daunting task of sharing childcare duties with the only woman he’s ever loved.

The woman who tore his heart to shreds when she said she could never be with a man who might be killed every time he went to work.

Now, eight years later and living under the same roof, Chace and Holly are given a glimpse into how their life together might have been.

Will they have the courage to rekindle their love and grab hold of this second chance? Or is all the mistletoe for nothing?

Now,a full-length novel, A Christmas Changes Everything, was previously published as the novella Mistletoe and Holly.


My Review:
I thought this was a cute love story. Its definitely a second chance at love story with characters who are laid back and easy to follow where you feel like you are just catching up with friends. I liked Holly and Kit the sisters are to fun and I hope Kit's story will come soon cause I can see it now she is going to be a pistol. Holly was super cautious when it came to Chace but not in the annoying way but more so that she didn't want to over do laying her heart back on the line. She was fun the fun aunt with Emme and Wren and those two kept everyone on the toes for sure. Chace was one of those guys you see what you get an he's not going to hold back where you stand with him. He was such a big push over when it came to his nieces it had me laughing because it was so relatable. Overall this book was a fun read, however there is sex and strong language so may not be suitable for all.

The Getaway Emily March




Description:
Widowed young, Genevieve Prentice dedicated her life to raising her four children. Now, though, they’re all grown and scattered to the wind, and Genevieve is ready for a change. In a flash of inspiration, she puts her home on the market and heads to Lake in the Clouds, Colorado, to renovate a rustic waterfront lodge with her sister. But just as they begin, Genevieve gets the shock of a lifetime: the arrival of her son.

Jake Prentice built a career out of being dependable, one that left him perennially stressed and overworked. Finally heeding his mother’s words of wisdom, he’s quit his job and is ready to find out what truly makes him happy. And now, as he stands surrounded by open sky and fresh, pine-scented air, he’s got no regrets . . . until former colleague Tess Crenshaw appears at the lake, forcing him to reassess what—and who—he really wants.

As they work together to renovate the lodge, Genevieve and Jake embark on a heartfelt and inspiring journey to learn about themselves, each other, and the true meaning of family.

My Review:
Oh my gosh yall this book was just what I needed right now. It had the right amount of drama, love, family and who can I beat up right now( fictional of course) also the right amount of laughter. I loved Gen and Helen the sisters were thick as thieves and would make sure that Gen's four adult children did not get away with anything. I loved Helen and her no nonsense take on life you will not get anything past her that she won't call you out on if she sees fit. (we all need this in our lives lets be honest) 
Tessa was a gem she really started with nothing in life and fought to have what she has today. She had her guard up, but in a way that still allowed the right people in even if she knew they might hurt her. Now as far as Willow, Brooke, Jack and Lucas those four had me rolling my eyes. If you have siblings you know there is the boss, the peacemaker, the stubborn one/trouble maker and or maybe the silent one and I feel like this sums up the siblings. I am not sure if there is more to come from this family but I will say I want to know more about what is going on with Willow there is a secret there and was the whole book that makes you wonder just what the author has in store for her. Overall this book does have few curse words and implies sex but overall I felt like the author kept it on the clean side and I wasn't even half way through it before I started recommending it so that should tell its worth the read.

The Billionaire Cowgirl's Christmas Kris Bock




   Description:

Playing the lottery was just for fun, but with the one-billion-dollar win, life gets complicated.

It’s been nearly a year since widowed Texas Rancher Ava Tomlinsonwon the lottery. And while her four adult sons have found love, Ava feels unsettled this Christmas. She’s giving her sons more privacy, but she’s especially lonely due to a rift in her once tight circle of friends. Ava’s not anticipating a romance when a handsome, younger survey geologist arrives at the ranch to work through the holidays. He’s sexy and fun, but only offering temporary.

North Rabe’s career keeps him on the road. His plans of working through the holidays are derailed when Ava includes him in family dinners and festive plans in Last Stand. He’s quickly smitten and finally has a glimpse of a family life he lost long ago. Does he dare attempt to lay down roots? And if so, how can he convince Ava and her protective sons he’s after her heart, not her money?


My Review:

I have really enjoyed this series its been so fun reading about this family and I was so excited to read this one. I have loved Ava in every book she has the biggest heart and the kindest of spirits. She shine even more in this book but the also was a lot more vulnerable in this story. I really liked North and even though he was new to the family he did not mince words. He was a mystery for sure throughout but you could see he too had a big heart and wanted what was best for Ava and this family. I loved catching up with the boys and their women. I will say there was a comment made in the book that had nothing to do with anything if felt off and felt like the author was trying to make a political statement in a sense and it just felt like it didn't belong. Overall though I really did enjoy this book and it was a clean read and well worth the read if you haven't started reading this series I would recommend it so fun.

The Cowboy's Christmas Homecoming Sinclair Jayne


 
   Description:

She’s the one who got away, but now that this cowboy’s home for Christmas, does he have a second chance with his first love?

After years in special forces, soldier Rohan Telford has exchanged his helmet and flak jacket for his Stetson and heads home to Marietta, Montana to try to regain his place working his family’s thriving cattle ranch. He has one final task to carry out for his fallen team leader. Unfortunately, it involves facing the woman he loved but left. Rohan’s never forgotten Ginny, but she’s never forgiven him.

Following the death of her father, single mother and teacher Virginia ‘Ginny’ Lane has never felt less like celebrating the holidays. Still grieving, she’s determined to fulfill her father’s legacy and corral local volunteers to help her open the Harry’s House Annex, a teen center. She’s short on Christmas spirit and that’s before her ex–high school sweetheart Rohan Telford saunters up like twelve years and a messy break up never happened.

Virginia only remembers the bad, but Rohan’s determined to remind her of how good they still are.


My Review:
I have really enjoyed this series so far. I just got done telling someone the characters are so relatable and you feel like you are right in the story with them. The author seems to put a part in the story that really pulls are your heart strings. I also like how she is bringing awareness to soldiers coming home and how its so hard for them to just walk back into civilian life. I really loved Lucas and Mystery. I felt like even though the story was about Rohan and Ginny it was equally about Lucas and his struggles but when he would spout something off I was laughing so hard. I loved being able to catch up with the others in the series its been nice to see there stories still playing out, I really can't wait for more from this group or friends. Overall the author did keep it clean and suitable for most readers. I would say if you love small town feel this may be a quick read for you.

The Cowboy's Christmas Miracle Anne McAllister


    
Description:

The last present he expected – a nearly two-year-old son!

Deke Malone never gave a thought to having kids – until the day Zack came into his life. Now he can’t imagine not being a dad. It’s not easy, but it’s the best thing he’s ever done. It’s the hardest, too, because it takes him back to Montana for the holidays – to give his son a family and make peace with his own father if he can. He never expects to run into widow Erin Jones.

Once upon a time, when they were barely more than kids, Erin was madly in love with Deke – while he thought she was his best friend. A lot has changed in fifteen years. Erin’s a widow now, with a young family of her own and a wealth of loving memories behind her. Could she really be so lucky the second time around?

Deke thinks it’s their first real chance. Besides, it’s Christmas. And isn’t that the season of miracles . . . and love?


My Review:
Deke was a hard headed stubborn fool coming home to be with his family for the holidays he was such a fun character to read. He seem to think about what he would say and then It would come out something totally different which made for some laughs and so head slaps. Erin was more you see what you get she wore her heart on her sleeve and would do anything she can for her kids, she always seem to see the best in everyone. I liked each of the qualities about the characters because it made for a fun read. I loved the personalities of the kids those came off the pages and made you feel like you were right there watching there antics. There is adult content in this book so may no be suitable for all readers, but overall it was a fun story with that small town feel that leaves you wanting more.

The Sweetheart Crush Miranda Liasson


 
  Description:
Photographer Viv Montgomery’s dreams were bigger than her small hometown of Blossom Glen. Following them meant leaving everything and everyone behind—including her sweet and funny best friend, Logan Matthews. Now, twelve years later, the town’s “sweetheart” is back, broke, and…well, working in the town’s famous Christmas store until she figures out her next move.

Enter her former best friend who she hasn’t seen or talked to in years. Only the cute, funny guy she remembers is gone—replaced by a famous, bestselling author who seems aloof, jaded, and is much, 
much hotter than any book nerd she’s ever seen. Seeing him in the news is one thing, but up close and person? Whewf, it’s warm in here

Now he’s offered her a job she desperately needs (blissfully free of Santas), and suddenly it’s like no time has passed at all. Their friendship is just like it was…with one very unexpected difference. Because somewhere between the blossom festival and snuggling in front of a crackling fire, their friendship is definitely turning into some 
more. Only, Logan’s been hiding the secret of his enormous success…and the sweetheart of Blossom Glen is about to read all about it.

Each book in the Blossom Glen series is STANDALONE:
* The Sweetheart Deal
* The Sweetheart Fix
* The Sweetheart Crush

My Review:
I liked Viv I feel like with her it was what you see is what you get, but she struggled with some insecurities that she kept hidden from those close to her, she also didn't let them to stop her from following through helping those she loved. she was the little, big sister everyone wanted in there life. Logan was someone who I really liked from the beginning, however that did not last for me. The was a part in the book I so wanted to yell at him, however how it played out and who called him out at me laughing so hard and then he got back on my good side again. I love the relationship with the sisters I loved how close they are and how they always had each others back. I loved catching up with the other sisters as well. The author makes the characters so fun and relatable and I would say the book overall is worth the read.

Her Cowboy Christmas Hero Jeannie Watt


 
  Description:

She’s never had a true family Christmas….

As a child, Alex Woodson appeared to have it all, yet her life was an illusion. Now independent, Alex returns to the one place she was briefly happy—Marietta, Montana and starts an interior painting business. Her first client is the Keller Ranch. When Cade Keller unexpectedly arrives home, Alex promises herself she can ignore her former high school crush, who barely knew she existed. But the handsome cowboy is up in her business, flirting and tempting her with holiday activities she’s always dreamed of.

After leaving his job as an oil rig operator, Cade heads home to the family ranch for Christmas and to re-think his career. Seeing the former Woodson princess painting his family’s home is a distracting mystery he intends to solve. But the more time he spends with Alex, the more he’s intrigued.

Cade tells himself he’s just being neighborly by inviting Alex to join his family for their holiday traditions, but he’s lying. He’s falling hard—unfair with his uncertain future. Alex is wary, knowing life is never a fairytale.



My Review:
This story was a gradual build of two people starting over for two different reason while trying to find where they belong in life and who they really are. I liked how the author didn't make the relationship feel rushed or forced the characters also felt very relatable. Alex was a hard nut to crack but she also had the biggest heart. I loved her little shadow and the part she played in the story. Cade was the silent but hot cowboy who didn't put up with a lot even from his family, he stood for what was right but also takes the time to understand a situation before jumping the gun. I LOVED Henry man that guy had me laughing so hard I just really enjoyed reading about him. Overall I really enjoyed this book it was a fun read the author kept it clean so its suitable of most readers.
