THIS TIME, THEY'RE NOT JUST FIGHTING FIRE.

An original series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips.

My Review:

Buckle up y'all, are in for a wild ride with this one! So you know how with some books you are just waiting for the build up to just get there, yeah that's not the case with this one. This author comes out of the gates and did not disappoint. This is a new to me author and I am so ready for more. This is one of those books where you are like what is going to happen next. I really like Sophia she was a true fighter and did not really realize it till she was faced with the impossible. Houston was one of the stubborn characters where you just were not sure if you wanted to kick him or hug him. There is one character in the book I want to know what happens with but I really hope that this person comes back in other books in the series and this is not the end of it. Overall I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down, its well worth the read.

Protect Me Not Natasha Anders


 

 Description:
Some temptations are just not worth the complication.

Victoria Hollingsworth does not need a surly, uncommunicative bodyguard cramping her style, following her everywhere, and intimidating any would-be male callers. She’s a florist for goodness sake, not a princess or a pop star. Having a massive, mysterious bodyguard always hovering is an inconvenience. And yet… there he is, Tyler Chambers, her unwanted protector, ultra-serious, no-nonsense, and off-the-charts hot. Vicki doesn’t want, or need, him as a bodyguard. Yet, disturbingly, he may be everything she wants, and needs, in a man.

Ty hates his current long-term assignment. It’s mind-numbingly tedious. Vicki Hollingsworth is a pain in the butt who talks too much, laughs a lot, and frequently tests his patience. And her life isn’t exactly filled with intrigue and action. Ty is ready for this job to be over. He has just a couple of months left before reassignment. He’s mere weeks away from being out of here. The last thing he needs is to find his cute-as-a-button charge irresistibly attractive. She’s not his type. Wholesome, adorable, and sweet, Vicki is the kind of woman who needs long-term commitment. And all Ty has to offer is a few short weeks of far-from-wholesome pleasure.

How much chaos can one little florist introduce into his regimented life? Ty is about to find out.

My Review:
I feel like this book wasn't for me. I just felt like there was too much of the same miscommunication throughout the book. I liked Victoria while she was rich she just came of a grounded down to earth girl. I liked Linda and Josh they seemed so genuine and just great friends to Vicki. Ty had issues and he just came off like a jerk some times he overall was ok but I felt like all the push and pull was just a little to dramatic and would have like to see it go another way. This book does contain adult language and erotic scenes may not be suitable for all. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Deadly Target Elizabeth Goddard


 
 Description:
Criminal psychologist Erin Larson's dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving missing persons cold cases.

Nathan Campbell's father was investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to enlist Erin's help to solve the case. She's good at what she does. The only problem? She's his ex.

As the two dig deeper, it becomes clear that they, too, are being targeted--and that the answers to their questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and longs to forget.

The race is on for the truth in this gripping and complex tale of suspense, intrigue, and murder from USA Todaybestselling author Elizabeth Goddard.

My Review:
This author did not disappoint with this book. I could not put this book down from page one till the end. It defiantly started off with a twist and the author kept them coming from start to finish. I really liked Erin she was a fighter and she loves hard and cares for those close to her. I liked Nathan as well he Loved his dad and would do anything for him including getting to the bottom of who's after him and those he loves. I liked that even in the end when you finally have an idea of who did it that author those you a curve ball you didn't see coming and leaves you wanting so much more. Overall this book was well worth the read, its a clean read and will not disappoint. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Matched and Married Kathleen Fuller


 

 Description:

Neither Margaret nor Owen has any interest in getting married. But in the small Amish town of Birch Creek, where marriage is on everyone’s mind, their plans don’t stand a chance.

Margaret Yoder can’t seem to catch a break. Even though she’s dedicated to her Amish faith, her wild rumspringa won’t stay in the past, and her mother keeps pressuring her to get married. To placate her mother and get away from former “friends”, she decides to return to Birch Creek to visit family—and pretend to find a husband.

Like Margaret, Owen Bontrager isn’t looking for a spouse, something that’s hard to avoid in Birch Creek, where an ad for brides in the local paper has brought a swarm of single women to the thriving town. When he meets Margaret in an unexpected way, they discover they have more in common than they ever expected. In some ways, they are a perfect match.

Margaret struggles to keep her goal of avoiding romance in order to focus on being a faithful member of the Amish church, and it doesn’t help that she finds Owen intriguing. Knowing they don’t have a future together; she returns home and gives in to her mother’s insistence that she get married.

Can Margaret betray her feelings for Owen and become a dutiful daughter and wife to the man of her mother’s choosing? Or will Owen find a way to free Margaret of her past by giving her the future they both are surprised to find they desire?


My Review:
At first I had a hard time getting into this book however that didn't last long. I feel like this books is for  all the ages it teaches some much of what matters in life, forgiveness and finding healing even when Life just doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. I liked Owen while he was a workaholic and is learning to take life at a slower pace he still seems to be wise beyond his years and yet still torn between young adult and being grown up. I feel like Margaret had a lot of growing up to do from beginning to the end of the book but I feel that the way the author told the story and allowed Margaret's life choices to play just made sense overall. This book is a good clean read and can be enjoyed by all. I am not sure if there is more to come but it would be interesting to see what does happen next based on the end of the book.

The Chase Lisa Harris



Description:
US Marshal Madison James may not be sure who shot her three months ago, but she does know one thing--it's time to get back out into the field. When her partner, Jonas Quinn, receives a message that a federal warrant just came in on a man connected to a string of bank robberies, Madison jumps at the chance to get back to work. What she and Jonas find is a bank robbery in progress that's gone wrong--and things are about to get worse.

For these bank robbers, it's never been just about the money. It's about taking risks and adrenaline rushes, and getting caught is not part of the game. When the suspects escape, Madison and Jonas must hunt them down and bring them to justice before someone else--someone close to them--gets hurt . . . or worse.

From Seattle to the San Juan Islands, bestselling author Lisa Harris takes you on a nonstop chase where feelings are complicated and failure isn't an option.

My Review:

So this is a new to me author and lets just say I was not disappointed in the least. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, now I will say you know early on who done it so the title speaks for itself, it was all about the chase and the twist and turns in the story. I really liked Madison she has a good head on her shoulders and tackles what liv throws at her with as much strength and grace as possible. I also liked Jonas but I did feel like he had a lot of unresolved issues that he wanted and needed to work through. I will say while the author solved on thing she leaves you wondering about another and leaves you wanting more and wanting to know what is going to happen next. Overall this book was a clean read and well worth the read I truly had a hard time putting it down.

The Rancher Risks It All Debra Holt



 Description:
She’s on the run…

On a storm-ravaged night, Texas rancher Truitt Tremayne is trying to make it home before the road floods. Years ago he lost his parents, fiancée and youngest brother in a flash flood on the same country road, so it seems like déjà vu when he nearly hits a stranded car with a beautiful woman and her sister trapped inside.

Annie Sims and her sister Jessie are running from their past. She’s headed to San Antonio where they can disappear, but bad luck follows them. With her funds depleted and her car useless, Truitt’s offer of a temporary sanctuary with no questions asked seems too good to be true. Soon Annie finds herself falling under the spell of the kind, silent rancher. But can she let her guard down and still keep her sister safe, or is she courting more danger?

Truitt knows Annie has a secret. He wants her trust, but can he give his heart to another woman after he’s already lost so much?

My Review:
I really thought this book was so cute, I liked how Jessie was just as much a part of the story as Annie and Truitt were. With Truitt and Annie both healing from a brokenness in their lives they still worked hard to help others. I love Aunt Sal she sees things that others hope she won't and loves her nieces and nephews. I love the small town of this book and the sub-characters and how they just love and welcome anyone into there circle. This book was a clean read and was such a fun read. I can't wait to see where the author takes this family next and I really can't wait for Tori's story!! I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Only for You Barb Curtis

 


 Description:

Return to Sapphire Springs with this heartwarming romance where a small-town bakery owner finds herself in a fake relationship with the man she's always pined after.

Will a fake relationship between two friends lead to true love?

After having his heart broken on national television, Tim Fraser knows only one way to stop the gossip about his love life-a new girlfriend. The problem is, he's done with romance forever. A fake relationship with his friend and Sapphire Spring's sweetest baker, Emily Holland, seems the perfect solution to getting rid of his newfound fame, but their fleeting fauxmance is stirring up the kinds of feelings Tim has sworn off for good.

Emily has secretly lusted after Tim for years, but pretending her feelings are all for show never factored into her fantasy. Still, her decades-long crush makes it impossible to say no to Tim's proposal. But with each date, the lines between pretend and reality blur, giving Tim and Emily a tantalizing taste of life outside the friend zone . . . if they can find the courage to give real love a chance.


My Review:
SO in the first book Forever with You I loved Emily and was so ready for her to have her happily ever after so I was excited when I got this book. I still liked Emily and I loved that Leyna was back and she was just as feisty as ever. I liked Fuzzy he was super eccentric and while he seemed to use a situation for his greater good but his heart was in the right place. I was not a huge fan of Tim I just felt he was selfish and overall not a huge fan of his. I did like Emily's grandma she was a pistol and while she faced something tough she stopped at nothing to show Emily how worthy she was of love. This book does have adult content and may not be suitable for all. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Summer Sisters Sara Richardson


 Description:
Three sisters search to reunite their family and find love along the way in this heartwarming, multi-generational novel—fans of Lori Foster and Maisey Yates won't be able to resist this author's "unputdownable, unforgettable stories from the heart" (Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author). 

The Buchanan sisters share everything—including their inherited Juniper Inn. But when their mother won’t let go of a decades-long feud with their Aunt Sassy to attend the inn’s grand re-opening, the sisters decide a family reunion is long overdue.

Youngest sister Rose is determined to put together an extravagant celebration. Only she needs to convince a certain surly hardware store owner to help finish the inn’s renovations.

After a heartbreaking end to her marriage, Dahlia and her kids are just starting to rebuild their lives. Dahlia’s even considering opening herself up to love again, but will that upset the stability she’s worked so hard to give her children?

Sassy McGrath has never stopped missing her sister, Lillian, and though they’ve both been too stubborn to reconcile, some shocking news might finally change everything. As family bonds are tested, will these two very different generations of women find the strength to believe in themselves and each other?

My Review:
Y'all the Sisters are back and so is Sassy!!! I forgot how much I like this group of women in Home for the Holidays until I started reading this book. I like I am catch up with friends with this group. Sassy is  still a pistol and this book she was as stubborn as they come, yet set out to help those she loves the most in life. Rose seems to still be find her place at the inn but she is starting to feel like she's fitting in and is ready to even get her hands dirty and help she's someone I think in a way we all want to be. Dahlia is a little more reserved in this book and I can understand why she's trying to find herself after the death of her marriage. Overall I can't with this group of women they really make me wish I had sisters, such a fun read and I could not put it down so well worth it. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Hooked on you Kathleen Fuller



 Description:

She never wanted to come back. He never wants to leave. The town of Maple Falls has plans for them both.

Riley McAllister is living the dream in New York City . . . if the dream means being a struggling mixed-media artist, part-time food delivery driver, and having a carefully curated social media to hide all of the above. She refuses to admit defeat and move back to small-town Maple Falls, but when her grandmother breaks her leg sliding into third base during a softball game (she was safe, by the way), Riley reluctantly agrees to go home and help the woman who raised her—while secretly hoping she can convince Mimi to sell her house and yarn shop and move in with a good friend. Then Riley can return to her new life in NYC, on her own and for good.

But Mimi has her own plans, which include setting Riley up with local baseball star Hayden Price, who returned to Maple Falls after an injury ended his major league career. Now he works at his father’s hardware store, coaches the church softball team, and worries about the declining town. It’s not the life he dreamed of having.

With a little meddling and a lot of kindness from the town, Hayden and Riley find themselves unexpectedly falling for each other as they discover the true meaning of home

Welcome to Maple Falls, where everyone knows your name and your business. 

“A sweet, refreshing tale of idyllic small-town life, family, and unexpected romance, Hooked on You is the perfect read to cozy up with on a rainy day.”—Melissa Ferguson, multi-award-winning author of The Cul-de-Sac War 


My Review:
I have never read anything by this author before and I have to say I really enjoyed this love story. I guess when they say never say never they mean it or at least in Riley's case. She was a broken sprit and really struggled to find her footing which made her feel very relatable. Hayden was a fighter and spoke whatever was on his mind but always did it with love. He also just seemed so relatable, while reading this story it almost felt like I was catching up with friends. I really like Erma and the Bosom Buddies, man I want to be them one day, to be old and feisty yet always having fun oh my what a fun group. I feel like this story wasn't all about love about about friendship and cherishing those relationships. Overall I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down it was so worth the read. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Truly, Madly Texas Eve Gaddy


 
Description:
Can they turn one spectacular night into a lifetime of love?

After a disastrous ride forces world champion saddle bronc rider Chase Walker back to his family's ranch to recuperate, he’s happy to distract himself for a night with a mysterious, gorgeous woman. It should have just been a one-night stand, but she’s unforgettable.

Thanks to her cheating ex-fiancé, Ella Slade is done with rodeo cowboys...until she meets a sexy cowboy who catches a thief who stole her purse. What harm can one night of indulgence do? A lot, apparently, because when she arrives at her interview for a ranch manager job, Chase turns out to be her prospective boss. She’s adamant she won’t mix business with pleasure, but Chase suggests a deal—Ella takes the job, and they pretend that night never happened.

The longer they work together, the harder it is to pretend. Chase knows he’s falling for his midnight lover, but can he convince Ella to risk her heart again?


My Review:
Life is not all about roses and butterflies, sometimes its about horseshoes and cowboy hats. When Chase has a run in with a horse and comes home to help his siblings he meets Ellla and things get interesting. Ellla has a broken heart and goes off to look for a job. This was such a fun book to read. I really love small-town romances I love how the author draws you in and makes you feel like you are right there in the middle. I really Liked Damaris she was what you see is what you get but also has a huge heart for her family. This book does have adult language overall this book was a fun read and I can't wait to see what happens next with this family. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Mending Hearts Janice Kay Johnson

 



Description:
In this emotional Amish romance, a young couple will discover that healing from heartbreak takes two.

Miriam Bowman was devastated when her fiance was killed in a logging incident. In the years since the tragedy, she finds it impossible to enter into a new relationship for fear of it coming to a disastrous end. So she works at her quilt shop in town and stays away from anything that would risk her heart. As least until David Miller comes back home to take a second chance at the Amish way of life.

David feels responsible for the logging incident that killed his friend and Miriam's betrothed, and his life has been corrupted by guilt. That guilt only worsens when he and Miriam begin to spend time together after his return, and they begin to have feelings for each other. David might just be the man Miriam has been afraid of finding, one she could fall in love with. And Miriam is the only one who can truly forgive David for his perceived misdeeds. In order to risk their hearts and find the love they've been missing, David and Miriam will have to open them to each other.

My thoughts on the book:

This book was not for me. I felt for a good portion of the book the story dragged and I found it hard to get into the story over all. I will say just over half way through the author did throw a twist into the story but as quickly as is was there it was over with. I did not read any of the first story but I loved Julie and her brother oh my what sweet souls. I really also like Miriam what she faced in the story could have knocked any one to their knees but she just seemed so strong and stubborn nothing was going to knock her over. The story was a clean read and suitable for most. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A Midwife for Sweetwater and A New Face in Town Susan Payne

 Description:

A Midwife for Sweetwater

     Young Rebecca Johansen had just signed a contract making her Sweetwater, Kansas' midwife. Despite her misgivings she knew she would be useful to the growing town and a dependable source of medical care for the women and children living there.
     Although she had never heard of such a generous salary nor the fact she had been hired and brought there by the future fathers of the town's children, she felt blessed to be chosen.  Now she was determined not to let those men or their families down.
     Even though keeping a secret of her own, she felt she could more than fulfill her duties.  But will her passion and mutual desire for one man be more of a stumbling block than she ever could have conceived?

A New Face In Town

     Frightened and alone, Victoria Watkins was fighting to make right what had suddenly become very, very wrong.  Once thinking she had her whole future set out for her, she finds herself in a strange town seeking work without any credentials or confidence.  After all, what could a poor girl raised in the tobacco fields of Tennessee offer a growing town like Sweetwater?
     And what was she to do when Mason, the local sheriff, all but calls her a felon and danger to the town?  How could she explain her stupidity or expect any help from total strangers who didn't quite trust her either?
     And the other feelings the she had to push aside only caused her more distress.  She had only been trying to find a family to belong to, a place to call home and a man to want her for herself. Would her desire for the man who held her in such contempt be her downfall?


My thoughts on the book:

A Midwife for Sweetwater- I liked this story more than I liked the first two books in book one. Daniel and Rebecca both had huge insecurities they needed to overcome to be who they strive to be. But both faced things that continue to make them wonder if Sweetwater was where they would find their happy ever after. I did like catching up with Abby. She was one of my favorites from the other book I read. 

A New Face in Town- This story was just ok I felt like it was pretty predictable and not really my favorite out of the four stories I have read. I liked Mason and Matthew both have big hearts and will do anything to protect women woman who are being sold and traded. I liked Victoria she was nice but she almost seemed like she really had to try to hard to fit in to Sweetwater and it just didn't seem to fit from the other stories. In both stories there is sexual content which seems to be the majority of the book to be honest. over all the stories were ok just not for me. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Secret Nights with a Cowboy Caitlin Crews- (Kittredge Ranch #2)

  Description:

USA Today bestseller Caitlin Crews returns to Cold River, CO, and cowboys, with an emotional second chance romance in Secret Nights with a Cowboy, the stunning first installment in her new Kittredge Ranch series. 

A man holding on...

Riley Kittredge has always known exactly what he wanted. His land, his horses. His woman. He met and married Rae Trujillo far too young, and their young love combusted right after they said their vows. But their passion has never managed to burn itself out. Yet when Rae shows this time, it's not a night of pleasure she demands, but a divorce.

A woman letting go...

Rae should have moved on a long time ago. She knows she and Riley just don't work. They might make great lovers, but that doesn't make a marriage. And now Rae wants a new life, complete with a baby. But when her husband offers to be a father, to give her the family she's always secretly desired, she and Riley will both have to face demons from their past—and choose love over fear at last.

“Loaded with charming characters [and] wit….will win the heart of any romance fan.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on A True Cowboy Christmas


My thoughts on the book:

I really was not a fan of this book, I felt like it dragged a lot. I liked Riley he was a pistol he was a stubborn mule and he was totally set in his way but even in the middle of everything he still could crack a joke. Rae was completely whiney, I also felt the reason for leaving took forever to "figure" out. I did like Hope and Abby they were amazing friends. I really felt like this book played off more as high schoolers then adults in their 30's. There is a Second story in the end which was super cute. I liked Conner in the first story so I was glad to be able to read his story.  I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Nanny Arrangement Rachel Harris



  Description:

Soft-spoken and shy Hannah Fisher is determined to make the man she’s loved her entire life finally see her as a woman. With the help of a makeover and the convenient forced proximity of a tour bus, she vows to win her best friend Deacon’s heart. 

Former bad boy and current fiddle player Deacon Latrell has the world at his fingertips: a new gig with a famous band, plus his best friend on tour as his son’s nanny. Life couldn’t get much sweeter. Now if only he could stop imagining kissing the daylights out of his childhood BFF...

With one friend set on pushing the boundaries and the other afraid to rock the boat, one thing’s for certain—their story would make one heck of a country song.

Each book in the Country Blues series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.
Series Order:
Book #1: You’re Still the One
Book #2: The Nanny Arrangement


My thoughts on the book:

When I first started this book I really was not a fan I felt like the first few chapters read like a journal entry and came off a little to "wordy". However once Hannah and Deacon met up with the band the whole thing changed and it got good. I liked Hannah she was a sweet spirit so unsure of herself but ready to step out of her comfort zone and take on the world. Deacon was some one you wanted to love to hate, he has a broken spirit but he wanted to do what was best for his son and would stop at nothing to make that happen. I loved Arabelle and Sherry they are the best kind of cheerleaders a girl can ask for. I did not read book one but I will say I hope to find out what happens with the other band members. Over all this book was a really fun read and I can't wait for more. For those who are content sensitive: this book contains non-graphic scenes and descriptions of sexual content. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Montana Cowboy Christmas Jane Porter





Description:

It's almost Christmas and nationally-ranked barrel racer Ivy Wyckoff has returned home to Montana desperate for a miracle. A cowgirl to her bones, she’s always solved her own problems, but when her ex—rodeo champ, Sam Wyatt—shows up offering more than a shoulder to cry on, Ivy’s tempted to grab the safety line he throws.

Sam Wyatt just wrapped his most successful year on the PRCA circuit. After long days and even longer nights, all he wants is a quiet holiday on his family's Paradise Valley ranch...until he sees Ivy again. He can tell she’s in trouble. They may have called it quits two years ago, but she's the one woman he regretted walking away from.

Sam will do anything to keep Ivy safe, including putting a ring on her finger and sharing his name with her this Christmas.


My thoughts on the book:

I am very much a cover person and I must say this cover is just sums up this book very much. I being able to catch up with the Wyatt Brothers and seeing how Joe and Sophie are doing so fun. I love small town books and this is very much that. I really liked how Ivy was a stubborn, independent, women but also showed a very vulnerable side of herself. In many relationships you loose yourself and for Ivy that was reality. Sam oh man he was a pistol it was fun to see him kind of love from a distance but all kind of make Ivy mad. This book was such a fun read and I liked how the author kept it a clean read. SO worth the read.  I received a complimentary copy of this book.

A Family for Christmas by Nola Cross- The Burlesons of Texas #2


 Description:

He never thought he’d have a real family Christmas…  

For the past eight years, Bill Smith has been unable to set down roots. But he never forgot the magical night he spent with an auburn-haired beauty in Last Stand, Texas. When she finally tracked him down, he was more than happy to donate a kidney to AJ, the son he never knew he had. But now that AJ is better, Bill wants more time with him and his mother. He wants a family.

Annie Burleson can’t help but be grateful to this almost-stranger for saving AJ’s life. Still, she’s a little wary. AJ has already been through so much—what if Bill leaves again? And with Christmas in full swing, it’s difficult to discern which emotions are festive and which are forever.

As Annie and Bill’s lives collide, their mutual love for AJ makes this more than a marriage of convenience. But is it enough to give them the family Christmas they all deserve?

My thoughts on the book:
This story was super cute and I liked AJ he was super cute. I had not read the first book in this series but Jade and Cash from book one do make an appearance in this book and you can catch up with them. Bill has a huge heart but also stand offish since he has been through so much in his life. Annie also was standoffish but at some points in the book she came off very immature. The story was very predictable over all so no big surprises. There is sex in this book and may not be suitable for all, over all this book is a quick read and a cute story. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
