The Crown Prince's Bride Donna Alward

Description:
A Crown Prince gets a second chance at love with the woman who’s always been there - in the next book in the prince duology from Donna Alward!

The Crown Prince of Marazur is suffering from a broken heart. After losing his wife and future queen, he knows he’ll never find love again with a partner as wonderful as her. He’s thrown himself into his duties and is trying to be a better father to his two children, but he’s lonely. Even though falling in love seems impossible, so does spending the rest of his life alone.

Stephani has been Raoul’s assistant for years. Smart, loyal, and discreet, Stephani is fantastic at her job. Except for the fact that she’s been in love with her boss since her first week of employment, not that she would ever act on it. Besides, Raoul is first in line to the throne and she’s his assistant. If Raoul ever marries again, it’ll be with someone who can be a future queen. Not someone like Stephani.

When Raoul’s date for a state dinner is unable to attend, he invites Stephani. She’s well-versed on the issues and castle protocol, and Raoul’s always been comfortable with her. But when Stephani arrives, Raoul hardly recognizes her. Is this stunning woman the same one who’s run his office for years?

The Crown Prince’s Bride is the ultimate fairy tale for readers looking for Cinderella to get her prince—and be able to keep him past midnight.

My thoughts on the book:
Stephani has had a crush on Raoul and she has kept it a secret and plans too as she thinks nothing will come of it. Being his assistant and being able to be there for him and her cousins kids is more important. Raoul has lost two women who have been closest to him and he is never going to marry again. When things go array in his life he knows he can always lean on Steph. Can they find hope for a relationship or is the working relationship all they will end up with?

I really enjoyed this book and I loved how the author made Stephani this amazing strong women who wasn't afraid to speak her mind. I really enjoyed the story I think the only thing that I felt was I wished there was more, not that the story was lacking just wished it was longer such a fun read. The story is over all a pretty clean read it does have adult situations and topics but over all a fun story. This story is somewhat predictable but the story was so sweet.

Not My First Rodeo 2 boxed set by Donna Alward, Jenna Bayley-Burke, Sarah M. Anderson

Description:

In Donna Alward’s Seducing the Sheriff, Cassidy’s first foray into online dating is an unqualified disaster. Witness to a bank robbery, she’s now in danger. Sexy sheriff Joe Lawson is willing do whatever it takes to protect her, even if that means hiding her away in his secluded mountain cabin.


In Roping the Rancher by Sarah M. Anderson, all Tommy knows is girls his own age don’t do it for him. Carly has no interest in being anyone’s cougar, but when Tommy says he’ll do whatever she tells him to, she can’t resist the chance to take what she wants from a man with no strings attached. But no one said anything about scarves...


In Jenna Bayley-Burke’s Captivating the Cowboy, aspiring designer Jules is about to head to New York. Before she leaves, she’s going to help widower Slade Weston find the perfect ranch wife, but finding his forever turns into schmexytimes. Jules doesn’t want to be a wife and mom, and Slade isn’t moving across the country. It’s just a fling, until she’s not sure where she truly belongs.

My thoughts on the book:

Suducing the Sheriff- 

Cassie is a independent strong headed person who's been hurt and is not ready for love. Joe has been set up on another blind date his sister chose only to realize maybe the person he wants is someone who's been there the whole time. These two have to battle their demons through the book and it keeps you wondering what's going to happen next. They have this natural chemistry with each other but don't know what to do with it. The story is super fun read and just sucks you in to the small town feel and I love that. I love novellas but I wanted just a little more of there story seemed a little rushed towards the end, but a super fun read for sure. If  I was rating just this story I would give it a 4 star. 

Captivating the Cowboy-

Jules just wants to belong and have family but she is also wants to further her career. When things take a turn and start to get interesting she holds her ground. Slade is on the hunt to find a wife now it's summer that put on hold everyone knows how busy a ranch can be. Will they be able to find hope for a future when everything else seems against them? The author did not disappoint with Jules, Jules is a firecracker through and through and the author did a good job and making her a strong take no prisoners while giving her a soft side too. At first I found the story lacking but that did change pretty quickly and it really drew you in.  I loved the small town feel each on of these stories has offered to far. If I was rating just this story I would give it a 4 star.

Roping the rancher -

Carly is years out of a bad relationship and she ready to find someone new. She just never thought it would be in the one place she said she would never find someone. Tommy is weeks away from graduating college and he's ready for a new adventure. He's sick of the same ol same ol girls so he wants to find something/someone different. Can they both find what they are looking for? Out of all three stories this one was my least favorite. The story seem to be lacking something I can't seem to put my finger on it. I wasn't a fan of either of the characters. Carly came from broken and that part of the story was pretty powerful but that seemed to be the only way to connect with any of the characters. If I was rating just this story I would give it a 2 star. 

Over all the group of books were fun to read for each of their own reasons they all are looking for love and hope to find it in the least likely places. Each on was done in a small town and in the first 2 stories they had some quirky characters and it was super fun and added to the over all story. Each story has strong language and adult scenes some more then others. Fun summer read for sure.

Somebody's Baby Donna Alward- Darling VT #3

Description:
Veterinarian Rory Gallagher chose a different path from his brothers, both of whom became first responders in the lovely little town of Darling, Vermont. Rory's always had an affinity for animals--and the ladies. Known for his impressive track record in breaking hearts, Rory never meant to hurt anyone; he's just never been in a hurry to settle down. It's not as if he needs to pay a visit to the town's famed Kissing Bridge to magically find love. He'll know The One when he sees her. . .right?  

Oaklee Collier is the kid sister of Rory's best friend--and, even now that she's all grown up, remains immune to the pet-doctor's charms. When she shows up at Rory's clinic late one night--devastated after hitting a stray dog with her car--Rory's so-called "bedroom eyes" are the last thing on her mind. Still, his care and kindness toward the dog, and his concern for her feelings, catches Oaklee by surprise. . .and soon the two (and rescued dog makes three!) begin to share a deep connection that neither could have ever imagined. Could it be that love has been waiting for them by the bridge all along?

My thoughts on the book:

Oaklee is home now for two years from college she loves the town she lives in and she loves her job, but it seems that all there is any more is baby showers and weddings. She knows love is real but she has just about had it with relationships. Rory is home and is the local vet and he loves what he does he has sworn off love but it seems to every where around him. When his best friends little sister comes  to him about an injured dog they seem to want to work together to help this homeless dog. He likes things neat and tidy and everything planned out perfectly, she doesn't mind a little clutter in her life and she will grab life by the horns but will the secrets they have hold them back from the one thing they both want to bad?
I so enjoyed this book you will be guaranteed to laugh, cry and laugh some more. The struggle between the two characters in their past makes the storyline that much more fun. I really enjoyed that the author through a dog who was rambunctious and had its own personality that added to the story and added so much fun to the story as well. I loved how the small town of Darling had such fun characters but also has away of showing what life is about, family, friends and coming together when all is needed. I loved how the story draws you in and you find yourself truly not wanting to put the book down for any reason, it truly seemed like a quick read. I had not read the other books in the series it was not hard to catch on what was going on, however it make you want to go back and read the others to see what fun they had. Grab this book you won't regret it.
