Christmas Kisses with My Cowboy Diana Palmer, Marina Adair, Kate Pearce




Description:
This Christmas, the best kind of trouble comes in threes: Three bestselling authors. Three stories of holiday romance. And three cowboys who are ready for love—whether they know it yet or not . . .
 
MISTLETOE COWBOY * Diana Palmer
Horse whisperer Parker doesn't drink, smoke, or gamble, and he doesn't have much to do with women, either. Until he meets winsome widow Katy, and her sweet child. Could Christmas kisses under the mistletoe bring the handsome wrangler the gift of his very own family?
 
“No one beats this author for sensual anticipation.”
—Rave Reviews

BLAME IT ON THE MISTLETOE * Marina Adair
To claim his slice of the family ranch, Texas Ranger Noah is forced back to Tucker’s Crossing. All he expects to find is a tractor load of painful memories—until a holiday storm, a power outage—and perhaps the magic of Christmas—deliver him to rescue an intriguing woman named Faith. But just who’s rescuing whom?
 
“Marina Adair is a breath of fresh air.”
—
New York Times bestselling author Darynda Jones
 
MISTLETOE DETOUR * Kate Pearce
When Morgan Valley rancher Ted Baker gets out his tow truck to pick up a snowbound driver, he doesn’t expect to find his old school friend Veronica on the lam with her pet pig—much less true love—just in time for Christmas . . .
 
“Captures the spirit of the West.”
—Booklist on The Maverick Cowboy

My thoughts on the book:

Mistletoe Cowboy

Was not a fan of this story. I did like Teddie she was a fun character with a lot of spit fire and drive to learn as much as she can and make something of herself even at a young age. I was not a fan of Parker he came off as whoa is me I’m a victim. The author has him as this ex military guy, with smarts like no other, but he comes off as a whimp and kind of a jerk. I feel like Katy could have done way better. I was sickened by the fact that it seemed Katy could not even stand up for her own daughter and she tolerated the behavior of her so called attorney. There was no curse words one adult scene over all a clean read just not the read for me.


Blame it on the mistletoe 

Faith has a brick wall built around her heart an no one was getting through no matter what. She would also do anything to protect her nephew at all cost. Noah on the other hand was cocky and ready to tear down the wall Faith built if she would only let him in. Noah had issues of his own but he seemed to have a good heart, and really craved the closeness of his family. Now Faith my heart broke for her and for everything she faced and loss. She was a fighter and it was hard not to root for her in this story. There were sexual innuendoes throughout this story no strong language over all I did like this one over the first one. 


Mistletoe Detour 

I was not a huge fan of this story. I found both Ted and Veronica very immature being the fact they were in their 30’s they acted a lot more like they were in their early 20’s at best. I did like the authors sense of humor with the pig and his name kind of hard not to laugh at that every time the big made his appearance. There was adult content in this story so it may not be suitable for all readers.

Over all this set of books was not really my cup of tea. I liked Blame it on the Mistletoe the most it seemed to really get to the heart of Christmas over all. There is adult content in every one of these stories so may not be suitable for all readers. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Feels Like the First Time Marina Adair- Destiny Bay #2




Description:
What's wrong with a little white lie?

There are a lot of things Ali Marshal doesn't do: pink anything, a day without chocolate, and Hawk, her sister's ex-husband. Sure, he's a sexy former NHL star who can make her pulse pound with just a wink. But he belonged to Bridget first. And no matter how long she's had a crush on him, how great he's always been to her dad, or that her sister is engaged to someone else now and Ali needs a date to their engagement party, she can't give in to temptation. Can she?

It's been years since his disastrous marriage crashed and burned, and Bradley Hawk has finally moved on. So when Bridget blows back into town with her new fiancé, throwing the engagement party of the year, he could care less . . . until Ali tells one little lie that lands him smack dab in a fake relationship. After one promise to be Ali's date and two of the hottest kisses he's ever had, Hawk can't deny how much he wants her. But what happens when this fauxmance starts to feel very, very real?


My thoughts on the book:
Ali is not always the girly girl everyone, her sister and mother mainly wants her to be, but she loves her chocolate, her dad  and loves her friendship with Hawk more then anything. When her sister comes back into town on the night of one of Ali's biggest nights and she hopes that one lie to her will get her going back where she came from.  Hawk can only handle one Marshal sister at a time they both have explosive personalities and he goes along with the crazy plan Ali comes up with but hers just not sure what he's thinking. He is ready to put his ex in the past and move on in the future. Will Ali be able to show love and keep those around her happy or will it all finally come crashing down?

The biggest thing that comes to mind about this book is "coming home". I have fallen in love with the town Destiny Bay the small town feel the way everyone has each others back and the gossip. There is a ton of chemistry coming off the pages and a ton of fun through out. There is some strong language and adult scenes through out. The storyline is well written and totally enjoyable. Totally worth the read you can't go wrong.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Publisher: Forever
Mass Market: $5.99
eBook: $5.99












He's one bad apple she just can't resist…

Kennedy Sinclair never dreamed she'd own a pie shop and an orchard in a small town like Destiny Bay. But nestled between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, it's the perfect place to cross something off her "Life's short so eat the icing first" list and start her life over from scratch. Her shop, Sweetie Pies, is famous for its hot, flaky apple turnovers and sinfully delicious deep dish pie. For Kennedy though, nothing is more enticing than the tall, strapping slice of temptation who keeps coming back for more.

Luke Callahan is determined to make his hard cider business a success. With his beloved father's cider recipe and the opportunity of a lifetime in his grasp, he'll stop at nothing to get this deal done. There's just one catch: he needs Kennedy's apples. At first, he thinks it'll be as easy as pie to charm those apples right off her trees. But Kennedy isn't falling for his tender charms or his wicked ways. When the negotiations start heating up, so do the feelings they have for each other. And it takes just one kiss to seal the deal…





LAST KISS OF SUMMER  EXCERPT

Kennedy rested her elbows on the counter and leanedforward. “You cook, clean, and make house calls? Be still, my heart.”
“I aim to please.” He dried off his hands and brought two steaming mugs of coffee to the counter. “Which is why I was trying to be quiet, so you could get another few minutes of sleep, before I surprised you in bed.” He grinned. It was a wicked grin. “Again.”
Luke had done more than surprise her last night; he’dspoiled her for other men. Sure, he was an incredible lover, but it was the tender moments in between that made her nervous.
This thing between them couldn’t last. She knew that. She also understood that if he was looking for something more permanent, she wouldn’t be the kind of woman to inspire that kind of commitment. She was unable to do it with her perfect match, or even her own mother. The one person who was supposed to love her unconditionally. Which left Kennedy painfully afraid that she was missing that elusive quality that led to forever.
Finding out that she was right, that she was unlovable,from a man who obviously had an incredible capacity to love, as she’d seen with his friends and family, would be too painful to survive. So she took the moment for what it was, committing to memory the warm aroma of the coffee, the way the sun cast a glassy haze over the kitchen, and the sleepy expression on his face that made him look softer. More relaxed. Like this was where he was supposed to be.
In this kitchen—with her.

Kennedy was becoming more attached—she could feel it. The way he treated her, the way he made her feel, even the way he looked at her, like right now, as if she were special. Which made her feel special.

When the negotiations start heating up, so do the feelings they have for each other. And it takes just one kiss to seal the deal . . .


My thoughts on the book:
Kennedy is a spitfire with a heart of gold. She is looking for love, family and someone to who will love her for her and she thought she found it and that blow up in her face. Now she has this opportunity to start another job and a fresh start. She just never expected that the opportunity would be not so cut in dry and now she been at if for a few weeks and she has to prove she can do it or risk loosing everything. Luke has a one tracked mind for business and family, he doesn't care who he has to step on to get where he's going but he will prove he's worth the effort and hope to leave with the least about of hurt in the situations. However when dealing with his mom, aunt and now Kennedy he and his business partner wonder if they can come out unscathed. They are both working towards saving there business' and working together doesn't seem to be an option but will one of the take it to far and everything blow up in the others face or will they come together in the end with there hearts still intact?
I really enjoyed this book you find yourself laughing, crying and laughing so hard your crying. I had a hard time putting the book down. There was strong language and some adult scenes in this book so its not for all ages. I really enjoyed this fun little town the fun characters and the personality that shined through of not just the main characters but the other characters in the town. The author did an amazing job with the storyline and keeping you drawn into the story. While some parts where a little cheesy (in a good way) there where other parts that just kicked it out of the park for me. You really can not go wrong reading this fun summer read.

Sugar on Top, Marina Adair (Sugar, Georgia #2)


What's the book about:
The last thing Glory Mann wants is to become chairman of the Miss Peach Pageant in Sugar, Georgia. Spending months hearing nothing but the clinking of pearls and judgment? No thank you! But when Glory is forced to take the rap for a scandal she didn't commit, the judge sentences her to head the committee. Even worse, her co-chairman is rugged, ripped . . . and barely knows she's alive.

He's ready and willing

Single dad Cal McGraw can't take any more drama in his life. After a difficult divorce, his little girl became a boy-crazy teenager and his hands are full. The last thing he needs is to spend his down time with the town bad girl. Glory is pure trouble-tempting and tantalizing trouble. But he can't deny the strong chemistry between them-or how her touch turns him inside out. Now as squabbles threaten to blow up the contest and the town of Sugar itself, Cal must risk everything on the sexy wild card to get a second chance at love...


My thoughts on the book:
Glory is not happy and the last thing she wants is to draw more attention to herself, but once again she is forced into scandal and this time she didn't commit and she was so ready to move on from the past. She gets help from the one person she never thought would even look her way. Cal he has two things on his mind other then building his business his daughter is his main priority and keeping his sister in law away so he doesn't have to deal with her crazy matchmaking skills. The only thing is his brother asked him to help him and his best friend and he is so ready do be done doing favors for his brother and they seem to always lead to one person who spells TROUBLE with a capitol T. 
Ms. Adair has done amazing job again with telling an amazing story and the chemistry on every page is a real pager tuner. The storyline is well written there is not a dull moment and its a book thats hard to put down. Some of the topics that are dealt with things that every teenager deals with but the way the author keeps you drawn in and has you turning each page is amazing. You really can not go wrong with this book. Can't wait to read more from this author and more about Sugar, Georgia.

Need You for Keeps Marina Adair


What's the book about:

When it comes to caring for the furry residents of St. Helena, California, groomer and pet rescuer Shay Michaels can handle anything. Humans are another story, though—especially Deputy Jonah Baudouin. He’s the town’s resident superhero: upright, uptight, and jaw-droppingly gorgeous, even when he’s investigating complaints about Shay’s beloved foster animals. And that spells danger for Shay, a free spirit who can’t risk trusting the wrong person again.
Jonah and Shay have been circling each other ever since she came to town, and he’s running out of reasons to not kiss her senseless. But this deputy is a straight shooter with his eye on the sheriff’s badge. He can’t afford to get involved with Shay, a chaos magnet with luscious curves who’s liable to turn his career—and his life—upside down. He enforces laws. She breaks them—repeatedly. Keeping her out of trouble is becoming a full-time job…and it’s one he hopes is never going to end.

My thoughts on the book:
 I just had so much fun reading this book. I would have to say if this was a movie it would be labeled a romantic comedy. Shay is outgoing, loving, caring but the most free spirited person, she seems to have a few secrets and maybe running from something. She says everyone needs to be loved and how true she shows herself in this book, you feel like you are reading a letter from one of your good friends and just catching up. Jonah on the other had is running he trust no one or at least that what he wants people to think. He has heart but its damaged and he is a no non sense kind of guy, you just want to keep doing what he's doing and what he's been hired to do and he wants to avoid Shay and her craziness that she seems to be around every time he turns around.
I had a hard time putting this book down there was so much fun and excitement through out, but all and all the Chemistry in the book was there from page one to the last page. There was no real low points in the book there are some times you find your self wanting to choke one or two of the character for there craziness...lol.  I think I have to say that this book would not be good for young reads as it does contain adult situations and strong language. I would say hands down this is a really really fun read and worth the read overall. You really can't go wrong.
