Marsala & Magnolias SJ McCoy -The Hamilton Family #3

Description:
Antonio Di Giovanni is a passionate man. He’s passionate about running the family wine business and does it very successfully. He’s passionate about living well and having fun—he’s successful at that, too. He’s known as one of the hottest guys in Napa and for being seen with a different woman every night of the week. He’s used to getting what he wants in life and he only wants the best.

Mary Ellen Greene has worked hard in life. She’s overcome heartbreak and earned her way to a position as second-in-command at Hamilton-Groves. She’s created her own success in the world of wines, but she’s still a practical-minded, down-to-earth Midwestern girl at heart. She might have had a secret crush on Antonio for years, but it’s only a fantasy. He might look good, but he’s not her kind of guy.

As far as Mary Ellen’s concerned, Antonio is a good-looking, superficial playboy. He’s nice to daydream about but not someone she’d want to spend any time with – or is he?

Although these two have moved in the same social circles for years, they’ve never had a real conversation. She thinks he’s too much of a playboy; he thinks she’s too down-to-earth.

One phone call is about to change both their minds.

The Hamiltons Series

This series follows the Hamilton family in California wine country. If you recognize the name Hamilton it’s because this is Smoke’s family. They own one of the largest wine growing and distribution businesses in the country. In this set of connected stand-alone books, you will meet Smoke’s brother and sister as well as a couple of cousins.

Book 1: Red Wine and Roses
Book 2: Champagne and Daisies
Book 3: Marsala and Magnolias
Coming Soon
Prosecco and Peonies

My thoughts on the book:

Mary Ellen is shocked when she see's her ex-fiancé's name as one of the candidates up for a job opening and it seems everything is working against her. When Antonio seems to steps up and notices her she finds it a little fishy. After being hurt in a past relationship she’s now having a hard time believing the lines he’s feeding her is he for real or is this all just a big game to him?

I have fallen in love this Summer Lake and the characters from and surrounding the town. I loved this series so far and can't wait for more. The author did not disappoint with this book either. When the book is done I seemed to take a sigh not because its over but because I want more and I knew I have to wait. These characters feel more like you are coming home and catching up with friends. If you have never read any of this authors books grab one and get ready to want more by catching up with all the fun characters. This book does have adult scenes and some strong language so it may not be suitable for all readers. I love that this author ends her books with a semicolon to help support the semicolon project. The character's story is not over there is more to come just like your story there is still more to come. To learn more about the Semicolon Project check out projectsemicolon.com

Red Wine and Roses SJ McCoy The Hamiltons Book one

Description:

Take a trip to wine country to meet the Hamiltons in this new sweet and steamy series from SJ McCoy.

Cameron Hamilton may well be the most eligible bachelor in Napa Valley. He’s the CEO of Hamilton-Groves, one of the largest wine producers and distributors in the country. He lives a charmed life. Admired for his skills in the boardroom – and the bedroom—he works hard and plays harder. He’s not looking for a wife, he’s too busy living to want to settle down. 

Piper Gaines is at a crossroads in her life. She’s just moved to California to take a job flying a private jet. After years flying cargo and believing that was as far as her career would go, her new job and new life are a dream come true. It couldn’t get any better – or could it? She isn’t looking for a man, but as maid of honor for her old friend Laura, she’s paired with best man Cameron Hamilton. He’s irresistible, but she’s trying to resist – at least at first.


My thoughts on the book:

Piper just moved closer to her best friend is ready to see what life has for her. She has never had it easy and it ready to take the “bull” by its horns and take on this new adventure. Cameron is the Ceo of his families company and he doesn’t lack the amount of fun and women in his life. HIs own assistant wonders some day about his ability to keep up his way. Can he convince Piper that they could be friends and that they could have fun together or is he better at just staying with what he knows?
I really enjoyed this book it was a fun book. I loved how Piper was a no none sense take no prisoners type attitude but was also very vulnerable. I really enjoyed Cam and his sensitive ways but his I am not going to put up with anything either. I loved his relationship with his family. If you have read The Wedding Flight you will notice that the first few chapters go hand and hand with some of that book from Piper and Cameron’s point of view but after that it takes a whole new story line and who Piper and Cam are. This book does have adult language and scenes and may not be suitable for all ages. This book is a fun book over all it was super fun to catch up with the other characters from other books.

My thoughts on the book:

I have read a handful of books in this series and its super fun series thats forsake. In this book Laura and Smoke are finally read to set the date for there wedding and it seems that life just might be getting in the way and nothing is going to stop them. They have there date and they have a wonderful group of friends who have stepped up to help out. This book is about is about love, friendship and family. I loved how the small town of Summer lake is just like any other small town close with some fun characters. I loved how this group of friends seems to be willing to accept anyone into there small  group and it seems that Summer lake is a place of healing and hope. The friends seem more like family then anything else. This book does have adult language in it so it may not be suitable of all readers. However I do agree the books should all be read before reading this one as is sums up so much. I can't wait to read more about the other run character from this book. I really want to read Cam and Pipers story now.

Chance Encounter SJ McCoy

Description:
Chance knew love once—a long time ago. She died when they were eighteen and the best of him died with her. Since then his work on a ranch in Montana has allowed him to keep his distance from people and from happiness. Eighteen years later, he may be ready to start living again—maybe. He’s watched all his friends find love and embark on the next stage of their lives. Part of him would like to do the same; part of him would rather cling to the past. 

He’s hoping that a trip to the Oregon Coast, and a couple of weeks away from his normal life, might help him figure out how he can move forward and maybe even be happy. 

It’s taken him eighteen years to get to this point, but a chance encounter on the beach will make him want to figure it all out in just two weeks. 

He’s come a long way, but can he really open his heart up to happiness—and to Hope?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chance Encounter is the first of three books in A Chance and a Hope Series.
These are not standalone reads. In fact, when you get to the end of this story, you may be faced with a cliffhanger – or you may not. The choice is yours!

What do I mean? Well, when you reach the end of Chapter Twenty you’ll be left with a warm and fuzzy Happy-For-Now. Then you’ll be faced with a choice – read on, all the way up to the edge of a cliff where I’ll leave you hanging, or stop right where you are and wait for Book Two to come out on June 13 and read Chapter Twenty-One then. If you love a cliffy, you can have one. If you detest a cliffy, you don’t have to deal with it! And if you hate waiting for the next books in a trilogy, don't worry because they are coming out one month apart:

Book Two: Finding Hope releases June 13
Book Three: Give Hope a Chance releases July 11


My thoughts on the book:

Chance needs to find healing in his life and let go of the past. It truly sounds way easier then it really is. When he gets a two week break to help out his dad he hopes to find the closure he is looking for. Hope is in a life she is questioning everything but knows she needs to keep plugging along. When she gets news she starts to question weather or not she's been making all the best chooses or if she's been to self absorbed. Will Hope and Chance be able to get their lives put together in the two weeks away that they have, or will it all become to much?
Wow this book is wow, The emotions lots of them in a good way that make you feel deep for the characters. This storyline will have you laughing crying all with in the same page. I loved getting a chance to read this book so amazing. I was super bumped out at the end because I wanted so much more. The book has two endings you can stop at chapter 20 or you can read the cliffhanger and I love that the author gives that option it gives you a chance to choose your ending. I can't wait to finish this series. This book does have some strong language and adult scenes so may not be right for all ages, other then that this book is perfect keeps you drawn in through out and you find yourself having a hard time putting the book down, grab it you won't regret.
