A Cowboy Thanksgiving Melinda Curtis

 Description:

A holiday visit…
Or a season for love? 

As an orphan, Maxine Holloway has never known what “family” truly feels like. That is, until Max and her daughter spend Thanksgiving in Second Chance, Idaho, with the boisterous and prominent Monroes—including ridiculously handsome cowboy Bo Monroe. For the first time ever, Max doesn’t feel like an outsider. But can she let down her guard enough to let the Monroes—and especially Bo—be her home beyond the holidays?

My Review:

I thought this book was sweet. It was a good way to end a series. I am going to miss this family. I have some questions about Tanner and I really hope that the author chooses to write his story, because I feel like he truly deserves a happy ever after. 

I liked Max a lot she felt very relatable, that was one thing about this series is I felt like there was always at least one person in each book who felt very relatable. I felt with Bo he came off quite pushy, but I have been following this series from the beginning and that seems to be the way of the Monroe's they "push" until they get what they want there truly is no stopping them. Overall I really did enjoy this book and series and it was worth the read. Just like all the other books in the series the author did keep this book clean and suitable for all readers! I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Marvelous Monroe Girls Shirley Jump

 Description:

A heartwarming story of sisterhood, second chances, and falling in love

Gabriella Monroe is doing her best to pretend that everything is fine, but her life is a mess. Sales are down at her vintage dress shop, her beloved grandmother isn’t her usual spunky self, and Gabby desperately misses the closeness she had with her sisters, Margaret and Emma—who were once so inseparable that their family called them the Monroe Musketeers.  

When the sisters stumble across a stash of letters that reveals their grandmother’s secret life, Gabby sees an opportunity to bring the sisters back together again and best of all, raise her grandmother’s spirits. And sure, this new project makes it easier to pretend her own life isn’t crashing around her, but concentrating on helping everyone else and ignoring her own feelings is what Gabby does best.

Except when it comes to Jake Maddox. Once the boy next door she crushed on—hard—he’s grown into an even more intriguing man, and her attraction to him isn’t so easy to hide. It’s clear he’s just as interested in her, but dating Jake would only muddy up her already complicated life. Or is it finally time to put herself first and risk it all for a chance at happiness?

My Review:

I found this book sweet. while I don't have sisters I can imagine having close relationship and helping each other through tough spots in life when you feel like no one else it there for you. I liked Gabi she had a huge heart and always wanting to see things work out for everyone who she loved dearly. Jake has a heart for one sister and will stop at nothing to show her his love is real. He wants to give her the world the way she did when they were in first grade. Overall I really enjoyed this book. I like that sometimes it takes see things different that will give you a look at second chances.

You're Gonna Love Me Robin Lee Hatcher

Description:

Who knew fate could twist a tragedy into a second chance at love?
Samantha Winters lives her life the way a good accountant should—measured, deliberate, and safe. After watching her father die in a tragic skiing accident, she decided never to allow risk into her life again. But she didn’t count on falling for Nick Chastain, who embodies everything she doesn’t want in her safely constructed world.

Against Samantha’s warnings, Nick plans a dangerous kayaking trip over spring break. Furious that he’s so careless with his life, she ends their fledgling relationship with harsh words.

Two years later, Samantha is desperately in need of a change. When she learns her grandmother has had an accident and is in need of a caretaker, Samantha quickly packs her bags and heads to Thunder Creek, Idaho. But nothing could prepare her for the surprise awaiting her in her grandmother’s hospital room . . . Nick.

With the charming backdrop of small-town friends, beloved cousins, and a whole church congregation rooting for them, can they set aside the disastrous ending of their first try at love? Has Nick changed enough to meet Samantha in the middle—and can she realize that a risk in love might be worth taking?
My thoughts on the book:

Samantha is not with what is going on in her life right now. She has more questions then she does answers. She is home helping her grandmother after a fall and maybe after some time of relaxing she can find out some answers. But when someone from her past comes back into her life she still ends up wondering whats next in her life. Nick runs into Samantha when he never thought he would see her again. He struggles with telling her the truth that happened two years ago or just letting things lye where they are. Can the two figure out how to navigate life in a small town and get the answers each seek?

What a sweet book this was. This book was like coming home, there was no suspense or nothing that just stood out. It felt more like catching up with a friend. I loved how the book just flowed and you wanted to find out what was going to happen next. I loved all the main characters I really enjoyed Ruth and her friends they just seemed like the towns Grandma's and also matchmakers. I really loved how this was a good clean read and also how with everything Nick had been through he still sought his faith to make it through. I can't wait for more from this sweet town of Thunder creek(oh how I hope there is more). If you are looking for a clean read with one of the sweetest love stories this book will not disappoint at all.

Let Me Love You Again Anna DeStefano

What's the book about:

Selena Rosenthal left behind her high school sweetheart, who was the love of her life, seven years ago.

Now, she and the once-rebellious Oliver Bowman are back in Chandlerville—after his foster father’s heart attack and Selena’s contentious divorce—to deal with her secrets, the recklessness that caused their breakup, and the almost-strangers they’ve become to each other and their families.

As soon as his father is stronger, Oliver must return to the successful career that helps support a new generation of foster kids. But he’s falling for Selena again, her daughter has a hold on his heart, and he can’t imagine leaving behind his brothers and sisters once again.

More attached by the day to their charming hometown and families, Selena and Oliver fall in love for the second time.

Has fate brought Chandlerville’s prodigal children together again…this time forever?

My thoughts on the book:
Oliver had one thing on his mind work, work and work, when he gets a phone call from his brother that takes him back home and back to one place that he doesn't really want to be because he will be forced to face things he doesn't want to and never wants to. Selena has a beautiful little girl who is her everything and Selena is now back at her moms house and is already to move on again, the only thing keeping her there is her wonderful daughter and her soon to be ex husband. There is only one problem and she is about to come face to face with it and she is no more prepared then Oliver is. 
I really loved this book so fun and a real page turner. The storyline is well written and amazing, its draws  you in and all you do is get loss in it and then your find your self completely done. The chemistry is amazing the people, you find yourself feeling like your catching up with friend not just reading a story.

Homefront Jessica Scott

What's the book about:

A breathtaking new series from USA Today Bestselling author Jessica Scott

He’s always loved her...

First Sergeant Gale Sorren waited a war and half a lifetime for a chance to be stationed near the ex-wife who left him years ago. When he finally musters the courage to see her, the life he imagined she was living was nothing close to reality. 

She’s never stopped loving him...

Melanie never stopped worrying about Gale each time he headed off to war. But he’s never been there when she needed him and she’s had fifteen years to steel her heart against him. 

When Gale moves to Fort Hood, he finally has a chance to make things right with Melanie and the daughter she raised without him.

But Mel can't trust her heart to a man who has always let her down.

My thoughts on the book:

Jessica Scott has done it again and wrote an amazing book. This book will not disappoint at all. This book is for some one over the age of 18 in my option. 2nd chance and a chance at love are not what you always think of when you think of coming home from war and having to deal with some really tough things, at least thats what Gale Sorren believed. Melanie built a wall and she did not need anyone in her life but her daughter and even then she wonders if her daughter would be better off with out her and then she comes face to face with the past that she just was not ready to take on.
This book was AMAZING I had a hard time putting the book down. The book did have some really strong language and deals with some really tough issues. However the book was not so intense that you feel over whelmed by the thought of reading of these issues. I love how this author did an amazing job with the storyline and the chemistry through out. The will power in the book was amazing. 

I was given a copy for my honest review.

Always Rachael R. Vaughn

What's the book about:

In this sequel to Second Chances, the small town of Mason has encountered its first murder, and the town’s prime suspect is a scared teen named Jamal Davis. Attorney Wade Anders steps up to defend Jamal with the help of his assistant, Trey Ross. They are now at odds with family and friends but will not be deterred from proving Jamal’s innocence. Trey is also forced to confront two newly discovered siblings who were never recognized as Ross’ heirs and resent their rich half-brother.

A rogue judge disposes of the murder case by denying a trial, and Wade and Trey are baffled and desperate to free their client. At the same time, a federal drug investigation links Trey’s half-brother to a ruthless drug dealer, and Trey and his sister discover that their brother’s illegal activity includes more than selling drugs when they find evidence linked to the murder case. His sister insists that their brother is acting under duress, and Trey’s loyalties are divided between his family and his client.

My thoughts on the book:
Ok so I have to say hands down one of my favorite Novellas. I read the first book and it was really good. This book and the first one are not long in length but do not lack in an amazing storyline. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. The end is really not what I expected, its so much better. I can honestly say that if you are looking for a short read with a lot of action with a little bit of romance that you will not want to put down this is your book.
