A Cowboy Thanksgiving Melinda Curtis

 Description:

A holiday visit…
Or a season for love?

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.

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.

My Review:

If you have been following along with The Monroe Family this book was a fun way to catch up with the family but also read about another member. I feel like in each book it can hit a person different but I found this book very emotional. I really like Kendall she had a hard shell that needs to be cracked but she was taking life as it was handed to her and she was grabbing by the horns. She was a fighter and super independent and no job was to dirty for her. I loved Lizzie she was a pistol with an old soul and was ready to grab at love for anyone or anything in her life. Finn had to grow on my a little bit but he was also someone who faced a lot and had a lot on his plate. While each character faced a difficult situation each one faced it looking for love and sometimes thats all we need. I really liked this book it was a fun read and a clean read and I know the Monroe's are coming to an end but I am so loving this family and their stories.

My Review:

I will start off by saying I am not ready for this series to come to an end. I feel like in every book you find something to love about a main character or dislike about a sub-character in the book. In this book is was very much the same. Can we just smack some sense into Holden, Shane and Kendall, lol. I really liked Rhett he was this down to earth feel to him who wants better and is willing to do just about anything to make it happen. Olivia is hands down my favorite Monroe so far, she did not put up with a whole lot and was full of sassiness. I also found my self laughing a lot in this book between Sonny and Rhett's grandpa you just never know what was going to come out of their mouth next. I really don't have anything negative to say this book was a fun read and well worth it. Its also a quick read, this author did not disappoint one bit. I received a complimentary copy of this book.

My Review:

I have really enjoyed reading about the Monroe's and the family craziness, it goes to show just because you have money life is not easy. I liked Cassie, she had a heart of gold and she wants to make sure her family has all they need. Bentley he seems so lost and he just needs to find where he can land and feel needed. I loved all the kids in this book I always feel like with kids in a story it tends to guarantee a laugh for sure. This story seemed a little split between Cassie, Bentley and Rhett and Olivia. I am not sure if the author is going to be telling Olivia's story next but I can not wait to read Olivia's story. This is a clean read and over all this book is worth the read so fun and a quick read.

My Review:

I really like this series, I have enjoyed every book so far. I can say this book did not disappoint either. I feel like this story was equally about Devin, Frankie and Myrna as much as Bernadette and Holden. I liked Bernadette a lot I felt she was just a strong independent women who know what she wanted and would not settle for anything less. Holden was ok he came off whiney and almost throwing a tantrum I felt in some situations Devin was more mature then Holden. I of coursed loved catching up with other Monroes. I really can't what to see what happen next with this family. The author did throw a twist into this that will add to other stories I am sure and I can't wait to see how she plays that out. Overall this book was so fun to read I could not put down and so worth it. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

My thoughts on the book:

I am so excited I got to catch up with the Mountain Monroes' again. I always feel like this family is loud in your face, yet down to earth and some how in all the craziness a little relatable. I loved catching up with the characters from the other books kind of makes me want to go back and re-read those stories again. I really have to be honest at first and off an on through out the book I really wanted to smack Wyatt he was so pompous and so far up his you know what he became wishy washy but in the end he goes on you and you get it. I liked Ashley why she had some guilt she dealt with it didn't seem like taking "no" was ever an answer she was stubborn and would stop at nothing to make sure her sister had what she needed. I really overall enjoyed reading this book I liked that the author did keep it a clean read as well. I am not sure if this is the last of the Monroes or not but I hope not they have just been so fun read about and I truly can not wait for more. I received a complimentary copy of this book.

Charmed by the Cook's Kids Melinda Curtis

Description:

A cook rediscovers her passion… 

Thanks to a new chef in town
If she’s to keep her diner afloat, single mom Ivy Parker must overhaul her menu. When high-profile chef Cam Monroe comes to Second Chance, she’s wary of asking for help. Would a perfectionist like him approve of the corners she cuts to find time for her children? But as Cam helps her rediscover her love for cooking, Ivy finds they have more in common than she expected…

My thoughts on the book:

I really love reading about the Monroe family. I like how Grandpa Harlan has set the rules and it really has soften and open the hearts of some. When I first started this book I did not like Cam I really honestly didn't expect to like this book because he just got on my nerves. However that changed pretty quickly he grows on you quickly and he starts to show his true self and his heart. I have loved Ivy from the get go and she has always been a favorite and I could not wait to read her story. Her story was not always easy to read but it makes who she its that much more special. I loved her boys and their spunkiness. There was a situation with Gabby that I want to know what happened but I am sure the author has something big planned for that, not so much that she left us hanging but build up for the next I am sure. I really enjoyed this book a lot and can't wait for more from this family. If you are looking for a clean read and a fun read check this series out, you won't be disappointed. I received a complimentary copy of this book.

Enchanted by the Rodeo Queen Melinda Curtis- The Mountain Monroes' #5

Description:

She’s looking for Mr. Right…

…but can he fill those boots?

Former rodeo queen Emily Clark loves her life in Second Chance, Idaho, but she’s through waiting for a cowboy to sweep her off her feet. Just as she’s thinking of leaving town, she’s offered a job by newcomer Jonah Monroe, a city slicker from Hollywood. Career-minded Jonah isn’t looking to commit—to romance or a ranch—but Emily’s determined to show him exactly what he’s missing…


My thoughts on the book:

Both main characters are Hard headed and stubborn. I feel like because of this it really made the book. The banter and the back and forth just added to it even more. I like the kids in the story I always feel when you can let kids shine in a book it really helps capture the attention of the reader. What I also like was Moody Mike’s story was finally told and I like how the Monroe’s are back. I so hope Bo’s story is coming soon I feel like there is so much more then the little glimpses we got this book of him. I like how the author kept a the story a good clean read. This book over all was a quick and fun read and if you have been following along with this family or you’re just getting started I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Lassoed by the Would-Be Rancher Melinda Curtis- The Mountain Monroes #4

Description:

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

If there’s a way to her heart…

…he’ll jump at the chance!

CEO Shane Monroe sticks out like a sore thumb in Second Chance, Idaho, where he’s investigating his grandfather’s connection to the town’s folklore of stolen treasure. Feisty local Franny Clark ridicules his city-slicker ways but allows Shane to hunt for gold on her land…if he can help save her rodeo ranch. Shane is captivated by Franny’s go-getting attitude, but what will it take for him to win her over?

My thoughts on the book:

I really have enjoyed reading about the Monroe Family they are a fun bunch learning to live and grow with the new circumstances they have been handed. I have to say I was not much a fan of this couple. I loved the Clark children and Gertie they were so fun to read about. I loved Davey and how not matter what he "took the bull by the horns" and ran with it, he was a fighter and it was hard not to love him and his independent spirit. If you have been following the Monroe Family this book will catch you up on the comings and goings and is well worth the read. I also have to say I really liked reading about Bo and Jonah I can't wait to read more of their stories and see what kind of trouble those to cause. This book is a clean read and so good. I received a complimentary copy of this book.

Rescued by the Perfect Cowboy Melinda Curtis

Description:

She came to Second Chance

…he took a chance on love

Art curator Sophie Monroe is overwhelmed with starting a new business and raising four-year-old twins. Needing help, the divorced mom hires cowboy Zeke Roosevelt as her interim nanny! French lessons and bookish pursuits give way to riding and roping. And scholarly Sophie falls hard for the strong, practical cowboy. Until Zeke reveals a secret that may prevent this temporary posse from becoming a permanent family.

My thoughts on the book:

I love this series, Every time the author releases a new book for this series and I get a chance to grab it and read it I am never disappointed. It truly feels like I am coming home or even catching up with friends. The author took a group of stuck up people and made them feel normal average people. I loved how Sophie had to truly find who she was and everything she new life to be was questioned. I loved how Zeke had to reach into his own life and show those around him who he was in order to find who he was. (don't worry I am not giving away anything with those statements) I really so badly want to read Shane's story he made quite an appearance in this one being Sophie's twin and each time he does make an appearance in a book I want to know more and more about him. I loved how the author kept the story line going with so many characters yet kept bring the focus back to Sophie and Zeke that I did not feel like there was to much going on. Really fun read and a total clean read which is nice so that its suitable for all readers. I received an advance copy of this book and I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion.

Snowed in with the Single Dad Melinda Curtis -The Mountain Monroes #2

Description:


Never trust a Monroe—

Especially if she steals your heart!

To mayor and single dad Mitch Kincaid, Second Chance, Idaho, is something of a time capsule, and he wants to keep it that way. His problem? Gorgeous pregnant redhead Laurel Monroe, who, along with her family, now owns the town. But sometimes all it takes is an unexpected opportunity—and a snowstorm—to turn Mitch’s bad first impressions into a second chance at love!

My thoughts on the book:
Who doesn’t deserve a second chance? Well what better place to get it the Second Chance Idaho. The Monroe’s are back in this fun read. I was not a huge fan of Mitch at first I wanted to punch him. Shane and Gabby could be friends the way those two conspire to do things just killed me but they kept the book lively with there antics. Oh Sophia that women has mama bear written all over her she doesn’t just protect her cubs she protects this she loves, and Laurel was not exempt from that. I can’t wait to read Sophia’s story. Laurel has this was about her that I liked she’s fighting for her independence but not quite sure how to get it, I felt like as she discovered who she was and what she was fighting for she found herself. I really enjoyed this fun read. This book is a clean read which was refreshing as well. So worth the read you won’t regret it. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Kissed by the Country Doc Melinda Curtis- The Mountain Monroes #1

Description:

She came to sell a town…

But she found a home

Never in her wildest dreams could single mom Ella Monroe imagine co-inheriting the small town of Second Chance, Idaho—or falling for its curmudgeonly doctor, Noah Bishop. Despite his rough edges and protests for isolation, Noah has her believing in love at first sight again. But when she’s pressured to sell her stake, Ella is torn between family loyalty and following her heart.
My thoughts on the book:

I really enjoyed this love story. I enjoyed how independent Ella is and how what came across through the whole story was how important her daughter and her well being is. In this story Ella seeks a family and she needs to find who she is in order to find the family she has alway wanted. I really like how the other Monroe's made sure she felt like family and she was just as important as they were. I was not a huge fan of Noah he bugged me at first but he grows on you in the end. This book very much feels like you are catching up with friends and not reading fiction. I loved how clean this book was and how it was a quick and easy read. I can't wait to read more of this series and see what's in play for the rest of the Monroe clan.
