Christmas Angel Nancy Naigle

Description:

A heartwarming Christmas story filled with the magic and miracles of the holiday season by USA Today Bestselling author, Nancy Naigle.

Growing up, Liz Westmoreland dreamed of taking over her grandparents inn located in the small mountain town of Antler Creek only for it to be sold before she ever got the chance. While browsing the internet, she stumbles upon a listing for what looks to be the picturesque inn and it’s set to go to auction. Liz places a bid, and by a miracle, wins the auction. But when she gets there she finds the property in significant disrepair.

When Matt Hardy narrowly lost the inn and property that butted his land, he just hoped it wasn't another city slicker coming to make matters worse after the previous owners gutted the place for an art gallery. But the minute he recognized the sweet, freckle-faced girl from his childhood and heard her plans to reopen the inn, he jumps at the chance to help his childhood crush restore a place where he made so many fond memories.

While working on repairs, Liz and Matt discover her grandmother’s collection of angels in one of the cabins. When the angels start mysteriously showing up all over the inn, she begins to look at them as reassurance—that restoring the inn is what she's meant to do. But when an accident leaves Liz feeling like she made a mistake, will Matt—and the residents of Antler Creek—be able to show Liz that she's found a home? And possibly true love as well?

My thoughts on the book:

Oh my Goodness I loved this book. I really could not put this book down. I felt like I just flew through it. This book totally put me into the Christmas spirit and I loved the small town feel of the book. The whole time I was reading it I kept thinking this would make a good hallmark movie. I loved how everyone came together to help each other out and it was truly about helping others then anything else. I also loved that this book was a good clean read and would be suitable for all. I loved how no matter what Liz faced she was a huge fighter. Matt had such a big heart for all as well. I loved Krissy and I hope her story is next omg I can only imagine what trouble she can get into. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Yet when they join forces for to help Hope Harbor seniors, might they also find healing, hope, and a new beginning themselves?

Come home to Hope Harbor--where hearts heal . . . and love blooms

My thoughts on the book:
After a layoff Eric heads home for a short vacation and gets another surprise when he walks into his dads remodel could this day get any worst. He needs to plan his next career move and he's in the middle of a construction zone. But as he's faced with things and helping out his dad's architect he wonders if he knows the choices he's going to make or if he's running from something?
BJ is true to right a wrong and she knows that her plan can help a ton of people and knows that it just has to work, but when faced with some kick back she wonders if she failing the people of Hope Harbor. Will BJ be able to protect her heart and those close to her or will she be at risk again of loosing it all when she is thrown together with Eric to help with Helping Hands? 

There are two main chapters in this book and 2 sub characters each play an important part to the story and have an equal part in the book, its not hard to keep up with who or what is going on so that really nice. Each character seems to be running from something that has happened huge in their past and the struggle is very hard. The storyline is well written and is easy to enjoy the characters. I think in both the first book and this one Charley is my favorite and I am not sure if the author is trying but in my eyes he's and angel and seems like such a sweet man. I really enjoyed Hope Harbor and the togetherness the community offers. 
 The only downside I found was it felt like the book dragged a little in some places. Over all this is a good clean romance and completely an enjoyable read.

Only You, Denise Grover Swank

What's the book about:

A Bachelor Brotherhood Novel
Never say never . . .

Romance isn't an option for Holly Greenwood. With her wedding planner career on the line she needs to stay focused, and that means pleasing her demanding boss, not getting distracted by her mind-alteringly hot neighbor . . . 

Ex-Marine Kevin Vandemeer craves normalcy. Instead, he has a broken-down old house in need of a match and some gasoline, a meddling family, and the uncanny ability to attract the world's craziest women. At least that last one he can fix: he and his buddies have made a pact to swear off women, and this includes his sweetly sexy new neighbor. 

After one hot night that looks a whole lot like a disaster in the light of day, Kevin and Holly are about to learn that true love doesn't play by the rules . . .

My thoughts on the book:

Kevin has come home from the Marines and his last girlfriend, and his sister has the biggest surprise for him. In the mean time he has sworn off women and when he meets his neighbor he knows he has to get to know her. When he finds out who she is he knows he needs to know her just that much more.
But will he be able to open his heart and let his walls down or will he end up screwing up and loosing it all? Holly is in her dream job just not with a dream boss. She has a big wedding coming up and she can't disappoint the client or her boss but she feels the tension between her boss and her and knows something is up, but will she do just about anything to keep her job? She hooks up with her neighbor and finds out who he is and needs to keep the distance it just one more thing keeping her from making the best for her grandma. Will she be able to keep her heart guarded and her walls up or will her neighbor knock down on her walls?
I had fun reading this book, the author takes moments and in those moments she puts in the funniest things at that perfect time and has you laughing out loud. The storyline is so good and keeps you drawn in to the point that you feel like you are catching up with friends instead of reading a story. Its completely enjoyable and a super quick read. I  did not expect the ending such a surprise and it tied the book up completely, I really could not see the book ending any other way. I can't wait to read more from this author and this series. 
*This book does contain strong language and adult scenes.

Love of the Game, Stardust, Texas #3 Lori Wilde

What's the book about:

A sexy sports superstar discovers his body isn’t the only thing that needs healing in this newest Stardust, Texas novel from New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde.

With major league good looks and talent, Dallas Gunslingers relief pitcher Axel Richmond was living the good life. Even if the roar of the crowd could never distract him from the loss of his young son. But now with an injured shoulder and his career on the line, Axel is stuck recuperating at a ranch in Stardust, Texas . . . striking out only with his gorgeous physical therapist.

Kasha Carlyle has one week to get Axel back in action or she can kiss her much-needed job with the Gunslingers goodbye. And any chance to seek custody of the orphaned half-sister she never knew existed. She quickly learns that Axel’s guarded heart also needs healing . . . requiring all kinds of sneaky plays and sexy moves in extra innings.

• Praise for Lori Wilde’s Stardust, Texas Series and Love Of The Game
• “Amusing, passionate, and rampant with sexual tension, this magic dusted escapade is just plain fun and a wonderful harbinger of things to come. Wilde is an expert at developing endearing Texas communities and here gives fans another one to savor.”—Library Journal
• “[A] sweet and sexy story of first love, small towns, and family.”—Booklist
• “Wilde brings readers to Stardust, Texas, where baseball and romance are the name of the game . . . Wilde has another winner.”—RT Book Reviews

My thoughts on the book:
Axel was doing what he loved playing baseball and living the life. When an injury left him with a choice of surgery he noticed Kasha and wanted her opinion, when she said relax he knew he had to take the chance and relax. He was dealing with the loss of his son and he knows that he needs to add that to the healing process. But will he be able to heal and keep his promise to his son and he's dream alive?
 Kasha knows what its like to live in hell. When she discovers she has a half sister who has a disability she sets out to become her legal guardian and the includes getting the job at Gunslingers as a physical therapist, but when she opens her mouth and gives her opinion she puts everything on the line including protecting her heart. But will she be able to have it all and will she let Axel in to break down the walls she has had since she lost her parents or will the secret be to much and will she loose it all.
     I really, really enjoyed this book. There is passion, there is love, there is heartbreak, there is fun and there is joy and hurt but it all makes for a wonderful book. It was a real pager turner leaving you wanting more with each chapter. I really felt like I was catching up with friends in the book and not reading a story of fiction. The author does and amazing job in telling a story where it brings awareness to Down syndrome. There really is not anything I did not like about this book. While there are some adult scenes in this book I would not recommend to just anyone. You really can not go wrong with this sweet love story of healing, hope and finding who you are.
