Counting on a Cowboy Sara Richardson

    

Description:

In this sizzling, sassy western romance, she’s been burned by too many cowboys—but can this rodeo rider convince her he’s worth the risk?

Retired SEAL Thatch Hearst never thought he’d put down roots, but four years in Star Valley as a bronc rider has him calling the town home. All he needs now is to earn some real money by competing in the big leagues. He’ll have his chance with the town’s upcoming rodeo days, but first he needs to improve his scores. Running out of time—and ideas—Thatch enlists the help of a local yoga instructor, hoping to gain an extra edge.  

​Lyric Valenza has worked with difficult clients, but this ruggedly handsome cowboy might just be her biggest challenge. Marrying a cowboy was the biggest mistake of her life, and after her divorce, she vowed she’d never again need a man. Only the more time she spends with Thatch, the more she realizes there’s a difference between needing and wanting someone—and this cowboy may just be the one person she doesn’t want to be without.

My Review:

I really enjoyed this book it! Its one of those book that you just feel part of the friend group and you can't wait for more. Thatch has this big heart but he doesn't want to put himself out there for someone again who doesn't or can't love him as much as he loves them. He cares so deeply for his friends and would do anything for them. Lyric is a broken soul just looking to move past something that seems to continue to haunt her years later. She loves her friends but alway has no problem keep everyone at arms length. I loved Thatch's dad I could not stop laughing at his silliness. This is a small town with big hearts and they will help everyone which is pretty amazing. This book does have some tough topics and sexual content so it may not be suitable for all. Overall it was a fun read and worth the read.

Merry Christmas, Montana Elsa Winckler

 

 Description:

She doesn’t believe in miracles, but maybe this holiday her son’s Christmas wish will change her mind.

Single mom Riley O’Sullivan isn’t one to complain, but with her closest family members now settled in Marietta, Montana, while she still calls Portland home, finding good help isn’t as easy as it used to be. With Christmas approaching, Riley and her young son Dylan are excited to be in Marietta with family for the holidays; but she certainly doesn’t need maddening Mitch Miller coming to her rescue, awakening her senses, or making Dylan ask questions about what dads do.

Mitch Miller left his successful financial career behind him when he moved to Marietta with his two sisters. He’s not looking for love, but Riley captivates him like no other woman ever has. She thinks he’s an overprotective grinch–with good cause–but it’s clear to everyone Riley and Dylan could use a little Christmas magic and he’s willing to help. It’s not as if he’s offering his heart.

Perhaps all it will take to bring them together is the Christmas wish from one special little boy.

My Review:

I liked Mitch, he was known in the other books as "The Yelling Brother" so I loved how he came off one way and in the book you start to really see who he is. He really values family and loves his sisters and would do anything for them and those he loves. Riley was all over the board for me but in the end I got why she was the way she was. She to has a big heart for anyone who comes into her life and will drop everything she's doing to be there for those she loves. I think hands down my favorite character is Janice she was always up to something and had no problem meddling and I loved her little sidekick Dylan those two were made for each other for sure. Overall this was a cute love story with lots of laughs and some tears but lots of family and fun as well. There is sex in this story so it may not be suitable for all.

The Texas Cowboy's Proposal Debra Holt

 

  Description:

They had a foolproof plan...until one little girl got involved.

Sammi Jo Burkitt's formidable grandmother's will is pushing Sammi Jo to the brink. Yes, the feisty cowgirl can keep the ranching empire known as Aces High, which has been the family birthright for two centuries, but she must marry her rival and stay married for three years as part of the deal. Say no, and Aces High goes on the auction block.

Beaudry Hawkes wants nothing to do with the high and mighty Burkitts. Until the day Sammi Jo shows up on his doorstep with a proposition no one in their right mind would refuse: wear her ring, then accept thousands of acres of rich ranch land and a tidy sum of three million dollars when they part ways. The windfall could change everything for his daughter's future.

But eight-year-old Lacy is becoming attached to the idea of one happy family. Nothing short of a true marriage between the two can make her dreams come true. Can Sammi Jo and Beaudry find their freedom and love too?

My Review:

This story was cute. I loved Lacy she was so adorable in this book she was wise beyond her years for sure. I loved Sammi Jo as well she is not who she seems in a good way and she was a true pistol/fighter but she knew the most important thing in life and she knew that not everything come from money. I did not like Beaudry I just felt he was a big jerk and I felt like Sammi JO deserved so much more then him. I was a huge fan of Jaxson and Matt they had so much more sense and so much more sassiness they took a serious situation and had you laughing! Overall this was a fun book and semi clean.

A Lot Like Forever Jennifer Snow

 

 Description:

Whitney Carlisle has everything under control—or at least that’s what she needs everyone in Blue Moon Bay to think. She has always faced the hard times in her life head-on and come out stronger for it. But this time, she isn’t so sure. Whitney knows she needs help, but how can she put that burden on Trent, her fiancé? How can she crush his dreams by telling him the plans they made for a future together have to change?

All Trent Connolly wants is to get married, have kids, and spend the rest of his life loving Whitney. Their relationship has had its share of ups and downs—like any other couple—and they’ve always managed to get through it unscathed. So when Whitney is clearly struggling with something, Trent is ready to help. His fiancée’s strong will is part of what draws him to her—but this time, it feels like it’s pushing him away.

Whatever Whitney is hiding from everyone has to be big. Possibly life-changing. She must believe that revealing her secret would do Trent more harm than good, even if it crushes her under the weight of it. The only thing he can do now is be there for her in whatever way she needs…until a secret of his own comes to light that threatens to steal their chance at forever. 

Each book in the Blue Moon Bay series is STANDALONE:
* A Lot Like Love
* A Lot Like Christmas
* A Lot Like Forever

My Review:

I was really torn with this book, I will say that I did like it. Let me explain though I am one of those people who will judge a book by its cover and don't ever read the back. So Going in I wasn't sure what to expect, the story started off super strong and I was on board until about half way through. I liked Trent a lot he seemed like a really good guy with the biggest heart but it also seemed not matter what he did as far as in his life it seemed he was always on pins and needles with Whitney just waiting for the "ball to drop". Whitney came off like a strong female at first but then came off as whiny almost annoying. I felt like she spent more time pushing away those who loved her. I really loved the relationship with the four friends they were "ride or die" they would drop anything and help each other out. I wish the world had more friendships like that. Overall the story was a fun read, it does have adult content so it may not be suitable for all readers.

One Night with a Cowboy Sara Richardson

 

Description:

Sparks fly when a handsome cowboy and a strong-willed widow must work together, in this charming contemporary western romance from a national bestselling author -- with a bonus story by Carly Bloom!

Rodeo cowboy Wes Harding left his family ranch after one reckless mistake cost his loved ones everything. But when his sister needs help, Wes agrees to come home and take the reins of their ranch’s big charity event. However, he didn’t plan for his distracting, stubborn co-hostess. One kiss with Thea throws his world off balance . . . and has Wes craving the family he’s never dared dreamed of.

With the week drawing to a close, can Wes convince her to give love a chance before she leaves Silverado Lake—and him—behind for good?

Includes the bonus novella It's All About that Cowboy by Carly Bloom!

My thoughts on the book:

When I first started this book it felt like I had read it before, which yes I know its new so that's impossible. However after a few pages in, that change and the author did a really great job of taking you on an emotional journey through Thea and Wes' life. I really like both characters equally. I feel like when an author makes the characters relatable and feel like friends you know you are in for a book that will keep your attention. I think one of my favorite lines in the book is "He Lived to spend time with his family." I feel this sums up the book and it shows how powerful a choice can be when you make it. This is some sexual content in this book, Over all I would read this one again it was emotional, but also found myself laughing too. Friendship is the key in the book. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Stained Heart Crystal Joy

 

4 out of 5 stars

Description:

Grace Cunningham worries about everything—her struggling bed-and-breakfast, her son’s negative attitude, and her best friend’s wedding. Scratch that. It’s not the wedding that concerns her; it’s one of the groomsmen. Her ex. It’s been eleven years since Grace moved away from Maple Valley without telling Caleb her life-altering secret. With a full summer of wedding festivities ahead, Grace must finally face the past and divulge the painful truth to the only man she’s ever loved. 


After serving a decade in the U.S. Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel Caleb Meyers returns to his small town to spend more time with his aging father. But the longer he’s home, the more Caleb second-guesses his decision to leave and considers reenlisting. Avoiding the difficult decision, he spends every waking minute staying busy—searching for a serial arsonist, volunteering for the mayor, and helping his sister with wedding plans. If only wedding planning didn’t include Grace, the unforgettable single mom who broke his heart eleven years ago. 


As the summer unfolds, Grace and Caleb rekindle their chemistry and dream of the promising relationship they’d once shared. But the scars of their past threaten to destroy their future once again. Can Grace and Caleb discover a new path before the arsonist strikes again and jeopardizes everything?  

My thoughts on the book:

So if you have been following my reviews for long you know I like finding new to me authors, and here is one of those.

So this is a new to me author and because of that I have not read any of the other books in the series. This book did not disappoint. From the beginning to the end some of it has you on the edge of your seat. I really liked Grace and her story. I did feel that the book was predictable but it still did not take away from the story overall. I liked Caleb and his story it was deep and emotional for sure. I would say that for those who are content sensitive: this book contains non-graphic scenes and descriptions of a sexual assault. The book other then that is a good clean read and may be suitable for the right age. I would totally recommend this book very quick read and worth it. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Small Town, Big Secrets Elsie Davis

Description:

To save her son, shy but determined waitress Becky McAllister would do just about anything. But she never expected “anything” to include the brother of the man who broke her heart. 

Steve Parker needs a wife, now, if he has any hopes of winning his local DA election and becoming the advocate for the underserved he’s always dreamed of being. The sweet waitress seems like just the person—if he can get her to agree. 

One year of marriage—no strings, no personal attachments. Becky gets the insurance funds she needs for her son’s surgery while Steve’s poll ratings soar. Neither planned on a commitment in their future, so they should have no problem making it through the year without getting emotionally involved, right?

Except Becky’s holding on to a secret from her past—one that would change everything.

My thoughts on the book:

I never know what I’m going to get with a book when the storyline is marriage of convince. This book however was super adorable I loved Bryon his personality really shined through. I had a love/dislike with Steve at first he comes off as everyone should just love me no matter what, but he grew on me really quick and the author did a good job and showing his heart but still making him a fighter. Oh my Becky is a fighter and my heart truly just broke for her sometimes in the book, she knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it when it comes to Bryon. This is a first book for me by this author and I want to much more. Such a good read and I like that the author kept it a clean read. 

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.

The Cowboy's Daughter Jamie K. Schmidt - Three Sister's Ranch #1

Description:
She’s moved home, but can she move on?

One night with professional bull rider Trent Campbell had been everything that Kelly Sullivan had fantasized about. Unfortunately, it cost her everything. When she became pregnant, her father threw her out because she wouldn’t tell him the baby's father was his rodeo hero—the hero who ghosted her when she tried so many times to tell him about their daughter.

Trent Campbell never forgot the best night of his life. It was what kept him going when a 2,000-lbs bull ended his career and almost his life. Throughout his long recovery, thinking of Kelly and wishing he still had his stolen phone so he could contact her, were what got him through the tough days—that, and his bull-headed stubbornness that he’d not only walk again, he’d ride.

When Kelly returns to Last Stand, Texas, in a last-ditch effort to keep her family from selling the Three Sisters Ranch, she has a plan to make her father proud of her again by turning part of the land into a portrait studio location. Her father, however, has already temporary leased Trent some land for a rodeo school. Kelly and Trent still have the same explosive chemistry, but now the stakes are higher. If she lets Trent into her life, it won’t only be her heart he breaks this time if he leaves, it will be their daughter’s.


My thoughts on the book:

At first I found the book quite predictable, but that’s where it’s stops. After the first few chapters the author put a fun spin on things and kept my interest throughout. I wanted to know what was happening and where she was going next in the story. I loved the three sisters they were fun to read about and have their own independent attitude but also take no prisoners or it’s all of them or nothing. Alissa that small part she appeared in the story he personality just jumped off the pages. I was not a fan at all of Frank even in the end I felt like he got what was coming to him and I was over him. This book does have strong language and sex, but otherwise a really good book. I would totally recommend this fun and quick read can’t wait to see what happens next at three sister ranch.  I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

He just doesn't get the welcome home he was hoping for but will stop at nothing to make a better life for his daughter. Brit followed her twin home and is disappointed that everyone keeps saying that she just into arts and crafts.

I really enjoyed this book and the storyline. I enjoyed that it was truly a clean story and it was completely enjoyable. There was some guessing on what was going to happen next. I enjoyed the fun and crazy characters in the book, they seemed to add another element to the book. I loved Sam and her spunky personality but all her softer and sweet side that she adds to the story as well. I hope there is more story to come from this fun bunch and I hope to hear Reggie's story I feel like there is more to her. Such a fun love story and worth the read.

Merry Cowboy Christmas Carolyn Brown (Lucky Penny Ranch)

Description:

THIS CHRISTMAS, SANTA'S WEARING A STETSON
'Tis the night before Christmas and all through the house is the presence of one wickedly hot cowboy who's come to stay for the holiday. Fiona Logan is downright shocked to return to her childhood home and find that the tall blond stranger who came to her rescue on an icy road will be sleeping just across the hall from her bedroom. Talk about temptation . . . 

Jud Dawson never believed the Lucky Penny Ranch would live up to its name until now. Fiona is gorgeous, smart, funny, and everything he thought he'd never find. Now all he has to do is convince her to stick around town instead of hightailing it back to Houston. But with wild weather, nosy neighbors, and a new baby in the family, getting her to admit that she's falling in love might just take a Christmas miracle.

My thoughts on the book:

Jud has finally caught up with his cousins on the Lucky Penny and he is itching to have what they have. A family and a future wife to adore, love and come home to every night. He's just not seeing that in the future right now and he is focusing on building this amazing ranch with his family. Fiona is coming home with a big secret and her family is welcoming her with open arms, she is surprised to see a hot sexy cowboy living across the hall from her. She knows it will be best for all involved to keep him at arms length. Will they both be able to exist and build a friendship and escape with the hearts in tact in the end or will they walk away broken hearted?
What a fun read and had a lot of fun catching up with the fun characters of Lucky Penny Ranch. I enjoyed this book it put me in the christmas spirit. It has some fun characters that start right off and some that you really want to know so that you can put them in there place, or maybe slap them. This book has the wonderful small town feel all of it. The language is on the strong side and there are some adult language in this book so its may not be for everyone. However if your looking a book full of fun sexy cowboys and some christmas flair then grab this book sit back and enjoy.

I really love this series of books. This author writes this series of good clean romance and this book is the same way. In this book Poppy seemed to deal with some tough things in her life and the author doesn't hold back with each of those subjects. I loved how in this book and her others you really connect with the Characters and you truly feel like your catching up with friends. I felt like in this book it dragged a little but over all the book was amazing and I found it hard to put down once I was drawn in. You really can not go wrong with this book.

Tease Me Cowboy Rachael Johns

What's the book about:
Selah Davis loves her life as a journalist in Seattle (or so she says) but on a rare trip home to Marietta to cover the Copper Mountain Rodeo, she confesses to her best friends over drinks that her one regret in life is not sleeping with her high school boyfriend, Levi Monroe. Into the bar walks Levi, also home for the rodeo. When her friends dare her to proposition him for a one night stand, she's at first appalled...but the more she thinks about remedying her one regret, the less she can get him and their electric chemistry out of her head. Selah's always been her parents' good daughter. Would it hurt for just one night to be a little bad?

Levi Monroe is ready to settle back in Marietta and start his own rodeo school teaching others the techniques that have made him a star. He doesn't want any distractions during his last rodeo where he aims to win All Around Cowboy, but when his high school sweetheart - the one woman he's never been able to forget - comes along and offers to rewrite their history, it might just be an offer too good to refuse.

My thoughts on the book:
This book was a short read but packed with a lot of fun, and yummy romance. The storyline draws you in and keeps you all the way to the end. The book is steamy, but has a fun story and it not just your traditional Romance. I love a good Cowboy book and this is one of them I can't wait to read more but Rachael.

Decadent Adrianne Lee

What's the book about:

Contractor Wade Reynolds is having a tough year. His cherry farm went bust, and his construction clients threaten to unhinge what's left of his sanity. But Wade's passion for life heats up when he's hired to remodel a new storefront next to Big Sky Pie -and he falls for the red-hot, bad girl who's setting up her catering shop there.

Fresh off her own divorce, Roxy isn't looking for another relationship, just a spontaneous fling or three. Her contractor Wade looks as delicious as her specialty confections, but he's way too buttoned-up for a casual affair. Yet there's an ultra-sexy strength about him Roxy can't resist. What that man clearly needs is something decadent-like her...

My thoughts on the book:

This book was a fun read. I love how the characters have so much chemistry, its sweet and caring but HOT with a capitol H, between them and you can feel it coming of the page. I think one of my favorite things about this book and thus far with all of Ms. Lee's book are that everything seems to be fixed with pie and a good drink or a simple beer. There is a part in the book were the men are sitting around drinking beer and eating pie and it reminds me of my Father in-law and his friends you will always find them sitting around drinking and eatin, so I feel like this could be very much real life too. I liked how she took to broken people who were not ready for much of anything and shared the story in such away that it kept you hooked till the end. You go rooting for the underdog in this book. But each person seems to deal with some rough issues but they don't wallow in it. I love how she also brought back the characters from other books and gets you caught up in there lives but doesn't go to far from the storyline to do so like I have seen other authors do. I can not wait to read more from her she has a gift for story telling and this book does a good job showing it. This book ends with a recipe and I swear a girl can never have enough pie recipes. I hope you enjoy this fun book.

My thoughts on the book:

This a very sweet romance, almost too sweet for an adult contemporary, and yet it works. So much of what I’ve read in the genre lately has steamy sex scenes which Flirting is completely devoid of.I loved the relationship these two had, pure sparks which quickly turned to love! The story line was fresh and the characters were fun to get to know. Cant wait to read more from this author in the future

The second book in the Bonifay Family series by Keira Cole, following Come and Get It

As one of the youngest Bonifays, Rebecca suffered the most when her parents died, but with the strength of her close-knit Texas family behind her, she came through it and now helps run the Bonifay ranch and her own horse rescue operation. She’s also matured into a sexy and beautiful woman with an itch that needs scratching. Setting her sights on Jesse English, the dark cowboy who’s recuperating at the ranch, Rebecca decides it’s time to stop letting her older siblings call the shots and start taking charge of her own desires.

Jesse is a drifter through and through. Orphaned at a young age, he’s seen the worst of state care and foster homes, and he knows better than to put down roots in any one place for long. Scarred by his drug-addled father, he knows he’s not good-looking enough for a woman like Rebecca, and with nothing to offer her, he just wants to get healthy at the ranch and move on before he gets hurt again.

As Jesse begins to heal and Rebecca makes it more than clear that she wants the moody and ruggedly handsome cowboy to be her first, he has to fight every impulse he has as a man to keep her at a distance. But there’s no denying the headstrong beauty or the raging passion building between them, and as the two struggle with their conflicting needs they discover a stronger connection that just might give them both the chance to mend their damaged hearts.

My thoughts on the book:

Wow if I could only use one word to describe this book it would have to be HOT. This is such a short book but packed with so much. The story was well written. I love how it keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting to know whats going to happen next. You can feel the sexual chemistry coming off the pages between the characters, don't get me wrong this book is not completely about sex its got a really great storyline about a cowboy who feels like he doesn't belong and a cowgirl who feels like its her job to make sure everything and everyone belongs. If you are looking for a steamy read but a quick read I would have to say this is your book.

My thoughts on the book:

This book is not your typical Cinderella fairy tale by all means. This book has a lot of back on forth but also has a lot of "steamy" Parts. I have to say I had a hard time putting this book down I was anxious to see what was going to happen next. From the beginning to the very last page I can say there is not a dull moment. I will say this though so parts I felt where maybe a little to detailed but over all that did not take away from the story line or distant you from it either. I love the chemistry coming of the pages from each character in the book as well as the spark between the main characters. I goes to show love is not easy and you have to fight for it all the while trying not to loose site of the greater picture or yourself. If you are looking for a book with some actions, some sexy steam parts and some really great writing you really can not go wrong with this book.

Local politicians and the city's newspaper catch wind of her quest, and the entire state joins in Hannah's hope that she'll find her father before Christmas.

My thoughts on the book:

This is a the last book in the red glove series and I have to say you really don't have to read all the books to get the going on of the story, they are not tied together from what I can tell. This is the second book of the red glove series I read and I always thought these book were more geared to tweens and teens so I had no interest in ever reading them I finally broken down and read two and I think I will be getting the others so that I can read them. The story lines are amazing.In this one at some points it was very suspenseful on the edge of your seat. I loved the book but I was left wanting more at the end I felt almost like there was still a little more to the story that was left unsaid. Over all though the book is worth the read in quick simple and any one even teens would be blessed by the christmas miracle in this story. I love how in the book it talks about believing many times over. You will have to read the story to understand what I mean by that but this book is work the buy and the read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

December Bride Denise Hunt

 

What's the book about:

A very couple has a love story. Join us for a year of contemporary, seasonal wedding novellas, releasing in e-book every month. Each e-novella will include an excerpt from another wedding story in the Year of Weddings Collection as well as a list of the author’s full-length novels.

What started as a whim turned into an accidental - and very public - engagement. Can Layla and Seth keep up the facade in Chapel Springs this holiday season - for the sake of her career . . . and his heart?

Under normal circumstances, Seth Murphy, the best friend of Layla O'Reilly's ex-fiance would be the last person she'd marry. But the news of their upcoming (and phony) nuptials convinces a big client that Layla may be high-society enough to work for his agency, a coup that would put her fledgling home-staging business on the map. Seth has secretly loved Layla for years, even when she was dating his best friend. Maybe she'll never forgive him for the way he hurt her back then, but he has to try. And Layla is willing to keep up their engagement farce until she's landed her client. For Layla, it's the chance to save her career. But for Seth, it's his last chance to win her heart. A year's worth of novellas from twelve inspirational romance authors. Happily ever after guaranteed.

My thoughts on the book:

This story is a quick read that quickly gets to a struggle between two people who have not been in the best of situations but take the time to work together and find out whats important. Why this book is short and sweet its a fun read. I know this is a novella but my only wish was that the story was longer this is a great and fun read and I can say easily be read in an hour to an hour and half. Definitely worth the buy. I can't wait to read more A year of the wedding books

What it Takes, Kathryn Ascher

But she's still miles behind her current costar, and Hollywood playboy, Patrick Lyons.

Kelsy has successfully kept Patrick at a distance, and her reputation intact, until her drunkard brother-in-law Richard threatens to ruin everything by selling her darkest secret to the highest bidder. Now the victim of blackmail, Kelsey has nowhere else to turn but to Patrick's arms. But, can he be trusted? Or will the past destroy them all before she can find out if he's the hero she needs? "What it Takes" is the first book in the Rocky Creek Series by Kathryn Ascher. Sequels are expected to release in 2015 and 2016.

My thoughts on the book:

Over all I liked this book. The story line was well wrote 
the only thing I think I did not like about the book it the way the build up at 
the end. i think if that would have been maybe earlier in the book and maybe 
worked a little bit different it would have been that much better. Over all I 
hope that this author writes a follow up book with the story of Janelle. I also 
love how the author did not shy back from bring awareness to tough subjects such 
as Domestic Violence and alcoholism.

This is a book you won't want to put 
down I have found out after writing this review that author is releasing more to 
the series so I no understand the build up at the end.
