Description:

ONE LITTLE LIE. A WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE.
Moments after meeting the most gorgeous guy ever, Gabby Winters promptly gets stung by a zillion yellowjackets and falls-not gracefully-into a stream. Yup, Ethan Hunter is trouble with a capital "hot," and Gabby definitely needs to keep her distance. Except in the small town of Haven, there's nowhere to hide from Ethan's sexy, infectious grin . . . and all the residents are conspiring against her.

At the center of the town's matchmaking is Ethan's grandmother, who's convinced their relationship is a done deal. Rather than break her heart, Gabby and Ethan find themselves cornered into pretending to be falling in love. The problem: there's serious sizzling attraction between them. And if this charade continues, they won't fool just the entire town - they might fool themselves too . . .


My thoughts on the book:

Gabby has gone to the mountains to find herself. She not looking for a relationship she just got out of one but when she stumbles onto the hottest guy she's ever seen of course she has to get stung by a ton of yellowjacks. When she falls she knows she needs to stay away from him but his sweet grandma seems to have other plans for the both of them. 
Ethen has a plan for his life and that is to keep the women close but there emotions far far away. He enjoys women and he enjoys the next adventure as well. He and his best friends have come home to open off the grid adventure and they plan to make the best of it. When Ethen gets some bad news he knows there is one way to help and he knows he method will not explode in his face its a fool proof plan. Or is it?
This book touches on some tough subjects over all self worth is a big factor on both main characters part. I really enjoyed how the author didn't leave anything off topic it seemed. The storyline is just amazing. The characters at some points felt so raw with emotions it felt like you were catching up with people you know. I loved Lance the puppy and his little personality and I just loved loved Dixie and I loved her old school personality. I felt however that the amount of strong language really took away from it over all it was just to much. There are some sex scenes in the book so this book is not for all ages.

Hope Harbor, Irene Hannon

What's the book about:
Tracy Campbell never wanted to leave Hope Harbor, Oregon, or the idyllic three-generation cranberry farm where she grew up. But life–and love–altered her plans.

When tragedy strikes and changes her plans yet again, she finds herself back in her hometown with a floundering farm to run and a heartbreaking secret. Romance is not on her agenda. Nor is it on Michael Hunter’s. The visitor from Chicago has daunting secrets of his own. But when Tracy recruits him to help save a struggling charitable organization, the winds of change begin to sweep through Hope Harbor, bringing healing, hope, and love to countless lives–including their own.

My thoughts on the book:

Tracy Campbell is home in Hope Harbor she's hard at work on her family cranberry farm and working hard at saving it. She has experienced a lot of loss in her life and at this point her only focus is getting and keeping the farm in black and maybe she can let go of the guilt and regret she has lived with for the last two years. Michael has just come to Hope Harbor to visit and in hopes of finding answers he also needs to find forgiveness and hopes that the town of Hope Harbor will live up to its name and bring him Hope. When Tracy comes crashing into his life he knows it just one more he needs to correct but he needs to figure out how he can do that and still find the hope he is seeking.  Ann is a recluse and has been for some time and when she find Micheal on the street corner she knows she needs to help him and she's completely drawn to him for only one reason will she be able to keep her reclusive lifestyle and help him? Will all three find the forgiveness they are seeking or will it be to late?
I really enjoyed this book 100%. The book has three main characters and the author did an amazing job tying them all together in the storyline, it was easy to keep up with and was completely enjoyable book. Each character is dealing with forgiveness and weather forgiving themselves or forgiving someone else they struggle with the guilt. The characters were very relatable and I found it easy to fall in love with them and they felt more like catching up with a friend the reading a book about fictional characters. You really can not go wrong with this book so amazing.

What's the book about:
She gave up everything in the name of love and it almost cost Kate Alexander her life. Now alone and pregnant, Kate is desperate to reach the one person who matters most in her life. Her Grandmother Rachel.
After the death of his son, Matt Stevens checked out on life and God, but when Kate shows up at his doorstep desperate and sick, Matt finds himself wanting to help her. Is it just for Rachel’s sake? While he loved Rachel like a family member, lately since Kate’s entrance into his life, he finds himself thinking about things he’d written out of his life. Things like love and a future with Kate and her child.
Is it possible for two broken people to rebuild their lives and start over? Can Matt accept the second chance at happiness Kate can provide? Can Kate trust Matt when he tells her love isn’t supposed to hurt?

My thoughts on the book:
Kate feels like she is still on the run and she needs to get to her grandma the one person that keeps her grounded and matters the most to her. Matt is dealing with the lost of his son and he is not to happy when Kate shows up on his doorstep. But when Kate seems like she needs his help he reluctantly helps her but he wonders why. Will they be able to help each other or will a potential loss send them both in different directions?
I loved this book it was amazing. Its a quick read but pact for of adventure and an amazing story. I had a hard time putting this down for any reason. I found my self at the end wishing for more only because it was that good not because the book ended in a cliffhanger. I really enjoyed how the author wrote about some tough subjects but showed even in the midst of it all Kate continue to fight the battle she was given. Matt was a tough cookie sometimes I wanted to just smack him up side his head but other times I just loved the person he was becoming. There really was nothing about the book I did not like. You really can not go wrong with this fun clean read.

Montana Skies Mary Alford

What's the book about:

Cara Stevens is finally coming back home to Cartwright, Montana. But will she find the place she longs from her childhood or a past without hope. 
Since Cara left Cartwright a little more than a year earlier, not much has changed. Except her life is in shambles, her heart broken and the man she thought she had left behind is standing before her claiming to be a changed man. 

My thoughts on the book:

Cara had taken off about finding out the truth about her marriage, or what she thought was the truth. She is not back and she has some deep dark secrets that she knows she needs to keep close to her heart. But will she be able to keep those close to her heart and try to become friends with her ex husband?  Jase has some demons he's fighting and when and accident wakes him up he knows its time for a change or he's going to kill himself. When his wife comes back into his life he hope they can amend these but he's wondering if he lost her forever. Will he be able to keep his own secrets and win Cara back or will the past just be to much for both and they can only be friends?
Such a sweet love story I really enjoyed it. I felt like from the beginning this was not your typical love story. In some stories one of the characters has issues and the heron steps in and fixes it, in this story the author did an amazing job of telling a story from the brokenness of two broken people who have to work together towards forgiveness and friendship. I enjoyed that everything seemed really and natural and didn't seem rushed. This really is just a sweet story and you can't go wrong with it. Its a quick read but well worth every bit of it.

Driftwood Cowboy Lenora Worth

What's the book about:
Can she heal from a tragedy too great to bear?

When Michelle Lancaster flees her hometown of Spirit, Louisiana to spend time at a beach retreat in Driftwood Bay, Florida, she only wants to run from the tremendous pain of a tragedy that caused her perfect life to shatter into pieces.

But on the day when the memories become too much, a man steps into her path on the beach and causes her beloved horse Coco to almost throw her. Not to mention this is the one man Michelle has tried to avoid. But laid-back boat captain and artist Brodie Stevens has his eye on Michelle and soon, he is pursuing her with a strong-willed determination. He too is haunted, but believes that together they can heal each other. Now the driftwood cowboy must convince Michelle it’s possible to hope… and to love again.

My thoughts on the book:

Michelle, is broken and what appears to be on the run from something. Brodie, has been running his whole life he was and has been completely broken and when he sees Michelle he realizes he is ready to take on the task. the only thing is Michelle needs to heal and has no intention of letting anyone or anything close again. When tragedy strikes it seems that its finally time to let everything out, for both Brodie and Michelle. 
   I have to say this book is amazing for once not just another story built on sexual attraction. I loved the fun characters in the story and I felt like I was catching up with friends not just read a story about people I knew nothing about this book is amazing. you can not go wrong with it.
